Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described for an aircraft network that permits an automatic configuring and/or repairing of the network.
Claims7
A connection switching device for an aircraft network, comprising:
- a switching network;
- and
- a second identification device,
- wherein the switching network is adapted for connecting input/output devices, such that applications may be interconnected or such that an application may be connected to a peripheral device, and
- wherein the second identification device is adapted for detecting an input/output device that is connected to the connection switching device.
2 more elements
An input/output device for an aircraft network, comprising:
- a first identification device that is configured for communicating at least one application running on the input/output device to a connection switching device, the connection switching device comprising:
- a switching network;
- and
- a second identification device,
- wherein the switching network is adapted for connecting input/output devices, such that applications may be interconnected or such that an application may be connected to a peripheral device, and
- wherein the second identification device is adapted for detecting the input/output device that is connected to the connection switching device.
3 more elements
A method for identifying an input/output device, comprising:
- communicating at least one application running on the input/output device to a connection switching device, the connection switching device comprising:
- a switching network;
- and
- a second identification device,
- wherein the switching network is adapted for connecting input/output devices, such that applications may be interconnected or such that an application may be connected to a peripheral device, and
- wherein the second identification device is adapted for detecting the input/output device that is connected to the connection switching device.
3 more elements
A method for identifying an input/output device in a connection switching device, comprising:
- detecting the input/output device with the connection switching device, the input/output device comprising:
- a first identification device that is configured for communicating at least one application running on the input/output device to the connection switching device, the connection switching device comprising:
- a switching network;
- and
- a second identification device,
- wherein the switching network is adapted for connecting input/output devices, such that applications may be interconnected or such that an application may be connected to a peripheral device, and
- wherein the second identification device is adapted for detecting the input/output device that is connected to the connection switching device;
- and
- switching connections of input/output devices, such that applications interconnected or such that an application may be connected to the peripheral device.
