Patent number: 11169689Abstract: A control system for an autonomous agricultural system includes a display configured to display at least one control function associated with at least one operation. The display is configured to output a first signal indicative of a first input. The control system includes a controller comprising a processor and a memory. The controller is communicatively coupled to the display and configured to receive the first signal indicative of the first input and to send a second signal to the display indicative of instructions to display a second control in an unlocked state. The display is configured to output a third signal to the controller indicative of the second input. The controller is configured to receive the third signal and to output a fourth signal indicative of instructions to control the at least one operation of the autonomous agricultural system.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignees: CNH Industrial America LLC, Autonomous Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Alan Foster, John Henry Posselius, Bret Todd Turpin, Daniel John Morwood, Brandon Chamberlain Adams, James Allen Bradford, Kim Richardson Barker

Patent number: 9949423Abstract: An agricultural system includes agricultural equipment and a user interface. The agricultural equipment includes a command and control system and an equipment configuration code file. The command and control system, in operation, configures and controls the agricultural equipment based at least in part on the equipment configuration code file. The agricultural equipment comprises a work vehicle or an implement to be carried or towed by a work vehicle. The user interface displays information to, and receive inputs from a user for one or more data fields in the equipment configuration code file for the agricultural equipment. The data fields comprise a user-given name and at least one of a compatible implement, an accessory, or a task for which the agricultural equipment may be configured.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignees: CNH Industrial America LLC, Autonomous Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Alan Foster, John Henry Posselius, Bret Todd Turpin, Brandon Chamberlain Adams, James Brian Stewart
