The patent filed by Kubota Corp. describes a precision steering computer system for tractors that uses geo-location waypoints generated by a handheld smart device to steer the vehicle. The waypoints are transmitted in a batch from the smart device to the steering computer, which processes them in real-time to generate steering commands. The system allows for efficient and accurate steering of the tractor based on the planned path created by the operator on the smart device, with progress and status displayed on the same device.
The system involves a first navigation computing device on the smart device generating waypoints in a non-real-time domain and transmitting them wirelessly to a second steering computing device on the tractor. The steering device accumulates and processes the waypoints in a First-In-First-Out queue to generate steering commands for the vehicle. The interaction between the two devices is managed through status messages indicating buffer capacity and the ability to accept additional waypoints. This method ensures smooth and continuous steering of the tractor based on the planned path provided by the operator, enhancing precision and efficiency in agricultural operations.
