  • Patent number: 11858640
    Abstract: Described is an aircraft suite having an aircraft seat for use by a passenger, the aircraft suite also having a controller, for controlling a number of output states of the aircraft suite, the controller having a logic condition receiver for receiving a logic condition input, and distance measurement equipment for measuring a distance between a first location within the suite and a second location within the suite, and providing a distance input to a distance receiver of the controller, wherein, in use, the controller controls at least one of the output states of the aircraft suite based upon both the logic condition input and the distance input. The invention also provides a method of controlling an environment within an aircraft suite.

  • Publication number: 20230024865
    Abstract: An aircraft passenger suite (100) is provided. The suite (100) comprises an aircraft seat (110) for use by a passenger. The suite (100) also comprises a controller for controlling a number of output states (240) of the suite, the controller comprising a logic condition receiver operable to receive a logic condition input (210). The suite (100) also comprises sensor equipment operable to provide a sensor input (220) to the controller, the sensor input (220) providing an indication of at least one attribute of a passenger of the suite (100). The sensor equipment comprises one or more of: an image sensor (151, 152) a pressure sensor (154) and a physiological sensor. The controller is configured to control at least one of the output states (240) of the suite based on both the logic condition input (210) and the sensor input (220).
