Abstract

A method and system for alert notifications is disclosed. The method comprises collecting, in an alert management unit onboard a platform, one or more alerts from one or more applications in operative communication with the alert management unit; determining a platform state and operator workload based on data from one or more onboard sensors and one or more platform electronics systems; ratifying the collected alerts based on predefined criteria, configured criteria from a configuration file, or a priority of the collected alerts; and determining whether a ratified alert is to be notified to an operator. The determining of whether a ratified alert is to be notified is performed by a process comprising determining a format and content of an alert notification for the ratified alert; selecting a notification device to perform the alert notification; and sending a communication to the selected notification device to perform the alert notification.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method for alert notifications by an on-board processor of a platform that is executing software instructions, the method comprising:

collecting one or more alerts from one or more applications in operative communication with the processor;
determining a platform state and operator workload based on data from one or more onboard sensors and one or more platform electronics systems;
ratifying the collected one or more alerts based on predefined criteria, configured criteria from a configuration file, or a priority of the collected one or more alerts;
determining whether a ratified alert, among the ratified one or more alerts, is to be notified to an operator by performing a first process comprising:
determining whether the ratified alert is to be notified immediately;
in response to determining the ratified alert is not to be notified immediately, determining whether the ratified alert is to be postponed;
and
in response to determining the ratified alert is to be postponed, buffering the ratified alert for a configured wait time and returning to determining whether the ratified alert is to be notified immediately;
and
in response to determining the ratified alert is to be notified to the operator, notifying the operator by performing a second process comprising:
determining a format and content of an alert notification for the ratified alert;
selecting a notification device to perform the alert notification for the ratified alert;
and
sending a communication to the selected notification device to perform the alert notification.

11 more elements

A system for alert notifications, the system comprising:

a memory storing instructions;
and
a processor executing the instructions to:
collect alerts generated by one or more applications;
ratify the collected alerts into predetermined priority categories based on predefined criteria or configured criteria from a configuration file;
and
receive situational data from one or more onboard sensors and one or more platform electronics systems;
determine whether a ratified alert, among the ratified alerts, is to be notified to an operator by performing a first process comprising:
determining whether the ratified alert is to be notified immediately;
in response to determining the ratified alert is not to be notified immediately, determining whether the ratified alert is to be postponed;
and
in response to determining the ratified alert is to be postponed, buffering the ratified alert for a configured wait time and returning to determining whether the ratified alert is to be notified immediately;
and
in response to determining the ratified alert is to be notified to the operator, notify the operator by performing a second process comprising
determining a format and content of an alert notification for a ratified alert;
selecting a notification device to perform the alert notification for the ratified alert;
and
sending a communication to the selected notification device to perform the alert notification.
