Timeline random access for multi-format time-based file recording and playback
First Claim
1. A random access recording method for recording and playing back of avionics data, comprising:
- a) storing data received from a plurality of data channels in respective data files;
b) storing timeline pointers that signify when the data from the respective plurality of data files was stored;
c) determining a particular position of a timeline icon provided on a graphical user interface (GUI) display, the timeline icon signifying a point in time that a user desires to review avionics data stored in step a); and
d) playing back data stored based on the particular position of the timeline icon with respect to corresponding values of the timeline pointers stored in step b).

Abstract
A random access recording method and system for recording and playing back of avionics data, includes: storing data received from a plurality of data channels in respective data files. The method and system also includes storing timeline pointers that signify when the data from the respective plurality of data files was stored. The method and system further includes determining a particular position of a timeline icon provided on a graphical user interface (GUI) display, the timeline icon signifying a point in time that a user desires to review avionics data stored. The method and system still further includes playing back data stored based on the particular position of the timeline icon with respect to corresponding values of the timeline pointers stored.
