[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electronic flight ticket system in which handling of a flight ticket describing information such as an aircraft call code, an aircraft model, a scheduled time, etc. for each aircraft used in an air traffic control service is improved.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in the control business, various types of aircraft information (aircraft call code, aircraft model, scheduled departure time, estimated arrival time, flight altitude, etc.) handled at the business seats are indispensable. These are the flight plan processing system (FDP). As shown in the example of Fig. 19 and Fig. 20 from the FDP terminal printer device according to the format for each business seat, the operation slip is printed out as well as other seats in the same relatively small room such as a control tower or terminal radar control room. In the aircraft under control, the flight slip is handed to the next jurisdiction as the aircraft moves.
[0003]
The current operation slip is a rectangle with an outer dimension of 1 inch in length and 8 inches in width, and is output by being cut out by the automatic cutting mechanism of the printer device. It is delivered by hand on the board of the seat (the iron board that can have a plurality of flight ticket holders in a column and can move the holder up and down with rails) according to the order of scheduled time, passing position reporting point, etc.
[0004]
The controller of the seat confirms the information of each operation slip delivered to each holder, and plans the confirmation, addition, change, information transfer timing to the next related seat, etc., including the control interval. If there is a problem at this time or if alerting is required, the flight slip is shifted from the board alignment position, or a symbol or the like is written with a red pen.
When the controller receives a position report or request from an aircraft, or when an instruction, permission or approval is given to the aircraft, the air traffic control duties determined in advance such as arrows, alphabets, etc. Fill out the confirmation mark or alphanumerical instructions, permission, and approval items.
[0005]
When an aircraft leaves the control seat, the aircraft will be transferred to the next control seat and handed over its flight ticket. In addition, if the flight report has already been output to the next seat by the FDP system, the flight has been completed due to the landing of the aircraft, or the flight plan has been withdrawn or canceled, the flight Remove the vote from the board and store it.
The flight slip removed from the board is used as basic traffic statistics for the control seat, airspace, or airport, and the daily, monthly, and annual total traffic calculations, flight type, altitude, approach type, peak hour traffic, Other necessary statistical calculations are performed manually and stored and managed for a predetermined period.
[0006]
The conventional flight slip is automatically separated from the print output by the FDP terminal printer, but the timely output is interrupted when the printer-dedicated paper is replenished or at fault. Further, only the horizontal direction can be automatically cut off, and as shown in the example of FIG. 19, the printer sprocket hole portions on the left and right sides require labor to tear the perforation portion into the holder and the work efficiency is poor. In addition, when there is a change in information (for example, a change of 5 minutes or more in the scheduled arrival time or scheduled departure time, a change in route, etc.) It is necessary to remove and perform the same operation again.
[0007]
In the case of conventional flight tickets, when the traffic increased, it was not possible to put everything on the board, and other space was required, and it was difficult to overlook and accurately grasp. Also, if it is deleted from the board or holder due to carelessness or misunderstanding, it will be necessary to work hard to find it, which may affect the control operation and cause an accident.
[0008]
Conventional flight tickets use black or red ballpoint pens to fill in, and become handwritten like a scribble during busy times, and misreading and misunderstandings may be triggered by the individual writing of controllers that change approximately every hour. is there. In addition, when statistically calculating the operation slips that have been handled, it is necessary to manually check the operation slips one by one for each processing item, resulting in a great deal of labor and miscalculation. In addition, it is only a guess about what information was added at which seat and at what time in the conventional flight charts, and the data on the flight charts can hardly be used, and analysis of accidents etc. only relies on the voice communication recording of the controller. there were.
[0009]
In the same room such as a control tower or terminal radar control room, it is necessary to hand over the conventional flight ticket with the transfer of the aircraft, except for the case of output from the FDP terminal printer. In the radar room or the like, even personnel for that purpose are required, and the efficiency of the control operation is deteriorated.
In the case of a conventional flight chart, the control status at that time cannot be grasped from other seats other than the control seat, and the coordinating controller goes to the flight chart board for that seat each time and adjusts the overall business communication. It was necessary to do it, and it was difficult to plan and predict in advance.
Conventional flight tickets have a fixed format and are printed with uniform information, so it is not possible to use only the information required for each control seat. It is impossible to respond flexibly to the nature of work and traffic conditions, such as handwriting all information that is not in the item.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, flight tickets have been issued as described above, and transfer for the next work and instructions for changing work have been performed by hand, causing problems such as delays and errors. It was.
