An aircraft cabin having seats with at least one of which is paired with a passenger terminal to communicate wirelessly. A control unit of the seat transmits data on the capabilities for adjusting the seat to the passenger terminal. The passenger terminal transmits instructions for adjusting the seat to the control unit of the seat. The passenger terminal includes application software to interpret the data received from the control unit of the seat to display a representation of the possible adjustments on a screen of the passenger terminal and to interpret actions by an operator on keys of the passenger terminal as instructions for adjusting the seat. A main computer of the cabin handles the communication between the passenger terminals and crew terminals to transmit, via displays on screens of the terminals, requests from a passenger to the crew and from the crew to a passenger or group of passengers.
An aircraft cabin comprising a plurality of seats with at least one seat of said plurality of seats is paired with a passenger terminal, said seat and said paired passenger terminal communicates with each other wirelessly to transmit digital data related to capabilities for adjusting said seat from a control unit of said seat to said paired passenger terminal, and to transmit digital data related to instructions for adjusting said seat from said paired passenger terminal to the control unit of said seat, said paired passenger terminal comprises an application software that interprets the digital data received from the control unit of said seat to display a representation of possible adjustments for said seat on a screen of said paired passenger terminal and interprets actions by an operator on keys of said paired passenger terminal as instructions for adjusting the seat.
Method for managing interactions between at least one passenger terminal communicating a digital data via a wireless connection and at least one seat of a plurality of seats in an aircraft cabin, an application software for managing the interactions is pre-installed in said passenger terminal, comprising:
