Method and system for selecting desired response of an electronic-controlled sub-system
First Claim
1. A method for altering operating behavior of a sub-system component of a machine to suit a user'"'"'s preference, the method comprising:
- storing a plurality of parameters associated with the operating behavior of the sub-system component, the parameters having sets of values associated therewith wherein each set of values define one of a plurality of acceptable operating behaviors for the sub-system component;
receiving a selection signal selecting one of the set of values of the parameters; and
controlling the sub-system component based on the selected set of values for the parameters.

Abstract
A method and system for altering operating behavior of a sub-system component of a machine to suit a user'"'"'s preference includes a database for storing a plurality of parameters associated with the operating behavior of the sub-system component. The parameters have sets of values associated therewith wherein each set of values define one of a plurality of acceptable operating behaviors for the sub-system component. A sub-system controller receives a selection signal from the operator via a user interface selecting one of the set of values of the parameters according to his/her preference. The sub-system controller then controls the sub-system component based on the selected set of values for the parameters.

5. A system for altering operating behavior of a sub-system component of a machine to suit a user'"'"'s preference, the system comprising:
-
a database for storing a plurality of parameters associated with the operating behavior of the sub-system component, the parameters having sets of values associated therewith wherein each set of values define one of a plurality of acceptable operating behaviors for the sub-system component; and
a controller, in communication with the database, for receiving a selection signal selecting one of the set of values of the parameters and controlling the sub-system component based on the selected set of values for the parameters. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
a parameter scheduler for receiving the selection signal;
a control algorithm for controlling the sub-system component according to the parameters and one of the sets of values associated therewith; and
wherein the parameter scheduler is further operative to change the set of values used by the control algorithm.
