Abstract

A system for collecting information regarding a flight restriction region includes one or more processors and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to individually or collectively receive an input specifying a location of the flight restriction region from a user via a user input device, obtain information associated with the flight restriction region from one or more external data sources based on the location, and determine a space of the flight restriction region based on the information associated with the flight restriction region.

Claims (52)

1. A system for managing a restriction region, the system comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

receive one or more parameters of a designated restriction region for a vehicle, wherein: the one or more parameters are input by a user via a user interface, and the one or more parameters include a duration or time period over which the designated restriction region is restricted;

authenticate, based on the one or more parameters, an identity of the user to determine whether the user is authorized to designate the restriction region, wherein a longer duration or time period which the designated restriction region is restricted corresponds to a higher degree of authentication;

in response to determining the user is authorized to designate the restriction region, store the one or more parameters of the designated restriction region to a database;

associate one or more response measures with the designated restriction region based on the one or more parameters; and

implement the one or more response measures to affect operation of the vehicle along a travel path when the vehicle is within or near the designated restriction region in the duration or time period.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein implementing the one or more response measure to affect operation of the vehicle includes at least one of (a) forcing the vehicle to change direction of movement away from the designated restriction region, (b) forcing the vehicle to stop, or (c) providing an alert.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine, from multiple degrees or types of authentication, a degree or type of authentication corresponding to the one or more parameters, and wherein authenticating the identity of the user is based on the determination.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identity of the user is authenticated using a password, a phrase, or a code entered by the user, or using biometric input from the user.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters of the designated restriction region further include a location associated with a private property or a commercial region.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to determine the user is authorized to designate the restriction region when the identity of the user is authenticated as an owner, a manager, or an authorized personnel of the private property or the commercial region.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

display the designated restriction region at the user interface.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

implementing the one or more response measures is performed when the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized vehicle; and

the vehicle is allowed to operate within or near the designated restriction region when the vehicle is determined to be an authorized vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the duration or time period is associated with at least one of:

a special or non-regular event, or

a recurring or regular event having a corresponding predetermined length.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters further include boundary information of the designated restriction region, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

associate the duration or time period with the boundary information such that boundaries of the designated restriction region are removed or shrunk outside the duration or time period.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the database is a temporary database.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the database is a private database that is privately accessible with granted access, or a public database that is publicly accessible over the Internet.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more parameters of the designated restriction region include at least a location, and the one or more processors are further configured to:

access information associated with the designated restriction region from one or more third party data sources based on the location.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more third party data sources are private data sources that are privately accessible with granted access, or public data sources that are publicly accessible over the Internet.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more third party data sources include government data sources, public records, or sources that list airport information, military bases, jurisdictional border, or public sensitive areas.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the information includes one or more response measures associated with the designated restriction region that are extracted from the one or more third party data sources.

17. A system for managing a restriction region, the system comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

receive one or more first parameters of a designated restriction region for a vehicle, the one or more first parameters being input by a first user via a user interface;

authenticate, based on the one or more first parameters, an identity of the first user to determine whether the first user is authorized to designate the restriction region;

in response to determining the first user is authorized to designate the restriction region, store the one or more first parameters of the designated restriction region to database;

receive one or more second parameters of the designated restriction region input by a second user via the user interface;

authenticate, based on the one or more second parameters, an identity of the second user to determine whether the second user is authorized to designate the restriction region;

aggregate the one or more first parameters and the one or more second parameters to generate one or more aggregated parameters, wherein the one or more first parameters or the one or more second parameters include a duration or time period over which the designated restriction region is restricted, and a longer duration or time period which the designated restriction region is restricted corresponds to a higher degree of authentication;

store the one or more aggregated parameters of the designated restriction region to the database;

associate one or more response measures with the designated restriction region based on the one or more parameters; and

implement the one or more response measures to affect operation of the vehicle along a travel path when the vehicle is within or near the designated restriction region.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

associate one or more response measures with the designated restriction region based on the one or more parameters; and

implement the one or more response measures to affect operation of the vehicle along a travel path when the vehicle is within or near the designated restriction region.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein implementing the one or more response measure to affect operation of the vehicle includes at least one of (a) forcing the vehicle to change direction of movement away from the designated restriction region, (b) forcing the vehicle to stop, or (c) providing an alert.

20. A system for managing a restriction region, the system comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

receive one or more parameters of a designated restriction region for a vehicle, wherein: the one or more parameters are input by a user via a user interface, and the one or more parameters include a duration or time period over which the designated restriction region is restricted;

authenticate, based on the one or more parameters, an identity of the user to determine whether the user is authorized to designate the restriction region, wherein a longer duration or time period which the designated restriction region is restricted corresponds to a higher degree of authentication;

in response to determining the user is authorized to designate the restriction region, store the one or more parameters of the designated restriction region to a database;

associate one or more response measures with the designated restriction region based on the one or more parameters; and

send the designated restriction region and the one or more response measures to the vehicle.
