Title:

FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE USING THE POSTURAL CHANGE OF A CONTROLLER, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/034236

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a flight control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using the postural change of a controller, and to a method for operating the flight control system. First, a UAV flight control system according to the present invention comprises: a UAV including a UAV control unit and a second communication unit; and a controller including a posture-measuring unit, a flight control unit, a first communication unit, and a state display unit. Next, a method for operating a UAV flight control system according to the present invention comprises the steps of: using the controller to generate a control command for controlling the flight of the UAV and to transmit the control command to the UAV; and checking for the receipt of the control command previously transmitted by the controller and displaying the receipt-checking information, wherein a further step may be included of using the controller to request flight state information on the UAV, and displaying flight state information received according to the request. Thus, according to the present invention, after the postural change of the controller that the user controls is measured, the user controls the flight of the UAV accordingly, enabling the UAV to be easily controlled and operated, and expanding the fields of application for the UAV, as well as the utility thereof.
