  • Patent number: 11790788
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a flight information acquisition unit that acquires a flight path on which a flight device operating by electric battery power supplied from a battery is scheduled to fly, a radio wave information acquisition unit that acquires radio wave information including the intensity of a radio wave used for communication by the flight device within a predetermined range based on the flight path, and a decision unit that decides a candidate charging facility in which the battery is chargeable, as a charging facility used for charging the battery by the flight device based on the intensity in at least one of a region including the candidate charging facility and a region between the flight path and the candidate charging facility.

  • Patent number: 11749120
    Abstract: A drone detection apparatus and method for same, that provides a real time solution for detecting drones and informing and alerting a user. The apparatus includes a housing with a processor and memory, at least one indicator, at least one switch, a connector, a radio, an antenna and a power source; and a housing-carrier in which the housing is removably secured. When a drone transmits an identification broadcast message the processor has the ability to receive and recognize the identification broadcast message. The apparatus can receive a remote identification message intermittently broadcast from a drone and can send, forward and receive alerts to and from one or more remote devices.

  • Patent number: 11724552
    Abstract: A transmitter is configured to be attached to each of wheel assemblies in a vehicle and execute a process in accordance with a command included in a trigger signal. The transmitter includes a condition detecting section, a trigger receiving section which receives, as the trigger signal, an unmodulated wave having a received signal strength indication a transmitting section, and a controlling section. When the trigger receiving section receives the unmodulated wave, the controlling section causes the transmitting section to transmit the signal in response to the unmodulated wave. The controlling section is configured to execute an accumulation process to accumulate reception time of the unmodulated wave from a starting point in time, and shift into a restriction state to restrict a response to the unmodulated wave when the accumulated reception time reaches a predetermined time.

  • Patent number: 11715374
    Abstract: When a start condition determined in advance is satisfied while a vehicle is parked, a controller controls an aircraft such that the aircraft takes off from the vehicle, a photographing unit captures a position notification image including at least the vehicle and notifying a parking position of the vehicle, and the position notification image is transmitted to a mobile terminal having a display unit and carried by a user outside the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11631311
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wearable electric shock recognition device, which includes first to fourth variable resistors and a bridge resistor forming a bridge circuit; a resistance compensator compensating the first to fourth variable resistors in the bridge circuit so that the bridge circuit is in a balanced state. When it is determined that a magnitude of a current flowing through a bridge line exceeds a predetermined electric shock threshold, a determiner determines that an electric shock event has occurred.
