Solution Overview
Problem
Existing working machines, such as tractors, lack an efficient system for prioritizing and displaying multiple operational parameters, leading to complex and error-prone settings processes.
Innovation Solution
A display device with multiple axis display portions and a marker display portion that allows operators to set and visualize priority values for different operational parameters, simplifying the setting and input of settings through a user-friendly interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If multiple priority values are set for different operational parameters, then operational efficiency is improved, but the complexity of the setting process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the traditional one-dimensional linear setting method into a three-dimensional space-based setting interface. Multiple priority values are arranged in a 3D space with three orthogonal axes, allowing operators to set and visualize multiple parameters simultaneously in different spatial dimensions. This dimensional transformation enables efficient multi-parameter configuration without increasing operational complexity.
2Loss of information
If multiple priority values are displayed for different operational parameters, then information completeness is improved, but the difficulty of detecting and measuring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different visual characteristics to different regions of the 3D space. Each axis and its corresponding priority values have distinct visual identifiers (different orientations, labels, and spatial positions). This allows operators to easily distinguish and detect specific priority values among multiple parameters by focusing on relevant local areas of the 3D display, reducing the difficulty of detecting and measuring multiple priority settings.
3Ease of operation
If a traditional setting interface is used for multiple priority values, then device simplicity is maintained, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs three-dimensional space as the foundation for the setting interface, organizing multiple priority values along three orthogonal axes. This spatial arrangement provides intuitive visual separation and logical organization of multiple parameters, making it easier for operators to set and understand priority relationships without being overwhelmed by interface complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The setting interface is segmented into three independent orthogonal axes, each representing a different dimension of priority values. This segmentation divides the complex multi-parameter setting task into three manageable directional components, allowing operators to systematically configure each axis independently while maintaining overall system coherence.

AI summary
A working machine has a display device including: an area display portion to display a setting area for setting the first priority value, the second priority value, and the third priority value; a first axis display portion including a first scale portion indicating the first priority value depending on a distance from the reference point; a second axis display portion including a second scale portion indicating the second priority value depending on a distance from the reference point; a third axis display portion including a third scale portion indicating the third priority value depending on a distance from the reference point; and a marker display portion to be indicated in a partial area corresponding to at least two of the first axis display portion, the second axis display portion, and the third axis display portion.
