Title:
FACILITATING LOCATION POSITIONING SERVICE THROUGH A UAV NETWORK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/114496
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for providing location positioning service for locating a transportation apparatus through a UAV network (100) is provided. A location center (202) may be employed to receive a location service request for locating a specific transportation apparatus. After receiving such a request, the location center (202) may inquire a location database for last known location of the requested transportation apparatus. Based on the last known location of the requested transportation apparatus, the location center (202) may predict one or more areas in which the requested transportation apparatus may be currently in. Based on the prediction, the location center (202) may be configured to generate one or more control instructions to one or more UAVs (102) in the UAV network (100) to locate the requested transportation apparatus in those areas. The method can locate a moving transportation apparatus without requiring the transportation apparatus be near a beacon such as a cell tower, or requiring the moving transportation apparatus to be trackable through GPS.
