Problems solved by technology

In some cases, repeated "hijackings" of drones in an area may lead to inferences that an area should be avoided
However, there is currently no way to prevent drones from flying into high-risk areas where they could be hijacked

Embodiment Construction

[0033] Various embodiments will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. References made to particular examples and implementations are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention or the claims.

[0034] Various embodiments facilitate the control of drones into geographic areas with flight restrictions ("restricted areas"). Geographical areas may include areas defined by boundaries (airport approach routes, military bases, etc.) as well as the airspace above these areas (at least to a certain altitude). Geographical areas may also include specific points, eg, facilities, buildings (airports, government buildings, factories, reactors, etc.) and surrounding horizontal and vertical radii (eg, airspace area, height). A restricted area may have various restriction levels and access conditi...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for providing conditional access for a drone for accessing a restricted area. Conditional access information associated with conditional access restrictions for the restricted area may be received by the drone. The drone may compare the received conditional access information to one or more access parameters for the drone. The drone may access the restricted area based on the comparison of the received conditional access information and the access parameter. A drone may take corrective action when the received conditional access information does not permit access to the restricted area based on the access parameter for the drone.

Description

Background technique [0001] As drones become ubiquitous, the chances that a drone may inadvertently or deliberately fly into restricted airspace also increases. Examples of restricted airspace include, but are not limited to: airports, aircraft flight paths, no-fly zones, buildings / skyscrapers, military reservations, stadiums, private property, and other geographic boundaries. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and state agencies continue to develop more guidelines and regulations regarding drone operations of all types (civilian, commercial, recreational, etc.) in the United States. However, currently there is no system that effectively prevents or otherwise restricts drones from entering restricted airspace. There is also nothing effective in preventing drones from flying over private property. [0002] Because drones are so conspicuous, especially when performing a landing, drones are vulnerable to tampering as the public becomes more aware of their increased use f...
