Abstract

System and method of integrity checking digitally displayed data in a display system having a display comprising a pixel array with a viewable area, including rendering a known value into a QR code graphic, generating an image onto the display including drawing the QR code graphic in the viewable area of the pixel array, monitoring the generated image for the drawn QR code graphic and determining the integrity of the drawn graphical information.

Claims (12)

1. A method of integrity checking digitally displayed data in a display system having a display comprising a pixel array with a viewable area, the method comprising:

rendering a known value into a QR code graphic, wherein the known value is at least a portion of a critical aircraft parameter;

generating an image onto the display including drawing the QR code graphic in the viewable area of the pixel array, wherein a single QR Code graphic is used to represent a whole critical parameter value;

monitoring the generated image for the drawn QR code graphic;

decoding the drawn QR code graphic to define decoded information;

comparing, by a computer, the decoded information to the known value used to render the QR code graphic; and

determining the integrity of the drawn graphical information based on the comparison.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the comparing further comprises comparing the displayed position of the QR code graphic to a reference position.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a character of the critical aircraft parameter contains a QR Code graphic with a hexadecimal code of the character.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the critical aircraft parameters comprises an altitude, a speed, an attitude, or a heading.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein drawing the QR code graphic comprises drawing the QR code graphic over the at least a portion of a critical aircraft parameter.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein drawing the QR code graphic comprises drawing the QR code graphic in a green channel of the display.
