Patent number: 11199859Abstract: Embodiment includes of a method and a system of network based operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed. One system includes a drone user machine, a drone control machine, and a drone control console. The drone control machine is interfaced with the drone user machine through a network, and the drone control machine is interfaced with a drone through the drone control console. The drone control machine operates to receive user commands from the drone user machine through the network, generate drone control commands which are provided to the drone control console for controlling the drone, wherein the drone control commands are generated based on the user commands, receive video from the drone control console that was generated by a camera located on the drone, and communicate the video to the drone user machine over the network, wherein the video is displayed on a display associated with the drone user machine.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: CAPE MCUAS, INC.Inventors: Gabriel Charalambides, Richard Stephen Pasetto, Thomas Finsterbusch, Andrej Finsterbusch, John David Stockford, Alexander Loo, Anthony Rizk

Patent number: 10567497Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods, apparatuses and systems for network based operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle. One apparatus includes a controller. The controller is operative to receive a request for change in a camera view of a camera of a drone from a tele-operator, generate positioning of a reticle of a display of the tele-operator based on the received request for change in the camera view, and generate a camera attitude control based on the received request for change in the camera view, wherein the camera attitude control provides orientation control of the camera of the drone, wherein the positioning control of the reticle is more responsive than the orientation control of the camera.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: CAPE MCUAS, INC.Inventors: Gabriel Charalambides, Richard Stephen Pasetto, John David Stockford, Louis Gresham, Thomas Finsterbusch, Alexandre El Assad

Patent number: 10382539Abstract: A system has a drone session server to collect drone session information. A drone user machine is in a client relationship with the drone session server. A drone control machine is in a client relationship with the drone session server and a peer-to-peer relationship with the drone user machine. The drone control machine is configured to relay video data from a drone to the drone user machine via a peer-to-peer connection. The drone control machine evaluates user commands collected by the drone user machine that are relayed to the drone control machine via the peer-to-peer connection to produce enforced limits commands to maintain the drone within a three-dimensional geographical fence. The drone control machine sends autopilot commands to the drone to transport the drone from the three-dimensional geographical fence to a land site to complete a drone session.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Cape Productions Inc.Inventors: Thomas Finsterbusch, Gabriel Charalambides, Andrej Finsterbusch, John David Stockford, Alexander Loo, Anthony Rizk, Richard Stephen Pasetto

Publication number: 20160054737Abstract: In some embodiments, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is configured to navigate to a first location point from a plurality of location points. The plurality of location points defines a flight pattern. The UAV is further configured to receive a set of location coordinates of a moving object. The UAV is configured to determine the distance between the moving object and the UAV based on the set of location coordinates of the moving object and the first location point of the UAV. When the distance between the moving object and the UAV reaches a pre-determined threshold, the UAV is configured to advance to a second location point from the plurality of location points.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Applicant: CAPE PRODUCTIONS INC.Inventors: Jason Soll, Thomas Finsterbusch, Louis Gresham, Mark Murphy, Gabriel Charalambides, Alexander Loo

Publication number: 20160055883Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory is connected to the processor and stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a video segment of a moving object recorded by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The memory also stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a measured moving object parameter and edit the video segment of the moving object based on the measured moving object parameter to form an edited video segment. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to send the edited video segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Applicant: CAPE PRODUCTIONS INC.Inventors: Jason Soll, Thomas Finsterbusch, Louis Gresham, Mark Murphy, Gabriel Charalambides, Alexander Loo
