Method and system for dynamically determining and displaying navigation information

摘要

A method and system for dynamically evaluating a quantity of context sensitive information used by an operator of an airborne mobile platform in performing an operational procedure involving said mobile platform, and determining, in real time, a sub-quantity of context sensitive information that pertains to only that sub-quantity of information required by said operator to execute said operational procedure. The sub-quantity of information is then displayed on a display in real time for the operator. The method and system significantly eases the cognitive workload of the operator by enabling the operator to focus on and digest only that sub-quantity of information that is pertinent to performing the operational procedure with the specific type of mobile platform being operated. In one embodiment the sub-quantity of information pertains to minima information for performing an aircraft landing approach operation.

1. A method for determining a condensed quantity of context sensitive information pertaining to a specific category of vessel, selected by an individual operating a vessel that falls within the specific category of vessel, from a larger quantity of available information related to additional categories of vessels different from the specific category of vessel, for use by the individual in operating the vessel, the method including:
using a non-transitory computer readable medium running on a processor to perform a plurality of operations including: analyzing context sensitive data, in real time, relating to:
an operational procedure of said specific category of vessel to be carried out by the individual operating said vessel, anda real time environmental condition existing at a time and at a location that the operational procedure needs to be performed; andstatus information supplied from the location relating to a real time status of a lighting subsystem present at the location; dynamically determining in real time a subset of context sensitive information suitable for use with said specific category of vessel, in view of said real time environmental condition at said location and said real time status information obtained from said location relating to availability or non-availability of the lighting subsystem, the subset of context sensitive information taken from a larger quantity of context sensitive information relating to said operational procedure as applied to said additional categories of vessels; and presenting only said subset of context sensitive information to said individual operating the vessel to reduce a quantity of information that is visually presented to the individual on a visual display device while operating said vessel.
