Operator assistance system
First Claim
1. A system for assisting an operator to maneuver a machine on a worksite, the system comprising:
- a position detection module configured to generate a signal indicative of an actual position and an actual orientation of the machine;
a display unit; and
a controller communicably coupled to the position detection module and the display unit, the controller configured to;
receive the signal, indicative of the actual position and the actual orientation of the machine;
determine a first view of the machine on the worksite, the first view showing the actual position of the machine and a target position of the machine, the target position being located on a bucket circle;
determine a second view of the machine on the worksite, the second view having a first and a second indicator, wherein the first indicator is indicative of the actual position and the actual orientation of the machine and the second indicator is indicative of the target position and a target orientation of the machine and includes at least a portion of a target circle; and
display any one of the first view and the second view based, at least in part, on the actual position of the machine relative to the target position.

Abstract
A system having a controller is provided. The controller receives a signal indicative of an actual position and an actual orientation of a machine on a worksite, from a position detection module. The controller determines a first view of the machine on the worksite. The first view shows the actual position of the machine and a target position of the machine. The target position is located on a bucket circle. The controller determines a second view of the machine on the worksite. The second view has a first and a second indicator. The first indicator is indicative of the actual position and the actual orientation of the machine. The second indicator is indicative of the target position and a target orientation of the machine and includes a target circle. The controller displays any one of the first view and the second view based, at least in part, on the actual position of the machine relative to the target position on a display unit.
