Specification

Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a drone and particularly to an over the air surveillance and security system.
Description of Related Art
[002] Personal safety, particularly in public spaces, has been a long-standing concern across the globe. Over the years, various personal safety measures have been developed to address this issue. These include mobile safety applications that allow users to send Save Our Soul (SOS) alerts, real-time location sharing, and emergency contact notifications. Additionally, personal safety devices such as alarms, pepper sprays, and wearable safety gadgets have been introduced to empower individuals to protect themselves in threatening situations.
[003] Mobile applications like bSafe, SafeTrek, and Noonlight offer emergency features, enabling users to alert authorities or trusted contacts when they feel unsafe. Similarly, wearable devices like smart jewelry and wristbands equipped with panic buttons and GPS tracking provide discreet ways to seek help during emergencies. Other solutions, such as community safety platforms like Nextdoor's "Neighbors" feature, facilitate the reporting of incidents and request assistance from nearby members.
[004] Moreover, public safety initiatives, including the installation of emergency call boxes and increased police patrols, have been implemented in various cities to enhance safety in public spaces. Despite these efforts, many existing solutions have limitations. Several existing solutions often rely on individual action, which places the burden of safety on the user. Additionally, issues such as limited accessibility, privacy concerns, and inadequate law enforcement integration have hindered the effectiveness of these solutions in fully addressing safety needs of the individuals.
[005] Cultural and social barriers also play a significant role in the effectiveness of safety measures, as societal attitudes towards gender-based violence and stigma can prevent individuals from seeking help. Consequently, there remains a need for more comprehensive and integrated approaches to safety of the individuals that can address both immediate threats and the underlying systemic issues.
[006] There is thus a need for an improved and surveillance and security system that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the flying module 204 may be configured to activate the electronic speed controller 110 to initiate a power delivery to the motors 108a-108d, so that the motors 108a-108d may actuate the propellers 106a-106d. Further, the flying module 204 may be configured to actuate the flight controller 120 to initiate the flight of the unmanned air vehicle 102 from the source location to the destination location on the mapped route.
[0075] As the unmanned air vehicle 102 may arrive at the destination location, the flying module 204 may transmit a surveillance signal to the data capturing module 206.
[0076] The data capturing module 206 may be activated upon receipt of the surveillance signal from the flying module 204. The data capturing module 206 may be configured to enable the camera 112 for capturing the visuals of the person of interest at the destination location. Further, the data capturing module 206 may be configured to enable the camera 112 to actively track the person of interest at the destination location.
[0077] In another embodiment of the present invention, the data capturing module 206 may further be configured to transmit the captured visuals of the person of interest along with an address tag of the destination location to the law enforcement bodies. After capturing/recording the person of interest, and sharing with the law enforcement bodies, the data capturing module 206 may transmit an alert signal to the alert module 208.
[0078] The alert module 208 may be activated upon receipt of the alert signal from the alert module 208. In an embodiment of the present invention, the alert module 208 may be configured to actuate the relay 114 for activating the siren 116 when the unmanned air vehicle 102 arrives at the destination location. The siren 116 activated by actuation of the relay 114 may emit sound waves to audibly alert the person of interest and the persons in the proximity of the person of interest to intervene and help the person of interest in the distressed times.
[0079] FIG. 3 depicts a flowchart of a method 300 for conducting an over the air surveillance and security using the unmanned air vehicle 102, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0080] At step 302, the system 100 may enable the unmanned air vehicle 102 to receive the Save Our Soul (SOS) data packet from the user device 124. The Save Our Soul (SOS) data packet comprises a destination location of the person of interest.
[0081] At step 304, the system 100 may enable the unmanned air vehicle 102 to map the route from the source location to the destination location.
[0082] At step 306, the system 100 may enable the unmanned air vehicle 102 to activate the electronic speed controller 110 to initiate the power delivery to the motors 108a-108d. Further, the motors 108a-108d are adapted to actuate the propellers 106a-106d.
[0083] At step 308, the system 100 may enable the unmanned air vehicle 102 to actuate the flight controller 120 to initiate the flight of the unmanned air vehicle 102 from the source location to the destination location on the mapped route.
[0084] At step 310, the system 100 may enable the unmanned air vehicle 102 to enable the camera 112 to capture the visuals of the person of interest at the destination location.
[0085] At step 312, the system 100 may analyze the captured visuals of the person of interest.
[0086] At step 314, the system 100 may detect the emergency and a sense of distress from the analyzed visuals of the person of interest. If the emergency or a sense of distress may be detected in the analyzed visuals, then the method 300 may proceed to a step 316. Else, the method 300 may revert to the step 310.
[0087] At step 316, the system 100 may enable the communication unit 126 to transmit the captured visuals of the person of interest to the law enforcement bodies.
[0088] At step 318, the system 100 may enable the unmanned air vehicle 102 to actuate the relay 114 for activating the siren 116 when the emergency may be detected in the visuals of the person of interest.
[0089] While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and various embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiments, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the scope of the appended claims.
[0090] This written description uses examples to disclose the invention, including the best mode, and also to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the invention, including making and using any devices or systems and performing any incorporated methods. The patentable scope of the invention is defined in the claims and may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other examples are intended to be within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements within substantial differences from the literal languages of the claims. , Claims:CLAIMS
