First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of determining a turbulent condition in an aircraft with a handheld device having a gyroscope, seismometer, and an accelerometer, the method comprising:
- receiving an output from each of the gyroscope, seismometer, and accelerometer while the handheld device is located within the aircraft;
comparing, by a processor, the received outputs to corresponding turbulence threshold values for the received outputs; and
providing, by the processor, an indication on the handheld device or the aircraft of a turbulent condition when the comparing indicates at least one of the received outputs exceeds the corresponding turbulence threshold value.
