and step S403, activating the unmanned aerial vehicle establishing the communication connection according to the activation information.

In one embodiment, upon receiving the activation information of the server, a communication connection may be established with the drone and an identity of the drone may be received. However, in some cases, for example, a user has used a client to connect to the drone a and the acquired identification information comes from the body of the drone B, the user may automatically connect to the drone a after receiving the activation information (a and B are identification identifiers of the drone, for example, a serial number of a drone main control chip, or a WiFi identifier of the drone), and the user may deactivate the drone a through the received activation information without distinguishing, which may cause activation failure and cause trouble to the user.

And whether the identity corresponding to the obtained identification information is the same as the identity of the unmanned aerial vehicle establishing the communication connection is detected, and only under the condition that the identity is the same as the identity of the unmanned aerial vehicle establishing the communication connection, the unmanned aerial vehicle establishing the communication connection is deactivated through the received activation information, so that successful activation is ensured, and troubles to users are avoided.

In one embodiment, the image capturing function is mainly implemented by the image capturing device on the terminal, and in some cases, for example, the image capturing is damaged, or the authority of the client to open the image capturing device is not opened, the image capturing function is not available.

In this case, prompt information may be generated to prompt the user to manually input the authentication information, for example, the prompt information may be "the camera is unavailable, please manually input the authentication information", so that the user can know in time that the image acquisition function is unavailable, thereby manually inputting the authentication information, and further quickly completing the activation of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

In one embodiment, in some cases, although the identification information can be collected, the identification information cannot be analyzed, or the authentication information obtained by analyzing the identification information does not conform to a preset format. For example, if the identification information is not clear due to wear of the body, the identification information cannot be analyzed; for example, the preset format is a format to which the serial number of the main control chip belongs, and the authentication information corresponding to the identification information is not the serial number of the main control chip, so that the authentication information obtained by the machine does not conform to the preset format. Both of these circumstances will cause the process of activating the drone to be impeded.

Under these circumstances, can generate the tip information to the manual input authentication information of suggestion user, for example the tip information can be for "the camera is unavailable, please manual input authentication information" so that the user knows in time that the image acquisition function is unavailable, thereby manual input authentication information, and then accomplish unmanned aerial vehicle's activation smoothly.

Under the conditions, the radio frequency identification function of the terminal can be started, the authentication information in the radio frequency tag of the unmanned aerial vehicle is tried to be acquired, if the authentication information is acquired, the user does not need to manually input the authentication information, namely the prompt information is not generated, and if the authentication information is not acquired yet, the prompt information is generated, and the user is prompted to manually input the authentication information.
