detailed description

The control method of controlling some functional modules of the drone through APP is not convenient enough. For example, in the field of industry-level drones, due to the particularity of the industry, compared to consumer-level drones, there are higher requirements for the quality of the captured images (such as brightness information). When the drone is shooting at night or in a poorly lit environment, the lighting equipment on the drone is usually used to assist the shooting. Currently, the opening and closing and/or brightness of lighting equipment is controlled through APP. Among them, when the brightness of the lighting equipment is controlled through the APP, specifically, the display interface of the control APP is the image transmission interface, and the user judges the brightness of the shooting screen displayed on the image transmission interface to determine whether the brightness of the current shooting screen is consistent. If not, switch the APP display interface to the control interface for controlling the lighting equipment, and adjust the brightness of the lighting equipment by operating the control interface; after adjusting the brightness of the lighting equipment each time, switch back to the image transmission interface to confirm the current shooting screen Whether the brightness of the camera meets the requirements. It is necessary to constantly switch between the image transmission interface and the control interface to determine whether the brightness of the lighting equipment is suitable, and the manipulation is very troublesome.

When simultaneously controlling the flight status of the drone (or the parameters of the camera) and the lighting equipment, it is necessary to control the APP and the remote control equipment at the same time, which is troublesome to operate, poor user experience and poor safety.

Aiming at the problem of inconvenient operation caused by the existing drones controlling some functional modules through APP, the present invention realizes the control of the first functional module and the second functional module through the multiplex control of the first control part of the remote control device, and improves The control speed, convenience and safety are improved, the control stability and reliability are increased, and the user has a better operating experience. In addition, the present invention also realizes the control of the parameters of the first function module and the parameters of the second function module through the multiplexing of the second control part of the remote control device, and further improves the control speed, convenience and safety.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the following embodiments and implementations can be combined with each other.

The method or remote control device in the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a movable platform. Movable platforms may include unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ships, unmanned vehicles, mobile robots, etc. The embodiment of the present invention takes an unmanned aerial vehicle as an example for description.

Referring to FIG. 1, the drone 100 of the embodiment of the present invention may include a first functional module 110 and a second functional module 120. In this embodiment, the first functional module 110 and the second functional module 120 are the components of the drone 100 Two different functional modules. The drone 100 of this embodiment may be an aerial photography drone, or other types of drones, such as a plant protection drone. Optionally, the first functional module 110 is an inherent module of the drone 100, and the second functional module 120 is an auxiliary module of the drone 100. For example, the drone 100 is an aerial photography drone. Optionally, the first The functional module 110 includes a photographing device, and the second functional module 120 includes a lighting device. The photographing device may include an image sensor or a camera and other devices with a photographing function. The lighting device may include a searchlight or other equipment with a lighting function; of course, the first The functional module 110 and the second functional module 120 may also be other modules, and examples are not given here.

Referring to FIG. 2, the remote control device 200 may include a first control part 210. The first control unit 210 may be a button, a button, a knob or others, and the type of the first control unit 210 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The first control part 210 can be operated by pressing, pulling, or rotating, etc., so that the first control part 210 is triggered. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the process of triggering the first control unit 210 in one complete process includes: operating the first control unit 210 -> releasing the first control unit 210. The first control unit 210 in this embodiment may include one or more.

The following describes the specific implementation process of the drone control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The control method of the drone of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the remote control device 200 of the drone 100. Referring to FIG. 2, the control method of the drone can include the following steps:

S201: Acquire trigger information of the first control unit 210;

It is possible to determine whether to control the operation of the first functional module 110 or to control the operation of the second functional module 120 according to the content of the trigger information. In this embodiment, the trigger information may be used to indicate that the first control part 210 is in the first trigger state, or used to indicate that the first control part 210 is in the second trigger state.

Wherein, the trigger information may include the time information when the first control unit 210 is triggered, the number of times the first control unit 210 is triggered in a specific time period, or others. Of course, the trigger information may also include a combination of the foregoing trigger information.

In some embodiments, the trigger information includes: time information when the first control unit 210 is triggered, so that the time information is used to determine whether to control the operation of the first function module 110 or the operation of the second function module 120. The time information may be used to indicate information such as the number of triggers of the first control unit 210 or the duration of the first control unit 210 being triggered at the same time.

