Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Field of Invention

The present invention is directed towards improvements in science and technology applied in the defense of private and public property, and human and animal life, against the ravaging and destructive forces of wild fires caused by lightning, accident, arson and terrorism.

Brief Description of the State of Knowledge in the Art

The US federal government spent more than 3 billion US dollars on wild fire defense this year only to lose record numbers of acreage and homes. These figures relate solely to the US Forest Service costs and do not include figures from federal, state or local firefighting agencies. Over 8 million acres were scorched in 2017, a 50% increase in what is normally burned. Some estimates of the property damage in Northern California fires alone is $3 billion. The fires also killed more than 40 people and destroyed 8000 structures. Governor Brown of California is now asking President Trump for $7.5 billion dollars to rebuild Santa Rosa. However, the real problem is that the conventional fire suppression methods are not working as needed to protect neighborhoods, homes, business and human life from the raging forces of wild fire. More money is being spent and more people are being deployed, but the benefits are not being realized. There is a great need for better methods and apparatus for suppressing wild fires

FIG. 1 provides a table listing the primary conventional methods used for fighting and defending against wild fires and forest fires, alike: aerial water dropping illustrated in FIG. 2A; aerial fire retardant chemical (e.g. Phos-Chek® Fire Retardant) dropping illustrated in FIGS. 2B1, 2B2 and 2B3; physical fire break by bulldozing, to stall the advance of wild fire; physical fire break by pre-burning, to stall the advance of wild fire; and chemical fire break by dropping fire retardant chemical such as Phos-Chek® chemical over land, to stall the advance of wild fire. While these methods are used, the results have not been adequate in most instances where wild fires are raging across land under strong winds.

Recently, the State of California deployed its CAL FIRE™ mobile application for smartphones and other mobile computing devices, to provide users with notifications on where wild fires are burning at a given moment in time, the risks of wild fire in certain regions, ways of preparing for wild fires, and other useful information to help people stay out of harm's way during a wild fire. However, this notification system in its current state does little to help home and business owners to proactively defend their homes and business against raging forces of wild fires in any meaningful way.

Clearly, there is a great need and growing demand for new and improved methods of and apparatus for providing improved defense and protection against wild fires, while overcoming the shortcomings and drawbacks of prior art methods and apparatus.

Wireless System Network for Managing the Supply, Delivery and Spray-Application of Environmentally-Clean Anti-Fire (AF) Liquid on Private and Public Property to Reduce the Risks of Damage and/or Destruction Caused by Wild Fires

FIG. 4 shows the wireless system network of the present invention 1 designed for managing the supply, delivery and spray-application of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid on private and public property to reduce the risks of damage and/or destruction caused by wild fires. As shown, the wireless system network 1 comprises a distribution of system components, namely: GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) liquid spray ground vehicles 2 (e.g. all-terrain vehicles or ATVs) as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, and 10A and 10B, for applying AF chemical liquid spray (e.g. Hartindo AF31 fire inhibitor chemical from Hartindo Chemical, Indonesia) from the ground to ground surfaces, brush, and other forms of organic material; GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spray air-based vehicles 3 as shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 8A, 8B for applying AF chemical liquid spray (e.g. Hartindo AF31 fire inhibitor chemical liquid) from the air to ground surfaces, brush, bushes and other forms of organic material; GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire liquid spraying systems 4 (e.g. including wheel supported, and backpack-carried systems) as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B for applying AF chemical liquid spray (e.g. Hartindo AF31 fire inhibitor chemical liquid) to ground surfaces, brush, bushes, decks, houses, buildings, and other forms of organic material and property surrounding houses; GPS-tracked/GSM-linked anti-fire liquid spraying systems 5 as shown in FIGS. 10A, 10B, 8A, 8B, and 7A, 7B for applying AF chemical liquid spray (e.g. Hartindo AF31 fire inhibitor chemical liquid) to private real property, buildings and surrounding areas; GPS-tracked/GSM-linked liquid spraying systems 6 as shown in FIGS. 10A, 10B, 8A, 8B, and 7A, 7B for applying AF chemical liquid spray (e.g. Hartindo AF31 fire inhibitor chemical liquid) to public real property and buildings and surrounding properties; a GPS-indexed real-property (land) database system 7 for storing the GPS coordinates of the vertices and maps of all land parcels, including private property and building 17 and public property and building 18, situated in every town, county and state in the region over which the system network 1 is used to manage wild fires as they may occur; a cellular phone, GSM, and SMS messaging systems and email servers, collectively 16; and one or more data centers 8 for monitoring and managing GPS-tracking/GSM-linked anti-fire (AF) liquid supply and spray systems, including web servers 9A, application servers 9B and database servers 9C (e.g. RDBMS) operably connected to the TCP/IP infrastructure of the Internet 10, and including a network database 9C1, for monitoring and managing the system and network of GPS-tracking anti-fire liquid spraying systems and various functions supported by the command center 19, including the management of wild fire suppression and the GPS-guided application of anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid over public and private property, as will be described in greater technical detail hereinafter. As shown, each data center 8 also includes an SMS server 9D and an email message server 9E for communicating with registered users on the system network 1 who use a mobile computing device (e.g. an Apple® iPhone or iPad tablet) 11 with the mobile application 12 installed thereon and configured for the purposes described herein. Such communication services will include SMS/text, email and push-notification services known in the mobile communications arts.

