FLIGHT DECK DOOR SURVEILLANCE AND LOCK CONTROL

摘要

In one example, a method includes capturing, by a camera system including at least one camera device positioned within an aircraft, image data of an interior of the aircraft. The method further includes determining, by a processing device positioned within the aircraft, that one or more alert criteria are satisfied, and outputting, in response to determining that the one or more alert criteria are satisfied, at least a portion of the captured image for transmission to a ground-based computing device via a wireless communications network. The method further includes receiving, from the ground-based computing device, a lock override command configured to cause the processing device to unlock an electronically-controlled door lock of a flight deck door of the aircraft, and responsively unlocking the electronically-controlled door lock of the flight deck door.

1. A method comprising:
capturing, by a camera system including at least one camera device positioned within an aircraft, image data of an interior of the aircraft; determining, by a processing device positioned within the aircraft, that one or more alert criteria are satisfied; outputting, by the processing device in response to determining that the one or more alert criteria are satisfied, at least a portion of the captured image data of the interior of the aircraft for transmission to a ground-based computing device via a wireless communications network; receiving, by the processing device from the ground-based computing device via the wireless communications network, a lock override command configured to cause the processing device to unlock an electronically-controlled door lock of a flight deck door of the aircraft; and unlocking, by the processing device in response to receiving the lock override command from the ground-based computing device, the electronically-controlled door lock of the flight deck door.
