Abstract

In a system and method for a web based system using events and pushed web content to interact with remote users for notifications and data collections operations may be performed including receiving, from a computing device, event data concerning a job being performed by a piece of agricultural equipment wherein the event data includes an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment. A database may be queried to determine a subscriber associated with the identifier. The event data may be transmitted to a network address associated with the subscriber. A response message may be received from the subscriber and forwarded to the computing device. The computing device may connect with the subscriber via a web application address included in the response message.

Claims

1-15. -15. (canceled)

16. A method for establishing communication between a set of subscribers and a computing device associated with a piece of agricultural equipment, the method comprising:

receiving at a server, event data associated with a piece of agricultural equipment in a geographic location, the piece of agricultural containing an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment;

querying a database of subscribers using the identifier of the agricultural equipment to determine a set of subscribers for the agricultural equipment;

transmitting from the server, the event data to a respective network address associated with each subscriber;

receiving a response message from a first subscriber of the set of subscribers, the response message including a location of a web application;

enabling communication between the first subscriber and the computing device by forwarding, from the server, the response message to the computing device for processing by the computing device.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the event data indicates a machine down event for the piece of agricultural equipment.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the event data indicates a fuel level event for the piece of agricultural equipment.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the response message includes a priority level.

20. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

determining, at the server, that the first subscriber is authorized to transmit a response message to the computing device before forwarding the response message to the computing device.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the determining is based on querying a subscriber database for an authorized authentication key for the first subscriber.

22. The method of claim 16, wherein the response message includes a universal resource locator (URL) for the enabling the communication.

23. The method of claim 22, wherein the URL exposes an Application Programming Interface.

24. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving at a server, event data associated with a piece of agricultural equipment in a geographic location, the piece of agricultural containing an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment;

querying a database of subscribers using the identifier of the agricultural equipment to determine a set of subscribers for the agricultural equipment;

transmitting from the server, the event data to a respective network address associated with each subscriber;

receiving a response message from a first subscriber of the set of subscribers, the response message including a location of a web application;

enabling communication between the first subscriber and the computing device by forwarding, from the server, the response message to the computing device for processing by the computing device.

25. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24, wherein the event data indicates a machine down event for the piece of agricultural equipment.

26. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24, wherein the event data indicates a fuel level event for the piece of agricultural equipment.

27. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24, wherein the response message includes a priority level.

28. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24, further comprising:

determining, at the server, that the first subscriber is authorized to transmit a response message to the computing device before forwarding the response message to the computing device.

29. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 28, wherein the determining is based on querying a subscriber database for an authorized authentication key for the first subscriber.

30. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 24, wherein the response message includes a universal resource locator (URL) for the enabling the communication.

31. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 30, wherein the URL exposes an Application Programming Interface.

32. A system comprising:

at least one processor;

a storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least processor to perform operations comprising;

receiving at a server, event data associated with a piece of agricultural equipment in a geographic location, the piece of agricultural containing an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment;

querying a database of subscribers using the identifier of the agricultural equipment to determine a set of subscribers for the agricultural equipment;

transmitting from the server, the event data to a respective network address associated with each subscriber;

receiving a response message from a first subscriber of the set of subscribers, the response message including a location of a web application;

enabling communication between the first subscriber and the computing device by forwarding, from the server, the response message to the computing device for processing by the computing device.

33. The system of claim 32, wherein the event data indicates a machine down event for the piece of agricultural equipment.

34. The system of claim 32, wherein the event data indicates a fuel level event for the piece of agricultural equipment.

35. The system of claim 32, wherein the response message includes a priority level.
