System and method for controlling a cloud-based agricultural database system

An agricultural work machine comprising:

• a driver's cab;
• a terminal in the driver's cab;
• machinery to perform an agricultural activity with the agricultural work machine;
• a communication interface to communicate with a cloud-based agricultural database system, the agricultural database system configured to store one or both of state data or planning data indicative of an agricultural context, wherein the machinery performs the agricultural activity, with the agricultural activity, a user of the agricultural work machine, and an agricultural environment being embedded in the agricultural context;
• and
• at least one control system in communication with the machinery and the communication interface, the at least one control system configured to:
• automatically collect measurement data indicative of performing the agricultural activity in the agricultural context using the agricultural work machine;
• automatically transmit the measurement data to the cloud-based agricultural database system in order for the cloud-based agricultural database system to save the one or both of state data or planning data based on the measurement data that is indicative of the agricultural context in order to generate documentation regarding the agricultural activity;
• receive, from the cloud-based agricultural database system, one or more questions;
• output, on the terminal in the driver's cab while the agricultural work machine performs the agricultural activity, the one or more questions from the cloud-based agricultural database system to the user in order to solicit voice input from the user to supplement the documentation, including one or both of adding or amending to the documentation;
• responsive to the one or more questions output on the terminal, receive one or more voice commands as the voice input to control at least one aspect of the agricultural database system inputting, by the user and while performing the agricultural activity, the voice input via a smartphone resident in the driver's cab;
• and
• transmit at least a part of the voice input to the cloud-based agricultural database system in order for the cloud-based agricultural database system to supplement the one or both of the state data or the planning data with the voice input,
• wherein the at least one control system performs at least one of:
• automatically recognizing the agricultural work machine performing the agricultural activity in the agricultural context from one or more sensors resident on the agricultural work machine, wherein the one or more sensors resident on the agricultural work machine indicate the agricultural activity performed by the agricultural work machine;
• or
• automatically deriving one or more processing parameters from the one or more sensors resident on the agricultural work machine in order to generate the documentation regarding the agricultural activity.

A cloud-based agricultural database system comprising:

• an interface configured to receive one or both of state data or planning data from measurement data automatically collected by an agricultural work machine, the measurement data indicative of performing an agricultural activity in an agricultural context, wherein a user performs the agricultural activity with the agricultural work machine in an agricultural environment, with the agricultural activity, the user, and the agricultural environment are embedded in the agricultural context;
• at least one memory configured to store the one or both of the state data or the planning data;
• at least one processor configured to:
• store in the at least one memory the one or both of the state data or the planning data in order to generate documentation regarding the agricultural activity;
• transmit, to a terminal on the agricultural work machine, one or more questions for output on the terminal in a driver's cab of the agricultural work machine in order to solicit voice input from the user to supplement the documentation, including one or both of adding or amending to the documentation, the voice input being input by a smartphone resident in the driver's cab;
• receive supplemented data using the voice input;
• and
• automatically supplement the documentation with the supplemented data,
• wherein at least one control system of the agricultural work machine is configured to perform at least one of:
• automatically recognizing the agricultural work machine performing the agricultural activity in the agricultural context from one or more sensors resident on the agricultural work machine, wherein the one or more sensors resident on the agricultural work machine indicate the agricultural activity performed by the agricultural work machine;
• or
• automatically deriving one or more processing parameters from the one or more sensors resident on the agricultural work machine in order to generate the documentation regarding the agricultural activity.
