INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455628 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that predicts the scattering range of a chemical to be sprayed onto a field by a first unmanned aircraft. If it is determined that the chemical will scatter near the field, the apparatus controls the three-dimensional position or travel route of a second unmanned aircraft to prevent the scattering of the chemical near the field due to downwash.

  • Predicts scattering range of chemical to be sprayed onto a field by a first unmanned aircraft
  • Controls position or route of a second unmanned aircraft to prevent scattering of chemical near the field
  • Utilizes downwash of the second unmanned aircraft to prevent scattering of the chemical

  • Environmental protection by minimizing chemical drift
      1. Problems Solved
  • Minimizes chemical drift and contamination of surrounding areas
  • Improves efficiency and accuracy of chemical spraying on fields
      1. Benefits
  • Reduces environmental impact of chemical spraying
  • Increases precision and effectiveness of agricultural practices


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to predict a scattering range of a chemical to be sprayed onto a field by a first unmanned aircraft and control, in a case in which it is determined that the chemical will scatter near the field based on the scattering range, a three-dimensional position or a travel route of a second unmanned aircraft so that downwash of the second unmanned aircraft prevents scattering of the chemical near the field.
