Abstract

The invention discloses a unified passenger service unit (PSU). The unified passenger service unit (PSU) control concentrically incorporates a reading light, a gasper outlet, and a notification ring within a control knob rotatable or pushable (via a pushbutton or the control knob itself) by an occupant of the aircraft seat to which the PSU control corresponds. The notification ring may be activated by the passenger or by the cabin crew, and may be visible throughout the aircraft. The notification rings may indicate an attendant call, or be activated by the crew in groups or waves to direct passenger activity. The PSU control includes a user interface (Ul) display that serves as a control interface for the gasper outlet and reading light. The Ul display may also show indicators or messagessent by the cabin crew.

This is especially true for grouped PSUs that replicate these components for a group of adjacent passenger seats. Furthermore, conventional PSUs cannot provide the cabin crew with communication with passengers (other than announcements broadcast to the cabin as a ...
