Fig. 1A is a schematic diagram of a forklift 100 with an auxiliary operating system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1A, the forklift 100 includes an operator cabin 102 and a forklift arm 104. The truck 100 also includes an auxiliary operating system including a camera 106 mounted at the end of the truck arm 104 and electronics 108 mounted within the operator's compartment 102, for example, or generally used within the compartment by an operator. The camera 106 may capture images in front of the distal end of the forklift arm and the electronic device 108 may display the images captured by the camera 106 in real time.
An operator may better operate the forklift arm to work based on images/pictures in front of the distal end of the forklift arm 104 that are displayed in real time by the electronic device, reducing the risk of damaging the object being forked.
The camera 106 may be any camera device that can be used to take a photograph and is suitable for mounting at the end of the forklift arm 104. The camera 106 may be equipped with a WiFi or bluetooth module, for example, for wireless connection with an electronic device.
The number of the forklift arms on the forklift can be one or more, and each forklift arm can be provided with a camera. In this embodiment, for convenience of description, a forklift having two side-by-side forklift arms and one camera mounted on each forklift arm will be described as an example. Fig. 1B shows a schematic view of cameras 106 1 and 106 2 mounted on the left and right forklift arms of a forklift.
In some embodiments, the electronic device 108 may be a fork-lift truck-internal integrated electronic device. In other embodiments, the electronic device 108 may be an electronic device mounted in place within a forklift operator's compartment. The electronic device 108 may be a stand-alone electronic device or an electronic device that is typically used by an operator within an operator compartment.

Fig. 2A is a schematic diagram of a forklift arm for mounting a camera according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 2A illustrates a forklift arm 104. As shown in fig. 2A, a cavity 202 is provided inside the distal end of the forklift arm 104 for receiving/mounting a camera. The cavity 202 has an opening 201 in the center of the end face of the distal end of the forklift arm 104. The opening 201 is provided in the center of the end face so that the center point of the image photographed by the camera is on the center line of travel of the fork truck arm straight ahead. Here, it is assumed that the cross section of the forklift arm is a uniform rectangle, but in actual cases, the cross section of the forklift arm may not be a uniform rectangle, and those skilled in the art will understand that it is sufficient to make the shooting center of the mounted camera as on the center line of travel of the forklift arm straight ahead as possible. This enables a good operating result to be achieved by a simple structural design.
In fig. 2A, the shape of the opening 201 is shown as a rectangle. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the shape of the opening 201 may also be circular or any other suitable shape.
Fig. 2B is a schematic diagram of another example of mounting a camera on a forklift arm according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2B, the camera 106 may also be mounted on the end face of the forklift arm tip. For example, the camera 106 is mounted on the truck boom tip at the center of the end face of the truck boom tip. The camera 106 may have a protective member (not shown) that does not have an edge beyond the edge of the end face of the truck arm tip to avoid damage to the camera when the truck arm 104 is in operation.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the camera 106 may be mounted/secured within the cavity 202 or on the end face of the distal end of the forklift arm 104 in a variety of ways known in the art, such as with an adhesive layer, screw fastening members, snap-fit structures, and the like. And will not be described in detail herein.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that regardless of the manner in which the camera is mounted and the particular mounting location, the camera's center of capture is as consistent as possible with the center line of travel of the truck arm directly in front.
Fig. 3 illustrates an exemplary flowchart of a method 300 of fork truck assisted operation performed by an electronic device, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 4A-4H illustrate associated graphical user interfaces.
As shown, the method 300 includes step 301: in the display mode, images from the camera are received and displayed in real time.
Fig. 4A shows a graphical user interface in a display mode. When the user enters the display mode, for example, by clicking on "display mode", the screen captured by the camera is displayed in real time on the user interface of the electronic device. And displaying images, which are shot by cameras on the left fork truck arm and the right fork truck arm, in front of the fork truck arms on the picture.
In this mode, the user can determine whether the fork arm is aligned with the insertion opening by means of the displayed image. Since the camera is disposed in the center of the distal end of the fork arm, if the insertion port is in the center in the captured image, it can be determined that the fork arm is aligned with the insertion port.
In practice, the operator typically moves the forklift arm near the insertion opening, but it is not necessarily precisely aligned with the insertion opening. For example, in a captured image, the insertion opening is not located at the center of the screen, but is located at a position above, below, and to the left and right of the screen. At this point, the operator may perform a more accurate forklift arm positioning by clicking on the "positioning mode".
As shown in fig. 3, the method 300 further comprises step 303: receiving a first user input to enter a positioning mode via a user interface on the electronic device, and in response to receiving the first user input to enter the positioning mode: the reference center point and the lock user interface element are displayed on the user interface. Wherein the reference center point is a geometric center point of a display area for display of an image of one camera. The lock user interface element has a lock region center point displayed.
FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary graphical user interface after entering a locate mode. The user may enter the "locate mode" by, for example, clicking on the "locate mode" to enter a first user input via the user interface. After entering the positioning mode, in each of the left and right image display areas for the two cameras, an operable lock user interface element indicated by a rectangular white dotted line box and a lock area center point of the lock user interface element indicated by a white solid line circle are displayed. The lock region center point may be a geometric center point of the lock user interface element. At the same time, a reference center point of the entire image display area is also displayed, which is indicated by a white dotted circle.
