Abstract
A method of operating an aircraft interface device may comprise receiving a request for a data dictionary from an electronic flight bag application and transmitting the data dictionary to the electronic flight bag application. The data dictionary may comprise a mapping between a plurality of parameters associated with an aircraft and a plurality of parameter identifiers. Values of the parameters may be retrieved by the aircraft interface device. The method may also include receiving a request for values of one or more of the parameters from the electronic flight bag, retrieving values of the parameters, and transmitting the values of the parameters to the electronic flight bag application.
Claims20
A method of operating an aircraft interface device comprising:
- receiving, from an electronic flight bag application, a request for a data dictionary, wherein the data dictionary comprises a mapping between a plurality of parameters associated with an aircraft and a plurality of parameter identifiers, and wherein values of the parameters may be retrieved by the aircraft interface device;
- and
- transmitting the data dictionary to the electronic flight bag application.
A method of operating an electronic flight bag, comprising:
- transmitting, from an electronic flight bag application, a request for a data dictionary to an aircraft interface device, wherein the data dictionary comprises a mapping between a plurality of parameters associated with an aircraft and a plurality of parameter identifiers, and wherein values of the parameters may be retrieved by the aircraft interface device;
- and
- receiving the data dictionary from the aircraft interface device.
An aircraft interface device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more memory modules;
- and
- machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the aircraft interface device to:
- receive, from an electronic flight bag application, a request for a data dictionary, wherein the data dictionary comprises a mapping between a plurality of parameters associated with an aircraft and a plurality of parameter identifiers, and wherein values of the parameters may be retrieved by the aircraft interface device;
- and
- transmit the data dictionary to the electronic flight bag application.
