Description

A system and method for displaying a status}

The present invention relates to a status indication system and method.

A ship is a means of navigating the sea and transporting various cargoes. The cargo transported by the ship is crude oil, liquefied gas, container, vehicle, grain, etc., and the type of ship is classified according to the cargo transported.

However, most ships use propulsion using propellers. The propeller has a plurality of blades and rotates in engagement with the shaft connected to the engine, and it obtains propulsion by using the reaction of the wake generated during rotation.

An engine is provided at the stern of the ship for the rotation of the propeller. At this time, the engine consumes fuel as an internal combustion engine to generate rotational force, and the fuel consumed by the engine may be various such as diesel oil and liquefied gas.

In the process of a vessel sailing, a crew member such as a captain or a navigator who controls the navigation of the vessel needs to monitor the condition of the vessel. At this time, the monitored vessel status can be innumerable, such as speed, draft, sailing direction, ballasting status, trim status, cargo loading status, exhaust status, engine speed, power consumption, power generation power, fuel consumption, remaining fuel, etc. have.

Factors indicating the state of the ship, the value of which is output to a monitor provided in the deck house, or output to a monitor provided in a space where a configuration corresponding to each factor is located, can be confirmed by the crew.

After checking the values of the factors and examining whether they are in an appropriate state, the crew can access the configuration that can change the factors in the ship and perform tasks such as controlling the configuration.

However, there may be tens of factors that the crew member should check, and in the conventional case, it is common that factors are individually displayed on the screen of a monitor without any special correlation.

In this case, in order for a seafarer to find and confirm a factor related to a specific factor, if the screen on which the specific factor is displayed and the screen on which the factor related to the factor is displayed are different, it is inconvenient to have to switch the screen.

2 is a flowchart of a method for displaying a status according to an embodiment of the present invention.
3 to 5 are diagrams illustrating a screen on which factors are displayed by the status display system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The objects, specific advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description and preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the present specification, in adding reference numbers to the components of each drawing, it should be noted that only the same components are given the same number as possible even though they are indicated on different drawings. In addition, in describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known technology may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is a block diagram of a status display system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 to 5 are diagrams showing a screen on which factors are displayed by the status display system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 3 to 5 , the status display system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit 10 , a relevance adjustment unit 20 , a display unit 30 , and an input unit 40 . includes

The storage unit 10 stores a plurality of factors indicating the state of the vessel. In this case, the factors may be ship speed, draft, navigation direction, ballasting state, trim state, cargo loading state, exhaust state, engine speed, power consumption, power generation, fuel consumption, and residual fuel, etc. It may be any variable that should be identified to the seafarer while indicating.

The storage unit 10 may receive and store values of a plurality of factors from a measuring device (not shown) for each factor. That is, the storage unit 10 may be configured to temporarily store factors in order to display them on the display unit 30 .

Since the values of the factors may continuously change during the course of the vessel's navigation, the storage unit 10 may receive and update the values of the factors from the measurement device in real time or at regular time intervals.

The storage unit 10 may store information about the vessel. The factors described above indicate the state of the vessel, and may be information that can be changed when the vessel operates, whereas the information about the vessel stored by the storage unit 10 may be fixed information.

For example, the information about the ship may be a ship type, cargo, a voyage route, etc., and may be information that is not changed during the voyage of the ship. The storage unit 10 stores the information on the vessel so that a degree of relevance, which will be described later, is matched with the information about the vessel and stored.

This is because, if the correlation is matched with the information on the ship, the convenience of the crew can be increased by displaying the factors by using the correlation map previously stored for the same ship with information such as the type of ship in the future. This will be described later.

The relevance adjustment unit 20 adjusts the relevance between factors. The degree of association between factors can be interpreted as the degree to which factors influence each other. For example, since the speed of the ship increases when a lot of fuel is used, it can be said that the correlation between the ship speed and the fuel consumption among the factors is high, and on the contrary, the relationship between the draft and the exhaust state is (almost) low because they do not have an effect on each other.

In order to adjust the degree of relevance, the relevance adjustment unit 20 may first set a basic degree of relevance between factors. If there is (almost) no influence between the factors, the basic relevance may be set to 0, and the greater the influence, the higher the basic relevance may be set.

The display unit 30 to be described later can connect and display factors based on the degree of relevance by the default degree of relevance set in advance. However, since the degree of relevance can be adjusted by the degree of relevance adjustment unit 20, the display unit 30 The display method of the factors may be changed.

The relevance adjustment unit 20 may adjust the relevance according to the confirmation signal of the input unit 40 . The confirmation signal of the input unit 40 means a confirmation signal input by a crew member or the like to confirm factors.

To be specific, after the sailor inputs a confirmation signal (touch, key input, etc.) to confirm the value for one factor (for example, ship speed), A confirmation signal can be input.

