Display system and method including a stimuli-sensitive multi-function display with consolidated control functions
First Claim
1. A display system, comprising:
- a first display device configured to selectively render a first cursor and a second cursor thereon; and
a multi-function display (MFD) separate from, and in operable communication with, the first display device, the MFD comprising;
a stimuli-sensitive display screen;
a first Cursor Control Device (CCD) at least selectively within a first area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, the first CCD configured to generate a first signal, in response to a first input that is sensed in the first area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, for controlling the first cursor on the first display device;
a second CCD within a third area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, the second CCD configured to generate a second signal, in response to a second input that is sensed in the third area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, for controlling the second cursor on the first display device; and
an avionics display at least selectively rendered within a first sub-area of a second area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen,wherein the stimuli-sensitive display screen is configured to selectively display (i) the first cursor in the second area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, and (ii) the second cursor in a fourth area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen.

Abstract
According to an example embodiment, display system includes a first display device and a multi-function display (MFD). The first display device is configured to selectively render a first cursor thereon. The MFD is separate from, and is in operable communication with, the first display device. The MFD includes a stimuli-sensitive display screen. A first CCD is at least selectively within a first area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, and is configured to generate a first signal, in response to a first input that is sensed in the first area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen, for controlling the first cursor on the first display device. An avionics display is at least selectively rendered within in a first sub-area of a second area of the stimuli-sensitive display screen.
