Embodiment Construction

[0025] Various embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Where possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or similar parts. References made to specific examples and implementations are for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention or the appended claims.

[0026] Various embodiments facilitate the provision of safety and delivery verification of the delivery drone by hovering the delivery drone at a safe altitude until the purchase code or token is verified (eg, in conjunction with a landing sequence). The various embodiments provide mechanisms that mimic the safety and inspection features of a conventional manual package delivery process but are suitable for unmanned drone delivery.

[0027] In various embodiments, delivery service or goods providers (eg, FedEx, Amazon, etc.) can accept orders for products to be delivered. Delivery can be ordered di...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method, system and device for protecting a drone delivering a cargo package to a delivery destination. A notification may be provided to the purchaser's device that the drone has arrived near the delivery destination. The drone may hover at a safe altitude from a landing zone at the delivery destination. The drone may receive a purchase code associated with the purchase of the package of goods. The drone may verify the purchase code as a condition of landing. When the purchase code is verified, the drone may land in the landing zone at the delivery destination. The drone may abort the landing when the purchase code is not verified. The drone may receive a delivery code associated with completing delivery of the cargo package. The drone may require the delivery code as a condition of releasing the cargo package.

Description

Background technique [0001] The exploration of the use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones in the delivery of goods and products is rapidly expanding. UAVs facilitate rapid point-to-point delivery; however, there are disadvantages. Drones are too eye-catching, especially when trying to land and deliver. Drones may become susceptible to undesired attention from malicious people, in the form of theft, damage, and malicious sabotage to deliver goods and the drone itself. As the drone approaches the delivery area, the drone can be spotted and tracked to its final delivery destination. In addition, these fixed points can be reported on social media, allowing malicious persons to intercept them and / or determine their final destination. UAV delivery can be reserved online. At this time, the delivery destination information and delivery status updates via social media can be intercepted and used to locate the UAV and UAV delivery destination. After delivery, the package is ...
