Definitions

  • Methods and apparatus for delivering information content from a ground based content provider to mobile platforms operating within a predefined coverage region and more particularly to a content delivery coordinator system and method which allows a ground based operator of the mobile platforms to select specific types of content to be made available to the mobile platforms under various selected conditions and criteria defined by the operator.
  • one user on aircraft A operating within a coverage region may request the online version of the WALL STREET JOURNAL®, whereafter this information is delivered via the satellite communications link to aircraft A.
  • the user on aircraft A may only view this content for twenty minutes, and then user A on aircraft B may request the same content. This would necessitate using additional transponder bandwidth to deliver the same content to aircraft B.
  • transponder resources can end up being used quite inefficiently if the availability of information content is not managed and its delivery is not coordinated in an efficient way.
  • the present system is directed to a content delivery coordinator system and method which manages delivery of various types of information content to a plurality of mobile platforms operating within a given coverage region, where each of the mobile platforms are in communication with the present system via a transponded satellite communications link.
  • the present system more specifically involves a content management coordinator system and method making use of a graphical user interface (GUI) to provide a wide variety of options to an operator associated with the mobile platforms such that the operator can select and tailor the delivery of various types of information content to the mobile platforms.
  • GUI graphical user interface
  • the operator is in communication with the graphical user interface by any suitable means, such as via a wide area network, for example the Internet connection. Through the GUI, the operator can effectively program the delivery of various types of information content to each of its associated mobile platforms.
  • the operator may comprise an airline and the mobile platforms may comprise aircraft operating within a given coverage region being served by the transponded satellite.
  • the content management coordinator makes use of a suitable delivery mechanism for transmitting the information content to the transponded satellite, which in turn transponds the information to one or more mobile platforms.
  • the graphical user interface provides a wide variety of selections to enable the operator to define criteria that enable information content to be supplied in a much more effective and efficient fashion to the mobile platforms.
  • criteria may include one or more of the following:
  • the content management coordinator system in one preferred embodiment, further manages the file storage on one or more of the mobile platforms and deletes files as needed from a server on board the one or more mobile platforms. This ensures that adequate storage space is available on each mobile platform for the specific information content being requested by a mobile platform.
  • the content management coordinator system provides cost information to the operator that enables the operator to select certain types of information content that may be made available to the mobile platforms, upon their request, based on various costs associated with the supply of the information. This allows the operator to further tailor the types of information content that may be made available to each mobile platform accessing the system in a manner that allows the operator to manage the overall cost incurred in supplying the information.
  • the graphical user interface allows the operator to designate different types of information content that may be made available to its associated mobile platforms operating in different satellite coverage regions, as well as other criteria to further tailor the delivery of information content to mobile platforms operating in different coverage regions.
  • the graphical user interface also provides information informing the operator which mobile platforms are operating in which geographic coverage regions, and further allows the operator to place restrictions on the delivery of specific types of content in accordance with a given geographic coverage region.
  • information content may be made available to some mobile platforms operating in a first geographic coverage region, while that same information content may be restricted from mobile platforms operating in a different geographic coverage region.
  • passengers on the mobile platform can access the graphical user interface of the system either from their homes, via a wide area network, or even from the mobile platform after boarding.
  • the passengers can use the graphical user interface to select specific types of information content to be made available to them after boarding, as well as to select seat assignments, meal options and other helpful items.
  • the present system and method thus more effectively allows various types of information content such as web pages, news articles, video files, software or any other form of information content available in electronic form, to be coordinated and aggregated more efficiently before the content is transmitted to mobile users in one or more distinct satellite coverage regions, or even to mobile platforms traversing more than one satellite coverage region.
  • information content to be more efficiently packaged before the information content is provided to the delivery mechanism and from there to the satellite transponder, or transponders, operating within one or more coverage regions.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified representation of a plurality of mobile platforms operating within a plurality of geographic satellite coverage regions, and wherein each of the satellites include a transponder which is in communication with a content management and coordinator system of the present system via a delivery mechanism;
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one preferred form of the present system interfacing with a well known delivery mechanism, with a mobile platform, and with a ground based operator of the mobile platform;
  • FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating the operations performed by one preferred embodiment of the present system.

  • the wide area network connection 14 may be an Internet connection or any other form of connection allowing bidirectional communications between the mobile platform operator 12 and the system 10 .
