SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEFINING AND RENDERING A TRAJECTORY
First Claim
1. A system for defining and rendering a trajectory of an aircraft, the system comprising:
- a processing system adapted to cause a three dimensional trajectory depiction to be rendered on a display device, wherein the three dimensional trajectory depiction includes at least one trajectory element indicator that corresponds to at least one trajectory element of a flight plan, and the processing system is further adapted to receive, from a user interface device, one or more user interface commands that indicate selection by a user of a selected trajectory element indicator and user-initiated movement of the selected trajectory element indicator from a first display position to a second display position, and wherein the processing system is further adapted to determine one or more modified characteristics of a trajectory element corresponding to the selected trajectory element indicator in response to the user-initiated movement, and to cause a modified trajectory depiction to be rendered, wherein the modified trajectory depiction includes the selected trajectory element indicator rendered at the second display position.

Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for defining and rendering a trajectory of an aircraft include a processing system that causes a three dimensional trajectory depiction to be rendered on a display device. The trajectory depiction includes at least one trajectory element indicator that corresponds to at least one trajectory element of a flight plan. The processing system also receives one or more user interface commands that indicate selection by a user of a selected trajectory element indicator and user-initiated movement of the selected trajectory element indicator from a first display position to a second display position. The processing system determines one or more modified characteristics of a trajectory element corresponding to the selected trajectory element indicator in response to the user-initiated movement, and causes a modified trajectory depiction to be rendered. The modified trajectory depiction includes the selected trajectory element indicator rendered at the second display position.

9. A method for defining and rendering a trajectory of an aircraft, the method comprising the steps of:
-
causing a three dimensional trajectory depiction to be rendered on a display device, wherein the three dimensional trajectory depiction includes one or more trajectory element indicators that correspond to one or more trajectory elements of a flight plan; receiving one or more user input commands from a user interface device, wherein the one or more user input commands indicate selection by a user of a selected trajectory element indicator of the one or more trajectory element indicators, and a user-initiated movement of the selected trajectory element indicator from a first display position to a second display position; determining one or more modified characteristics of a trajectory element corresponding to the selected trajectory element indicator in response to the user-initiated movement; and causing a modified trajectory depiction to be rendered on the display device, wherein the modified trajectory depiction includes the selected trajectory element indicator rendered at the second display position. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. The method of claim 20, wherein a user interface command indicating the user-initiated movement of the selected trajectory element indicator is generated in response to the user continuously applying the pressure to the display surface between the first display position and the second display position, and removing the pressure at the second display position.