As shown in FIG. 4, the GPS-indexed real-property (land) database system 7 will store the GPS coordinates of the vertices and maps of all land parcels contained in every town, county and state of the region over which the system network is deployed and used to manage wild fires as they may occur. Typically, databases and data processing methods, equipment and services known in the GPS mapping art, will be used to construct and maintain such GPS-indexed databases 7 for use by the system network of the present invention, when managing GPS-controlled application of clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray and mist over GPS-specified parcels of land, at any given time and date, under the management of the system network of the present invention. Examples of such GPS-indexed maps of land parcels are reflected by the task report shown in FIG. 16, and examples of GPS-indexed maps are shown in the schematic illustrations depicted in FIGS. 18, 20, 22 and 24.

As shown in FIG. 4, the system network 1 also includes a GPS system 100 for transmitting GPS reference signals transmitted from a constellation of GPS satellites deployed in orbit around the Earth, to GPS transceivers installed aboard each GPS-tracking ground-based or air-based anti-fire (AF) liquid misting/spraying system of the present invention, shown in FIGS. 6A through 10B, as part of the illustrative embodiments. From the GPS signals it receives, each GPS transceiver aboard such AF liquid spraying/misting systems is capable of computing in real-time the GPS location of its host system, in terms of longitude and latitude. In the case of the Empire State Building in NYC, N.Y., its GPS location is specified as: N40° 44.9064′, W073° 59.0735′; and in number only format, as: 40.748440, −73.984559, with the first number indicating latitude, and the second number representing longitude (the minus sign indicates “west”).

As shown in FIG. 4, the system network 1 further includes multi-spectral imaging (MSI) systems and/or hyper-spectral-imaging (HSI) systems 14 for remotely data sensing and gathering data about wild fires and their progress. Such MSI and HSI systems may be space/satellite-based and/or drone-based (supported on an unmanned airborne vehicle or UAV). Drone-based systems can be remotely-controlled by a human operator, or guided under an artificial intelligence (AI) navigation system. Such AI-based navigation systems may be deployed anywhere, provided access is given to such remote navigation system the system network and its various systems. Typically, the flight time will be limited to under 1 hour using currently available battery technology, so there will be a need to provide provisions for recharging the batteries of such drones/UASs in the field, necessitating the presence of human field personnel to support the flight and remote data sensing and mapping missions of each such deployed drone, flying about raging wild fires, in connection with the system network of the present invention.

