Abstract

A construction site status monitoring device is provided including processing circuitry configured to receive teaching data from a construction device in a teaching mode based on an operator performing an operation with the construction device and generate an operation profile based on the teaching data for execution by one or more construction devices. The operation profile defines parameters associated with the operation to enable one or more construction devices to repeat the operation in an operate mode.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1. A construction site status monitoring device comprising processing circuitry configured to:
receive teaching data from a first construction device in a teaching mode based on an operator performing an operation with the first construction device;
generate an operation profile based on the teaching data for execution by the first construction device or a second construction device, wherein the operation profile defines parameters associated with the operation to enable the first construction device or the second construction device to repeat the operation in an operate mode;
receive operating data transmitted from the first construction device or the second construction device operating based on the operation profile in the operate mode;
compare the operating data to the operation profile to determine a deviation of the operating data from the operation profile; and
transmit a warning communication to the first construction device or the second construction device in response to the deviation of operating data from the operation profile satisfying a warning threshold, or transmit a shutdown communication to the first construction device or the second construction device in response to the deviation of operating data from the operation profile satisfying a shutdown threshold.

2. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to transmit the operation profile to the first construction device or the second construction device to enable the first construction device or the second construction device to repeat the operation based on the operation profile automatically.

3. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to transmit the operation profile to the first construction device or the second construction device to enable the first construction device or the second construction device to repeat the operation based on the operation profile with feedback as the operating data.

4. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the operation profile is communicated to the first construction device or the second construction device through a wired or wireless communication for execution in the operate mode.

5. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the operation profile is transferred to the first construction device or the second construction device via a removable data storage medium for execution in the operate mode.

6. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
cause, via the shutdown communication, the first construction device or the second construction device to shutdown.

7. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the operation profile comprises a cut pattern or drill pattern.

8. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 7 , wherein the cut pattern or drill pattern includes a reference position, a direction, and an amount of motion from the reference position.

9. The construction site status monitoring device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
receive operation profile modification data from a user interface;
wherein the operation profile is further based on the operation profile modification data.

10. A construction site status monitoring system comprising:
a plurality of construction devices comprising at least a first construction device and a second construction device; and
a construction site status monitoring device comprising processing circuitry configured to:
receive teaching data from the first construction device in a teaching mode based on an operator performing an operation with the first construction device;
generate an operation profile based on the teaching data for execution by the second construction device and a spatial pattern of operations, wherein the operation profile defines parameters associated with the operation to enable the second construction device to repeat the operation in an operate mode in accordance with the spatial pattern of operations;
receive an indication of the second construction device being in the operate mode; and
in response to the indication of the second construction device being in the operate mode, cause the second construction device to operate based on the operation profile and repeat the operation conducted by the first construction device in the teaching mode in accordance with the spatial pattern of operations.

11. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to transmit the operation profile to the second construction device to enable the second construction device to repeat the operation based on the operation profile automatically or with feedback.

12. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the first construction device comprises the construction site status monitoring device.

13. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the operation profile is communicated to the second construction device through a wired communication, a wireless communication, or via a removable storage medium for execution in the operate mode.

14. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
receive operating data from the second construction device in the operate mode.

15. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 14 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
compare the operating data of the second construction device to the operation profile to determine a deviation of the operating data from the operation profile; and
wirelessly transmit a warning communication to the second construction device in response to the deviation of the operating data from the operation profile satisfying a warning threshold.

16. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 14 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:
compare the operating data of the second construction device to the operation profile to determine a deviation of the operating data from the operation profile; and
wirelessly transmit a shutdown communication to the second construction device in response to the deviation of the operating data from the operation profile satisfying a shutdown threshold to cause the second construction device to shutdown.

17. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the spatial pattern of operations comprises a cut pattern of operations or a drill pattern of operations.

18. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to generate the operation profile based on a reference point associated with the spatial pattern of operations.

19. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to generate the operation profile based on distances of operations from a reference point associated with the spatial pattern of operations.

20. The construction site status monitoring system of claim 10 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to generate the operation profile based on distances of operations from a reference point and device orientations for the operations associated with the spatial pattern of op
