Monitoring module for a seat of a passenger aircraft, monitoring device and passenger aircraft

Abstract

A monitoring module (6) for a seat (10) of a passenger aircraft (2), which seat (10) contains at least one element (12a-g) having at least two states (Z1,2), comprises at least one sensor (14a-g) for the element (12a-g), having state information (16) corresponding to the current state (Z1,2), a readout unit (18) having a communication channel (20) for the state information (16) to the sensor (14a-g) and a communication interface (22) for the state information (16) to a monitoring unit (8) of the passenger aircraft (2). The sensor (14a-g) is a camera or a capacitive seat occupancy sensor. A monitoring device (4) for a passenger aircraft (2) contains monitoring modules (6) and a monitoring unit (8), which is configured for at least two of the monitoring modules (6) together. A passenger aircraft (2) contains a monitoring module (6) and/or a monitoring device (4).