During each wild fire data sensing and mapping mission, carried out by such UAS, a series of MSI images and HSI images can be captured during a wild fire, and mapped to GPS-specific coordinates, and this mapped data can be transmitted back to the system network for storage, analysis and generation of GPS-specified flight plans for anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray and misting operations carried out using the methods illustrated in FIGS. 17, 18, 19A and 19B seeking to stall and suppress such wild fires, and mitigate risk of damage to property and harm to human and animal life.

FIG. 4A shows a suite of MSI and HSI remote sensing and mapping instruments and technology 14 that is currently being used by the US Geological Survey (USGS) Agency to collect, monitor, analyze, and provide science about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems on Earth. It is an object of the present invention to exploit such instruments and technology when carrying out and practicing the various methods of the present invention disclosed herein. As shown in FIG. 4A, these MSI/HSI remote sensing technologies 14 include: MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite system 14A for generating MODIS imagery subsets from MODIS direct readout data acquired by the USDA Forest Service Remote Sensing Applications Center, to produce satellite fire detection data maps and the like https://fsapps.nwcg.gov/afm/activefiremaps.php; the World View 2 Satellite System 14B manufacture from the Ball Aerospace & Technologies and operated by DigitalGlobe, for providing commercially available panchromatic (B/W) imagery of 0.46 meter resolution, and eight-band multi-spectral imagery with 1.84 meter resolution; Octocopter UAS (e.g. OnyxStar Hyra-12 heavy lifting drone) 14C as shown in FIG. 4B supporting MSI and HSI camera systems for spectral imaging applications, http://www.onyxstar.net and http://www.genidrone.com; and SenseFly eBee SQ UAS 14D for capturing and mapping high-resolution aerial multi-spectral images https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee-sq.html.

Any one or more of these types of remote data sensing and capture instruments, tools and technologies can be integrated into and used by the system network 1 for the purpose of (i) determining GPS-specified flight/navigation plans for GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying and misting aircraft and ground-based vehicle systems, respectively, shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, 8A, 8B, 10A, 10B, and 7A, 7B, and (ii) practicing the various GPS-guided methods of wild fire suppression illustrated in FIGS. 17 through 25B, and described in detail herein.

Referring to FIG. 4, the cluster of communication servers 9A is accessed by web-enabled mobile computing clients 11 (e.g. smart phones, wireless tablet computers, desktop computers, computer workstations, etc.) used by many stakeholders accessing services supported by the system network 1. The cluster of application servers 9A implement many core and compositional object-oriented software modules supporting the system network 1. Typically, the cluster of RDBMS servers 9C use SQL to query and manage datasets residing in its distributed data storage environment, although non-relational data storage methods and technologies such as Apache's Hadoop non-relational distributed data storage system may be used as well.

The various components in the mobile device can be coupled by one or more communication buses or signal lines. Sensors, devices, and subsystems can be coupled to the peripherals interface 206 to facilitate multiple functionalities. For example, a motion sensor 210, a light sensor 212, and a proximity sensor 214 can be coupled to the peripherals interface 206 to facilitate the orientation, lighting, and proximity functions. Other sensors 216 can also be connected to the peripherals interface 206, such as a positioning system (e.g. GPS receiver), a temperature sensor, a biometric sensor, a gyroscope, or other sensing device, to facilitate related functionalities. A camera subsystem 220 and an optical sensor 222, e.g. a charged coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) optical sensor, can be utilized to facilitate camera functions, such as recording photographs and video clips. Communication functions can be facilitated through one or more wireless communication subsystems 224, which can include radio frequency receivers and transmitters and/or optical (e.g. infrared) receivers and transmitters. The specific design and implementation of the communication subsystem 224 can depend on the communication network(s) over which the mobile device is intended to operate. For example, the mobile device 11 may include communication subsystems 224 designed to operate over a GSM network, a GPRS network, an EDGE network, a Wi-Fi or WiMax network, and a Bluetooth™ network. In particular, the wireless communication subsystems 224 may include hosting protocols such that the device 11 may be configured as a base station for other wireless devices. An audio subsystem 226 can be coupled to a speaker 228 and a microphone 230 to facilitate voice-enabled functions, such as voice recognition, voice replication, digital recording, and telephony functions. The I/O subsystem 240 can include a touch screen controller 242 and/or other input controller(s) 244. The touch-screen controller 242 can be coupled to a touch screen 246. The touch screen 246 and touch screen controller 242 can, for example, detect contact and movement or break thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensitivity technologies, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with the touch screen 246.

