A mounting system configured to mount a personal electronic device (PED) in an aircraft flight deck is provided. The mounting adapter includes: an annunciator light including an LED strip for providing an annunciation regarding the PED; a display disable system mounted within the mounting adapter for disabling the PED display; and a controller configured to: obtain a captured frame of the PED display; send the captured frame to a server for determining whether a problem exists with an image displayed on the PED display; and responsive to receiving an annunciation indicator from the server indicating that the problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display, enable the display disable system to shut off the PED display and command the annunciator light to illuminate in a particular color that indicates that the PED display was shut off because the problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display.

Mounting device adapter and method in a system for displaying mission critical information on an uncertified display

A method for verifying the integrity, continuity, and availability (ICA) of information displayed on an uncertified display is disclosed. The method includes creating application data for display on the uncertified display device that includes a subliminal symbol that is periodically embedded in a few out of multiple tens of frames and that is camouflaged in the application data using steganography; transmitting the application data to the uncertified display device for display; receiving images of the application data displayed on the display screen; determining whether the subliminal symbol is detected in the captured images by extracting the symbol from the captured images and comparing the extracted symbol to an expected symbol; determining that the application data is not corrupted when the extracted symbol matches the expected symbol; and identifying a loss of ICA when the subliminal symbol is not detected or does not match the expected symbol.
