  • Publication number: 20220260991
    Abstract: A system including: an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a wireless control system. The UAV includes one or more sensors, and a UAV communication subsystem. The one or more sensors configured to capture contextual information associated with capture of visual information. The UAV communication subsystem includes a UAV radio frequency transceiver configured to communicate with a network. The wireless control system includes a housing, a wireless communication subsystem, a flight control setting component, a power component, and a processor. The power component configured to obtain a current power consumption of a power source of the UAV. The processor is configured to: obtain visual information; display the visual information; and communicate with the flight control setting component. The processor communicates with the power component to obtain the current power consumption and effectuate presentation of a power display field including a first portion and a second portion.

  • Publication number: 20220201191
    Abstract: A wireless communication system may include a housing, a touch sensitive display included within the housing, multiple radio frequency transceivers included within the housing, multiple input mechanisms included within the housing, and a processor included within the housing. The processor may be configured to obtain visual information captured by an image capture subsystem of the unmanned aerial vehicle, display the visual information via the touch sensitive display, detect parameters of a touch on the touch sensitive display, determine inputs based upon the parameters of the touch and when one or more of the multiple input mechanisms are engaged, transmit instructions to the unmanned aerial vehicle based upon the inputs, establish a connection with a device, and transmit to the device instructions configured to cause the device to control the image capture subsystem.

  • Publication number: 20200183380
    Abstract: A wireless control system may include a housing, a touch sensitive display carried by the housing, multiple radio frequency transceivers included within the housing, multiple input mechanisms included within the housing, and a processor included within the housing. The processor may be configured to obtain visual information captured by an image capture subsystem of the unmanned aerial vehicle, display the visual information via the touch sensitive display, obtain current flight control settings of the unmanned aerial vehicle, obtain current power consumption of a power source of the unmanned aerial vehicle, determine an amount of remaining power of the power source, and effectuate presentation of a power display field over the visual information. A length of a first portion across the power display field may be proportional to the amount of remaining power of the power source.

  • Patent number: 9946256
    Abstract: A wireless communication device may include a housing, a touch sensitive display integrally included within the housing, multiple radio frequency transceivers included within the housing, multiple input mechanisms included within the housing, and a processor included within the housing. The processor may be configured to obtain visual information captured by an image capture subsystem of the unmanned aerial vehicle, display the visual information via the touch sensitive display, detect parameters of a touch on the touch sensitive display, determine a first set of inputs based upon the parameters of the touch on the touch sensitive display, receive a second set of inputs when one or more of the multiple input mechanisms are engaged, effectuate transmission, via a first radio frequency transceiver, of instructions to the unmanned aerial vehicle based upon the first set of inputs and/or the second set of inputs.
