Systems and methods for geo-fencing device communications

This invention is about a drone that can sense a special kind of geo-fencing device. When the drone detects this device, its onboard computer automatically adjusts how it flies, following rules like staying inside or outside specific areas. Importantly, this geo-fencing device is not designed to help the drone land.

Why it matters: Since 2021, advancements in miniaturized, low-power sensors and onboard edge computing have made real-time detection of external geo-fencing indicators and dynamic flight path adjustment more practical for drones. This reduces the need for heavy, dedicated hardware that might have been required five years ago.
