Abstract

A method of communication using "integrated addresses" of natural and legal persons, each "integrated address" containing information apt to enable communication with natural persons and legal entities, as well as with unmanned aerial devices having been assigned a consignment to holders of such "integrated addresses". The information comprises the coordinates of a point (A) indicating location of the mobile phone of the holder, coordinates of at least two auxiliary points (B,C) proximally to the above location of the holder thereby forming a "Micro-space" including a planar view of points (A,B,C) and a prism formed by the verticals originating therefrom, the phone number and an exclusively communication dedicated ringtone of the mobile phone, the audio waveform of which creates a "friendly space" that includes point (A). The integrated address is recorded in an electronic application file of each user, an electronic address of this file being thereafter provided in place of a conventional address. When the user changes his address, he updates the electronic file, so everyone has valid information of the user's address at any time. An unmanned aerial device equipped with a receiver of sound waves and with an audio signal measuring device may enter a multi-storey building to perform a consignment addressed to the user, such device being navigated by means of electromagnetic waves until it enters the "Micro-space", thereafter being navigated through audio waves emitted by the mobile phone of the user.

Description

Method of communication of natural persons and of legal entities through use of "integrated addresses"
THE FIELD OF THE ART
The invention relates to a method of communication of natural persons and of legal entities having been attributed with an "integrated address" with other natural persons or legal entities and with unmanned aerial systems including drones and the like, wherein the "integrated address" used in a communication process contains an information package apt to enable communication with natural and legal persons, as well as with unmanned aerial systems. Coordinates of a point in space indicating location of a natural person or legal entity within a geographical area are being precisely determined through establishment of the location of an electronic device (mobile, tablet or other) thereof, such coordinates being used along with other information pertinent to the natural person or legal entity located at the point indicated by the aforementioned coordinates to comprise an information package content of an "integrated address", such information package thereafter being registered as an electronic file in a communication enabling electronic application, that is briefly named "Afaiss".
THE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nowadays, when an "address" is referred to, the postal address of a building in a city or village is being recalled, such postal address including the name and number of a street, the name of the region, city and postal code thereof. For those digitally oriented, an address would indicate a digitally defined point with a specific latitude and longitude, e.g. such as used in GPS and in Google maps. The latter provides locating of land loci yet not included in town planning and therefore not identifiable in the traditional manner, i.e. by reference to a street, number, town, etc. However, the multi-storey buildings in the cities do appear with the same geographical latitude and longitude, from the terrace to the ground floor, thereby attributing a single address to a plurality of residents in the same building.
Moreover, in case one attempts to determine the altitude of a specific location within a multi-storey building using Google maps or other available altitude detection applications, he would end up with yarying unreliable outcomes.
It is therefore evident that there is a clearly apparent and substantial differentiation in the content of an address and a redefinition of the term and its content is required.
In a modern world that is characterized by population mobility and frequent changes of place of work and residence, an address identifiable in the manner it was decades ago is rendered inappropriate. In a modern world again, it is considered an achievement to guide a flight of unmanned aerial devices, such as drones and the like in open air using GPS and Google maps and land the same outdoors or onto the roof of a building, whilst such aerial devices are unable to fly within a complex urban l environment such as in a modern city. Furthermore flight of these aerial devices within a building wherein precise locating of a position plays an important role in fulfilling delivery of goods, letters and related items is presently deemed non possible. Among other things, drones are ineffective within cities because there are many different physical obstacles, electromagnetic fields and Wi-Fi that may interfere and change the flight data, whilst a deviation from a predetermined landing point can cause destruction of the flying device and injuries to people.
Regardless of whether locating of positioning by satellites may also present deviation from the actual position, it is indifferent if the determination of altitude is unreliable due to error in the application being used or due to erroneous navigation of the flying device, since the end result is by all means unacceptable. It is for this reason that it is necessary to establish a novel mode of deterrrdning and recording an address in order to make such address mode suitable for appropriately guiding and receiving visitors at dynamically changing locations, i.e. at the office, at home and elsewhere and in consideration of the requirement that an unmanned aerial devices including drones and the like might also be a visitor. Most importantly, since the problem of address change would still have negative consequences analogous to presently manifested experience, a novel method of address determination proposed in the present invention does also provide for the solution of this problem.
It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a method of determining an "integrated address" of a natural person or of a legal entity, such "integrated address" including information that exceeds the present content of a postal address, is being recorded in an electronic file in a predetermined format common for all such "integrated addresses" and providing a capacity of handy and precise identification of the exact location of a registered owner of such "integrated address" with an accuracy of only a few cm.
