UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES AND RELATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. An apparatus for use with an unmanned vehicle, comprising:
- a processor to determine whether a first location of an unmanned vehicle and a second location of a virtual event is within a threshold distance; and
a game experience controller to;
control the unmanned vehicle based on a first command associated with a non-augmented state of the unmanned vehicle in response to the first location of the unmanned vehicle and the second location of the virtual event being outside of the threshold distance; and
in response to the first location of the unmanned vehicle and the second location of the virtual event being within the threshold distance, control the unmanned vehicle based on a second command associated with an augmented state of the unmanned vehicle to simulate the unmanned vehicle being affected by the virtual event.

Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles and related methods and systems are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a processor to determine whether a first location of an unmanned vehicle and a second location of a virtual event is within a threshold distance; and a game experience controller to: control the unmanned vehicle based on a first command associated with a non-augmented state of the unmanned vehicle in response to the first location of the unmanned vehicle and the second location of the virtual event being outside of the threshold distance; and in response to the first location of the unmanned vehicle and the second location of the virtual event being within the threshold distance, control the unmanned vehicle based on a second command associated with an augmented state of the unmanned vehicle to simulate the unmanned vehicle being affected by the virtual event.

8. A method of using an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:
-
controlling, by executing an instruction with at least one processor, an unmanned vehicle based on a first command; identifying, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, a first location of a virtual event; identifying, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, a second location of the unmanned vehicle; and in response to the first and second locations being within a threshold distance, controlling, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, the unmanned vehicle based on a second command to simulate the unmanned vehicle being affected by the virtual event. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A tangible computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to, at least:
-
control an unmanned vehicle based on a first command; identify a first location of a virtual event; identify a second location of the unmanned vehicle; and in response to the first and second locations being within a threshold distance, control the unmanned vehicle based on a second command to simulate the unmanned vehicle being affected by the virtual event. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
