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: A method for assigning control rights for an autonomous vehicle is provided. The method includes acquiring, via a network, identification information for identifying a user or a terminal of the user, and dispatch request information that indicates a dispatch request for an autonomous vehicle issued by the user. The method further includes selecting the autonomous vehicle to be dispatched to the user from among a plurality of autonomous vehicles, based on the dispatch request information. Thereafter, the method assigns a control right for the selected autonomous vehicle, to the user or the terminal, based on the identification information.

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.
