Abstract: A device (15) for piloting a drone (10) comprising a touch screen (18) displaying a touch-sensitive area, means for detecting signals emitted by the touch-sensitive area, and means for transforming said detected signals into piloting commands and transmitting said commands to the drone. The device comprises control means, controlled by the touch-sensitive area forming activation/deactivation button, to make the drone piloting mode alternately switch between a mode of activation of the system for holding the last detected commands, mode in which said piloting commands transmitted to the drone result from the transformation of the last detected signals before the switching to the activation mode, and a mode of deactivation of the system for holding the last detected commands, mode in which said piloting commands transmitted to the drone result from the transformation of the current detected signals. The invention also relates to an associated method for controlling a drone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for piloting a rotary wing drone, the method being implemented by an electronic apparatus for piloting the drone, the drone being configured to have an on board camera. The method comprises calculating different types of navigation setpoint(s) of the drone, based on different types of piloting instructions for the movement of the drone, a type of piloting instruction being capable of modifying at least an attitude angle of the drone and/or the movement speed of the drone, each type of piloting instruction respectively being associated with a type of navigation setpoints, the calculation comprising, for at least one type of piloting instructions: determining the sighting axis of the camera; obtaining at least one navigation setpoint associated with at least one type of piloting instructions based on the sighting axis of the camera.