Different Ways of Implementing the Mobile Client Machines and Devices on the System Network of the Present Invention

In one illustrative embodiment, the enterprise-level system network is realized as a robust suite of hosted services delivered to Web-based client subsystems 1 using an application service provider (ASP) model. In this embodiment, the Web-enabled mobile application 12 can be realized using a web-browser application running on the operating system (OS) (e.g. Linux, Application IOS, etc.) of a mobile computing device 11 to support online modes of system operation, only. However, it is understood that some or all of the services provided by the system network 1 can be accessed using Java clients, or a native client application, running on the operating system of a client computing device, to support both online and limited off-line modes of system operation. In such embodiments, the native mobile application 12 would have access to local memory (e.g. a local RDBMS) on the client device 11, accessible during off-line modes of operation to enable consumers to use certain or many of the system functions supported by the system network during off-line/off-network modes of operation. It is also possible to store in the local RDBMS of the mobile computing device 11 most if not all relevant data collected by the mobile application for any particular fire-protection spray project, and to automatically synchronize the dataset for user's projects against the master datasets maintained in the system network database 9C1, within the data center 8 shown in FIG. 4. This way, when using a native application, during off-line modes of operation, the user will be able to access and review relevant information regarding any building spray project, and make necessary decisions, even while off-line (i.e. not having access to the system network).

As shown and described herein, the system network 1 has been designed for several different kinds of user roles including, for example, but not limited to: (i) public and private property owners, residents, fire departments, local, county, state and federal officials; and (ii) wild fire suppression administrators, contractors, technicians et al registered on the system network. Depending on which role, for which the user requests registration, the system network will request different sets of registration information, including name of user, address, contact information, etc. In the case of a web-based responsive application on the mobile computing device 11, once a user has successfully registered with the system network, the system network will automatically serve a native client GUI, or an HTML5 GUI, adapted for the registered user. Thereafter, when the user logs into the system network, using his/her account name and password, the system network will automatically generate and serve GUI screens described below for the role that the user has been registered with the system network.

In the illustrative embodiment, the client-side of the system network 1 can be realized as mobile web-browser application, or as a native application, each having a “responsive-design” and adapted to run on any client computing device (e.g. iPhone, iPad, Android or other Web-enabled computing device) 11 and designed for use by anyone interested in managing, monitoring and working to defend against the threat of wild fires.

FIG. 14 shows an exemplary fire hazard severity zone (FHSZ) map generated by the CAF FIRE™ System in state responsibility areas of the State of California. Such maps can be used by the system network 1 to inform the strategic application of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid spray using the system network of the present invention. Such maps also can be displayed on the mobile application 12 to provide greater awareness of risks created by wild fires in a specific region, at certain moments in time.

Specification of an Exemplary Anti-Fire (AF) Spray Protection Map Generated by the System Network of the Present Invention

FIG. 15 shows an exemplary GPS-specified anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray protection map generated by the system network 1, showing properties, houses and buildings that were sprayed, and not-sprayed, with state/county-issued anti-fire liquid as of report date, 15 Dec. 2017. The system network will periodically update these AF chemical liquid spray protection maps (e.g. every 5 minutes or less) for display to users and neighbors to see whose property/land parcels and homes/building have been spray protected with anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid (e.g. Hartindo AF31 anti-fire chemical liquid), and whose parcels and home/buildings have not been AF-spray protected against wild fires, so that they can or may volunteer to lend a helping hand in spray protecting their neighbors properties as time and anti-fire chemical supplies allow, to provide a stronger defense against one or more wild fires raging towards their neighborhood.

