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 (42)

1. A system for collecting information regarding a flight restriction region comprising:

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 from a user via a user input device, an input specifying a location for a flight restriction region;

search one or more external data sources for information associated with the flight restriction region; and

determine a parameter of the flight restriction region based on the location received from the user and the information associated with the flight restriction region.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the location of the flight restriction region includes at least one of global coordinates of the location, a street address of the location, or a portion of a map selected via finger touch or pointer selection.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the flight restriction region is a private residence or a commercial region.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more external data sources include government data sources, sources that list airport information, or public records.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more external data sources are publicly accessible over the Internet or privately accessible with granted access.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the flight restriction region includes property boundary lines and an altitude limit of the location.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the flight restriction region includes a category of the flight restriction region, or a type of flight response measure of the flight restriction region.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the flight restriction region includes information about an ownership of the flight restriction region or information about an identity of the user.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the flight restriction region is cylindrical, spherical, or semi-spherical.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein a space of the flight restriction region is determined based on the location of the flight restriction region and the information associated with the flight restriction region.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to individually or collectively provide a map with a representation of the flight restriction region.

12. A method of collecting information regarding a flight restriction region, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user via a user input device, an input specifying a location for a flight restriction region;

searching, with aid of one or more processors, one or more external data sources for information associated with the flight restriction region from one or more external data sources based on the location; and

determining, with aid of one or more processors, a parameter of the flight restriction region based on the location received from the user and the information associated with the flight restriction region.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the location of the flight restriction region includes at least one of global coordinates of the location, a street address of the location, or a portion of a map selected via finger touch or pointer selection.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the flight restriction region is a private residence or a commercial region.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the information associated with the flight restriction region includes property boundary lines and an altitude limit of the location.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the information associated with the flight restriction region includes a category of the flight restriction region, or a type of flight response measure of the flight restriction region.

17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the information associated with the flight restriction region includes information about an ownership of the flight restriction region or information about an identity of the user.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the flight restriction region is cylindrical, spheric, or semi-spherical.

19. The method of claim 12 , wherein a space of the flight restriction region is determined based on the location of the flight restriction region and the information associated with the flight restriction region.

20. The method of claim 12 , further comprising providing a map with a representation of the flight restriction region.

21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the parameter of the flight restriction region includes a boundary of the flight restriction region.

22. The system of claim 1 , wherein searching the one or more external data sources is performed by at least one of a web crawling software or a spidering software.

23. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the parameter of the flight restriction region includes a boundary of the flight restriction region;

the one or more external data sources include at least one of: a government data source, a source that lists airport information, a public record, a source that is publicly accessible over the internet, or a source that is privately accessible; and

searching the one or more external data sources is performed by at least one of a web crawling software or a spidering software.

24. The method of claim 12 , wherein the parameter of the flight restriction region includes a boundary of the flight restriction region.

25. The method of claim 12 , wherein searching the one or more external data sources is performed by at least one of a web crawling software or a spidering software.

26. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more external data sources include government data sources, sources that list airport information, or public records.

27. The method of claim 12 , wherein the one or more external data sources are publicly accessible over the Internet or privately accessible with granted access.

28. The method of claim 12 , wherein:

the parameter of the flight restriction region includes a boundary of the flight restriction region;

the one or more external data sources include at least one of: a government data source, a source that lists airport information, a public record, a source that is publicly accessible over the internet, or a source that is privately accessible; and

searching the one or more external data sources is performed by at least one of a web crawling software or a spidering software.
