Location Assessment System for Drones

Abstract

A system for locating unmanned mobile connected objects, such as, but not limited to, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as, but not limited to drones, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) is disclosed. The system may be configured such that information associated with a UAV is received and searched, and one or more unpredictable variables in a physical environment surrounding the UAV are identified based on searching the information. A revised travel route may then be calculated based on the unpredictable variable(s) and the revised travel route may be transmitted to the UAV.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 memory for storing computer instructions; and   one or more processors coupled with the memory, wherein the one or more processors, responsive to executing the computer instructions, perform operations comprising:
 receiving information associated with a first unmanned mobile connected object; 
 identifying, based on a search of the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object, one or more unpredictable variables in a physical environment surrounding the first unmanned mobile connected object; 
 calculating a revised travel route based on the one or more unpredictable variables in the physical environment surrounding the first unmanned mobile connected object; and 
 transmitting the revised travel route to the first unmanned mobile connected object. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object is searched by a user device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, responsive to executing the computer instructions, perform operations comprising searching the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object for one or more anomalies. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the one or more anomalies are selected from the group consisting of air turbulence, a flock of birds, a plane crash, a disaster area, and an interference with a flight path. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, responsive to executing the computer instructions, perform operations comprising sending, in response to the identification of the one or more unpredictable variables, a notification to the first unmanned mobile connected object. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, responsive to executing the computer instructions, perform operations comprising optimizing the revised travel route. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the revised travel route is optimized based on one or more previously traveled routes. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, responsive to executing the computer instructions, perform operations comprising transmitting the revised travel route to a second unmanned mobile connected object. 
     
     
         9 . A method comprising:
 receiving, by a processor, information associated with a first unmanned mobile connected object;   identifying, based on a search of the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object, one or more unpredictable variables in a physical environment surrounding the first unmanned mobile connected object;   calculating, by the processor, a revised travel route based on the one or more unpredictable variables in the physical environment surrounding the first unmanned mobile connected object; and   transmitting, by the processor, the revised travel route to the first unmanned mobile connected object.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object is searched by a user device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising searching the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object for one or more anomalies. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more anomalies are selected from the group consisting of air turbulence, a flock of birds, a plane crash, a disaster area, and an interference with a flight path. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising sending, in response to the identification of the one or more unpredictable variables, a notification to the first unmanned mobile connected object. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising optimizing the revised travel route. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the revised travel route is optimized based on one or more previously traveled routes. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising transmitting the revised travel route to a second unmanned mobile connected object. 
     
     
         17 . A tangible computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
 receiving information associated with a first unmanned mobile connected object;   identifying, based on a search of the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object, one or more unpredictable variables in a physical environment surrounding the first unmanned mobile connected object;   calculating a revised travel route based on the one or more unpredictable variables in the physical environment surrounding the first unmanned mobile connected object; and   transmitting the revised travel route to the first unmanned mobile connected object.   
     
     
         18 . The tangible computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object is searched by a user device. 
     
     
         19 . The tangible computer-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the instructions are further configured to cause the computer to perform operations comprising searching the information associated with the first unmanned mobile connected object for one or more anomalies. 
     
     
         20 . The tangible computer-readable medium of  claim 19 , wherein the one or more anomalies are selected from the group consisting of air turbulence, a flock of birds, a plane crash, a disaster area, and an interference with a flight path.
