  • Patent number: 12682768
    Abstract: An electronic device configured to generate a flight plan for an aircraft. The device may include a display module configured for displaying two flight plans simultaneously and for each flight plan. The display may be configured for viewing, the common elements and distinct elements with regard to the other flight plan. Further, the device may include an acquisition module configured for acquiring a copy command. Additionally, the device may include a copying module configured for copying at least one of the distinct elements from one of the two flight plans to the other flight plan based on the copy command. Moreover, the device may include a processing module configured for generating a new flight plan based on the target flight plan and the distinct element or elements which were copied.

  • Patent number: 11424927
    Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating avionic data to a non-avionic device situated outside of the cockpit of an aircraft are provided. A method may comprise the steps of receiving a request, aimed at receiving avionic data from avionic systems, from a non-avionic client device; determining the distance between the non-avionic device and the cockpit of the aircraft; and adjusting the sending of data in response to the request depending on the determined distance. Developments of the invention describe the use of a wireless access point associated with a secure gateway determining the access rights to the avionic data for the non-avionic device, various sending and/or display adjustments depending notably on the distance, threshold management, various indoor positioning techniques, unilateral or bilateral communications, various notifications, the use of lightweight connected clients (for example earpiece, watch, glasses, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20200027378
    Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating avionic data to a non-avionic lightweight client device, a method includes, for example, the steps of: receiving avionic data from a plurality of avionic systems modifying the received avionic data, by adding or deleting or fusing data; displaying the modified data on one or more non-avionic lightweight clients. Developments describe the use of a wireless access point associated with a secure gateway, multiplexed communications, data sending and/or display adjustments depending on target resources, display distributions, capturing the subjective view of the wearer of the non-avionic device using a worn camera, or cooperation between flight crew members. The lightweight clients may be connected objects (for example earpiece, watch, telephone, tablet, glasses, etc.). Some software aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20200026272
    Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating avionic data to a non-avionic device, the method includes the steps of: receiving a flight command from a non-avionic lightweight client; determining or receiving physiological data (for example gaze tracking, heart rate, breathing rate, etc.) and/or biometric data associated with the wearer of the non-avionic lightweight client; making the insertion of the flight command into an avionic system conditional on the meeting of predefined conditions relating to the physiological and/or biometric data. Developments describe the use of distance and/or path between lightweight client and cockpit, physiological parameter management, the management of flight commands in a plurality of elementary requests, notification techniques and/or audio and/or visual rendering on various lightweight clients (for example earpiece, watch, telephone, tablet, glasses, etc.). Some software aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20180365265
    Abstract: Various methods for regulating and/or for integrating avionic systems with non-avionic or open systems are described. Developments of the invention describe in particular various methods for synchronizing data via a sharing space, methods for modifying the data, human-machine interactions, steps of optimizing calculations and bandwidth, of determining alerts relating to the risks associated with calculation differences, and mechanisms for securing the secured storage space. Software and system aspects are described (EFB and FMS).
