Patent number: 10511948Abstract: An inflight entertainment system for use in an aircraft displays commands to a passenger to move a passenger electronic device (PED) between locations defined relative a seatback display device and the passenger's seat. The system measures received signal strength indications (RSSIs) from discoverable PEDs over time while the PED is moved between the locations, and selects one of the PEDs that satisfies a defined rule for an amount of change that is observed over time in the measured RSSIs for that PED. The system then establishes a connection through a Bluetooth transceiver with a Bluetooth transceiver of the selected PED.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Thales Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Khosro Rabii, Jean-Yves Couleaud, Pierre Schuberth, Pankaj Trivedi, Thomas Jackson

Patent number: 10464675Abstract: An entertainment system includes a docking station having a wired interface, a display unit, and a wireless controller. The display unit includes a video display device and a processor that communicates through a Bluetooth transceiver and the wired interface of the docking station. The wireless controller includes a processor that communicates through a wired interface and a Bluetooth transceiver. The wireless controller is releasably docked in the docking station to communicatively connect the wired interfaces of the wireless controller and the docking station. While docked in the docking station the processors of the wireless controller and the display unit communicate through the wired interfaces of the wireless controller and the docking station to establish a Bluetooth connection between the Bluetooth transceivers of the wireless controller and the display unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Thales Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Khosro Rabii, Jean-Yves Couleaud, Pierre Schuberth, Jay Eggenberger, Pankaj Trivedi

Patent number: 10405369Abstract: A slave Bluetooth device establishes first and second connections with first and second master Bluetooth devices, respectively, that each operate in a master mode. The slave Bluetooth device operates in a slave mode when communicating through any of the first and second connections. The slave Bluetooth device communicates connection parameter update request packets containing timeout values to the first and second master Bluetooth devices. The slave Bluetooth device alternates during non-overlapping time slots between at least: 1) monitoring the first connection for traffic transmitted by the first master Bluetooth device while not monitoring the second connection; and 2) monitoring the second connection for traffic transmitted by the second master Bluetooth device while not monitoring the first connection; and controls a rate at which the alternating is performed based on the first timeout value and the second timeout value.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Thales Avionics, Inc.Inventors: Khosro Rabii, Jean-Yves Couleaud, Pankaj Trivedi, Pierre Schuberth, Terence Lei
