Patent ID: 8019337

Claim:
An aircraft data transmission system configured to transmit data between the aircraft and at least one transmission station located outside of said aircraft during an internal/external communication, said system comprising: a transmitting/receiving device configured to transmit outgoing data messages to outside of the aircraft and to receive incoming data messages from outside of the aircraft, said incoming and outgoing messages that pass through said transmitting/receiving device being encoded; a message management device connected to said transmitting/receiving device and configured to receive said encoded incoming messages from said transmitting/receiving device and to transmit said encoded outgoing messages to said transmitting/receiving device; wherein said message management device comprises an encoding/decoding unit configured to decode said encoded incoming messages, and to encode decoded outgoing messages, said encoding/decoding unit being further formed to carry out an encoding/decoding of a Packet Encoding Rule (PER) type; at least one man/machine interface unit connected to said message management device and configured to present to an operator the decoded incoming messages output from said message management device that originate from said transmission station located outside of said aircraft and configured to allow the operator to generate messages representing decoded outgoing messages, which are transmitted to said message management device and sent to said transmission station located outside of said aircraft; a compression device that carries out a compression for any data message which is not encoded, is relative to said internal/external communication, passes through said message management device, and is to be recorded, wherein said compression device comprises at least one encoding function of said encoding/decoding unit that is integrated in said message management device and carries out said compression in the form of an encoding of a Packet Encoding Rule (PER) type; and a recording device, said recording device being connected to said encoding/decoding unit and formed to record, on at least one recording medium, any incoming or outgoing data message, which is relative to said internal/external communication, which passes through said message management device and which is encoded according to an encoding of the Packet Encoding Rule (PER) type.
