Automatic configuration control of a device

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices for determining system/device configuration and setting a mode of operation based on the determined configuration. An air vehicle processor: (a) receives a component information set of at least one external component; (b) determine a mode of operation, by the processor having a current mode of operation setting, based on the received component information and at least one of: an initial mode of operation setting and the current mode of operation setting; (c) determines whether all of the one or more received component information sets match a configuration requirement; (d) transitions to a flight-ready status if the determination is a conjunctive match; and (e) transition to a reset status if the determination is not a conjunctive match.

1. A method operational mode determination comprising:
detecting, by a processing unit, the presence of at least one detachably attached external component, wherein the at least one detachably attached external component is at least one of: a lifting surface extension, a tail boom, and a rotor; receiving, by the processing unit, a component information set from each of the detected at least one detachably attached external components; and determining a mode of operation, by the processing unit, based on the received at least one component information set.
