Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an apparatus providing drive guide information of a construction equipment includes: an information acquisition unit acquiring information generated according to a motion of the construction equipment; a storage unit storing an item defined for calculating a score for worker driving of the construction equipment and an equation for calculating the score for the item, and storing a guide phrase for each item and information on equipment setting change for each item; a control unit calculating the score for each item according to the information provided, and selecting an item which needs to be improved based on the calculated score for each item; and a display unit displaying a guide phrase matching an item selected according to an instruction of the control unit and information on equipment setting change matching the selected item at a predetermined time.

Claims (32)

1. An apparatus for providing drive guide information of a construction equipment, the apparatus comprising:

an information acquisition unit acquiring information generated according to a motion of the construction equipment;

a storage unit storing an item defined for calculating a score for worker driving of the construction equipment and an equation for calculating the score for the item, and storing a guide phrase for each item and information on equipment setting change for each item;

a control unit calculating the score for each item according to the information provided from the information acquisition unit and the equation, and selecting an item which needs to be improved based on the calculated score for each item; and

a display unit displaying a guide phrase matching an item selected according to an instruction of the control unit and information on equipment setting change matching the selected item at a predetermined time,

wherein

the control unit is capable of changing equipment setting of the selected items

the defined item includes a large category item and a small category item, the storage unit further includes a determination condition of each small category item and a calculation equation for each of the small category items, and

each calculation equation is based on a number of occurrence times and a maintenance time for the small category item for a unit time while driving the construction equipment.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an input unit receiving a user approval for the equipment setting change,

wherein the control unit changes the equipment setting of the selected item when the user approval is input through the input unit.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time includes at least any one time of a start-on time or a start-off time.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the large category item is classified into and includes driving efficiency of the construction equipment, fuel efficiency performance, and equipment durability.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit preferentially selects an item having a lower score among items having a score equal to or less than a predetermined reference score with respect to the small category item.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit calculates a comprehensive score based on data acquired from the start-on time to the start-off time of the construction equipment.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit averages the score calculated for each small category item included in the large category item and sets the averaged score as an evaluation score of the large category item,

and a weight is applied to the evaluation score of each large category item, which is averaged to calculate the comprehensive score.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the defined item includes driving efficiency of the construction equipment, fuel efficiency performance, and equipment durability, and

the control unit calculates a comprehensive score by applying a weight to an evaluation score of each large category item, and a higher weight is assigned in the order of the driving efficiency, the fuel efficiency performance, and the equipment durability.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when there is a plurality of items in which the equipment setting change is displayed, the control unit enables an approval of a worker to be inputted for each item.

10. An information providing method of an apparatus for providing drive guide information of a construction equipment, the information providing method comprising:

acquiring information generated according to a motion of the construction equipment;

calculating a score for each item based on a defined item, an equation for calculating the score for the item, and the acquired information;

selecting an item which needs to be improved based on the score for each item;

displaying a guide phrase matching the selected item and information on equipment setting change matching the selected item at a predetermined time; and

changing equipment setting of the selected item wherein the defined item includes a large category item and a small category item, and

a determination condition of each small category item and a calculation equation for each small category item are prestored, and each calculation equation is based on a number of occurrence times and a maintenance time for the small category item for a unit time while driving the construction equipment.

11. The information providing method of claim 10 , further comprising: between the displaying of the information on the equipment setting change at the predetermined time and the changing of the equipment setting of the selected item, providing an interface for receiving a user approval for the equipment setting change.

12. The information providing method of claim 11 , wherein the interface enables an approval of a worker to be inputted for each item in which the equipment setting change is displayed.

13. The information providing method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time includes at least any one time of a start-on time or a start-off time.

14. The information providing method of claim 10 , wherein the defined item includes driving efficiency of the construction equipment, fuel efficiency performance, and equipment durability, and the control unit calculates a comprehensive score by applying a weight to an evaluation score of each large category item, and a higher weight is assigned in the order of the driving efficiency, the fuel efficiency performance, and the equipment durability.
