Abstract

An opt-out privacy management system for an unmanned aerial vehicle flight planning application, comprising an internet-based user input device, an internet-based opt-out request management application, and an internet-based do-not-fly database application in communication with an existing, external aircraft safety system, wherein a user can enter a property opt-out request into the user input device, which sends the property opt-out request to the do-not-fly database application, and the do-not-fly database application communicates the property opt-out request to the at least one existing, external aircraft safety system.

Claims

1. An opt-out privacy management system for an unmanned aerial vehicle flight planning application, comprising:

an internet-based user input device;

an internet-based opt-out request management application;

an internet-based do-not-fly database application in communication with at least one existing, external aircraft safety system;

wherein a user can enter a property opt-out request into the user input device;

wherein the user input device sends the property opt-out request to the do-not-fly database application; and

wherein the do-not-fly database application communicates the property opt-out request to the at least one existing, external aircraft safety system, whereby the property opt-out request specifies that a specific piece of property be added to the do-not-fly database application to prevent unmanned aerial vehicles from flying over the specific piece of property.

2. The opt-out privacy management system for an unmanned aerial vehicle flight planning application of claim 1, wherein the at least one existing, external aircraft safety system is an air traffic control center.

3. The opt-out privacy management system for an unmanned aerial vehicle flight planning application of claim 1, wherein the at least one existing, external aircraft safety system is an ADS-B system.

4. The opt-out privacy management system for an unmanned aerial vehicle flight planning application of claim 1, further comprising an aerial information request system in communication with the do-not-fly database application, wherein the property opt-out request added to the do-not-fly database application can be made available to the aerial information request system, whereby the aerial information request system can use the property opt-out request in planning a new flight profile for an unmanned aerial vehicle.
