ION SPRAYING APPARATUS, ION SPRAYING SYSTEM, AND ION SPRAYING METHOD
First Claim
1. An ion spraying apparatus comprising:
- a receiver that receives spraying target information indicating a spray target;
a spraying target detector that detects the spray target;
a spray controller that has the ion spraying apparatus move toward the detected spray target and performs ion-spraying when a distance between the spray target and the ion spraying apparatus is within a first threshold value; and
a flight controller that controls a flight of the ion spraying apparatus.

Abstract
A communication unit receives spraying target information indicating a spray target. A spraying target detector detects the spray target indicated in the spraying target information in space. A spray control unit is a unit that performs ion-spraying processing on the spray target at a predetermined frequency. In the ion-spraying processing, the spray control unit determines a moving direction of an ion spraying apparatus from a current location to the detected spray target, and sprays ions on the spray target when a distance between the spray target and the ion spraying apparatus is within a first threshold value. A flight control unit controls a flight of the ion spraying apparatus in the moving direction.

5. An ion spraying system comprising:
-
an ion spraying apparatus; and a control apparatus, wherein the control apparatus comprises; a recognition unit that recognizes objects contacted by a person; a measurement unit that measures a number of contacts made by the person for each of the recognized objects; a spraying target determination unit that determines a spray target that is an object on which the ion spraying apparatus performs ion-spraying from among the recognized objects based on the measured number of contacts, and generates spraying target information that specifies the spray target; and a first communication unit that sends the spraying target information to the ion spraying apparatus, wherein the ion spraying apparatus comprises; a second communication unit that receives the spraying target information from the control apparatus; a spraying target detector that detects the spray target indicated in the spraying target information; a spray control unit that determines a moving direction of the ion spraying apparatus based on location information on the detected spray target, and performs ion-spraying when a distance between the spray target and the ion spraying apparatus is within a first threshold value; and a flight control unit that controls a flight of the ion spraying apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. An ion spraying method comprising:
-
receiving spraying target information that specifies a spray target; detecting location information on the spray target indicated in the spraying target information; determining a moving direction of an ion spraying apparatus to the detected spray target based on the location information on the detected spray target; controlling a flight of the ion spraying apparatus; and spraying ions on the spray target when a distance between the spray target and the ion spraying apparatus is within a first threshold value.
