A computer-implemented system and method processes position information for aircraft located on the ground and provides a notification to a remote user in response to a triggering event. Typically, aircraft position data is received over a digital network. The service accepts requests for notification associated with an identified aircraft and subsequently provides notifications of events based upon the aircraft position data. Upon receiving a user query, a server subsequently retrieves a result set from the aircraft ground position data and determines if an event associated with the identified aircraft has occurred and if so, triggers the notification. In one form, the requested notification may be presented to the user in the form of an HTML message or update, e-mail, telephone call, text message or the some other electronic transmission or message.

System and method for collecting airport ground positional data and transmitting notifications for ground-based aircraft and other airport vehicles

A computer-implemented system and method for the processing and presentation of flight tracking data from a number of sources, with at least one source include a user access restriction, is disclosed. Substantially real-time flight tracking data is received over a digital network from a number of different sources and is stored in at least a database. Various determined flight paths are stores for a single flight based upon the number of flight data sources contributing data regarding that flight. Upon receiving a query from a user, the user's access with respect to the available data providers in retrieved and the best flight for the selected flight which is determined only from data that the requested user is authorized to access is presented. In one form, the results may be presented to the user in the form of digital map having an aircraft image and historical flight path shown.

System and method for presenting flight tracking data to a user based upon the user's access permissions to various sources

A computer-implemented system and method for the processing and presentation of aviation information is disclosed. At plurality of flight information is received over a digital network and is stored in at least a database. The database includes aviation information. Upon receiving a user request, a server retrieves a result set from the database and transmits it to the requesting user. Subsequently, updates as to a flight identified in the request are transmitted at a selected rate, which may be modified automatically based on one flight characteristic, for subsequent display. In one form, the results may be presented to the user in the form of digital map having aircraft images.

System and method for sending air traffic data to users for display

A system and method that automatically, transparently and securely controls software execution by identifying and classifying software, and locating a rule and associated security level for executing executable software. The security level may disallow the software's execution, restrict the execution to some extent, or allow unrestricted execution. To restrict software, a restricted access token may be computed that reduces software's access to resources, and/or removes privileges, relative to a user's normal access token. The rules that control execution for a given machine or user may be maintained in a restriction policy, e.g., locally maintained and/or in a group policy object distributable over a network. Software may be identified/classified by a hash of its content, by a digital signature, by its file system or network path, and/or by its URL zone. For software having multiple classifications, a precedence mechanism is provided to establish the applicable rule/security level.
