FLIGHT DECK DOOR SURVEILLANCE AND LOCK CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- capturing, by a camera system including at least one camera device positioned within an aircraft, image data of an interior of the aircraft;
determining, by a processing device positioned within the aircraft, that one or more alert criteria are satisfied;
outputting, by the processing device in response to determining that the one or more alert criteria are satisfied, at least a portion of the captured image data of the interior of the aircraft for transmission to a ground-based computing device via a wireless communications network;
receiving, by the processing device from the ground-based computing device via the wireless communications network, a lock override command configured to cause the processing device to unlock an electronically-controlled door lock of a flight deck door of the aircraft; and
unlocking, by the processing device in response to receiving the lock override command from the ground-based computing device, the electronically-controlled door lock of the flight deck door.

Abstract
In one example, a method includes capturing, by a camera system including at least one camera device positioned within an aircraft, image data of an interior of the aircraft. The method further includes determining, by a processing device positioned within the aircraft, that one or more alert criteria are satisfied, and outputting, in response to determining that the one or more alert criteria are satisfied, at least a portion of the captured image for transmission to a ground-based computing device via a wireless communications network. The method further includes receiving, from the ground-based computing device, a lock override command configured to cause the processing device to unlock an electronically-controlled door lock of a flight deck door of the aircraft, and responsively unlocking the electronically-controlled door lock of the flight deck door.

13. A system comprising:
-
a camera system including at least one camera device positioned within an aircraft and configured to capture image data of an interior of the aircraft; and a processing device positioned within the aircraft, the processing device comprising at least one processor and one or more storage devices, the one or more storage devices encoded with instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; determine that one or more alert criteria are satisfied; output, in response to determining that the one or more alert criteria are satisfied, at least a portion of the image data of the interior of the aircraft captured by the camera system for transmission to a ground-based computing device via a wireless communications network; receive, from the ground-based computing device via the wireless communications network, a lock override command configured to cause the processing device to unlock an electronically-controlled door lock of a flight deck door of the aircraft; and unlock, in response to receiving the lock override command from the ground-based computing device, the electronically-controlled door lock of the flight deck door. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
