Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle includes a camera, a first communication system, a second communication system, and a controller. The camera captures images or videos. The first communication system communicates according to a proprietary protocol. The second communication system communicates according to a standard communication protocol. The controller controls operations of the first communication system and the second communication system, to allow the first communication system and the second communication system to simultaneously transmit an image or video captured by the camera.

An unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture an image or video;
- a first communication system configured to communicate according to a proprietary protocol;
- a second communication system configured to communicate according to a standard communication protocol;
- and
- a controller configured to control operations of the first communication system and the second communication system, to allow the first communication system and the second communication system to simultaneously transmit the image or video captured by the camera.
An unmanned aerial vehicle system, comprising:
- an unmanned aerial vehicle and a remote control, wherein:
- the unmanned aerial vehicle includes:
- a camera configured to capture an image or video,
- a first communication system configured to communicate according to a proprietary protocol,
- a second communication system configured to communicate according to a standard communication protocol, and
- a controller configured to control operations of the first communication system and the second communication system, to allow the first communication system and the second communication system to simultaneously transmit the image or video captured by the camera;
- and
