Base Station Control Circuit for Emergency Drone Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for drones and similar autonomous devices are inadequate in ensuring safety during emergency situations due to their small size, susceptibility to wind, and lack of essential facilities, making it difficult to navigate to specific locations safely.
Innovation Solution
A circuit and base station system that includes a report unit to provide action-allowable time information and an action control unit to manage device actions based on defined danger levels, using a map in emergency situations, along with a method and recording medium to facilitate this control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If drones are made small and lightweight for versatility and ease of operation, then they can fly more easily and access more locations, but they become more susceptible to wind and environmental factors, reducing flight stability and safety
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a base station as an intermediary between the drone and the control system. The base station receives action-allowable time information from the drone, determines appropriate actions based on this information and map data, then transmits control instructions back to the drone. This intermediary system compensates for the drone's vulnerability to environmental factors by providing external monitoring and control, thereby maintaining flight stability without increasing the drone's size or weight.
2Adaptability or versatility
If drones rely on pre-stored airport facilities and predetermined flight paths for emergency situations, then they have structured protocols for handling emergencies, but this approach is not suitable for drones that can operate vertically and do not require traditional airport infrastructure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic emergency response system where the base station receives real-time action-allowable time information from the drone and dynamically determines appropriate actions based on current conditions and map data. Instead of relying on predetermined flight paths to fixed airports, the system adapts to the drone's actual state and environmental conditions, selecting from multiple possible actions (such as returning to takeoff location, landing at alternative positions, or hovering). This dynamic approach maintains versatility while improving emergency safety.
3Reliability
If the base station determines actions based on action-allowable time information and transmits control instructions, then real-time control and safety monitoring are achieved, but communication delays or failures may prevent timely response to emergencies
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the base station continuously monitor action-allowable time information and prepare control instructions in advance. The system maintains a ready state with pre-configured action options based on map data and historical patterns. When the drone transmits action-allowable time information indicating an emergency condition, the base station can rapidly select and transmit the appropriate pre-prepared control instruction, significantly reducing response time while maintaining reliable safety control.

AI summary
Provided is a circuit including a report unit that reports action-allowable time information regarding an action-allowable time to a base station, and an action control unit that controls an action of a moving object on the basis of an action instruction. The action instruction is decided on the basis of the reported action-allowable time information and notified of by the base station. The action control unit further controls the action with reference to a map in which a danger level for each place is defined in an emergency situation.
