Customizable Flight Tracking Display for Private Aviation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for presenting flight information, such as arrival and departure boards, are inadequate for private or chartered aircraft, lacking customization and personalization, which are essential for upscale airport operations serving a smaller number of passengers.
Innovation Solution
A customizable flight tracking display system that uses near real-time flight data to provide value-added information, allowing users to select and sequence content based on flight status, including automatic instructions for ground services and personalized messages, linked to the status of private or chartered flights.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a standardized flight tracking display system is used, then system complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but adaptability and personalization capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The display system dynamically adapts its content and presentation based on flight status, client preferences, and operational context. The system transitions from static standardized displays to dynamic personalized displays that automatically adjust according to real-time flight data and pre-configured client preferences, resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and personalization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes display parameters such as information content, presentation format, and timing based on flight phase and client-specific preferences. By allowing parameter customization without increasing operational complexity, the system achieves both ease of use and high adaptability for private aviation clients.
2Adaptability or versatility
If customized value-added information is integrated into the display system, then adaptability and client satisfaction are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Client preferences and display parameters are pre-configured before flights arrive. This preliminary setup allows the system to automatically deliver personalized content during flight operations without requiring complex real-time decision-making or manual intervention, thus achieving high customization capability while maintaining manageable system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically selects and displays appropriate information based on pre-configured preferences and real-time flight status, without requiring manual configuration during operations. This self-service capability enables extensive customization while keeping the operational interface simple and the overall system complexity controlled.
3Reliability
If real-time flight tracking data is continuously monitored and processed, then information accuracy and client service quality are improved, but energy consumption and system resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system monitors flight data continuously but processes and updates displays at optimized intervals based on flight phase and information relevance. This periodic processing approach maintains high information accuracy for critical decisions while reducing unnecessary computational overhead and energy consumption during stable flight conditions.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer-implemented system and method for the processing and presentation of customizable aviation information is disclosed. At plurality of flight information is received over a digital network and is stored in at least a database. The database includes aviation information as well as aviation related content and advertisements. The user is able to customize a series of screen layouts for display using a combination of screen segments containing content stored at least partially in the database. In addition, the user may create personalized messages and status update for display in response to a variety of flight conditions. In one form, the results may be presented using a large display monitor by an aircraft service provider. Additionally, the display may include only flight tracking information relevant to recent and future customers.