  • the system 10 is further interfaced via a wide area network 16 with a plurality of regional information content centers 18 a, 18 b and 18 c.
  • Regional content centers could alternatively be sea-based or space-based centers.
  • Network 16 may also comprise the Internet.
  • Each of the information content centers 18 are interfaced with the network 16 via bidirectional network connections 20 a, 20 b and 20 c respectively.
  • Each regional information content center 18 provides selected information content to an associated delivery mechanism 21 a, 21 b and 21 c, which in turn delivers the content via a network connection 22 a, 22 b and 22 c.
  • Network connections 22 a, 22 b and 22 c supply the content to a corresponding terrestrial base station 24 a, 24 b and 24 c, respectively.
  • Each base station 24 a, 24 b and 24 c is further in bidirectional communications with the system 10 via an associated network connection 26 a, 26 b and 26 c, respectively.
  • Each base station is also in bidirectional communication with a transponded satellite 28 a, 28 b and 28 c, respectively.
  • Base stations 24 could also be space-based.
  • Each of the transponded satellites 28 a, 28 b and 28 c are associated with a given coverage region 30 a, 30 b and 30 c.
  • each coverage region 30 is shown a single mobile platform 32 a, 32 b and 32 c, respectively, however, it will be appreciated that each region may have more than one mobile platform operating therein or alternatively may have no mobile platforms operating therein.
  • the mobile platforms 32 are illustrated only for exemplary purposes as commercial aircraft, that the present system 10 is applicable for use with any type of mobile platform such as ships, trains, busses, trucks, or other motor vehicles.
  • the mobile platforms 32 for the purpose of discussion only, will be referred to as “aircraft” 32 .
  • the mobile platform operator 12 interfaces with the content management coordinator system 10 to select various types of information content that are to be made available to the aircraft 32 operating within each of the coverage regions 30 .
  • the mobile platform operator 12 also is able to place restrictions on the various types of information content that can be supplied to each of the aircraft 32 operating within the various coverage regions 30 a, 30 b and 30 c.
  • Each aircraft 32 further includes an onboard transmitting system and file server (not shown) for storing information content received from the base station 24 associated with its given coverage region 30 .
  • One exemplary type of onboard system which may be used by the aircraft 32 is described in U.S. application Ser. No. 10/008,401, mentioned previously herein, and hereby incorporated by reference into the present application.
  • Each aircraft 32 can request various types of information content from its associated content center 18 . The content will be delivered if the content has been authorized by the system 10 and, if so, in accordance with various criteria established by the mobile platform operator 12 .
  • the system 10 includes a graphical user interface (GUI) 34 and a file space storage monitoring subsystem 36 .
  • GUI graphical user interface
  • the system 10 is in communication via the wide area network connection 14 with the mobile platform operator 12 .
  • the mobile platform operator 12 has been illustrated, it will be appreciated that in practice a plurality of mobile platform operators 12 may be in communication with the system 10 via one or more network connections.
  • the graphical user interface 34 provides the mobile platform operator 12 with a number of selections or options for tailoring the availability of information content to its associated aircraft 32 operating within the various coverage regions 30 a, 30 b and 30 c.
  • the graphical user interface 34 provides the following exemplary selections:
  • the above options made available to the mobile platform operator 12 are merely meant for exemplary purposes, and that other various forms of selections or criteria may easily be implemented through the system 10 to further allow the operator 12 to tailor the information content made available to each aircraft 32 .
  • the criteria established by the operator 12 allows content such as web pages, news articles, advertisements, streaming video files, software, email access, etc. to be coordinated and aggregated by the system 10 to most efficiently use the limited resources available from each satellite transponder 28 in each coverage region 30 .
  • system 10 can be used to coordinate and aggregate the delivery of specific advertising materials to an operator's website so that the advertisements can be uploaded to the aircraft 32 traveling within one or more specific coverage regions at specific times of day, such as at peak times where a maximum number of aircraft are expected to be operating within the coverage region(s). This feature could potentially enhance revenue generation for the operator 12 operating the aircraft 32 by maximizing the possibility that the advertising materials would be viewed by the greatest number of passengers.
