Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A base apparatus for docking of at least one flying apparatus includes a controller. The controller outputs information of a location to which the base apparatus is to be moved, the location being determined based on a predetermined condition including a condition related to the battery level of the at least one flying apparatus.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A base apparatus for docking of at least one flying apparatus, the base apparatus comprising: a controller configured to output information of a target location to which the base apparatus is to be moved, the target location being determined based on a predetermined condition including a condition related to a battery level of the at least one flying apparatus. 2 . The base apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to output the information of the target location from a notification interface as a notification comprising at least one of, or any combination of, visual information, auditory information, and tactile information. 3 . The base apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the base apparatus is installed in transportation means; and wherein the controller is configured to output the information of the target location to the transportation means. 4 . The base apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the transportation means performs autonomous driving based on the information of the target location. 5 . The base apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the transportation means is driven by a driver to approach the target location based on the information of the target location. 6 . The base apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one flying apparatus comprises a plurality of flying apparatuses, and when the battery level of each flying apparatus among the plurality of flying apparatuses is equal to or greater than a predetermined level, the target location is determined to be a location with a shortest average distance from a location of each flying apparatus. 7 . The base apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the battery level of one of the at least one flying apparatus is equal to or less than a predetermined level, the target location is determined to be a location near the flying apparatus with the battery level equal to or less than the predetermined level. 8 . The base apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one flying apparatus comprises a plurality of flying apparatuses, and when the battery level of each flying apparatus among the plurality of flying apparatuses is equal to or less than a predetermined level, the target location is determined based on priority set for the plurality of flying apparatuses. 9 . A control method of a base apparatus for docking of at least one flying apparatus, the control method comprising: determining a target location to which the base apparatus is to be moved based on a predetermined condition including a condition related to a battery level of the at least one flying apparatus; and outputting information of the target location. 10 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer program instructions, which when executed by a base apparatus for docking of at least one flying apparatus, cause a computer of the base apparatus to: determine a target location to which the base apparatus is to be moved based on a predetermined condition including a condition related to a battery level of the at least one flying apparatus; and output information of the target location.
