Abstract
A user interface for fleet management includes a first user interface zone and a second user interface zone, which are can be presented to the user simultaneously on the same first user interface. On the first user interface is presented, in response to a selection made by the user, simultaneously at least two parallel first selection elements, and from the selected at least one first selection element, at least one selectable first selection element related thereto and included in the next higher or lower hierarchical level. The second user interface zone is arranged to present information which is based on selections made by the user via the first user interface zone.
Claims25
A method of fleet management for a fleet having at least two working machines, the method comprising:
- presenting for a user on a first user interface simultaneously a first user interface zone and a second user interface zone;
- arranging the first user interface zone to display a hierarchical, graphic menu having at least two mutually parallel first selection elements and at least two mutually hierarchical first selection elements;
- displaying on the first user interface, in response to a selection made by the user, simultaneously at least two parallel first selection elements, and at least one selectable first selection element related to at least one selection element selected by the user and belonging to the next higher or lower hierarchical level compared to the selected selection element;
- and
- arranging the second user interface zone to display information based on selections made by the user via the first user interface zone.
A user interface for managing a fleet, having at least two working machines, said user interface being a first user interface and comprising:
- a plurality of first selection elements which a user can select by affecting at least one of said first selection elements;
- a first user interface zone and a second user interface zone, said first user interface zone and second user interface zone being presented to a user simultaneously on a same first user interface;
- the first user interface zone being configured and arranged to present a hierarchical, graphic menu having at least two mutually parallel first selection elements and at least two mutually hierarchical first selection elements;
- the first user interface being configured to display, in response to a selection made by a user, simultaneously at least two parallel first selection elements, and from the selected at least one selection element, at least one selectable selection element related thereto and included in the next higher or lower hierarchical level;
- and
- the second user interface zone being configured and arranged to present information which is based on selections made by the user via the first user interface zone.
An arrangement for managing a fleet, having at least two working machines, the arrangement comprising:
- a first memory for storing information related to a first user interface and to objects represented by first selection elements and second selection elements;
- processing means for executing presenting for a user on a first user interface simultaneously a first user interface zone and a second user interface zone;
- arranging the first user interface zone to display a hierarchical, graphic menu having at least two mutually parallel first selection elements and at least two mutually hierarchical first selection elements;
- displaying on the first user interface, in response to a selection made by the user, simultaneously at least two parallel first selection elements, and at least one selectable first selection element related to at least one selection element selected by the user and belonging to the next higher or lower hierarchical level compared to the selected selection element;
- arranging the second user interface zone to display information based on selections made by the user via the first user interface zone;
- and
- a user interface.
