Web based system using events and pushed web content to interact with remote users for notifications and data collections

Abstract

In a system and method for a web based system using events and pushed web content to interact with remote users for notifications and data collections operations may be performed including receiving, from a computing device, event data concerning a job being performed by a piece of agricultural equipment wherein the event data includes an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment. A database may be queried to determine a subscriber associated with the identifier. The event data may be transmitted to a network address associated with the subscriber. A response message may be received from the subscriber and forwarded to the computing device. The computing device may connect with the subscriber via a web application address included in the response message.

         16 . A method for establishing communication between a set of subscribers and a computing device associated with a piece of agricultural equipment, the method comprising:
 receiving at a server, event data associated with a piece of agricultural equipment in a geographic location, the piece of agricultural containing an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment;   querying a database of subscribers using the identifier of the agricultural equipment to determine a set of subscribers for the agricultural equipment;   transmitting from the server, the event data to a respective network address associated with each subscriber;   receiving a response message from a first subscriber of the set of subscribers, the response message including a location of a web application;   enabling communication between the first subscriber and the computing device by forwarding, from the server, the response message to the computing device for processing by the computing device.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the event data indicates a machine down event for the piece of agricultural equipment. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the event data indicates a fuel level event for the piece of agricultural equipment. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the response message includes a priority level. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 determining, at the server, that the first subscriber is authorized to transmit a response message to the computing device before forwarding the response message to the computing device.   
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the determining is based on querying a subscriber database for an authorized authentication key for the first subscriber. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the response message includes a universal resource locator (URL) for the enabling the communication. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the URL exposes an Application Programming Interface. 
     
     
         24 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving at a server, event data associated with a piece of agricultural equipment in a geographic location, the piece of agricultural containing an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment;   querying a database of subscribers using the identifier of the agricultural equipment to determine a set of subscribers for the agricultural equipment;   transmitting from the server, the event data to a respective network address associated with each subscriber;   receiving a response message from a first subscriber of the set of subscribers, the response message including a location of a web application;   enabling communication between the first subscriber and the computing device by forwarding, from the server, the response message to the computing device for processing by the computing device.   
     
     
         25 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 24 , wherein the event data indicates a machine down event for the piece of agricultural equipment. 
     
     
         26 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 24 , wherein the event data indicates a fuel level event for the piece of agricultural equipment. 
     
     
         27 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 24 , wherein the response message includes a priority level. 
     
     
         28 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 24 , further comprising:
 determining, at the server, that the first subscriber is authorized to transmit a response message to the computing device before forwarding the response message to the computing device.   
     
     
         29 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 28 , wherein the determining is based on querying a subscriber database for an authorized authentication key for the first subscriber. 
     
     
         30 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 24 , wherein the response message includes a universal resource locator (URL) for the enabling the communication. 
     
     
         31 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 30 , wherein the URL exposes an Application Programming Interface. 
     
     
         32 . A system comprising:
 at least one processor;   a storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving at a server, event data associated with a piece of agricultural equipment in a geographic location, the piece of agricultural containing an identifier associated with the agricultural equipment; 
 querying a database of subscribers using the identifier of the agricultural equipment to determine a set of subscribers for the agricultural equipment; 
 transmitting from the server, the event data to a respective network address associated with each subscriber; 
 receiving a response message from a first subscriber of the set of subscribers, the response message including a location of a web application; 
 enabling communication between the first subscriber and the computing device by forwarding, from the server, the response message to the computing device for processing by the computing device. 
   
     
     
         33 . The system of  claim 32 , wherein the event data indicates a machine down event for the piece of agricultural equipment. 
     
     
         34 . The system of  claim 32 , wherein the event data indicates a fuel level event for the piece of agricultural equipment. 
     
     
         35 . The system of  claim 32 , wherein the response message includes a priority level.
