Systems and methods for requesting unmanned aerial vehicle-based surveillance services

A method for requesting an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based agricultural service, the method comprising, at a server-based platform:

• receiving, from a user, a message request for a UAV-based service;
• in response to receiving the message request, transmitting, to the user, one or more prompts with predefined response options for defining the UAV-based service, wherein the predefined response options are associated with one or more geographical regions associated with the UAV-based service;
• receiving, from the user, a message response comprising a response from among the predefined response options;
• identifying at least one selected geographical region based on the numerical response;
• generating a UAV-based service work request based on the at least one selected geographical region;
• transmitting one or more automated communications to a plurality of UAV operators requesting acceptance of the UAV-based service work request;
• receiving, from an accepting UAV operator, an indication of acceptance of the UAV-based service work request;
• and
• in response to receiving the indication of acceptance, associating the UAV-based service work request with the accepting UAV operator.

A system for requesting an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based service, the system comprising a server-based platform comprising one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory for execution by the one or more processors and comprising instructions for:

• receiving, from a user, a message request for a UAV-based service;
• in response to receiving the message request, transmitting, to the user, one or more prompts with predefined response options for defining the UAV-based service, wherein the predefined response options are associated with one or more geographical regions associated with the UAV-based service;
• receiving, from the user, a message response comprising a response from among the predefined response options;
• identifying at least one selected geographical region based on the numerical response;
• generating a UAV-based service work request based on the at least one selected geographical region;
• transmitting one or more automated communications to a plurality of UAV operators requesting acceptance of the UAV-based service work request;
• receiving, from an accepting UAV operator, an indication of acceptance of the UAV-based service work request;
• and
• in response to receiving the indication of acceptance, associating the UAV-based service work request with the accepting UAV operator.

A method for requesting an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based service, the method comprising, at a server-based platform:

• receiving, from a user, a selection of one or more numbers, wherein the one or more numbers specify one or more geographical regions associated with the UAV-based service;
• in response to receiving the selection of the one or more numbers, identifying the one or more geographical regions based on the selection of the one or more numbers;
• generating a UAV-based service work request based on the one or more geographical regions;
• and
• transmitting one or more automated communications to a plurality of UAV operators requesting acceptance of the UAV-based service work request.
