Systems and methods for incorporating virtual network computing into a cockpit display system and controlling a remote aircraft system with the VNC-incorporated CDS

摘要

Novel and non-trivial systems and methods for incorporating virtual network computing (“VNC”) into a cockpit display system (“CDS”) and controlling an aircraft system with a VNC-incorporated CDS are disclosed. A system for incorporating VNC into the CDS is comprised of a VNC server of an aircraft system, at least one first user application (“UA”), a second UA, a pilot input device, and a CDS comprised of, in part, a processing module (“PM”) configured with a corresponding method that employs both an aviation-industry standard protocol (e.g., ARINC 661) and a VNC protocol. A system for controlling an aircraft system with a VNC-incorporated CDS is comprised with a VNC server of an aircraft system, a UA, a pilot input device, a display surface format, and a CDS comprised of, in part, a PM configured with a corresponding method that employs both an aviation-industry standard protocol and a VNC protocol.
