Patent number: 11523237Abstract: A system and method for use of a public address pause module with an onboard entertainment system of an aircraft cabin. The module includes a connector for connecting the module to an aircraft public address speaker and an audio detection circuit connected with respect to the connector. A micro controller unit is connected with respect to the audio detection circuit to determine whether a measured voltage of the public address speaker exceeds a pre-set threshold for a pre-determined time period and to generate a pause signal. A wireless transmitter communicates the pause signal to the onboard entertainment system thereby pausing the onboard entertainment system during onboard use of the public address speaker.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: ASTRONICS CONNECTIVITY SYSTEMS & CERTIFICATION CORP.Inventor: Eric Tarter
