Abstract: A drone control system is communicatively coupled to a plurality of drones. A drone from the plurality drones is selected to travel to a destination site. Predefined rules associated with airspace over public and private areas may be generated and stored. A route is generated for the drone to travel based on an airspace map. Based on one or more constraints over the route specified in the predefined rules, path height is determined. The route is loaded onto drone and the drone is controlled to fly via the route according to the path height to the destination site. The drone's flight is monitored and a signal is received from the drone that the drone completed its travel to the destination site.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for secure automated parcel delivery. A first device owned and controlled by a recipient entity to whom a physical item is being delivered receives a delivery communication code. The recipient entity and through the first device determines a delivery policy data set indicative of a manner in which the physical item is to be delivered. Responsive to the detection that the physical item is being delivered to a designated delivery zone where the physical item will be received by the recipient entity, the first device wirelessly authenticates to a second. device controlled by a sender entity using the delivery communication code. Responsive to the authentication of the first device to the second device, the first device wirelessly communicates to the second device the delivery policy data set.
