Patent ID: 8907662

Claim:
An aircraft or spacecraft, comprising: a cabin management system; passenger-related means; and a system, comprising: a first vehicle part, which comprises one or more primary windings; a second vehicle part, which comprises one or more secondary windings for a magnetic interaction with the one or more primary windings and can be arranged in various positions relative to the first vehicle part; an energy supply device, which is set up to charge the one or more primary windings with a voltage or current in a first mode of the system; a measuring means, which is set up so as to measure a resulting current flowing through the one or more primary windings or a resulting voltage at the one or more primary windings; and an evaluation means, which determines a current position of the second vehicle part relative to the first vehicle part as a function of the resulting current or voltage; the evaluation means supplying the current position of the second vehicle part to the cabin management system, and the cabin management system activating the passenger-related devices which are assigned to the current position of the second vehicle part.
