Patent number: 9095001Abstract: A method of management of a wireless device in an aircraft may include transitioning the wireless device from a first mode to a second mode based on data that is indicative of a change in flight condition of the aircraft. One of these modes may be a state of the device in which a transmitter of the device is deactivated and the other mode may be a state of the device in which the transmitter is activated. The data indicative of the change in flight condition may either be downloaded to the device from an external source, acquired from a sensor(s) embedded in the device, or may be determined based on both the data acquired by the sensor(s) and data downloaded to the device.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATIONInventors: Andrew N.
