Application: Vehicle control usage monitoring (Patent ID: US20240104978A1)
The patent filed by The Boeing Co. describes a method and system for monitoring vehicle controls by receiving sensor data from a ranging system that monitors the space associated with the controls. When objects are detected in this space, the system saves state data, including position data of the objects, to onboard memory. The system can also transmit this data to an external recording system, and the objects can include fingers or thumbs of the vehicle operator, with the memory potentially being part of a flight recorder system.
The system includes a ranging system, processors, and memory to monitor vehicle controls by analyzing sensor data and saving state data when objects are detected. This data can indicate interactions with specific controls and can be transmitted to an external recording system via a communication system. The system can detect the start of an event based on alerts or external communication, sending relevant data accordingly. Additionally, the vehicle itself can have controls, a ranging system, a computing system, and memory to monitor and store data on objects in the control space, with the ability to transmit this data to an external system via a communication system based on event detection.
