Abstract
Various navigation and other instrumentation systems may benefit from appropriate methods for selection of traffic. For example, certain avionics may benefit from systems and methods for selecting and designating ADS-B or similar traffic. An apparatus can include a display and a processor. The processor and the display can be configured to permit selection of at least one target aircraft identified on the display.
Claims21
An apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor and the display are configured to
- permit selection of at least one target aircraft identified on the display;
- and
- indicate the selection on the display through a combination of symbols for each target aircraft selected, wherein the processor and the display are configured to indicate the selection by displaying, for each selected aircraft, a set of relatively offset multiple nearly co-located icons, such that the set of multiple nearly co-located icons appear as a combined symbol.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor and the display are configured to
- permit selection of at least one target aircraft identified on the display;
- and
- indicate the selection on the display through a combination of symbols for each target aircraft selected, wherein the processor and the display are configured to indicate the selection by, for each selected aircraft, repeatedly changing a symbol associated with the selected aircraft.
4 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor and the display are configured to
- permit selection of at least one target aircraft identified on the display;
- and
- indicate the selection on the display through a combination of symbols for each target aircraft selected, wherein the processor and the display are configured to present a list of target aircraft, wherein the selection of the at least one target aircraft is from the list of target aircraft.
4 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor and the display are configured to
- permit selection of at least one target aircraft identified on the display;
- and
- temporarily remove from the display all the other targets than the selected aircraft, wherein the processor and the display are further configured to alter an appearance of the selected aircraft.
4 more elements
A method, comprising:
- permitting selection of at least one target aircraft identified on a display;
- and
- indicating the selection on the display through a combination of symbols for each target aircraft selected, wherein the processor and the display are configured to indicate the selection by displaying, for each selected aircraft, a set of relatively offset multiple nearly co-located icons, such that the set of multiple nearly co-located icons appear as a combined symbol.
