Systems and methods allowing saving, on a storage device, under control of a personal electronic device of a passenger of a vehicle, of image data of a video stream arising from a camera of the vehicle

A method of saving image data of a video stream on a storage device under control of a personal electronic device of a passenger of a vehicle, the video stream arising from a camera of the vehicle oriented towards an exterior of the vehicle, the method comprising:

• providing a system allowing saving, on a storage device, under control of a personal electronic device of a passenger of a vehicle, of image data of a video stream arising from a camera of the vehicle, the system comprising an entertainment device onboard the vehicle configured to receive the video stream during a cruising phase, the system comprising:
• a first client/server module configured to receive and retransmit image data of the video stream received by the entertainment device to the storage device, the first client/server module comprising:
• a processor configured to connect the personal electronic device to the first client/server module;
• a receiver;
• and
• a transmitter;
• the storage device being connected to the first client/server module and the transmitter, furthermore wherein the storage device is remote from the personal electronic device;
• and
• the method further comprising a transfer procedure comprising steps as follows implemented by the first client/server module:
• receiving a connection request from the personal electronic device;
• receiving a request originating from the personal electronic device, the request comprising a save item, the save item being representative of a set of exterior images of the video stream arising from the camera of the vehicle to be saved on the storage device;
• and
• transmitting, to the storage device, image data of the video stream corresponding to the save item, causing the storage device to save the image data;
• and
• transmitting, to the personal electronic device, a save address from which the personal electronic device can download the image data corresponding to the save item;
• wherein the vehicle is an aircraft, wherein the personal electronic device is configured to display a graphical interface comprising a plurality of menus allowing the passenger to specify a plurality of characteristics of the set of exterior images of the video stream to be saved, and wherein the aircraft comprises a plurality of exterior cameras and the save item specifies the camera, from among the plurality of exterior cameras, for the video stream to be saved on the storage device.