It is a further object of the invention to propose a database wherein are being registered the aforementioned electronic files of "integrated addresses" of individuals and of legal entities, thereby solving the problem of present day requirements of submitting information relating to an address change to a plurality of various authorities, professional and or social acquaintances of an individual or of a legal entity, since such recordal of an address change may be concluded by means of a single recordal of the change in the aforementioned database.
It is a further object of the invention to propose an appropriate content of such "integrated address" that would enable other natural persons, irrespectively of whether these other natural persons are registered owners of an integrated address or not, as well as unmanned aerial devices to pay a guided visit to the owner of such "integrated address", wherein a natural person or an unmanned aerial device, i.e. drone and the like, arrives at the vicinity of an entrance to the building wherein is located the recipient individual owner of the "integrated address" in a more or less conventional manner and thereafter the natural person visitor or the software inbuilt in an unmanned aerial device calls the recipient individual and establishes an interactive communication with an electronic device thereof thereby being guided at the appropriate floor and flat within the building to meet the recipient individual.
The word "recipient" is used to denote an individual adapted to accept a consignment, i.e. delivery of letters, parcels, etc. by individuals, by legal entities, as well as by unmanned aerial devices.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will be hereinafter described by reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 shows a planar view of an area with blocks comprising multi-storey buildings, wherein a point locus (A) of a recipient's location is provided at an unknown altitude within one of these buildings and wherein an unmanned aerial device is in accordance to the invention adapted to approach this point locus (A) with a scope of delivery of goods addressed to the recipient
Fig. 2 shows a diagrammatic illustration of the technical equipment required for setting up and operating the method according to the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
According to the invention, the recipient designates a broader geographical area, notionally termed "Mega-space", within which an unmanned aerial device, i.e. a drone and the like, may safely fly at an appropriate height above buildings from a point of departure to a destination that is the "integrated address" of the recipient to whom delivery of specified goods (postal letters, parcels or other goods) is intended. The recipient further designates a predetermined confined geographical area, proximate to his location, such area notionally termed "Micro-space". The Micro-space has a geometrical configuration that is defined by a vertical passing through point (A) that designates location of the electronic device of the recipient and points (B) and (C), which are located at ground level along the vicinity of a facade of the building within which is located the recipient, such facade being selected to be provided with door and/or window openings through which an unmanned aerial device may enter the building and reach point (A) that designates location of the electronic device of the recipient in a manner to be explained hereinafter. As shown in Fig. 1 the Micro-space therefore has a triangular planar view and a three-dimensional configuration of a triangular prism that extends from ground level up to the level of flight of an unmanned aerial device. When such an unmanned aerial device arrives at the Micro- space, it begins moving downwardly until a specific ring tone of the electronic device of the recipient is received, whereby the unmanned aerial device begins moving within a so termed "Friendly-space" that is the space along the horizontal section of the Micro-space that corresponds to the location of point (A) of the recipient's electronic device. The so termed "Friendly Space" is the space of destination of the unmanned aerial device and has no predetermined geographical limits, as its limits are being dynamically determined by the intensity of the sound waves emitted by the electronic device of the recipient dedicated to perform such interactive communication with the unmanned aerial device. Whilst navigation of the unmanned aerial device within the Mega-space, from the point of departure thereof until the "friendly-space" within the Micro-space is reached, is performed through conventional means, e.g. with a GPS or with a wireless navigation control device, that is, by means of electromagnetic waves, or is performed by a processor provided in the unmanned aerial device and having been appropriately programmed, the navigation of the unmanned aerial device within the friendly space is not controlled by the aforementioned means, but through the aforementioned interactive communication with the electronic device of the recipient that is adapted to emit a predetermined ring tone that is received by an appropriately tuned receiving device of the unmanned aerial device. In order to implement the invention, an audio signal receiving device and an audio signal measuring device (decibel meter) with an associated processor need to be added to the basic technical equipment of an unmanned aerial device that is adapted to perform delivery of goods to a recipient owner of an integrated address in accordance with the invention, ft is herein noted mat the flight of the unmanned aerial device within the friendly space takes place with the scope of contacting the recipient and performing the aimed delivery of goods and to this end the device may also enter the building through an available open door or window.
