Abstract

A system includes a disabling device with a circuit configured to disrupt communication of a drone.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a disabling device with a circuit miming a predetermined optical beacon with a protocol; and   a movable device including a circuit to receive the communication, wherein the circuit sends the optical beacon to disable the movable device.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the moveable device comprises a drone, a car, a delivery vehicle, a robot, or a moveable frame. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the disabling device forces the moveable device to be immobilized or to land. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the disabling device comprises a jammer. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the disabling device projects a broadband signal received by the vehicle. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the disabling device comprises a laser. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the disabling device is mounted on a tracker to follow the moveable device. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a transmitter communicating plurality of access conditions, including type of vehicles and restriction on each type of vehicle. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a beacon frame wherein the beacon frame specifies a plurality of access conditions, including predetermined vehicle IDs and restriction on each vehicle. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the moveable device radio circuit is configured to send a probe request to an access point to initiate transmission of a probe response specifying a beacon privacy indication. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , comprising a microwave generator to aim microwave energy at the moveable device to disable the device. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the radio circuit operates over an unlicensed spectrum. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the moveable device uses GPS, comprising jamming the GPS by focusing a beam of random GPS signal and localizing the beam to a predetermined radius around the moveable device. 
     
     
         14 . A system, comprising a no-access beacon, and a plurality of drones moving as a flock of birds to collide with a moveable device ignoring the no-access beacon. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the flock of birds are coupled to a mesh or a chain to entangle the moveable device. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , comprising a circuit to aim an electromagnetic beam at the moveable device to disable the device. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 14 , comprising an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) generator to aim an electromagnetic beam at the moveable device to disable the device. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 14 , comprising a circuit to aim an electromagnetic beam at the moveable device to disable the device. 
     
     
         19 . A method to provide privacy, comprising:
 sending an electromagnetic pulse (EMP), a microwave pulse, an optical pulse or cables at a moveable device; and   causing the device to land or hover over a location over a period exceeding thirty minutes.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the moveable device is an unmanned aerial device or drone.
