Implementing a restricted-operation region for unmanned vehicles
First Claim
1. An information processing system for implementing a restricted-operation region, the information processing system comprising:
- a memory;
a first processor device communicatively coupled to the memory;
a computer program instruction development module communicatively coupled to the memory and the first processor device, wherein the computer program instruction development module is configured to develop a set of computer readable program instructions configured such that, based at least in part on being downloaded by a second processor device of a vehicle, the set of computer readable program instructions modify operation of the vehicle in a manner that enables the second processor device of the vehicle to interpret control instructions and process data that implement an operation policy of the restricted-operation region by controlling at least one function of the vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle attempting to operate within the restricted-operation region;
wherein the second processor device of the vehicle cannot interpret the control instructions and process the data without having downloaded the set of computer readable program instructions; and
a first transmitter device configured to transmit said set of computer readable program instructions to said vehicle;
wherein said set of computer readable program instructions are further configured to, based at least in part on a determination that the vehicle is attempting to operate within the restricted operation region, be downloaded by the second processor of the vehicle to modify operation of the vehicle in a manner that enables the second processor device of the vehicle to interpret control instructions and process data that implement the operation policy of the restricted-operation region.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a system for implementing a restricted-operation region. The system includes an instruction development module configured to be utilized in the development of a set of instructions that implement an operation policy of the restricted-operation region. The set of instructions is configured to, when interpreted, implement the operation policy by controlling at least one function of a vehicle that attempts to operate within the restricted-operation region. The system further includes a first transmitter configured to transmit the set of instructions to the vehicle, wherein a processor of the vehicle is configured to interpret the set of instructions based at least in part on a determination that the vehicle is attempting to operate within the restricted-operation region.

12. A computer program product for implementing a restricted-operation region, the computer program product comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being readable by a first processor circuit to cause the first processor circuit to perform a method comprising; initiating, by the first processor circuit, a transmission to a vehicle a set of computer readable program instructions configured such that, based at least in part on being downloaded by a second processor circuit of a vehicle, the set of computer readable program instructions modify operation of the vehicle in a manner that enables the second processor circuit of the vehicle to interpret control instructions and process data that implement an operation policy of the restricted-operation region by controlling at least one function of the vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle attempting to operate within the restricted-operation region; wherein the second processor circuit of the vehicle cannot interpret the control instructions and process the data without having downloaded the set of computer readable program instructions; and transmitting said set of computer readable program instructions to said vehicle; wherein said set of computer readable program instructions are further configured to, based at least in part on a determination that the vehicle is attempting to operate within the restricted operation region, be downloaded by the second processor of the vehicle to modify operation of the vehicle in a manner that enables the second processor circuit of the vehicle to interpret control instructions and process data that implement the operation policy of the restricted-operation region. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
