Application: Method and system for pilot support (Patent ID: US20240212365A1)
The patent filed by Raytheon Technologies Corp. describes a biometric sensing system for an aircraft cockpit that includes an infrared camera, infrared illuminators, and a CPU. The system is designed to monitor the alertness level of flight crew members based on biometric characteristics such as posture, eye gaze movement, and head position. The infrared camera captures image data of the upper body region of the crew members, which is then processed by the CPU to determine their alertness level. Additionally, the system can trigger alerts if the crew members' alertness level falls below a certain threshold, either within the cockpit or outside.
Furthermore, the system includes multiple infrared illuminators strategically placed to illuminate specific areas of the crew members' upper body regions, allowing for accurate biometric data capture. The CPU can record and track the alertness levels of crew members over time and communicate this data to an external data collection location. The system also has the capability to integrate wearable biometric sensors to measure additional parameters such as pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, blood oxygen level, and blood pressure. Overall, the system provides a comprehensive solution for monitoring and ensuring the alertness of flight crew members during flights, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
