System and method for abstracting a display
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a physical display unit, configured to display data;
an aircraft system component configured to perform one or more functions of an aircraft system, wherein the aircraft system component is configured to output a first signal for display according to a first display format;
an abstraction component configured to receive the first signal from the aircraft system component, the abstraction component further configured to generate a virtual display page according to a first protocol based on the first signal received from the aircraft system component and to map the virtual display page into two modified display pages, each of the modified display pages configured according to a second display format and corresponding to a respective portion of the virtual display page;
wherein the abstraction component is further configured to output a second signal comprising a first of the two modified display pages to the physical display unit for display on the physical display unit according to the second display format;
wherein the physical display unit includes a plurality of line select buttons configured to indicate a user selection;
wherein if the physical display unit is compatible with the second display format and incompatible with the first display format, then the abstraction component is configured to output the second signal comprising a second of the two modified display pages to the physical display unit based on user input; and
wherein at least one row of the virtual display page corresponding to at least one row of both the first and the second modified display pages that overlap.

Abstract
A system comprises a physical display unit and an aircraft system component. The aircraft system component is configured to output a first signal for display according to a first display format. The system also includes an abstraction component configured to generate a virtual display page according to the first protocol based on the signal received from the aircraft system component and to map the virtual display page into two or more modified pages. Each of the modified pages is configured according to a second display format and corresponds to a respective portion of the virtual display page. The abstraction component is further configured to output a second signal comprising a first of the two or more modified pages to the physical display unit for display according to the second display format. The abstraction component is configured to output a signal comprising a second modified page based on user input.

8. A method of displaying data on a physical display unit, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first signal, from an aircraft system component, containing data for display on the physical display unit according to a first display format; generating a virtual display page according to the first display format based on the first signal; mapping sections of the virtual display page to corresponding modified display pages, each of the modified display pages formatted according to a second display format; wherein mapping sections of the virtual display page comprises; mapping a first section of the virtual display page to a first modified display page; mapping a second section of the virtual display page to a second modified display page; and wherein at least one row of the virtual display page corresponding to at least one row of both the first and the second modified display pages that overlap; and outputting a second signal to the physical display unit for displaying a first modified page of the modified display pages according to the second display format. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A program product comprising a processor-readable non-transitory medium on which program instructions are embodied, wherein the program instructions are configured, when executed by at least one programmable processor, to cause the at least one programmable processor to:
-
generate a virtual display page according to a first display format based on a first signal, received from an aircraft system component, containing data for display on a physical display unit; map sections of the virtual display page to corresponding modified display pages, each of the modified display pages formatted according to a second display format; wherein map sections of the virtual display page comprises; map a first section of the virtual display page to a first modified display page; map a second section of the virtual display page to a second modified display page; and wherein at least one row of the virtual display page corresponding to at least one row of both the first and the second modified display pages that overlap; and output a second signal to the physical display unit for displaying a first modified page of the modified display pages according to the second display format. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