In addition, there is a problem that a change instruction is not necessarily clearly described on a corresponding item, and communication with related parties is not immediately and appropriately transmitted.
[0011]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to obtain a centralized management of aircraft information in control operations, an easy-to-understand display, and an electronic flight slip management system that reduces the occurrence of erroneous operations.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiment 1 FIG.
An electronic flight ticket system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention used for operations at an airport control tower will be described.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration when an electronic flight slip system of the present invention is applied as an airfield control support device (abbreviated as TOSS). In the present embodiment, there is a control console terminal device 1, a communication control device 2, an information management device 3, a statistical analysis device 4, and a general adjustment console terminal device 5, one for each responsible control business seat. ing. The information management device 3 includes aircraft information database creation means 6 and control console information database creation means 7.
The control console terminal device 1 includes a terminal data file creation means 10, an electronic flight ticket display / change mechanism 11, an electronic flight ticket transfer mechanism 12, and a handwritten information input mechanism 13.
The overall adjustment console terminal device 5 includes terminal data file creation means 10, system configuration control means 14, and quick look function 15.
2 to 18 are diagrams showing specific examples of screens used in the present system, and diagrams showing an outline of arrangement and connection of each element of the system.
[0021]
Next, operation | movement of the electronic flight ticket system in this Embodiment comprised in this way is demonstrated.
The communication control device 2 receives a flight plan of an instrument flight method (IFR) aircraft that leaves and arrives at the airport from a flight plan information processing system (abbreviated as FDP), and a visible flight method (from CADIN) as a visual flight method ( (VFR) receives flight plans of aircraft taking off and landing, receives current position information of arriving aircraft from a terminal radar information processing system (abbreviated as ARTS), and is on the airport's ground surface from an airport plane automatic identification display system (abbreviated as SMGC) Receive aircraft position information.
The communication control device 2 transmits the take-off time of the aircraft departing from the IFR to ARTS, and transmits the take-off and arrival time of the aircraft taking off and landing from VFR to CADIN.
The communication control device 2 efficiently transfers information obtained from these external systems to the information management device 3 so as not to be leaked, and is efficient so that information to be transmitted from the information management device 3 to the external system is not leaked. To receive. Thus, the communication control device 2 is positioned between the external other system and the information management device 3 which is the core of the electronic flight ticket system, and plays a role of information security maintenance and input / output buffer.
[0022]
The information management device 3 receives information from the communication control device 2 and centrally manages aircraft information using the aircraft information database creation means 6 in the electronic flight ticket system.
The information management device 3 transmits the aircraft information of the aircraft to the control console terminal to be displayed first based on the estimated arrival time (ETA), the estimated departure time (EOBT), the position information of the aircraft, the flight format, and the like.
The information management device 3 receives aircraft information for which transfer processing or termination processing has been issued from the control console terminal device 1, updates the aircraft information by the aircraft information database creation means 6, and then transmits the updated aircraft information to the transfer destination.
[0023]
The control console terminal device 1 is provided with a table that displays predetermined items in a predetermined order in correspondence with keywords (key codes) when displayed on the electronic flight ticket display / change mechanism. For example, when [ACT] is pressed on the [DATA SORT] screen, the next screen is displayed.
On the displayed “LINE DATA select” screen corresponding to “ACT”, for example, when “ACID”, “TYPE”, and “ECID” are pressed, the aircraft call code, aircraft type, and scheduled takeoff time are displayed in one line.
FIG. 2 shows this example, and the controller terminal device 1 displays necessary data corresponding to the keyword from the terminal data file 23 on the display unit via the electronic flight slip display / change mechanism 11. This display format is registered in advance, and has a mechanism (line display item selection mechanism) for selecting and displaying only necessary information in an arbitrary order in an arbitrary item within the range by the keyword correspondence table. For example, from the left end, selection settings for the aircraft call code, aircraft model, and scheduled takeoff time can be specified in the format shown in FIG. By the way, this is expressed so that the appearance is the same as the format shown in FIG.
These display items are selected by the controller in consideration of traffic conditions and the like.
[0024]
A new flight report is sent to the controller seat each time it is generated, but one line is the unit information of the flight. Displayed in a line-fall display format, just above the line. This designates the display position by sequentially changing the vertical coordinate value for each display from the initial initial display position.
This alerts the controller by visually telling the controller that a new flight vote has arrived.
In addition, when there are many operation tickets currently displayed and the screen is full, the current screen is prioritized using the mechanism that displays the current screen, but it is hidden diagonally behind the currently displayed operation ticket. A visual representation of what has arrived.
