  • Patent number: 11042741
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for an intelligent protective drone are described. The aeronautical drone comprises an environmental protective shield that provides protection from environmental elements. An image of an environment near the aeronautical drone is captured and processed to identify a target entity. A geographic location of an effective protective area provided by the environmental protective shield is identified and a location for the aeronautical drone is determined that places the target entity within the effective protective area.

  • Publication number: 20200298059
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for performing a work-driven game are described. An indication of a completion of a performance of a work event is obtained from a work processing system, the work event contributing to a production of a work product. A completion of a performance of an exercise event is obtained from an exercise machine. A combined value of the work event and the exercise event is determined and a gaming asset associated with the work-driven game is awarded in a game processing system in response to the indication of the completion of the performance of the work event and the completion of the performance of the exercise event, the gaming asset awarded being based on the combined value.
