Abstract
Systems and methods for providing augmented information for vehicle multi-function display electronics are provided. In one a method for providing augmented information for vehicle multi-function display (MFD) electronics comprises: receiving via a downlink communication, a vehicle profile comprising an MFD Profile descriptive of how a pilot is currently utilizing a cockpit MFD; determining whether an MFD map application is displaying information on the cockpit MFD based on the MFD Profile; when the MFD map application is determined to be displaying information on the cockpit MFD: defining a set of potential information enhancements based on the vehicle profile; collecting information corresponding to the set of potential information enhancements from one of more data sources; transmitting an uplink communication comprising an Augmented Map Profile, wherein the Augmented Map Profile comprises the information corresponding to the set of potential information enhancements.

21. A method for providing augmented information for vehicle multi-function display (MFD) electronics, the method comprising:
-
building, by an on-board vehicle processor, an MFD profile descriptive of how a pilot is currently utilizing a cockpit MFD; and transmitting the MFD profile from the on-board vehicle processor to a ground station component in a downlink communication as a vehicle profile; receiving the vehicle profile at a ground station via the downlink communication; determining whether an MFD map application is displaying information on the cockpit MFD based on the MFD profile; and when the MFD map application is determined to be displaying information on the cockpit MFD; defining a set of potential information enhancements from one or more data sources; and transmitting an uplink communication comprising an augmented map profile, wherein the augmented map profile comprises the information corresponding to the set of potential information enhancements. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
