  • Patent number: 11447013
    Abstract: A display pushbuttons system (DPS), network, and methods of using the same. The DPS connects to a vehicle controller area network (CAN) bus accessing and controlling vehicle functions. The DPS includes selectively activatable display pushbuttons. The DPS can be configured to display graphics stored in a memory on the display pushbutton screens. The DPS can be operated in active mode or passive mode. In active mode, a controller on the DPS receives CAN messages from vehicle function CAN nodes and can use that information to update the image, color, or brightness of the corresponding display pushbutton screens. In addition, activating a display pushbutton may alter a vehicle characteristic or function. In passive mode, the DPS control logic is provided elsewhere on the vehicle CAN bus by a node with access to the CAN dbc file and the DPS object so the DPS can be controlled.

  • Patent number: 11422370
    Abstract: Head mounted displays (HMD) and corresponding display methods are provided, which obtain, repeatedly, from a monitoring system of a vehicle and, a reference vector relating to the vehicle; display on the HMD a reference symbol that indicates the reference vector; and determine movements of a HMD symbology according to a spatial relation between a received user's line of sight (LOS) and the reference vector. For example, the vehicle may be an aircraft and the reference vector a flight path vector (FPV) received from the aircraft's avionics. The proposed HMD enhances the displayed information content while avoiding excessive movements of the symbology. The HMD's functional parameters may be pre-set or adapted according to user preference and flight stage characteristics. The reference symbol anchors most of the symbology, while minimal critical information may be moved along with the user's LOS, providing a clearer and more stable view through the HMD.
