and step 102, acquiring and recording the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle reported by the flight data recording device.
The flight data recording device is generally used to record flight data (e.g., position, velocity, acceleration, etc.) of an aircraft during flight, and further, may record other data related to flight (e.g., environmental information such as air pressure, humidity, etc.).
In this embodiment, the flight data recorder is the flight data recorder who is suitable for to install on unmanned aerial vehicle, can carry out the record to data such as flying height, flying speed, course, flight acceleration and positional information of unmanned aerial vehicle.

And 104, determining the flight data recording device bound with the user terminal when receiving the position request message sent by the user terminal.
In this embodiment, the server may also establish a connection with the user terminal, and receive a location request message sent by the user terminal. The position request message may be used to request to acquire the position information of the drone, and as described above, the flight data recording device is installed on the drone, so that the flight data recording device bound to the user terminal needs to be determined first to acquire the requested position information of the drone.
And 106, searching target position information, wherein the target position information corresponds to a flight data recording device bound with the user terminal.
In this embodiment, the position information of each unmanned aerial vehicle reported by a plurality of different flight data recording devices can be recorded, different flight data recording devices have unique identifiers, and then, after the flight data recording device bound by the user terminal is determined, target position information can be found and obtained from the recorded position information of each unmanned aerial vehicle according to the unique identifier of the flight data recording device bound by the user terminal, and the target position information corresponds to the flight data recording device bound by the user terminal. That is to say, the target position information reported by the flight data recording device bound corresponding to the user terminal is searched and obtained from the recorded position information of each unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, according to the unique identifier of the flight data recording device B bound by the user terminal a, the position information reported by the flight data recording device B is searched and obtained, and the position information is the target position information.
And step 108, sending the target position information to the user terminal.

Especially, when unmanned aerial vehicle accident, can be fast and accurate send the position information before the unmanned aerial vehicle accident for the user to the user can pinpoint unmanned aerial vehicle's accident place, has reduced the search degree of difficulty, has improved search efficiency.
Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of another drone monitoring method in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring method includes:
step 202, receiving a binding request message reported by a user terminal.
Step 204, judging whether the flight data recording device requested to be bound by the user terminal is in a bound state.
In this embodiment, one flight data recording device may correspond to one user terminal, in other words, the user terminal is bound to the flight data recording device. The user terminal can establish the binding relationship between the user terminal and the flight data recording device by sending a binding request message to the server. For example, the user terminal may, but is not limited to, generate the binding request message by scanning a two-dimensional code tag on the flight data recording device, and send the binding request message to the server to request establishment of a binding relationship with the scanned flight data recording device. For another example, the user terminal and the flight data recording device may be bound by NFC (near field communication), which is not limited in this embodiment.
Generally, a flight data recording device can exist in two states: a bound state and an unbound state. The method comprises the steps that when a server receives a binding request message reported by a user terminal, the binding state of a flight data recording device requested to be bound by the user terminal can be judged, and if the flight data recording device requested to be bound by the user terminal is determined to be in the binding state, a binding prompt message is generated; wherein the binding prompt message may be used to indicate that the current flight data recording device is bound, and the specific content of the binding prompt message includes but is not limited to: the binding can be continued only by first releasing the existing binding of the flight data recording device.
If it is determined that the flight data recording device requested to be bound by the user terminal is in an unbound state, the following step 206 is performed.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, one flight data recording device can only bind to one user terminal, and one user terminal can bind to multiple flight data recording devices, and a user can select, through the user terminal, the multiple flight data recording devices bound to the user terminal, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Step 206, establishing a binding relationship between the user terminal and the flight data recording device requested to be bound by the user terminal.
And step 208, acquiring and recording the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle reported by the flight data recording device.
In this embodiment, the flight data recording device that reports the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle may be a flight data recording device that has established a binding relationship with the user terminal. The server can record the flight data of each unmanned aerial vehicle that each flight data recorder reported, wherein, each flight data recorder has unique sign, so, can be according to the unique sign of each flight data recorder to the flight data of record carries out the mark, and then establishes the corresponding relation between flight data recorder, unmanned aerial vehicle and the flight data three. Wherein the flight data includes, but is not limited to: position information of the drone.
