US 2010/0148002 A1 · Configurable Cockpit System Based On Design Parameters

Abstract

Disclosed is a configurable cockpit system based on design parameters, which comprises: a configurable cockpit which has an interface between a user and the cockpit, and various sub-systems for efficiently measuring design parameters; an interface for synchronizing configuration which converts the design parameters measured in the configurable cockpit to the cockpit design parameters for the CAD system, or converts the cockpit design parameters of the CAD system to the design parameters of the configurable cockpit; and cockpit design parameter database which accumulates cockpit design parameters and automatically modifies the CAD 3D configuration through automatic linking to the cockpit configuration template based on the cockpit design parameters.

A method for configuring the environment of a configurable cockpit based on design parameters, comprising the steps of:

manipulating various manipulators of the instruments in the cockpit by a user;
calculating arrangement data of the various instruments according to the data resulting from the manipulation;
setting the desired configuration of the configurable cockpit based on the calculated data;
displaying various design parameters on the numeric display according to the set configuration;
when the design parameters meet the needs of the user for the cockpit configuration, converting the design parameters to cockpit design parameters appropriate for the CAD system environment through the interface and algorithm for synchronizing configuration;
when the design parameters do not meet the needs of the user for the cockpit configuration, resetting the manipulator of the corresponding instrument of the configurable cockpit;
automatically linking the converted cockpit design parameters to the cockpit configuration template;
and
automatically generating the CAD 3D cockpit configuration according to the link and displaying the CAD system as a modified configuration.
