Work Area Determination System for Autonomous Traveling Work Machine, Autonomous Traveling Work Machine and Work Area Determination Program

An autonomous traveling work machine comprising:

• a traveling machine body;
• a first positioning device for acquiring self machine position information indicative of a self machine position;
• a work area information acquisition section for acquiring work area information indicative of a work area;
• and
• a traveling control section for controlling traveling of the traveling machine body based the self machine position information and the work area information, so that the traveling machine body may travel within the work area;
• wherein the work area information acquisition section acquires the work area information from an operation terminal that is capable of determining the work area and that also includes a second positioning device for acquiring terminal position information indicative of a position of the operation terminal, a work area determination section that determines the work area based on the terminal position information, and a work area information outputting section for outputting work area information which is information relating to the determined work area.

A work area determination program for an autonomous traveling work machine which is autonomously controlled based on self machine position information indicative of a self machine position, the work area determination program comprising computer executed functions of:

• a positioning function for acquiring terminal position information inactive of a position of an operation terminal which stores this work area determination program therein;
• a work area determination function for determining a work area based on the terminal position information;
• and
• a work area information outputting function for outputting work area information which is information on the determined work area.
