A safety-constrained remote interaction with an agricultural display that controls or monitors vehicle and implement operations. A bidirectional session between a remote terminal and the in-cab display renders a view of the display user interface and receives remote inputs that are translated to display-space coordinates. The display identifies a target user interface element using a hierarchical representation and applies remote-interaction safety rules before fabricating and delivering a simulated input event. Safety rules prohibit remotely initiating mechanical operations and block activation when a mechanism is in a mid-maintenance state, including via ancestor-level policies set by remote-click-prohibited flags and statically defined prohibited object names. When an action is denied, the system suppresses the event; when allowed, it may render a transient confirmation cue. The system selectively disables high-risk functions during remote sessions to improve operator and machine safety while enabling prompt, guided assistance for configuration and related tasks.
A system for remote interaction with an agricultural display, the system comprising:
A method for safety-constrained remote interaction with an agricultural display, the method comprising:
The method of claim 16, further comprising traversing ancestors of the target user interface element to detect at least one of a remote-click-prohibited flag or a prohibited object name, and, upon detection, suppressing the simulated input event.
The method of claim 16, further comprising prohibiting remote interaction with all user interface elements that are descendants of an ancestor element designated as remote-click-prohibited.
The method of claim 16, wherein identifying the target user interface element comprises selecting a frontmost or lowest-in-hierarchy element among a plurality of elements that overlap the display-space coordinates.
The method of claim 16, further comprising enforcing expiration of the control-consented state upon lapse of the time-bounded control interval and requiring renewed in-cab consent to resume remote control.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of an agricultural display, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
