Abstract
A method for guiding an operator of a mobile working machine (or a device coupled to the machine) to a position to be located for fault-remedying, defect-eliminating or maintenance work, by determining data in respect of the position that is to be located on the working machine (or the device coupled to the machine) using a diagnosis system, transmitting the data to a portable device in respect of the position that is to be located, and outputting direction instructions to the position based on the data, by virtue of the portable device in order to guide the portable device to the position that is to be located.
Claims10
A method for guiding an operator to a position on a mobile working machine or a device which is coupled to said mobile working machine, which position is to be located for fault-remedying, defect-eliminating or maintenance work, comprising the following steps:
- ascertaining data in respect of the position that is to be located on the working machine or on the device which is coupled to said working machine using a diagnosis system,
- transmitting the data in respect of the position that is to be located to a portable device, and
- outputting direction instructions, which are based on the data, by virtue of the portable device for the purpose of guiding the portable device to the position that is to be located.
A portable device for assisting in finding a position on a working machine or a device which is coupled to said working machine, which position is to be located for fault-remedying, defect-eliminating or maintenance work, wherein the working machine is equipped with a diagnosis system which is programmed to calculate the position that is to be located on the working machine or on a device which is coupled to said working machine, and a digital microprocessor of the portable device is programmed to receive data in respect of the position that is to be located and, on the basis of said data, to output direction instructions for the purpose of guiding the portable device to the position that is to be located.
