  • Publication number: 20230343112
    Abstract: An electronic system for monitoring the state of awareness of an operator in a control station of an aircraft. The monitoring system includes a module for receiving a datum from at least two sensors onboard the aircraft, at least one of the sensors being called a worn sensor being in physical contact with the operator and at least one of the sensors being called an off-set sensor being at a distance from the operator, a processing module configured for extracting from each datum at least one parameter representative of the state of awareness of the operator, a fusion module configured for receiving the representative parameters and implementing a machine learning method for determining, depending on the representative parameters, whether the operator is in a nominal or an altered state of awareness.

  • Patent number: 10055116
    Abstract: A graphic interaction method for piloting an aircraft, comprises receiving an indication of an object selected on a display screen of the aircraft; determining one or more flight plan revisions of the aircraft associated with the selected object and displaying one or more of said flight plan revisions; receiving an indication of selection of a displayed revision; determining a revision type associated with the revision displayed and selected; and as a function of the revision type determined, displaying a tactile interface data entry graphic symbol. Developments notably concern the symbology used, the validation or the modification of a selected revision, the taking account of the flight context, the taking account of the speed of manipulation of the tactile interface, etc. System and software aspects are described. In particular, the human-machine interface may be exclusively of tactile type.

  • Patent number: 9626873
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program for providing, on a human-machine interface, data relating to an aspect of the operation of an aircraft and grouped into one and the same area of the interface, the method comprising the following steps. A step of detecting a request to display an aspect of the operation of the aircraft. The method also includes a step of computing a flight situation and generating a consolidated aeroplane situation. A step of associating the elementary data linked to the consolidated aeroplane situation to extract therefrom updated situational data. The method then includes a step of grouping the updated situational data into a plurality of sub-sets to allow display of the data in the display area. Finally the method includes a step of displaying, in the display area, the sub-sets of data.

  • Publication number: 20170032576
    Abstract: A method for managing the flight of an aircraft comprises the steps of determining a flight context; selecting, as a function of the flight context determined, one or more display parameters and displaying one or more graphically selectable labels on a representation of at least one part of the flight of the aircraft, the representation being displayed on at least one screen in the cockpit of the aircraft; receiving indication of the selection of one or more labels and, in response to the selection, modifying the display of the representation of at least one part of the flight of the aircraft. Developments describe the provision of documentary resources, the use of display parameters and/or rules (e.g. sites and priorities). System aspects (e.g. augmented and/or virtual reality for increasing the addressable display area, feedback loop by gaze tracking) as well as software aspects (control of visual density) are described.

  • Patent number: 9530322
    Abstract: A method implemented by computer for the management of the flight of an aircraft comprises the steps of receiving flight directives and flight information associated with these directives; determining a flight context of the aircraft; as a function of the context determined, selecting information from among that associated with the formulation of a directive and/or with a current flight directive and/or with a change of a flight directive; sensorially restoring the selected information. Various developments are described, notably links to documentary resources, the determination of anomalies, the use of predefined logic rules and configuration options. System aspects and software aspects are described.

  • Patent number: 9494945
    Abstract: A device and method for flight management of an aircraft along a flight plan comprises a plurality of waypoints comprising a computation of the temporal predictions determining the temporal situation of the aircraft for each waypoint of the flight plan, a temporal situation of the aircraft being defined by at least one set of information from among the group comprising the target time of transit at each waypoint the estimated minimum and maximum times of arrival at each waypoint, the estimated time of transit at the waypoint, and a formatting and display simultaneously presenting the temporal situations of the said plurality of waypoints.

  • Publication number: 20160083107
    Abstract: An alert management method implemented by a flight management system for triggering alerts during flight of an aircraft, using a look-up table associating, with each alert, at least one flight parameter and establishing, for each alert and the associated flight parameter, a correspondence between the value of the associated parameter and a plurality of predefined ordered priority levels. The method comprises when an alert is triggered: loading a value of the associated flight parameter, as a function of the state of the aircraft in real time, determining the priority level of the current alert out of the plurality, the priority level being determined by the value and from the look-up table; at regular time intervals and for each active alert, reiterating the preceding steps to determine, for each active alert, an associated priority level that is a function of the state of the aircraft in real time.

  • Publication number: 20140172204
    Abstract: A method and a device is provided for supplying, in summary fashion on a single page of a screen for each point, the data relating to a flight plan. The method makes it possible to establish relevant groups of information according to the situation of the flight and to summarize the display of the data in folded-up mode or in an unfolded lateral mode. The unfolded display offers, on one and the same page, a more precise detail of the situation, by ergonomically and intuitively showing in the columns the predictions in relation to a type of constraint.
