Method, system, and executable program product for controlling passenger services

A method of operation of a passenger service system, comprising:

• receiving, by a controller, a first input signal from a first sensor, wherein the first input signal concerns at least a position of a seat adapted to receive a passenger therein;
• receiving, by the controller, a second input signal from a second sensor, wherein the second input signal concerns at least a presence of the passenger in the seat;
• receiving, by the controller, a third input signal from a third sensor, wherein the third input signal concerns at least one of a position, orientation, and directional motion of at least one hand of the passenger within a hand sensing column region;
• adjusting, by the controller, at least one parameter associated with light generated by a first light source within a first light source column region based on the first input signal, the second input signal, and the third input signal;
• and
• directing the first light source column region towards the hand sensing column region.

An executable non-transitory computer program product embodying instructions for a method of operation of a passenger service system, wherein the instructions comprise steps to:

• receive, by the controller, a first input signal from a first sensor, wherein the first input signal concerns at least a position of a seat adapted to receive a passenger therein;
• receive, by the controller, a second input from a second sensor, wherein the second input signal concerns at least a presence of the passenger in the seat;
• receive, by the controller, a third input from a third sensor, wherein the third input signal concerns at least one of a position, orientation and direction of motion of at least one hand of the passenger within a hand sensing column region;
• adjust, by the controller, at least one parameter associated with light generated by a first light source within a first light source column region based on the first input signal, the second input signal, and the third input signal;
• and
• direct the first light source column region towards the hand sensing column region.