  • Another implementation would be to use the system 10 to deliver flight information, rental car information, or any other penitent information to travelers at specific times of day or for specific time periods throughout the day. Still another implementation would be to use the system 10 to schedule the delivery based on highest demand times for entertainment materials, streaming video of news, sporting events, televisions shows, or other financial information with or without additional advertising materials, that could be offered for a fee or for no fee to passengers on the aircraft.
  • a key aspect is that the information content or advertising content is packaged, aggregated and delivered to passengers on the aircraft 32 in a logical and efficient manner that most efficiently uses the limited transponder bandwidth available for serving a given coverage region.
  • the file storage monitoring subsystem 36 is also preferably incorporated with the content management coordinator system 10 .
  • the monitoring subsystem 36 enables the system 10 to monitor the availability of the file storage space on the file server on each aircraft 32 , and to delete previously stored information on the file server as needed so that sufficient storage space is available for newly requested information content. This further ensures that transponder bandwidth will only be used to provide information content to a given aircraft 32 when sufficient storage space is available, or made available, by the monitoring subsystem 36 for storing the newly requested information content.
  • the monitoring subsystem 36 could further monitor the entry or departure of each mobile platform 32 within each of the coverage regions 30 to allow information content being transmitted to a given coverage region to be terminated if the aircraft 32 within that specific coverage region should leave the region. This feature also enables one or more specific types of information content 12 to be automatically transmitted to an aircraft 32 that enters a given coverage region 30 , in accordance with previously selected criteria by the mobile platform operator 12 .
  • the system 10 optionally provides for the ability of a user, for example a passenger of attendant 38 , to access the system 10 and select information content remotely from his/her home or office, or possible even from the mobile platform 15 .
  • the user/attendant accesses the GUI 34 and is provided with various content options, as allowed by the operator 12 .
  • the user/attendant can select various forms of information content to be provided to him/her during his/her travel on the mobile platform 15 . Additional information such as seat assignment information or meal request selections could also be coordinated through the system 10 .
  • the user/attendant could also be provided with rental car information or reservation options at this time.
  • the mobile platform operator 12 interfaces with the GUI 34 of the system 10 to define criteria upon which one or more types of information content are to be made available to its associated aircraft 32 operating within each coverage region 30 , as indicated at operation 40 .
  • the content coordinator 10 provides instructions to the delivery mechanism 21 associated with each regional content center 30 , as indicated at operation 42 . These instructions define the criteria upon which various types of information content are to be provided to the aircraft 32 operating within a given coverage region 30 .
  • the delivery mechanism 21 provides the content to the aircraft 32 operating within the coverage regions 30 in accordance with the criteria defined by the mobile platform operator 12 .
  • the file space storage monitoring subsystem 36 of the system 10 monitors the available storage space on each aircraft 32 and deletes previously stored information as needed to ensure that newly requested information content from the aircraft 32 is able to be stored thereon.
  • the system 10 checks the GUI 34 to determine if the operator has made any changes to the criteria by which information content is to be delivered to the aircraft 32 , as indicated at operation 48 . If no changes have been made, then the delivery mechanism 21 continues to deliver the information content in accordance with the criteria defined by the mobile platform operator 12 , as indicated at operation 44 . If any changes have been made by the mobile platform operator 12 , then the system 10 so instructs the delivery mechanism 10 so that subsequently requested information content is only made available to the aircraft 32 in accordance with the newly defined criteria from the mobile platform operator 12 .
  • the system 10 thus enables a wide variety of information content to be coordinated, aggregated and delivered to various mobile platforms operating within one or more predefined geographic coverage regions in a manner which most effectively makes use of the limited bandwidth of each transponded satellite operating within each coverage region.
  • the system 10 allows various types of information content to be defined by the mobile platform operator 12 , as well as to allow the mobile platform operator to set restrictions on the delivery of various types of information content to one or more specific coverage regions 30 , and further to coordinate the delivery and availability of various types of information in accordance with costs, with time of day, with the importance of a specific type of information being requested, and with other factors.
  • the system 10 further ensures that transponder bandwidth will be used efficiently by monitoring the space available for file storage on each mobile platform and deleting old files as needed to ensure that newly requested information content can be stored by the mobile platform and made available to users thereon.
  • the system 10 further enables users such as passengers of attendants working on the mobile platform 32 to select various forms of information content for use before boarding the mobile platform, or even while on the mobile platform.
