Definition of control data for automatic control of mobile mining machine
First Claim
1. A method for defining control data for arranging automatic control of a mobile mining machine equipped with a bucket, comprisingdefining for the mining machine control data which define the position of the bucket,generating a general-purpose bucket emptying model that defines at least a bucket path for emptying the bucket of the mining machine,storing said bucket emptying model on a memory means for use in the definition of control data for the automatic control of a mining machine comprising one or more buckets,fetching said bucket emptying model from the memory means in response to a need to define emptying the bucket for a route, andappending at least data defining the path of the bucket in the bucket emptying model fetched from the memory means to data of said route for use in the automatic control of the mining machine.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for arranging automatic control of a mobile mining machine equipped with a bucket. The method comprises generating a general purpose bucket emptying model that defines at least the path of the bucket of the mining machine for emptying it. The bucket emptying model is stored on a memory means. The bucket emptying model is fetched from the memory means in response to a need to define emptying the bucket for the route. At least data defining the path of the bucket in the fetched bucket emptying model are appended to the path data for use in the automatic control of the mining machine.

7. An apparatus comprising a data processing device for defining control data used for automatic control of a mobile mining machine, wherein the apparatus is adapted to:
-
generate a general-purpose bucket emptying model that defines at least the path of the bucket of the mining machine for emptying it, wherein the apparatus is arranged to define in said bucket emptying model path points on the basis of data of route points of an earlier defined route and associated with emptying the bucket; and store said bucket emptying model on a memory means for use in the definition of route data for the automatic control of a mobile mining machine comprising one or more buckets. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 12)

14. An apparatus comprising a data processing device for defining control data used for automatic control of a mobile mining machine, wherein the apparatus is arranged to:
-
fetch a pre-stored general-purpose bucket emptying model from a memory means in response to a need to define the emptying of the bucket for a route, the bucket emptying model defining at least the path of the bucket for emptying the bucket of the mining machine, and append at least data defining the path of the bucket in the bucket emptying model fetched from the memory means to data of said route. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 18, 19)
