FLYING BODY CONTROL APPARATUS, FLYING BODY CONTROL METHOD, AND FLYING BODY CONTROL PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18234235 titled 'FLYING BODY CONTROL APPARATUS, FLYING BODY CONTROL METHOD, AND FLYING BODY CONTROL PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for landing a flying body at a desired point more reliably.

  • The flying body has a determiner that determines whether it is taking off or descending to land.
  • It includes a camera mounted in the flying body to capture images.
  • If the flying body is taking off and ascending, a recorder records a lower image captured by the camera.
  • If the flying body is descending to land, a guider uses the recorded lower image and a lower image captured during descent to guide the flying body back to the takeoff point.


Original Abstract Submitted

To more reliably land a flying body at a desired point, a flying body includes a determiner that determines whether the flying body is taking off and ascending from a takeoff point or descending to land, a camera mounted in the flying body, a recorder that records a lower image captured by the camera if it is determined that the flying body is taking off and ascending and a guider that, if it is determined that the flying body is descending to land, guides the flying body to the takeoff point while descending using a lower image recorded in the recorder during takeoff/ascent and a lower image captured during the descent.