Further, the flight data recording device may continuously report the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle, for example, continuously report the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to a set time interval, and of course, in order to reduce the equipment load and avoid resource waste, the flight data recording device may also periodically report the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle, where each period may include the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle at multiple moments, which is not limited in this embodiment.
Step 210, when receiving a position request message sent by a user terminal, determining a flight data recording device bound with the user terminal.
In this embodiment, in order to reduce resource consumption, the location information of the drone may be sent to the user terminal only when receiving the location request message sent by the user terminal, and of course, the real-time location information of the drone may also be continuously sent to the user terminal, which is not limited in this embodiment.
As described above, the server records the position information of the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles reported by the multiple flight data recording devices, and if the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle is to be acquired, it is necessary to first determine that the user terminal is correspondingly bound with the flight data recording device. The position request message may carry a unique identifier of the bound flight data recording device, so that the flight data recording device corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle specifically requested by the user terminal may be determined according to the unique identifier of the flight data recording device carried in the position request message.
Step 212, target position information is searched, wherein the target position information corresponds to the flight data recording device bound with the user terminal.
Step 214, sending the target location information to the user terminal.
In the embodiment, the server and the user terminal, and the server and the flight data recording device can realize data transmission and transmission based on mobile communication and/or wireless communication, so that the safety, stability and long transmission distance of the data transmission and transmission are ensured.
In a preferable scheme of this embodiment, the method may further include:
and step 216, generating an early warning message according to the flight data, and sending the early warning message to the user terminal.
In this embodiment, the flight data may further include a flight speed of the drone; the early warning message includes but is not limited to: an anomaly indication message and an alarm message.
Wherein,
1. the generation and sending process of the abnormal indication message may be as follows:
and step 11, determining the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment, and the position information and the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle at each time point in a previous preset sampling period of the current moment.
In this embodiment, the specific duration of the preset sampling period may be set according to an actual situation, which is not limited in this embodiment. Generally, a plurality of time points may be included in one preset sampling period, and the server may determine the position information and the flight speed of the drone at each time point in the previous preset sampling period to the current time.
And step 12, calculating to obtain the average acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the previous preset sampling period according to the position information and the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle at each time point in the previous preset sampling period of the current time.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the average acceleration (a) may be calculated from the time (t), velocity (v) and distance(s). In this embodiment, each time point in the previous preset sampling period is known, the speed of each time point is known, and the position information of each time point is determined (corresponding to the distance is also determined), so that the average acceleration of the drone in the previous preset sampling period can be calculated.
And step 13, determining the estimated flight interval of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the next moment according to the flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment and the average acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the previous preset sampling period.
In this embodiment, according to the flying speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment and the average acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the previous preset sampling period, the distance that the unmanned aerial vehicle may fly in the time interval from the current moment to the next moment can be predicted, and then a fan-shaped or circular area can be determined by taking the predicted possible flying distance as a radius and taking the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment as a fan center, and then the determined fan-shaped or circular area is determined as the predicted flying interval of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the next moment.
And step 14, acquiring second position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the next moment, which is reported by the flight data recording device at the next moment.
And step 15, judging whether the position indicated by the second position information is in the estimated flight interval.
And step 16, when the position indicated by the second position information is not in the estimated flight interval, generating an abnormal indication message, and sending the abnormal indication message to the user terminal.
In this embodiment, if the position indicated by the second position information is not within the estimated flight interval, it is indicated that the unmanned aerial vehicle may have an abnormal condition, and an abnormal indication message for indicating that the unmanned aerial vehicle is in an abnormal flight state may be generated. After the abnormal indication message is sent to the user terminal, the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be continuously sent to the user terminal, so that the user can monitor the state of the unmanned aerial vehicle, determine whether the unmanned aerial vehicle has a flight fault, guarantee the flight safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle and find dangerous situations in time.
