Aircraft dialog device, through which a dialog with a system of said aircraft is possible
First Claim
1. A device for dialog between at least one operator of an aircraft and at least one system of said aircraft, said device including:
- (a) at least two interactive windows for being displayed on at least one screen, and each of which includes at least one responsive object which is associated with one of multiple functions, said functions for being initiated by said dialog device under the action of the operator so that they are executed;
(b) at least one cursor control device for being controlled by said operator, and which includes;
at least one actuatable displacement means for displacing a cursor on said interactive windows, in order to designate a responsive object; and
at least one actuatable confirmation means for confirming a responsive object which is designated using said cursor, in order to initiate execution of the function which is associated with said responsive object; and
(c) at least one keyboard including keys which enable said operator to enter alphanumeric data into said system, wherein;
said means for displacing the cursor control device causes a continuous displacement of the cursor on the windows, under the action of said operator, and said keyboard includes additionally;
at least one cursor displacement key, making it possible to cause a discrete displacement of the cursor, responsive object by responsive object, on a specified window;
at least one auxiliary displacement key, making it possible to displace the cursor from window to window; and
at least one confirmation key, making it possible to confirm a responsive object which is designated by said cursor, in order to initiate execution of the function which is associated with said responsive object.

12. A device for dialog between at least one operator of an aircraft and at least one system of said aircraft, said dialog device including:
-
multiple screens and at least two interactive windows for being displayed on at least one screen, and at least some of said multiple screens have at least one interactive window, and each of which includes at least one responsive object which is associated with one of multiple functions, said functions for being initiated by said dialog device under the action of the operator so that they are executed;
at least one cursor control device for being controlled by said operator and which includes;
at least one actuatable displacement means for displacing a cursor on said interactive windows, in order to designate a responsive object; and
at least one actuatable confirmation means for confirming a responsive abject which is designated using said cursor in order to initiate execution of the function which is associated with said responsive object; and
at least one keyboard including keys which enable said operator to enter alphanumeric data into said system and are associated with certain of said system functions and make it possible, when they are operated, to displace the cursor directly onto the responsive object which is associated with the function key which is operated, irrespective of the screen on which said responsive object is displayed, wherein;
said means for displacing the cursor control device causes a continuous displacement of the cursor on the windows, under the action of said operator, and said keyboard includes additionally;
at least one cursor displacement key, making it possible to cause a discrete displacement of the cursor, responsive object by responsive object, on a specified window;
at least one auxiliary displacement key, making it possible to displace the cursor from window to window; and
at least one confirmation key, making it possible to confirm a responsive object which is designated by said cursor, in order to initiate execution of the function which is associated with said responsive object.

13. A device for dialog between at least one operator of an aircraft and at least one system of said aircraft, said dialog device including:
-
at least two interactive windows which can be displayed on at last one screen, each of maid interactive windows is divided into multiple fields, and each of said interactive windows and each of said fields include at least one responsive object which is associated with one of multiple functions, said functions for being initiated by said dialog device under the action of the operator so that they are executed;
at least one cursor control device for being controlled by said operator and which includes;
at least one actuatable displacement means for displacing a cursor on said interactive windows, in order to designate a responsive object; and
at least one actuatable confirmation means for confirming a responsive object which is designated using said cursor, in order to initiate execution of the function which is associated with said responsive object; and
at least one keyboard including keys which enable said operator to enter alphanumeric data into said system, wherein;
said means for displacing the cursor control device causes a continuous displacement of the cursor on the windows, under the action of said operator, and said keyboard includes additionally;
