Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The embodiment of the invention provides a control scheme which can be applied to an application scene of long-distance navigation of an unmanned aerial vehicle, and specifically comprises the following steps: when bidirectional data interaction between a selected control station of the plurality of preset control stations and the unmanned aerial vehicle is established, the remote server can send uplink control data to the selected control station, so that the selected control station sends the uplink control data to the unmanned aerial vehicle to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly or execute tasks; the unmanned aerial vehicle can generate downlink service data in the process of flying or executing a task according to the uplink control data of the selected control station, the unmanned aerial vehicle sends the downlink service data to the selected control station, and the selected control station determines the first signal receiving strength according to the receiving condition of the downlink service data. In addition, when the unmanned aerial vehicle sends downlink service data to the selected control station, the candidate control stations in the plurality of preset control stations also detect the downlink service data, and determine the second signal receiving strength according to the receiving condition of the downlink service data. The remote server receives first signal receiving intensity sent by the selected control station and second signal receiving intensity sent by the candidate control station, generates a switching instruction according to the first signal receiving intensity and the second signal receiving intensity, and sends the switching instruction to the selected control station, so that the selected control station controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to disconnect bidirectional data interaction with the selected control station, and controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to establish bidirectional data interaction with the candidate control station.
In the control scheme shown in the embodiment of the invention, the remote server can control the unmanned aerial vehicle to switch the connection with different preset control stations in the flight process according to the signal receiving intensity of the plurality of preset control stations, and the uplink control data for controlling the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle is obtained by connecting with different preset control stations, so that the phenomenon of blind flight caused by the long distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the corresponding control terminal or remote terminal is avoided, and the effective long-distance flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be realized.
Based on the control scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the embodiment of the invention also provides a control system, and a schematic structural diagram of the control system provided by the embodiment of the invention is shown in reference to fig. 1. The control system shown in fig. 1 may include a remote server 101, an unmanned aerial vehicle 102, a preset control station 103, and a smart device 104 corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle 102, where the smart device 104 may be a control terminal such as a remote controller, or the smart device 104 may also be a remote terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer. The unmanned aerial vehicle 102 may include an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the preset control station 103 includes at least two preset control stations, and it is assumed that the preset control station 103 shown in fig. 1 includes a preset control station a, a preset control station B, and a preset control station C. Each preset control station corresponds to a signal coverage range, and all signals or data falling into the signal coverage range can be collected by the preset control station. The signal coverage range of each preset control station can be the same or different.
In one embodiment, the preset control station 103 in the control system shown in fig. 1 may be set by the relevant personnel in the selected operation area of the unmanned aerial vehicle 102. Specifically, assuming that the signal coverage ranges of the preset control stations are the same, in the selected operation area, determining the number of the preset control stations required to be arranged in the operation area and the deployment site of each preset control station according to the signal coverage ranges of the preset control stations and the total area of the operation area; at each deployment site, preset control stations, such as a preset control station a, a preset control station B, and a preset control station C in fig. 1, are deployed at the same or similar distances from each other.
It should be understood that, in an application scenario in which the unmanned aerial vehicle performs a flight mission in a general situation, as shown in fig. 2, in the application scenario shown in fig. 2, a user may input a control instruction for the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 through the intelligent device 104, and then the intelligent device 104 carries the control instruction in the uplink control data and sends the control instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle 102, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 performs the flight mission according to the control instruction in the uplink control data; meanwhile, the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 sends downlink service data generated in the process of executing the flight task to the intelligent device 104, so that a user can detect the task execution condition of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the intelligent device 104 conveniently.
However, the above control method for the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 may have the following problems in practical applications: the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 and the intelligent device 104 is long, the uplink control data of the intelligent device 104 cannot be sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle 102, and similarly, the downlink service data generated by the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 cannot be sent to the intelligent device 104. As a result, the unmanned aerial vehicle may fly blind, which may cause safety hazard to the unmanned aerial vehicle 102.
The control system provided by the embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problem, in the control system illustrated in fig. 1, the remote server 101 serves as a transfer device between the unmanned aerial vehicle 102, the intelligent device 104, and the preset control station 103. The intelligent device 104 may send the uplink control data to the remote server 101, the remote server 101 sends the uplink control data to a selected control hypothesis in a preset control station as a (selection of the selected control station will be described in detail later), and the selected control station a implements bidirectional data interaction with the unmanned aerial vehicle, that is, the selected control station a sends the uplink control data to the unmanned aerial vehicle 102, and the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 sends the downlink service data to the selected control station a. The selected control station a may directly send the downlink service data to the intelligent device 104, or the selected control station a may also send the downlink service data to the remote server 101, and the remote server 101 sends the downlink service data to the intelligent device 104 for the user to view.
In one embodiment, during the process of controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to perform the mission, the remote server 101 may determine a selected control station, say a, from a plurality of preset control stations 103 and notify the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 to establish a two-way data interaction with the selected control station a. In addition, since the signal coverage area of each control station is limited, in order to enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to navigate in a long distance, the remote server 101 further needs to determine a candidate control station, which is assumed to be B, from the preset control stations 103, so that when the flight distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 exceeds the signal coverage area of the selected control station a or the transmission quality of the bidirectional data interaction between the selected control station a and the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 is weak, the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 can be controlled to disconnect the bidirectional data interaction with the selected control station a and establish the bidirectional data interaction with the candidate control station B to continue to perform the flight mission.
