Embodiment Construction

[0026] Embodiments of the present invention address the above-mentioned problems and provide a significant advance in this field by providing a method and system for controlling a flying toy based on its distance from a surface, such as the ground. In some embodiments, the flying toy can emit signals that reflect off surfaces. The signal is then received by a receiver at the flying toy, and the toy is controlled based on the information indicative of the received signal. In some embodiments, the distance between the flying toy and the surface may be the height of the flying toy. It should be noted, however, that the distance between the flying toy and the surface may be in either direction relative to the flying toy.

[0027]In some embodiments, the emitted signal may be analog, such as from a rangefinder emitting a collimated beam. Time can be set for the transmitted signal as the duration of the transmitted signal. Based on the transmission distance of the transmitted sig...

Abstract

A system and method for controlling a flying toy is shown and described herein. The flying toy may transmit a signal and receive a return signal after the signal reflects off of a surface. The return signal may be compared to the transmitted signal to determine information indicative of an error between the transmitted signal and the return signal. A control signal may be sent to a motor to control the speed of the motor based on the information indicative of the error. The motor may operate a propeller to control the distance between the flying toy and the surface.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] There is an earlier filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 988,063, entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A FLYING TOY," filed March 11, 2020, this formal patent application Priority is claimed to all of the same subject matter as described in the above provisional patent application. The provisional patent applications of the aforementioned earlier filings are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention relate to controlling flying toys. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to controlling a flying toy based on a detected height of the flying toy. Background technique [0004] Typical systems and methods for controlling flying toys utilize electric motor driven propellers. In some prior art systems, a signal is emitted from the toy's transmitter, which bounces off a surface, such as the ground or substrate beneath the f...
