Abstract
Present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for streamlining a user's interface with an aircraft display unit. The system is comprised of a tactile interface device, a voice recognition device, a display unit, and a bimodal interface processor ('BIP'). Both the tactile interface device and the voice recognition device are configured to provide tactile and voice input data to the BIP, and the display unit is configured with at least one page comprised of user-selectable widget(s) and user-enterable widget(s). The BIP is configured to receive the tactile input data corresponding to selections of each user-selectable widget and each user-enterable widget unless the latter has been inhibited by an activation of the user-enterable widget. The BIP is further configured to receive voice input data corresponding to each user-enterable widget unless the user-enterable widget has not been activated. The activation of each user-enterable widget is controlled through tactile input data.
