SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY ACCESSING A MOWER AND/OR A DISPLAY THEREOF

1 . A mower system comprising:

a mower including:

a chassis;

a driveline coupled to the chassis and configured to drive a tractive element to propel the mower;

a mowing assembly;

an on-board display; and

a control system configured to:

acquire a plurality of signals regarding operation of the mower;

generate an on-board graphical user interface (GUI) on the on-board display based on the plurality of signals; and

transmit the plurality of signals to a remote system; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the remote system, cause the remote system to:

receive the plurality of signals from the mower; and

generate a remote GUI for display on a remote display based on the plurality of signals to emulate the on-board GUI.

2 . The mower system of claim 1 , wherein:

the instructions cause the remote system to:

receive an input from a remote user of the remote system; and

transmit the input to the mower;

the control system is configured to:

receive the input from the remote system; and

implement an action associated with the input.

3 . The mower system of claim 2 , wherein the input includes a chat message, and wherein the action includes displaying the chat message on the on-board display.

4 . The mower system of claim 2 , wherein the input includes a voice message, and wherein the action includes playing the voice message through a speaker of the mower.

5 . The mower system of claim 2 , wherein the input includes instructions to address an issue indicated by the plurality of signals, and wherein the action includes displaying the instructions on the on-board display.

6 . The mower system of claim 5 , wherein the instructions include at least one of a video or step-by-step instructions with pictures.

7 . The mower system of claim 2 , wherein the input includes a command for one or more components of the mower, and wherein the action includes providing the command to the one or more components of the mower.

8 . The mower system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more components include at least one of the driveline, the mowing assembly, or the on-board display.

9 . The mower system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more components include the on-board display.

10 . The mower system of claim 8 , wherein the command includes at least one of raising or lowering a mower deck of the mowing assembly, controlling a speed of the driveline, or steering the driveline.

11 . The mower system of claim 10 , wherein in response to implementing the action, the remote system is configured to collect data regarding operation of the mower.

12 . The mower system of claim 10 , wherein an on-site user must be present for the control system to implement the action, and wherein the mower includes a sensor configured to determine a presence of the on-site user.

13 . The mower system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the remote system to:

receive an input from a remote user of the remote system; and

update the remote GUI based on the input without a corresponding update being performed with the on-board GUI on the on-board display.

14 . The mower system of claim 13 , wherein:

the input is a first input;

the instructions cause the remote system to receive a second input from the remote user;

each of the first input and the second input includes a command for one or more components of the mower.

15 . The mower system of claim 14 , wherein the first input causes a physical change with the mower, and the second input causes a parameter or setting change with the mower.

16 . The mower system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of signals are controller area network (CAN) signals.

17 . A mower system comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a remote system, cause the remote system to:

acquire a plurality of controller area network (CAN) signals from a mower; and

generate a remote graphical user interface (GUI) for display on a remote display based on the plurality of CAN signals to emulate an on-board GUI displayed by an on-board display of the mower without the remote system having access to the on-board display.

18 . The mower system of claim 17 , wherein the instructions cause the remote system to at least one of:

(a) receive a first input from a remote user of the remote system and update the remote GUI based on the first input without a corresponding update being performed with the on-board GUI on the on-board display; or

(b) receive a second input from the remote user and provide a command to the mower based on the second input, the command configured to cause one or more components of the mower to perform a physical function, the one or more components including a driveline or a mowing assembly of the mower.

19 . The mower system of claim 17 , further comprising the mower.

20 . A mower system comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a remote system, cause the remote system to:

acquire a plurality of controller area network (CAN) signals from a mower;

generate a remote graphical user interface (GUI) for display on a remote display based on the plurality of CAN signals to emulate an on-board GUI displayed by an on-board display of the mower without the remote system having access to the on-board display;

receive a first input from a remote user of the remote system;

update the remote GUI based on the first input without a corresponding update being performed with the on-board GUI on the on-board display;

receive a second input from the remote user; and

provide a command to the mower based on the second input, the command configured to cause one or more components of the mower to perform a physical function.
