A dialog system for dialog between an operator of an aircraft and at least one system of the aircraft including a display configured to display at least one window including a plurality of responsive objects respectively associated with one of multiple functions of the at least one system of the aircraft, and a cursor control device including a cursor moving mechanism configured to move a cursor on the display so as to designate a responsive object such that when the cursor is on the responsive object, a main object marker appears and designates the responsive object. Also included is an auxiliary control device including a discrete moving mechanism configured to cause a discrete displacement of an auxiliary object marker on the display, responsive object by responsive object, so as to designate a responsive object without affecting control of the main object marker.

Aircraft dialog device including discrete moving mechanism

A dialog method for dialog between an operator of an aircraft and at least one system of the aircraft including the steps of displaying on a display at least one window including a plurality of responsive objects respectively associated with one of multiple functions of the at least one system of the aircraft, moving a cursor on the display so as to designate a responsive object such that when the cursor is on the responsive object, a main object marker appears and designates the responsive object, and discretely displacing an auxiliary object marker on the display, responsive object by responsive object, so as to designate a responsive object without affecting control of the main object marker.

Aircraft dialog method including auxiliary object marker

A dialog system for dialog between an operator of an aircraft and at least one system of the aircraft including a display configured to display at least one window including a plurality of responsive objects respectively associated with one of multiple functions of the at least one system of the aircraft. Also included is a first cursor control device including a continuous cursor moving mechanism configured to move a cursor in a continuous manner on the display so as to designate a responsive object and a second cursor control device including a discrete cursor moving mechanism configured to move the cursor in a discrete manner on the display responsive object by responsive object so as to designate a responsive object.

Aircraft dialog device for dialog with system of aircraft

A dialog method for dialog between an operator of an aircraft and at least one system of the aircraft. The method includes the steps of displaying on a display at least one window including a plurality of responsive objects respectively associated with one of multiple functions of the at least one system of the aircraft, moving a cursor in a continuous manner on the display so as to designate a responsive object, and moving the cursor in a discrete manner on the display, responsive object by responsive object, so as to designate a responsive object.

A dialog device includes at least one screen displaying responsive objects on at least two interactive windows. An actuatable cursor control device of the dialog device has a device for displacing a cursor on one of the interactive windows to designate and confirm a responsive object, so as to initiate execution of an associated function. An actuatable auxiliary control device of the dialog device controls an auxiliary object marker without affecting the control of the cursor. The actuatable auxiliary control device includes a device for discretely displacing the auxiliary object marker on an interactive window and confirming a responsive object indicated by the auxiliary object marker, so as to initiate execution of an associated function.

Aircraft dialog device, for dialog with a system of said aircraft

Said dialog device ( ) includes at least two interactive windows (F to F ), each of which includes at least one responsive object which is associated with a function of the system, at least one cursor control device ( ), which is capable of being actuated by an operator, and which includes means for displacing a cursor continuously on the interactive windows (F to F ) in order to designate a responsive object, and for confirming a designated responsive object in order to initiate execution of the associated function, and at least one keyboard ( ), including at least one key for discrete displacement of the cursor, and at least one confirmation key, making it possible to confirm a responsive object which is designated by the cursor, in order to initiate execution of the associated function.
