Abstract
A notification method includes determining, on the basis of positional information regarding a drone and positional information regarding a plurality of terminals carried by an operator who visually observes and operates the drone and one or more visual observers who visually observe the drone, at least either responsible observation areas, which are areas in which the operator and the one or more visual observers are to visually observe the drone, or responsible observation periods, which are periods for which the operator and the one or more visual observers are to visually observe the drone, and notifying the plurality of terminals of at least either the responsible observation areas or the responsible observation periods.
Claims18
A notification method of a timing at which a drone is to be visually observed comprising:
- obtaining, at a notification device having a processor and a memory, drone positional information transmitted from the drone to the notification device;
- obtaining, at the notification device, remote terminal positional information transmitted from a plurality of remote terminals to the notification device, each terminal of the plurality of remote terminals to be held by an operator who visually observes and operates the drone and one or more visual observers who visually observe the drone;
- obtaining, at the notification device, responsible observation areas, which are areas in which the operator and the one or more visual observers are to visually observe the drone;
- determining, on the basis of the drone positional information and the remote terminal positional information, responsible observation periods, which are periods for which the operator and the one or more visual observers are to visually observe the drone, if the responsible observation areas of a first one and a second one of the plurality of remote terminals overlap;
- and
- notifying the responsible observation periods determined in the determining, by transmitting data corresponding to the responsible observation periods.
A notification device for notification of a timing at which a drone is to be visually observed, the notification device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- one or more memories that store a set of executable instructions such that the processor, when executing the set of executable instructions, causes the processor to perform operations including:
- obtaining drone positional information received from the drone;
- obtaining remote terminal positional information received from a plurality of remote terminals, each terminal of the plurality of remote terminals to be held by an operator who visually observes and operates the drone and one or more visual observers who visually observe the drone;
- obtaining responsible observation areas, which are areas in which the operator and the one or more visual observers are to visually observe the drone;
- determining, on the basis of the drone positional information and the remote terminal positional information, responsible observation periods, which are periods for which the operator and the one or more visual observers are to visually observe the drone, if the responsible observation areas of a first one and a second one of the plurality of remote terminals overlap;
- and
- notifying the responsible observation periods determined in the determining, by transmitting data corresponding to the responsible observation periods.
