System and method for adjusting machine parameters
First Claim
1. A method for adjusting machine parameters based on a skill level of an operator, comprising:
- receiving, by a personal area network (PAN)-compatible communication device, information indicative of the skill level of the operator;
detecting a PAN-compatible electronic control module (ECM) proximate the PAN-compatible communication device; and
transmitting the information indicative of the skill level of the operator to the detected PAN-compatible ECM, wherein the PAN-compatible ECM is configured to adjust an operational aspect of the machine in response to the information indicative of the skill level of the operator, wherein adjusting the operational aspect of the machine includes automating a function of the machine and thereby, preventing the operator from manually controlling said function of the machine.

Abstract
A system for adjusting machine parameters based on a skill level of an operator comprises a personal area network (PAN)-compatible electronic control module (ECM) located on a machine. The system also includes a PAN-compatible communication device associated with an operator of the machine. The PAN-compatible communication device is configured to receive information indicative of the skill level of the operator. The PAN-compatible communication device is also configured to establish a wireless communication link with the PAN-compatible ECM and transmit the information indicative of the skill level of the operator to the PAN-compatible ECM. The PAN-compatible ECM is configured to adjust an operational aspect of the machine based on the information indicative of the skill level of the operator of the machine.

8. A system for adjusting machine parameters based on a skill level of an operator, comprising:
-
a personal area network (PAN)-compatible electronic control module (ECM) located on a machine; a PAN-compatible communication device associated with the operator of the machine and configured to; receive information indicative of the skill level of the operator; establish a wireless communication link with the PAN-compatible ECM; and transmit the information indicative of the skill level of the operator to the PAN-compatible ECM; wherein the PAN-compatible ECM is configured to adjust an operational aspect of the machine based on the information indicative of the skill level of the operator of the machine, wherein adjusting the operational aspect of the machine includes automating a function of the machine and thereby preventing the operator from manually controlling said function of the machine when the information indicative of the skill level of the operator indicates the operator has not received training related to said function of the machine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A project environment, comprising:
-
at least one machine operating in the project environment; a personal area network (PAN)-compatible electronic control module (ECM) located on the machine and configured to control at least one operational aspect of the machine; a PAN-compatible communication device associated with an operator of the machine and configured to; receive information indicative of the skill level of the operator; establish a wireless communication link with the PAN-compatible ECM; and transmit the information indicative of the skill level of the operator to the PAN-compatible ECM; wherein the PAN-compatible ECM is configured to adjust the at least one operational aspect of the machine based on the information indicative of the skill level of the operator of the machine, wherein adjusting the at least one operational aspect of the machine includes automating a function of the machine and thereby preventing the operator from manually controlling said function of the machine. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
