Operation management method, operation management device, and operation management program

1. An operation management method adapted to an operation management device configured to manage an operation of a flight device to be controlled by a communication terminal which is linked with the flight device over a wireless communication line using unlicensed bands and which is linked with the operation management device over a mobile telephone line using licensed bands for a subscriber having subscriber identification information, the method comprising:

acquiring, from the communication terminal over the mobile telephone line different from the wireless communication line, flight application information including the subscriber identification information to identify the subscriber to the mobile telephone line, flight-device identification information to identify the flight device, and a flight area for the flight device to fly which is defined by a flight-start position and a destination of the flight device, or a flight route of the flight device;

acquiring, from the communication terminal over the mobile telephone line, operation information including the subscriber identification information, the flight-device identification information, and position information of the flight device which is detected by the flight device and which the communication terminal acquires from the flight device during flight over the wireless communication line different from the mobile telephone line; and

performing an authentication as to whether the operation information complies with the flight application information upon determining whether the position information of the flight device be included in the flight area for the flight device covering the flight-start position of the flight device before flight or the flight route of the flight device during flight, thus implementing (i) or (ii),

(i) upon successful authentication, sending permit information to permit the flight of the flight device to the communication terminal,

(ii) upon failed authentication, sending error information to the communication terminal, thus displaying the error information on the communication terminal.

2. The operation management method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

storing, the flight application information representing a flight application of the flight device on a storage before acquiring the subscriber identification information, the position information, and the flight-device identification information from the communication terminal, wherein the flight application information includes information indicating a flight date and time in association with the flight area of the flight device.

3. An operation management device configured to manage an operation of a flight device to be controlled by a communication terminal which is linked with the flight device over a wireless communication line using unlicensed bands and which is liked with the operation management device over a mobile telephone line using licensed bands for a subscriber having subscriber identification information, the operation management device comprising a memory configured to store instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire from the communication terminal over the mobile telephone line, flight application information including the subscriber identification information to identify the subscriber to the mobile telephone line, flight-device identification information to identify the flight device, and a flight area for the flight device to fly which is defined by a flight-start position and a destination of the flight device, or a flight route of the flight device;

acquire from the communication terminal over the mobile telephone line, operation information including the subscriber identification information, the flight-device identification information, and position information of the flight device which is detected by the flight device and which the communication terminal acquires from the flight device during flight over the wireless communication line different from the mobile telephone line; and

perform an authentication as to whether the operation information complies with the flight application information upon determining whether the position information of the flight device be included in the flight area for the flight device covering the flight-start position of the flight device before flight or the flight route of the flight during flight, thus implementing (i) or (ii),

(i) upon successful authentication, sending permit information to permit the flight of the flight device to the communication terminal,

(ii) upon failed authentication, sending error information to the communication terminal, thus displaying the error information on the communication terminal.

4. The operation management device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to store on a storage the flight application information representing a flight application of the flight device before acquiring the subscriber identification information, the position information, and the flight-device identification information from the communication terminal, wherein the flight application information includes information indicating a flight date and time in association with the flight area of the flight device.
