Real-Time Operation-Based Onboard Coaching System
First Claim
1. A method for coaching an operator of a machine having a controller in communication with a plurality of sensors configured to generate actual data indicative of real-time parameters associated with an operation of the machine, the method comprising:
- the controller receiving actual data related to the operation of the machine performed by the operator;
the controller determining a type of operation being performed based on the actual data;
the controller comparing the actual data to expected data for the type of operation being performed as preprogrammed in a memory associated with the controller; and
the controller providing notification of performance to the operator in real-time based on the comparison of the actual data to expected data.

Abstract
A method for coaching an operator of an earthmoving machine is disclosed. The machine may have a controller in communication with a plurality of sensors configured to generate actual data indicative of real-time parameters associated with an operation of the machine. In this aspect, the method comprises the controller receiving actual data related to the operation of the machine performed by the operator. The controller determines a type of operation being performed based on the actual data. The controller compares the actual data to expected data for the type of operation being performed as preprogrammed in a memory associated with the controller. The controller provides notification of performance to the operator in real-time based on the comparison of the actual data to expected data.

14. A system for coaching an operator of an earthmoving machine, comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors configured to generate signals indicative of actual data associated with an operation of the machine performed by the operator in real-time; a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors, the controller configured to; receive the signals indicative of actual data associated with the operation, compare the actual data to expected data preprogrammed into a memory associated with the controller, and notify the operator of his performance in real-time based on the comparison of the actual data to the expected data; and an output device in communication with the controller, the output device configured to output notification from the controller of operator performance in real-time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 20)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which when executed by a computer coach an operator of a machine, the computer-executable instructions comprising instructions for:
-
monitoring an operation of the machine performed by the operator; determining a type of operation being performed; comparing actual data from the operation in real-time to expected data for the determined type of operation; and generating feedback to the operator in real-time of his performance based on the comparison of the actual data to expected data.
