In today's social media age of live streaming and online celebrity, a solution is needed for a user to take pictures and/or video of themselves from flattering angles and under desired lighting without extending their arm, using a selfie stick or asking a stranger for help. The various embodiments of the invention herein disclose paparazzo systems and methodologies for utilizing drones to get the perfect image (whether it be live streaming, lifecasting, video, vlogging, teleconferencing, or still pictures). In one embodiment, a user (like a social media influencer) can activate a drone, which is detachably coupled to the portable drone home area, to track and take images of the user while providing instruction to the drone as to a desired angle or level of lighting all by voice command.

PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DRONES
20220084136 · 2022-03-17 ·

In recent years, social media has become a mainstay of global communication culture. These platforms have become a proxy for personal communication and conduit for interaction in the real world. So much so, that many have turned to these platforms for dating, friendship and finding similarly minded communities. Unfortunately, there is limited technology for translating this online communication and interaction to the user's physical proximity or real-world circumstance. The various embodiments of the invention herein disclose personal communication drone systems and methodologies for utilizing drones to leverage a user's online persona or profile to communicate personal messages, images or data to a third party. In one embodiment, a user (like a social media influencer) can activate a drone, which is detachably coupled to a portable drone home area and programmed to track the user, to find a new targeted third party and to communicate personal messages, images or data.