As mentioned hereinabove, the sound waves emitted by the mobile phone or other relevant electronic device of the recipient undertake navigation of the unmanned aerial device within the Friendly space. It is noted that the use of an audio signal, such as a ringtone minimizes the risk of theft of the unmanned aerial device. It is further noted that the aforementioned audio signal receiving device and audio signal measuring device (decibel meter) equipment of the unmanned aerial device adapted to be used in the interactive communication process with a recipient can be accompanied with other sensors with a scope of enhancing navigating performance. By way of example the following auxiliary equipment might be used:
• electromagnetic waves or optical signals emitted by the mobile telephone or other electronic device of the recipient,
• a light beam or signs that may provide guidance towards the location of point (A) of the recipient,
· an application adapted to search for the maximum electromagnetic wave emission of the mobile device or other electronic device of the recipient,
• available electronically stored and readable photos that may provide recognition of a specific area of destination.
According to the present invention, coordinates of latitude A(lat) and longitude A(lon) of point (A) of the recipient's location are being determined through reference to Google maps or using a GPS device. If point (A) that designates location of the recipient is situated within a building, the system might also display the address of the property (street, number, zip code and city).
With a scope of overcoming the aforementioned problem of Google maps and of other alternative altitude detection applications that tend to provide varying unreliable outcomes, thereby limiting the utility of an "integrated address" for implementing a precise communication enabling process, coordinates of latitude (A-lat) and longitude (A-lon) of a point (A) indicating the position within a broad geographical mega-space of a mobile phone or other electronic device of a natural person or legal entity having been attributed with an "integrated address" are specified together with coordinates of at least a pair of additional points (B) and (C) with coordinates (Blat)-(Blon) and (Clat)-(Clon) respectively, such points (B) and (C) being located at zero altitude, i.e. at ground level along the vicinity of a facade of the building proximate to point (A) that indicates location of the recipient and preferably having door and/or window openings to allow access of an unmanned aerial device in the interior of the building.
Fig. 1 shows a planar view of an area with blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 comprising multistorey buildings, wherein a point locus (A) of a recipient's location is provided at an unknown altitude within one of these buildings in block 1 that is surrounded by the other blocks 2-7. The choice of the side of the building block 1 along which coordinates of points (B) and (C) are defined is being made taking in consideration availability of a door or window adapted to allow entrance of an unmanned aerial device in the building with a scope of approaching point (A) of the location of the recipient. If such an appropriate entrance is provided at the side of the building proximate to block 2, points (B) and (C) are provided along the pathway in between building blocks 1 and 2, or else if such appropriate entrance with door or window openings is provided at the side of the building proximate to block 4, points (B) and (C) are provided along the pathway in between building blocks 1 and 4. Having selected the appropriate building side, and having determined the coordinates of points (A), (B) and (C), the length of a perpendicular (AD) from the point (A) of the recipient's location onto a point (D) of the line passing through points (B) and (C) can be calculated and lengths of segments (BD) and (CD) can be calculated accordingly.
The cellular ringtone waveform adapted to initiate communication with the recipient is stored in the memory of a processor of the unmanned aerial device, wherein such ringtone waveform will be used to establish communication with an unmanned aerial device after the latter reaches the boundaries of the Micro-space the telephone number being provided in the information package of the recipient's integrated address is being dialled.
Following a consignment for delivery of goods to a specific recipient and notification of the recipient, the unmanned aerial device takes off and flies within the hereinabove termed Mega-space at a certain height from sea surface, which is determined by flight rules applicable at the specific area, wherein the unmanned aerial device encounters fewer obstacles and wherein the accuracy of the route it follows is indifferent as long as the destination is being observed. When the unmanned aerial device arrives at the vicinity of the imaginary vertical axis passing through point (B), it continues flying at the same height along a path leading to the imaginary vertical axis passing through point (C) until it reaches the imaginary vertical axis originating from point (D). It is noted that the unmanned aerial device is provided in advance with information relating to the distance (BD) it has to travel in order to arrive proximally to the vertical axis originating from point (D). Having arrived there, the unmanned aerial device stands floating still and then, in accordance with the software of the communication enabling application, the recipient's phone number as registered in the content of his integrated address is being called and the call being received in the electronic device of the recipient immediately creates the so termed "Friendly Space", whereby the unmanned aerial device follows the waveform corresponding to the selected registered ringtone of the recipient that is known in advance and thereafter it begins descending along the vertical axis proximally to the vertical axis originating from point (D) searching for a level of maximal intensity of the acoustic wave of the sound of the ringtone emitted from the electronic device of the recipient. In case that this specific audio signal cannot be detected all the way along up to near ground level, the unmanned aerial device moves vertically upwardly and begins to descend slowly in order to search for this audio signal once again.
