  • Publication number: 20230286383
    Abstract: An agricultural work machine and a method for operation an agricultural work machine are disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes a driver’s cab with an interior space spatially partially delimited by a front window and at least one side window, a driver’s seat arranged in the interior space, an input device for entering input by an operator, a visualization system for visualizing information for an operator sitting on the driver’s seat, and a control device which is communication with the visualization system. The control device controls the visualization system in such a way that process information relevant to the selected work process is visualized.

  • Patent number: 10926636
    Abstract: A control system for an agricultural working machine has a control device which is connected, in terms of signals, to a display unit, a ground speed control lever, and a control panel, wherein at least the ground speed control lever comprises multiple control elements. The display unit is designed as a touch-sensitive screen including one or multiple visualization panes and several virtual control elements. A preferred quick-select function—from a plurality of different quick-select functions for adjusting a performance parameter of the working machine—is assigned to one of the control elements of the display unit, of the ground speed control lever, and of the control panel, the performance parameter being depictable with the aid of the display unit upon activation. The quick-select function can be activated with the aid of the display unit, and/or the ground speed control lever, and/or the control element.

  • Patent number: 9798451
    Abstract: An electronic control and display unit includes at least one display that has a touchscreen monitor and at least one control unit. The display has a plurality of visualization regions having visualization content. The touchscreen monitor associated with the display is subdivided into visualization regions and the visualization content of each visualization region is editable independently of the visualization content of the remaining visualization regions using available touchscreen functions.

  • Patent number: 9603302
    Abstract: An agricultural working machine has at least one working unit and a display device for displaying or adjusting parameters of the working machine the at least one working unit of both. The display device has a display unit with jointly depictable display elements for visualization of parameter-based values, the display elements preferably arranged concentrically in a form of circular-ring sections. The display device also includes at least one bar display that at least partially encircles the display elements radially on the outer side. Indicator element for displaying a defined value are disposed on the at least one bar display.

  • Patent number: 9483804
    Abstract: A server system for the administration of sequences for agricultural working machines made up of parameterized process steps of working devices includes a server and database in which a sequence inventory of sequences is stored. Sequence identifiers are assigned to each of the sequences of the sequence inventory, which describe one or more process steps of the respective sequence. A network interface to a global communication network is included to receive connection requests from a client and establish a connection-oriented, bidirectional data channel between the server and the client. The server receives a selection criterion from the client via the data channel, determines a sequence from the sequence inventory on the basis of a comparison of the criterion with the sequence identifiers and transmits the determined sequence to the client via the data channel.

  • Publication number: 20140053094
    Abstract: An electronic control and display unit comprises a display and at least one control unit. The display has a plurality of visualization regions and icons representing settings of parameters are assigned to the display in one or more visualization regions. A particular icon represents a parameter of a working machine. Activating the particular icon causes at least one virtual adjusting element to be shown on the display. The virtual adjusting element can be edited in order to change the parameter of the working machine.
