Abstract
A system for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) include one or more storage media storing offline data that comprises verified information associated with a user, an input device configured to receive an input from the user, and one or more processors, individually or collectively configured to determine whether a connection to an online database is established and, if the connection to the database is not established, process the input and the offline data; and manage a flight of the UAV according to the processing of the input and the offline data.
Claims20
A system for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprising:
- one or more storage media storing offline data that comprises verified information associated with a user;
- an input device configured to receive an input from the user;
- a flight regulation module configured to:
- generate or suggest a set of flight plans for the UAV that comply with a set of flight regulations;
- suggest modifications to a first candidate flight plan to put the first candidate flight plan in compliance with the set of flight regulations;
- and
- reject a second candidate flight plan that is in contradiction to the set of flight regulations for the UAV;
- and
- one or more processors, individually or collectively configured to:
- determine whether a connection to an online database is established;
- and
- upon determining that the connection to the database is not established:
- process the input and the offline data to at least determine an inconsistency between the input and the offline data according to a predetermined criterion, the inconsistency being associated with a degree of deviation from the predetermined criterion;
- and
- impose a restriction to a flight of the UAV according to the inconsistency between the input and the offline data, a degree of the restriction being correlated with the degree of deviation from the predetermined criterion.
A method for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the method comprising:
- storing, at one or more storage media, offline data that comprises verified information associated with a user;
- receiving, at an input device, an input from the user;
- with aid of a flight regulation module:
- generating or suggesting a set of flight plans for the UAV that comply with a set of flight regulations;
- suggesting modifications to a first candidate flight plan to put the first candidate flight plan in compliance with the set of flight regulations;
- and
- rejecting a second candidate flight plan that is in contradiction to the set of flight regulations for the UAV;
- and
- with aid of one or more processors, individual or collectively:
- determining whether a connection to the database is established;
- and
- upon determining that the connection to the database is not established:
- processing the input and the offline data to at least determine an inconsistency between the input and the offline data according to a predetermined criterion, the inconsistency being associated with a degree of deviation from the predetermined criterion;
- and
- imposing restriction to a flight of the UAV according to the inconsistency between the input and the offline data, a degree of the restriction being correlated with the degree of deviation from the predetermined criterion.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for managing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the computer readable medium comprising code, logic, or instructions to:
- store, at one or more storage media, offline data that comprises verified information associated with a user;
- receive, at an input device, an input from the user;
- with aid of a flight regulation module:
- generate or suggest a set of flight plans for the UAV that comply with a set of flight regulations;
- suggest modifications to a first candidate flight plan to put the first candidate flight plan in compliance with the set of flight regulations;
- and
- reject a second candidate flight plan that is in contradiction to the set of flight regulations for the UAV;
- and
- with aid of one or more processors, individual or collectively:
- determine whether a connection to the database is established;
- and
- upon determining that the connection to the database is not established:
- process the input and the offline data to at least determine an inconsistency between the input and the offline data according to a predetermined criterion, the inconsistency being associated with a degree of deviation from the predetermined criterion;
- and
- impose restriction to a flight of the UAV according to the inconsistency between the input and the offline data, a degree of the restriction being correlated with the degree of deviation from the predetermined criterion.
