Claim 9:
10. A method for controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:
receiving, by a receiver, departure point information and destination information of a vehicle;
generating, by a controller, a flight route corresponding to a travel route from a departure point to a destination of the vehicle based on at least one of a sensing range of a sensor mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle, a flight available distance based on a fuel amount, and a communication available distance of a communication device mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle; and
operating, by the controller, the unmanned aerial vehicle to follow the generated flight route,
wherein the generating of the flight route includes:
detecting a center point on a straight line connecting the departure point and the destination with each other;
detecting a first point on the travel route located farthest from the center point; and
detecting a sensing region having a straight line connecting the center point and the first point with each other as a radius.
