Maxposure Limited announced that it has filed a patent for its latest cutting-edge innovation: the Auto PA Pause in Wireless Inflight Entertainment (IFE) System Using Electromagnetic coil for its Wireless Media Streaming Server (WMSS); AeroHub PRO. This technology is designed to enhance the passenger experience by seamlessly integrating real-time PA (Public Address) announcement detection into inflight entertainment systems. This is a strict requirement of Civil Aviation bodies like DGCA, FAA & EASA. No wireless streaming server manufacturer in the world has been able to resolve the issue of achieving PA Pause without human intervention and direct wired connection with the PA system.
Numerous companies have attempted to utilise voice sensors, but these attempts have been unsuccessful, as the sensors capture any noise within the aircraft apart from passenger announcements. Maxposure's AeroHub vertical has provided an effective solution to this challenge. The Auto PA Pause system operates by monitoring the current in the speaker wire to detect voltage changes linked to human speech during PA announcements.
Upon detecting a PA announcement, the system automatically pauses inflight entertainment content, ensuring that passengers do not miss important safety or service messages. Once the announcement concludes, the system smoothly resumes playback, delivering a more convenient and uninterrupted viewing experience. This invention represents a step forward in automating the inflight entertainment system's interaction with the cabin's public address system, a space that has been dominated by manual or audio-based triggers.
The Auto PA Pause technology ensures a higher degree of accuracy and reduces the likelihood of false positives by employing thermal sensing, making it adaptable to a variety of aircraft environments. Maxposure has been recognised for its content marketing and inflight entertainment solutions across industries, and this latest invention further reinforces its presence in the aviation technology space. With this patent filing, Maxposure continues to lead with innovation, advancing its mission to provide intelligent, intuitive, and efficient solutions across industries.
