  • Patent number: 11048079
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for display and interaction with an aircraft control system, intended for an aircraft pilot, embedded in a cockpit of the aircraft. The method is implemented by a system for display and interaction including a first so-called head-down man-machine interface and a second so-called head-up man-machine interface. The method includes determining a line of sight of the pilot, receiving a command to enter the frozen display mode and keeping at least part of the display on the second man-machine interface in a frozen position, independently of the pilot's line of sight, then displaying at least one complementary man-machine interface element, as a function of the pilot's line of sight, in at least one free area of the cockpit, and displaying a cursor representative of the pilot's line of sight.

  • Patent number: 10914955
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a graphical human-machine interface, includes the steps of receiving information relating to the position of the eyes and the gaze direction of a user at the interface; receiving physiological information of the user; determining a level of cognitive load on the basis of the received physiological information; adjusting the display of the interface on the basis of the gaze direction and/or of the determined level of cognitive load. Some developments describe the management of the display zones (foveal zone and peripheral zones), the selection of one or more displays, the management of the distance from the message display to the current gaze location, the management of the criticality of the messages, various graphical techniques for attracting attention, the management of the flight context in the avionic case, the management of visual density, etc. Some system aspects are described (virtual and/or augmented reality).

  • Patent number: 10847145
    Abstract: The invention relates to a voice recognition implemented in a carrier aircraft cockpit, for recognizing aircraft indicators used in operational audio messages received in or sent by the carrier aircraft. The system includes a computing device suitable implementing modules for: providing the aircraft indicator of the carrier aircraft, determining adjacent aircraft indicators located in a current air traffic control zone, updating and storing a voice recognition grammar of aircraft indicators from the carrier aircraft indicator and at least some of the adjacent aircraft indicators, voice recognition engine for audio messages received or sent using the stored aircraft indicator voice recognition grammar.

  • Publication number: 20180060298
    Abstract: An avionics system comprises an analysis system for analysing the data input, arranged so as to ensure the following functionalities: recognition of the characteristics of each datum and creation of a raw alphanumeric datum; decomposition of the raw alphanumeric datum into numerical values and into referenced parameters or into unreferenced information or into unutilizable information; verification of the consistency of the information emanating from the raw alphanumeric datum; transformation of the raw alphanumeric datum into utilizable alphanumeric datum; the alphanumeric data being displayed in a data “cloud” on the viewing device, the data being able to be selected, modified or moved by the interaction means.

  • Publication number: 20170287467
    Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of systems for segregating audio messages in a cockpit of a first aircraft. Said system comprises: means for receiving and recording audio messages; a database of keywords for the audio messages; means for recognizing of keywords in the audio messages; means for separating the audio messages as a function of said keywords; means for ranking the messages according to an order of priority; means for processing the audio messages according to said order of priority; means for transmitting the messages processed according to said order of priority; means for listening to the audio messages.

  • Publication number: 20160098183
    Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of methods for managing communications symbols in a viewing system including an associated viewing device comprising a touch surface and controlling, managing and displaying means. The interactor has three states that are a passive state, an active state and a state for setting one of the parameters of the communication. Said displaying and managing method comprises at least the following steps to apply a setting: Step 1: on a first tactile stress, causing an interaction zone of oblong shape and an icon representative of the possible setting choices to appear; Step 2: by holding and moving the tactile stress in the direction of the length of the interaction zone, selecting a given setting; and Step by stopping the tactile stress, validating the new setting and causing the icon and the interaction zone to disappear.

  • Patent number: 9292159
    Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of methods for displaying the steps of a mission or of a flight plan of an aircraft on a screen of a display device. The different steps of the method are displayed in a first graphical window comprising a time scale or “timeline”, the different steps being displayed opposite the schedule corresponding to their accomplishment. This window can be associated with a cartographic view of the flight plan. It can comprise a “magnifier” function.
