Abstract
A user interface apparatus for an electronic operation strip control system for supporting control services by presenting electronic operation strips used in airport control to a plurality of controllers who carry out airport terminal radar control services and entering control services previously distributed and associated with each other, including an information display device and an instruction input device provided for each controller. Operation strip control information items necessary for respective distributed control services are obtained and inputted into an information processing section, where the items are edited and processed in correspondence with the distributed control services and in accordance with contents of instructions from an instruction input device. Thereafter, the processed operation strip control information items are displayed on an information display device of a corresponding control seat, in accordance with instructions from the instruction input device, and simultaneously, operation strip control information items of related control services including operation strip control information items of the other control services are displayed on the same screen. It is therefore possible to reduce loads to controllers, to supply instructions more accurately and rapidly, and to enable visual communication between pilots and controllers.