The method 300 further comprises step 305: a first user operation input is received via a user interface on the electronic device for a user to operate the lock user interface element. The first user operational input may be moved, enlarged and/or reduced.
FIG. 4C illustrates an exemplary graphical user interface after receiving a first user operation input. The user may drag and lock the user interface element, i.e., the rectangular white dashed box, to move it, and/or zoom the rectangular white dashed box so that the rectangular white dashed box just overlaps the insertion opening, which is sized to just cover the insertion opening. During this operation, the lock area center point of the lock user interface element follows the movement and scaling of the rectangular white dashed box, always being in the center of the lock user interface element.
As shown, the white solid circle (lock area center point) does not coincide (or align/match) with the white dashed circle (reference center point), i.e., at this point the fork truck arm is not precisely aligned with the insertion port.
The method 300 further comprises step 307: and receiving a second user operation input for operating the locking user interface element by a user through a user interface on the electronic equipment, wherein the second user operation input is used for locking the image content covered by the locking user interface element, and after the second user operation input is received, when the image content of the displayed camera is changed, the locking user interface element moves along with the locked image content.
In some embodiments, a user may lock image content, such as an insertion port image, encompassed by the lock user interface element, for example, by double clicking or otherwise manipulating the lock user interface element. This means that when the operator then moves (e.g. moves to the right) the fork arm causing the image of the slot to move correspondingly (e.g. also to the right) in the screen, the lock user interface element (e.g. rectangular white dashed box) locking the slot image will move with it and the centre point (e.g. white solid circle) of the lock area in the lock user interface element will move simultaneously. This intuitively prompts the operator if his or her operation on the forklift arm is further aligned with the insertion opening.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the user's confirmation of the lock user interface element is not limited to a double click, and that a long press of the lock user interface element may, for example, cause the user interface to display a prompt of whether or not to lock, and the confirmation may be performed by selecting for that prompt. In other embodiments, the confirmation operation may be performed by pressing for longer than, for example, 3 seconds.
The method 300 further comprises step 309: a third user input is received via a user interface on the electronic device to complete the positioning, and in response to receiving the third user input, a state of the lock user interface element is changed to indicate that the positioning is complete.
When the operator moves the forklift arm, the screen shot by the camera is updated in real time, and the position of the insertion opening in the screen displayed on the electronic device is also moved, and accordingly, the lock user interface element (for example, a rectangular white dotted frame) moves along with the movement of the image of the insertion opening. When the lock user interface element is moved to a position such that the lock region center point (e.g., a white solid circle) coincides with the reference center point (e.g., a white dashed circle). It will be appreciated that at this point the fork arms are accurately aligned with the insertion opening. Fig. 4D shows the graphical user interface at this time. As shown, the white solid line circle coincides with the white dotted line circle.
In some embodiments, a prompt may also be displayed on the user interface at this time to alert the operator that the forklift arm has been properly aligned with the insertion opening.
The operator may then enter a third user input via a user interface on the electronic device to complete the positioning, for example by clicking the "positioning mode" again. In response to receiving the third user input, the electronic device may change a state of the lock user interface element to indicate that positioning is complete. Fig. 4E shows an exemplary graphical user interface at this point. As shown in fig. 4E, the rectangular frame indicated by the broken line is changed to the rectangular frame indicated by the solid line. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are many implementations of changing the state of the lock user interface element so long as the change in state can be embodied to alert the operator that positioning is complete. For example, the rectangular frame indicated by the broken line may be changed to a rectangular frame indicated by the broken line. The change in color of the rectangular box can also be used to indicate that positioning is complete.
The method 300 further comprises step 311: receiving a fourth user input entering an auxiliary mode via a user interface on the electronic device; in response to receiving the fourth user input, entering an assist mode, wherein in the assist mode, if a lock region center point of the lock user interface element is mismatched from the reference center point, a state of the lock user interface element is changed to indicate the mismatch, such that repositioning is required, for example.
After the positioning is completed, the operator can operate the fork arm to insert the insertion slot. At this time, the operator may enter the assist mode by clicking the "assist mode", for example. During the operator's operation of the fork truck arm to insert the insertion slot, the screen captured by the camera is still updated in real time, the lock user interface element (e.g., rectangular solid white line box) moves following the movement of the image of the insertion slot, and when the lock user interface element moves to a position such that the lock area center point (e.g., solid white line circle) deviates from the reference center point (e.g., solid white line circle) due to an undesirable operation, the deviation is indicated by changing the rectangular solid white line box to a rectangular solid white line box dashed line box, as shown in fig. 4F, for example. In some embodiments, a prompt may also be displayed on the user interface to alert the operator that the forklift arm has deviated from the insertion opening.
In some embodiments, the secondary operations application may also provide functionality for the user to select which wireless connection is used to connect the electronic device to the camera. For example, as shown in fig. 4G and 4H, a "connect" button is provided on the user interface along with icons representing WiFi connections (fig. 4G) or bluetooth connections (fig. 4H). The operator may select the corresponding wireless connection mode by clicking "connect" in the graphical user interface representing the corresponding connection mode.
