Abstract
A flying device that flies by being controlled from an external location, the flying device including a determination unit that determines a communication quality on a first wireless communication channel used for transmitting data to a control device that controls the flying device within a prescribed range from a flight position at which the flying device is flying; and a transmission control unit that controls a type of data to be transmitted to the control device on the basis of the communication quality determined by the determination unit.
Claims20
A control device comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive, from a communication terminal, via a base station in a mobile telephone network, a usage request for a wireless communication channel on the mobile telephone network;
- a determination unit configured to, on the basis of terminal information contained in the usage request received by the reception unit, determine a terminal type of the communication terminal and a data type of data transmitted by the communication terminal;
- and
- a priority level control unit configured to
- make a priority level for allocation of wireless resources higher than the priority level of a case where a first condition is not satisfied when the first condition is satisfied, wherein the first condition represents that the terminal type determined by the determination unit is a flying device and the data type is flight data indicating a flight state of the flying device, or
- make the priority level for allocation of the wireless resources higher than the priority level of a case where a second condition is not satisfied when the second condition is satisfied, wherein the second condition represents that the terminal type of the communication terminal is a flight control device for controlling the flying device and the data type is control data for controlling the flying device,
- wherein the priority level control unit acquires electric field strength information indicating an electric field strength in a vicinity of the flying device, and further determines the priority level for allocation of the wireless resources on the basis of the electric field strength information, when the first condition is satisfied.

A control method comprising:
- receiving, from a communication terminal, via a base station in a mobile telephone network, a usage request for a wireless communication channel on the mobile telephone network;
- determining, on the basis of terminal information contained in the received usage request, a terminal type of the communication terminal and a data type of data transmitted by the communication terminal;
- and
- making a priority level for allocation of wireless resources higher than the priority level of a case where a first condition is not satisfied when the first condition is satisfied, wherein the first condition represents that the determined terminal type is a flying device and the data type is flight data indicating a flight state of the flying device, or
- making the priority level for allocation of the wireless resources higher than the priority level of a case where a second condition is not satisfied when the second condition is satisfied, wherein the second condition represents that the terminal type of the communication terminal is a flight control device for controlling the flying device and the data type is control data for controlling the flying device,
- wherein the making of the priority level includes acquiring electric field strength information indicating an electric field strength in a vicinity of the flying device, and further determining the priority level for allocation of the wireless resources on the basis of the electric field strength information, when the first condition is satisfied.
