Reverse drm geo-fencing of uav method and apparatus

A system, comprising:

• an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
• and
• a base station for enforcing one or more reverse digital right management geo-fence policies on operation of the UAV for a geographic area;
• wherein the base station comprises:
• a communication interface including a transmitter and an antenna;
• and
• a trusted execution environment (TEE) having at least a reverse digital right management geo-fence policy (RDGFP) manager coupled with the communication interface to instruct the UAV, via the communication interface, to enforce the one or more reverse digital right management geo-fence policies on operation of one or more sensors of the UAV on collecting sensor data of a target within the geographic area while the UAV operates over or near the geographic area;
• and
• wherein the UAV comprises:
• first one or more sensors to provide first one or more sensor data for aerial operation of the UAV over or near a geographic area;
• second one or more sensors to collect second one or more sensor data of one or more targets within the geographic area;
• and
• a trusted execution environment (TEE) having at least a reverse digital right management geo-fence policy enforcement (RDGFPE) manager coupled with the first and second one or more sensors to enforce one or more reverse digital right management geo-fence policies on operation of the second one or more sensors while the UAV operates over or near the geographic area.
