Tactile and peripheral vision combined modality hover drift cueing
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, vehicle position information from one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle;
determining, at the processor, position drift based on the received vehicle position information;
determining, at the processor, if a combined mode is selected, wherein, if the combined mode is selected, a cueing signal is transmitted to both a peripheral vision position drift indicator and a tactile feedback indicator; and
if the combined mode is not selected, determining if a peripheral only mode is selected, wherein if peripheral only mode is selected, the cueing signal is transmitted to the peripheral vision position drift indicator; and
if the peripheral only mode is not selected, transmitting the cueing signal to the tactile feedback indicator; and
controlling, with the processor, at least one of the peripheral vision position drift indicator and the tactile feedback indicator based on the combined mode and peripheral only mode, the tactile feedback indicator being configured to indicate the position drift by generating tactile feedback, and the peripheral vision position drift indicator and the tactile feedback indicator being onboard the vehicle.

Abstract
Combined modality hover drift cueing methods, systems and computer readable media are disclosed. For example, some implementations can include a system comprising one or more sensors, and a combined modality hover drift cueing controller coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to determine hover drift and to control a plurality of indicators in response to determined hover drift. The system can also include a mode selector coupled to the combined modality hover drift cueing controller and configured to provide an indication of mode selection between one of a first mode, a second mode and a third mode, wherein the first mode is a combined modality mode. The system can further include a peripheral vision hover drift indicator coupled to the controller and mounted on an inside surface of an aircraft cockpit, and a tactile feedback indicator coupled to the controller.

9. A nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor, aircraft position information from one or more sensors disposed on an aircraft; determining, at the processor, hover drift based on the received aircraft position information; determining, at the processor, if a combined mode is selected, wherein, if the combined mode is selected, a cueing signal is transmitted to both a peripheral vision hover drift indicator and a tactile feedback indicator; if the combined mode is not selected, determining if a peripheral only mode is selected, wherein if peripheral only mode is selected, the cueing signal is transmitted to the peripheral vision hover drift indicator; if the peripheral only mode is not selected, transmitting the cueing signal to the tactile feedback indicator; and controlling, with the processor, at least one of the peripheral vision hover drift indicator and the tactile feedback indicator based on the combined mode and the peripheral only mode, the tactile feedback indicator being configured to indicate the hover drift by generating tactile feedback, and the peripheral vision hover drift indicator and the tactile feedback indicator being onboard the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