In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the application servers 9B supported by the system network 1 will automatically generate anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray-protection task reports, as illustrated in FIG. 16, based on the analysis of spray-protection maps as shown in FIG. 15, and based on many other kinds of intelligence collected by the system, and analyzed by human analysts, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) expert systems. Based on such automated intelligence efforts, the application servers 9B will generate periodically, and as needed, AF chemical liquid (AFCL) Spray Command Program files containing GPS/Time-Frame-indexed commands and instructions that are wirelessly transmitted to assigned GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems 30, 40, 50 and 60, so that the operators of such GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems will know when and where to mist and/or spray AF chemical liquid over and one certain GPS-specified properties, in their effort to defend against the threat of wild fires.

The AFCL Spray Command Program files, containing GPS-indexed commands and instructions, generated by the application servers 9B are transmitted over the system network 1 to the numerous deployed GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems 30, 40, 50 and 60, so as to orchestrate and choreograph the spray application of clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid over GPS-specified properties, before and during the presence of wild fires, so as to implement an orchestrated strategic and collective defense against wild fires that break out for various reasons, threatening states, counties, towns, neighborhoods homes, business, and human and animal life.

In some embodiments, the application servers 9B will generate and issue AFCL Spray Command Program files that are transmitted to specific GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems 30, 40, 50 and 60, and containing automated instructions (i.e. commands) on when and where (i.e. in terms of time frame and GPS-specified coordinates) the GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems should automatically apply, via spraying operations, clean AF chemical liquid on GPS-specified property during their course of movement over land. During such spraying operations, the system network 1 will automatically meter, dispense and log how much clean AF chemical liquid has been sprayed over and on certain GPS-specified properties. Real-time wind-speed measurements can be made and used to compensate for spraying operations in real-time, as may be required under certain weather conditions.

In other embodiments, the application servers 9B will generate and issue AFCL Spray Command Program files that are transmitted to other GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems 30, 40, 50 and 60, providing automated instructions (i.e. commands) on when and where the GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems should spray-apply clean AF chemical liquid on GPS-specified property during course of movement over land, but allowing the human operator to override such spraying instructions, and compensate and ensure greater accuracy, using human operator skill and judgment during spraying operations. While such spraying operations, the system will automatically meter, log and record all dispensed AF chemical liquid sprayed over and over certain GPS-specified properties under the supervision and control of the human operator.

Specification of an Exemplary Anti-Fire Spray Protection Task Report Generated by the System of the Present Invention

FIG. 16 shows an exemplary GPS-specified anti-fire spray protection task report generated by the system network 1 for state/county xxx on 15 Dec. 2017, indicating which properties on what streets, in what town, county, state, requires the reapplication of AF chemical liquid spray treatment in view of factors such as weather (e.g. rainfall, sunlight) and passage of time since last spray application. Such task reports will be transmitted by the command center 19 to registered users, along with an SMS and/or email message to attend to the AF spray task, so the requested user will promptly spray protect their land parcels and home with clean AF chemical liquid, as conditions require or suggest, using the mobile/portable GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying system 20 assigned to the property owner, and deployed over the system network 1.

As contracted AF-spray operators, and home owners alike, protect properties and homes using the GPS-tracked AF liquid spraying systems (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60), the system network 1 automatically receives GSM or other RF-based signals transmitted from the GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems, indicating that certain amounts of AF chemical liquid has been dispensed and sprayed from the system onto GPS-specified property. Notably, the amounts of AF chemical liquid dispensed and sprayed from the system over and onto GPS-specified property should closely match the amounts requested in the task report transmitted to the user, to achieve the AF spray protection task directed by AI-driven management processes supported by the wild fire suppression system network of the present invention.

