很快，你就可以在亞馬遜訂購無人機服務了

Amazon.com is exploring using drones not just to deliver packages but also to provide surveillance as a service to its customers, according to a patent granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

據(jù)美國專利商標局授予的一項專利，亞馬遜網(wǎng)站正在探索使用的無人機不僅是為了遞送包裹，還將為其客戶提供監(jiān)控服務。

The delivery drones can be used to record video of consented user's property to gather data that can be analysed to look out, say for example, a broken window, or a fire or if a garage door was left open during the day, the patent described.

該專利稱，無人機可以用來記錄用戶自愿財產(chǎn)的視頻，以收集數(shù)據(jù)，這些數(shù)據(jù)可以被分析出來，以供查看。例如窗戶是否打破、火災或車庫門白天是否開著。

According to the patent, the surveillance function of the drone can be limited through geo-fencing, a technology used to draw a virtual boundary around the property under surveillance. Any image or data that the drone captures outside the geo-fence would be obscured or removed.

根據(jù)這項專利，無人機的監(jiān)視功能可以通過地理圍欄加以限制，地理圍欄是一種用來在被監(jiān)視的房產(chǎn)周圍劃定虛擬邊界的技術(shù)。無人機在地理圍欄外捕捉到的任何圖像或數(shù)據(jù)都將將被模糊處理或刪除。

The application for the patent was filed by the e-commerce giant in 2015 and granted on June 4.

該專利申請于2015年由這家電子商務巨頭提出，并于6月4日獲得批準。

Earlier this month, Amazon said it will start drones delivering packages to customers in 30 minutes or less in the coming months.

本月早些時候，亞馬遜表示，在未來幾個月內(nèi)，開始向客戶提供30分鐘或更短的時間內(nèi)使用無人機遞送包裹。
