Figure 14 is a conceptual view of a remote real time access to the on board camera
system which can provide emergency responders with a video view of the cockpit status and
the status of the cabin. This video data can be included in the black box data enabling
investigators to see a visual of cockpit and cabin area.
Figure 15 is a conceptual view of an of the internet (13) protocol (ip) based data center
which can be comprised of a multiple based data center for storing and retrieving the black
box data. The remote center keeps a copy of all black box data that was streamed to it and
cannot be accessed without an decryption algorithm to decrypt the flight data.
Figure 16 is another view of the remote data center 25 which can be located anywhere in
the world and which may also be accessed via the internet using TCP/IP protocol. Data
centers can also be linked by serial communications links in any serial communications
protocol
Figure 17 is a conceptual view of a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) which allows both
Voice and Video Communications via the Camera System. A VoIP network can be
established between the internet (13) and the satellite or cellular communications system
allowing the transfer of voice and video which can be very helpful to investigators who may
need to know the status of the aircraft.
The invention may also be deployed as a single wireless ejectable unit without video as
shown in Figure 18. In this scenario, the sole and single flight data recorder would eject upon
a crash impact
Figure 19 demonstrates how the GPS receiver connects to NAVSTAR GPS PRECISE
POSITION services may be used in order to track the flight and to locate the flight recorders.
The "p-code" offered by this service provides the exact GPS coordinates of the flight data
recorder. As shown in the diagram, authorized users or investigators can remotely access
the GPS coordinates of the apparatus eliminating all possibilities of losing the apparatus.