Specification of New and Improved Wild Fire Suppression Methods in Accordance with Principles of the Present Invention

Having described the various GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems of the illustrative embodiments 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60, shown in the Figure Drawings, and the various functions supported by the mobile application 12 supported by the data center 8 of the system network 1, it is appropriate at this juncture to now described the various new and improved wild fire suppression methods in accordance with principles of the present invention, each involving GPS-guided spray application of clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid having a chemistry that works to break a wild fire by interfering with the free-radicals produced during the combustion phase of a ranging wild fire. The benefits and advantages provided by such new and improved methods will become apparent hereinafter.

Specification of a Method of Suppressing a Wild Fire Raging Across a Region of Land in the Direction of the Prevailing Winds

FIG. 17 shows a plan view of a wild fire 70 emerging from a forest region 71A and approaching a neighboring town 72 surrounded by other forest regions 71B, 71B and 71C, and moving in the direction determined by prevailing winds, indicated by a pair of bold arrows. This example closely resembles the pathway of many wild fires recently destroying countless acres of land (i.e. real property) in the State of California in 2017.

FIG. 18 illustrates the various steps involved in carrying out the method of suppressing a wild fire raging across a region of land. Specifically, the method involves forming a multi-stage anti-fire chemical fire-break system illustrated in FIG. 18 using the remotely-managed GPS-controlled application of both anti-fire (AF) liquid mist streams and AF chemical liquid spray streams from ground and air based GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) liquid spray vehicles, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A, 7B and 9A, 9B, for example.

As illustrated in FIG. 18, the method generally involves: (a) applying, prior to the wild fire reaching the specified target region of land 74, a low-density anti-fire (AF) liquid mist stream in advance of the wild fire 75 so as to form a fire stall region 76, while providing a non-treated region 77 of sufficient size between the front of the wild fire 75 approaching the target region of land 73 and the fire stall region 76; and (b) applying a high-density anti-fire (AF) liquid spray stream in advance of the wild fire 75 to form a fire break region 74 beyond and contiguous with the fire stall region 76, and also continuous with the target region 73 to be protected from the wild fire.

As illustrated in FIG. 18, the fire stall region 76 is formed before the wild fire reaches the fire stall region 76. The fire stall region 76 operates to reduce the free-radical chemical reactions raging in the wild fire 75. This fire stall region 76 helps to reduce the destructive energy of the wild fire by the time the wild fire reaches the fire break region 74, and enabling the fire break region 74 to operate and significantly break the free radical chemical reactions in the wild fire 75 when the wild fire reaches the fire break region 74. This helps to suppress the wild fire 75 and protect the target region of land 73.

FIGS. 19A and 19B describe the method of suppressing a wild fire raging towards a target region of land 73 (and beyond) in a direction determined by prevailing winds and other environmental and weather factors, as illustrated in FIG. 18. Typically, the system used to practice this method of the present invention will employ a centralized GPS-indexed real-property/land database system 7 shown in FIG. 4 containing GPS-indexed maps of all land regions under management and fire-protection, developed using methods, equipment and services known in the GPS mapping art. Such GPS-indexed maps will contain the GPS coordinates for the vertices of each and every parcel in any given state, county and town in the country in which system is deployed. As shown in FIG. 4, this central GPS-indexed real property database 7 will be operably connected to the TCP/IP infrastructure 10 of the Internet, and accessible by system network 1 of the present invention.

As indicated at Block A in FIG. 19A, prior to the wild fire reaching the specified target region of land, a GPS-tracked AF spray vehicle 50 as shown for example in FIG. 9A applies a low-density anti-fire (AF) liquid mist 80 in advance of the wild fire so as to form a fire stall region 76 while providing a non-treated region 77 of sufficient size between the front of the wild fire approaching the target region of land 73 and the fire stall region 76. The fire stall region 76 is formed by a first GPS-guided aircraft system flying over the fire stall region during multiple passes and applying the low-density AF chemical liquid mist 80 over the fire stall region 76. The non-treated region 77 is defined by a first set of GPS coordinates {GPS₁(x,y)} and, the fire stall region 76 is defined by a second set of GPS coordinates {GPS₂(x,y)}. Each of these regions are mapped out using global positioning system (GPS) methods, the GPS-indexed land database system 7, drone-type aircraft systems as shown in FIG. 8A, and space-based land-imaging satellites 14 having multi-spectral imaging capabilities, and operably connected to the infrastructure of the Internet. When used alone and/or together, these systems are capable of capturing real-time intelligence on the location and spread of a particular wild fire, its direction of propagation, intensity and other attributes. This captured data is provided to application servers in the data center 8 which, in turn, generate GPS coordinates determining the planned pathways of the GPS-traced AF chemical liquid spraying/misting aircraft systems, to provide the anti-fire protection over the GPS-indexed fire stall region 76 and GPS-specified non-treated region 75, as described in greater detail below.

