Systems and methods for providing environment information using an unmanned vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for providing, to a user, navigation directions to a destination at a destination location, the system comprising:
- a device worn around a neck of the user and configured to receive an identification of the destination from the user, search for the destination location, and communicate, to an unmanned vehicle, the identification of the destination when the device is unable to determine the destination location; and
the unmanned vehicle for determining the destination location when the device is unable to determine the destination location, the unmanned vehicle having a camera configured to detect image data, and being configured to;
determine an information collecting location,automatically move to the information collecting location,detect the image data at the information collecting location,determine whether the destination is detected from the image data at the information collecting location,determine the destination location when the destination is detected from the image data at the information collecting location, andcommunicate, to the device, the destination location,wherein the device is further configured to determine and output the navigation directions to guide the user from a current location of the user to the destination location.

Abstract
A system for providing, to a user, navigation directions to a point of interest. The system includes a device having an output unit configured to output the navigation directions to the point of interest. The device is configured to communicate, to an unmanned vehicle, a point of interest identification. The system also includes the unmanned vehicle having a camera configured to detect image data. The unmanned vehicle is configured to determine whether the point of interest identification is detected from the image data. The unmanned vehicle is also configured to determine a point of interest location when the point of interest identification is detected from the image data. The unmanned vehicle is also configured to determine point of interest navigation data based on the point of interest location. The unmanned vehicle is also configured to communicate, to the device, the point of interest navigation data.

9. A device for providing, to a user, navigation directions to a destination at a destination location, the device comprising:
-
an input unit configured to receive a destination identification associated with the destination; a device camera configured to detect image data; a transceiver configured to communicate with an unmanned vehicle; a device control unit configured to; determine whether the destination is detected from the image data, communicate, to the unmanned vehicle, the destination identification when the destination is not detected from the image data, and receive, from the unmanned vehicle, the destination location, the unmanned vehicle configured to determine an information collecting location, automatically move to the information collecting location, and determine the destination location based on detected image data at the information collecting location; and an output unit configured to output the navigation directions to the destination based on the destination location received from the unmanned vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A method for providing, to a user, navigation directions to a destination at a destination location, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a device worn around a neck of the user, an identification of the destination from the user; searching, by the device, for the destination location; communicating, by a device to an unmanned vehicle, the identification of the destination when the device is unable to determine the destination location; determining, by the unmanned vehicle, an information collecting location; detecting, by the unmanned vehicle, image data at the information collecting location; determining, by the unmanned vehicle, whether the destination is detected from the image data at the information collecting location; determining, by the unmanned vehicle, the destination location when the destination is detected from the image data at the information collecting location; communicating, by the unmanned vehicle to the device, the destination location; and outputting, by the device, the navigation directions to the destination based on the destination location received from the unmanned vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
