Abstract
A method for supporting the automation of agricultural work or service includes collecting data, further processing the collected data using context processing rules to form a context profile, selecting process information using process assignment rules and depending on the context profile, and performing agricultural work or service depending on the process information that was selected, so that it is possible to largely automate the performance of agricultural work or service.
Claims19
A method for supporting an automation of agricultural work or service, comprising the steps of collecting data;
- further processing the collected data using context processing rules to form a context profile;
- selecting process information using process assignment rules and depending on the context profile;
- and performing agricultural work or service depending on the process information that was selected.
A method for supporting an automation of agricultural work or service, comprising the steps controlling functions of an agricultural machine depending on process information;
- collecting data including at the least an identity of the agricultural machine, a geographical position of the agricultural machine, an operating state of the agricultural machine, and time information;
- further processing and/or supplementing the collected data using context processing rules to form a context profile;
- providing a large amount of agriculture-specific process information, including at least:
- the agricultural work or service to be performed and the process parameters required therefor;
- while the agricultural work or service is being performed including in the data to be collected:
- an identity of the agricultural machine, a geographic position of the agricultural machine, an operating state of the agricultural machine, time information;
- selecting process information using process assignment rules and depending on the context profile;
- and controlling an agricultural machine depending on the process information that was selected.
An agricultural machine, comprising a control unit performing agricultural work or service depending on process information;
- one or more data collection devices collecting data;
- a data processing device further processing and/or supplementing the collected data using context processing rules to form a context profile;
- and a selection device selecting process information using process assignment rules and depending on the context profile, transmitting it to the control unit.
A system for supporting an automation of agricultural work or service, comprising a transmitter unit and a receiver unit communicating with one or more agricultural machines;
- a large amount of agriculture-specific process information assigned to one or more initial contexts;
- and a selection device selecting, depending on an initial context received from an agricultural machine, a large amount of process information assigned to this initial context from among the large amount of agriculture-specific process information, and transmitting it to the agricultural machine from which the initial context was received.