As indicated at Block B in FIG. 19A, a second GPS-tracked AF spray vehicle as shown in FIG. 9A applies a high-density anti-fire (AF) liquid spray 81 over the land in advance of the wild fire to form a GPS-specified fire break region 74 beyond and contiguous with the GPS-specified fire stall region 76. The fire break region 74 is formed by the second GPS-guided aircraft flying over the fire break region 74 during multiple passes and applying the high-density AF chemical liquid spray 81 over the fire break region 74. The fire break region 74 is defined by a third set of GPS coordinates {GPS₃(x,y)} mapped out using global positioning system (GPS) methods, the GPS-indexed land database system 7, drone-type aircraft systems as shown in FIG. 8A, and/or space-based land-imaging satellites 14 having multi-spectral imaging capabilities, and operably connected to the infrastructure of the Internet. When used alone and/or together, these systems are capable of capturing real-time intelligence on the location and spread of a particular wild fire, its direction of propagation, intensity and other attributes. This captured data is provided to application servers in the data center 8 which, in turn, generate GPS coordinates determining the planned pathways of the GPS-traced AF chemical liquid spraying/misting aircraft systems, to provide the anti-fire protection over GPS-specified fire break region 74, as described in greater detail below.

As indicated at Block C in FIG. 19B, the fire stall region 76 is formed before the wild fire 75 reaches the fire stall region 76, and operates to reduce the free-radical chemical reactions raging in the wild fire so as to reduce the destructive energy of the wild fire by the time the wild fire 75 reaches the fire break region 74, and enabling the fire break region 74 to operate and significantly break the free radical chemical reactions in the wild fire 75 when the wild fire reaches the fire break region 74, and thereby suppress the wild fire 75 and protect the target region of land 73 and beyond.

FIG. 24 is a graphical illustration showing a method of remotely managing the application of anti-fire (AF) liquid spray to ground cover and buildings so as to reduce the risks of damage due to wild fires. FIGS. 25A and 25B describes the high level steps carried out by the method in FIG. 24 to reduce the risks of damage due to wild fires. Typically, this method is carried out using the system network of FIG. 4 and any one or more of the GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray vehicle systems 14A-14D represented in FIG. 4 and shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, and 10A, 10B.

As indicated at Block A in FIG. 25A, the system registers each GPS-specified parcel of real property in a specified County and State, which may or may not have buildings constructed thereon, and identifying the owner and tenants, as well as all pets, vehicles and water crafts associated with the registered parcel of real property. Typically, the system will request the address of the property parcel, and will automatically determine (or estimate) its GPS coordinates that specify the vertices of the parcels using databases, and data processing methods, equipment and services, known in the GPS mapping art. The GPS address of each parcel will be stored in the centralized GPS-indexed land database system 7 shown in FIG. 4

As indicated at Block B in FIG. 25A, the system collects intelligence relating to the County, risks of wild fires in the surrounding region, and historical data maintained in a network database, and generates GPS-specified anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports for execution.

As indicated at Block C in FIG. 25A, an AF chemical liquid spraying system is provided to a GPS-specified location for spraying the GPS-specified parcels of real property with AF chemical liquid spray.

As indicated at Block D in FIG. 25A, a supply of AF chemical liquid spray is provided to the GPS-specified location of the AF chemical liquid spraying system.

As indicated at Block E in FIG. 25A, the AF chemical liquid spraying system is filled with the provided supply of AF chemical liquid.