In operation, a large number of flight tickets can be handled in this way.
[0025]
The terminal data file contains related data in addition to the display items corresponding to the keyword, and activation input with the electronic pen to the terminal data file creation means (continuous twice with the electronic pen to the operation report screen displayed on the line) All the items are displayed when the button is pressed. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing this result. That is, if the electronic flight slip of FIG. 5A is pressed twice in succession, the open display screen portion of FIG. 5B is displayed, and an information transfer button or the like appears so that the corresponding input can be performed.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing areas and examples where input can be changed and added on the open display screen. Restrictions are incorporated and checked for each of these input / changeable items to prevent input errors.
Further, the display position of the electronic flight slip can be changed on the electronic pen by a so-called drag operation. This is a software drag mechanism, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams for explaining these operations. FIG. 7 shows a drag operation for shifting the electronic pen to a predetermined position while touching the screen.
[0026]
In addition, this display format takes the expression according to the conventional operation slip and suppresses the dissimilar texture as much as possible as well as instructions, approvals, confirmations, memos, etc. that have been made by writing in the past by using an electronic pen. Has a function to input in a way (free writing input function). Like a normal ballpoint pen, the electronic pen can write characters and symbols in black on the operation slip on the screen, and it can be written on the screen in red by operating it while holding down the buttons provided on it, There is no need to use different red pens. Also, when returning from the open display to the original line display, in order to clearly indicate that such free-written information exists, if there is black information, the color of the entire flight slip will be deeper and red information will be mixed If so, it has a function of expressing the aircraft call code item in red (writing information explicit expression color).
[0027]
All the information entered at each control console terminal including the information by free writing is stored in the aircraft information database of the information management device 3 and transferred to other seats. In addition, in the information management device 3, the control table information database creation means detects the position of the electronic pen and adds / subtracts it to the display position so that it is clear what has been added or changed on which terminal. Position. In addition, information for each control terminal is stored and created in order to immediately return to the previous situation in the event of a system failure.
As with the conventional handling of flight tickets, the line-displayed flight tickets can be used with an electronic pen as shown in FIG. It can be shifted to the side (shift display function). In this case, the position of the electronic pen is detected and added to or subtracted from the display position to obtain a new display position. In addition, as shown in Fig. 8, the upper and lower order can be changed as shown in Fig. 8 by appropriately shifting between the operation slips to be inserted and pressing the alignment button with the electronic pen. Function), and when the initial alignment button is pressed as shown in FIG. 9, the original order can be restored (initial alignment function). As a result, the operation can be improved much more efficiently than the conventional method of replacing each flight slip by hand.
[0028]
These electronic flight slips displayed on the screen are displayed in a shifted manner and weighted as the number increases. However, the display position of each flight slip is monitored, and it is always left and right and up and down with a certain width. The function to automatically shift the display position prevents other flight tickets from being completely hidden behind the flight ticket, and the flight ticket located on the back is displayed on the front by pressing the visible part with an electronic pen ( A pop-up function), that is, a mechanism that preferentially displays the corresponding operation slips, enables handling of many operation slips that were difficult with the conventional flight slip board.
[0029]
Since the open display has a larger amount of information than the line display, it has a drawback that it cannot display a lot of aircraft information at the same time due to its large screen area. For this reason, when there are input items that are frequently or indispensable for business, a function that enables direct input on the line display is efficient. The items corresponding to this are typically transfer of flight tickets and input of current time and number of times. If the transfer destination seat abbreviation is selected as a line-displayed flight ticket format, pressing the item with the electronic pen automatically triggers the transfer function to be activated in the electronic flight ticket transfer mechanism 12 using this as a trigger. Such (automatic transfer start function). In the case of the current time input item as shown in FIG. 10, the current time is displayed when the button is pressed for the first time, and is finally input when the button is pressed for the second time (time input function). This is used for inputting the departure / arrival time and the like, and particularly in the control work where the time information is important, the operation can be performed very accurately and efficiently together with the confirmation means.
Further, the terminal data file creation means is provided with a counter, which is a mechanism that counts up by pressing the item with respect to this item from the electronic pen. Thus, as shown in FIG. 11, if the number of times of training such as touch and go and the number of times of approaching return, etc., a numerical value counted once can be input each time it is pressed (counter function). There is no need to write it on a memo sheet or install a numerical meter, and since this information is also managed for each aircraft, the efficiency of statistical work after processing is greatly promoted.
