S4, the drone 100 is controlled to perform data transmission with the target device 200 while traveling according to the route, and the drone 100 passes at least one of the two waypoints, for example, point A.

Referring to FIG. 3, the drone 100 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a communication module 111 and a flight controller 112. Step S1 can be implemented by the communication module 111, and step S2, step S3, and step S4 can be implemented by the flight controller 112. That is, the communication module 111 can be used to receive and record a plurality of travel waypoints through which the drone 100 is pre-traveled and a data transmission speed at which data is transmitted to the target device 200 on each of the travel destinations. The flight controller 112 can be used to obtain two waypoints with the fastest data transmission speed. The two waypoints include the first waypoint A and the second waypoint B, and the route is formulated. The route includes the first waypoint A and the second waypoint. At least one waypoint in B and controlling the drone 100 to perform data transmission with the target device 200 while traveling according to the route, the drone 100 passes one of the two waypoints, for example, point A.

The UAV data transmission control method and the UAV 100 in the embodiment of the present invention firstly find out two waypoints with the fastest transmission speed when the UAV 100 and the target device 200 perform data transmission by pre-driving, and control no The human machine 100 performs data with the target device 200 while traveling on the route including the two destinations having the fastest transmission speed. Transmission, and the drone 100 passes one of the two waypoints with the fastest transmission speed, so that it can actively control to realize data transmission as soon as possible, and extend the range of the drone 100 as much as possible; During the transmission, the drone 100 does not hover, but continuously transmits data while traveling within the route range, thereby further extending the range of the drone 100.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 . In some embodiments, the drone data transmission control method includes:

S5, the drone 100 is controlled to perform pre-driving in the entire area 101 in which the drone 100 can perform data transmission with the target device 200.

Step S5 can be implemented by flight controller 112. That is, the flight controller 112 can be used to control the drone 100 to pre-travel within the entire area 101 in which the drone 100 is capable of data transmission with the target device 200. In other words, the pre-drive of the drone 100 is to fill the entire area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200.

The drone data transmission control method in the embodiment of the present invention and the pre-drive in the drone 100 are to fill the entire area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200, so that the two transmission speeds thus found are the fastest. The waypoints are relatively accurate and can further increase the data transfer speed.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, the step of controlling the drone 100 to perform data transmission with the target device 200 while traveling along the route includes:

S401, controlling the drone 100 to follow the route; and

S402, when the drone 100 enters the area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200, the drone 100 is controlled to continue data transmission with the target device 200 while continuing to follow the route.

Step S401 and step S402 can be implemented by the flight controller 112. That is, the flight controller 112 can be used to control the drone 100 to travel according to the route, and to control the drone 100 while continuing to follow the route while the drone 100 enters the area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200. The target device 200 performs data transmission.

The drone data transmission control method and the drone 100 in the embodiment of the present invention control the drone 100 while continuing to follow the route while the drone 100 enters the area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200. The data transmission by the device 200 can avoid wasting power when the drone 100 does not enter the area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200, and saves power to a certain extent, thereby further extending the range of the drone 100. In some embodiments, the area 101 in which the drone 100 is capable of data transmission with the target device 200 can be detected during the pre-drive of the drone 100. The drone 100 transmits a detection signal to the target device 200 every time a short interval of time, and continuously detects whether a feedback signal transmitted by the target device 200 is received after transmitting the detection signal. In this way, the area 101 in which the drone 100 can perform data transmission with the target device 200 can be calibrated. In the process of the drone 100 performing the data transmission task, the drone 100 is able to enter When the area 101 for data transmission with the target device 200 is controlled, the drone 100 is controlled to continue data transmission with the target device 200 while traveling along the route, so that the drone 100 does not reach the target device 200 during traveling without entering the area 101. The transmission of data saves a portion of the power, further extending the range of the drone 100.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 6 , in some embodiments, the data transmission control method of the drone includes:

S6, looking for an area 101 in which the drone 100 can perform data transmission with the target device 200.

