Embodiment Construction

[0046] The Figures present schematic representations that are not drawn to scale.

[0047] In the following description of the figures, the same reference symbols identify the same or similar elements.

[0048] figure 1 A control and monitoring system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control and monitoring system 100 has a ground input and transmission unit 103 operable by ground crew. For example, during passenger check-in, the corresponding cabin layout is defined via this unit 103 . The calculated desired cabin layout is then sent on the data line 102 via the interface 104 of the aircraft 101 to a processing unit in the aircraft.

[0049]This means that a layout transition to the cockpit layout already present in the aircraft is initially identified. The information of the (new) cockpit layout is subsequently, simultaneously or previously uploaded into the aircraft 101 (data upload). This data is then used for rapid reconf...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the reconfiguration of aircraft cabins. According to the invention, there is a control and monitoring system in the aircraft cockpit, which controls the reconfiguration process through corresponding software in combination with reconfiguration data received from ground personnel. The control is achieved, for example, using appropriate optical signaling and unlocking of seats at specific points in time. All operating procedures are indicated audibly and / or visually, allowing untrained personnel to perform the reconfiguration.

Description

[0001] References to related patent applications [0002] This application claims priority from the filing dates of German Patent Application 102009014606.7, filed March 24, 2009, and US Patent Application 61 / 162,788, filed March 24, 2009, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The invention relates to the reconfiguration of the cabin of a vehicle. The invention relates in particular to a semi-automated method for reconfiguring the cabin layout of a passenger compartment of a vehicle, to a control and monitoring system for reconfiguring the cabin layout in an at least partially automated manner, and to an aircraft . Background technique [0004] The reconfiguration of passenger seats in an aircraft or other means of transportation is relatively complicated because the aircraft is not specifically prepared for the purpose of reconfiguration. Seat placement, seat-to-seat alignment adjustments, service aisle and cockpit managem...
