  • Publication number: 20240430316
    Abstract: A communication system comprises an onboard server situated onboard a mobile platform, a remote server situated outside the mobile platform, the remote server configured to generate one or more live video channels for use by the onboard server, a virtual media client situated onboard the mobile platform, and a scoring subsystem, wherein the scoring subsystem is configured to generate a confidence score for the virtual media client based at least in part on first and second sets of performance data, wherein generating the confidence score involves comparing the first set of performance data to the second set of performance data.

  • Publication number: 20240354097
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for deploying software on mobile venues. The software deployment systems and methods described herein operate using software containers and container orchestrators to provide modular updates to software onboard mobile vehicles. The software deployment systems include a modular update delivery module, a container orchestrator, and a venue update manager. The modular update delivery module maintains a registry of containers. The container orchestrator requests from the modular delivery module a correct version of one or more containers to run. The venue update manager receives order for software for a mobile venue and generates venue specifications based on the ordered software. The modular update delivery module determines which containers in the container registry correspond to the ordered software when a request comes from the container orchestrator and delivers the containers to the mobile venue to deploy the ordered software.

  • Patent number: 12113841
    Abstract: A communication system comprises an onboard server situated onboard a mobile platform and a remote server situated outside the mobile platform. The remote server is configured to generate one or more linear media channels for use by the onboard server. The communication system further comprises a virtual media client situated onboard the mobile platform. The virtual media client is configured to receive linear media channels from the onboard server and transmit performance data to the onboard server. The onboard server is configured to receive one or more media requests from a plurality of user media clients onboard the mobile platform. The one or more media requests specify one or more linear media channels.

  • Publication number: 20240129212
    Abstract: A data transmission system for a mobile platform comprises non-volatile data storage media, a network interface, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to establish a first connection with one or more onboard passenger service devices providing a passenger service at the mobile platform using the network interface. The control circuitry is further configured to receive a set of system log data from the one or more onboard passenger service devices via the network interface and store one or more log signatures in the non-volatile data storage media. The control circuitry is further configured to detect faults fault related to onboard passenger service devices, store transmission rule data that includes rules for filtering system log data, filter the set of system log data based on the transmission rule data, and transmit a subset of system log data to the remote computing device via the network interface.
