Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for operating a drone consistent with an access level of the drone and/or an operator of the drone. Various embodiments may include determining, by a processor of the drone, whether the drone is registered with an agency or the operator of the drone is registered to operate the drone. In response to determining that the drone and/or the operator is registered, the drone processor may operate the drone consistent with an access level of the drone and/or operator. In response to determining that the drone and/or the operator is registered, the drone processor may restrict operations of the drone.

A method for controlling a drone, comprising:
- determining, by a processor of the drone, whether an operator controlling the drone is registered to operate the drone;
- operating the drone, by the processor, in response to determining that the operator controlling the drone is registered to operate the drone;
- and
- restricting, by the processor, operations of the drone in response to determining that the operator controlling the drone is not registered to operate the drone.
A method for controlling a drone, comprising:
- determining, by a processor of the drone, whether the drone is registered with an agency;
- operating the drone, by the processor, in response to determining that the drone is registered;
- and
- restricting, by the processor, operations of the drone in response to determining that the drone is not registered.
A drone, comprising a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
- determine whether an operator controlling the drone is registered to operate the drone;
- operate the drone in response to determining that the operator controlling the drone is registered to operate the drone;
- and
- restricting operations of the drone in response to determine that the operator controlling the drone is not registered to operate the drone.
A drone, comprising a processor configured with processor-executable instructions to:
- determine whether the drone is registered with an agency;
- operate the drone in response to determine that the drone is registered;
- and
