US 12,626,603 B2 · System and method to integrate vehicle information for effective coordinated missions

Abstract

A method and system to integrate information in a coordinated mission of a group of user vehicles is provided. The method comprises storing a call sign in a database for each user vehicle, among the group of user vehicles, in the coordinated mission; and identifying a speaker vehicle among the user vehicles by comparing a call sign from parts of speech (POS) with the stored call signs. The method further comprises highlighting the identified speaker vehicle in a common display of each user vehicle; and determining whether the POS from the speaker vehicle contains a reference to a point of interest (POI). The method generates a graphical symbol for the POI when the POS from the speaker vehicle contains a reference to the POI, and tags the graphical symbol at a location of the POI in the common display of each user vehicle.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

storing a plurality of aviation call signs in a call sign database, each of the aviation call signs identifying a respective user aerial vehicle among a group of user aerial vehicles in a coordinated mission;
identifying a speaker vehicle among the user aerial vehicles by comparing the aviation call sign from parts of speech (POS) from the speaker vehicle with the stored aviation call signs;
highlighting the identified speaker vehicle in a common display of each user aerial vehicle;
determining whether the POS from the speaker vehicle contains a reference to a point of interest (POI);
generating a graphical symbol for the POI when the POS from the speaker vehicle contains a reference to the POI;
and
tagging the graphical symbol at a location of the POI in the common display of each user aerial vehicle.

4 more elements

A system to integrate information in a coordinated mission of a plurality of user aerial vehicles, the system comprising:

a communication unit that hosts a communication radio, and a user audio module;
a call sign database configured to store a plurality of aviation call signs identifying respective user aerial vehicles among the plurality of user aerial vehicles in the coordinated mission;
at least one processor in operative communication with the communication unit, the at least one processor hosting a plurality of processing modules comprising:
a speech-to-text converter module configured to receive audio signals from the communication radio and the user audio module, and convert the audio signals to corresponding text messages;
a keyword spotter and sentence segmentor module configured to receive the corresponding text messages from the speech-to-text converter module, the keyword spotter and sentence segmentor module operative to analyze the received text messages for selected words and to segment the text to provide parts of speech (POS) that include an aviation call sign and/or voice data;
a call sign extractor module configured to receive the segmented text from the keyword spotter and sentence segmentor module, the call sign extractor module operative to identify the aviation call sign from the segmented text and produce corresponding call sign data;
and
a speaker identification module configured to receive the call sign data and/or voice data from the call sign extractor module, the speaker identification module operative to identify a speaker vehicle among the user aerial vehicles by comparing the call sign data with the stored aviation call signs from the call sign database;
one or more onboard user vehicle systems in operative communication with the speaker identification module, the one or more onboard user vehicle systems configured to send vehicle state data to the speaker identification module;
a common display onboard each of the user aerial vehicles and in operative communication with the speaker identification module, the common display configured to receive identifying information for the speaker vehicle from the speaker identification module;
and
a graphical symbol database in operative communication with the common display onboard each of the user aerial vehicles.
