System and method for cruise monitoring and alerting
First Claim
1. A monitoring system for use with a mobile platform being operated by an operator from within the mobile platform, the system comprising:
- a database for containing operational information and procedures relating to operation of the mobile platform by the operator; and
a processor in communication with the database and with at least one subsystem of the mobile platform for monitoring operational information concerning the operation of the mobile platform, wherein monitoring the operational information comprises;
monitoring for the operator to perform periodic checks in accordance with standard operating procedures of the mobile platform, at one or more expected time intervals while operating the mobile platform, against stored information contained in said database,determining that the operator deviated from the standard operating procedures at the one or more expected time intervals,generating an alert to the operator indicating deviation from the standard operating procedures, andbased on a lack of response from the operator, generating an additional alert to a secondary operator of the mobile platform who is assisting said operator in operating the mobile platform.

Abstract
A monitoring system is disclosed for use with a mobile platform being operated by an operator. The system may make use of a database for containing operational information and procedures relating to the operation of the mobile platform by the operator. A processor may also be used that communicates with the database and with at least one subsystem of the mobile platform for monitoring operational information concerning operation of the mobile platform against stored information contained in the database. The processor may determine if the operation of the mobile platform is proceeding in accordance with predetermined standards.

8. A method for monitoring operation of a mobile platform and alerting at least one operator of the mobile platform when operation of said mobile platform begins to deviate from an expected operation, said method comprising:
-
using a database for containing operational information and procedures relating to the operation of the mobile platform by the operator from within the mobile platform; and using a computer to process information from said database and information concerning operation of said mobile platform, wherein processing the information by the computer comprises; monitoring for expected periodic checks to be performed by the operator at predetermined time intervals, in accordance with a standard operating procedures for the mobile platform, during the operation of the mobile platform, determining when said mobile platform and said operator are following an expected performance course, when said mobile platform or said operator deviates from said expected performance course, generating an alert to said operator, and based on a lack of response from the operator, generating an additional alert to a secondary operator of said mobile platform who is assisting said operator in operating said mobile platform. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for monitoring operation of a commercial transport aircraft and a pilot in command of the commercial transport aircraft when operation of said commercial transport aircraft deviates from an expected operation, said method comprising:
-
using a database for containing operational information and procedures relating to the operation of the commercial transport aircraft by the pilot in command; and using a computer to process information from said database and real time information concerning operation of said commercial transport aircraft, wherein processing the information by the computer comprises; monitoring for expected inputs from the pilot at expected time intervals during operation of the commercial transport aircraft and in accordance with a standard operating procedure for the commercial transport aircraft, to determine when said commercial transport aircraft is following an expected performance course, when said commercial transport aircraft deviates from said expected performance course, generating a real time alert to said pilot in command informing said pilot in command of said deviation, and based on a lack of response from the pilot, generating an additional real time alert to a pilot not in command who is assisting the pilot in command in operating the commercial transport aircraft. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
