Abstract
An unmanned flight equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an aerial vehicle capable of flying in an unmanned manner; an abnormality recognition part-configured to recognize an abnormal situation in which a determination is made that it is difficult for the aerial vehicle to continue flight; and an alarm device held on the aerial vehicle and configured to be detached from the aerial vehicle and to warn neighborhood of abnormality when the abnormality recognition part recognizes the abnormal situation.
Claims16
An unmanned flight equipment comprising:
- an aerial vehicle capable of flying in an unmanned manner, the aerial vehicle comprising a body and legs disposed on a lower portion of the body and configured to support the body at a time of landing, wherein the body is configured to accommodate a battery, and an aerial vehicle controller configured to control an unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle that is powered by the battery;
- an abnormality recognition part configured to, during the unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle, receive a signal from the aerial vehicle controller of the aerial vehicle, and recognize, from the received signal, an abnormal situation in which a determination is made that it is difficult for the aerial vehicle to continue the unmanned flight;
- and
- an alarm device disposed on the lower portion of the body of the aerial vehicle and adjacent to the legs of the aerial vehicle, the alarm device being configured to be, based on recognition of the abnormal situation by the abnormality recognition part during the unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle, detached from the aerial vehicle, the alarm device being configured to, based on being detached from the aerial vehicle, descend prior to the aerial vehicle, and activate an alarm mechanism to output warning of abnormality to a neighborhood.
An alarm device configured to be held on an aerial vehicle that is capable of flying in an unmanned manner, the aerial vehicle comprising a body and legs disposed on a lower portion of the body and configured to support the body at a time of landing, wherein the body is configured to accommodate a battery, and an aerial vehicle controller configured to control an unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle that is powered by the battery,
- the alarm device comprising an abnormality recognition part configured to, during the unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle, receive a signal from the aerial vehicle, and recognize, from the received signal, an abnormal situation in which a determination is made that it is difficult for the aerial vehicle to continue the unmanned flight, wherein
- the alarm device is disposed on the lower portion of the body of the aerial vehicle and adjacent to the legs of the aerial vehicle, and
- based on recognition of the abnormal situation by the abnormality recognition part during the unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle, the alarm device is detached from the aerial vehicle, descends prior to the aerial vehicle, and activates an alarm mechanism to output warning of abnormality to a neighborhood.
An aerial vehicle capable of flying in an unmanned manner, the aerial vehicle comprising:
- a body and legs disposed on a lower portion of the body and configured to support the body at a time of landing, wherein the body is configured to accommodate a battery, and an aerial vehicle controller configured to control an unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle that is powered by the battery;
- an abnormality recognition part configured to, during the unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle, receive a signal from the aerial vehicle controller of the aerial vehicle, and recognize, from the received signal, an abnormal situation in which a determination is made that it is difficult to continue the unmanned flight;
- and
- an alarm device release apparatus configured to release an alarm device, which is disposed on the lower portion of the body of the aerial vehicle and adjacent to the legs of the aerial vehicle, based on recognition of the abnormal situation by the abnormality recognition part, the alarm device being configured to, based on being released from the aerial vehicle, descend prior to the aerial vehicle, and activate an alarm mechanism to output warning of abnormality to a neighborhood.
An alarm device release apparatus mountable to an aerial vehicle that is capable of flying in an unmanned manner, the aerial vehicle comprising a body and legs disposed on a lower portion of the body and configured to support the body at a time of landing, wherein the body is configured to accommodate a battery, and an aerial vehicle controller configured to control an unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle that is powered by the battery, the alarm device release apparatus comprising:
- an abnormality recognition part configured to, during the unmanned flight of the aerial vehicle, receive a signal from the aerial vehicle, and recognize, from the received signal, an abnormal situation in which a determination is made that it is difficult for the aerial vehicle to continue the unmanned flight, wherein
- the alarm device release apparatus is detachably disposed on the lower portion of the body of the aerial vehicle and adjacent to the legs of the aerial vehicle, and
- based on recognition of the abnormal situation by the abnormality recognition part by receiving a signal indicating a determination that the abnormal situation has occurred from the aerial vehicle, the alarm device release apparatus releases an alarm device, the alarm device being configured to, based on being released from the aerial vehicle, descend prior to the aerial vehicle, and activate an alarm mechanism to output warning of abnormality to a neighborhood.
