Abstract
An information manager may include processing circuitry configured to receive dynamic aircraft information associated with operation of an in-flight aircraft, receive a message from a communication device on the in-flight aircraft for transmission to a ground based content server via a wireless communication network capable of communicating with in-flight assets, and generate an aviation cookie for communication to the content server along with the message. The aviation cookie may be generated based on the dynamic aircraft information and may enable the content server to generate content based at least in part on the dynamic aircraft information.
Claims20
An information manager comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- intercept a message from a communication device on an in-flight aircraft to a ground based content server via a wireless communication network configured to communicate with in-flight assets;
- and
- modify, based on dynamic aircraft information received in association with the in-flight aircraft, the message to include an aviation cookie,
- wherein the aviation cookie includes destination information of the in-flight aircraft, and includes a portion including content or data associated with a function of the aviation cookie.
A system comprising:
- a ground content server;
- an air-to-ground wireless communication network;
- an in-flight aircraft having communications equipment configured to communicate with the ground content server via the air-to-ground wireless communication network;
- and
- an information manager comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- intercept a message from a communication device on the in-flight aircraft to a ground based content server via the air-to-ground wireless communication network;
- and
- modify, based on dynamic aircraft information received in association with the in-flight aircraft, the message to include an aviation cookie,
- wherein the aviation cookie includes destination information of the in-flight aircraft, and includes a portion including content or data associated with a function of the aviation cookie.
