SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WORK VEHICLE OPERATOR IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. An operator identification control system for a work vehicle having a cab, a work tool and a source of propulsion, the operator identification control system comprising:
- a source associated with the operator that actively transmits an operator identification to identify the operator; and
at least one controller onboard the work vehicle that receives and processes the operator identification to determine whether the operator is associated with the work vehicle, and based on the determination, enables at least one of an operation of the work tool and a motion of the work vehicle by the operator.

Abstract
An operator identification control system and method are disclosed for a work vehicle having a cab, a work tool and a source of propulsion. The operator identification control system includes a source associated with the operator that actively transmits an operator identification to identify the operator. The operator identification control system also includes at least one controller onboard the work vehicle that receives and processes the operator identification to determine whether the operator is associated with the work vehicle, and based on the determination, enables an operation of the work tool and/or a motion of the work vehicle by the operator.

10. An operator identification control method for a work vehicle having a cab, a work tool and a source of propulsion, the method comprising:
-
actively transmitting a machine identification in the cab of the work vehicle; receiving, by at least one controller of the work vehicle, an operator identification that identifies an operator based on the machine identification; processing, by the at least one controller, the operator identification to determine whether the operator is associated with the work vehicle; and enabling an operation of the work tool and a motion of the work vehicle by the operator based on the determination. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An operator identification control system for a work vehicle having a cab, a work tool and a source of propulsion, the operator identification control system comprising:
-
a source that actively transmits a machine identification disposed in the cab of the work vehicle; an operator device having a controller that receives and processes the machine identification and based on the received machine identification, generates an operator identification that identifies an operator; and at least one controller onboard the work vehicle that receives and processes the operator identification to determine whether the operator is associated with the work vehicle, and based on the determination, enables an operation of the work tool and enables a motion of the work vehicle by the operator. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
