Patent number: 11887489Abstract: A storage facilities management device is configured to manage storage facilities such as storage sheds for keeping flight devices. Upon receiving instruction information including a takeoff/landing time of a flight device from a flight management device, the storage facilities management device acquires circumferential information representing circumstances of a storage shed before the takeoff/landing time so as to determine whether or not the flight device is able to take off at the takeoff time of the instruction information or to determine whether or not the flight device is able to land at the landing time of the instruction information according to the circumferential information, thus transmitting the determination result to the flight management device and allowing for takeoff or landing of the flight device according to the instruction information.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: KDDI CORPORATIONInventor: Masayuki Tachiiwa

Patent number: 11620911Abstract: A management device includes a route determination unit configured to determine a photography route, an instruction unit configured to instruct a first flying device to perform photography on the photography route, and an identification unit configured to identify a stop position of the photography by the first flying device. When the identification unit has identified the stop position, the instruction unit is configured to instruct a second flying device, which is different from the first flying device, to start the photography on the photography route from the stop position.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: KDDI CorporationInventor: Masayuki Tachiiwa