When the audio signal is detected, it is considered that the unmanned aerial device has entered the "Friendly Space", i.e. the space within which there is an appropriately intense emission of such audio signal from the mobile phone or other electronic device of the recipient, such space being denoted by (S) and being shown in the form of an ellipse in Fig. 1 , such ellipse indicating the area covered by the sound signal of the telephone or other device. When within the Friendly space, communication of the unmanned aerial device with any other control center is interrupted and its flight is thereafter being controlled by a sound signal measuring device accommodated therein, such device providing a path to follow the intensity and direction of the audio signal and a predetermined procedure of approaching point (A) of the location of the recipient. The unmanned aerial device thus flies seeking the maximal intensity of the audio signal thereby moving towards point (A). Since an approximate value of the distance (DA) is known in advance, the unmanned aerial device moves in the direction of point (A) gradually covering this known distance (DA) until it lands even onto the mobile phone or other electronic device emitting the audio signal and representing the point (A) of the location of the recipient.
In another case where the point of entrance of the unmanned aerial device into the "friendly space" does not lie along line (A1D1) that is along the perpendicular from point (A) onto the segment (BC), but it lies along line (A1D1 ') which extends proximally to line (A1D1) and forms an angle with it, then again the unmanned aerial device flies in the direction of the vertical axis (Dl) until it enters the Friendly Space (SI). Thereafter navigation is similarly based on the intensity of the audio signal and the unmanned aerial device continuously corrects its path towards point (A) on the basis of seeking maximal intensity of such audio signal. Any obstacle that can be located in the course of the unmanned aerial device towards the source of the audio signal, i.e. point (A), reduces the intensity of the signal and thereby the unmanned aerial device accordingly corrects its course.
As the method of an unmanned aerial device performing a delivery mission as described hereinabove can locate a destination in the interior of a building, it can also easily be applied outdoors, in a hostile environment in terms of physical obstacles, electromagnetic fields, risks of theft, etc. Advanced sonic sensors provided with appropriate de-noising software are not affected by noise pollution, and in the event of a signal failure or missed approach in the Micro-Space and in the Friendly Space, the unmanned aerial device is being provided with a software command to cancel the mission and return to a predetermined position or base for reprogramming of the flight.
In the event that the recipient cannot be present at his Integrated Address wherein the consignment is to be performed, another individual, who is at this case an authorized 'Administrator" may undertake to open the entrance for the unmanned aerial device to enter the building. If this is the case after the recipient has been notified of the taking off of the unmanned aerial device being scheduled to deliver a consignment to him, he has to enter the communication enabling application and provide information of the provisional telephone number of the administrator, who would be available at the building to receive the consignment, whilst he also asks the administrator to download the communication enabling application on bis phone and choose a ringtone to install therein dedicated to the communication with the unmanned aerial device for achieving completion of the delivery process. The unmanned aerial device would thereafter seek to contact the administrator through approaching the ringtone emitted by his phone or other dedicated electronic device to perform the consignment
The risk of the unmanned aerial device crashing onto the ground is minimal since it is advantageously provided with information as to that points (B) and (C) are located at ground level, as to that sound and electromagnetic waves are more easily transmitted upwardly rather than downwardly, etc.. In case that the terrain is uneven, points (B) and (C) are defined in locations as close as possible to each other and at a short distance from point (D). Finally, following conclusion of the consignment, the recipient or the administrator leads the unmanned aerial device to the exit of the building wherefrom it may fly back to its base.
According to the invention, the coordinates of point (A) are accompanied by the coordinates of points (B) and (C) which have a zero height relative to the ground surface. A mode of presenting the system of coordinates employed in the communication enabling application of the invention would be {Alat, Alog, (Blat, Biog, Clat, Clog)], briefly [A (B, C)], wherein (A) denotes the position of the owner of an integrated address and (B, C) are the position locating auxiliary points, which are entered within brackets regardless of the sequence thereof. However, for practical reasons in a communication process with point (A), the first of the auxiliary points inserted in the brackets indicates that the vertical axis starting from this point, i.e. point (B) in this case, will be the point of destination of the unmanned aerial device in its flight towards point (A) of the recipient of the scheduled consignment.
In order for the communication enabling process of the invention to be implemented, an electronic application needs to be created and the natural person or legal entity being provided with an "integrated address" has to download this application in a mobile phone or other electronic device 21 as shown in Fig. 2 and register the "integrated address" in the application. In addition to the name, etc., other necessary data that need to be submitted for completion of registration is a phone number and a ringtone selected from a library of ringtones provided and downloaded in the mobile phone or other electronic device, this ringtone being exclusively dedicated to work only in relation to the aforementioned communication enabling application.
