Abstract
According to the present invention, a drone control system includes: a flying drone; a cloud server configured to transmit and receive information to and from the drone by wireless communication; and a ground control system configured to establish a flight plan of the drone by connecting the drone and the cloud server by the wireless communication.
Claims15
A drone control system, comprising:
- a flying drone;
- a cloud server configured to transmit and receive information to and from the drone by wireless communication;
- and
- a ground control device configured to:
- set a type of the drone according to a flight characteristic of the drone;
- set a flight zone in which the drone flies;
- set a flight path of the drone by reflecting real-time weather information in the set flight zone, and establish a flight plan of the drone by connecting the drone and the cloud server by the wireless communication;
- apply a derivation algorithm of the flight plan for reflecting a height extracted from map data to the flight path of the drone;
- derive the flight plan by reflecting a contour line and building height data stored in the cloud server in real time according to a flight start point and a flight end point of the drone, and reflecting height data set by a user for mission performance of the drone when setting the flight path of the drone, according to the derivation algorithm of the flight plan;
- store the derived flight plan in the cloud server;
- transmit the flight plan to the drone to instruct the drone to perform a mission according to the flight plan, and collect fight information of the drone;
- check a change in map data or the flight plan, and check whether the change is reflected in a flight plan database (DB) in the cloud server, by comparing and analyzing a simulated flight and the flight plan of the drone, and a result of an actual flight of the drone, stored in the flight plan DB;
- and
- check whether the drone flies at a certain altitude without abnormality according to a change in a ground contour during the actual flight of the drone according to the flight plan by performing flight simulation through the flight plan DB stored in the cloud server.
