Abstract

A security system is provided. An unmanned flying vehicle is remotely controlled to collect an environment information of a target environment, and whether a prompt signal is outputted is determined according to an environment variation obtained by comparing the environment information with a reference environmental information.

Claims

1. A security system, comprising:

an unmanned flying vehicle; and

a control apparatus wirelessly communicating with the unmanned flying vehicle to remotely control the unmanned flying vehicle to collect an environment information of a target environment, and comparing the environment information with a reference environment information, and determining whether a prompt signal is outputted according to an environment variation.

2. The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the environment information comprises a spatial location distribution of an object of the target environment, a personnel information of the target environment, and a temperature and a gas composition of the target environment.

3. The security system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control apparatus determines whether a variation percentage of the spatial location of the object of the target environment exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and if the variation percentage of the spatial location of the object of the target environment exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the prompt signal is outputted.

4. The security system as claimed in claim 3, wherein if the variation percentage of the spatial location of the object of the target environment exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the control apparatus further remotely controls the unmanned flying vehicle to collect an image information of the object having the variation in the spatial location of the target environment, and control the unmanned flying vehicle to transmit back the image information.

5. The security system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the reference environment information comprises an identification reference information of a number of predetermined personnel, and the control apparatus compares the personnel information of the target environment to the identification reference information of the predetermined personnel in order to determine whether the personnel of the target environment are of the predetermined personnel, and if the personnel of the target environment is not of the predetermined personnel, the prompt signal is outputted.

6. The security system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control apparatus determines whether the temperature of the target environment exceeds a predetermined threshold temperature, and if the temperature of the target environment exceeds the predetermined threshold temperature, the prompt signal is outputted.

7. The security system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control apparatus determines whether the concentration of a certain gas of the target environment exceeds a predetermined concentration, and if the concentration of the certain gas of the target environment exceeds the predetermined concentration, the prompt signal is outputted.

8. The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the unmanned flying vehicle comprises:

a communication unit; and

a control unit communicating with the control apparatus through the communication unit, and controlled by the control apparatus to control the unmanned flying vehicle to collect the environment information.

9. The security system as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:

a spatial detection unit coupled to the control unit and controlled by the control unit to detect the spatial location distribution of the object of the target environment.

10. The security system as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:

a facial recognition unit, coupled to the control unit and controlled by the control unit to recognize a face of the personnel of the target environment.

11. The security system as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:

a photograph unit coupled to the control unit and being controlled by the control unit to photograph the target environment.

12. The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the reference environment information is a previous environment information of the target environment collected by the unmanned flying vehicle.

13. The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control apparatus further plans a flight path and a flight schedule according to to the environment information and the reference environment information

14. The security system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control apparatus further receives a power information of the unmanned flying vehicle from the unmanned flying vehicle, and remotely controls the unmanned flying vehicle to fly to a charging location for charging according to the power information.
