[0011] <System Overview> 1 is a diagram showing an outline of an information processing system according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the information processing system includes an information processing terminal 10, an administrator terminal 11, an unmanned aerial vehicle 20, a management server 30, and a drone information infrastructure system 40.

[0012] The information processing terminal 10 is implemented, for example, by a small tablet-shaped computer. In other embodiments, the information processing terminal 10 may be realized by a portable information processing terminal such as a smartphone or a game console, or may be realized by a stationary information processing terminal such as a personal computer. The information processing terminal 10 may also be realized by a plurality of hardware components, with functions distributed among them. A user U who uses the information processing terminal 10 can perform operations on the touch panel of the information processing terminal 10 to control the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20.

[0013] The administrator terminal 11 is a computer operated by an administrator of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 (for example, an entity that owns a drone and provides services using the drone). The administrator terminal 11 may be realized by a portable information processing terminal such as a smartphone or a game console, or may be realized by a stationary information processing terminal such as a personal computer.

[0014] The manager of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 receives flight permission from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in advance before flying the unmanned aerial vehicle 20. The manager of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 submits a flight application including the flight conditions of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 to the drone information infrastructure system 60 in advance, for example, using a personal computer (not shown). The flight application may include information regarding, for example, the pilot of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20, information identifying the flying unmanned aerial vehicle 20, the flying area, the flying period, the flying altitude, the flight type, and the like. In the drone information infrastructure system 60, flight permission information (contents permitted in a flight permit or contents certified in a unmanned aerial vehicle pilot skill certificate) is generated based on the flight application. The flight permission information includes the above-mentioned flight conditions included in the flight application.

[0015] The drone information infrastructure system 40 may be, for example, an organization or system under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism called DIPS2.0 (Drone Information Infrastructure System 2.0). The drone information infrastructure system 40 provides, for example, permission for flying unmanned aircraft, reports on the flight history of aircraft, and information on accidents caused by aircraft.

[0016] DIPS2.0 may include an organization or system for flight plan reporting (hereinafter, flight plan reporting system). The flight plan reporting system is provided so that pilots of each aircraft can share their flight plans with each other, in consideration of the possibility of near misses or collisions between manned aircraft such as helicopters and unmanned aircraft such as drones. Before flying, the pilot of the unmanned aircraft 20 registers flight plan information such as flight date and time, flight location, flight purpose, flight type, flight route, and flight altitude in the flight plan reporting system. The flight plan information of each aircraft is shared in the flight plan reporting system, and the pilot can check whether there are any flight plans of other manned aircraft or drones in the flight area of ​​the aircraft he or she is piloting, for example, and can inform the pilot of the other aircraft of the flight plan of the aircraft he or she is piloting.

[0017] The management server 30 checks the consistency between the flight permission received in advance from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the flight plan registered by the pilot before the flight, the flight record created by the pilot after the flight, and the flight log recorded by the unmanned aerial vehicle 20. The management server 30 may be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer, or may be logically realized by cloud computing.

[0018] <Information processing terminal 10>

[0019] 2 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the information processing terminal 10. The information processing terminal 10 includes a control unit 11 and a touch panel 12 which is an example of a display unit.

[0020] The processor 11a is a calculation device that controls the operation of the control unit 11, controls the transmission and reception of data between each element, and performs processes required for executing programs, etc. In this embodiment, the processor 11a is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and performs each process by executing a program stored in the storage 11c (described later) and deployed in the memory 11b.

[0021] The memory 11b includes a main storage device configured with a volatile storage device such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), and an auxiliary storage device configured with a non-volatile storage device such as a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), etc. This memory 11b is used as a working area for the processor 11a, and also stores a basic input / output system (BIOS) that is executed when the control unit 11 is started up, various setting information, and the like.

[0022] The storage 11c stores programs, information used for various processes, etc. For example, when a user operates an aircraft for capturing images of an area including a building S1, etc., via the information processing terminal 10, the storage 11c may store a program for controlling the flight of the aircraft.

[0023] The transmission / reception unit 11d connects the control unit 11 to a network such as the Internet, and may include a short-range communication interface such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

[0024] The input / output unit 11e is an interface to which an input / output device is connected, and in this embodiment, the touch panel 12 is connected.

[0025] The bus 11f transmits, for example, address signals, data signals, and various control signals between the connected processor 11a, memory 11b, storage 11c, transmission / reception unit 11d, and input / output unit 11e.

[0026] The touch panel 12 is an example of a display unit, and includes a display surface on which acquired videos and images are displayed. In this embodiment, the display surface accepts information input by touching the display surface, and is implemented using various technologies such as a resistive film type or a capacitive type.

