Abstract

An aircraft guidance system includes a reviewing and video synchronization device connected to a display panel. The display panel receives and displays guidance status of an aircraft. The reviewing and video synchronization device includes an operator panel, a video recording unit and a built-in recording unit. The operator panel includes a display screen and a plurality of keys. The display screen and the display panel synchronizedly display information. The video recording unit records the information displayed on the display screen. The built-in recording unit records the scanning signals and time stamps received by the display panel.

Claims

1. A reviewing and video synchronization device for guiding an aircraft and connected to a display panel of an aircraft guiding system, wherein the aircraft guiding system scans an aircraft and returns a scanning signal, and the reviewing and video synchronization device comprises:

an operator panel having a display screen and a plurality of keys for inputting operation signals, wherein the display screen receives the scanning signal through a connection unit, the operator panel integrates the scanning signal and synchronizedly displays a guidance information at the display panel and the display screen

a video recording unit for recording the guidance information displayed on the display screen; and

a built-in recording unit for recording display information, including the guidance information and time stamps, transmitted through an output terminal of the display panel to the operator panel.

2. The reviewing and video synchronization device according to claim 1, wherein the operator panel further includes an image scanner for scanning information displayed on the display screen and provides the scanning to the video recording unit.

3. The reviewing and video synchronization device according to claim 1, wherein the operator panel further includes an emergency switch connected to the operator panel, for stopping operation during emergency.

4. The reviewing and video synchronization device according to claim 1, wherein the operator panel further includes a waterproof casing for enclosing the display screen, and the keys are disposed outside the waterproof casing.

5. The reviewing and video synchronization device according to claim 4 wherein the display screen is a touchscreen including a display region for displaying information displayed on the display panel, a touchscreen key region, and a supplemental information region for displaying additional information of the aircraft.

6. The reviewing and video synchronization device according to claim 5, wherein the additional information displayed in the supplemental information region includes at least one of the following information:

aircraft speed, aircraft offset distance, aircraft model, aircraft type, guidance status, and warning signal.

7. The reviewing and video synchronization device according to claim 1, further comprising a video camera arranged in front of the display panel for recording the display panel.

8. An aircraft guidance system having a reviewing and video synchronization ability, comprising:

a display panel;

a laser scanner for shooting a laser beam to detect an aircraft and returning a scanning signal;

an operator panel having a display screen and a plurality of keys for inputting operation signals, wherein the display screen receives the scanning signal through a connection unit, the operator panel integrates the scanning signal and synchronizedly displays a guidance information at the display panel and the display screen

a video recording unit for recording the guidance information displayed on the display screen; and

a built-in recording unit for recording display information, including the guidance information and time stamps, transmitted through an output terminal of the display panel to the operator panel.

9. The aircraft guidance system having a reviewing and video synchronization ability according to claim 8, wherein the operator panel further includes an image scanner for scanning information displayed on the display screen and provides the scanning to the video recording unit.

10. The aircraft guidance system having a reviewing and video synchronization ability according to claim 8, further comprising a video camera arranged in front of the display panel for recording the display panel.
