DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION:
[0001] The present invention generally relates to control, monitoring, and security apparatus that can be used in Marine vessels. More particularly, the present invention relates to a smart touch digital console that can be used in ship launching activities.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
[0002] In addition to controlling ship navigation, a control console serves as a central point of control for equipment like a host remote control for ship driving, a telephone system, a broadcasting system, and many others. As one of the most important components of ship navigation, the control console plays a key role in ensuring the safety of the ship and its reliability.

[0003] Control consoles include launching triggers that are used for launching ships on slipways. Push button consoles are used to operate solenoids to open Trigger Locks. This console even plays a key role in the launching of the ship by issuing a launch command.

[0004] Nowadays, there are buttons, knobs, LED nixie tubes, etc. in the hardware consoles of domestic ship maneuvering simulators, more intuitive for operators. However, logic boards are complex with a lot of hardware, which increases development costs, malfunction rate and maintenance difficulty.

[0005] To overcome the aforesaid problem, a novel smart touch digital control console is introduced herein.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION:
[0006] The main object of the present invention is to provide a smart touch digital console that can be used in ship launching activities.
[0007] An object of the present invention is to improve the aesthetics of the human-machine interface (HMI) on marine vessels by replacing traditional analog consoles with smart touch digital console.
[0008] Another object of the present invention is to simplify user interaction with the console, making it more intuitive and user-friendly.
[0009] In an aspect of the present invention, the smart touch digital console comprises a touchscreen display with a user interface, a microcontroller configured to process data and manage the user interface, a control panel having an input control, wherein the control panel is connected to the microcontroller.
[0010] In an aspect of the present invention, the microcontroller in conjunction with graphic processing unit (GPU) is utilized to enhance graphical interface performance and functionality.
