Abstract
To ensure stability of flying by an unmanned aerial vehicle, first acquisition means of an unmanned aerial vehicle control system acquires first information, which is at least one piece of information for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle that is flying or information on a result of detecting an operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Second acquisition means acquires second information for operating the unmanned aerial vehicle after switching of control of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Flight control means restricts, in accordance with the first information and the second information, switching to control of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the second information.
Claims12
An unmanned aerial vehicle control system, comprising at least one processor configured to:
- execute first control of an unmanned aerial vehicle based on first instruction information from a first wireless operation device;
- acquire first information, which is at least one piece of the first instruction information or information based on a result of detecting an operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
- wherein the first information includes information on at least one of a first movement direction and first movement speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
- acquire second instruction information for operating the unmanned aerial vehicle from a second wireless operation device;
- wherein the second instruction information includes information on at least one of a second movement direction and second movement speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle;
- compare the first movement direction or first movement speed of the first information and the corresponding second movement direction or second movement speed of the second instruction information and then determine whether or not the first information and the second instruction information match each other or are similar to each other;
- wherein the processor
- permit switching from the first control to a second control of the unmanned aerial vehicle based on the second instruction information without switching to an autonomous flight mode, if it is determined that the first information and the second instruction information match each other or are similar to each other;
- and
- restrict switching from the first control to the second control if it is not determined that the first information and the second instruction information match each other or are similar to each other.
