Abstract

A display system of a work machine includes a storage that stores time-series work machine motion information including motion information of the work machine, a motion image generator that generates a motion image of the work machine based on the work machine motion information, and a display that shows the motion image.

Claims (49)

1. A display system of a work machine including a display, a processor, a memory, and a storage, the processor executing a program stored in the memory to perform the method comprising:

storing, in the storage, time-series work machine motion information including motion information of the work machine;

generating a motion image of the work machine based on the work machine motion information, wherein the motion information of the work machine includes a working state of an operation member of the work machine;

displaying on the display that shows the motion image;

selecting a time for playing the motion image on the display, the time stored in association with the work machine motion, and

generating the motion image of the work machine based on the work machine motion information, in accordance with the selected time, wherein the motion image includes an image and one or both of a graph and a heat map based on the working state of the operation member of the work machine, the one or both of the graph and the heat map depicting performance on the operation member of the work machine over the selected time.

2. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage is provided in any one of the work machine and an external device independent of the work machine.

3. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executing the program stored in the memory to perform the method further comprising:

determining whether an event has occurred based on the work machine motion information; and

storing, in the storage and in association with the work machine motion information, the determined event.

4. The display system of the work machine according to claim 3 , wherein the processor executing the program stored in the memory to perform the method further comprising:

selecting a time for playing the work machine motion information in accordance with the event that has occurred.

5. The display system of the work machine according to claim 4 , wherein the processor executing the program stored in the memory to perform the method further comprising:

displaying, on the display, the event that has occurred; and

selecting the time for playing the work machine motion information in accordance with an input command for the event that has occurred.

6. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein selecting the time for playing the motion image on the display is based on an input command.

7. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor and the memory are provided in any one of the work machine and an external device independent of the work machine.

8. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the display is provided in any one of the work machine and an external device independent of the work machine.

9. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the work machine includes a work implement and a machine main body, and

the motion information of the work machine includes motion information of at least one of the work implement and the machine main body.

10. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the work machine includes a work implement and a machine main body, and

the motion information of the work machine includes operation information of at least one of the work implement and the machine main body.

11. The display system of the work machine according to claim 10 , wherein

the generated motion image shows change over time in operations of the work machine based on the operation information.

12. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the motion information of the work machine includes position information of the work machine.

13. The display system of the work machine according to claim 12 , wherein

the generated motion image of the work machine shows a position of works by the work machine on a map based on the position information.

14. The display system of the work machine according to claim 13 , wherein the processor executing the program stored in the memory to perform the method further comprising:

selecting a time for playing the work machine motion information corresponding to an input command indicating the position information of the work machine.

15. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the work machine motion information further includes identification information.

16. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the work machine is a wheel loader.

17. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the motion image is generated showing a motion state of the work machine and an operation state corresponding to the motion state based on the work machine motion information.

18. The display system of the work machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the motion information includes inclination information of the machine main body and the motion image includes an inclined state image.

19. A method of controlling a display system of a work machine comprising:

storing time-series work machine motion information including motion information of the work machine;

generating a motion image of the work machine based on the work machine motion information, wherein the motion information of the work machine includes a working state of an operation member of the work machine;

showing the motion image;

selecting a time for playing the motion image, the time stored in association with the work machine motion, and

generating the motion image of the work machine based on the work machine motion information, in accordance with the selected time, wherein the motion image includes an image and one or both of a graph and a heat map based on the working state of the operation member of the work machine, the one or both of the graph and the heat map depicting performance on the operation member of the work machine over the selected time.
