1. A method for regulating the use of a given site comprising:
- establishing outer site boundaries with a geo-fence;
receiving a programmable drone at the outer site boundary;
negotiating site use restrictions for the programmable drone, wherein said negotiating comprises an investigation and response process to permit the programmable drone site access and use according to a set of configured parameters based upon results of the investigation and response process; and
issuing a permitted access and use verdict to the programmable drone.

Abstract
A method to provide negotiation control to data such that a person or entity can negotiate the use of data gathered beyond what is needed for a particular use by a third party transaction. The method also provides negotiation for the control and operation of autonomous vehicles such as drones operating in non-public space.

6. A method for directing a programmable drone comprising:
-
directing a programmable drone to a predetermined target action; encountering a foreign zone or object which interferes with the predetermined target action of the programmable drone; negotiating responsive action for the programmable drone, wherein said negotiating comprises an investigation and response process with the foreign zone or object according to a set of configured parameters; and modifying the conduct of target action based upon the results of said negotiating. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A system for programmable drone management comprising:
-
a programmable drone; a site with an outer boundary established by a geo-fence and supported by a site server; a negotiation interface module, wherein the negotiation interface module enables the programmable drone and the site server to initiate an investigation and response process upon the programmable drone reaching the outer boundary of the site to reconcile the purpose of the programmable drone with respect to the area within the outer boundary of the site using configured parameters for the programmable drone and the site; and a remediation module, wherein the remediation module enables the programmable drone and the site to execute the results of the reconciliation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for programmable drone management comprising:
-
a first programmable drone; a second programmable drone; a negotiation interface module, wherein the negotiation interface module enables the first and second programmable drones to initiate an investigation and response process upon the drones establishing a communicative proximity with one another to reconcile the target actions of each programmable drone using configured parameters for the programmable drones; and a remediation module, wherein the remediation module enables the programmable drones to execute the results of the reconciliation. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