In another embodiment of the invention the unmanned aerial device is navigated within the Micro-Space again on the basis of the vertical axis passing through point (D) and the predetermined distance (AD), but through means other than the audio signal of the ringtone of the recipient. By way of example such alternative means might be electromagnetic waves or optical signals emitted by the mobile telephone or other electronic device of the recipient, a light beam or bright signs that may provide guidance towards the location of point (A) of the recipient, electronically stored and readable photos that may provide recognition of a specific area of destination, etc.
In accordance with a further embodiment of the invention, a registered owner of an "integrated address" may through an appropriate application downloadable in his mobile phone or other electronic device undertake wireless navigation of the unmanned aerial device through the mobile or other device when the latter arrives within the Micro-space thereby guiding it fast and safely at his locus point (A) to fulfill the consignment. In order to implement this embodiment, the unmanned aerial device will have to be provided with the appropriate relevant to communication, tracing, tracking and processing equipment.
When the natural person or legal entity is registered in the communication enabling application of the invention, e.g. operated by a server with a domain name www.afais.xxx, it is being assigned one or more domain names in the form of www.afaiss.xxx/user, wherein such domain name or names contains files of all its registered Integrated Addresses. The acronym "user" in the above domain name www.afaiss.xxx/user is defined by the owner of the Integrated address(es) at his choice and it may consist of numbers, words, symbols or combinations thereof, such domain name being permanently maintained for the particular user until he desires to disable it at any time.
As shown in Fig. 2, an owner of an integrated address may, from either position 22 that is likely to be his home or from position 23 that probably is his place of work, act on the basis of instructions given by the communication enabling application of the invention, to register in his personal file afaiss.xxx/user the coordinates of the positions (22) and (23), such coordinates having the form [Ai (Bi, Ci)], where (i) is a natural number.
An acceptable condition for locating the position of a physical person or of a legal entity and registering it as an Integrated Address is the recordal of the coordinates of at least three points in the form mentioned herein above, recordal of the mobile phone number and of a ringtone available in the library of the cornmunication enabling application.
In case that a holder of an integrated address wishes to associate the location thereof as declared in the file of this integrated address with a physical address of a property with the conventional imprint (country, city, street, number, postal code), then he may enter these features also or these features only. When the holder of an integrated address is located at premises thoroughly closed without appropriate door or window openings to outdoors, even then the Integrated Address is being recorded in the afaiss.xxx/user records. In this case a plurality of sensors is employed in combination in order to achieve navigation of the unmanned aerial device vvithin the Friendly Space, however with a great deal of difficulty.
Having being provided with an integrated address, the recipient (natural person or legal entity) may, instead of a conventional address, indicate his affaiss.xxx/user file. Another natural person or legal entity wishing to dispatch goods to be delivered to the recipient may access the recipient's affaiss.xxx/user file in order to gather information of his current full address irrespectively of whether the user has recorded it in the conventional mode with name of street, number, city and post code or in the mode proposed by the invention.
In particular, a consigner may retrieve the recipient's address through typing the recipient's afaiss.xxx/user in his mobile phone or other electronic device 25, may thereafter enter the communication enabling application in the database 24, retrieve either the home address 22 or work address 23 of the recipient or both the addresses 22, 23, depending on what has been made public by the recipient, and in case where the desired address is imprinted in the conventional format, the consigner may print it in a printer 26 and obtain a label to be stuck onto an envelope 27 that is the object of the consignment.
In the case where the address is imprinted as [Ai (Bi, Ci)] with a scope of directing a flight of an unmanned aerial device at the location being indicated by these coordinates, the flight data are being transferred to the flight control center of the unmanned aerial devices. The consigner may also print a label with the data onto the envelope 27 in the format of [Ai (Bi, Ci)], whereby the decoding of this format can be made by an intermediary service, such as the post office for example. The consigner sees the Integrated Address of the recipient in the aforementioned or in a conventional format without any misspellings, or errors. He may possibly find and use a past, not valid address of the recipient, but such an erroneous use is part of the private sphere of the recipient's choice of how to use the application and has nothing to do with erroneous performance of the method of the invention since it is the choice of the citizen to decide to use or not use this method.
In a world characterized by the mobility of the population, the frequent changes of addresses, the need for reliable information, the need of reducing the time and the cost of transport, and the rapid development of the means of transport, the invention of the method of communication using 'Integrated addresses' of the present invention is an innovation useful to the community.
