Air control supporting system
First Claim
1. An air control supporting system for supporting air control services of a plurality of air control service staff members who carry out terminal radar control services and routing control services, previously distributed and related to each other, comprising:
- a plurality of control seat terminal devices provided respectively for control seats of said plurality of control service staff members, each including an instruction input device for inputting an information request instruction for requesting information regarding an arbitrary airplane to be controlled, and an information transfer instruction for transferring information of an airplane, including information concerning a completed control service, to another seat, and an information display device for displaying said input information regarding said airplane to be controlled in a predetermined format;
information obtaining and managing means for obtaining necessary information for the control services of said plurality of control service staff members, one after another, for each airplane to be controlled, so as to form a database of information regarding each airplane to be controlled;
time schedule management means for managing a time schedule for each airplane to be controlled;
information processing means for reading out necessary information of corresponding airplanes to be controlled, from the information obtaining and managing means on the basis of a time schedule managed by said time schedule management means, and for reading out the information of a designated airplane when there is an information request instruction or an information transfer instruction from any one of said plurality of instruction input device, so as to edit the information in a predetermined format as a control service strip information; and
information output means for outputting the control service strip information on the basis of the time schedule obtained by said information processing means, to information display devices of associated ones of said plurality of control service terminal devices, outputting the control service strip information on the basis of the information request instruction to the information display device of the control seat terminal device via which that information request instruction was input, and outputting control service strip information on the basis of the information transfer instruction to the information display device of a designed control seat terminal device, and deleting the control service information of the corresponding airplanes to be controlled from the information display device of the control seat terminal device from which the information transfer instruction was input.

Abstract
A user interface apparatus for an electronic operation strip control system for supporting control services by presenting electronic operation strips used in airport control to a plurality of controllers who carry out airport terminal radar control services and entering control services previously distributed and associated with each other, including an information display device and an instruction input device provided for each controller. Operation strip control information items necessary for respective distributed control services are obtained and inputted into an information processing section, where the items are edited and processed in correspondence with the distributed control services and in accordance with contents of instructions from an instruction input device. Thereafter, the processed operation strip control information items are displayed on an information display device of a corresponding control seat, in accordance with instructions from the instruction input device, and simultaneously, operation strip control information items of related control services including operation strip control information items of the other control services are displayed on the same screen. It is therefore possible to reduce loads to controllers, to supply instructions more accurately and rapidly, and to enable visual communication between pilots and controllers.
