  • Patent number: 11112262
    Abstract: A second data processor determines candidate passes of the second vehicle in alignment with the defined plant rows to provide area coverage of the work area or field within the defined boundary based on an implement width or swath of the second vehicle and row spacing of the second vehicle, wherein the one or more candidate passes are associated with the defined plant rows consistent with a planned guidance path. From the present position and heading of the second vehicle, a user interface or display displays the determined candidate passes to minimize overlap of adjacent candidate passes of the second vehicle and to minimize any yield loss associated with unharvested/untreated passes or zones within the work area or field. The user interface or display supports selection of one of the displayed or presented candidate passes as the planned guidance path of the second vehicle consistent with the provision of area coverage of the work area or field.

  • Patent number: 10936872
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for object interaction based on an identified context. A wearable device, such as a head-mounted display device (HMD), is initiated. The HMD can obtain data via one or more sensors that corresponds to one or more non-human-machine interface (HMI) devices or objects. Based on the obtained data, the HMD can recognize and identify the non-HMI devices within an optically-encoded field of view of the HMD. The non-HMI devices can be viewed through the HMD along with virtual objects or identifiers associated therewith, and the virtual objects or identifiers can reference the viewed non-HMI devices. One or more commands associated with the virtual objects or indicators can then be received by the HMD to enable interaction with the viewed non-HMI devices. Based on the commands information can be provided for display or audio output.
