Solution Overview

Problem

Existing aviation interface components become unstable during aviation instability events such as turbulence, weather, landing, or takeoff, leading to unreadable information and impaired operator functionality.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for generating a stabilized aviation operations interface component by receiving aviation operations display data, capturing impact data from aircraft components, applying this data to an aviation stability adjustment model, and rendering a stabilized interface component with remapped touch zones to maintain operational effectiveness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If aviation interface components are used during instability events, then operational functionality is provided, but interface stability and readability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational functionalityVSAvoidinterface stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the interface component's position and orientation in real-time based on detected aircraft motion. Sensors capture instability data and the system remaps touch zones and repositions display elements to compensate for aircraft movement, maintaining interface stability during turbulence, landing, or takeoff events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a closed-loop feedback mechanism where sensors continuously monitor aircraft stability and feed this information back to the interface component. The system processes instability data and automatically adjusts display position, orientation, and touch zone locations to maintain operational functionality despite changing aircraft conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Stability of the object's composition

If aviation interface components remain fixed during instability events, then interface stability is maintained, but operational functionality and readability are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterface stabilityVSAvoidoperational functionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface component transitions from a static fixed position to a dynamic adaptive system. The display and touch zones are remapped in real-time based on aircraft motion, allowing the interface to maintain both stability and operational functionality by adjusting to instability events rather than remaining rigidly fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects instability events and self-adjusts the interface component's position, orientation, and touch zone locations without requiring manual intervention. The remapping process is autonomous, using sensor data to self-correct and maintain operational functionality during turbulence, landing, or takeoff.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If touch zones are remapped during instability events, then operational functionality is maintained, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational functionalityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces a software-based remapping layer that acts as an intermediary between the physical touch zones and their logical functions. During instability events, the system creates a virtual mapping that adjusts touch zone positions and display element locations, maintaining operational functionality without requiring physical hardware changes or complex mechanical adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
