　続いて、図７及び図８の図面を参照して、本実施の形態の予約の流れを説明する。図７に示されるように、ユーザは自己の端末等から予約をしたいドローンが格納されている格納装置に関する情報を「拠点」として選択する。拠点はドローンを使いたい地点や、現在の位置などに基づいて複数の格納装置から選択することができる。次に、活用の用途に応じた一以上のドローンを選択する。これにより、希望に適した機能を有する最適なドローンを選択することができる。また、搭載物がある場合には、ペイロードを選択することも可能である。選択が終わると、飛行ルートが生成されるなお、予め記録されていたルートや、ユーザが作成したルートの情報を一部又は全部として利用することもできる。最後に、飛行が完了した先で行われる活動（空撮、点検、測量、輸送等）に関する設定を行う。その後、ユーザはドローンを使用したい日時・時間帯の情報の入力を行い、スケジュールを確保できているか否か確認し、予約を確保できる場合には、ユーザに対して予約が完了した旨の通知を行う。予約の確保ができない場合には、他の時間帯やドローンの特性に関する選択を再選択させてもよい。　 Subsequently, a reservation flow according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 7, the user selects, as “base”, information related to the storage device in which the drone that the user wants to reserve is stored from his / her terminal or the like. The base can be selected from a plurality of storage devices based on the location where the drone is to be used and the current location. Next, select one or more drones according to the application. Thereby, it is possible to select an optimal drone having a function suitable for the request. If there is a load, it is also possible to select a payload. When the selection is completed, a flight route is generated. Information on a route recorded in advance or a route created by the user can also be used as part or all of the information. Finally, settings related to activities (aerial photography, inspection, surveying, transportation, etc.) performed after the flight has been completed are made. After that, the user inputs information on the date / time zone in which he / she wants to use the drone, checks whether the schedule is secured, and if the reservation can be secured, notifies the user that the reservation has been completed. Do. If the reservation cannot be secured, the selection related to other time zones or drone characteristics may be reselected. *
　図８は予約の指定を先に選択させる場合の流れである。即ち、ユーザは、拠点選択後、ドローンを使用したい日時・時間帯の情報の入力を行い、スケジュールを確保できるか否か確認し、予約を確保できる場合には、ユーザに対して予約が完了した旨の通知を行う。予約の確保ができない場合には、他の時間帯やドローンの特性に関する選択を再選択させてもよい。その後に、活用の用途に応じた一以上のドローンを選択し、ペイロードを選択する。選択が終わると、飛行ルートが生成される。最後に、飛行が完了した先で行われる活動（空撮、点検、測量、輸送等）に関する設定を行う。 Fig. 8 shows the flow when selecting the reservation first. In other words, after selecting a base, the user inputs information on the date and time zone in which he / she wants to use the drone, confirms whether the schedule can be secured, and if the reservation can be secured, the reservation is completed for the user. Notification to that effect. If the reservation cannot be secured, the selection related to other time zones or drone characteristics may be reselected. After that, select one or more drones according to the usage, and select the payload. Once selected, a flight route is generated. Finally, settings related to activities (aerial photography, inspection, surveying, transportation, etc.) performed after the flight has been completed are made.
　上述した予約リクエストは、少なくとも目的情報を含んでいる。目的情報には、作業の内容、作業の日時、作業の場所、が含まれている。この目的情報に応じて、いずれのドローンによって実行するのかが決定される。ドローンの選定は、当該目的情報の達成に必要な機能（ペイロード、装備等）に応じて行われる。ドローンが選定されると、当該ドローンを格納する最適な格納装置が選択される。 The reservation request described above includes at least purpose information. The purpose information includes the contents of the work, the date and time of the work, and the place of the work. Depending on the purpose information, it is determined which drone to execute. The drone is selected according to the functions (payload, equipment, etc.) necessary to achieve the objective information. When a drone is selected, an optimal storage device for storing the drone is selected.
　上述したシステムは、災害・緊急時にも使用することができる。この場合、判断部は、受信部が災害信号や緊急避難信号を受信した場合に一般のユーザからの予約リクエストの一部又は全部を不許可にしたり、既に予約されている時間帯をキャンセルするなどして災害・緊急事態等に対応できるように待機する。 The above-described system can be used in a disaster / emergency. In this case, when the receiving unit receives a disaster signal or emergency evacuation signal, the determination unit disallows part or all of a reservation request from a general user, cancels a time slot that has already been reserved, etc. And wait for disasters and emergencies.
