System and method for indicating drones flying overhead

A system comprising:

• a server in communication with a plurality of drones;
• a user device carried by a user and comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
• and
• a non-transitory computer program product containing executable instructions, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having the instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• acquiring a first data associated with a position of the user device, the first data comprising a first latitude and a first longitude and being updated based on movement of the user device;
• detecting a path corresponding to the movement of the user device;
• receiving, from the server at the user device, drone data associated with a plurality of drones in an area where the user device is located;
• filtering the drone data to obtain a second data associated with a position of a drone and a respective drone route which intersects with the path, the second data of the drone comprising a second latitude and a second longitude and being updated based on movement of the drone;
• predicting an intersection area where the drone route intersects with the path, the intersection area having a center indicative of the position of the drone on a display screen of the user device and a circular area with a radius indicative of a preset distance between the drone and the user device;
• determining a distance between the position of the user device and the position of the drone based on the first data and the second data;
• determining whether a determined distance is equal to or less than a preset distance;
• detecting user's travel speed, user's travel direction, and the path based on an update of the first data related to the movement of the user device;
• predicting the drone route and a time that the drone flies overhead of the user based on operational parameters of the drone, the path, the user's travelling speed, and the user's travelling direction;
• and
• instructing, via a display screen of the user device, the user to change the path or a speed of travel down a path for preventing the user from traveling beneath the drone flying overhead when the determined distance is equal to or less than the preset distance.