Specifically, after the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 establishes bidirectional data interaction with the selected control station a, the remote server 101 may send uplink control data to the selected control station a to enable the selected control station to control the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 according to the uplink control data, where the uplink control data may be data for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to adjust the flying speed, the flying direction, and other data for controlling the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle 102 may transmit the downlink traffic data collected during flight to the selected control station a. Further, in order to monitor long-distance travel of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the selected control station a may determine a first signal reception intensity from the received downlink traffic data and transmit the first signal reception intensity to the remote server 101.
As flying aircraft 102 flies, unmanned aircraft 102 may fly to an area where signal coverage of selected control station a and candidate control station B overlap, and at this time, downlink traffic data transmitted from unmanned aircraft 102 to selected control station a is also detected by candidate control station B. The candidate control station B may determine the second signal reception strength according to the received downlink traffic data, and send the second signal reception strength to the remote server 101.
The remote server 101 compares the first signal receiving strength with the second signal receiving strength, and if it is detected that the difference between the second signal receiving strength and the first signal receiving strength is greater than the preset value, it indicates that the data transmission quality during bidirectional data interaction between the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 and the candidate control station B at this time is higher than the data transmission quality between the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 and the selected control station a, the remote server 101 may generate a switching instruction for instructing the unmanned aerial vehicle 102 to disconnect the bidirectional data interaction connection with the selected control station a and establish the bidirectional data interaction connection with the candidate control station B.
It should be understood that the above-described process embodiments of the present invention are only examples of switching the connection of the unmanned aerial vehicle from the selected control station to the candidate control station during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and describe the steps performed by the various parts of the control system to implement efficient long-distance communication of the unmanned aerial vehicle. For each connection switching in the flight process of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the steps executed by each part in the control system are the same as described above, and the specific implementation manner of the connection switching is also the same as described above, which is not described again here.
Based on the above control system, referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The control method shown in fig. 3 may be applied to a remote server, where the remote server is in communication connection with a selected control station and a candidate control station, where the selected control station performs bidirectional data interaction with the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the control method shown in fig. 3 may specifically include the following steps:
and S301, sending uplink control data to the selected control station to enable the selected control station to control the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the uplink control data.
The uplink control data can comprise setting data of basic flight such as the flight direction, the flight speed and the like of the unmanned aerial vehicle; alternatively, the uplink control data may further include setting data related to a flight mission performed by the unmanned aerial vehicle, for example, if the flight mission performed by the unmanned aerial vehicle is to acquire image data, the uplink control data may include setting data such as a shooting delay and a shooting resolution of a shooting device on the unmanned aerial vehicle.
In one embodiment, the uplink control data sent by the remote server to the selected control station may be generated by a remote terminal corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle and sent to the remote server. The remote terminal is a terminal device which can be used for monitoring the flight condition of the unmanned aerial vehicle and sending a control instruction to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the terminal device can be a mobile phone or a computer.
For example, referring to fig. 4a, which is a schematic diagram of a selected control station acquiring uplink control data according to an embodiment of the present invention, in fig. 4a, it is assumed that an unmanned aerial vehicle 401 is an unmanned aerial vehicle, a remote terminal corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle 401 is a terminal device 402, a user may start a setting interface for setting the unmanned aerial vehicle in a user interface of the terminal device 402, and may input a control operation or a control instruction in the setting interface through an input device related to the terminal device, such as a keyboard or a microphone, where the control instruction is "setting a shooting delay of 3 seconds" or the control instruction may also be "adjusting a certain parameter of a shooting device to an XX value". The terminal device 402 generates uplink control data according to the detected control or control instruction and transmits the uplink control data to the remote server 403, and the remote server 403 transmits the uplink control data to the selected control station 404, so that the selected control station controls the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle 401 according to the uplink control data.
In other embodiments, the selected control station may further obtain the uplink service data through a control terminal corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle. The control terminal can be a remote controller matched with the unmanned aerial vehicle, a user can input control operation on the control terminal corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the control terminal generates uplink control data according to the control operation input by the user and sends the uplink control data to the remote server.
For example, referring to fig. 4b, which is a schematic diagram of a selected control station acquiring uplink control data according to an embodiment of the present invention, in fig. 4b, it is assumed that an unmanned aerial vehicle 401 is an unmanned aerial vehicle, a control terminal corresponding to the unmanned aerial vehicle 401 is a remote controller 405, and a user can control a flight direction and a flight speed of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the remote controller 405. The remote controller 405 generates uplink control data according to the detected user operation and transmits the uplink control data to the selected control station 404, so that the selected control station 404 controls the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the uplink control data.