[0030]
Regarding the transfer, the next control seat or other system is scheduled based on the current position of the aircraft and the flight plan, and the transfer function is activated from the line display as described above. As shown in FIG. It is possible to start from the described open display state (manual transfer function). This is because it is assumed that the written information is reconfirmed or that the other party is manually selected for a control seat that is different from the previously calculated counterpart.
[0031]
When the transfer function is activated, the mechanism is such that the related party's seat is graphically displayed by software when activated from the open display. Furthermore, by selecting one of them with the electronic pen, the destination is designated and the electronic flight slip data is transferred.
Thereafter, the display automatically returns to the line display. On the line display, the other party's seat abbreviation is displayed on the left side of the aircraft call code, and the entire flight slip is displayed in a blinking manner to clearly indicate that it is being transferred.
[0032]
In the transfer destination display, as shown in FIG. 13, a line fall display in which the abbreviation of the transferred control seat is displayed on the left side of the aircraft call code and flashes occurs. When the controller of the seat presses the flight ticket once with the electronic pen, the receipt is completed, the confirmation is sent to the forwarded seat, the flashing display of the forwarding side stops, and then automatically The display is erased, and the other operation slips at the top of the display are sequentially dropped and displayed at the bottom. This is a form close to the current handling, and it is highly effective in attracting visual attention while integrating the operator's discomfort as much as possible.
Such transfer start and end operations are not in the conventional manual operation slip, and the transfer start time and end time are also recorded in the control console information database of the information management device 3 at the same time, and the display mechanism and high-speed data are recorded. Communication enables reliable transfer and recording of aircraft information.
[0033]
The control console terminal device 1 has a mechanism (list display mechanism) for referring to the aircraft information database of the information management device 3, as shown in FIG. This mechanism also has a function of displaying in a list format by selecting search items such as an airline, flight type, current control seat status, etc. in addition to selecting information items as in the operation slip. By this mechanism, past or future plan information can be referred to, and it is possible to grasp the entire aircraft information and pre-plan the work, which was difficult with the conventional flight slip.
[0034]
Also, airports require special information that cannot be grasped in advance as a flight plan. In particular, the aircraft is often towed by a vehicle and moved from one gate to another (towing). At that time, there is a request from the aircraft or the vehicle to the control tower by wireless communication. Gives permission to consider the movement of other aircraft, etc., and the operation slip may be used to confirm the start and end of movement.
[0035]
Since such information is not obtained in advance from other systems, it is necessary to input the information directly to the control terminal 1 with a simple input. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, the control console terminal device 1 is provided with a manual operation button (manual input function) for the operation slip, and a list of pre-registered call codes and where to move from when pressed with the electronic pen. Is displayed on the screen, and has a function of easily selecting and inputting each by pressing with an electronic pen. As a result, everything that used to be handwritten in the past is digitized, and the position of the aircraft captured by SMGC is automatically displayed on the flight slip, which is effective as a powerful support function for control operations during morning and evening congestion. It is remarkable.
[0036]
Similarly, for normal takeoff and landing aircraft, if location information is selected in the selection item of the operation slip, the location information from the ARTS can be obtained by the distance and direction from the radar site for the aircraft in flight, For aircraft on the ground, if the aircraft is parked at a spot or gate, the number will be displayed. If you are moving on the taxiway or on the runway, the position captured by the airport surface detection radar (abbreviated as ASDE) It is possible to display in real time by name or runway name, and by operating in a form where the operation slip and aircraft position are connected as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the position and operation that occurred in the conventional operation slip Can prevent misidentification of votes.
[0037]
In addition, by accurately linking and displaying such position grasps and aircraft information, and performing future prediction calculations and exclusive route control, as shown in the example of FIG. The airport is equipped with a warning mechanism (runway incursion warning information display mechanism: runway incursion) that dictates the future of traffic, congestion warning display, exclusive use of the runway to one aircraft, and prevents simultaneous release of other aircraft. It is possible to improve the efficiency of internal traffic flow and prevent accidents.
[0038]
In the overall adjustment console terminal device 5, a display selection device is added, and when a selection button with a seat abbreviation is pressed, the screen of the seat is displayed as it is (quick look mechanism). As a result, the controller of the supervisory coordinator can freely grasp the current situation of the business seats in the control tower, and the efficiency of operation management is greatly improved.
