The granted patent (Publication Number: US11887489B2) discloses a storage facilities management device that utilizes a processor to manage the storage of flight devices in storage sheds. The device receives instruction information from a flight management device regarding takeoff and landing times for a flight device, acquires circumstantial information about the storage shed, and determines if the flight device can fly over the storage shed based on the circumstances. It then stores an association between the flight device and the storage shed and transmits the determination result to the flight management device to send appropriate instructions to the flight device.

Furthermore, the storage facilities management device can determine the suitability of a storage shed for a flight device at the landing time, handle secondary instruction information, transmit position and landing-period information, and manage weather and obstacle information to ensure safe landing conditions. Additionally, the device can interact with a storage control device to send door-open instructions before landing, receive door-open-completion information to trigger landing instructions, and send door-close instructions upon completion of the flight device's operation. This innovative system aims to streamline the storage and management of flight devices in storage sheds, enhancing operational efficiency and safety protocols in the aviation industry.
