Integrated cockpit sensing system
In one embodiment, a system includes, but is not limited to, an aviation head-mounted communication device including at least: a speaker, a physiological sensor configured to obtain physiological data, and a wireless communication interface; and a smartphone, a smartwatch, or tablet device wirelessly linked to the wireless communication interface and configured to receive the physiological data and output the physiological data on a display.
1. A system comprising:
an aviation head-mounted communication device including at least:
an oximeter configured to obtain physiological data,
a communication interface, and
a processor configured to process the one or more images and the physiological data, including at least:
detect at least one abnormal condition based on one or more blood oxygen values, and
transmit via the communication interface to an avionics system an instruction to automatically control a navigation unit and an autopilot of an aircraft to divert the aircraft to a local airport based on the at least one abnormal condition.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the oximeter is disposed in a headband.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the oximeter is disposed in a cushion.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the oximeter is disposed in an insert device.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a camera device having an eye-facing field of view and configured to detect eye information.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an orientation sensor configured to determine head orientation information.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a movement sensor configured to determine head movement information.
8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
augmented reality eyewear.
9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an environmental sensor.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the environmental sensor is a carbon monoxide sensor.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the environmental sensor is an ambient oxygen level sensor.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the aviation head-mounted communication device comprises a helmet.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the aviation head-mounted communication device comprises a headset.
14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
augmented or virtual reality eyewear.
15. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
an oxygen container.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to electronically adjust an oxygen valve to increase a blood oxygen saturation level to a specified threshold value.
17. An aviation head-mounted communication device comprising:
an oximeter configured to obtain physiological data;
a communication interface; and
a processor configured to process the physiological data, including at least:
detect at least one abnormal condition based on one or more blood oxygen values, and
transmit via the communication interface to an avionics system an instruction to automatically control a navigation unit and an autopilot of an aircraft to divert the aircraft to a local airport based on the at least one abnormal condition.