[0039]
In addition, the overall control console terminal device 5 has the same function as the control seat terminal, in addition, the seat configuration change such as integration and separation of the control console terminal, time normalization, operation runway, weather conditions, etc. It has a function (system configuration control function) that makes it possible to update the operation data, and even if some control console terminals become faulty, this can be backed up, making operation fail safe Further improve.
[0040]
The statistical analysis device 6 refers to the aircraft information database and the control table information database created in the information management device 3, and the control diary, radio work diary, monthly traffic report, annual traffic report, runway / taxiway Automatic creation of annual statistics on usage frequency, monthly peak day report, and peak time zone report (standard statistical data creation function). In addition, business analysis such as a control seat busyness survey is efficiently implemented by a function (analysis information generation function) for transferring data to a commercially available spreadsheet program. All of these operations are performed manually in the conventional flight slips, which greatly reduces labor and improves efficiency.
[0041]
Example 1.
A control operation using the electronic flight slip system that operates with the above mechanism will be described below in the case of a departure aircraft by IFR in the control tower.
The flight plan of the aircraft is registered in advance in the flight plan information processing system (abbreviated FDP) via the air traffic information system (abbreviated CADIN) from the airline, and received by the communication control device 2 20 minutes before EOBT, The information is transferred to the information management device 3, and an aircraft information database of the aircraft is automatically created.
[0042]
The aircraft information is displayed in line fall on the flight control seat terminal device 1a n minutes before the EOBT defined by the electronic flight ticket system, and the controller of the seat confirms this content. If any information is added or changed, it is input and transferred to the control approval transmission seat (CD seat).
The CD seat receives this transfer and waits for a control approval request from the aircraft.
[0043]
The aircraft calls the CD seat by radio telephone approximately 5 minutes before the EOBT and requests control approval of the route and altitude etc. to the destination by instrument flight, and the controller makes this request to the control district control center (ACC) The control approval issued from the ACC side is transmitted to the aircraft. In this work, the operation slip of the control console terminal device 1b installed in the CD seat is displayed open, and a request confirmation mark, the content of the issued control approval, etc. are input with an electronic pen. Upon completion of transmission to the aircraft, this flight slip is transferred to the ground control seat (GND seat) that has jurisdiction over the parking position of the aircraft.
[0044]
At the transferred GND seat, this is received by the control console terminal device 1c, and the content of the control approval is confirmed by an open display if necessary. When an aircraft requests ground travel to the end of the starting runway by radio telephone, the controller instructs the runway to be used and the travel guideway to the end in consideration of the related ground traffic. Confirm that the aircraft has entered the only taxiway that leads to the end of the runway, visually confirm the position display on the flight slip and visually transfer this flight slip to the airport control seat (LCL seat).
[0045]
At the LCL seat, this is received by the control console terminal device 1d, and it is confirmed that other aircraft do not occupy the runway, and the position indication and visual confirmation of other flight slips are given, and the aircraft is allowed to take off. , And the flight slip is shifted to the side, the take-off time input field is pressed once with the electronic pen, it is clearly indicated that the aircraft occupies the runway, and another aircraft is mistaken for the same runway. Permitting entry is prevented. If another aircraft on the final approach route requests landing permission for landing at this time, the controller will be alerted when the landing time column of the flight slip is pressed, and a double warning will be issued for the same runway. Use permission will be prevented. If the take-off time column is pressed once again at the timing when the departure aircraft wheel leaves the runway, the time at that time is entered and the runway for other aircraft can be used.
[0046]
After the aircraft has taken off, the controller of the LCL seat will transfer the aircraft to the exit control seat of the terminal radar control service, and if the electronic flight slip system is deployed in the exit control seat (DEP seat), Perform the transfer. If the electronic flight ticket system is not deployed at the departure control seat, the flight ticket is automatically deleted from the display of the control console terminal device 1d after a certain period of time, and the aircraft information database of the information management device 3 Information on the aircraft will be closed.
[0047]
Example 2
Next, the terminal radar control work of the electronic flight slip system will be described in the case of the control of the arrival aircraft.
The flight plan of the arriving aircraft is sent from the FDP to the communication control device 2 and transferred to the information management device 3 20 minutes before the aircraft reaches the entry gate (entry FIX) in the terminal radar controlled airspace. An aircraft information database is automatically created.
[0048]
After the aircraft information database is created, this aircraft information is first displayed in a line fall on the control console terminal device 1e of the entrance control seat (ARV seat) that controls the aircraft.
