Flight Management Warning for Predicted Drone Fall Zones
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional technologies reduce the probability of a flying device falling but do not prevent collisions with vehicles on the ground, as they do not effectively alert or divert vehicles in the falling device's potential impact area.
Innovation Solution
A flight management system that includes a flying device and a flight management device, which identify potential falling scenarios based on battery power and wind conditions, and transmit warning information to vehicles in the predicted impact area via a portable phone network, allowing vehicles to change routes or receive alerts to avoid collisions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If control is performed to increase flight speed when approaching fall avoidance area, then probability of falling in fall avoidance area is reduced, but collision with vehicles on ground may still occur
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of falling risk based on battery power levels and wind conditions before the actual fall occurs. By predicting the fall location in advance and notifying vehicles beforehand, the system enables preventive action rather than reactive response, thus resolving the contradiction between fall avoidance and collision prevention
Solution Approach 2:
The flight management device acts as an intermediary between the flying device and ground vehicles. It receives status information from the flying device, processes fall risk assessment, and transmits notifications to vehicles in the predicted fall area, thereby mediating the interaction and preventing direct harmful effects
2Object-affected harmful factors
If warning information is transmitted to vehicles in predicted fall area, then collision probability is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The flight management device performs multiple functions: it monitors battery power levels, assesses wind conditions, predicts fall locations, and notifies vehicles. By consolidating these diverse functions into a single system, the patent reduces overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive safety coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The flying device autonomously monitors its own battery power levels and transmits this information to the flight management device. The system uses readily available data (battery status, wind information) without requiring complex external sensing infrastructure, thus reducing system complexity while achieving effective fall risk prediction
