  • Patent number: 10540898
    Abstract: A dynamic human machine interface system includes a mission commander application (MCA) unit including a control processor, the MCA active on one vehicle of a plurality of mission member vehicles, the MCA unit in communication with a data store, the control processor accessing executable instructions that cause the control processor to direct operations of components of the MCA unit, an alternate scenario evaluation unit accessing at least one of mission parameter records and flight member data records in the data store to recalculate mission parameters, a dynamic video interface unit to render the recalculated mission parameters on a mission control dashboard (MCD), the MCD presented to the mission commander on a display unit of the one vehicle, the MCD including a plurality of display pane areas selectable by a user interaction with an interactive interface, and each display area configurable by the user interaction to change content of the display pane.

  • Patent number: 10252815
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a cockpit of an aircraft includes receiving, by one or more controllers, an image depicting an operator manipulated input device located within the cockpit. The method can include determining, by the one or more controllers, an observed state of the operator manipulated input device. In particular, the observed state can be based on the image. The method can include determining, by the one or more controllers, a sensed state of the operator manipulated input device. In particular, the sensed state can be based on data from a sensor. The method can include determining, by the one or more controllers, a mismatch between the observed and sensed states of the operator manipulated input device.

  • Publication number: 20170345318
    Abstract: A system is provided that includes a controller including one or more processors disposed onboard an aircraft. The controller is configured to be operably connected to multiple subsystems on the aircraft. The controller receives operating parameters from one or more of the subsystems during a flight of the aircraft. The controller is configured to analyze the operating parameters to determine an abnormal operating condition of the aircraft. The controller is further configured to transmit a display message to a display device onboard the aircraft. The display message provides multiple responsive actions to the abnormal operating condition. The responsive actions are prioritized on the display device to indicate to the flight crew that one or more of the responsive actions are recommended over one or more other responsive actions in the display message.

  • Publication number: 20170045361
    Abstract: Example systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for displaying a map of a multi-floor building are presented. In one example, a view may be generated for display. The view may include a first floor map of a building displayed at an angle perpendicular to a display of a plurality of floor maps of the building arranged in parallel according to position within the building. During the display of the view, a user selection of an individual feature of the first floor map may be received. In response to the user selection, the display of the view is modified to include information corresponding to the selected feature. The modifying of the view ma include scanning across the view to the selected feature, and zooming in the view to the selected feature.

  • Patent number: 9488481
    Abstract: Example systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for displaying a map of a multi-floor building are presented. In one example, a first view may be presented for display. The first view may include a floor map of each of multiple floors of a building. The floor maps may be arranged in parallel according to position within the building and displayed at an angle between perpendicular to the floor maps and parallel to the floor maps. During the presenting for display of the first view, a user selection of a first one of the floor maps may be received. In response to the user selection, an animation from the first view to a second view may be presented for display. The second view may display the first one of the floor maps at an angle perpendicular to the first one of the floor maps.

  • Publication number: 20160113592
    Abstract: A system and method for acquisition setup and anatomy landmarking for MRI systems are described. A gesture sensing input device generates user motion data. A gesture application identifies a gesture based on the user motion data. A display device displays patient setup information in response to the gesture. An acquisition application generates a setup for an MRI system for a patient based on the gesture and the user motion data.

  • Publication number: 20130030825
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated triage and scheduling in an emergency department are described. An example computer-implemented method of automatically triaging and scheduling patients in an emergency department includes associating a patient with an identification bracelet and processing the patient using a patient evaluation device. The processing includes obtaining patient data with the patient evaluation device and dynamically determining a risk level associated with the patient based on the patient data obtained. The method also includes automatically prioritizing and scheduling the patient with a healthcare practitioner based on the risk level determined.
