Flight Management and Control for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- detection/monitoring logic to facilitate one or more sensors to detect an exclusion zone, wherein the exclusion zone includes a no-fly zone surrounding an entity including one or more of a real property, a personal property, and an individual;
reception/verification logic to receive a signal from a broadcast beacon associated with the exclusion zone, wherein the signal includes a warning against entering the exclusion zone based a policy; and
control/execution logic to automatically prevent the apparatus from entering the exclusion zone, wherein the control/execution logic to automatically perform at least one of landing the apparatus in a fly zone or pulling or turning the apparatus away from the exclusion zone.

Abstract
A mechanism is described for facilitating flight management and control for unmanned aerial vehicles according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating one or more sensors to detect an exclusion zone, wherein the exclusion zone includes a no-fly zone surrounding an entity including at least one of a real property, a personal property, and an individual; receiving a signal from a broadcast beacon associated with the exclusion zone, wherein the signal includes a warning against entering the exclusion zone based a policy; and automatically preventing a computing device from entering the exclusion zone, wherein preventing includes automatically performing at least one of landing the computing device in a fly zone or pulling or turning the computing device away from the exclusion zone.
