This application is a National Stage Entry of PCT/JP2017/014085 filed on Apr. 4, 2017, which claims priority from Japanese Patent Application 2016-150570 filed on Jul. 29, 2016, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference, in their entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a moving object operation system, an operation signal transmission system, a moving object operation method, a program, and a recording medium.

BACKGROUND ART

Among unmanned flight vehicles operated by remote control, drones have been attempted to be used for various services in recent years. In addition, drones have become easy to obtain as household toys. A so-called proportional type controller is used for the operation of the drone, and the motor of the drone is controlled by moving two sticks mounted on the controller, thereby controlling the movement of the drone (Non Patent Literature 1). However, the operation of the drone is extremely difficult. In fact, sufficient practice must be carried out in order to safely operate the drone.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

Hence, the present invention is intended to provide a new system that allows an easier operation of an unmanned flight vehicle such as a drone operated by remote control.

Solution to Problem

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a moving object operation system including: a moving object; and an operation signal transmitter for the moving object. The moving object includes a signal receipt unit that receives an operation signal from the operation signal transmitter. The operation signal transmitter includes: an auxiliary tool; a storage unit that contains conversion information; a movement information acquisition unit that acquires auxiliary tool movement information associated with motion of an operator, with the auxiliary tool at a predetermined position as a reference point; a conversion unit that converts the acquired movement information into the operation signal to the moving object based on the conversion information; and a signal transmission unit that transmits the operation signal to the moving object. The conversion information includes auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion and operation signal information for instructing the moving object in how to move, and the auxiliary tool movement information and the operation signal information are associated with each other. The auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion is auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion imagining movement of the moving object, with the auxiliary tool at a predetermined position as a reference point.

The present invention also provides an operation signal transmission system for a moving object, including: an auxiliary tool; a storage unit that contains conversion information; a movement information acquisition unit that acquires auxiliary tool movement information associated with motion of an operator, with the auxiliary tool at a predetermined position as a reference point; a conversion unit that converts the acquired movement information into an operation signal to a moving object based on the conversion information; and a signal transmission unit that transmits the operation signal to the moving object. The conversion information includes auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion, moving object movement information, and operation signal information for instructing the moving object in how to move, and the auxiliary tool movement information, the moving object movement information, and the operation signal information are associated with one another. The auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion is auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion imagining movement of the moving object, with the auxiliary tool at a predetermined position as a reference point.

The present invention also provides a moving object operation method using a moving object and the operation signal transmission system according to the present invention, including the steps of: acquiring auxiliary tool movement information associated with motion of an operator, with the auxiliary tool at a predetermined position as a reference point, by the system; converting the acquired movement information into the operation signal to the moving object based on the conversion information by the system; transmitting the operation signal to the moving object by the system; and receiving the transmitted operation signal by the moving object. The conversion information includes auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion and operation signal information for instructing the moving object in how to move, and the auxiliary tool movement information and the operation signal information are associated with each other. The auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion is auxiliary tool movement information associated with human motion imagining movement of the moving object, with the auxiliary tool at a predetermined position as a reference point.

The present invention also provides a program that can execute the moving object operation method of the present invention on a computer.

The present invention also provides a computer-readable recording medium recorded with the program of the present invention.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

According to the present invention, an easier operation of a moving object can be achieved.
