Abstract
A disclosed method includes monitoring a plurality of emergency event queues at an emergency network entity; determining that an emergency event in one of the emergency event queues corresponds to an emergency type that can be responded to using an unmanned aerial vehicle; determining that an unmanned aerial vehicle is available that has capabilities corresponding to the emergency type; establishing an unmanned aerial vehicle control link between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the emergency network entity; and deploying the unmanned aerial vehicle to the emergency event location and providing data from the unmanned aerial vehicle on a display of the emergency network entity.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- monitoring an emergency queue at an emergency network entity;
- determining that an emergency in the emergency queue corresponds to an emergency type that can be responded to using an unmanned aerial vehicle;
- determining that an unmanned aerial vehicle is available that has capabilities corresponding to the emergency type;
- establishing an unmanned aerial vehicle control link between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the emergency network entity;
- deploying the unmanned aerial vehicle to an emergency location;
- and
- providing data from the unmanned aerial vehicle on a display of the emergency network entity.
An apparatus comprising:
- an emergency network manager operative to connect to at least one emergency network entity via an Internet connection, the emergency network manager operative to:
- monitor an emergency queue at the at least one emergency network entity;
- determine that an emergency in the emergency queue corresponds to an emergency type that can be responded to using an unmanned aerial vehicle;
- determine that an unmanned aerial vehicle is available that has capabilities corresponding to the emergency type;
- and
- an unmanned aerial vehicle dispatch controller, operatively coupled to the emergency network manager, and to an unmanned aerial vehicle radio controller, the unmanned aerial vehicle controller operative to:
- establish an unmanned aerial vehicle control link between an unmanned aerial vehicle and the at least one emergency network entity via the Internet connection;
- and
- deploy the unmanned aerial vehicle to the emergency location;
- and
- provide data from the unmanned aerial vehicle on a display of the at least one emergency network entity.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor operative to connect to at least one emergency network entity via an Internet connection, to provide an emergency event queue at the at least one emergency network entity;
- an unmanned aerial vehicle dispatch controller, operatively coupled to the processor, and to an unmanned aerial vehicle radio controller, the unmanned aerial vehicle dispatch controller operative to:
- establish an unmanned aerial vehicle control link between an unmanned aerial vehicle and the at least one emergency network entity via the Internet connection;
- and
- deploy the unmanned aerial vehicle to an emergency event location for an emergency in the emergency queue;
- and
- provide data from the unmanned aerial vehicle on a display of the at least one emergency network entity.
