Abstract: Assignment unit assigns flight vehicles having radio communication apparatuses to airspaces. At this time, assignment unit limits the assignment of flight vehicle to a specified airspace in which a parameter specified by specification unit is in a predetermined range (e.g., an airspace in which the path loss of the physical downlink channel to radio communication apparatus is less than or equal to a threshold value).

Abstract: A management system includes a storage unit that stores schedule information that indicates schedules of a plurality of tasks to be performed by the same flight vehicle. The schedule information includes types of the plurality of tasks, date/times of the plurality of tasks, and locations at which the plurality of tasks are to be performed. When the types, the date/times, and the locations that are included in the schedule information stored in the storage unit satisfy an integration condition, an integration unit integrates the schedules of the plurality of tasks. An output unit outputs integrated schedule information indicating the schedules of the integrated tasks.

Abstract: The present invention aims to control position of flying object with respect to a structural object in a situation where it is difficult to perform positioning based on radio signals transmitted from a satellite. A position identification unit identifies position of flying object in troublesome GPS signal reception space, using different methods for coordinate axes. Specifically, position identification unit identifies position, on Z axis (first coordinate axis), of flying object in troublesome GPS signal reception space, based on distance from flying object to structural object (distance measured at time of position identification), and identifies positions, on X and Y axes (second coordinate axes), of flying object based on change in shape of structural object in respective axis directions of X and Y axes (second coordinate axes) (history of distance from flying object to bridge B measured multiple times until position identification).

Abstract: Flight control unit and flight unit start flight in accordance with a flight plan. Flight history acquisition unit acquires a flight history of drone. Flight plan acquisition unit acquires a flight plan for drone. Inspection timing determination unit calculates a difference between the acquired flight plan and the acquired flight history, and based on the difference, determines an inspection timing for drone. Inspection timing notification unit provides notification of the determined inspection timing.

Abstract: Recovery of a flying vehicle that has fallen to the ground is facilitated. A positioning unit measures a position of the flying vehicle during flight. A specification unit specifies a feature of a region on the ground corresponding to the measured position. A determination unit determines a sending interval of position information indicating the position of the flying vehicle, according to the specified feature. A sending unit sends the position information at the determined sending interval.

Abstract: A flight control apparatus that enables a flying object to safely pass another flying object includes a detection unit configured to detect, in a predetermined range from a flying object, another flying object. A specifying unit is configured to specify a moving direction of the detected other flying object. A judging unit is configured to judge, based on the specified moving direction, whether or not passing is possible. A determination unit is configured to determine, based on a relationship between the flying object and the other flying object, content of a passing operation to be performed with respect to the other flying object. A flight control unit is configured to, if it is judged that passing is possible, control flight of the flying object and perform the passing operation according to the determined content.

Abstract: Flight type determination unit determines a flight type of drone on the basis of parameters obtained by flight schedule obtainment unit. The flight type includes a travel type, which uses a destination as a parameter, a touring type, which uses a range in space (a touring range) as a parameter, and a hovering type, which uses a position in space (a hovering position) as a parameter. Allocation rule storage unit stores allocation rules for flight airspace corresponding to each of the plurality of flight types. Flight airspace allocation unit allocates flight airspace to drone on the basis of allocation rules corresponding to the flight type of that drone as indicated by the parameters obtained for that drone.

Abstract: An information apparatus includes a schedule obtainment unit that obtains flight schedule information transmitted from terminals. Allocation unit allocates an airspace and a permitted flight period to drone based on the obtained flight schedule information. If there is a predetermined commonality in the airspaces and the flight directions of multiple drones, allocation unit causes those multiple drones to share the airspace under the condition that formation flight in which distances therebetween are controlled is performed. Allocation unit determines an arrangement in which multiple drones are aligned in the order in which drones withdraw from formation flight as the arrangement of multiple drones during formation flight. Also, allocation unit determines an arrangement in which drone that does not include a formation flight function is in front and drone that includes formation flight function follows therebehind.

Abstract: The present invention suppresses the case where communication performed by a radio communication apparatus of one flight vehicle is negatively influenced in the case where the radio communication apparatus of the one flight vehicle is connected to a radio base station that is experiencing interference due to a radio communication apparatus of another flight vehicle. A distance specification unit specifies, for each airspace, a distance between a first flight vehicle and a second flight vehicle that has a radio communication apparatus and is located in a cell formed by a radio base station that is experiencing interference due to a radio communication apparatus of the first flight vehicle. An instruction unit instructs, in each airspace, the first flight vehicle and the second flight vehicle to maintain the distance specified for the airspace by the distance specification unit when flying.
