First Claim
Patent Images
1. A movable machine, comprising:
- a chassis;
a work implement coupled to said chassis;
an operator control carried by said chassis, said operator control being configured to control an operation of said work implement; and
a controller communicatively coupled to said operator control, said controller configured to send at least one of a force feedback or a vibration feedback to said operator control thereby conveying information to an operator, said information not being related to a load encountered by the work implement.

Abstract
A movable machine including a chassis, a tool coupled to the chassis, an operator control carried by the chassis and a controller. The controller is communicatively coupled to the operator control. The controller being configured to send a force feedback and/or a vibration feedback to the operator control thereby conveying information to the operator. The information is not related to a load encountered by the tool.

15. A force feedback method for an operator control of a movable machine, the machine having a chassis, a work implement coupled to the chassis, and the operator control carried by the chassis, the operator control being configured to control an operation of the work implement, the method comprising:
-
receiving, with a controller coupled to the operator control, an input from the operator control associated with the operation of the work implement; and sending, using the controller, a force feedback to the operator control thereby conveying information to an operator, said information not being related to a load encountered by the work implement. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
