Abstract
A method for managing a position of a remotely-controlled vehicle, referred to as a drone, relative to a control entity, the control entity being configured to control the drone by means of a stream of control data transmitted indirectly within a communication established between the control entity and the drone via a communication network, the method including: for at least one time instant of the communication, determining at least one parameter relating to a distance between the drone and the control entity; when the distance-related parameter does not lie within an interval of authorised values for a given piloting mode, applying at least one given management rule for the drone.
Claims15
A method of managing a position of a remotely-controlled vehicle, referred to as a drone, relative to a control entity, the control entity being configured to control the drone by means of a stream of control data transmitted indirectly within a communication established between the control entity and the drone via a communication network, wherein the method is intended to be implemented in at least one entity of the communication network or at least one entity of a drone connectivity management system of the communication network, the entity being distinct from the drone, and wherein the method comprises:
- for at least one time instant of the communication, determining at least one parameter relating to a distance between the drone and the control entity;
- and
- when the distance-related parameter does not lie within an interval of authorised values for a given piloting mode, applying at least one management rule for the drone.
A device for managing a position of a remotely-controlled vehicle, referred to as a drone, relative to a control entity, the control entity being configured to control the drone by means of a stream of control data transmitted indirectly within a communication established between the control entity and the drone via a communication network, wherein the device is configured to implement in at least one entity of the communication network or at least one entity of a system for managing the connectivity of the communication network's drones, the entity being distinct from the drone:
- for at least one time instant of the communication, determine at least one parameter relating to a distance between the drone and the control entity;
- and
- when the distance-related parameter does not lie within an interval of authorised values for a given piloting mode, apply at least one management rule for the drone.
