Adaptive user interface for rock drilling rig

A rock drilling rig comprising a drilling unit for executing a multiphase rock drilling event, a display, an input device for receiving user inputs, and a control unit for controlling information to be displayed on the display, wherein at least part of the display is reserved for information sources to be changed according to a rock drilling situation during a rock drilling event, and a rock drilling phase-specific definition is set in the control apparatus for at least one information source, information relating to at least one information source is to be displayed during said rock drilling phase,

• the control unit is configured to check the rock drilling phase-specific definition in response to an initiation of a rock drilling event or a transition in the rock drilling phase,
• the control unit is configured to select at least one information source suitable for said phase on the basis of said checked definition, and
• the control unit is configured, automatically, on the basis of a change of the working phase, to replace or rearrange at least display information relating to the at least one information source of the previous rock drilling phase with display information relating to the at least one selected information source during execution of the current rock drilling phase in said at least part of the display.

A memory medium embodying a computer program product for controlling at least one data processing device of a control apparatus of a rock drilling rig, wherein the computer program product comprises computer program code that controls, when executed in a processor of the data processing device, a control system to:

• check a rock drilling phase-specific definition in response to an initiation of a rock drilling event or a transition in a rock drilling phase during a rock drilling event, the rock drilling phase-specific definition specifying at least one information source, information relating to which should be displayed in said rock drilling phase,
• select at least one information source suitable for said phase on the basis of said checked definition, and
• display information, automatically, on the basis of a change of the working phase, relating to the at least one selected information source in a section of a display of the control system in the location where information relating to at least one previous information source relating to a previous rock drilling phase was displayed, the section being set for information sources to be changed according to the rock drilling situation, during execution of the rock drilling phase.
