Excerpt
Excerpt [0017] The controller 20 is responsive to input signal requests generated upon actuation of the input device 22 to control which application group is selected among the application groups A and B and to control which application of the selected application group is in focus on the display screen 18. ..........
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
Software in the form of operating instructions may be stored on a computer-readable medium for use with a work vehicle. The operating instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to control display of various applications on a display screen of the work vehicle. More particularly, the operating instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to switch which application is in focus on the display screen of the work vehicle between applications of a selected application group of multiple application groups stored in a memory of the work vehicle according to a predetermined switching order in response to actuation of an input device, each application group comprising multiple applications, and switch which application group is the selected application group between application groups of the multiple application groups stored in the memory of the work vehicle in response to actuation of the input device.
By dividing the applications into different application groups, related applications can be grouped into logical, user-friendly categories. Moreover, such categories and applications thereof can be differentiated and selected by the operator upon operation of the input device (e.g., a button on a joystick at the operator's station) in predetermined manners, thereby providing ready access and management of information to the operator of the work vehicle. An associated method is disclosed.
[0014] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a work vehicle 10 has a software application display management system 12 for managing display of multiple software applications onboard the vehicle 10.......
[0015] Referring to FIG. 2, the software application display management system 12 is responsible for managing display of various software applications on a display screen 18 located at the operator's station 14. The system 12 has a controller 20 coupled to an input device 22 and the display screen 18. The controller 20 has a processor 23 and a memory 24 coupled to the processor 23. Stored in the memory 24 are operating instructions 25 for controlling operation of the processor 23 and multiple application groups such as application group A and application group B. Of course, there may be more than just two groups of applications; but, by way of example in the description below, it is assumed that there are two groups.
Each application group A and B includes multiple software applications. For example, application group A has applications A1 to Am and application group B has applications B1 to Bm........
