First Claim
Patent Images
1. A work machine comprising:
- at least one input device configured to generate input information;
a controller coupled to the at least one input device and configured to store the input information in a buffer, the controller being configured to detect a trigger from an additional work machine relative to the work machine and responsively save at least a portion of contents of the buffer to memory; and
a wireless communication module coupled to the controller and configured to transmit an external capture signal when the controller detects the trigger.

Abstract
A work machine includes at least one input device configured to generate input information. A controller is coupled to the input device(s) and is configured to store the input information in a buffer. The controller is configured to detect a trigger and responsively save at least a portion of contents of the buffer to memory. A wireless communication module is coupled to the controller and is configured to transmit an external capture signal when the controller detects the trigger.

12. A method of capturing event information related to a work machine, the method comprising:
-
receiving input information relative to the work machine; saving the input information in a buffer; detecting a trigger; saving at least a portion of the buffer; and generating a wireless external trigger signal to at least one other work machine, the wireless external trigger signal being configured to cause the at least one other work machine to save at least a portion of a buffer that is local to the at least one other work machine. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of capturing security event information with a work machine, the method comprising:
-
receiving a wireless security command to enable a security mode of the work machine; enabling sensors of the work machine that are related to security; transmitting a wireless communication signal to at least one other work machine to cause the at least one other work machine to enter security mode; receiving input information from the sensors of the work machine that are related to security; saving the input information in a first-in, first-out buffer; automatically detecting a security event; in response to automatically detecting the security event, saving at least a portion of contents of the buffer; and generating a wireless external trigger signal to the at least one other work machine to cause the at least one other work machine to save at least a portion of a buffer that is local to the at least one other work machine. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
