AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for a system to automatically recognize and respond to a drone delivering an item to a specific location. The system uses a unique identifier for the drone and sends a signal to the drone to recognize it as an automatic and conditional response to the delivery of the item. This allows for a more efficient and automated response to the delivery of items by drones. The system can be implemented using hardware, software, or firmware. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a more efficient and automated response to drone deliveries.

Problems solved by technology

The many different computational machines that a high-level programming language specifies are almost unimaginably complex.

Thus, programs written in machine language—which may be tens of millions of machine language instructions long—are incomprehensible.

While assembly languages were initially a great aid to humans controlling the microprocessors to perform work, in time the complexity of the work that needed to be done by the humans outstripped the ability of humans to control the microprocessors using merely assembly languages.
