  • Publication number: 20220084136
    Abstract: In recent years, social media has become a mainstay of global communication culture. These platforms have become a proxy for personal communication and conduit for interaction in the real world. So much so, that many have turned to these platforms for dating, friendship and finding similarly minded communities. Unfortunately, there is limited technology for translating this online communication and interaction to the user's physical proximity or real-world circumstance. The various embodiments of the invention herein disclose personal communication drone systems and methodologies for utilizing drones to leverage a user's online persona or profile to communicate personal messages, images or data to a third party. In one embodiment, a user (like a social media influencer) can activate a drone, which is detachably coupled to a portable drone home area and programmed to track the user, to find a new targeted third party and to communicate personal messages, images or data.
