Anti-terrorist aircraft pilot sensor system and method
| Details |
Inventors: McBain, Theodore;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Marc-Coleman; Marthe Y.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Sierra Patent Group, Ltd.
An anti-terrorist aircraft pilot sensor system is disclosed. The anti-terrorist pilot sensor system comprises a pilot sensor and an aircraft central processor unit operatively coupled to the pilot sensor. The aircraft central processor unit includes a transceiver operatively coupled to the aircraft central processor unit. An autopilot of the aircraft is operatively coupled to the aircraft central processor unit. A ground control remote from the aircraft is operatively coupled to the aircraft central processor unit and the ground control includes a transceiver coupled to the ground control. An aircraft override is operatively coupled to the ground control and is operatively coupled to the aircraft central processor unit. A divert element is operatively coupled to the central processor unit and the divert element includes a transceiver. The ground control is in operative communication with the divert element. A protected object including a transceiver and a divert beacon is in operative communication with the divert element. A method of operating an anti-terrorist aircraft pilot sensor system comprises activating the anti-terrorist aircraft pilot sensor system. The method includes detecting a divert beacon transmitted from a protected object. The method includes transmitting a signal from a divert element to a central processor unit of the aircraft that the divert beacon exists. The method includes processing the signal in the central processor unit and activating an aircraft autopilot onto a divert flight path. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Persons of ordinary skill in the art will realize that the following description of the present invention is illustrative only and not in any way limiting.
Other embodiments of the invention will readily suggest themselves to such skilled persons having the benefit of this disclosure.
FIG.
1 illustrates a schematic of an exemplary anti-terrorist aircraft pilot sensor system, or simply, pilot sensor system 10.
The pilot sensor system 10 includes a pilot sensor 12.
The pilot sensor 12 is operatively coupled to an input component 14 that provides data input for activation and deactivation of the pilot sensor 12.
For example, the input component 14 can be a keypad with alphanumeric keys that are configured to accept user inputs, such as, a code in order to activate or deactivate the pilot sensor 12.
The input component 14 can also be audio or video, bar code reader, microphone, camera, thermal imager, eye retinal scanner or any combination thereof, for inputting a code to activate the pilot sensor 12.
The pilot sensor 12 comprises a sensor or a plurality of sensors 16 that sense various biometric and/or physiological information of at least one of a pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft.
Fingerprints or eye retina patterns are non-limiting examples of biometric information sensed by the sensors 16.
The sensors 16 can also measure physiological parameters, such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, and the like.
The sensors 16 can be specific to the parameters sensed, such as a biometric sensor 18 or a physiological sensor 20.
The biometric sensor 18 senses biometric parameters, such as, fingerprints, eye retina patterns, and the like.
The physiological sensor 20 senses physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, or even adrenaline levels, and the like.
The pilot sensor 12 is operatively coupled to an aircraft central processor unit 22.
The aircraft central processor unit 22 includes a processor, micro-processor and any combination thereof, such that information can be processed, and programs can be executed
