Abstract: A method of recognizing at least one avionics system command from a voice command includes receiving a plurality of voice command definitions, each voice command definition identifying at least one avionics system command and identifying at least one voice command template that is mapped to the at least one avionics system command; receiving the voice command as raw speech; generating recognized speech by converting the raw speech into text; determining a voice command template that corresponds to the recognized speech; selecting a voice command definition, from among the plurality of voice command definitions, that identifies the determined voice command template; determining, as the at least one recognized avionics system command, the at least one avionics system command identified by the selected voice command definition; and providing the at least one recognized avionics system command to a avionics system for execution.

Abstract: A method and system for interacting with the systems of an aircraft using touch screen technology that includes a human machine interface device for interacting with aircraft systems. The human machine interface including an input/display device configured to provide for navigating among graphical representations of a plurality of aircraft avionics systems via the common human machine interface; selecting an aircraft system via at least one of a touch gesture and a voice command input to the input/display device; inputting an instruction to the selected aircraft system; and outputting information via at least one of visual, aural, haptic and tactile channels.
