  • Publication number: 20240142952
    Abstract: An access authority is set for each data referred to by a program. A control system includes a control unit that controls a control target, a storage unit that stores a program executed by the control unit and each access authority for each of data referred to by the program, and an input unit that receives an access request for any one of the data. Each access authority includes information about an operation that can be executed by a user having each authority. The control unit refers to each access authority based on acquisition of the access request for any one of the data from the input unit, and determines whether the user who transmits the access request has the access authority for the data for which the access is requested based on each access authority.

  • Patent number: 11948469
    Abstract: A flight information acquisition unit repeatedly acquires the respective flight status of a plurality of drones in flight. A flight irregularity determination unit determines whether or not the drones are flying in a manner deviated from a flight plan. When a flight status of a drone indicating flight deviated from the flight plan has been acquired, a first collision specification unit specifies the drone at risk of collision with a drone having that flight status. When a flight status indicating that there is a possibility of crash for a drone has been acquired, a flight status processing unit (such as a flight irregularity determination unit) sets a higher priority for processing based on the flight status acquired from that drone than for processing based on the flight status acquired from another drone.
