Embodiment Construction

[0050] According to a selected implementation, an in-flight entertainment system 2, also referred to as an IFE system, is equipped on the cabin of the aircraft. The IFE system 1 comprises a central system 10 incorporating one or more servers, hereinafter named central server, which includes hardware and software resources for broadcasting various services, such as video-on-demand, music, games, flight information, to assembly LCD screen 11 on the backrest of the passenger seat Si.

[0051] Other separate terminals available at the passenger seat can also be taken into account, such as an IFE separate controller, also named PCU (Passenger Control Unit) 13 (not represented in figure 1 above), which allows browsing and selection among menus recommended by the central server 10 and displayed on a separate screen 11.

[0052] The display screen 11 and optionally the separate controller 13 are connected to the network 12 by means of an IFE-specific box 54 installed in the passenger...

Abstract

The invention generally pertains to onboard systems for passengers such as In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) Systems. The invention more particularly relates to a system and a method for accessing a personal computer device onboard an aircraft and to an aircraft including such a system. The system includes an onboard network to which is connected at least one interface at a passenger's seat, connection means for connecting said personal computer device to the onboard network, and the system is arranged so that said interface and said personal computer device interact via the transmission of data on said onboard network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is related to the field of aviation and generally relates to on-board systems for passengers such as in-flight entertainment systems (In-Flight Entertainment [IFE] System in English). [0002] More particularly, the present invention is recommended for a system and method for accessing personal information equipment onboard an aircraft. The invention also relates to an aircraft equipped with a system according to the invention. Background technique [0003] The IFE system is widespread in current commercial aircraft and it allows the expansion of in-flight services offered to passengers, such as on-demand movie services, radio broadcast services, in-flight real-time information services. An IFE system usually includes one or more central servers with service execution intelligence, a foldable display fixed on each passenger-facing seat (front seat) and a Interactive remote controls, and a network that connects these various devi...
