1. A cockpit control device comprising:
- a touchscreen device having a plurality of user interface elements displayed thereon, including at least one user interface control configured to react to a touch event occurring within a region occupied by the at least one user interface control; and
wherein the touchscreen device is configured, upon receipt of a predetermined touchscreen gesture, to temporarily ignore the at least one user interface control and provide immediate access to a tuning function such that a value of the tuning function is modified based on the predetermined touchscreen gesture.

Abstract
A touchscreen device is configured to display a number of user interface elements in accordance with a menu hierarchy. Upon receipt of a predetermined touchscreen gesture (e.g., the circular motion of a manipulator) the menu hierarchy is bypassed and the user is given immediate control over a selected function, for example, a tuning function such as audio volume, screen contrast, and the like.

11. A cockpit control device comprising:
-
a touchscreen display configured to display navigational data to a pilot and to receive touch events from the pilot; a processor coupled to the touchscreen display, the processor configured to; instruct the touchscreen display to display a plurality of user interface elements; receive a signal associated with the touch event; enter a first mode, the first mode including providing a signal responsive to the touch event when the touch event is associated with one or more of the user interface elements; determine whether the touch event corresponds to a predetermined touchscreen gesture; and switch from the first mode to a second mode when the touch event corresponds to the predetermined touchscreen gesture, the second mode including providing, for a duration of the touch event, a signal indicative of a value of a tuning function not associated with the plurality of user interface elements. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A cockpit control device comprising:
-
a touchscreen display configured to display to a pilot in a cockpit and to receive touch events from the pilot; a processor coupled to the touchscreen display, the processor configured to; instruct the touchscreen display to display a plurality of navigation icons relating to an aircraft that includes the cockpit; while in a first mode, provide a first signal responsive to detecting touch events, with the first signal associated with the navigation icons; switch from the first mode to a second mode responsive to detecting a predetermined touchscreen gesture; and while in the second mode, provide a second signal responsive to detecting touch events, with the second signal associated with changing a volume level in the cockpit. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
