Vehicle system and method for providing services
First Claim
1. A method for flying an aircraft, comprising:
- receiving a service request associated with a region;
selecting the aircraft, located at an initial location, based on the region and the initial location;
determining a flight plan for flying the aircraft to the region;
flying the aircraft to the region, comprising;
at a sensor of the aircraft, sampling a first set of flight data; and
at a processor of the aircraft, autonomously controlling the aircraft to fly based on the flight plan and the set of flight data;
controlling the aircraft to perform a search of the region;
based on the search, determining a target location of a human within the region;
after determining the target location, determining a landing location; and
landing the aircraft at the landing location, comprising;
sampling a set of landing location data;
determining a safety status of the landing location based on the set of landing location data;
at the sensor, sampling a second set of flight data; and
in response to determining the safety status, at the processor, autonomously controlling the aircraft to land at the landing location based on the second set of flight data.

Abstract
A method for providing medical services to a patient, including: receiving a medical service request associated with a patient location; selecting an aircraft, located at an initial location, from a plurality of aircraft based on the patient location and the initial location; determining a flight plan for flying the aircraft to a region containing the patient location; at a sensor of the aircraft, sampling a first set of flight data; at a processor of the aircraft, autonomously controlling the aircraft to fly based on the flight plan and the set of flight data; selecting a landing location within the region; and landing the aircraft at the landing location, including: sampling a set of landing location data; determining a safety status of the landing location based on the set of landing location data; outputting a landing warning observable at the landing location; at the sensor, sampling a second set of flight data; and in response to determining the safety status and outputting the landing warning, autonomously controlling the aircraft to land at the landing location based on the second set of flight data.

15. A method for flying an aircraft, comprising:
-
receiving a service request associated with a first region; selecting the aircraft, located at an initial location, from a plurality of aircraft based on the first region and the initial location; at the aircraft, receiving the human; determining a flight plan for flying the aircraft to a destination region; and at the aircraft, transporting the human to the destination region, comprising; at a sensor of the aircraft, sampling a first set of flight data; at a processor of the aircraft, autonomously controlling the aircraft to fly to the destination region based on the flight plan and the first set of flight data, wherein the aircraft contains the human during flight; determining a landing location within the destination region; sampling a set of landing location data; determining a safety status of the landing location based on the set of landing location data; at the sensor, sampling a second set of flight data; and in response to determining the safety status, at the processor, autonomously controlling the aircraft to land at the landing location based on the second set of flight data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
