Abstract
Systems and methods for UAV safety are provided. An authentication system may be used to confirm UAV and/or user identity and provide secured communications between users and UAVs. The UAVs may operate in accordance with a set of flight regulations. The set of flight regulations may be associated with a geo-fencing device in the vicinity of the UAV.
Claims30
A system for regulating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), said system comprising
- an authentication center configured to authenticate an identity of a UAV and an identity of a corresponding UAV user, wherein the authenticated UAV user is an owner and/or operator of its authenticated corresponding UAV;
- and
- an air control system configured to receive a UAV identifier for the authenticated UAV and a UAV user identifier for the authenticated corresponding UAV user, and provide a set of flight regulations based on the authenticated UAV identifier and the authenticated corresponding UAV user identifier, wherein the set of flight regulations regulate (1) flight plan of the UAV;
- or (2) operation of one or more of a sensor, communication unit, payload, propulsion unit, or power supply on board of the UAV.
A method for regulating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), said method comprising:
- authenticating an identity of a UAV and an identity of a corresponding UAV user, wherein the authenticated UAV user is an owner and/or operator of its authenticated corresponding UAV;
- receiving a UAV identifier for the authenticated UAV and a user identifier for the authenticated corresponding UAV user;
- and
- providing a set of flight regulations based on the authenticated UAV identifier and the authenticated corresponding UAV user identifier, wherein the set of flight regulations regulate (1) flight plan of the UAV;
- or (2) operation of one or more of a sensor, communication unit, payload, propulsion unit, or power supply on board of the UAV.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed with aid of one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method for regulating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), said method comprising
- authenticating an identity of a UAV and an identity of a corresponding UAV user;
- receiving a UAV identifier for the authenticated UAV and a user identifier for the authenticated corresponding UAV user;
- and
- providing a set of flight regulations based on the authenticated UAV identifier and the authenticated corresponding UAV user identifier, wherein the set of flight regulations regulate (1) flight plan of the UAV;
- or (2) operation of one or more of a sensor, communication unit, payload, propulsion unit, or power supply on board of the UAV.