As indicated at Block F in FIG. 25B, prior to the arrival of a wild fire to the region, and based on the anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps generated by the system, the system issues a request to property owners, or their registered contractors, to apply AF chemical liquid spray on GPS-specified properties using deployed AF chemical liquid spraying systems.

As indicated at Block G in FIG. 25B, in response to the issued request, the property owner or contractor thereof applies AF chemical liquid spray on the real property using the AF chemical liquid spraying system, and the system remotely monitors the consumption and application of the AF chemical liquid on the property on a given date, and automatically records the transaction in the network database.

As indicated at Block H in FIG. 25B, the system updates records in the network database associated with each application of AF chemical liquid spray on one or more GPS-specified parcels of real property.

In the illustrative embodiment, Hartindo AF31 Total Fire Inhibitor (from Hartindo Chemicatama Industri of Jakarta, Indonesia http://hartindo.co.id, or its distributor Newstar Chemicals of Malaysia) is used as a clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid when practicing the present invention. A liquid dye of a preferred color from Sun Chemical Corporation http://www.sunchemical.com can be added to Hartindo AF31 liquid to help visually track where AF chemical liquid has been sprayed during the method of wild fire suppression. However, in some applications, it may be desired to maintain the AF chemical liquid in a clear state, and not employ a colorant. Also, the clinging agent in this AF chemical liquid formulation (i.e. Hartindo AF31 liquid) will enable its chemical molecules to cling to the surface of combustible materials, including vegetation, so that it is quick to defend and break the combustion phase of fires (i.e. interfere with the free radicals driving combustion).

Specification of the Method of Qualifying Real Property for Reduced Property Insurance, Based on Verified Spray-Based Clean Anti-Fire (AF) Chemical Liquid Treatment, Prior to Presence of Wild Fires, Using the System Network of the Present Invention

FIG. 26 describes the method of qualifying real property for reduced property insurance, based on verified spray-based clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid treatment prior to presence of wild fires, using the system network of the present invention 1 described in great technical detail hereinabove.

As indicated at Block A in FIG. 26, a clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid is periodically sprayed over the exterior surfaces of a wood-framed building and surrounding real property to provide Class-A fire-protection to the property in the face of an approaching wild fire.

As indicated at Block B in FIG. 26, the spray-based Class-A fire protection treatment is verified and documented using captured GPS-coordinates and time/date stamping data generated by the GPS-tracked AF-liquid spraying system (20, 30, 40, 50 and/or 60) deployed on the system network 1 and used to apply fire protection treatment.

As indicated at Block C in FIG. 26, the spray protection treatment data, generated by the GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying system used to apply the spray-based class-a fire protection treatment, is wirelessly transmitted to the central network database, to update the central network database 9C1 on the system network.

As indicated at Block D in FIG. 26, a company underwriting property insurance for the wood-framed building accesses the central network database 9C1 on the system network 1, to verify the database records maintained for each spray-based Class-A fire-protection treatment relating to the property and any wood-framed buildings thereon, to qualify the property/building owner for lower property insurance premiums, based on the verified Class-A fire-protection status of the sprayed property/building.

As indicated at Block E in FIG. 26, upon the outbreak of a wild fire about the insured wood-framed building/property, the local fire departments can use the mobile application 12 designed to command center administrators, a provided with suitable filters and modifications, to instantly and remotely assess the central network database 9C1, so as to quickly determine and identify the Class-A fire-protected status of the property and any wood-framed buildings thereon by virtue of timely clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid application on the property, and advise fireman fighting and managing wild fires that the Property has been properly defended against wild fire.

By virtue of this method of the presence invention described above, it is now possible to better protect real property and buildings against wild fires when using the system network of the present invention 1, and at the same time, for property insurance underwriters to financially encourage and incentivize property owners to comply with the innovative clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray programs disclosed and taught herein that improve the safety and defense of neighborhoods against the destructive energy carried by wild fires.