It should be understood that if the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the remote terminal or the control terminal is too large, uplink control data in the remote terminal or the control terminal may not be transmitted to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and thus, the unmanned aerial vehicle may have a blind flight state, and thus, the unmanned aerial vehicle has a flight safety problem. In the embodiment of the invention, the selected control station and the remote server are introduced between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the control terminal or the remote terminal to solve the problem, the uplink service data generated by the control terminal or the remote terminal is firstly sent to the remote server, and then the remote server forwards the uplink control data to the selected control station, so that the selected control station controls the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the uplink control data.
In one embodiment, the remote server may first determine the selected control station and the candidate control station from a plurality of preset control stations before performing step S201. Wherein, predetermine the control station can be set up in advance in unmanned vehicles's operation region, specifically: firstly, selecting an operation area of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and determining the number of preset control stations required in the operation area and the deployment site of each preset control station according to the total area of the operation area and the signal coverage range of each preset control station; on each deployment site, the respective preset control stations are deployed at the same or similar distances from each other. For example, the total area of the operation area of the selected unmanned aerial vehicle is 100, the signal coverage range of each preset control station is 18, the number of the required preset control stations in the operation area is at least 6, and 6 preset control stations or 8 preset control stations can be arranged in the operation area or any number of the preset control stations can be arranged according to requirements.
In one embodiment, the determining the selected control station and the candidate control station from the plurality of preset control stations may be: receiving control station indication information sent by a control terminal or a remote terminal of the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the control station indication information is determined by the control terminal or the remote terminal according to the control station selection operation of a user; and determining a selected control station and a candidate control station from a plurality of preset control stations according to the control station indication information.
In other words, the user can set the selected control station for bidirectional data interaction with the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment and the candidate control station to be subjected to bidirectional data interaction with the unmanned aerial vehicle through the control terminal or the remote terminal. Optionally, the control terminal or the remote terminal may display, in the user interface, a current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the selected operation area and each preset control station included in the selected operation area, and the user may select the selected control station and the candidate control station according to the current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
For example, a selected work area map is displayed in a user interface of the remote terminal, and the work area map includes a position identifier corresponding to a current position of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the work area, and a control station identifier corresponding to each preset control station identifier, such as (a, 1, 1 kilometer). In an embodiment, the control station identifier corresponding to each preset control station may include a name, such as a, and a number, such as 1, of the corresponding preset control station, and may even further include a distance, such as 1 km, between the preset control station and the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the user may select, according to the control station identifier of each preset control station, the preset control station closest to the unmanned aerial vehicle as the selected control station, and then select, from other preset control stations excluding the selected control station, the preset control station closest to the selected control station as the candidate control station.
In another embodiment, the method for determining the selected control station and the candidate control station from the plurality of preset control stations may further include: and receiving the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle sent by the control terminal of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and determining the selected control station and the candidate control from the plurality of preset control stations according to the position information. The remote server can record the position information of each preset control station when a plurality of preset control stations are deployed in the operation area, and after the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle is acquired from the control terminal, the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and each preset control station can be determined according to the position information of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the position information of each preset control station, and the selected controller is selected according to the calculated distance.
In another embodiment, the remote server may receive uplink control data from the control terminal or the remote terminal, where the uplink control data may include route data of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the determining the selected control station and the candidate control from the plurality of preset control stations may further be implemented by: and determining the selected control station and the candidate control station from a plurality of preset control stations according to the position information of the waypoint in the route data. Optionally, the specific manner for determining the selected control station and the candidate control station from the plurality of preset control stations according to the waypoint position information in the route data may be; the method comprises the steps of setting a corresponding preset control station for each waypoint in advance, determining the current waypoint of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the position information of the waypoint at the current moment, finding the preset control station corresponding to the waypoint as a determined selected control station, then obtaining the next waypoint of the waypoint and the preset control station corresponding to the next waypoint, and determining the preset control station corresponding to the next waypoint as a candidate control station of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the current moment.
Step S302, receiving the first signal receiving strength sent by the selected control station.
Step S303, receiving the second signal reception strength transmitted by the candidate control station.
In one embodiment, after the bidirectional data interaction is established between the selected control station and the unmanned aerial vehicle, the selected control station can send the received uplink control data sent by the remote server to the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the unmanned aerial vehicle controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly according to the uplink control data; and when the unmanned aerial vehicle flies according to the uplink control data, the generated downlink service data is sent to the selected control station.
In one embodiment, the selected control station determines a first signal reception strength for receiving the downlink traffic data and transmits the first signal reception strength to the remote server in step S202. The first signal receiving strength reflects the data transmission quality of downlink service data between the selected control station and the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the higher the first signal receiving strength is, the higher the data transmission quality is, otherwise, the lower the data transmission quality is.
In one embodiment, the unmanned aerial vehicle is located farther from the selected control station and closer to the candidate control station as the unmanned aerial vehicle flies. If the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the overlapping area between the signal coverage of the selected control station and the signal coverage of the candidate control station, the downlink service data sent to the selected control station by the unmanned aerial vehicle is also detected by the candidate control station, and in step S203, the candidate control station determines the second signal reception strength of the detected downlink service data and sends the second signal reception strength to the remote server. The second signal receiving strength reflects the data transmission quality of downlink service data between the candidate control station and the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the higher the second signal receiving strength is, the higher the data transmission quality is, otherwise, the lower the data transmission quality is.
