Abstract

Provided are an apparatus and method for playing a video based on real-time data. The apparatus includes a ground control unit which receives flight data including position information, speed information, and attitude information of an aircraft from at least one aircraft and a video playing unit which receives the flight data from the ground control unit and displays the flight data on a map screen.

Claims

1. An apparatus for playing a video based on real-time data, comprising:

a ground control unit configured to receive flight data including position information, speed information, and attitude information of an aircraft from at least one aircraft; and

a video playing unit comprising a receiver module configured to receive the flight data; and

a processing module configured to perform a collision analysis using the flight data and a display module configured to display the flight data on a map screen,

wherein the processing module calculates a flight path of the aircraft using the position information, the speed information, and the attitude information of the aircrafts,

and compares the flight path to previously stored geographic feature data based on flight path information, and then analyzes a possibility of collision with the geographic features,

and compares the flight path of the aircraft to a flight path of another aircraft calculated using the position information, the speed information, and the attitude information of another aircraft, and then analyzes a possibility of collision with another aircraft;

and the display module displays the aircraft on a 3-dimensional map space generated using a previously stored 3-dimensional model of the aircraft based on the position information, the speed information, and the attitude information of the aircraft, and displays information such as a position in which a collision can occur, a possibility of collision based on a collision analysis result.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processing module classifies the flight data into position information, speed information, and attitude information of the aircraft, and information of other aircraft.

3. A method for playing a video based on real-time data, comprising:

receiving flight data including position information, speed information, and attitude information of an aircraft from at least one aircraft by a ground control unit;

receiving the flight data from the ground control unit by a receiver module; and

calculating a flight path of the aircraft using the position information, the speed information and the attitude information of the aircrafts by a processing module;

comparing the flight path to previously stored geographic feature data based on flight path information, and then analyzes a possibility of collision with the geographic features by the processing module;

comparing the flight path of the aircraft to a flight path of another aircraft calculated using position information, speed information, and attitude information of another aircraft, and then analyzes a possibility of collision with another aircraft by the processing module;

and displaying the aircraft on a 3-dimensional map space generated using a previously stored 3-dimensional model of the aircraft based on the position information, the speed information, and the attitude information of the aircraft, and displays information such as a position in which a collision can occur, a possibility of collision based on a collision analysis result by a display module.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the performing of the collision analysis comprises:

classifying the flight data into position information, speed information, the attitude information of the aircraft, and information of other aircraft; and

calculating a flight path of the aircraft using the position information, the speed information, and the attitude information of the aircraft, comparing the flight path to previously stored geographic feature data, and performing a collision analysis.
