SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING NON-INTEGRATED CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS (CPDLC) SYSTEMS ON AN AIRCRAFT
First Claim
1. A system for implementing a non-integrated FANS/ATN CPDLC solution, the system comprising:
- a first computing system executing a first CPDLC application;
a second computing system executing a second CPDLC application;
at least one Human Machine Interface (HMI) coupled to the first computing system and the second computing system, the Human Machine Interface configured to display screens generated by the first CPDLC application and configured to display screen generated by the second CPDLC application; and
a manager function that arbitrates Human Machine Interface access to the screens generated by the first CPDLC application and the screens generated by the second CPDLC application;
wherein the manager function restricts access to one or more of the screens generated by the first CPDLC application based on a logon status of the second CPDLC application;
wherein the manager function restricts access to one or more of the screens generated by the second CPDLC application based on a logon status of the first CPDLC application.

Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing non-integrated FANS/ATN CPDLC solutions are provided. In one embodiment a system comprises: a first computing system executing a first CPDLC application; a second computing system executing a second CPDLC application; at least one Human Machine Interface (HMI) coupled to the first computing system and the second computing system, the HMI configured to display screens generated by the first CPDLC application and the second CPDLC application; and a manager function that arbitrates HMI access to the screens generated by the first and second CPDLC applications. The manager function restricts access to one or more of the screens generated by the first CPDLC application based on a logon status of the second CPDLC application. The manager function restricts access to one or more of the screens generated by the second CPDLC application based on a logon status of the first CPDLC application.

11. A method for implementing a non-integrated FANS/ATN CPDLC solution, the method comprising:
-
arbitrating access between a first set of screens generated by a first CPDLC application executed on a first computing system and second set of screens generated by an second CPDLC application executed on a second computing system, wherein the first computing system is not integrated with the second computing system; wherein arbitrating access restricts access to one or more of the first set of screens generated by the first CPDLC application based on a logon status of the second CPDLC application; and wherein arbitrating access restricts access to one or more of the second set of screens generated by the second CPDLC application based on a logon status of the first CPDLC application. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable data storage device having computer executable code for a manager function that arbitrates Human Machine Interface access to screens generated by a first CPDLC application executed on a first computing system and screens generated by a second CPDLC application executed on a second computing system, the method comprising:
-
monitoring logon status information received from the second computing system; and restricting access via the Human Machine Interface to the screens generated by the first CPDLC application based on a logon status of the second CPDLC application as determined from the logon status information; wherein the first computing system and the second computing system are separate computing systems not integrated in a single computing system. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
