Abstract
A landing management device sets a partition, in a predetermined landing area, on the basis of information of an unmanned aerial vehicle that lands on a landing area, the partition being obtained by virtually partitioning a part of the landing area, and transmits landing control information to a control device, in order to make the unmanned aerial vehicle land on a partial area corresponding to the partition. The control device controls landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle on the basis of the landing control information received from the landing management device.
Claims14
A landing management device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- setting code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to set a partition, in a predetermined landing area, on the basis of information of an unmanned aerial vehicle that lands on the landing area, the partition being obtained by virtually partitioning a part of the landing area;
- and
- processing code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to perform processing to make the unmanned aerial vehicle land on a partial area corresponding to the partition,
- wherein in a case where a scheduled period from when the unmanned aerial vehicle has landed on the partial area corresponding to the partition until the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off is a first predetermined period or more, the setting code is further configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to reduce the partition.

A landing management device comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and at least one processor configured to access the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- setting code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to set a partition, in a predetermined landing area, on the basis of information of an unmanned aerial vehicle that lands on the landing area, the partition being obtained by virtually partitioning a part of the landing area;
- and
- processing code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to perform processing to make the unmanned aerial vehicle land on a partial area corresponding to the partition,
- wherein in a case where a distance to the landing area from a current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle in flight becomes a predetermined distance or less, or in a case where a period from current time to scheduled landing time of the unmanned aerial vehicle on the landing area becomes a predetermined period or less, the setting code is further configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to reset a new partition in the landing area instead of the partition already set.

- setting code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to set a partition, in a predetermined landing area, on the basis of information of an unmanned aerial vehicle that lands on the landing area, the partition being obtained by virtually partitioning a part of the landing area;
- and
- processing code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to perform processing to make the unmanned aerial vehicle land on a partial area corresponding to the partition,
- wherein the setting code is further configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to set a new partition in the landing area on the basis of a setting state of the partition in the landing area as of a reservation request time to be reserved by the unmanned aerial vehicle for landing.
