The embodiment of the application provides an unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring method. Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a monitoring method for a drone according to another embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to the control terminal of the unmanned aerial vehicle. As shown in fig. 6, the method in this embodiment may include:

s601, sending a data acquisition request to the unmanned aerial vehicle in a wireless mode.

For example, after the control terminal 31 of the drone 21 shown in fig. 4 powers on the drone 21, the control terminal 31 establishes a wireless communication link with the drone 21. The control terminal 31 sends a data acquisition request to the drone 21 through the wireless communication link to acquire parameter information and/or abnormality information of at least one functional component of the drone 21. After receiving the data acquisition request, the drone 21 sends parameter information and/or abnormal information of at least one functional component to the control terminal 31 through the wireless communication link.

S602, receiving parameter information and/or abnormal information of at least one functional component of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is wirelessly sent by the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component are used for monitoring the unmanned aerial vehicle.

For example, after receiving the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, the control terminal 31 may monitor the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, and optionally, the monitoring includes at least one of: service life monitoring of the functional component, fault monitoring of the functional component.

For example, the control terminal 31 may monitor the service life of each functional component and/or monitor whether each functional component is malfunctioning.

As another possible implementation manner, after the control terminal 31 receives the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, the control terminal 31 displays the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component on a display component of the control terminal 31, where the display component may be a display screen. The parameter information and/or the abnormal information of at least one functional unit that user's accessible this display screen shows monitor this unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, a user may monitor the service life of each functional component of the drone and/or monitor the failure of each functional component through parameter information and/or abnormal information of at least one functional component displayed by the display screen.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, as a possible implementation manner, after receiving the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component of the drone wirelessly transmitted by the drone, the method further includes: and processing the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component.

For example, the control terminal 31 is a remote controller, and when the remote controller is in communication connection with the server, the remote controller may transmit the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component received by the remote controller to the server. When the remote controller is not in communication connection with the server, the remote controller can store the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component locally and perform data processing on the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component. For example, the remote controller may remove invalid data and duplicate data in the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, so as to optimize the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, so that the data stored in the remote controller is reduced, and the optimized parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component are conveniently and quickly sent to the server after the subsequent connection between the remote controller and the server is established.

As another possible implementation manner, after receiving the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component of the drone wirelessly transmitted by the drone, the method further includes: recording the receiving time of the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component.

For example, when the remote controller receives the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of at least one functional component, the remote controller may further record the time of receiving the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component.

Optionally, the recording the parameter information and/or the receiving time of the abnormal information of the at least one functional unit includes: acquiring network time; and recording the receiving time of the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional unit according to the network time.

For example, when the remote controller is communicatively connected to the server, that is, the remote controller is in an online state, the remote controller may obtain the network time from the server, and further, keep the system time of the remote controller synchronized with the network time. When the remote controller receives the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of at least one functional component, the network time at the receiving moment is used as the receiving time of the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, and the receiving time is recorded.

Or, the recording the parameter information and/or the receiving time of the abnormal information of the at least one functional component includes: acquiring time information of a positioning module of the unmanned aerial vehicle; and recording the receiving time of the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component according to the time information of the positioning module of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the system time of the control terminal.

For example, when the remote controller is not communicatively connected to the server, i.e., the remote controller is in an offline state, the system time of the remote controller may be set by the user, or the user may change the system time of the remote controller from time to time. Therefore, when the remote controller receives the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component sent by the drone, the remote controller may further acquire time information of a positioning module of the drone, for example, GPS time of the drone. Or, the unmanned aerial vehicle can synchronously send the GPS time of the unmanned aerial vehicle when sending the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of at least one functional component to the remote controller. After the remote controller receives the GPS time of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the system time of the remote controller is kept synchronous with the GPS time by taking the GPS time of the unmanned aerial vehicle as the standard, so that the accuracy of the system time of the remote controller is ensured. When the remote controller receives the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of at least one functional component, the system time at the receiving moment is used as the receiving time of the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component, and the receiving time is recorded.

