SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING MACHINE OPERATIONS
First Claim
1. A system for performing remote controlled operations between work machines, comprising:
- a first work machine associated with first work machine identifier information and including mapping information and configured to perform a first set of operations; and
a second work machine associated with second work machine identifier information and configured to perform a second set of operations, wherein the mapping information defines a control relationship between one or more operations of other work machines and the first work machine, and wherein the first work machine determines at least one selected operation from the second set of operations that may be adjusted by the first work machine based on the mapping information and at least one of the first and second work machine identifier information.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed that enable one or more work machines to control operations of one or more remote work machines. In one embodiment, the systems and methods perform a process including determining a first type of first work machine performing first operations in a work environment and determining a second type of second work machine performing second operations in the work environment. Based on the first and second type of the first and second work machines, a selected second operation that the first work machine can control is determined. Subsequently, the first work machine may adjust the selected second operation while the first work machine performs the first operations.

24. A system in a first work machine performing first operations, comprising:
-
a memory including a data structure storing mapping information that correlates work machine types to operations of work machines of the work machine types; and
a processor configured to receive identifier information from a second work machine reflecting at least a type of the second work machine and configured to analyze the data structure based on the identifier information to determine a selected operation of the second work machine that the first work machine is authorized to control, wherein the first work machine controls the selected operation of the second work machine while performing the first operations.
