Patent ID: 7513070

Claim:
A work support and management system for a working machine, which supports and manages work carried out by a working machine, said system comprising: first storage means used for arithmetic operations and storing the state of a working region where said working machine carries out work; second storage means dedicated for display only and storing the state of said working region for display prepared by using the state of the working region stored in said first storage means; third storage means for storing the relationship between the state of said working region stored in said second storage means and a discriminative display method; display means for displaying the state of said working region, wherein said display means includes first processing means for obtaining discriminative display data by referring to the relationship stored in said third storage means on the basis of the state of said working region stored in said second storage means, and for displaying the state of said working region in a discriminative manner, and second processing means for obtaining work data based on data stored in said first storage means and displaying the obtained work data; wherein said working region is represented in units of mesh indicating a plane of a predetermined size, and said second storage means stores the state of said working region per mesh; wherein said first processing means obtains the discriminative display data by referring to the relationship stored in said third storage means on the basis of the state of said working region stored in said second storage means per mesh, and displays the state of said working region per mesh in a discriminative manner; wherein said second storage means stores the discriminative display method in color-coded representation; and wherein said first processing means displays the state of said working region in a color-coded manner.
