Pilot notes presenting system, device, and method
First Claim
1. A system for presenting notes to a pilot, comprising:
- a network comprised of a plurality of users and a plurality of aircraft;
a notes data source comprised of notes data representative of a plurality of notes, whereeach note of the plurality of notes is created by a user of the plurality of users who occupy aircraft of the plurality of aircraft and defined with a location of an event and an identification of the creating user; and
a processing unit including at least one processor coupled to a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code and configured to;
acquire request data representative of a request comprised of an identification of a requesting user and a geographic region being presented in an image being viewed by the requesting user;
acquire responsive notes data representative of at least one note of an event located within the geographic region from the notes data source in response to acquiring the request data; and
provide the responsive notes data to the requesting user identified in the request.

Abstract
A system, device, and method for generating pilot-created notes and presenting them on a display unit are disclosed. The system may include a source of notes data, a display unit configured to display an image corresponding to a geographic region represented in an image data set, and a processing unit (PU). The PU may acquire note data, generate visual note data, and update the image data set of the image being displayed by the display unit as function of the visual note data. The note data could be acquired in response to a request corresponding to a geographic region being displayed. Once acquired, the PU could generate visual note data representative of at least one or more visual notes corresponding to a location of an event found within the geographic region. Then, the image data set could be updated as a function of the visual note data.

8. A device for presenting notes to a pilot, comprising:
a processing unit including at least one processor coupled to a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code and configured to; acquire note data comprised of at least one of a first note data or a second note data from at least one notes data source in response to request data provided to the notes data source and originating from an aircraft of a plurality of aircraft occupied by a first user of a plurality of users, where the request data is representative of a request for the note data, where the request provides an identification of the first user and a geographic region being presented in an image represented in an image data set to the first user, the first note data is representative of at least one first note defined with a first location of a first event located within the geographic region and created by the first user prior to being presented with the image of the geographic region, and the second note data is representative of at least one second note defined with a second location of a second event located within the geographic region and created by a second user of the plurality of users; generate visual note data comprised of at least one of a first visual note data or a second visual note data as a function of the first note data or the second note data, respectively, where the first visual note data is representative of at least one indication of one first note corresponding to one first location of one first event, and the second visual note data is representative of at least one indication of one second note corresponding to one second location of one second event; and update an image data set as a function of the visual note data, such that each one of the at least one indication of a first note or each one of the at least one indication of a second note is presentable as an overlay against the image of the geographic. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for presenting notes to a pilot, comprising:
-
acquiring, by at least one processor coupled to a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code, note data comprised of at least one of a first note data or a second note data from at least one notes data source in response to request data provided to the notes data source and originating from an aircraft of a plurality of aircraft occupied by a first user of a plurality of users, where the request data is representative of a request for the note data, where the request provides an identification of the first user and a geographic region being presented in an image represented in an image data set to the first user, the first note data is representative of at least one first note defined with a first location of a first event located within the geographic region and created by the first user prior to being presented with the image of the geographic region, and the second note data is representative of at least one second note defined with a second location of a second event located within the geographic region and created by a second user of the plurality of users; generating visual note data comprised of at least one of a first visual note data or a second visual note data as a function of the first note data or the second note data, respectively, where the first visual note data is representative of at least one indication of one first note corresponding to one first location of one first event, and the second visual note data is representative of at least one indication of one second note corresponding to one second location of one second event; and updating the image data set as a function of the visual note data, such that each one of the at least one indication of a first note or each one of the at least one indication of a second note is presentable as an overlay against the image of the geographic. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