Step S6 can be implemented by flight controller 112. That is, the flight controller 112 can be used to find an area 101 in which the drone 100 can perform data transmission with the target device 200.

In other embodiments, the area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200 does not have to be searched. In other words, step S6 may be omitted. At this time, the area 101 capable of data transmission with the target device 200 can be set before the departure of the drone 100, and the setting is mainly based on the range of the signal transmitted and received by the drone 100 and the range of signals transmitted and received by the target device 200. The range of signals transmitted and received by the drone 100 is determined by the communication module 111 in the drone 100, and the range of signals transmitted and received by the target device 200 is determined by the communication module in the target device 200.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 , in some embodiments, the data transmission control method of the drone includes:

S7, detecting whether the data transmission is completed after the drone 100 passes one of the waypoints A; and

S8, the drone 100 is controlled to continue data transmission with the target device 200 while continuing to follow the route to another waypoint B of the two waypoints after the data transmission is not completed after one of the waypoints A.

Steps S7 and S8 may be implemented by the flight controller 112. That is, the flight controller 112 can be used to detect whether the data transmission is completed after the drone 100 passes one of the waypoints, and control the drone 100 to continue to follow the route while the data transmission is not completed after passing one of the waypoints A. Driving to the other waypoint B of the two waypoints performs data transmission with the target device 200.

The drone data transmission control method in the embodiment of the present invention and the drone 100 control the drone 100 while continuing to follow the route to the other of the two waypoints after the data transmission is not completed after passing through one of the waypoints A. The waypoint B performs data transmission with the target device 200. According to the characteristics of data transmission, the two destinations with the fastest transmission speed obtained during pre-driving are A and B, then the data transmission speed of each waypoint between point A and point B will be relatively non-AB. The data transmission speed of other waypoints is faster, and the data transmission speed can be further improved by allowing the drone 100 to transmit data while flying the entire AB line.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 8 . In some embodiments, the drone 100 is controlled to continue to follow the route to two waypoints after the data transmission is not completed after passing through one of the waypoints A. The steps of another waypoint B in the data transmission with the target device 200 include:

S801, when the data transmission after one of the waypoints A is not completed, the drone 100 is controlled to continue to follow the route to another waypoint B of the two waypoints at a speed of 2 meters/second to perform with the target device 200. data transmission.

Step S801 can be implemented by the flight controller 112. That is to say, the flight controller 112 can be used to control the drone 100 to continue to follow the route to another of the two waypoints at a speed of 2 meters per second while the data transmission is not completed after passing one of the waypoints A. The waypoint B performs data transmission with the target device 200.

The drone data transmission control method and the drone 100 in the embodiment of the present invention can control the drone 100 to fly over the route between the point A and the point B, and can utilize the AB to the maximum extent without delaying the travel. The data transmission is performed at each waypoint between which the data transmission speed is fast, thereby maximizing the voyage of the drone 100 as much as possible. Among them, the flight speed of 2 m / s is a relatively moderate flight speed. It can be understood that when the drone 100 flies at a speed of 2 m/s, the drone 100 can uniformly traverse the respective waypoints between the points A and B, and the data transmission efficiency of the drone 100 is high. If the flight speed of the drone 100 is too fast, on the one hand, the drone 100 cannot detect the speed of data transmission, and on the other hand, the dwell time of the drone 100 at each waypoint between point A and point B. Too short, the data transmission efficiency of the drone 100 is lowered. In other embodiments, the speed of the drone 100 from point A to point B may be arbitrary, and is not limited to 2 meters/second in the present embodiment.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 and FIG. 9 . In some embodiments, the data transmission control method of the drone includes:

S7, detecting whether the data transmission is completed after the drone 100 passes one of the waypoints A;

S8, controlling the drone 100 to continue to follow the route to another waypoint B of the two waypoints while performing data transmission after one of the waypoints A is completed, and perform data transmission with the target device 200 while recording the driving. The third waypoint C with the fastest data transmission between the two waypoints on the way;

S9, detecting whether the data transmission is completed after the drone 100 passes the other waypoint B of the two waypoints; and

S10, controlling the drone 100 to return to the third waypoint C to hover and perform data transmission with the target device 200 until data transmission after the data transmission is still not completed after passing through the other waypoint B of the two waypoints. Finished.

