The present invention relates to a method for replacing a signal controlling an actuator in a remote-controlled flying device with another signal. A flight controller supplies control signals to a safety device, and the signal to be replaced may be a signal to be transmitted by the safety device to a speed controller of at least one motor, or to a servo unit controlling the same, or the signal to be replaced may be a signal to be transmitted from the safety device to a servo unit controlling legs, a camera rack, a camera, a stabilizing system or an electric motor of the flying device. A replacement signal is a signal stored in a memory of the safety device. The replacement signal may be capable of controlling the speed controller directly or via the servo unit, in such a way that power transmission to said motor/motors is stopped or reduced, and this motor is/these motors are switched off or its/their rotation is decelerated, or the replacement signal may be capable of controlling said servo unit in such a way that said actuator is moved to a second position. The replacement signal may be a signal to be transmitted from a receiver past a flight controller, capable of controlling the speed controller or servo unit of the motor in such a way that power transmission to the motor is stopped or reduced, or to control said actuator in such a way that this actuator is moved to another position.

A primary user terminal is interfaced with the drone so as to constitute a local network of the infrastructure type, where the drone is configured as an access point (AP) and the primary user terminal is configured as a mobile station. The primary user terminal comprises an adaptive software program able i) to generate piloting and control instructions to be transmitted to the drone, and ii) to establish a connection to the local network and to register the primary user terminal into a registration table of the drone. The network further comprises at least one secondary user terminal with an applicative software program adapted to establish a connection to the local network and to register the secondary user terminal into the registration table of the drone with a hierarchized management of the rights with respect to the primary terminal.

A communication device includes a first terminal unit connected to an actuator device having a sensor. Transmission of a steering signal transmitted from a steering wireless device to the actuator device, and transmission of detected signal detected by the sensor in the actuator device are conducted via the first terminal unit. The communication device further includes a control unit. The control unit conducts processing to generate a connection error signal representing that the actuator device are not connected on the basis of a result of determination whether the detected signal is acquired from the actuator device via the first terminal unit, and transmit the connection error signal to the steering wireless device side.

The parameter setting device has a parameter data input unit and a setting control unit which stores parameter data in an empty channel in the steering signal received from the transmitter and sends it to the transmitter. The parameter setting device and the transmitter are connected, and the parameter data is input to the parameter setting device. The parameter setting device stores the parameter data in the empty channel of the steering signal received from the transmitter and sends it back to the transmitter. The transmitter sends its steering signal to the body to be steered. The parameter data of the specific operation object mounted on the object to be steered can be reliably changed while continuing the operation of the operation object mounted on the object to be steered.

A robot 150 is placed on a touch panel. When touch sensor action sections 156a to 156c provided on a bottom face 150b of the robot act on a touch pad, an information processing device shows a face image in a rectangular area 16 of a display screen 14 of the touch panel. The rectangular area 16 corresponds to the bottom face of the robot. The face image is grabbed from the bottom face 150b of the robot 150 and appears in a face section 152. Further, the brightness of pixels in areas 18a and 18b of the display screen 14 is changed. The areas 18a and 18b correspond to optical sensors 160a and 160b provided on the bottom face 150b of the robot. The robot 150 detects the change in question, converting the change into a motion of an internal actuator, sound output, light emission, and so on in accordance with predetermined rules.
