Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Data transmission to agricultural working machines can cause conflicts with existing settings, disrupting the working process and leading to unintended counter-actions by the driver, which negatively impact the machine's operation.
Innovation Solution
Implementing conflict processing strategies in the driver assistance system to avoid or resolve conflicts by deciding on setting processes based on stored strategies, ensuring safe adjustments and minimizing disruptions, with features like conflict checks and prioritization of data sources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If data transmission triggers immediate setting adjustments, then the machine adapts to new operating conditions faster, but it disrupts the current working process and causes driver confusion
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary conflict analysis before executing setting adjustments. The driver assistance system checks whether incoming data conflicts with current settings before applying changes, preventing disruptive adjustments while maintaining adaptive capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the driver assistance system continuously monitors current settings and compares them with incoming data recommendations. This feedback loop enables intelligent decision-making about whether to apply settings, ensuring adaptability without disrupting ongoing work processes.
2Speed
If the driver assistance system automatically applies setting changes, then the machine responds more quickly to external data, but the driver may be surprised and make unintended counter-adjustments
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback to the driver about recommended settings changes before automatic application. This allows the driver to understand and trust the system's decisions, preventing surprised counter-adjustments while maintaining quick response capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The driver assistance system serves itself by automatically analyzing conflicts and making intelligent decisions about setting adjustments. This self-service capability reduces the need for driver intervention while maintaining reliability through built-in conflict resolution logic.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all received data is processed and applied, then the machine utilizes maximum information from external sources, but it creates conflicts with existing optimized settings
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the beneficial and non-conflicting elements from incoming data. The driver assistance system analyzes external data recommendations and selectively applies only those settings that do not conflict with current optimized configurations, filtering out harmful conflicts.
Solution Approach 2:
The system converts potential harmful conflicts into beneficial learning opportunities. By analyzing why certain data recommendations conflict with current settings, the system improves its conflict detection capabilities and refines future decision-making, turning conflicts into system improvement.

AI summary
The invention relates to a data transmission system for agricultural machinery (2, 3) by means of which data can be transmitted between a data source (5) and a driver assistance system (4) of an agricultural machinery (2), wherein at least one setting operation on the agricultural machinery (2) can be triggered based on data transmitted between the data source (5) and the driver assistance system (4), wherein the setting operation on the agricultural machinery (2) that can be carried out based on the transmitted data may be in conflict with a currently used setting and/or a currently set processing strategy of this agricultural machinery (2).It is proposed that conflict processing strategies are stored in the driver assistance system (4) receiving the data, whereby the conflict can be avoided or resolved by processing at least one of the stored conflict processing strategies.
