Sky Domain Platform for Airspace Matching and Flight Authorization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current airspace management systems do not effectively facilitate the matching of airspace registrants and users, leading to inadequate management and safety concerns as the number of drones increases, with a lack of solutions for airspace utilization and transaction processes.
Innovation Solution
A server device and system that issues a sky domain specifying an airspace, formed of multiple domain information types, enabling communication for airspace registration, search, and transaction processing, facilitating matching between airspace registrants and users through a network-based platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional airspace management is used, then flight safety management becomes more rigorous, but airspace utilization efficiency deteriorates due to lack of matching mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server device as an intermediary between airspace registrants (landowners) and airspace users (drone operators). The server manages sky domain registrations, handles search requests, and processes transactions, facilitating efficient matching while maintaining safety through centralized control and authorization mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the airspace management system into distinct functional components: sky domain registration (defining airspace boundaries and rights), search functionality (finding available airspace), and transaction processing (facilitating rentals or purchases). This segmentation allows each component to operate independently and efficiently, improving overall system productivity while maintaining reliability.
2Reliability
If rigorous airspace management is implemented, then flight safety is improved, but transaction and utilization processes become more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The server device performs multiple functions within a single unified platform: it registers sky domains, processes search requests, manages transactions, and maintains authorization records. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate systems for each operation, simplifying the overall process while maintaining comprehensive safety management.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables airspace registrants and users to independently complete registration, search, and transaction processes through automated server processing. The server automatically matches users with available airspace, processes payments, and generates authorization records, reducing manual intervention and procedural complexity while maintaining rigorous safety standards.
3Productivity
If centralized server management is used, then airspace utilization efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server acts as a centralized intermediary that simplifies the interaction between multiple airspace registrants and users. Instead of requiring direct peer-to-peer negotiations and matching, all transactions route through the server, which automatically processes requests, manages data consistency, and maintains authorization records, improving efficiency without requiring complex distributed coordination protocols.
Data Source
AI summary
A server device of the present invention is capable of establishing communication with an information terminal and issues a domain that specifies an airspace and is formed of at least first to third domain information. The server device includes: an entry processing unit configured to process a domain issuance request from the information terminal; and a domain issuance unit that issues a sky domain in response to the issuance request. The information terminal transmits at least area information and third domain information. The domain issuance unit issues a sky domain indicative of an airspace in which the first domain information is a predetermined character string, the second domain information is a character string corresponding to the area information, and the third domain information is a character string transmitted from the information terminal.