In this case, the relevance adjustment unit 20 may increase the degree of relevance between any one factor and the other factor. That is, if the source checks one factor immediately after checking the other factor, it means that the seafarer has determined that the two factors are highly likely to affect each other, so the relevance adjustment unit 20 determines the degree of correlation between the two factors. can be adjusted upward.

However, the display unit 30, which will be described later, may display factors on the screen 31. After a crew member inputs a confirmation signal to check the screen 31 on which one factor is displayed, another factor is displayed. When a confirmation signal is input to check the screen 31 , the relevance adjustment unit 20 may increase the degree of association between any one factor and the other factor.

That is, if it is assumed that one factor and the other factor are displayed on different screens 31, in order to confirm both the one factor and the other factor that the source considers to influence each other, two different screens The confirmation signal for (31) can be input consecutively.

In this case, the relevance adjusting unit 20 may adjust the relevance by considering the confirmation signal of the sailor as a command for which the relevance of the two factors needs to be adjusted upward. That is, after setting the basic degree of relevance, the crew intervenes to adjust the degree of relevance.

Adjustment of the degree of relevance may vary depending on how the factors are displayed on the display unit 30, and factors are only determined by input of a confirmation signal (touching factors on the screen 31, pressing a key corresponding to the factors, etc.) In the case of showing the value, if the seafarer checks the value by inputting the confirmation signal corresponding to one factor and then immediately inputs the confirmation signal corresponding to the other factor to confirm the value, the correlation between the two factors is determined by the relevance adjustment unit. It can be adjusted upward by (20).

Alternatively, when two factors are to display their values on different screens 31, if the sailor sees the screen 31 on which one factor is displayed and immediately switches to the screen 31 on which the other factor is displayed , since it can be determined that two factors are related in this embodiment, the degree of relevance can be increased.

However, since the operation of such a source may simply be impossible to confirm sequential factors, it goes without saying that the upward adjustment of the degree of association can be made when the input of the same/similar confirmation signal is repeated.

The relevance adjustment unit 20 may continuously check the confirmation signal input by the sailor and update the relevance level. Accordingly, the relevance adjustment unit 20 re-adjusts the relevance in real time or at regular time intervals.

Since the crew must continuously input the confirmation signal during the voyage period of the vessel, the present embodiment can optimize the degree of relevance throughout the voyage period. In this case, since the optimized degree of relevance may appear in different aspects depending on the navigation route of the vessel, the relevance may be stored in the storage unit 10 by matching it with information about the vessel.

For example, the degree of association adjusted during the sailing period of the ship may be stored in the storage unit 10 by matching it with the sailing route of the ship. That is, if the relevance adjusted during the voyage period is matched for each voyage route, for ships operating the same/similar voyage route in the future, the relevance already adjusted by the crew, rather than the basic relevance, is used to display factors. , the convenience of crew members can be maximized.

The navigation route matched with the degree of relevance may be stored in the storage unit 10 and may be transmitted to the outside such as onshore and stored in an external database (not shown) so that it can be used in other ships in the future.

A ship that needs to navigate the same/similar sailing route as the ship whose degree of relevance is adjusted may improve the display method of factors from the start of operation by checking the degree of association matched to the sailing route from the database.

The display unit 30 displays the factors. In the conventional case, the factors have already been displayed with a fixed arrangement, or the arrangement in the screen 31 is manually changed by a crew member.

However, in this embodiment, the display unit 30 may display the factors in association according to the degree of association. That is, in the present embodiment, the display of factors by the display unit 30 is optimized for the convenience of the crew. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 .

Referring to FIG. 3 , factors having a high degree of correlation may be displayed adjacent to each other in one screen 31 . That is, it can be confirmed that the factor A and the factor B in FIG. 3 are factors with a high degree of correlation.

In the case of FIG. 3 , the display of other factors is changed in order to arrange factors having a high degree of relevance close to each other. In this case, the factor displayed in the vicinity of the factor A may be changed to the factor B, and the layout of the screen 31 may be maintained as it is.

On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 4 , factor B, which is determined to have a high degree of relevance to factor A, may be displayed on the screen 31 so that it pops up. At this time, the layout of the screen 31 is maintained, but a pop-up window is added.

Alternatively, in the case of FIG. 5 , a portion in which the factor B is displayed may be added around the portion in which the factor A is displayed. In this case, the layout of the screen 31 may be slightly changed. That is, the layout may be changed in order to secure a free space for displaying the factor B. Of course, if the layout already has a free space, the display portion of the factor B may be added without changing the layout.

Of course, connecting and displaying two or more factors having a high degree of correlation in the screen 31 is not limited to the above method. However, in the present embodiment, after the degree of correlation between factor A and factor B is adjusted upward by the source, any method that facilitates the identification of factor B when the source confirms factor A may be used.

