  • Patent number: 11730093
    Abstract: A system assists during execution of a sequence of cuttings in a tree, wherein, during a cutting sequence, a first cut in the tree is followed by a second cut in the tree At least a part of an ideal course of the second cut depends on at least a part of a course of the first cut. An identification device identifies at least the part of the course of the first cut in the tree. A precalculation device precalculates at least the part of the ideal course of the second cut in the tree based on the identified part of the course of the first cut. An output device outputs cutting information for executing the second cut based on the precalculated part of the ideal course of the second cut.

  • Patent number: 11723321
    Abstract: A system assists during felling of a tree. A provision device provides a property of the tree and/or a property of an environment of the tree, identifies at least part of a course of a cut in the tree for felling the tree and/or identifies a position and/or an orientation of a cutting apparatus executing the cut. A determination device obtains felling information related to an ideal felling direction of the tree, compares the identified part of the course to an obtained part of an ideal course of a cut to be executed in the tree for felling the tree in the ideal felling direction, compares the identified position and/or the identified orientation of the cutting apparatus to an obtained ideal position and/or an obtained ideal orientation of the cutting apparatus, and obtains cutting information based on the comparison. An output device outputs the obtained felling information and cutting information.

  • Patent number: 10818292
    Abstract: A method for term-dependent output of information based on a voice input to a specific group includes the steps of: capturing the voice input; analyzing the captured voice input for the presence of a group-specific key term, associated with the specific group; and on detection of the group-specific key term in the analyzed voice input, outputting the information based on the voice input to the specific group.
