A pedestrian with a cellphone is in a public area. He sees a drone airborne nearby. He rents the drone to control its actions. His phone shows a signal encoding his electronic address, like a phone number. The drone decodes and sends a message with an URL, deep link or linket. The latter is a brand of the drone owner that maps to a deep link. The deep link designates an app in an app store. He installs the app and interacts with the owner, taking control of the drone for a specified time. The app shows images from the drone camera. The drone can crowdsource public safety. And check the presence of players at locations in Augmented Reality games. It can distribute electronic prizes to players. It can distribute keys for cryptosystems. The drone can pick up data from users at different places. Drone-drone interactions can optimise drone routes. Drones can be used with a blimp and electronic billboards to increase crowd use of an app.
