Method for displaying graphical data on an electronic display
An electronic data processor is configured to determine the display mode based on user input comprising user-inputted control states, user-inputted actuator states and machine-provided sensor states provided by reading a vehicle data bus or sensor data communication. In a first mode, the electronic data processor is configured to populate the tell-tale container of a first size with primary priority icons and secondary priority icons. In the second mode, the electronic data processor is configured to populate the critical ribbon container of a second size solely with primary priority icons, where the first size is greater than the second size by a first size difference, and populating an app container in the second residual container with an application. Further, the electronic data processor is configured to display the populated tell-tale container in the first mode in conjunction with the first residual container or the populated critical ribbon in the second mode in conjunction with the second residual container responsive based on the determination of the display mode, wherein the first residual container is resized into the second residual container of greater size than the first residual information.
1 . A computer implemented method to improve the display of graphical data on an electronic display, the method comprising:
establishing a layout on the electronic display in which to position a tell-tale container in a first mode along with a first residual container, a critical ribbon along with a second residual container in a second mode;
determining the display mode, among the first mode and second mode, based on user input comprising user-inputted control states, user-inputted actuator states and machine-provided sensor states provided by reading a vehicle data bus or sensor data communication;
in the first mode populating the tell-tale container of a first size with primary priority icons and secondary priority icons;
in the second mode populating the critical ribbon container of a second size solely with primary priority icons, where the first size is greater than the second size by a first size difference, and populating an app container in the second residual container with an application;
displaying the populated tell-tale container in the first mode in conjunction with the first residual container or the populated critical ribbon in the second mode in conjunction with the second residual container responsive based on the determination of the display mode, wherein the first residual container is resized into the second residual container of greater size than the first residual information; and
in the second mode, populating the second residual container with a paired group of related applications based on related machine functions that are factory-defined, such that the paired group of related applications are displayed simultaneously in the second residual container of the second mode.
2 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the paired group of related applications comprises the motor grader control app module and an outside-facing camera app module.
3 . The method according to claim 1 wherein the paired group of related applications comprise the hitch app control module and hydraulic control value app module.
4 . A computer implemented method to improve the display of graphical data on an electronic display, the method comprising:
establishing a layout on the electronic display in which to position a tell-tale container in a first mode along with a first residual container, a critical ribbon along with a second residual container in a second mode;
determining the display mode, among the first mode and second mode, based on user input comprising user-inputted control states, user-inputted actuator states and machine-provided sensor states provided by reading a vehicle data bus or sensor data communication;
in the first mode populating the tell-tale container of a first size with primary priority icons and secondary priority icons;
in the second mode populating the critical ribbon container of a second size solely with primary priority icons, where the first size is greater than the second size by a first size difference, and populating an app container in the second residual container with an application;
displaying the populated tell-tale container in the first mode in conjunction with the first residual container or the populated critical ribbon in the second mode in conjunction with the second residual container responsive based on the determination of the display mode, wherein the first residual container is resized into the second residual container of greater size than the first residual information; and
in the second mode, populating the second residual container with a paired group of related applications based on related machine functions that are factory-defined, such that initial one of the paired group of related applications is displayed simultaneously with a shortcut icon to other one of the paired group of related applications in the second residual container of the second mode, wherein the shortcut icon can be selected, activated or triggered to instantly switch to the other one of the paired group of related applications in the second residual container that is active on the display while the initial one is hidden on the display.
5 . The method according to claim 4 wherein the paired group of related applications comprises the motor grader control app module and an outside-facing camera app module.
6 . The method according to claim 4 wherein the paired group of related applications comprise the hitch app control module and hydraulic control value app module.
