21. A method for a server to change a route of an aerial drone during flight, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the server, navigational data from the aerial drone, the navigational data indicating that the aerial drone is traveling upon a first route resulting in the aerial drone approaching a first property along the first route; determining, by the server, that the aerial drone is unable to capture image data within the first property; determining, by the server, that the aerial drone is able to capture image data within a second property; and instructing, by the server, the aerial drone to switch traveling upon the first route to a second route to avoid the first property and enter the second property based on the determinations that the aerial drone is unable to capture image data within the first property and that the aerial drone is able to capture image data within the second property. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. An electronic device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions such that the processor and memory are configured to; receive navigational data from a drone, the navigational data indicating that the drone is traveling upon a first route resulting in the drone approaching a first property along the first route; determine that the drone is unable to capture image data corresponding to the first property; determine that the drone is able to capture image data corresponding to a second property; and cause the drone to adjust traveling upon the first route approaching the first property to traveling upon a second route approaching the second property along the second route. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. An electronic device, comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions such that the processor and memory are configured to; determine that a drone is approaching a site; determine site use restrictions for the drone, wherein the determining includes comparing a first set of parameters indicating how the drone intends to use information collected regarding the site and a second set of parameters indicating restrictions to activities of drones within the site; and instruct the drone to enter the site based on the determination of the site use restrictions. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A method, comprising:
-
determining, by a server, that a drone is approaching a site; determining, by the server, a first set of parameters indicating how the drone intends to use information collected while it is within the first site or approaching the site; determining, by the server, a second set of parameters indicating restrictions to activities of drones within the site; determining, by the server, behavior of the drone within the site based on the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters; and instructing the drone to comply with the determined behavior while it is within the site or approaching the site. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A drone, comprising:
-
a camera; one or more processors; memory storing instructions, wherein the one or more processor are configured to execute the instructions such that the one or more processors and memory are configured to; determine that the drone is approaching a first property along a first route that the drone is traveling upon; provide navigational data to a server, the navigational data indicating that the drone is approaching the first property along the first route; receive navigational adjustment data indicating that the drone is to switch from traveling upon the first route to a second route avoiding the first property based upon the drone being unable to provide image data corresponding to the first property to navigate along the first route; generate image data corresponding to the second property using the camera; and navigate along the second route through the second property based on the image data corresponding to the second property. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50)
