Abstract

The present invention relates to an apparatus for searching using multiple displays. The apparatus for searching using multiple displays includes an input part configured to receive an integrated search command signal, a memory in which a program for controlling an integrated search function to be displayed on at least one of an upper display and a lower display according to the integrated search command signal is stored, and a processor configured to execute the program, wherein the processor controls display of an integrated search window for at least one of the lower display disposed in a cockpit and the upper display disposed above the lower display.

Claims (17)

1. A system for conducting a search using multiple displays, the multiple displays comprising a lower display positioned at a cockpit and an upper display positioned above the lower display, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a computer-readable medium in communication with the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the system to perform:

receiving, from a user via a user interface, a first user input requesting to initiate an integrated search session;

in response to receiving the first user input, performing:

displaying, on the upper display, a plurality of first lists respectively corresponding to a plurality of menu categories, each first list including a plurality of selectable items of the corresponding menu category that are arranged in an order of usage recency;

displaying, on the lower display, (1) an integrated search window configured to display a search word provided by the user and (2) a plurality of buttons respectively corresponding to the plurality of menu categories, each button being associated with the most frequently used selectable item of the corresponding menu category;

receiving, from the user via the user interface, a second user input containing a search word including one or more characters; and

in response to receiving the second user input, performing:

displaying, on the integrated search window, the one or more characters of the received search word; and

replacing the plurality of first lists displayed on the upper display with a plurality of second list, respectively, each second list including a plurality of selectable items of the corresponding menu category that are relevant to the one or more characters of the received search word.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to control the system to perform:

receiving, from the user via the user interface, a user input identifying a user profile; and

in response to receiving the user input, displaying a search result for each of the plurality of menu categories relevant to the identified user profile and a search word.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein, for displaying the integrated search window on the lower display, the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the processor to control the system to perform:

detecting that an app function is being executed on the upper display; and

in response to detecting the app function being executed on the upper display, displaying the integrated search window on the lower display.
