Equipment for an airplane seat having at least two states, comprising:
- a first antenna able to transmit a state signal relative to the state of the equipment, and
- a second antenna able to receive a control signal to change the state of the equipment.
A communication method between a controller, the controller including a third antenna, a control unit and a fourth antenna, and equipment of a seat having at least two states and comprising a first antenna and a second antenna, the method comprising the following steps:
- transmitting a state signal relative to the state of the equipment via the first antenna of the equipment;
- receiving the state signal via the third antenna of the controller and a signal requesting a change of the state of the equipment;
- generating a control signal via the control unit, to modify the state of the equipment as a function of the state signal and of the signal requesting to change the state of the equipment received by the third antenna;
- transmitting the control signal via the fourth antenna to the equipment, the control signal depending on the state signal received by the third antenna;
- receiving the control signal via the second antenna of the equipment, and
- changing the state of the equipment based on the control signal received by the second antenna of the equipment.
