METHOD, SYSTEM, AND EXECUTABLE PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CONTROLLING PASSENGER SERVICES
First Claim
1. A system for controlling passenger services, comprising:
- a sensor adapted to sense at least one of a position of a seat, a presence of passenger in the seat, a position of at least one hand of the passenger, a configuration of the at least one hand of the passenger and a direction of movement of the at least one hand of the passenger and generate a signal representative of the at least one of the position of the seat, the presence of passenger in the seat, the position of the at least one hand of the passenger, the configuration of the at least one hand of the passenger and the direction of movement of the at least one hand of the passenger;
a first light source disposed at a first predetermined location with respect to the seat;
an air supply disposed at a predetermined location with respect to the seat;
a window shade disposed at a predetermined location with respect to the seat; and
a controller operatively connected to the sensor to receive the signal and generate a control signal to be received by at least one of the first light source, the air supply and the window shade, where the control signal controls at least one parameter associated with at least one of light generated by the first light source, air supplied by the air supply, and a degree of openness of the window shade.

Abstract
A system for controlling passenger services includes a sensor that generates a signal representative of the at least one of the position of the seat, the presence of passenger in the seat, the position of the at least one hand of the passenger, the configuration of the at least one hand of the passenger and the direction of movement of the at least one hand of the passenger. A first light source, an air supply, and a window shade are disposed at a predetermined locations with respect to the seat. A controller, connected to the sensor, generates a control signal that controls at least one parameter associated with at least one of light generated by the first light source, air supplied by the air supply and a degree of openness of the window shade.

12. A method for controlling passenger services, comprising:
-
receiving, by a controller, at least one of a first input signal from a sensor, wherein the first input signal concerns at least a position of a seat adapted to receive a passenger therein, a second input signal from the sensor, wherein the second input signal concerns at least a presence of the passenger in the seat, and a third input signal from the sensor, wherein the third input signal concerns at least one of a position, orientation, and directional motion of at least one hand of the passenger; and adjusting, by the controller, at least one parameter associated with at least one of light generated by a first light source, air supplied by an air supply, and a degree of openness of a window shade, based on the first input signal, the second input signal, and the third input signal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An executable computer program product embodying instructions for a method of operation of a passenger service system, wherein the instructions comprise steps to:
-
receive, by the controller, at least one of a first input signal from a sensor, wherein the first input signal concerns at least a position of a seat adapted to receive a passenger therein, a second input from the sensor, wherein the second input signal concerns at least a presence of the passenger in the seat, and a third input from the sensor, wherein the third input signal concerns at least one of a position, orientation and direction of motion of at least one hand of the passenger; and adjust, by the controller, at least one parameter associated with at least one of light generated by a first light source, air supplied by an air supply, and a degree of openness of a window shade, based on the first input signal, the second input signal, and the third input signal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
