Chirath Thouppuarachchi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10593219
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to aviation communications are included. A computing device can receive position data indicating a position of an aerial vehicle. The position can include an altitude. The computing device can determine, from a plurality of possible airspace classifications, a first airspace classification at the position of the aerial vehicle, where each airspace classification specifies one or more communication parameters for communication within an associated airspace. The computing device can select, from a plurality of communication repositories, a first communication repository that is associated with the first airspace classification, where each communication repository specifies a set of pre-defined communication components for at least one associated airspace classification. The computing device can generate a communication related to the aerial vehicle using the first communication repository. The computing device can send the generated communication to at least one recipient.

  • Patent number: 10347136
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to autonomous aerial communications are included. A computing device can detect data associated with relevant events, determine information related to the event that should be communicated and a target aerial vehicle for that information, identify one or more operational parameters of the target aerial vehicle, and, based on those operational parameters, select a language associated with the target aerial vehicle, and generate and transmit a message expressing that information in the selected language to the target aerial vehicle.
