THE INVENTION
The disclosed invention relates in general to the display of manually-
entered data on a flat panel display and, more particularly, to assisting the
manual entry or adjustment of flight-related data that is normally displayed
in a particular form on a flat panel display in an aircraft cockpit
(Specification 3).
Independent claim 1 is illustrative:
1. A method of facilitating user entry of a manually-
adjustable data setting normally imaged in a predetermined size
on an imaging display in an aircraft cockpit, comprising the
steps of:
manually manipulating, by the user, a control for one of
adjusting the data setting and selecting the data setting to be
adjusted;
sensing said manipulating of the control by the user;
enlarging, in response to said sensed manipulating of the
control by the user, the image of the data setting on the display
from the predetermined size to a predeterminately enlarged size
to unambiguously direct the user's attention to the
predeterminately enlarged imaged data setting to be adjusted;
maintaining the enlarged image of the data setting on the
display during said sensed manipulating of the control by the
user; and
reducing the enlarged image of the data setting on the
display from the predeterminately enlarged size to the
predetermined size when said sensed manipulating of the
control is determined to have ceased.
