Abstract:
Systems and methods are described herein for automatically monitoring a status or position of a vehicle component. Both powered and non-powered (or passive) systems are contemplated. The systems and methods utilize a sensor that signals when a vehicle component, such as an arm rest, a tray table, a seat back, or a window shade is in a predetermined position. The signal can be received by a processor and transmitted to a central server that can provide a report of the status of the various vehicle components to an attendant or crew member to quickly apprise them of the status of the various components without requiring manually checking each component.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for automatically detecting a position of a vehicle component, comprising:\n gathering energy from surroundings of a seat assembly using an energy collector; storing the energy in an energy storage device electrically coupled to the energy collector; providing energy to a processor electrically coupled to the energy collector; receiving, by the processor, data from a sensor communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to provide a signal to the processor when the vehicle component is in a designated position; and providing, by the processor, an instruction to a communication device communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising a transmitter; automatically generating a transmission, by the communication device, on receipt by the communication device of the instruction from the processor, wherein the processor is configured to automatically generate the instruction on receiving the signal from the sensor.
