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.
Claims20
A method performed by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- calculating a device sleep time based on received transportation information associated with the device;
- adjusting the device sleep time by adding a time buffer to the device sleep time;
- transitioning the device from a powered on mode to a disabled mode;
- and
- automatically transitioning the device from the disabled mode to the powered on mode after expiration of the adjusted device sleep time.
A system for management of a device, comprising:
- a memory device that stores a set of instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to perform a method, including:
- calculating a device sleep time based on received transportation information associated with the device;
- adjusting the device sleep time by adding a time buffer to the device sleep time;
- transitioning the device from a powered on mode to a disabled mode;
- and
- automatically transitioning the device from the disabled mode to the powered on mode after expiration of the adjusted device sleep time.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including:
- calculating a device sleep time based on received transportation information associated with the device;
- adjusting the device sleep time by adding a time buffer to the device sleep time;
- transitioning the device from a powered on mode to a disabled mode;
- and
- automatically transitioning the device from the disabled mode to the powered on mode after expiration of the adjusted device sleep time.
