1. A method for managing flight paths for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by a flight path management system, the method comprising:
- receiving a sequence of controller inputs at a recording device, the received sequence of controller inputs associated with controlling a flight path of the UAV;
storing the sequence of controller inputs in a memory associated with the recording device, the sequence of controller inputs stored in association with the flight path;
receiving a selection of a portion of the flight path at a user interface associated with a playback device, the portion corresponding to a time period within a duration of the flight path;
identifying a section of the sequence of controller inputs corresponding to the time period within the duration of the flight path based on execution of instructions by a processor associated with the playback device; and
outputting a graphical representation of the identified section of the sequence of controller inputs to the playback device in real time over a length of the time period.

Abstract
A flight path management system manages flight paths for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The flight path management system receives a sequence of controller inputs for the UAV, and stores the sequence of controller inputs in a memory. The flight path management system accesses the memory and selects a selected section of the sequence of controller inputs corresponding to a time period. The flight management system outputs the selected section to a playback device in real time over a length of the time period.

13. A system for managing flight paths by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprising:
-
a recording device that receives a sequence of controller inputs associated with controlling a flight path of the UAV; a memory coupled to the recording device that stores the sequence of controller inputs in association with the flight path; and a playback device configured to; access the memory and select an identified section of the sequence of controller inputs corresponding to a time period within a duration of the flight path based on a received selection of a portion of the flight path, the portion corresponding to the time period within a duration of the flight path; and output a graphical representation of the identified section of the sequence of controller inputs to a playback device in real time over a length of the time period. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
