摘要 |
Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) is a data communication standard published by the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organisation (SISO) relating to the interconnection of simulators (e.g. pilot/flight simulators and mission/airspace controller simulations). It includes audio/voice communication capabilities. The invention focuses on providing a simulated radio for voice communications in the simulations. In particular it proposes a touchscreen interface with icon based controls for setting frequencies (Fig. 5), channels (Fig. 4), volume levels/balance (Fig. 6) and activating push to talk (PTT) functionality. Simulation of vehicles other than aircraft is envisaged in the application, as well as communication protocols other than DIS. The simulated radio may include functionality absent from that which is being simulated. |
