Abstract

An assistance device includes a processor; and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process. The process includes receiving an input from a user through an input device; and determining, in response to the input from the input device, specifications related to a combination of a plurality of movements of a work machine, the plurality of movements being different types from each other, and displaying, on a display device, a first operation screen for generating a trajectory of a work part of the work machine by a combined movement, the combined movement being obtained by combining the plurality of movements.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An assistance device comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process, the process including receiving an input from a user through an input device; and   determining, in response to the input from the input device, specifications related to a combination of a plurality of movements of a work machine, the plurality of movements being different types from each other, and displaying, on a display device, a first operation screen for generating a trajectory of a work part of the work machine by a combined movement, the combined movement being obtained by combining the plurality of movements.   
     
     
         2 . The assistance device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the first operation screen allows the user to perform an operation of determining the specifications through the input device.   
     
     
         3 . The assistance device according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the plurality of movements are movements executed by the work machine using a work attachment in predetermined work.   
     
     
         4 . The assistance device according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the predetermined work is land leveling work, digging work, or slope construction work,   wherein when the predetermined work is the land leveling work, the plurality of movements include at least two of a horizontal-pulling movement, a rolling-compaction movement, a broom-turning movement, a digging movement, and an earth removal movement,   wherein when the predetermined work is the digging work, the plurality of movements include at least two of the digging movement, a boom raising-slewing movement, a boom lowering-slewing movement, the earth removal movement, and the broom-turning movement, and   wherein when the predetermined work is the slope construction work, the plurality of movements include an earth cutting movement and the rolling-compaction movement.   
     
     
         5 . The assistance device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the trajectory of the work part is a trajectory of a predetermined part set in an end attachment at a distal end of a work attachment of the work machine.   
     
     
         6 . The assistance device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the specifications include a distribution of a combination of the plurality of movements in the combined movement.   
     
     
         7 . The assistance device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the process further includes displaying, on the display device, an image representing a shape of a work target around the work machine, and displaying the trajectory generated through the first operation screen so as to be superimposed on the image representing the shape of the work target around the work machine.   
     
     
         8 . The assistance device according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the image representing the shape of the work target is a captured image around the work machine or a processed image of the captured image, or an image of three dimensional data of the work target around the work machine.   
     
     
         9 . The assistance device according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the process further includes displaying, on the display device, a moving image of a simulation of the work machine in which the work part moves along the trajectory generated through the first operation screen, the moving image being superimposed on the image representing the shape of the work target.   
     
     
         10 . The assistance device according to  claim 7 ,
 wherein the process further includes displaying, on the display device, an image representing a shape of the work target predicted after the work part moves along the trajectory generated through the first operation screen.   
     
     
         11 . The assistance device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the process further includes displaying, on the display device, a second operation screen for operating the work machine such that the work part moves along the trajectory generated through the first operation screen, in response to the input from the input device.   
     
     
         12 . The assistance device according to  claim 11 ,
 wherein, on the second operation screen, the user can perform an operation for instructing the work machine to operate such that the work part moves along the trajectory generated through the first operation screen, using the input device.   
     
     
         13 . A work machine comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process, the process including
 receiving an input from a user through an input device, and 
 determining, in response to the input from the input device, specifications related to a combination of a plurality of movements of a work machine, the plurality of movements being different types from each h other, and displaying, on a display device, a first operation screen for generating a trajectory of a work part of the work machine by a combined movement, the combined movement being obtained by combining the plurality of movements. 
   
     
     
         14 . An assistance system comprising:
 a work machine; and   an assistance device capable of communicating with the work machine, wherein the assistance device includes a processor, and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to execute a process, the process including
 receiving an input from a user through an input device, and 
 determining, in response to the input from the input device, specifications related to a combination of a plurality of movements of the work machine, the plurality of movements being different types from each other, and displaying, on a display device, a first operation screen for generating a trajectory of a work part of the work machine by a combined movement, the combined movement being obtained by combining the plurality of movements.
