Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 Aircraft 100 is schematically illustrated in plan view. Aircraft 100 includes a cockpit designed to accommodate at least one pilot to operate aircraft 100 . In the cockpit, one or more pilots have control and display instruments such as cockpit display system CDS, multi-function control and display unit MCDU, controller-pilot data link communication unit CPDLC or electronic flight bag type portable equipment EFB. Additionally, the aircraft 100 is equipped with an avionics server 101 implementing aeronautical applications to assist one or more pilots in operating the aircraft 100 . For example, these aviation applications are related to flight management or controller-pilot communication.

[0021] In order to ensure the interaction between aviation applications and control and display instruments, aircraft 100 includes a human-machine interface system whose logic is arranged in figure 2 is schematically shown in .

Abstract

A human-machine interface system enables interaction between an aeronautical application (201a, 201b, 201c) and an aircraft control and display meter. The man-machine interface system comprises an interface server (200); the interface server communicates with an aviation application (201a, 201b, 201c) and an abstract control and display manager (202a, 202b) that executes the control and display meter via a common core protocol. The human machine interface includes an application extension library (203a, 203b, 203c) that provides implementation of a common core protocol dedicated to each aviation application (201a, 201b, 201c) and a display window definition dedicated to each aviation application (201a, 201b, 201c). The human machine interface includes at least one control and display utility extension library (204) that provides implementation of a common core protocol dedicated to control and display managers (202a, 202b). Thus, a flexible, portable, and reusable architecture with easy scalability and scalability opportunities is presented.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical field of the invention is the human-machine interface in aircraft. More specifically, the invention relates to an architecture for linking aviation applications to control and display instruments intended for pilots of aircraft. Background technique [0002] In an aircraft, the cockpit includes a number of control and display instruments. These include displays that enable the display of data from aviation applications, in particular flight assistance applications implemented by servers of aircraft avionics. The console also enables the input of commands (such as special keys) or character strings (such as a keyboard), in particular to parameterize these applications or to change the context shown on the screen or display. For example, reference can be made to a glass cockpit, often denoted by the acronym CDS (cockpit display system), or a multifunction control and display unit (denoted by the acronym MCDU), or CPDLC (controller-pilot d...
