Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods and systems for enforcing at least one rule within a geofence. The rule is enforced by a fencing agent on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The geofence is defined by a plurality of geographic designators, with the plurality of geographic designators each being associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) address, preferably an IPv6 address.
Claims20
A method for enforcing at least one rule within a geofence, comprising:
- a fencing agent embedded in a code of an application of an unmanned vehicle including a processor and a memory determining the unmanned vehicle is within the geofence, wherein the geofence is defined by a multiplicity of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, and wherein each IP address defining the geofence is related to a geographic designator;
- the fencing agent embedded in the code of the application of the unmanned vehicle identifying at least one rule associated with the geofence;
- and
- implementing the at least one rule associated with the geofence for the unmanned vehicle when the unmanned vehicle is within the geofence.

A system for enforcing at least one rule within a geofence, comprising:
- a fencing agent embedded in a code of an application of an unmanned vehicle including a processor and a memory;
- a multiplicity of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses defining the geofence, wherein each IP address defining the geofence is related to a geographic designator;
- wherein the fencing agent embedded in the code of the application of the unmanned vehicle is operable to identify at least one rule associated with the geofence;
- and
- wherein the fencing agent is operable to implement the at least one rule for the unmanned vehicle when the unmanned vehicle is within the geofence.
2 more elements
An apparatus for enforcing at least one rule within a geofence, comprising:
- a fencing agent embedded in a code of an application of an unmanned vehicle including a processor and a memory;
- wherein the fencing agent embedded in the code of the application of the unmanned vehicle is operable to query for at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address defining the geofence, wherein each IP address defining the geofence is related to a geographic designator;
- wherein the fencing agent is operable to determine at least one rule associated with the at least one IP address;
- and
- wherein the fencing agent is operable to implement the at least one rule for the unmanned vehicle when the unmanned vehicle is located within the geofence.
