Abstract
A master controller and various nodes capable of performing disparate functions are configured to cause devices to manipulate an aircraft seat. The nodes operate independently and without interference of the master controller. The master controller provides programs to the nodes. A node initiates a program when commanded to do so by the master controller resulting in a device manipulating an aircraft seat or otherwise operating in conjunction with the aircraft seat. The node also monitors and provides various real time information and performs calibration, power management, diagnostic and other similar types of operations.
Claims49
An aircraft seat control system comprising:
- master controller;
- and
- at least one node coupled to the master controller, the at least one node including a program;
- wherein the program is initiated to manipulate an aircraft seat device when a command is received from the master controller.
A node of an aircraft seat control system, the node comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- a microcontrol unit configured to retrieve the program and manipulate an aircraft seat device based on the execution of the program and upon receipt of a command to execute the program.
An aircraft seat control system comprising:
- aircraft seat having at least one aircraft seat device;
- master controller;
- and
- at least one node coupled to the master controller, the at least one node including a program;
- wherein the program is initiated to manipulate the at least one aircraft seat device when a command is received from the master controller.
