Avionics Verify Page for Downlink Message Modification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current aircraft communication systems require crew members to navigate back to individual request pages to modify downlink message elements, making the process inefficient and cumbersome, as modifications cannot be directly made on a verify page before message transmission.
Innovation Solution
A communication system that provides a verify page allowing crew members to review, modify, delete, or exclude downlink message elements before concatenating and transmitting them to ATC, incorporating options like delete, update, and not include directly on the verify page, streamlining the process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If crew members navigate back to individual request pages to modify downlink message elements, then modifications can be made to message elements, but the process becomes inefficient and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the verification function and modification function into a single verify page. The verify page displays all selected downlink message elements and allows crew members to modify them directly without navigating back to individual request pages. This merging of functions eliminates the need to switch between pages, thereby improving ease of operation and reducing time loss.
Solution Approach 2:
The verify page is designed as a multi-functional interface that serves both verification and modification purposes. It not only displays the concatenated downlink message elements for review but also provides edit capabilities, delete options, and update functions directly on the same page. This universal design allows crew members to perform multiple operations in one location, enhancing operational efficiency.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple request pages are used to enter downlink message elements, then comprehensive message elements can be collected, but the process becomes complex and requires navigating between pages
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple request pages into a single verify page that consolidates all downlink message elements. Instead of requiring crew members to navigate through multiple separate request pages to enter and then locate message elements for verification, the system presents all selected elements in one location with options to modify, delete, or update them directly on the verify page, thereby reducing process complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The verify page acts as an intermediary between the request pages and the final message transmission. It serves as a centralized interface where all downlink message elements from various request pages are gathered, displayed, and can be modified before being sent to ATC. This intermediary page simplifies the overall process by providing a single point of control for managing multiple message elements.

AI summary
Systems and methods for modifying multiple element request datalink messages in avionics system are provided. A method includes generating a plurality of downlink message element information at a verify screen displayed by a display. The method further allows for the changing of at least one downlink message element information of the plurality of downlink message element information within the verify screen. Moreover, the method concatenates the plurality of downlink message element information after the changing of the at least one element information in preparation of generating a concatenating downlink message element information message to be downlinked.
