Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for managing a graphical human-machine interface, includes the steps of receiving information relating to the position of the eyes and the gaze direction of a user at the interface; receiving physiological information of the user; determining a level of cognitive load on the basis of the received physiological information; adjusting the display of the interface on the basis of the gaze direction and/or of the determined level of cognitive load. Some developments describe the management of the display zones (foveal zone and peripheral zones), the selection of one or more displays, the management of the distance from the message display to the current gaze location, the management of the criticality of the messages, various graphical techniques for attracting attention, the management of the flight context in the avionic case, the management of visual density, etc. Some system aspects are described (virtual and/or augmented reality).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and system for display and interaction with an aircraft control system, intended for an aircraft pilot, embedded in a cockpit of the aircraft. The method is implemented by a system for display and interaction including a first so-called head-down man-machine interface and a second so-called head-up man-machine interface. The method includes determining a line of sight of the pilot, receiving a command to enter the frozen display mode and keeping at least part of the display on the second man-machine interface in a frozen position, independently of the pilot's line of sight, then displaying at least one complementary man-machine interface element, as a function of the pilot's line of sight, in at least one free area of the cockpit, and displaying a cursor representative of the pilot's line of sight.
Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of methods for determining safety zones surrounding an aircraft travelling or taking off from an airport zone, the safety zone being calculated at a determined instant that may be the present instant or the future instant. The method according to the invention comprises at least the following steps: Step 0: Establishment of a convex safety envelope surrounding the aircraft on the basis of reference points taken on the aircraft; Step 1: Establishment of a first convex envelope safety zone surrounding the aircraft on the basis of reference circles taken on the aircraft, each circle having as center one of the reference points and as radius the value of the uncertainty in the exact position of the aircraft. Other steps of the method make it possible to refine this first safety zone depending on whether the aircraft is in a taxiing or takeoff phase and depending on whether it is calculated at the present instant or at the future instant.
Abstract:
This electronic interface device between at least one avionic system and a set of sensors, each avionic system and the sensors being capable of being connected to an electronic interface device, is intended to be on board an aircraft. It comprises a module for detecting a first signal sent by a user or a piece of electronic equipment and received by a first sensor of the set; a module for activating at least a first sensor of the set, for receiving a second signal from the user or the piece of electronic equipment, each second sensor being determined based on the first signal and predefined determining rules; a module for acquiring the second signal received by each second sensor; and a module for generating a message corresponding to the second signal and sending said message to one or several avionic systems.

Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of systems for aiding the guidance of a first aircraft travelling around an airport zone. The system according to the invention comprises: a set of databases comprising bulkiness and performance characteristics of the said first aircraft, geometric and technical characteristics of the airport zone and information about the air traffic in the immediate environment of the said first aircraft; calculation means making it possible to firstly determine a safety zone around the said first aircraft taking into account at least the position of the said aircraft, its size and the uncertainty in the measurement of its position; and then a taxiing indication on the basis of the information arising from the databases and the characteristics of the safety zone; viewing means displaying at least one view of the airport one in which the first aircraft is situated and a representation of the said taxiing indication.