Immediately before the aircraft enters the airspace, a system handoff (control transfer system in the radar system) system is applied from the airway radar system on the ACC side, and the aircraft position display blinks on the radar screen of the ARTS. Here, the ARTS displays the information in a blinking manner on the control console terminal 1e of the ARV seat through the communication control device 2 and the information management device 3 in the same manner as the radar display screen.
[0049]
If the controller receives this handoff by operating the ARTS as before, the aircraft position display on the radar screen stops blinking, and the flight information stops blinking through the above transmission route, and the time automatically Will be entered in the flight ticket. Also, the ARTTS screen display is changed in the reverse route by pressing the flight ticket with the electronic pen. In the conventional procedure, it was necessary to operate the ARTS and hand-write the time on the flight ticket, but this makes it easy to do this work with either one of the operations, improving the efficiency of the control work, Time data can be managed.
If an item of altitude information is selected in the operation slip, the information can be acquired from the ARTS and displayed on the operation slip. In addition, the descent altitude can be written by free writing on the open display, and control operations can be performed in the same manner as in the conventional handling.
[0050]
When the aircraft approaches the airport, the controller of the ARV seat forwards the flight ticket to transfer to the search guidance seat (FED seat) that leads to the final approach route. Also in this case, the system handoff in the ARTS is automatically activated together with the activation activation of the flight ticket.
At the FED seat, this will be received by either the ARTTS or the flight card of the controller terminal 1f, and after the aircraft has been lowered further and guided to the final approach route, after confirming the start of the final approach The flight ticket is transferred to the airfield control seat (LCL seat) of the control tower.
[0051]
In the LCL seat, when this transfer is received and the landing permission for the runway is issued, the landing time column of the operation slip is pushed with the electronic pen. As a result, this aircraft occupies the runway, and simultaneous use of other aircraft is prevented.
When the aircraft wheel touches the ground again and the landing time column of the flight slip is pressed again with the electronic pen, that time is input as the landing time.
[0052]
When the aircraft leaves the runway, the departure taxiway name is displayed in the position information field of the flight card, and at the same time, the flight card is automatically transferred to the GND seat that has jurisdiction over the taxiway.
The GND seat receives this transfer and gives the aircraft instructions on the route to the destination parking spot.
When the aircraft arrives at the destination parking spot, the flight ticket is automatically deleted from the screen, and the aircraft database is closed.
[0053]
As described above, the position of the electronic flight chart system is closely related to the flight chart based on information from radar systems such as ARTS and ASDE. Especially in terminal radar control work, it is linked with the system handoff operation on ARTS. Work and input of time, etc. can be greatly improved, and the efficiency of control work is further promoted.
[0054]
Example 3
Although the above embodiment is an application example in airport control operations, the function of this electronic flight slip system can be used as it is even in the ACC that performs the control operations of aircraft traveling on an air route.
In addition to the controller, the functions of the electronic flight ticket system can also be used in the airline information service (AEIS) that provides air traffic information for air traffic controllers and air traffic controllers in small airports. In both cases, the work load is reduced and efficient operation is achieved.
[0055]
Although the present invention mainly deals with aircraft information, even if the aircraft is replaced with trucks, buses, taxis, railway vehicles, and ships, the functions are the same even if the information items are different, and information management of moving objects As a result, it is possible to successively transfer handling slips and tags in the logistics system in the form of the operation slip of the present invention.
[0056]
【The invention's effect】
  As described above, according to the present invention,An electronic pen input unit that inputs changes / additions of aircraft operation information and control information, terminal data file creation means for creating aircraft information for each control console terminal device based on aircraft information transferred from the information management device, An electronic flight slip display unit that displays a line corresponding to a predetermined keyword from the aircraft information created by the terminal data file creation means as an electronic flight slip in a flight unit based on a predetermined display format; When the electronic pen input unit accepts input to the location where the transfer destination item is displayed in the electronic flight slip displayed by the electronic flight slip display unit, the electronic flight slip is transferred to the transfer destination. Electronic flight slip transfer means for transferring the flight slip to the information management device, and the terminal data file creation means provides a counter for specific items of the electronic flight slip and displays the electronic flight slip display For the specific item of the electronic flight slip displayed by, the electronic pen input unit updates the aircraft information by inputting a numerical value in the specific item based on the press input received from the electronic pen. Numeric values can be entered in the fields.
[0057]
  In addition, when the electronic flight slip display unit displays a new electronic flight slip based on the aircraft information transferred from the information management device, the electronic flight slip display unit displays the electronic flight slip in a line fall display. The controller can be alerted that is displayed.
