Automatic Method of Display Configuration-Reconfiguration for a Set of Viewing Devices

The field of the invention is that of systems comprising command or control facilities possessing a considerable set of viewing devices having to display a large number of parameters according to precise configurations such as, for example, the instrument panels of modern aircraft comprising several "displays". The subject of the invention is a method of configuring or reconfiguring a plurality of displays on a set of viewing devices, configuration or reconfiguration being induced by an event, certain viewing devices being able to display several different formats simultaneously. Each elementary configuration is obtained essentially by means of a reconfiguration logic language and of an interpretation algorithm, the said logic language comprising essentially a reconfiguration domain, properties, transition rules and preferences and the said interpretation algorithm making it possible to transform each transition rule into a list of elementary reconfigurations.
