  • Patent number: 10549856
    Abstract: The control device of a communication system of an aircraft having a predefined number of communication channels comprises a processing unit and one or more sets of buttons each associated with a communication channel. The number of sets of buttons is less than the predefined number of communication channels of the communication system. The device comprises a set of call buttons comprising at least one transmission button, and a display area on a display screen, this display area being associated with the set of call buttons. The processing unit is configured to display an indication in the display area associated with the set of call buttons when the communication system receives a call on a channel with which no set of buttons is associated and to select this channel for transmission following an action of a user on the transmission button of the set of call buttons.

  • Patent number: 10518897
    Abstract: A method and device for displaying a symbology for assisting the piloting of an aircraft during a landing phase. The display device allows a crew to anticipate or avoid emission of a runway overrun warning, able to be emitted by a piloting assistance unit. The display device includes a display unit to display a symbology, a module for determining characteristics of the runway and an end of runway margin, a module for determining a run distance necessary for the aircraft to attain a run speed, when the piloting assistance unit operates in a first mode, a transmission module configured for transmitting a set of signals making it possible for the display unit to display a symbol representative of the run distance, at least one symbols representative of the characteristics of the runway and a symbol representative of the end of runway margin.

  • Patent number: 10241589
    Abstract: The control device of a communication system of an aircraft having a predefined number of communication channels comprises a processing unit and sets of buttons each associated with a communication channel and comprising a button for setting sound volume, a reception button and a transmission button. The number of sets of buttons is at least equal to two and less than the predefined number of communication channels of the communication system. The device comprises display areas on a display screen, a display area being associated with each set of buttons and provided to display at least the name of the communication channel associated with the set of buttons. The processing unit is configured to configure the association between each of the sets of buttons and the communication channel associated with this set of buttons according to actions of a user on at least one interactive element of the device.

  • Publication number: 20160357492
    Abstract: A display system and method including screens in a cockpit of an aircraft. A control unit is configured to command the display according to a normal display mode, wherein the control unit is configured so as to command the display such that subsequent to the occurrence of an event on board the aircraft leading to the display of an interactive element in an interaction window, the control unit commands the display of the interaction window on one of the screens of the screens at least while an action by an operator is required on the interactive element, and a reconfigured display mode, wherein the control unit is configured to command the display, on a second screen including a signaling area, of a display window that is normally displayed on a first screen in the normal display mode, and to command the display of an indicator in the signaling area if the interaction window is not displayed on a screen of the screens when an action by an operator is required on the interactive element.
