  • Publication number: 20250377715
    Abstract: A human machine interface for controlling an agricultural machine is equipped with a first input element being distant from a reference point and a second input element being more distant from the reference point than the first input element. Proximity sensors of the first input element and the second input element are configured for determining an approaching hand. A control unit may execute a method for checking whether the approaching hand is in a far distance or a close distance.

  • Patent number: 11052760
    Abstract: A vehicle control device incorporating a plurality of vehicle control elements, at least one control apparatus to alter a functionality of the vehicle control elements, each of the vehicle control elements adapted in use to control a valve in a hydraulic line, in which each vehicle control element incorporates a vehicle control display element, the vehicle control display element indicating whether the functionality of the vehicle control element may be altered. This allows a driver when looking at the vehicle control element easily to see from the vehicle control display element whether the functionality of the vehicle control element may be changed.

  • Publication number: 20180170183
    Abstract: A user control system for a vehicle, which allows for a user control element to be assigned to control different vehicle functions. In the case of vehicle functions requiring a plurality of control inputs, e.g. a direction-related vehicle function, the control system provides indicator elements which highlight the link between individual control elements which have been assigned to control such multiple-input functions. The indicator elements are preferably provided as light-emitting elements positioned between adjacent control elements which illuminate to indicate the functional connection between controls.
