Amakhamera e-Airline seat-back: Ingabe uyabukwa?

Ikhamera yaqala ukubonwa ngemuva kwesihlalo sendiza umgibeli endizeni yaseSingapore Airlines. Umsebenzisi we-Twitter u-Vitaly Kamluk uthumele isithombe sekhamera ebukeka njengengxenye ye uhlelo lokuzijabulisa lwe-inflight (IFE), ebuza: “Ngisanda kuthola lenzwa ethokozisayo ingibheka esihlalweni esingemuva ebhodini le-Singapore Airlines. Noma yimuphi umbono wochwepheshe wokuthi le ikhamera? Mhlawumbe i-@SingaporeAir ingacacisa ukuthi isetshenziswa kanjani?”

Owayeyisisebenzi se-American Airlines naye ukuqinisekisile ukuthi ubone ikhamera kwenye yendiza yayo. Ukubuyela emuva kuJuni 2017, iThe Points Guy yathi eposini ikhamera nayo yabonwa.

Zombili izindiza ziqinisekisile ukuthi amakhamera akhona. Besikwazi kakade lokho ngokusekelwe kuma-akhawunti owazibonela ngawakhe. Kodwa-ke, izinkampani zezindiza zathi amakhamera abengakacushwa futhi ayingxenye “yezingxenye ezingaphandle kweshalofu zabakhiqizi.” Bobabili abathwali bathe abanazo izinhlelo zokuzisebenzisa esikhathini esizayo.

Kwathi ngo-2018, izindiza eziningi zaqinisekisa ukuthi amakhamera afakiwe ezinhlelweni zabo zokuzijabulisa. Izinkampani zezindiza ezihlanganisa i-Singapore Airlines, i-Emirates, ne-American zonke zithi azinazo izinhlelo zokuvula amakhamera.

Izolo nje, inkampani yezindiza yaseHong Kong iCathay Pacific ikuqinisekisile ukuthi kunjalo ukuqapha abagibeli ngamakhamera angaphakathi. Inkampani yenethiwekhi ichaze ukuqoqwa kwayo kolwazi kunqubomgomo yobumfihlo ebuyekeziwe eshicilelwe ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule ekupheleni kukaJulayi 2019.

UCathay ukuqinisekisile ukuthi iqoqa izithombe zabagibeli ngesikhathi besemkhunjini, kodwa uthi izithombe zithwetshulwa ngamakhamera e-CCTV afakwe endizeni hhayi kumakhamera agxilile angemuva. Okhulumela uCathay uthe amadivaysi afanayo awafakiwe kuma-IFE awo. Umkhulumeli uthe kuwumkhuba ojwayelekile ukuvikela amakhasimende kanye nabasebenzi abaphambili nokuthi kunamakhamera eCCTV afakwe ezindaweni zokuphumula ezikhumulweni zezindiza nasezindizeni ezigibelayo ngezinhloso zokuphepha.

Kodwa-ke, inkampani yezindiza iphinde yavuma ukuthi iyaqapha indlela abagibeli abasebenzisa ngayo isistimu yokuzijabulisa endizeni kanye nendlela abasichitha ngayo isikhathi sokuhamba kwendiza. Kunqubomgomo yayo yobumfihlo ebuyekeziwe, inkampani yezindiza ithi ukuqoqwa kwedatha kuklanyelwe ukuthuthukisa umuzwa wokundiza ngokwenza kube ngokwakho okwengeziwe. Inqubomgomo iphinda ithi idatha ingase yabiwe nozakwethu bezinkampani zangaphandle ngezinjongo zokumaketha. Inqubomgomo iyanezela: "Sizogcina idatha yakho yomuntu siqu isikhathi eside njengoba kudingeka."

Nakuba amakhamera enkampani yendiza engase angasebenzi, asabonisa ubungozi bobumfihlo, ngoba noma iyiphi ikhamera exhunywe kudivayisi exhunyiwe inengozi okungenani yokugetshengwa. Cabanga ngemigqa ye-microphone ye-Google engezwa abasebenzisi kusukela kumadivayisi wabo. Into efanayo kubasebenzisi be-Alexa abalalele endlini lapho kuthiwa ikwimodi engasebenzi, okusho ukuthi akekho umuntu oke wayibuza ngombuzo noma umyalo.

“Ingozi yangempela ivela ekufinyeleleni okungagunyaziwe kulawa madivayisi kubahlaseli abanamandla abanonya. Ngokuqondene ne-IFE exhunywe kwi-inthanethi, kungenzeka ukuthi kusetshenziswe i-remote Hack kanye nobunhloli uma lawo madivayisi angasetshenziswa ku-software, "kusho yena.

I-Panasonic Avionics, ehlinzeka ngezinhlelo ze-IFE ze-Cathay Pacific, phambilini ithe ukwesaba ukubhekwa kanye nokwephulwa kobumfihlo "kuyisenzo esibi kakhulu." Le nkampani ithi amakhamera angemuva azoba yingxenye eyamukelekile yokundiza, anikeze amathuba enkomfa yevidiyo yesihlalo nesihlalo, phakathi kokunye ukusetshenziswa.

Njenge-“owie,” zonke lezi zinkampani zezindiza okumelwe zenze ukuze zilungise umonakalo ongase ube khona ezilwaneni ezihlaselayo uwukufaka ibhandishi phezu kwekhamera. Vele uvale ilensi! Yilokho i-United Airlines ekwenzile ukudambisa ukwesaba kwamakhasimende mayelana nobumfihlo bawo.
