REAL TIME VIDEO FEED CONFIGURATION FOR REMOTE VISION
First Claim
1. A system for providing remote vision to a remote operator with respect to one or more machines, the system comprising:
- a remote vision system including one or more display screens;
a wireless transmitter/receiver for communicating with each of the one or more machines, wherein the wireless transmitter/receiver is adapted to receive one or more video feeds from each machine upon demand via a wireless channel having an available bandwidth;
a controller console linked to the remote vision system and configured to receive machine data from each of the one or more machines and select one or more video feeds from at least one of the one or more machines for display on the one or more display screens based on the received machine data, and to specify a resolution for each selected video feed based on the received machine data, such that the transmission of the selected video feeds at the specified resolution requires a first bandwidth that does not exceed the available bandwidth, the controller console being further configured to modify the video selection or resolution specification during operation of the one or more machines based on additional received machine data.

Abstract
A method and system for providing remote vision to a remote operator with respect to one or more machines includes a remote vision system and a wireless transmitter/receiver for communicating with each of the one or more machines. One or more video feeds are available from each machine upon demand. A controller console linked to the remote vision system receives machine data from each of the one or more machines and selects one or more video feeds for display based on the received machine data. The controller console also specifies a resolution for each selected video feed based on the received machine data, such that the transmission of the selected video feeds does not exceed the available bandwidth. The controller console may modify the video selection or resolution specification during operation of the one or more machines based on additional received machine data.

13. A method of providing remote vision to an operator of a plurality of machines, the method comprising:
-
receiving machine data from each of the plurality of machines at an operator center via a wireless link between the operator center and the plurality of machines; at a computing device associated with the operator center, automatically prioritizing video feeds available from each of the plurality of machines based on the received machine data; at the computing device associated with the operator center, selecting video feeds to receive at the operator center from each machine and specifying a resolution of each selected video feed based on the prioritization; and transmitting instructions to each machine from the operator center via the wireless link instructing each machine to transmit, at the specified resolution, the selected video feeds associated with that machine. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
