Abstract
A method including entering, by machine, a first field defined by first field boundaries; and automatically associating the machine with a first wireless network defined by the first field boundaries, the first wireless network comprising a secured data communications network.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- entering, by machine, a first field defined by first field boundaries;
- and
- automatically associating the machine with a first wireless network defined by the first field boundaries, the first wireless network comprising a secured data communications network.
A system, comprising:
- a first machine, comprising:
- a chassis coupled to rotating elements to cause traversal across a field;
- a wireless network interface;
- and
- a computing system configured to—
- detect when the first machine enters a first field defined by first field boundaries;
- and
- automatically associate the first machine with a first wireless network defined by the first field boundaries responsive to the detection, the first wireless network comprising a secured data communications network.
5 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a server;
- and
- a machine comprising:
- a chassis coupled to rotating elements to cause traversal across a field,
- a wireless network interface enabling machine-to-machine communications over a wireless network and connectivity to the server over a wide area network, and
- a computing system configured to:
- detect when the machine enters a field defined by field boundaries,
- responsive to the detection, automatically cause a broadcast of information over the wireless network defined by the field boundaries, the wireless network comprising a secured data communications network, and
- automatically cause an uploading of at least a portion of the information via the wireless network interface to the server over the wide area network, the information corresponding to operational parameters of the machine.
