Abstract
A method of management of a communication device in an aircraft may include transitioning the communication device from a normal mode to a disabled mode based on a calculated device sleep time based on data associated with transportation information of the device. One of these modes may be a state of the device in which a transceiver of the device is deactivated and the other mode may be a state of the device in which the transceiver is activated. Therefore, the device sleep time determines when the wireless device's transceiver may not be activated.

-15. (canceled)
A method, comprising:
- determining a device wakeup time based on an expected delivery time of the device at a final destination;
- transitioning the device from a first mode in which a transceiver included in the device is powered on, to a second mode in which the transceiver is powered off;
- and
- transitioning the device from the second mode to the first mode at the determined device wakeup time.
A system for management of a device, comprising:
- a memory device configured to store a set of instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
- determine a device wakeup time based on an expected delivery time of the device at a final destination;
- transition the device from a first mode in which a transceiver included in the device is powered on, to a second mode in which the transceiver is powered off;
- and
- transitioning the device from the second mode to the first mode at the determined device wakeup time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method including:
- determining a device wakeup time based on an expected delivery time of the device at a final destination;
- transitioning the device from a first mode in which a transceiver included in the device is powered on, to a second mode in which the transceiver is powered off;
- and
- transitioning the device from the second mode to the first mode at the determined device wakeup time.
