Patent attributes
An aerial drone system configured to serve as personal drone assistance is disclosed. The drone assistant is configured to follow the user and provide (1) audiovisual output including video, audio, and navigation, (2) environmental comfort including shade, light, misters for the benefit of the user, as well as (3) privacy and security. To provide audiovisual output, the drone is configured to track the user and maintain a constant height and distance relative to the user, preferably a few feet away in front of the user. To provide environmental comfort including shade, for example, the drone is configured to automatically maintain a position between the user and the sun, thus causing a shadow to be continually cast on the user. This shading is enhanced by specialized louvres and screens configured to prevent any direct sunlight from directly impinging on the user.
