Adjusting parameters of marine electronics data
View Patent ↗A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to: display marine electronics data on a screen of a multi function display unit; receive a request to adjust the parameter of the marine electronics data; and display an object configured to adjust the parameter. The object includes a default value of the parameter.
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
display marine electronics data along with one or more selectable parameters on a screen of a marine electronics device;
receive a request to adjust a selected parameter from the one or more selectable parameters via the screen of the marine electronics device;
display an object on the screen of the marine electronics device, in place of the one or more selectable parameters while continuing to display the marine electronics data, wherein the object is configured to adjust the selected parameter; and
remove remaining unselected parameters of the one or more selectable parameters from being displayed on the screen of the marine electronics device,
wherein the object comprises a range of possible parameter values and a sliding bar disposed at a default position on the range of possible parameter values, wherein the default position corresponds to a default value.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions also cause the computer to:
receive a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value, wherein the request is received at the object; and
adjust the selected parameter to the particular value.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions also cause the computer to:
receive a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value that is within a predetermined threshold of the default value; and
automatically adjust the selected parameter to the default value.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions also cause the computer to:
display a side menu comprising the one or more selectable parameters while displaying the marine electronics data.
5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computer to:
receive a request to move the sliding bar to a particular parameter value along the range, wherein the particular parameter value is within a predetermined threshold from the default position; and
automatically adjusting the sliding bar to the default position.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the object comprises a box for typing a parameter value, and wherein if the entered parameter value is within the predetermined threshold from the default value, the computer-executable instructions cause the computer to set the selected parameter to the default value.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the marine electronics data comprise sonar data, and wherein the instructions that cause the computer to display the object in place of the selectable parameters comprise instructions that cause the computer to display the sonar data along with the object.
8. A marine electronics device, comprising:
a screen;
one or more processors; and
memory having a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
display marine electronics data along with one or more selectable parameters on the screen;
receive a request to adjust a selected parameter from the one or more selectable parameters via the screen;
display an object on the screen, in place of the one or more selectable parameters while continuing to display the marine electronics data, wherein the object is configured to adjust the selected parameter; and
remove remaining unselected parameters of the one or more selectable parameters from being displayed on the screen,
wherein the object comprises a range of possible parameter values and a sliding bar disposed at a default position on the range of possible parameter values, wherein the default position corresponds to a default value.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of executable instructions also cause the one or more processors to:
receive a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value, wherein the request is received at the object; and
adjust the selected parameter to the particular value.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of executable instructions also cause the one or more processors to:
receive a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value that is within a predetermined threshold of the default value; and
automatically adjust the selected parameter to the default value.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of executable instructions also cause the one or more processors to:
display a side menu comprising the one or more selectable parameters while displaying the marine electronics data.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of executable instructions also cause the one or more processors to:
receive a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value that is within a predetermined threshold of the default value; and
automatically adjust the sliding bar to the default position.
13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the object comprises a box for typing a parameter value, and wherein if the entered parameter value is within the predetermined threshold from the default value, the plurality of executable instructions cause the one or more processors to set the selected parameter to the default value.
14. A method for adjusting one or more parameters of marine electronics data displayed on a marine electronics device, comprising:
displaying marine electronics data along with one or more selectable parameters on a screen of a marine electronics device;
receiving a request to adjust a selected parameter from the one or more selectable parameters via the screen of the marine electronics device;
displaying an object on the screen of the marine electronics device, in place of the one or more selectable parameters while continuing to display the marine electronics data, wherein the object is configured to adjust the selected parameter; and
removing remaining unselected parameters of the one or more selectable parameters from being displayed on the screen of the marine electronics device,
wherein the object comprises a range of possible parameter values and a sliding bar disposed at a default position on the range of possible parameter values, wherein the default position corresponds to a default value.
15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value, wherein the request is received at the object; and
adjusting the selected parameter to the particular value.
16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving a request to adjust the selected parameter to a particular value that is within a predetermined threshold of the default value; and
automatically adjusting the selected parameter to the default value.
17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
displaying a side menu comprising the one or more selectable parameters while displaying the marine electronics data.
18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:
receiving a request to move the sliding bar to a particular parameter value along the range, wherein the particular parameter value is within a predetermined threshold from the default position; and
automatically adjusting the bar to the default position.
