Patent number: 11347463Abstract: A system and method of operating a correlative display system for a plurality of display systems on an aircraft includes receiving, by a processor, an identification of a feature from a user interface associated with a first display system of the plurality of display systems. The processor determines a location of the identified feature relative to data displayed on each other display system of the plurality of display systems, wherein the identified feature is not previously displayed on at least one of the other display systems of the plurality of display systems. The processor generates instructions to highlight the identified feature on each other display system of the plurality of display systems at the determine location relative to data displayed on each other display system.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Thea Feyereisen, Rakshit Ramakrishna, Pramod Kumar Malviya, Bryan Weaver, Brock Graham, Gang He, Emmanuel Letsu-Dake, Rui Wang, Subash Samuthirapandian

Patent number: 10997769Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating an animated display for an aircraft. The method comprises receiving a user request for a change in a layer shown on a display that shows a view of the flight plan data for the aircraft. The user request is received by a user interface (UI) that is part of a map layer display system located onboard the aircraft. The system determines which specific layer corresponds to user request for a change to the display. When the user request is to add the layer to the display, the opaqueness of the layer increases from zero percent to one-hundred percent. When the user request is to remove the layer from the display, the opaqueness of the layer decreases from one-hundred percent to zero percent. Finally, the system generates instructions to display the layer at the opaqueness on the display.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Pramod Kumar Malviya, Thea Feyereisen, Gang He, Rui Wang

Patent number: 10176721Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying portions of a route on a coverage map that are non-compliant for a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) navigation system in an aircraft. A route compliance module defines a geodetic reference datum standard based on the GNSS navigation system. A navigation system database has compliance information corresponding to each of a plurality of airports. A flight management system determines the route of the aircraft and a visual display displays the route and the coverage map. The route compliance module identifies a non-compliant region of the coverage map that is not compliant with the geodetic reference datum standard based on the compliance information and adjusts the visual display to differentiate a non-compliant portion of the route extending within the non-compliant region of the coverage map.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2016Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Pramod Kumar Malviya, Pradeep Huncha, Vinay Somashekar, Sreenivasan Govindillam K, Nathan K, Anoop S, Sunitha Panchangam
