  • Publication number: 20210354845
    Abstract: A human-machine interface system enables interactions between aeronautical applications and aircraft control and display instruments. The human-machine interface system comprises an interface server communicating, by virtue of a common core protocol, with the aeronautical applications and control and display managers performing an abstraction of control and display instruments. The human-machine interface comprises application extension libraries providing an implementation of the common core protocol dedicated to each aeronautical application, as well as a display window definition dedicated to each aeronautical application. The human-machine interface comprises at least one control and display utility extension library providing an implementation of the common core protocol dedicated to the control and display managers. Hence, a flexible, portable and reusable architecture with easy extension and scalability opportunities is provided.

  • Patent number: 10216180
    Abstract: A flight management system architecture with separate core and supplementary modules. In the core module, generic functionalties relative to the flight management of the aircraft are implemented. In the supplementary module, supplementary functions are implemented. The supplementary functionalities include functionalties specific to an entity to which the aircraft belongs such as the specific aircraft model, a family of aircraft, a company, an alliance, and so on. The flight management system also includes a message exchange interface in which enables the core and supplementary modules to exchanges messages with each other. The core and supplementary modules includes corresponding core module and supplementary module interfacing functionaltities that respectively interface with generic and specific man-machine interfaces.

  • Patent number: 9709982
    Abstract: A flight management system with core and supplementary modules is proposed. The core module may include generic applications that implement generic functionalities related to a flight management of the aircraft. The supplementary module may include supplementary applications that implement supplementary functionalities specific to an entity to which the aircraft belongs. The supplementary module may be divided into principal and auxiliary partitions (or entities), and the supplementary applications, also referred to as principal applications, may be implemented in the principal partition. One or more auxiliary applications may be implemented in the auxiliary partition. Each auxiliary application may be associated with one or more principal applications such that the execution of the principal application requires the associated auxiliary application to be executed.

  • Patent number: 9529356
    Abstract: A system to manage transmissions of data between a flight management system (e.g., of an avionics type) of an aircraft and a portable electronic (e.g., of an open world type) is proposed. The data management system may be implemented in flight management system architecture with core and supplementary modules that are distinct from each other. The core module may implement a set of generic functionalities related to a flight management of the aircraft, and the supplementary module may implement supplementary functionalities specific to an entity to which the aircraft belongs. The data management system may comprise a data securing module that monitors data to be transmitted between the flight management system and the portable electronic device, and allows or prevents the data transmission based on the monitoring results.
