20090099771 | Method and System for Providing Awareness of a Vehicle's Location and Heading - A method for providing awareness of a vehicle's location and heading may include determining a geographic location and heading of the vehicle and presenting a map corresponding to a geographical area where the vehicle is located. The method may also include presenting a predetermined symbol on the map representing the vehicle. The predetermined symbol defines a unique shape to provide substantially unambiguous awareness to an operator of a location of the vehicle and a heading of the vehicle. The predetermined symbol may include a symmetrical body symmetrical about the heading of the vehicle and including a predetermined length and width. | 04-16-2009 |
20100090869 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEPICTING VISUALLY PREDOMINANT FEATURES ON A FLIGHT DISPLAY - The system for presenting visual features to a pilot of an aerial vehicle contains a flight display. The flight display includes a display screen, a programmable device, an input device, and a memory. A plurality of visual features is contained in the memory. A plurality of feature characteristics is contained in the memory. Each of the feature characteristics is linked to at least one of the features. An environmental device communicates with the input device. The environmental device inputs an approximately present environmental condition of the aerial vehicle to the input device. The programmable device compares the approximately present environmental condition to the feature characteristics to determine which of the features stored in the memory to display on the flight display. | 04-15-2010 |
20100148991 | DYNAMIC DISPLAY OF NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION - A display system for dynamically displaying aircraft flight information. The system includes a processor, memory, and a display. The processor is capable of communicating with the memory, the display, and a system environment of the aircraft. The processor is configured to display a flight map for the aircraft on the display, to evaluate state variable(s) dynamically representing state(s) in the aircraft system environment, and dynamically modify the flight map based at least in part on the evaluation. | 06-17-2010 |
20100152923 | DYNAMIC DISPLAY OF NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION - A display system for dynamically displaying aircraft flight information. The system includes a processor, memory, and a display. The processor is capable of communicating with the memory, the display, and a system environment of the aircraft. The processor is configured to display a flight map for the aircraft on the display, to evaluate state variable(s) dynamically representing state(s) in the aircraft system environment, and dynamically modify the flight map based at least in part on the evaluation. | 06-17-2010 |

20090093953 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY DETERMINING AND DISPLAYING NAVIGATION INFORMATION - A method and system for dynamically evaluating a quantity of context sensitive information used by an operator of an airborne mobile platform in performing an operational procedure involving said mobile platform, and determining, in real time, a sub-quantity of context sensitive information that pertains to only that sub-quantity of information required by said operator to execute said operational procedure. The sub-quantity of information is then displayed on a display in real time for the operator. The method and system significantly eases the cognitive workload of the operator by enabling the operator to focus on and digest only that sub-quantity of information that is pertinent to performing the operational procedure with the specific type of mobile platform being operated. In one embodiment the sub-quantity of information pertains to minima information for performing an aircraft landing approach operation. | 04-09-2009 |
20110251786 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TERMINAL CHARTS, AIRPORT MAPS AND AERONAUTICAL CONTEXT DISPLAY - The present disclosure relates to an aircraft that may have a fuselage and a cockpit located within the fuselage. A display may be located within the cockpit, with the display being controlled by a display control system. The display control system may have a graphical user interface module that generates at least one of a primary display or a context display, and receives at least one user input, and an image control module. The image control module may generate primary display data for display on the primary display based on the at least one user input. The image control module may determine, based on the primary display data, whether the context display is displayed, and may automatically display the context display as an overlay in a corner portion of the primary display when the at least one user input causes a portion of information associated therewith to be unavailable for display on the primary display. | 10-13-2011 |
20150029045 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY DETERMINING AND DISPLAYING NAVIGATION INFORMATION - A method and system for dynamically evaluating a quantity of context sensitive information used by an operator of an airborne mobile platform in performing an operational procedure involving said mobile platform, and determining, in real time, a sub-quantity of context sensitive information that pertains to only that sub-quantity of information required by said operator to execute said operational procedure.
