Abstract
A management of the elements of the context of one or more flight plans is provided. The systems, methods and computer programs allowing real-time collaborative work on and around one or more flight plans between multiple remote systems are provided. A first system comprises receiving a modification, made on a second system, to a flight plan and to a set of associated objects or to another set of non-associated objects, displaying the modification and, if the modification is validated, returning the modification, as applied to the first system, to the second system to ensure uniformity around the collaborative navigation space between remote parties.
Claims17
A first system comprising:
- at least one display device configured so as to display a set of objects comprising a reference flight plan of an aircraft and at least one environment object or context object;
- at least one input interface;
- at least one communication port configured so as to communicate with at least one second system;
- at least one computing unit configured, upon receipt, via the at least one communication port, of a message indicating a first description of a modification to the set of objects, so as to:
- generate a display of the modification;
- and
- send, via the at least one communication port, in response to a validation of the modification via the at least one input interface, a message to the at least one second system containing
- a second description of said modification.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, via at least one communication port of a first system, configured so as to communicate with at least one second system, a message indicating a first description of a modification to a set of objects comprising a reference flight plan of an aircraft and at least one environment object or context object;
- displaying the modification on at least one display device of the first system;
- sending, via the at least one communication port, in response to a validation of the modification via the at last one input interface, a message to the at least one second system containing a second description of said modification.
A computer program product comprising program code instructions stored on a computer-readable medium of a computer, the program code instructions being configured, when the computer program product is executed on the computer, so as to cause the computer to:
- receive, via at least one communication port of a first system, configured so as to communicate with at least one second system, a message indicating a first description of a modification to a set of objects comprising a reference flight plan of an aircraft and at least one environment object or context object;
- display the modification on at least one display device of the first system;
- send, via the at least one communication port, in response to a validation of the modification via the at last one input interface, a message to the at least one second system containing a second description of said modification.
