System and method for training a machine operator
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for training an operator of a machine, comprising:
- receiving, in a processor of an operator training system, operation data collected by at least one sensing device on the machine and associated with operation of the machine;
determining, by the processor, an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data;
comparing, by the processor, the operator performance value with a benchmark value;
activating, by the processor, a software tool on a display console of the machine during the machine operation based on the comparison of the operator performance value with the benchmark value, wherein the software tool includes a software program; and
providing, by the processor, assistance with performance of a task associated with operation of the machine through the software program.

Abstract
An operator training system for a machine is disclosed. The operator training system comprises an interface in communication with a machine and a processor communicatively coupled to the interface. The processor is configured to receive, via the interface, operation data associated with operation of the machine. The processor is further configured to determine an operator performance value for an operator of the machine based on the received operation data. The processor is also configured to compare the operator performance value with a benchmark value. The processor is further configured to provide one or more training tools to the operator if the operator performance value is less than the benchmark value.
