Management interfaces for aircraft systems
First Claim
1. A method for managing a plurality of systems of an aircraft through a dedicated interface, the method comprising:
- at least one global visualization interface implemented using at least one hardware processor;
displaying at least one or more graphic object representing at least one or more aircraft system, wherein the at least one or more graphic object is displayed on the at least one global visualization interface in reference to a physical location of the at least one or more aircraft system on the aircraft;
displaying, separately from the at least one or more graphic object representing at least one or more aircraft system, at least one or more insert associated with the at least one aircraft system, wherein the at least one or more insert provides system status information about the at least one aircraft system on the insert, and wherein the system status information comprises contextual and/or supplemental information for providing additional systems information during different phases of a flight;
displaying at least one or more energy flow icon representing a direction of circulation of an energy flow;
accessing a system management interface of the at least one or more aircraft system by performing a user interaction with the at least one or more graphic object; and
initializing a safeguard mechanism configured to prevent the at least one or more aircraft system from executing an inappropriate operating procedure;
wherein initializing the safeguard mechanism comprises requesting, by the at least one or more aircraft system, a confirmation to take action to prevent the at least one or more aircraft system from executing the inappropriate operating procedure, and displaying the confirmation to take action over the at least one or more graphic object on the at least one global visualization interface.

11. A system for managing a plurality of aircraft systems, the system comprising:
-
at least one dedicated global visualization interface for managing one or more aircraft systems and comprising a hardware processor, the at least one interface comprising; at least one or more graphic object representing at least one or more functions realized by the considered system, wherein the at least one or more graphic object is displayed on the at least one global visualization interface in reference to a physical location of the one or more aircraft systems on the aircraft; at least one or more insert associated with the at least one aircraft system, the one or more insert being displayed separately from the at least one or more graphic object representing at least one or more aircraft system wherein the at least one or more insert provides system status information about the at least one aircraft system on the insert, and wherein the system status information comprises contextual and/or supplemental information for providing additional systems information during different phases of a flight; at least one or more energy flow icon representing a direction of circulation of an energy flow; and a safeguard mechanism configured to be initialized in order to prevent the at least one or more aircraft system from executing an inappropriate operating procedure, wherein the safeguard mechanism comprises a confirmation to take action that is configured to be requested, by the at least one or more aircraft system, and displayed over the at least one or more graphic object on the at least one global visualization interface. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
-
at a global visualization interface for managing a plurality of aircraft systems and in association with a hardware processor; displaying at least one or more graphic object representing at least one aircraft system, wherein the at least one or more graphic object is displayed on the at least one global visualization interface in reference to a physical location of the at least one aircraft system on the aircraft; displaying, separately from the at least one or more graphic object representing at least one or more aircraft system, at least one or more insert associated with the at least one aircraft system, wherein the at least one or more insert provides system status information about the at least one aircraft system on the insert, and wherein the system status information comprises contextual and/or supplemental information for providing additional systems information during different phases of a flight; displaying at least one or more energy flow icon representing a direction of circulation of an energy flow; accessing a system management interface of the at least one aircraft system by performing an user interaction with the graphic object; and initializing a safeguard mechanism configured to prevent the at least one or more aircraft system from executing an inappropriate operating procedure; wherein initializing the safeguard mechanism comprises requesting, by the at least one or more aircraft system, a confirmation to take action to prevent the at least one or more aircraft system from executing the inappropriate operating procedure, and displaying the confirmation to take action over the at least one or more graphic object on the at least one global visualization interface. - View Dependent Claims (19)
