Abstract

A display system of a working machine, includes: one or a plurality of cameras that acquires a peripheral state of the working machine; a display control unit that generates a temporally changing image and outputs, as a video signal, an image obtained by performing a predetermined process on an image or images captured by the one or the plurality of cameras; a monitor that displays, on a basis of the video signal output from the display control unit, the temporally changing image and the image obtained by performing the predetermined process; and an abnormality determination unit that determines that an abnormality has occurred in the display control unit in a case where the temporally changing image remains unchanged for a predetermined time.

First claim

1 . A display system of a working machine, comprising:
one or a plurality of cameras that acquires a peripheral state of the working machine; a display control unit that generates a temporally changing image and outputs, as a video signal, an image obtained by performing a predetermined process on an image or images captured by the one or the plurality of cameras; a monitor that displays, on a basis of the video signal output from the display control unit, the temporally changing image and the image obtained by performing the predetermined process; and an abnormality determination unit that determines that an abnormality has occurred in the display control unit in a case where the temporally changing image remains unchanged for a predetermined time.

2 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the display control unit and the abnormality determination unit are provided in respective controllers different from each other.

3 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the image obtained by performing the predetermined process by the display control unit is a single camera image and/or a bird's eye image.

4 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the abnormality determination unit issues information when the abnormality determination unit determines that the abnormality has occurred in the display control unit.

5 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 4 , wherein the information is to display a message or an icon on the monitor indicating that the abnormality has occurred in the display control unit.

6 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the temporally changing image generated by the display control unit is provided in an outer frame of a single camera image position icon.

7 . The display system of a working machine according to any claim 1 , wherein the temporally changing image generated by the display control unit is provided in a display area of the single camera image or the bird's eye image or in a peripheral area of the display area.

8 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the temporally changing image generated by the display control unit is provided in any part of a combined video display area generated by the display control unit.

9 . The display system of a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where there are a plurality of images obtained by performing the predetermined process by the display control unit, the temporally changing image is provided for each of the plurality of images, and the abnormality determination unit determines abnormality in each of the images.

10 . A display method of a working machine, the working machine comprising:
one or a plurality of cameras that acquires a peripheral state of the working machine; and a monitor that displays predetermined information, the method comprising: a display control step of generating a temporally changing image and outputting, as a video signal, an image obtained by performing predetermined process on an image or images captured by the one or the plurality of cameras; a step of displaying, on the basis of the video signal output in the display control step, the temporally changing image and the image obtained by performing the predetermined process; and an abnormality determination step of determining that an abnormality has occurred in a case where the temporally changing image remains unchanged for a predetermined time.