Step S7, step S8, step S9, and step S10 may be implemented by the flight controller 112. That is, the flight controller 112 can be used to:

After the drone 100 passes one of the waypoints A, it is detected whether the data transmission is completed;

Controlling the drone 100 while continuing to follow the route to another waypoint B of the two waypoints while transmitting data after one of the waypoints A is completed, and recording data with the target device 200 while recording the two in transit The third waypoint C with the fastest data transmission between the waypoints;

Detecting whether the data transmission is completed after the drone 100 passes another of the two waypoints B; and

The drone 100 is controlled to hover to the third waypoint C and data transmission with the target device 200 until the data transmission is completed after the data transmission is still not completed after passing through the other waypoint B of the two waypoints.

The UAV data transmission control method in the embodiment of the present invention and the UAV 100 control the UAV 100 original path (on the route) after the data transmission has not been completed after passing through the other waypoint B of the two waypoints. Returning to the third waypoint C to hover and perform data transmission with the target device 200. It can be understood that although no is detected during the pre-driving process The data transmission speed of the man-machine 100 at point A and point B is relatively fast, but in the process of actually performing data transmission, the data transmission speed of the drone 100 at the point C may be due to weather and other factors. It is larger than the data transmission speeds at points A and B. Therefore, the drone 100 returns to the C point to hover and transmit data, which can further increase the transmission speed and extend the range. In addition, in some embodiments, the distance between point B and the starting point of the drone 100 may be relatively long. At this time, if the drone 100 returns to the point C to hover and transmit data until the data transmission is completed, The distance between point C and the starting point of the drone 100 is relatively short. Therefore, the return distance of the drone 100 is short, and the drone 100 can return to the starting point of the vehicle more quickly before the power is exhausted.

In some embodiments, the drone 100 is controlled to return to the third waypoint C and hover with the target device after the data transmission is still not completed after passing through the other of the two waypoints B. 200 steps of data transmission until data transmission is completed may include:

Controlling the drone 100 to perform data transmission with the target device 200 while traveling on the third waypoint C while the data transmission is still not completed after passing through another of the two waypoints B, and at the third waypoint After C hovering, data transmission with the target device 200 is continued until the transmission is completed.

Correspondingly, the flight controller 112 is configured to control the drone 100 to return to the third waypoint C while traveling with the target device 200 while the data transmission is still not completed after passing through the other of the two waypoints B. Data transmission is performed and data transmission with the target device 200 is continued after the third waypoint C is hovered until the transmission is completed.

At this time, data transmission is performed while traveling while traveling to the point C, and the speed of data transmission can be accelerated, so that the voyage of the drone 100 can be further extended.

In some embodiments, the drone 100 can also control the drone 100 to hover at the waypoint B and with the target device 200 after the data transmission has not been completed after passing through another of the two waypoints B. Data transfer is performed until the data transfer is completed.

It can be understood that when the drone 100 performs data transmission at each waypoint between the waypoint A, the waypoint B, and the waypoint A and the waypoint B, the drone 100 can detect the data transmission in real time during the data transmission process. speed. If it is detected that the speed of data transmission of the drone 100 at the waypoint B is relatively fast, and the data transmission of the drone 100 is still not completed when passing through the waypoint B, the drone 100 can be controlled to hover on the air. At point B, data is transmitted with the target device until the data transfer is completed. As such, the time required for data transfer between the drone 100 and the target device 200 is shortened.

The computer program can be executed by the processor to perform the drone transmission speed control method described in any of the above embodiments.

For example, the computer program can be executed by the processor to perform the drone transmission speed control method described in the following steps:
