Abstract
A system and method for managing an aircraft personal safety device can include an RF signaling device configured to monitor a state or condition of the aircraft personal safety device, and a management device configured to determine the state or condition of the aircraft personal safety device based on communication with the RF signaling device. The method can include associating the RF signaling device with the aircraft personal safety device, and monitoring the state or condition of the aircraft personal safety device by using the management device to receive information from the RF signaling device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an RF signaling device configured to monitor a state of an aircraft personal safety device;
- and
- a management device configured to determine the state of the aircraft personal safety device based on communication with the RF signaling device.
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of RF signaling devices respectively associated with a plurality of aircraft personal safety devices;
- and
- a management device configured to communicate with the plurality of RF signaling devices;
- wherein each of the plurality of RF signaling devices is configured to report information including an identifier, a state and a location to the management device;
- and
- wherein the management device comprises
- a processor configured to process the information reported by the plurality of RF signaling devices, and
- a display device configured to display the processed information, the processed information including a representation of a distribution of the plurality of aircraft personal safety devices in respective locations in a defined space of an aircraft, and a state of each of the plurality of aircraft personal safety devices.
A method, comprising:
- by an RF signaling device, in a response to an event occurring in connection with an aircraft personal safety device associated with the RF signaling device, generating a signal;
- and
- by a management device, in response to the signal, updating information concerning the aircraft personal safety device.
A method, comprising:
- by a management device,
- generating signals to interrogate a plurality of RF signaling devices respectively associated with a plurality of aircraft personal safety devices arranged in a defined space of an aircraft;
- receiving responses from the plurality of RF signaling devices;
- and
- based on the responses, updating information concerning the plurality of aircraft personal safety devices.
