System and method for providing pre-flight briefing information to a user device
First Claim
1. An automated method of providing pre-flight briefing information to a remote user device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the remote user device via a data communication network, a customized pre-flight briefing request that includes a user-specified presentation format, a user-specified language, and a user-specified geographic region;
in response to receiving the customized pre-flight briefing request, interrogating at least one data source to obtain pre-flight briefing data;
processing the pre-flight briefing data in accordance with the user-specified presentation format, the user-specified language, and the user-specified geographic region, resulting in processed pre-flight briefing data, wherein processing the pre-flight briefing data comprises;
decoding at least some of the pre-flight briefing data into a first text format; and
translating the first text format into a second text format corresponding to the user-specified language;
generating at least one presentation file from the processed pre-flight briefing data; and
providing the at least one presentation file to the remote user device.

Abstract
An automated method and related system of providing pre-flight briefing information to a remote user device are presented here. The system receives, from the remote user device via a data communication network, a customized pre-flight briefing request that includes a user-specified presentation format, a user-specified language, and a user-specified geographic region. In response to receiving the customized pre-flight briefing request, at least one data source is interrogated to obtain pre-flight briefing data. The pre-flight briefing data is processed in accordance with the user-specified presentation format, the user-specified language, and the user-specified geographic region, resulting in processed pre-flight briefing data. The system generates at least one presentation file from the processed pre-flight briefing data, and provides the at least one presentation file to the remote user device.
