Abstract
A remote identification system for the remote identification of an object that includes a wireless transmitter configured to broadcast a static identifier, such as a WiFi SSID. The object also includes a local broadcast module that dynamically alters or re-purposes the identifier so that it is no longer a static identifier but instead includes broadcast data that varies depending on the status of the object, such as its location.
Claims20
A remote identification system for the remote identification of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the remote identification system including the UAV,
- wherein the UAV includes a local broadcast device, the local broadcast module including a wireless transmitter configured to broadcast a static identifier, and in which the local broadcast device is configured to (i) broadcast data and (ii) to dynamically alter or re-purpose frames of the static identifier so that it is no longer a static identifier but instead includes data that varies depending on the status of the UAV;
- and (iii) to include these frames in the broadcast data;
- the local broadcast device further including a receiver configured to scan for available wireless connections broadcast by other UAVs equipped with similar local broadcast devices, thereby establishing a wireless mesh network among the UAVs.
A system for establishing a wireless mesh network among multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), wherein each UAV includes a local broadcast device including a wireless transmitter configured to broadcast a static identifier, and in which the local broadcast device is configured to (i) broadcast data and (ii) to dynamically alter or re-purpose frames of the static identifier so that it is no longer a static identifier but instead includes data that varies depending on the status of the UAV;
- and (iii) to include these frames in the broadcast data;
- the local broadcast device further including a receiver configured to scan for available wireless connections broadcast by other UAVs equipped with similar local broadcast devices, thereby establishing a wireless mesh network among the UAVs.
A remote identification method for the remote identification of a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein the UAV includes a local broadcast device including a wireless transmitter configured to broadcast a static identifier, and in which the local broadcast device is configured to (i) broadcast data and (ii) to dynamically alter or re-purpose frames of the static identifier so that it is no longer a static identifier but instead includes data that varies depending on the status of the UAV;
- and (iii) to include these frames in the broadcast data;
- the local broadcast device further including a receiver configured to scan for available wireless connections broadcast by other UAVs equipped with similar local broadcast devices, thereby establishing a wireless mesh network among the UAVs.
