Abstract
A display system for dynamically displaying aircraft flight information. The system includes a processor, memory, and a display. The processor is capable of communicating with the memory, the display, and a system environment of the aircraft. The processor is configured to display a flight map for the aircraft on the display, to evaluate state variable(s) dynamically representing state(s) in the aircraft system environment, and dynamically modify the flight map based at least in part on the evaluation.
Claims20
A dynamic display system for dynamically displaying navigational information, the system comprising a processor, memory, and a display;
- the processor capable of communicating with the memory, with the display, and with a system environment of a craft as to which the navigational information is displayed, the processor configured to:
- display a navigational map for the craft on the display;
- evaluate one or more state variables dynamically representing one or more states in the craft system environment;
- and
- dynamically modify the navigational map based at least in part on the evaluation.
A dynamic display system for dynamically displaying aircraft flight information, the system comprising a processor, memory, and a display;
- the processor capable of communicating with the memory, with the display, and with a system environment of an aircraft, the system environment including a plurality of states relating to systems of the aircraft, the processor configured to:
- display a flight map for the aircraft on the display;
- evaluate one or more state variables dynamically representing one or more of the states;
- and
- dynamically modify the displayed flight map based at least in part on the evaluation and one or more rules provided by a user of the dynamic display system relating to the one or more state variables.
A method of displaying aircraft flight information, the method performed by a dynamic display system including a processor in communication with memory and with a display, the method comprising;
- displaying a flight map for the aircraft;
- obtaining one or more rules specified by a user of the dynamic display system;
- accessing one or more state variables dynamically representing one or more states in a system environment of the aircraft, the accessing performed at least in part by executing instructions provided by the user of the dynamic display system;
- evaluating the one or more state variables relative to the one or more rules;
- and
- based on the evaluating, modifying the displayed flight map.
