  1. Team 01 : QuadSquadPatent Liability Analysis Camille Chang the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  2. Abstract • Android controlled quadcopter • Bluetooth connection (~300 foot range) • GPS, compass, ultrasonic, battery monitor • Brushless DC motors with speed controllers • PWM input flight controller board for stabilization • Waypoint navigation & auto take-off/land the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  3. the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  4. Project-Specific Success Criteria An ability to … • determine the position of the quadcopter using GPS • control the copter using an Android device over a Bluetooth interface • automatically take-off and land • fly-by-waypoint using GPS coordinates • monitor the state of battery charge and relay back to user the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  5. Automatic Landing System • US 5716032 • File: April 22, 1996 • An automatic landing system for guiding unmanned aerial vehicle along a predetermined path to a predetermined point on the ground the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  6. Automatic Landing System • With a press of a button on the Android device, landing procedure begins • Not Infringement • No predetermined point on the ground • Do not use imaging sensor or landing zone to help land vehicle (using proximity sensor) the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  7. Waypoint Navigation • US 7158877 • Filed: November 25, 2003 • Remote control of an unmanned aerial vehicle from a control station by means of a wireless command link • Controlled in an autonomous mode • Controlled in a manual mode the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  8. Waypoint Navigation • Autonomous Mode • Coordinate from Android application gets sent to microcontroller, and quadcopter follows the path • Manual Mode • Quadcopter can be controlled through the Android application • Infringement • Obtain license or pay royalty fee the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  9. Flying Apparatus • US 20100243794 • Filed: May 29, 2009 • Flying apparatus that includes a housing of two or more rotors • Rotors are arranged to rotate about substantially parallel axes • Rotors located equal distance apart • Frame is in the form of a square shape • Controlled remotely via remote control means the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  10. Flying Apparatus • Flying apparatus housing four propellers • Increase the speed of the motors for liftoff • In the form of quadcopter (4 propellers in “plus” configuration) • Not Infringement: • Flying apparatus claimed houses rotors not propellers the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  11. Google Maps • US 7894984B2 • Filed: April 23, 2010 • Digital Mapping System • A method of displaying a map • Receive a set of map tiles from a map tile server • Assemble the received map tiles into a tile grid • Aligning the tile grid relative to a clipping shape the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University

  12. Google Maps • Using Google Maps API • Google Maps API Limits: • 100,000 direction requests per day • 100,000 geocoding requests per day • Over limit -> Obtain a license or pay fee the ECE quadcopter senior design project @ Purdue University
