    Abstract: A drone is provided that includes a controller, a time measurer that measures a present time, a position measurer that obtains a current position of the drone, and a storage that stores a time period for which the flight of the drone is permitted. The controller performs operations including determining a possible flight area of the drone in accordance with a difference between an end of the time period for which flight of the drone is permitted and the present time, and determining whether the drone is located within the possible flight area on the basis of the current position of the drone.

    Abstract: An information processing device in a first vehicle: detects a head-on approach of a second vehicle relative to the first vehicle; determines whether a meeting point is in a first section; calculates a first distance between the first section and the meeting point; when the meeting point is not in the first section, transmits the first distance to the second vehicle, and receives, from the second vehicle, a second distance between the meeting point and a second section; generates travel control information for the first vehicle according to the result of comparison between the first distance and the second distance; and outputs the travel control information to a travel controller of the first vehicle.

    Abstract: An unmanned air vehicle includes: a camera that takes an image in a vertical direction from the unmanned air vehicle; an image processor that indicates, on the image, a region in which the unmanned air vehicle is likely to crash and that detects an object of avoidance that is present in the region; a crash-avoidance flight controller that, in a case where the object of avoidance is detected, controls flight of the unmanned air vehicle so that the object of avoidance becomes undetectable in the region; and a crash probable region determiner that changes the region according to a result of the flight control.

    Abstract: A controller in an unmanned aerial vehicle determines whether the unmanned aerial vehicle is beyond a visual range within which the unmanned aerial vehicle is visible to an operator. When the unmanned aerial vehicle is determined to be beyond the visual range, the controller determines whether the operator is controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle using the control device while viewing video on a head-mounted display. When the operator is determined to be controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle using the control device while viewing video on the head-mounted display, the controller controls flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle in accordance with control information for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle. When the operator is determined not to be controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle using the control device while viewing video on the head-mounted display, the controller does not control flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle in accordance with the control information.
