Abstract:
A method of operation for a system incorporating a graphical user interface in a mobile computing device for a crew member within a cabin of an aircraft. The method includes displaying a menu for at least one controllable parameter, receiving a selection of the controllable parameter, displaying at least one control for the selected controllable parameter, receiving a control input for the selected controllable parameter, and adjusting the selected controllable parameter consistent with the control input. The controllable parameter include a plurality of controllable parameters selected from a group encompassing light intensity, light color, temperature, and the degree of openness of at least one window shade. A system and executable computer program product also are provided.
Abstract:
A method and a distributed architecture for representing a location of a fault in an aircraft cabin, comprising: a controller operatively connected to a processor; a crew IO node operatively connected to the controller; the processor being configured to perform: detecting, by the controller, that an event of a system of the aircraft cabin corresponding to a fault has occurred; determining, by the processor, which aircraft cabin section amongst a plurality of aircraft cabin sections is associated with the system for which the event corresponding to the fault has occurred; and displaying, on the crew IO node, (i) a graphical user interface (GUI) component representing at least a portion of the aircraft cabin comprising at least some of the plurality of aircraft cabin sections and (ii) a visual indication identifying the aircraft cabin section associated with the system for which the event corresponding to the fault has occurred.
