## Abstract

A display system includes a display and a controller. The controller causes the display to display a third figure representing a relative relationship between a first figure indicating a direction of a working implement of a working machine and a second figure indicating a direction of a target topography from the working machine.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A display system comprising:
a display; and
a controller that causes the display to display a third figure representing a relative relationship between a first figure and a second figure, the first figure indicating a direction of a working implement of a working machine, and the second figure indicating a direction from the working machine to a target topography and moving along an annular figure when the direction from the working machine to the target topography changes due to traveling of the working machine.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, wherein the controller causes the display to display the third figure along the annular figure.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The display system according to claim 2, wherein the controller causes the display to display an image indicating the working machine together with the third figure.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The display system according to claim 3, wherein the image indicating the working machine is displayed at a central portion of the annular figure.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The display system according to claim 4, wherein the controller causes the display to display the annular FIG. so as to surround a periphery of the image of the working machine.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The display system according to claim 5, wherein the controller displays an image representing an orientation along the annular FIG. on the display.

### Claim 7 (depends on 3)

The display system according to claim 3, wherein the controller causes the display to display a first straight line connecting the first figure and the image indicating the working machine and a second straight line connecting the second figure and the image indicating the working machine.

### Claim 8 (depends on 3)

The display system according to claim 3, wherein the controller further displays, on the display, an image representing a construction topography including a target topography, together with the third figure and the image indicating the working machine.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The display system according to claim 8, wherein the controller displays, on the display, an image representing the target topography and an image representing a construction topography that is not selected in the construction topographies, in different modes.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, wherein the controller displays, on the display, at least one of the first figure and the second figure together with the third figure.

### Claim 11 (depends on 4)

The display system according to claim 4, wherein the controller displays the third figure and the image indicating the working machine in top view.

### Claim 12 (depends on 4)

The display system according to claim 4, wherein the controller displays the third figure and the image indicating the working machine in a bird's eye view.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The display system according to claim 1, wherein the working machine is an excavator,
the working implement includes a bucket, and
the direction of the working implement is a direction from a main body of the excavator to the bucket.

### Claim 14

A display system comprising:
a display; and
a controller that causes the display to display a third figure along an annular FIG., the third figure representing a relative relationship between a first figure indicating a direction of a work implement of a working machine and a second figure indicating a direction from the working machine to a target terrain,
wherein the controller further causes the display to display, together with the third figure, an image indicating the working machine, a straight line extended from a working implement of the working machine, a first straight line connecting the first figure and the image indicating the working machine, and second straight line connecting the second FIG. and the image indicating the working machine.

### Claim 15

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a processor of a controller to execute:
generating a first figure indicating a direction of a working implement of a working machine;
generating a second figure indicating a direction from the working machine to a target topography and moving along an annular FIG. when the direction from the working machine to the target topography changes due to traveling of the working machine;
generating a third figure representing a relative relationship between the first figure and the second figure; and
causing a display to display at least the second figure and third figure from among the first figure, the second figure, and the third figure.

### Claim 16

A display control method comprising:
generating a first figure indicating a direction of a working implement of a working machine;
generating a second figure indicating a direction from the working machine to a target topography and moving along an annular FIG. when the direction from the working machine to the target topography changes due to traveling of the working machine;
generating a third figure representing a relative relationship between the first figure and the second figure; and
displaying at least the second figure and third figure from among the first figure, the second figure, and the third figure on a display.
