Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of display systems comprising a display device displaying a configuration comprising a plurality of graphical formats, a touch-sensitive surface comprising means arranged to provide a haptic sensation and means of designation of the said plurality of graphical formats. In the system according to the invention, at least one function of implementation of a first graphical format does not comprise any displayed graphical indication and is signalled solely by a haptic sensation dedicated to the said implementing function when the designation means are on the said first graphical format or in its immediate vicinity.
Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of methods for determining a taxiing path of an aircraft over an airport area. The method is implemented by the avionics system of the aircraft. It comprises the following steps: Determining the “nodes” of a connectivity graph, said nodes representing the junction points between the traffic lanes of said airport area; Determining the useful arcs joining said nodes and representing the network of traffic lanes that can be taken by the aircraft; Attributing a “weight” to each useful arc; Determining the optimal path by an algorithm of Dijkstra type starting from the present position of the aircraft up to its destination position and passing through datum points; Computing, and displaying a graphical representation including a representation of the airport area, of the aircraft and of the optimal path.
Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of methods for managing communications symbols in a viewing system including an associated viewing device comprising a touch surface and controlling, managing and displaying means. The interactor has three states that are a passive state, an active state and a state for setting one of the parameters of the communication. Said displaying and managing method comprises at least the following steps to apply a setting:Step 1: on a first tactile stress, causing an interaction zone of oblong shape and an icon representative of the possible setting choices to appear;Step 2: by holding and moving the tactile stress in the direction of the length of the interaction zone, selecting a given setting; andStep by stopping the tactile stress, validating the new setting and causing the icon and the interaction zone to disappear.
Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of methods for managing interaction symbols in a viewing system including an associated viewing device comprising a touch surface and displaying, managing and controlling means. The method according to the invention is implemented so as to manage graphical interactors allowing the functions of a discrete or continuous-state rotary control knob to be carried out. It comprises the following steps: Step 1: in the absence of tactile stress, displaying a symbol representative of the current state of said rotary control knob; Step 2: on a first tactile stress, causing interaction icons dedicated to said rotary control knob and surrounding said symbol to appear; Step 3: by maintaining and moving the tactile stress over the various interaction icons, changing the current state of said rotary control knob; and Step 4: by stopping the tactile stress, validating the new current state and causing the interaction icons to disappear.
Abstract:
The general field of the invention is that of systems for segregating audio messages in a cockpit of a first aircraft. Said system comprises: means for receiving and recording audio messages; a database of keywords for the audio messages; means for recognizing of keywords in the audio messages; means for separating the audio messages as a function of said keywords; means for ranking the messages according to an order of priority; means for processing the audio messages according to said order of priority; means for transmitting the messages processed according to said order of priority; means for listening to the audio messages.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an on-board optoelectronic system to assist the taxiing of an aircraft on the taxiways of an airport, that includes: a database (2) of maps of the airport, a device (1) for positioning the aircraft, and a device (3) for generating first graphical data representing a “moving map”. a graphical data display device (4), a database (5) describing the features of the cockpit, a device (7) for generating second graphical data as a function of the said features, representing a zone of visibility from the cockpit by means of a mask (30), and means of superimposition (8) of the second graphical data on the first graphical data, connected to the display device (4).