[0027] For example, an image captured by the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 may be displayed on the display surface of the touch panel 12. Information regarding the flight restriction zone of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 may be displayed on the display surface superimposed on the image captured by the unmanned aerial vehicle 20. In addition, buttons, objects, etc. for controlling the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 and controlling the imaging device may be displayed on the display surface. In addition, a user may input information via the touch panel 12 to the images, buttons, etc. displayed on the display surface.

[0028] In this embodiment, the touch panel 12 is given as an example of the display unit, but the present technology is not limited to such an example. For example, the display unit may be realized by a display device such as another display, a monitor, or a smartphone. In addition, the input device for acquiring input information may be realized by a method other than the touch panel 12. For example, the input device may be realized by various input devices such as a mouse, a keyboard, a voice recognition device, and a gaze recognition device instead of the touch panel 12. In addition, the information processing terminal 10 may be realized independently of at least one of the display device and the input device such as the touch panel 12. In this case, for example, the information processing terminal 10 may be realized by one or more servers such as a cloud server, and may be provided so as to be able to communicate with the touch panel 12.

For example, the control module controls the propulsion mechanism (motor 26, etc.) of the air vehicle via an ESC (Electric Speed ​​Controller) 25 to adjust the spatial arrangement, speed, and / or acceleration of the air vehicle having six degrees of freedom (translational motion x, y, and z, and rotational motion θx, θy, and θz). The control module can control one or more of the camera 28, sensors 23C, etc.

[0035] The flight controller 23 can communicate with a transceiver 22 configured to transmit and / or receive data from one or more external devices (e.g., a terminal such as the information processing terminal 10, a display device, or other remote control). For example, the transceiver 22 can utilize one or more of a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), infrared, radio, WiFi, a point-to-point (P2P) network, a telecommunications network, cloud communications, and the like.

[0036] The transceiver unit 22 can transmit and / or receive one or more of the following: data acquired by the camera 28 or sensors 23C, processing results generated by the flight controller 23, specified control data, user commands from the information processing terminal 10 or a remote controller, etc.

For example, the determination unit 315 can compare the flight period, user ID, aircraft ID, flight area, flight altitude, pilot, flight type, etc. included in the flight plan information with the flight period, user ID, aircraft ID, flight area, flight altitude, pilot, flight type, etc. included in the flight permission information, and determine the consistency between the flight plan information and the flight permission information based on, for example, whether they match, whether the difference between them is within a predetermined range, whether the flight period of the flight plan information is included in the period of the flight permission information, whether the area of ​​the flight plan information is included in the area of ​​the flight permission information, etc. The determination unit 315 may be configured to output the determination result.

[0066] When it is determined that there is no consistency between any of the flight permission information, the flight plan information, the flight record information, and the flight log, the notification unit 316 can notify an alert to that effect. The notification unit 316 may notify the administrator of the alert (for example, by sending an alert message to the administrator terminal 11), or may notify the pilot (for example, by sending an alert message to the information processing terminal 10). When it is determined by the determination unit 315 that there is consistency, the notification unit 316 may send a message to the information processing terminal 10 and / or the administrator terminal 11 to the effect that there is consistency. In addition, the notification unit 316 may transmit the determination result of the consistency of the corresponding flight permission information, the flight plan information, the flight record information, and the flight log to the information processing terminal 10 and / or the administrator terminal 11 for each user U.

[0067] <Operation> FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the management server 30. As shown in FIG.

[0068] The management server 30 acquires flight permission information from the drone information infrastructure system 60 (S321), acquires flight plan information from the information processing terminal 10 (S322), acquires flight log information from the information processing terminal 10 (S323), and acquires a flight log from the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 (S324).

[0069] The management server 30 determines the consistency between the flight log and the flight record information (S325), and if there is consistency (S325: YES), determines the consistency between the flight record information and the flight plan information (S326), and if there is consistency (S326: YES), determines the consistency between the flight plan information and the flight permission information (S327), and if there is consistency (S327: YES), can output that the flight permission information, flight plan information, flight record information and flight log are consistent and in compliance with laws and regulations (S328).

[0070] On the other hand, if any of the flight permission information, flight plan information, flight record information, and flight log is not consistent (S325: NO, S326: NO, S327: NO), an alert indicating non-compliance with laws and regulations can be sent (S329). The alert can be sent to, for example, the administrator.

[0071] As described above, the information processing system of this embodiment makes it possible to confirm that the unmanned aerial vehicle 20 flew in accordance with permitted flight conditions.

[0072] Although the present embodiment has been described above, the above embodiment is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and equivalents thereof are also included in the present invention.
