System and method for reconfiguring operator controls

1. Method for reconfiguring operator controls of a work vehicle, the method comprising:

providing a user interface operatively coupled to a control device;

displaying displays of an apparatus configuration on a display screen of the user interface, each of the displays including graphics associated with a function of an apparatus and the graphics graphically representing operations of the function of the apparatus; wherein each of the displays categorizes the graphics based on the respective functions with a classifying indicator positioned within the display and aligned with the graphics within the display, and two of the graphics associated with the function of the apparatus are switchable between two positions separated by the classifying indicator in one of the displays;

associating a control output of a control unit of the control device with the function of the apparatus; and

dynamically adjusting, by a controller, the control output of the control unit to reconfigure operator controls of the work vehicle in response to a change in the graphics in the displays or a change in the relative arrangement of the displays on the display screen.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the operations of the function of the apparatus comprises flan directions of movement of the apparatus between at least two positions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein dynamically adjusting the control output of the control unit comprises modifying the function of the apparatus and corresponding hydraulic controls associated with the control unit.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein two of the graphics associated with the function of the apparatus are switchable between two positions separated by the classifying indicator in one of the displays.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus comprises an implement coupled to the work vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to control movement of an actuator coupled to the implement to move the implement between a first position and a second position in response to receipt of an operator input to the control unit.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises two or more display screens viewable by an operator, and wherein dynamically adjusting the control output of the control unit comprises changing a relative arrangement of the two or more display screens or the relative arrangement of displays arranged in each of the two or more di splay screens.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises a touchscreen display configured to receive control inputs from an operator to change the graphics or the relative arrangement of the displays.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying one or more machine control graphics having an associated machine function on the display screen, wherein the controller is configured to adjust the machine function in response to receipt of an operator input to the control unit.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising toggling control between the user interface and the control units to allow an operator to control the function of the apparatus via the user interface or the control units.

10. A system for reconfiguring operators controls of a work vehicle, the system comprising:

a control device comprising at least one control unit configured to provide a control output associated with a function of an apparatus;

a user interface coupled to or arranged proximate the control device, wherein the user interface is configured to display graphics of an apparatus configuration included by one of displays shown on a display screen of the user interface, and wherein the graphics are associated with the function of the apparatus and graphically represents operations of the function of the apparatus; wherein each of the displays categorizes the graphics based on the respective functions with a classifying indicator positioned within the display and aligned with the graphics within the display, and two of the graphics associated with the function of the apparatus are switchable between two positions separated by the classifying indicator in one of the displays; and

a controller, wherein the controller is configured to dynamically adjust the control output of the control unit to reconfigure operator controls of the work vehicle in response to a change in the relative arrangement of the graphics displayed on the user interface.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the operations of the function of the apparatus comprises flan directions of movement of the apparatus between at least two positions.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the apparatus comprises an implement coupled to the work vehicle.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the controller is configured to control movement of an actuator coupled to the implement to move the implement between a first position and a second position in response to receipt of an operator input to the control unit.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the change in the graphics comprises changing a relative arrangement of graphics in different locations displayed in the display to reconfigure the operator controls of the work vehicle.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the user interface further comprises a mode selection button, and wherein the mode selection button is configured to toggle control of the function of the apparatus between the user interface and the control units.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the user interface comprises a touchscreen display configured to receive control inputs from an operator to change the graphics or the relative arrangement of the displays.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein one or more machine control graphics having an associated machine function are displayed on the user interface, and wherein the controller is configured to adjust the machine function in response to receipt of an operator input to the control unit.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the user interface comprises two or more display screens viewable by an operator, and wherein dynamically adjusting the control output of the control unit comprises changing a relative arrangement of the two or more display screens or the relative arrangement of displays arranged in each of the two or more display screens.
