The present invention provides an alert interactive system designed to serve as an alertness tool to ensure that a person, such as an aircraft pilot, a car or truck driver, a soldier or sailor on watch, or a security professional, remains alert. The alert interactive system provides instructions and time for the person to enter a code, and provides an alert to that person and others when the code is not entered timely and correctly. The present invention indicates when the person is not alert, and may be taking a nap, may be fully asleep, or unconsciousness.

1. An alert interactive system for testing an airplane pilot's alertness, the system comprising: a processor configured to provide instructions to a pilot for entering a code or a response to a question;an interface to communicate with cabin crew and an air traffic control center;a timer attached to the processor configured to convey to the pilot when the code or the response is to be entered;an entry means attached to the processor configured to receive the code or the response interactively from the pilot; andan alert means attached to the processor configured to indicate to the pilot, air traffic control center, and cabin crew when the code or the response is not entered. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor detects when the code or the response is not entered correctly. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor detects when the code or the response is not entered timely. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions are provided during a cruise portion of travel or when the pilot needs assistance to be alert. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions are selected from the group consisting of: aviation related questions, trivia questions, and any combination thereof. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the entry means are selected from the group consisting of: a display, a touch screen, an alphanumeric key, a microphone, an alphanumeric rotate-select-and-press dial, and any combination thereof. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the alert means are selected from the group consisting of: audio alert, visual alert, notification to the pilot, notification to flight attendant, notification to air traffic control, notification to employer, notification stored in the alert interactive system, and any combination thereof. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to issue a warning to the pilot and to receive a response to the warning, and issue an alert to the pilot, cabin crew, and the air traffic control center that no response to the warning has been received. 9. An interactive method for testing an airplane pilot's alertness, the method implemented on a processor and comprising: providing instructions to a pilot for entering a code or a response to a question using a processor;establishing a communication link between the processor and an air traffic control center and cabin crew;conveying to the pilot when the code or the response is to be entered interactively by the pilot;determining whether the code or the response has been entered by the pilot; andindicating to the pilot, cabin crew, and air traffic control center when the code or the response to the question is not entered by the pilot. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the processor detects when the code or the response is not entered correctly. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the processor detects when the code or the response is not entered timely. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the instructions are provided during a cruise portion of travel or when the pilot needs assistance to be alert. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the instructions are selected from the group consisting of: aviation related questions, trivia questions, and any combination thereof. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising the steps of: issuing a warning to the pilot,determining whether a response to the warning was received, andissuing an alert to the pilot, cabin crew, and the air traffic control center that no response to the warning was received. 15. An alert interactive device for testing an airplane pilot's alertness, the device comprising: a processor configured to provide instructions to a pilot for entering a code or a response to a question;an interface to communicate with an air traffic control center and cabin crew;a timer attached to the processor configured to convey to the pilot when the code or the response is to be entered interactively by the pilot; anda display attached to the processor configured to receive the code or the response, wherein the processor is configured to indicate to the pilot and air traffic control center when the code or the response is not timely entered. 16. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor detects when the code is not entered correctly. 17. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor detects when the code is not entered timely. 18. The device of claim 15, wherein the instructions are provided during a cruise portion of travel or when the pilot needs assistance to be alert. 19. The device of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to issue a warning to the pilot and to receive a response to the warning, and issue an alert to the pilot, cabin crew, and the air traffic control center that no response to the warning has been received.