The input unit 40 receives a confirmation signal of factors. The input unit 40 may receive a confirmation signal by touch, key input, or the like. The confirmation signal received by the input unit 40 may be a concept encompassing all input operations for the source to confirm the factor.

That is, when a seafarer performs a certain input operation to confirm any one factor, the corresponding input operation becomes a preliminary command for adjusting the degree of association with any one factor.

Afterwards, if the sailor performs a certain input operation in order to check another factor, the corresponding input operation may be a command for adjusting the association between any one factor and the other factor.

Accordingly, the confirmation signal input by the input unit 40 may be input by a source and may be a command used to adjust the degree of association. In this case, the input unit 40 may be provided in a deck house, etc., in charge of sailing of the vessel, and may be provided in a space in which a measuring device for measuring each factor is located. That is, the number or positions in which the input unit 40 is provided is not particularly limited, and may be provided in each space where the source needs to check the printing.

However, the confirmation signal, which is a command for adjusting the degree of association, may be input differently for each crew member. That is, sailors may think of the degree of relevance of factors differently, and in this case, a conflict may occur in the adjustment of the degree of relevance. Therefore, the input unit 40 may be provided only in the deck house.

2 is a flowchart of a method for displaying a status according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the method for displaying a status according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of storing information about a ship (S10), storing a plurality of factors indicating the status of the ship (S20), and checking the factors Receiving a signal (S30), adjusting the degree of association between the factors (S40), displaying the factors according to the degree of relevance (S50), the degree of relevance of the factors adjusted by the relevance adjusting unit 20 and storing (S60) matching with information about the vessel.

In step S10, information about the vessel is stored. Unlike factors, the information about a ship may be fixed information, and as described above, may be information such as a ship type or a navigation route.

Information about the ship is used to match and store the association adjusted by the association adjustment unit 20 in the future. That is, if the adjusted degree of relevance is matched for each ship type or navigation route, the display method of factors during navigation of a ship can be improved without a confirmation signal input and relevance adjustment procedure.

In step S20, a plurality of factors indicating the state of the vessel are stored. In this case, the factors may include all variables indicating the state of the vessel as already described in the storage unit 10 part.

The factors may be displayed on the display unit 30 after a value is measured from the measuring device and transmitted to the storage unit 10 , and then transmitted from the storage unit 10 to the display unit 30 . Accordingly, the sailor may check whether the vessel is sailing properly based on the factors displayed on the display unit 30 .

In this case, as described above, the display method of the factors displayed on the display unit 30 may vary according to the adjusted degree of association.

In step S30, a confirmation signal of the factors is received. The input of the confirmation signal may be made by a source, and the confirmation signal may mean any input action taken by the source to confirm the factor.

Since the input of the confirmation signal is the same as described for the input unit 40 above, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In step S40, the degree of association between factors is adjusted. The degree of correlation between the factors may be adjusted upward by the input operation of the source. Of course, it may be adjusted downward according to the input operation of the crew.

The successive input of confirmation signals for two different factors may be a case in which the source thinks that the two factors are related. Therefore, the correlation between the two factors is adjusted upward.

Since the confirmation signal can be made consecutively even when the source thinks that the two factors are not related, if the repetition of the same/similar confirmation signal is confirmed, the correlation between the two factors can be adjusted upward.

A detailed description of the adjustment of the degree of association is replaced with the description of the degree of association adjustment unit 20 .

In step S50, the factors are associated and displayed according to the degree of association. As a method of displaying the association, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , there is a method such as implementing without changing the layout, using a pop-up window, or changing the layout, and of course, it is not limited thereto.

Steps S30 and S40 may be repeated. In this case, the degree of association may be continuously adjusted, and the display of factors may also be continuously updated. However, since it may cause inconvenience if layout changes occur frequently, even if it is detected that the association display according to the degree of association has been changed, the association display is implemented every certain period so that the layout is not changed for at least a certain period of time. have.

In step S60, the correlation of factors is matched with information about the vessel and stored. The degree of relevance of the factors may be adjusted through steps S30 and S40, and the adjusted degree of relevance may be different for each ship type or navigation route, which is information about a ship.

At this time, if the correlation is stored in the navigation route, etc., for ships operating the same / similar navigation route in the future, even if the steps S30 and S40 are not performed, a display that guarantees the convenience of the crew can be made.

Therefore, in this step, it is possible to match the relevance of the already-navigated vessel to the vessel type or voyage route of the vessel, store it on land, etc., and allow other vessels to utilize it.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by changing the display method of the factors indicating the state of the ship according to the convenience of the crew, it is possible to improve the working efficiency of the crew and, as a result, to increase the operating efficiency of the vessel.

Although the present invention has been described in detail through specific examples, this is for the purpose of describing the present invention in detail, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and by those of ordinary skill in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be clear that the transformation or improvement is possible.

All simple modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention, and the specific scope of protection of the present invention will be made clear by the appended claims.