2. The generation and sending process of the alarm message may be as follows:
and step 21, when the early warning message reported by the flight data recording device is received, acquiring the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the next preset sampling period at the current moment.
In this embodiment, the early warning message may include: and the flight speed and the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment.
It should be noted that, an inertial sensor may be included in the flight data recording device, and the inertial sensor may be used to detect the acceleration of the drone. When the flight data recording device acquires that the acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment is larger than a set threshold value, the early warning message can be generated and reported, and meanwhile, the flight speed and position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment are carried in the early warning message and reported to the server.
When the acceleration value detected by the inertial sensor exceeds a specified acceleration threshold value, the flight data recording device generates early warning information and sends the early warning information to the server, wherein the early warning information comprises the current speed and the acceleration.
And step 22, calculating to obtain a first acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the later preset sampling period and the flight speed and the flight acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment.
As described above, in this embodiment, the first acceleration of the drone from the current time to the preset sampling period may be calculated according to a known motion calculation formula.
Step 23, judging whether the first acceleration is within a preset acceleration threshold range; and if not, generating an alarm message and sending the alarm message to the user terminal.
Generally, during normal flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle is kept within a preset acceleration threshold range, and when the acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle exceeds the preset acceleration threshold, it indicates that the unmanned aerial vehicle may be in a dangerous situation. For example, when the unmanned aerial vehicle collides with an obstacle, the reverse acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle is very large and exceeds a preset acceleration threshold range; for another example, when the unmanned aerial vehicle loses power and crashes, the acceleration of the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches g, which is beyond the preset acceleration threshold range. Therefore, whether the unmanned aerial vehicle is in a dangerous situation can be determined according to whether the first acceleration is within a preset acceleration threshold range.
In this embodiment, when the first acceleration exceeds the preset acceleration threshold range, an alarm message may be generated and sent to the user terminal to prompt the user that the unmanned aerial vehicle is in a dangerous situation, so that the user can find out the dangerous situation in time. In addition, the server can also simultaneously generate the stored corresponding information for responding to the alarm message to the user so as to prompt the user to process the dangerous case in time. For example, the answer information includes, but is not limited to: promote flying height, change unmanned aerial vehicle flight course etc..
It should be noted that, the generation and sending of the abnormal indication message and the generation and sending of the warning message have no necessary sequence in the execution process, and may be executed simultaneously, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In a preferable scheme of this embodiment, the method may further include:
in step 218, the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment and the takeoff position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle are acquired.
And step 220, determining the flight distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment and the takeoff position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Step 222, calculating a difference value between the flight distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle and a preset maximum flight distance.
Step 224, judging whether the difference value is larger than a preset difference value; and if so, generating a distance alarm message.
Generally, most of the existing unmanned aerial vehicles are controlled by an operator through a handheld remote controller. The operator can only control the drone generally within range of sight. In this embodiment, whether the unmanned aerial vehicle has a risk exceeding the control range can be determined by comparing the difference value with a preset difference value, the difference value is greater than the preset difference value (that is, the situation that the flight exceeds the range may occur), and a distance warning message is generated in time to prompt a user, so that the user can avoid that the unmanned aerial vehicle exceeds the controllable range by changing the course and the like, and the flight safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, there is no necessary sequence between the step 216 and the step 218, and the steps may be executed simultaneously, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In summary, the method for monitoring the unmanned aerial vehicle according to this embodiment can obtain and record the flight data of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the flight data recording device, and send the recorded flight data (e.g., position information) of the unmanned aerial vehicle to the user terminal when receiving the position request message sent by the user terminal, so that the user can know the flight condition of the unmanned aerial vehicle in time and monitor the unmanned aerial vehicle in real time. Especially, when unmanned aerial vehicle accident, can be fast and accurate send the position information before the unmanned aerial vehicle accident for the user to the user can pinpoint unmanned aerial vehicle's accident place, has reduced the search degree of difficulty, has improved search efficiency.
