  • Unmanned aerial vehicle remote identification, command and control
    Patent number: 11670177
    Abstract: A method may include receiving an identifier (ID) from a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) prior to a flight, storing the ID and receiving telemetry information from the first UAV during the flight. The method may also include storing the telemetry information, receiving a request from a user device for information associated with a first location and authenticating the user device. The method may further include determining whether at least one UAV is flying in an area associated with the first location and transmitting telemetry information associated with the at least one UAV, in response to determining that at least one UAV is flying in the area associated with the first location.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2023
    Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.

  • Systems and methods for generating vertical positioning information for unmanned aerial vehicles
    Patent number: 11566893
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include a communication interface and a pressure sensor configured to measure barometric pressure. The UAV may also include a processor configured to generate a request for elevation data and barometric pressure data and transmit, via the communication interface, the request to the at least one other device. The processor may also be configured to receive, from each of the at least one other device, elevation data and barometric pressure data, and estimate the elevation of the UAV based on the measured barometric pressure, the received elevation data and the received barometric pressure data.
