  • Publication number: 20210327285
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a flight processing method applied to a control device of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method includes obtaining a clearance permission file of a target flight restriction area from a server, the clearance permission file being generated by the server in response to flight clearance application information of the flight restriction removal conditions obtained from a smart terminal; and removing flight restrictions of the UAV in the target flight restriction area based on the clearance permission file.

  • Publication number: 20200324899
    Abstract: A method for managing flight restricted regions for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes an application processor receiving region information regarding the flight restricted regions from a database and processing the region information to obtain positional information of the flight restricted regions relative to the UAV, and a flight controller receiving the positional information of the flight restricted regions relative to the UAV and controlling flight of the UAV based on the received positional information. The flight controller is in communication with the application processor.

  • Publication number: 20200020236
    Abstract: A method for supporting flight restriction of aircraft includes generating a flight restriction region using one or more three-dimensional elementary flight restriction volumes, and controlling the aircraft according to the flight restriction region. The one or more elementary flight restriction volumes are configured to require the aircraft to take one or more flight response measures based on at least one of (1) location of the aircraft, or (2) movement characteristic of the aircraft relative to the one or more elementary flight restriction volumes.
