  • Patent number: 12354514
    Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a display of a device are described herein. The display is configured to adjust the hue of the display depending on the ambient light conditions around the display. To assist a user of the device in determining a priority condition of the device, the device is configured to use color contrasts to focus the attention of the user to one or more icons on the display, thus prioritizing icons relative to other, lower priority icons associated with other conditions of the device. Additionally, the contrast used can be adjusted by the user to potentially account for varying degrees of color blindness. The display can be set to one or more test contrasts, whereby a user selects the contrast that works the best for the user.

  • Patent number: 11238833
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) of a display screen connected to a machine and, more particularly, to GUIs of one or more display screens that have a relative coordinate system to display parameter information from one or more connected machines.
