Automatic Emergency Reporting
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing automatic emergency reporting, the method comprising computer-implemented operations for:
- receiving values of aircraft state parameters collected from one or more sensors arranged within an aircraft;
determining whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft; and
responsive to the determination of whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft, initiating an emergency reporting function, the emergency reporting function transmitting a report containing the collected values of the aircraft state parameters to a ground system via a data-link.

Abstract
Technologies are described herein for providing automatic emergency reporting. The technologies are adapted to receive values of aircraft state parameters collected from one or more sensors arranged within an aircraft. The technologies then determine whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft. Responsive to the determination of whether the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft, the technologies initiate an emergency reporting function. The emergency reporting function may transmit a report containing the collected values of the aircraft state parameters to a ground system via a data-link.

9. A system for providing automatic emergency reporting, the system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory coupled to the processor; and a program module (i) which executes in the processor from the memory and (ii) which, when executed by the processor, causes the system to provide automatic emergency reporting by receiving values of aircraft state parameters collected from one or more sensors arranged within an aircraft, the sensors collecting data regarding condition or operation of the aircraft, determining whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft by comparing the collected values of the aircraft state parameters to normal values of the aircraft state parameters, the normal values of the aircraft state parameters comprising numeric values and/or statuses of one or more parameters, and responsive to the determination of whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft, initiating an emergency reporting function, the emergency reporting function transmitting a report containing the collected values of the aircraft state parameters to a ground system via a data-link. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
receive values of aircraft state parameters collected from one or more sensors arranged within an aircraft, the sensors collecting data regarding condition or operation of the aircraft; determine whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft by comparing the collected values of the aircraft state parameters to normal values of the aircraft state parameters, the normal values the aircraft state parameters comprising numeric values and/or statuses of one or more parameters; responsive to the determination of whether the collected values of the aircraft state parameters indicate normal or anomalous operation of the aircraft, initiate an emergency reporting function, the emergency reporting function transmitting a report containing the collected values of the aircraft state parameters to a ground system via a data-link; and upon initiating the emergency reporting function, cause a visual display in instrumentation on the aircraft to display an indication that the emergency reporting function has been initiated. - View Dependent Claims (20)
