Collaborative aviation information collection and distribution system
First Claim
1. An aircraft data processing system, comprising:
- a data receiver adapted to receive aircraft data transmitted from a plurality of subscribing aircraft;
a data transmitter configured to selectively transmit actionable aircraft data to one or more subscribing aircraft; and
a data processor in operable communication with the data receiver and the data transmitter, the data processor configured to;
determine which of the one or more subscribing aircraft should receive actionable aircraft data,determine when and how often the one or more subscribing aircraft should receive actionable aircraft data,generate actionable aircraft data from at least a portion of the received aircraft data and based on the determination of which of the one or more subscribing aircraft should receive actionable aircraft data, andsupply the generated actionable aircraft data to the data transmitter for transmission to each of the one or more subscribing aircraft that should receive the actionable aircraft data.

Abstract
A collaborative aviation information collection and distribution system includes a plurality of aircraft data transmitters and an aircraft data processing system. Each aircraft data transmitter is configured to selectively transmit aircraft data associated with a subscribing aircraft. The aircraft data processing system is in operable communication with each of the aircraft data transmitters and includes a data receiver, a data transmitter, and a data processor. The data receiver receives aircraft data transmitted from each of the aircraft transmitters. The data transmitter selectively transmits actionable aircraft data to one or more of the subscribing aircraft or subscribing ground-based users. The data processor determines which of, and when, the one or more subscribing aircraft or subscribing ground-based users should receive actionable aircraft data, generates actionable aircraft data from at least a portion of the received aircraft data, and supplies the generated actionable aircraft data to the data transmitter for transmission.

15. A collaborative aviation information collection and distribution system, comprising:
-
a plurality of actionable aircraft data receivers, each actionable aircraft data receiver adapted to be disposed in a different subscribing aircraft, each actionable aircraft data receiver configured to receive action aircraft data transmitted thereto; and an aircraft data processing system in operable communication with each of the actionable aircraft data receivers via a wireless communication channel, the aircraft data processing system including; a data receiver adapted to receive aircraft data transmitted from a plurality of aircraft; a data transmitter configured to selectively transmit the actionable aircraft data to one or more of the subscribing aircraft; and a data processor in operable communication with the data receiver and the data transmitter, the data processor configured to; determine which of the one or more subscribing aircraft should receive actionable aircraft data, determine when and how often the one or more subscribing aircraft should receive actionable aircraft data, generate actionable aircraft data from at least a portion of the received aircraft data and based on the determination of which of the one or more subscribing aircraft should receive actionable aircraft data, and supply the generated actionable aircraft data to the data transmitter for transmission to each of the one or more subscribing aircraft that should receive the actionable aircraft data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
