Abstract

An operating system for a working machine includes drones having GNSS receivers, and working machines having take-off and landing ports and is configured so that positional information on the working machines is acquired by the GNSS receivers of the drones to be placed on the take-off and landing ports.

Claims (20)

1. An operation system for a working machine, the operation system comprising:

a drone having a GNSS receiver; and

a working machine having a take-off and landing port, wherein

the operation system is configured so that positional information on a position of the working machine is acquired by the GNSS receiver of the drone placed on the take-off and landing port.

2. The operation system for the working machine according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the drone and the take-off and landing port includes a holding mechanism for enabling the drone to be held on the take-off and landing port.

3. The operation system for the working machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the working machine includes two take-off and landing ports, and the operation system is configured so that the positional information on the position of the working machine is acquired by two GNSS receivers of two drones placed on the two take-off and landing ports.

4. The operation system for the working machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the drone includes two GNSS receivers, and

the working machine is configured so that the positional information on the position of the working machine is acquired by the two GNSS receivers of the one drone placed on the take-off and landing port.

5. The operation system for the working machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the drone includes a camera and is configured to acquire terrain data of a working site while flying.

6. An operation system for a working machine, the operation system comprising:

a drone having a GNSS receiver; and

a take-off and landing adapter having a take-off and landing port and to be used by being attached to a working machine, wherein

the operation system is configured so that positional information on a position of the working machine is acquired by the GNSS receiver of the drone placed on the take-off and landing port.

7. A working machine comprising

a take-off and landing port, wherein

the working machine is configured so that positional information on a position of the working machine is acquired by a GNSS receiver of a drone placed on the take-off and landing port.
