KDDI had six patents in space economy during Q1 2024. KDDI Corp’s patents focus on a flight management server that assesses the need to switch communication between terrestrial and satellite communication during flight, determines detection ranges for reporting other flying vehicles, and controls communication switching based on the presence of objects within a detection range. The server also acquires information on scheduled flight paths and identifies the position of the flying vehicle during communication switching processes.

Application: Information processing apparatus and information processing method (Patent ID: US20240105061A1)
The patent filed by KDDI Corp. describes a flight management server with an assessment unit that determines the need to switch communication between terrestrial and satellite during flight for a flying vehicle. The determination unit establishes a detection range for reporting the presence of a second flying vehicle in relation to the first one, with the range being larger when a communication switch is required compared to when it is not.
The information processing apparatus includes components such as an assessment unit, determination unit, and reporting unit to assess the need for communication switching based on signal strength and position of the flying vehicle. Additionally, the apparatus can transmit information to users and control communication switching based on predefined criteria. The method executed by a processor involves assessing the communication switch requirement and determining a detection range for reporting the presence of other flying vehicles, with the range being adjusted based on the assessment outcome.