As another possible implementation manner, after receiving the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of at least one functional component of the drone wirelessly transmitted by the drone, the method further includes: when control terminal and server communication connection, will parameter information and/or the unusual information of at least one functional unit of unmanned aerial vehicle sends for the server, the server is used for with parameter information and/or the unusual information of at least one functional unit of unmanned aerial vehicle sends for terminal equipment, perhaps the server is used for right parameter information and/or the unusual information of at least one functional unit of unmanned aerial vehicle carries out data processing to send the result data after the data processing for terminal equipment.

For example, after the remote controller receives the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component, the remote controller may further send a prompt message to the user to prompt the user whether to send the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component to the server. The manner in which the remote control prompts the user is not limited here, and for example, prompt information may be displayed on a display screen of the remote control, or a prompt tone may be played by the remote control. When the remote controller obtains user authorization, namely the user confirms that the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component can be sent to the server, the remote controller sends the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component to the server. Or, in some scenarios, when the remote controller receives the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component sent by the unmanned aerial vehicle, the remote controller and the server are not in communication connection, and at this time, the remote controller may store the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component first. And after the remote controller and the server establish communication connection, the remote controller sends the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of at least one functional component to the server.

As a possible way, after the server 32 receives the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component, the terminal device 33 may access the login server 32 and obtain the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component from the server 32 or the storage system 34. For example, the server 32 may be a web server, when the user accesses the login server 32 through the terminal device 33, the terminal device 33 sends a web request to the server 32 to request to browse the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component of the drone 21, and further, the server 32 sends the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component stored in the local or storage system 34 to the terminal device 33, so that the terminal device 33 or the user monitors the drone 21 according to the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component. For example, the user may browse information such as activation time, running time, number of times of use, power-on time, and the like of each functional component of the drone 21 on the terminal device 33, and in addition, the user may browse information about abnormality of each functional component of the drone 21 on the terminal device 33.

As another possible way, after the server 32 receives the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component, the server 32 may process the parameter information and/or the abnormality information of the at least one functional component, and send the processed result data to the terminal device 33. For example, the battery level of the drone 21 is varied in real time while performing a task. When the server 32 receives the battery power of the unmanned aerial vehicle 21 changing in real time, the server 32 may draw a graph of the battery power changing with time, and send the graph to the terminal device 33, so that the terminal device 33 or the user monitors the battery of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the graph.

In addition, the remote controller can also send the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the remote controller to the server in a wireless mode, and the server can store the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the remote controller and the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of at least one functional component of the unmanned aerial vehicle in a classified mode according to specific screening rules. For example, parameter information and/or anomaly information of the remote controller is stored together, and parameter information and/or anomaly information of at least one functional component of the unmanned aerial vehicle is stored together.

Optionally, the method further includes: and sending account information of the user logged in the control terminal to the server, wherein the account information is used for determining the user using the unmanned aerial vehicle.

For example, when a user controls the unmanned aerial vehicle through a remote controller, the user needs to perform login operation on the remote controller, specifically, the user needs to input account information on the remote controller, and further, the remote controller sends the account information to the server, so that the server determines whether the user has the right to control the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the account information. Alternatively, the server may also send the account information to the terminal device 33, where the terminal device 33 may be a terminal device of an administrator of the drone. When the unmanned aerial vehicle breaks down, the administrator can determine which user uses the unmanned aerial vehicle through the account information, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle breaks down.

In addition, the same unmanned aerial vehicle can be controlled by different users in different time, therefore, different users can input different account information on the remote controller, and the remote controller can send the account information input by different users to the server at different time. The server stores the account information corresponding to different times, or the server transmits the account information corresponding to different times to the terminal device 33.

According to the method and the device, after the control terminal receives the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of at least one functional component of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component are subjected to data processing, for example, invalid data and repeated data are removed, the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component can be optimized, the data stored by the control terminal are reduced, and the control terminal can conveniently send the parameter information and/or the abnormal information to the server. In addition, when the control terminal is in an off-line state, the time information of the positioning module of the unmanned aerial vehicle is acquired through the control terminal, the system time of the control terminal is kept synchronous with the time of the positioning module, and the accuracy of the receiving time of the parameter information and/or the abnormal information of the at least one functional component is improved. In addition, account information of the user logged in on the control terminal is sent to the server through the control terminal, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle breaks down, the user using the unmanned aerial vehicle can be traced back through the account information.
