AI Technical Summary
Current vehicle and unmanned aerial vehicle control systems lack a modular, universal interface that integrates contactless smart cards and are limited by line-of-sight operation and separate communication channels, restricting flexibility and range.
A system combining contactless smart cards, gesture control, and voice commands for vehicle and drone control, enabling direct operation without mechanical switches and offline functionality.
Facilitates flexible, secure, and intuitive control of vehicles and drones using contactless smart cards, gesture, and voice commands, allowing for offline operation and enhanced functionalities like obstacle detection and image data transmission.
Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention relates to the digital control of vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) and in particular the possibility of controlling a vehicle or drone directly via a contactless chip card in conjunction with gesture and / or voice commands. State of the art:
[0002] Current vehicles are typically controlled via mechanical controls or conventional electronic interfaces. Some modern vehicles offer voice-controlled systems, but these are permanently integrated into the vehicle and do not allow for modular expansion through external devices such as contactless smart cards.
[0003] Unmanned aerial vehicles are typically controlled via remote controls or pre-programmed flight routes. Communication between the vehicle and the drone usually takes place via a separate radio system that does not allow integration into the vehicle's operating system.
[0004] A major drawback of existing systems is their lack of flexibility: a modular, universal interface suitable for both vehicles and aircraft does not exist. Furthermore, existing systems are limited to line of sight, short ranges, or separate communication channels. Description of the invention:
[0005] The invention solves problems by combining contactless smart cards, gesture control, and voice commands. The smart card serves as an identification and control device that verifies authorization and simultaneously transmits commands to the vehicle or drone.
[0006] Gesture control allows the user to operate the vehicle or drone directly, without using any mechanical switches. Additionally, voice control enables intuitive and safe operation, even while driving or in situations where visual contact is limited.
[0007] The drone can be mounted on the vehicle's roof, take off ready for deployment, detect obstacles, send image or video data back to the vehicle, and automatically return to a defined location. This is particularly advantageous for rescue operations, surveillance, mapping, or logistics services.
[0008] The control system is designed to function offline, without GPS, Wi-Fi or internet connection, thus ensuring high security and independence from external networks.
