AIRCRAFT DATA PROCESSING AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An aircraft data processing system, comprising:
- a main transceiver adapted to selectively receive aircraft data transmitted from a plurality of client aircraft and to selectively transmit cockpit data to one or more client aircraft;
a data distributor coupled to selectively receive the aircraft data received by the main transceiver and configured, upon receipt thereof, to parse and distribute the aircraft data;
a plurality of data processors in operable communication with the data distributor, each data processor coupled to receive, from the data distributor, a portion of the parsed aircraft data and configured, upon receipt thereof, to process the portion of the parsed aircraft data it receives and supply processed aircraft data; and
a display page maker coupled to receive the processed aircraft data from the plurality of processors and configured, upon receipt thereof, to generate the cockpit data for selective transmission by the main transceiver to the one or more client aircraft,wherein the cockpit data, when processed in a client aircraft, will render one or more images representative of at least portions of the processed aircraft data.

Abstract
An aircraft data processing system includes a main transceiver, a data distributor, a plurality of data processors, and a display page maker. The main transceiver selectively receives aircraft data transmitted from a plurality of client aircraft and selectively transmits cockpit data to one or more client aircraft. The data distributor selectively receives the aircraft data received by the main transceiver and parses and distributes the aircraft data. The data processors receive a portion of the parsed aircraft data, process the aircraft data, and supply processed aircraft data. The display page maker receives the processed aircraft data from the plurality of processors and generates the cockpit data for selective transmission by the main transceiver to the one or more client aircraft. The cockpit data, when processed in a client aircraft, will render one or more images representative of at least portions of the processed aircraft data.

14. An aircraft data processing system, comprising:
-
a plurality of aircraft transceivers, each aircraft transceiver disposed in a client aircraft and configured to selectively transmit aircraft data and receive cockpit data; a main transceiver adapted to selectively receive aircraft data transmitted from a plurality of client aircraft and to selectively transmit cockpit data to one or more of the client aircraft; a data distributor coupled to selectively receive the aircraft data received by the main transceiver and configured, upon receipt thereof, to parse and distribute the aircraft data; a plurality of data processors in operable communication with the data distributor, each data processor coupled to receive, from the data distributor, a portion of the parsed aircraft data and configured, upon receipt thereof, to process the portion of the parsed aircraft data it receives and supply processed aircraft data; a display page maker coupled to receive the processed aircraft data from the plurality of processors and configured, upon receipt thereof, to generate the cockpit data for selective transmission by the main transceiver to the one or more client aircraft; a web hosting server in operable communication with the display page maker, the web hosting server coupled to receive the cockpit data and configured, upon receipt thereof, to at least temporarily store the cockpit data; a main client connection manager in operable communication with the web hosting server, the main client connection manager coupled to retrieve at least selected portions of the cockpit data from the web hosting server and configured, upon receipt thereof, to supply the retrieved cockpit data for transmission to one or more client aircraft; and a main connection manager in operable communication with the main client connection manager and the main transceiver, the main connection manager configured to; determine an optimum transmission link, command the main transceiver to establish communication with one or more client aircraft via the optimum transmission link, and command the main transceiver to receive aircraft data from, and transmit the cockpit data to, one or more client aircraft. wherein the cockpit data, when processed in a client aircraft, will render one or more images representative of at least portions of the processed aircraft data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
