System and method for communicating with an operator of the system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining a designated task to perform using a machine assembly of a control system, the control system including a system interface for communicating with an operator,receiving a current state of the machine assembly while the designated task is being performed by the machine assembly, the current state being associated with plural pre-defined state parameters;
executing a dynamic decision-making process comprising;
(a) receiving environmental data;
(b) determining a fused ensemble based on the environmental data and the state parameters of the current state, the fused ensemble including communications for the state parameters from the system interface to the operator, the communications informing the operator about the state parameters and including at least one of a visual signal, an audible signal, or a tactile signal from the system interface;
(c) communicating the fused ensemble to the operator through the system interface;
(d) repeating (a)-(c) while the machine assembly is in the current state, the fused ensemble configured to change based on changes in the environmental data.

Abstract
Method includes executing a dynamic decision-making process that includes (a) receiving environmental data and (b) determining a fused ensemble based on the environmental data and a state parameters of a current state of a machine assembly. The fused ensemble includes communications from a system interface to the operator for the state parameters. The communications inform an operator about the state parameters and includes at least one of a visual signal, an audible signal, or a tactile signal from the system interface. The decision-making process also includes (c) communicating the fused ensemble to the operator through the system interface and (d) repeating (a)-(c) while the machine assembly is in the current state. The fused ensemble is configured to change based on changes in the environmental data.

15. A system comprising:
-
a machine assembly; a control system configured to control the machine assembly to perform a designated task, the control system including a system interface for communicating with an operator, wherein the control system includes one or more processors that are configured to; receive a current state of the machine assembly while the designated task is being performed by the machine assembly, the current state being associated with plural pre-defined state parameters; execute a dynamic decision-making process comprising; (a) receiving environmental data; (b) determining a fused ensemble based on the environmental data and the state parameters of the current state, the fused ensemble including communications for the state parameters from the system interface to the operator, the communications informing the operator about the state parameters and including at least one of a visual signal, an audible signal, or a tactile signal from the system interface; (c) communicating the fused ensemble to the operator through the system interface; (d) repeating (a)-(c) while the machine assembly is in the current state, the fused ensemble configured to change based on changes in the environmental data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
