Interactive electronic signage system and method of operation for an aircraft
First Claim
1. A signage display system for an aircraft, comprising:
- a controller for receiving input and generating a command wherein the command is associated with a predetermined flight condition necessitating a display of safety information, wherein the flight condition is selected from at least one of taxi, takeoff, landing, and turbulence;
a central controller connected to the controller, the central controller receiving the command and generating a display signal responsive to the command;
at least one peripheral device connected to the central controller, the peripheral device receiving the display signal prompting the device to display the safety information;
an input associated with the peripheral device for receiving an acknowledgement of the safety information and generating an acknowledgement signal responsive to the acknowledgement.
