  • Patent number: 9704302
    Abstract: Operation of self-propelled mining equipment in the field can be accurately recognized at a remote position of the equipment. A management center for controlling a dump truck receives signal from sensors in order to show detection data for the working status of the operation instruments and warning indication data based upon the detection data. The warning indication data and the detection data for the working status of the operation instruments are displayed on the same display. Alternatively, in place of the detection data for working status of the operation instruments, related information from a data base concerning the record of maintenance previously conducted may be displayed, or a graph of the detection data for the working status of an operation instrument of another dump truck which is operating in the same working field may be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20150262091
    Abstract: Travel management is adapted to perform of transport vehicle at working areas which are widely different in geographical conditions to ensure operation in a facilitated manner with high efficiency of exhaust gas and at high running efficiency. A signal processor (32) of a management center (30) is processed signals transmitted from sensors provided in a dump truck (2) to create, then on the basis thereof a display (33) is shown graphs respectively expressed in a form of temporal transition on chronological pattern for load of the dump truck (2), inclination on travelling rout of the dump truck 2 and step-in quantity of an accelerator pedal by the operator, thereby ensuring high efficiency of exhaust gas and at high running efficiency by properly operating the acceleration pedal on the basis of comprehensive judgment taking in consideration of the load weight of the dump truck (2) and travelling rout.

  • Patent number: 7788028
    Abstract: A navigation system includes: a detection unit that detects a vehicle to be in a stationary state or in a traveling state; a display monitor at which a roadmap is displayed; and a manual route specification unit that allows a road traced on the display monitor to be specified as a route when the vehicle is detected to be in a stationary state by the detection unit and does not allow the road traced on the display monitor to be specified as the route when the vehicle is detected to be in a traveling state by the detection unit.

  • Patent number: 7577518
    Abstract: A navigation system includes: a roadmap display unit that displays a roadmap at a display monitor; a current position detection unit that detects a current position of the navigation system; a setting unit that sets a right turn instruction or a left turn instruction for an intersection displayed in the roadmap; and a guidance unit that provides guidance based upon the right turn instruction or the left turn instruction having been set, as the detected current position moves to a point at or within a predetermined distance to the intersection having been set via the setting unit.

  • Publication number: 20090100377
    Abstract: It is possible to provide a service which can be easily customized in accordance with a user's preference. A method for providing information by a data processing device is applied to a data processing device which can acquire information from other information providing site via a network. In the state of display as a menu icon in a menu region on a desktop, no operation of menu is performed. In the state when the menu icon is dragged from the menu region to the desktop, it is possible to obtain operation of the menu as a Widget icon which displays the information acquired via the network.

  • Patent number: 7512483
    Abstract: According to the 1st aspect of the invention, a navigation system comprises: a storage unit that stores map data managed with links representing smallest road units; a road map display unit that displays a road map based upon the map data; a depressed position detection unit that detects a depressed position on the road map on display; and a route setting unit that extracts a corresponding link corresponding to the depressed position and sets the extracted corresponding link as a route to a destination based upon the map data, and the route setting unit extracts a link adjacent to the corresponding link and makes a decision as to whether or not the adjacent link can be entered from the corresponding link based upon the map data.

  • Publication number: 20080178118
    Abstract: A navigation device includes: a display device; a control device that controls the display device so as to display a plurality of indexes to be selected in order to operate predetermined functions; and an instruction device with which a user gives an instruction to select among the plurality of indexes that are displayed. And the control device displays the plurality of indexes so that the plurality of indexes are arranged in two columns in a vertical direction, indexes that are arranged in one of the two columns and indexes that are arranged in the other of the two columns are mutually displaced in a vertical direction, and the indexes that are arranged in at least the one of the two columns have shapes that project towards the other of the two columns of indexes.
