Abstract

This is a video recording surveillance device inside an airplane, such as in the cockpit, passenger area, washroom, etc.; this is by video-audio recording the scenes and saved over a period of, say, last 30 minutes, on a continuous (say, in a "loop" tape recording) basis. This is for forensic use only, all recording being appropriately confidential, and to be used under strict rules and regulations as legally permitted. If not used for the purpose, all such recordings are to be erased after a certain period, say, 366 days.
For the ease of retrieval, say from an ocean bed, an automatically inflating (after a certain period) balloon (like, say, automobile air-bag) may bring the recording instrument to the surface of the water. This device may emit light, sound, smoke, electronic etc. signals for ease of spotting.

Description

Patent Application : VIDE;O SURVE?ILLANCE INSIDE AIRPLANE
Inventor : BIBHUTI BIIUSAN BARDI~.AN
Page-2 (of4) Background of Invention The "Black Boxes", such as tt~e cockpit voice recorder, in an airplane after a crash (with destruction of the aircraft and the people therein) do not always provide a complete, or even sufficient, information of what in fact was happening inside the airplane, such as during a hijacking, or accident inside the airplane. A video recording of certain strategic s~reas, such as the cockpit, may provide greater and more authentic information on the actual goings on during an emergency.
Moreover, retrieval of such recording, ss~y from the ocean floor, is often a very difficult and painstaking task (possibly at the peril of it being totally lost). For this purpose, a balloon may be attached to the recording instrument which (the balloon) will automatically inflate (like an automobile air-bag) after a certain period, say 48 hours, during which period the searching officials would be expected to be on or around the scene. In addition, for the ease of spotting, once on the surface of the water, the floating instrument may emit lights, sounds, smoke, electronic or ~~uch other signals automatically.

Patent Application : VIDE,O SURVEILLANCE INSIDE AIRPLANE
Inventor : BIBHUTI BHUSAN BARDI-IAN
Page-3 of4) Description of Invention A video surveillance camera is placed stt-ategically at certain spots inside an airplane to record on a continuous "loop" recording tape the lata;st period of a certain duration, say, last 30 minutes-the latest recording over-recording the recordings of any earlier period (say, previous to last 30 minutes, as in the present instance).
This or these recordings are stored and saved in a secure container, similar to the so-called "Black Box" of an aircraft.
Let me term this present invention a "Video Black Box".
For ease of retrieval of this "Video Blaclc Box", say from the bottom of a sea or ocean or such other water beds, it is fitted with a device comprising a balloon that will automatically inflate after a certain (pre-determined) period, and some signalling system that will be turned on automatically once the "Video Black Box" is on the surface of the water.
Construction of such devices ;as the said balloon and the signalling system are of common knowledge (say, for example, an automobile air-bag). The delay in triggering the said devices may be achieved by, say, an ordinary timing device.
lfiis recording device in the present invc;ntion is for strict forensic use only, all recording being appropriately confidential, an~3 to be used under strict rules and regulations as legally permitted. If not used for the purpose, all such recordings are to be erased after a certain period of time, say, 366 days. For ensuring their sense of personal confidentiality, the passengers, crew, etc.
may be reassured that the recordings will never be viewed or listened to unless there was some specified necessity, such as an accident, and that, even in the latter case:, these will be used by strictly authorized personnel only. The courts, if involved, may be re~auested or expected to use strict discretion in using the information collected in the said device.
