Abstract: A method for transmitting media content from a cloud content delivery network (CCDN) to a plurality of in-flight wireless media servers (WMSs) is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs, position data with respect to at least one of a movement, an altitude, or a geo-spatial location of an aircraft; identifying, by the plurality of in-flight WMSs, one or more elevated in-flight WMSs for receiving the media content. The method for identifying further includes determining a respective content-reception state of each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs; determining a respective content-reception suitability score for each of the plurality of in-flight WMSs; and identifying the one or more elevated in-flight WMSs. The method further includes receiving, by each of the one or more elevated in-flights WMSs, the media content from a suitable CCDN server in the CCDN.

Abstract: An Aircraft Passenger Compliance Monitoring System (APCMS) for automating compliance monitoring for passengers onboard an aircraft is disclosed. In some embodiments, the APCMS includes an onboard server, an onboard network communicatively coupled to the onboard server, and an aircraft passenger compliance monitoring application communicatively coupled to the onboard server and the onboard network. The aircraft passenger compliance monitoring application is configured to receive passenger information related to each of a plurality of passengers. The aircraft passenger compliance monitoring application is further configured to perform a set of monitoring processes from a plurality of monitoring processes on the passenger related information received for each of the plurality of passengers. The aircraft passenger compliance monitoring application is further configured to generate a compliance measure in response to performing the set of monitoring processes.
