Abstract:
An avionics system and method is provided that de-clutters an image on a cockpit display system on a host aircraft, thus increasing a pilot's situational awareness. The avionics display system comprises a processor and a display system. The processor is coupled to the display system, a user input device, and a plurality of sources of information layers. When the de-clutter process is enabled, a filter parameter is applied to a selected information layer, and a graphic display of the filtered information layer is provided. The adjustable filter parameter can be applied to any of the information layers displayed on the cockpit display system.
Abstract:
A system and method are described that converts ATC voice instructions into text, and identifies intent wording and data from the text. The intent wording and data are preferably displayed in different formats, and may be included on a map of the aircraft route. Furthermore, a read back of the instructions by the pilot to ATC may be analyzed and compared with the ATC command. If the comparison is faulty, the formats of the intent wording and/or data may be modified further to alert the pilot of the discrepancy.
Abstract:
A system is provided that includes a processor configured to receive an input of a user in response to a display of a text segment generated by a decode operation of an audio segment wherein the processor is configured to if the user determines by viewing a display containing one or more text segments that the one or more text segments include an improper splitting of text segments, perform a merge action in response to a user input to merge the one or more text segments into a single text segment for display; and if the user determines by viewing a display containing the at least one single text segment that the at least one single text segment should be split, perform a split action in response to the user input to split the at least one single text segment into the one or more text segments.
Abstract:
A transcription system for an aircraft is configured to: generate an ownship call sign list that includes a plurality of potential ownship call signs that may be used in messages from ATC directed to the ownship, categorize a received message as being directed to the ownship when a recovered call sign from the message corresponds to a call sign from the ownship call sign list; and signal an aircraft display device to display a graphical message element that is representative of the received message, includes a textual representation of message content and the recovered call sign from the received message, and that is displayed in a manner that indicates whether the received message has been categorized as being directed to the ownship or traffic aircraft. The transcription system for an aircraft may be configured to re-categorize a previously categorized received ATC message based on flight crew interaction with a GUI.
Abstract:
A method of displaying information is provided. The method includes displaying, by a transcription app, a set of traffic operating in airspace of a first category of traffic and second category traffic wherein the first category of traffic includes a set of aircraft that is operating within a defined range to the ownship in comparison to the second category of traffic that includes another set of aircraft that is operating outside the defined range to the ownship; classifying the first category of traffic at the closer distance to the ownship as proximate traffic and the second category of traffic at the further distance to the ownship as non-proximate traffic for enabling at least selection of either the proximate traffic or the non-proximate traffic on the display device for decluttering the display of traffic on the display device.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a transcription system configured to: receive a plurality of messages; extract message content from the plurality of received messages; generate a graphical message element for each of the plurality of received messages that includes a section for displaying the textual representation of the message content for a corresponding received message and a bookmark symbol, wherein the bookmark symbol is selectable to change from an unselected state to a selected state indicating that the graphical message element has been bookmarked; generate a first graphical display page for displaying the graphical message elements for each of the plurality of received messages; generate a second graphical display page for displaying the graphical message elements that have been bookmarked but not graphical message elements that have not been bookmarked; and signal an aircraft display device to display the first graphical display page or the second graphical display page.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for assisting operation of a vehicle using speech recognition. One method involves analyzing a transcription of an audio communication with respect to the vehicle to characterize a nonstandard pattern within the transcription of the audio communication, obtaining a ground truth for the transcription of the audio communication, determining one or more performance metrics associated with the nonstandard pattern within the transcription based on a relationship between the transcription of the audio communication and the ground truth for the transcription, updating a speech recognition vocabulary for the vehicle to include the nonstandard pattern based at least in part on the one or more performance metrics and determining an updated speech recognition model for the vehicle using the updated speech recognition vocabulary and the audio communication.
Abstract:
A method for receiving data onboard an aircraft is provided. The method obtains a plurality of aircraft transponder messages associated with a particular landing zone; extracts, from each of the plurality of aircraft transponder messages, aircraft position data associated with landing at least one lead aircraft at the particular landing zone; and determines a landing path for use by the aircraft to land at the particular landing zone, based on the extracted aircraft position data.
Abstract:
An aircraft system for an own-ship aircraft includes an ADS-B unit configured to receive ADS-B messages with flight information from other aircraft over a plurality of time periods, the other aircraft including a first aircraft. The system further includes a database configured to store at least a portion of the flight information associated with the other aircraft over the plurality of time periods. The system further includes a processing unit configured to compare the flight information for a current time period to the flight information for a previous time period to identify missing flight information from the current time period relative to the previous time period, the missing flight information including the flight information associated with the first aircraft, and initiate an annunciation to an operator of the own-ship aircraft based on the missing flight information associated with the first aircraft.
