Methods And Systems For Generating Shared Collaborative Maps

A non-transitory machine-accessible medium including one or more sets of instructions, which when executed by a data processing system, cause the data processing system to perform:

• generating at least one shared collaborative map for at least one of first and second agricultural machines, based on data gathered from the first agricultural machine and the second agricultural machine, said shared collaborative map indicating i) locations in a field where said first agricultural machine has already planted seed and ii) locations in the field where said second agricultural machine has already planted seed;
• providing the shared collaborative map to a cab monitor of at least one of the first agricultural machine and/or the second agricultural machine;
• generating, using the shared collaborative map, a first trigger that is compatible with the first agricultural machine;
• and
• communicating the first trigger to the first agricultural machine, based on a current location of the first agricultural machine relative to the shared collaborative map, to prevent the first agricultural machine from replanting regions at locations that have been already planted by the first agricultural machine or the second agricultural machine.

A computer-implemented method of generating a collaborative shared map between agricultural machines, the method comprising:

• generating at least one shared collaborative map for at least one of first and second agricultural machines, based on data gathered from the first agricultural machine and the second agricultural machine, said shared collaborative map indicating i) locations in a field that have been harvested by said first agricultural machine and ii) locations in the field that have been harvested by said second agricultural machine;
• providing the shared collaborative map to a cab monitor of at least one of the first agricultural machine and/or the second agricultural machine;
• generating, using the shared collaborative map, a first trigger that is compatible with the first agricultural machine;
• and
• communicating the first trigger to the first agricultural machine, based on a current location of the first agricultural machine relative to the shared collaborative map, to inform the first agricultural machine and/or an operator of the first agricultural machine of locations in the field that have been harvested by the first agricultural machine and/or the second agricultural machine.