＜ユーザの使用例＞
　次に、図９乃至図１４を参照して、ユーザの利用例を説明する。以下の利用例は、ユーザが所定の場所に行く際にガイドするものであるが、例えば、所定の場所の空撮や探索、災害避難等のアナウンスをしながらの飛行や、作業員に同行して又は同行なくドローンが自律的に電線などのインフラ設備を点検する場合など様々な用途に拡張して利用することができる。 <User usage examples>
Next, user usage examples will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 14. In the following usage examples, the user guides the user when he / she goes to a predetermined location. For example, he / she accompanies a flight while making an announcement such as aerial photography and search of a predetermined location, disaster evacuation, etc. For example, when a drone autonomously inspects infrastructure facilities such as electric wires with or without the company, it can be used for various purposes.
　図９に示されるように、ユーザは、地図上の所定の場所に位置している。予約時間になると、予約した格納装置から予約で指定した場所へドローン３１が飛行する。この際、図１０に示されるように、予約に関するドローン３１が格納装置から移動中であることを示すようにしてもよい。図１１に示されるようにドローン３１はユーザのもとへ到着する。ドローン３１は、生成されたルートに従って、ユーザから所定の距離をとった状態で飛行する。図１３に示すように、目的地に着くと、ドローン３１の任務は完了する。ドローン３１は、元の格納装置２１に帰還する。 As shown in FIG. 9, the user is located at a predetermined location on the map. When the reservation time comes, the drone 31 flies from the reserved storage device to the place specified by the reservation. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, it may be indicated that the drone 31 related to the reservation is moving from the storage device. As shown in FIG. 11, the drone 31 arrives at the user. The drone 31 flies at a predetermined distance from the user according to the generated route. As shown in FIG. 13, when the destination is reached, the mission of the drone 31 is completed. The drone 31 returns to the original storage device 21.
　上述した実施の形態においては、ドローンは飛行を開始した格納装置に帰還することとしていた。しかしながら、目的地までの距離、目的地での作業内容、電源の残容量等に応じて飛行を開始した拠点とは異なる格納装置（例えば、図１３の格納装置２２等）に帰還することとしてもよい。即ち、ドローンと格納装置とが一対一で固定的に関連付けられているのではなく、複数の格納装置を複数のドローンによって共有することとしてもよい。この場合、管理サーバでは、各ドローンの位置と格納装置の位置、それぞれの稼働状況などに応じて必要な情報を拠点、帰還先の格納装置及びドローンに送信することとすればよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the drone is supposed to return to the storage device that has started flying. However, depending on the distance to the destination, the work contents at the destination, the remaining capacity of the power source, etc. Good. That is, the drone and the storage device are not fixedly associated with each other in a one-to-one manner, but a plurality of storage devices may be shared by a plurality of drones. In this case, the management server may transmit necessary information according to the position of each drone, the position of the storage device, and the operation status of each drone to the base, the storage device of the return destination, and the drone.
　格納装置間を柔軟に飛行可能にすることによって、通常であれば、往復の飛行距離の制限を考慮してルートを生成する必要がなくなり、飛距離が長くなる。 By allowing the storage devices to fly flexibly, normally, it is not necessary to generate a route in consideration of the limit of the round-trip flight distance, and the flight distance becomes longer.
　なお、目的や用途を入力するのみで必要なドローンが格納されている格納装置が自動で選択されることとしてもよい。この場合、例えば、図１５及び図１６に示されるようなデータ管理を行うこととすればよい。即ち、図１５に示されるように、データテーブルは、格納装置の識別番号と保管されている機体番号とを関連付けて管理する。また、図１６に示されるように、機体番号と当該機体の用途と、具体的な機種名を関連付けて管理するデータテーブルを備えていてもよい。 It should be noted that a storage device in which a necessary drone is stored may be automatically selected simply by inputting a purpose or application. In this case, for example, data management as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 may be performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 15, the data table manages the identification number of the storage device in association with the stored machine number. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, a data table may be provided that manages the machine number, the use of the machine, and a specific model name in association with each other.
　本発明の飛行体は、マルチコプター・ドローン等の飛行機関連産業において利用することができ、さらに、本発明は、カメラ等を搭載した空撮用の飛行体としても好適に使用することができる他、セキュリティ分野、農業、インフラ点検等の様々な産業にも利用することができる。 The flying object of the present invention can be used in airplane related industries such as a multicopter drone. Furthermore, the present invention can be suitably used as an aerial photography flying object equipped with a camera or the like. It can also be used in various industries such as security, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection.
　上述した実施の形態は、本発明の理解を容易にするための例示に過ぎず、本発明を限定して解釈するためのものではない。本発明は、その趣旨を逸脱することなく、変更、改良することができると共に、本発明にはその均等物が含まれることは言うまでもない。 The embodiment described above is merely an example for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention.
