  • Publication number: 20160293018
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling a fleet of drones. A method in which a ground control station (GCS) controls a fleet of drones includes registering, by the GCS which is located on the ground, stores information about the drones, and controls the drones, all the drones constituting the fleet in a fleet list, configuring the fleet by synchronizing a physical position and a logical position for each of all the registered drones, controlling a form of the fleet based on a mission of the fleet or a peripheral environment having an influence on a flight of the fleet, and maintaining the fleet by immediately reflecting inclusion or departure in fleet information when the drone constituting the fleet is incorporated into or departs from the fleet.

  • Publication number: 20160293019
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of measuring a state of a drone. The method of measuring the state of the drone in a state in which a plurality of drones and a ground control station (GCS) are connected through a wireless network includes measuring, by a first drone, its own state based on collected information, requesting, by the first drone, a second drone or the GCS connected through the network to provide correction information and receiving the correction information from the second drone or the GCS, and comparing, by the first drone, information about the measured state with the received correction information, analyzing an error, and correcting the error.

  • Patent number: 9182921
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a substantially constant-time copy operation for file system objects managed by a storage server begins by generating a snapshot of at least a portion of a data set managed by the storage server. The system then performs a copy operation in the storage server to generate a copy of the data set separate from the snapshot, on a set of block locations containing a predetermined reference value. During the copy operation to generate the copy of the data set separate from the snapshot, the system can receive from a requester a first read request directed to the copy of the data set that the copy operation is to generate. In response to the first data request, the system provides data from the snapshot to the requester by the storage server.

  • Patent number: 8484164
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a substantially constant-time copy operation for file system objects managed by a network storage server begins by generating a new file based on metadata in a source file. The system then generates a snapshot of the source file or the logical volume in which the source file resides. The system then copies each of the indirect blocks of the source file to a corresponding location in the destination file. During the copy process, a modified set of file system operations can be executed on the destination metadata container. In response to a read request directed to a target block in the destination file, the system determines if target block has been copied. If the block has not been copied, the system provides a data segment from the corresponding data block in the snapshot. Write requests are processed by generating a new data block and adding a reference to the new data block to the target location in the destination metadata container.
