System, method and computer program product for real-time event identification and course of action interpretation

A computer-implemented method of identifying events, the method comprising:

• providing, from a memory, a compressed event table including a second number of distinct events and, for each event, a set of state parameters, the compressed event table having been generated from an uncompressed event table including a first, greater number of distinct events than the compressed event table, the uncompressed event table also including, for each event of the uncompressed event table, a unique set of state parameters, the same first number of distinct events being identifiable from both the compressed and uncompressed event tables;
• receiving a plurality of inputs, and at least a portion of the compressed event table or a representation thereof;
• and in response to receiving the plurality of inputs, identifying an event from the compressed event table based upon a comparison between the plurality of inputs and the state parameters of the events of the compressed event table, event being identified in accordance with a state recognition technique, the event being identified by a processor configured to identify an event from the compressed event table;
• and
• coupling to one or more avionics buses an advanced wireless open controller (AWOC) configured to identify events in the data output and configured for selectively recording and transmitting output data and filter out data that does not indicate an event of one or more line-replaceable units (LRU's) to reduce the memory and computing resources.

A computer program product for identifying events, wherein the computer program product comprises at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• a first executable portion configured to provide a compressed event table including a second number of distinct events and, for each event, a set of state parameters, the compressed event table having been generated from an uncompressed event table including a first, greater number of distinct events than the compressed event table, the uncompressed event table also including, for each event of the uncompressed event table, a unique set of state parameters, the same first number of distinct events being identifiable from both the compressed and uncompressed event tables;
• a second executable portion configured to receive a plurality of inputs, and at least a portion of the compressed event table or a representation thereof;
• a third executable portion configured to identify an event from the compressed event table based upon a comparison between the plurality of inputs and the state parameters of the events of the compressed event table, event being identified in accordance with a state recognition technique, the third executable portion being configured to identify the event in response to the second executable portion receiving the plurality of inputs;
• and
• an advanced wireless open controller (AWOC) coupled to one or more avionics buses configured to identify events in the data output and configured for selectively recording and transmitting output data and filter out data that does not indicate an event of one or more line-replaceable units (LRU's) to reduce the memory and computing resources.
