Abstract: A maintenance notification for a UAV may be sent to a service provider. The service provider may identify the UAV, such as to access a profile associated with the UAV that includes at least hardware and software configurations for the UAV. The service provider may generate a customized maintenance decision tree to organize tasks to be performed for the specific UAV to determine a maintenance action to remedy a fault or problem associated with the maintenance notification. The decision tree may be formed using history of the UAV and information about other UAVs to construct the decision tree tailored to the specific UAV under analysis. At least some operations included in the decision tree may be automated. Traversal of the decision tree may lead to updates of the UAV of hardware, software, or both.

Abstract: Delivery area guidance may be provided to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) delivering a package to a customer. For example, a UAV may be programmed to fly to a delivery area. When the UAV approaches the delivery area, the UAV may send a signal that it has a package for the customer. A delivery area guidance (DAG) device associated with the customer may receive the signal and project a visible landing marker to guide the UAV to a designated delivery location. The DAG device may monitor motion near the designated delivery location, indicate existence of obstacles, and/or notify inhabitance of the approach of the UAV and/or receipt of the package.