For example, in some examples, the time information is used to indicate the number of triggers of the first control unit 210 at the same time. According to the number of triggers of the first control unit 210 at the same time, it is determined to control the operation of the first functional module 110. It still controls the operation of the second functional module 120. In this embodiment, the first control unit 210 may include multiple ones. Optionally, the first trigger state includes: time information is used to indicate that a single first control unit 210 is triggered, that is, at a certain moment, a single first control unit 210 is triggered. When the control unit 210 is triggered, it indicates that the first control unit 210 is in the first trigger state; optionally, the second trigger state includes: time information used to indicate that multiple first control units 210 are triggered at the same time, that is, If multiple first control units 210 are triggered at the same time, it indicates that the first control unit 210 is in the second trigger state. In this embodiment, multiple first control units 210 are triggered at the same time, which can mean that all the first control units 210 are triggered at the same time, or it can mean that a part (two or more) of the first control units 210 are triggered at the same time. Understandably, the first trigger state and the second trigger state can also be set to other.

In this embodiment, each first control unit 210 has a different function. For example, the first function module 110 may include a photographing device, and the first control unit 210 includes a button C1 and a button C2. Among them, at a certain moment, a single C1 is triggered, then the camera is controlled to focus; at a certain moment, a single C2 is triggered, then the camera is controlled to take photos or videos; of course; the functions of C1 and C2 are not limited to the above list. It can also be other. In addition, if C1 and C2 are triggered at the same time, the operation of the second functional module 120 is controlled.

For another example, in some examples, the time information includes: duration, and it is determined whether to control the operation of the first function module 110 or the operation of the second function module 120 according to the duration when the first control unit 210 is triggered. Optionally, the first trigger state includes: time information used to indicate that the duration of the first control unit 210 being triggered is less than a first preset duration threshold, that is, when the duration of the first control unit 210 being triggered is less than the first preset duration When the duration threshold is set, the operation of the first functional module 110 is controlled. Optionally, the second trigger state includes: time information used to indicate that the duration of the first control unit 210 being triggered is greater than or equal to a second preset duration threshold, that is, when the duration of the first control unit 210 being triggered is greater than or equal to When the second preset duration threshold is used, the operation of the second function module 120 is controlled.

The numerical value of the first preset duration threshold and the second preset duration threshold can be set as required. Wherein, the magnitudes of the first preset duration threshold and the second preset duration threshold may be equal or unequal. When the magnitudes of the first preset duration threshold and the second preset duration threshold are not equal, the magnitude of the first preset duration threshold is smaller than the magnitude of the second preset duration threshold. Further optionally, if the time information is used to indicate that the duration for which the first control unit 210 is triggered is greater than a first preset duration threshold and less than a second preset duration threshold, control the first function module 110 or the second function Other functions of the module 120 (other functions refer to the operation of the non-first functional module 110 and the operation of the non-second functional module 120), or control other functional modules of the UAV 100 (that is, the non-first functional module 110, also Non-second functional module 120).

In some embodiments, the trigger information includes: the number of times the first control unit 210 is triggered within a specific time period. The specific duration can be set as required, for example, the specific duration is 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds or other sizes. Optionally, the first trigger state includes: the number of times the first control unit 210 is triggered within a specific time period is less than a first preset number, that is, when the number of times the first control unit 210 is triggered within a specific time period is less than the first preset number When the number is counted, the operation of the first functional module 110 is controlled. Optionally, the second trigger state includes: the number of times the first control unit 210 is triggered within a specific time period is greater than or equal to a second preset number, that is, when the number of times the first control unit 210 is triggered within a specific time period is greater than or equal to At the second preset number of times, the operation of the second function module 120 is controlled.

The numerical value of the first preset number of times and the second preset number of times can be set as required. Wherein, the magnitudes of the first preset times and the second preset times may be equal or not equal. When the size of the first preset number and the second preset number are not equal, the size of the first preset number is smaller than the size of the second preset number. Further optionally, if the time information is used to indicate that the duration for which the first control unit 210 is triggered is greater than a first preset number of times and less than a second preset number of times, the first functional module 110 or the second functional module 120 is controlled Other functions (other functions refer to the operation of the non-first functional module 110 and the non-second functional module 120), or control other functional modules of the UAV 100 (that is, the non-first functional module 110, and the non-first functional module 110). Two functional modules 120).

Understandably, trigger strategies can be combined to control the operation of the first functional module 110 and/or the second functional module 120. Among them, the operation of the first functional module 110 or the operation of the second functional module 120 includes that it is in a working state after being turned on.

Understandably, the first control part 210 may be a physical control or a virtual control.

S202: If the trigger information is used to indicate that the first control unit 210 is in the first trigger state, control the operation of the first functional module 110;

In some embodiments, the first functional module 110 includes a camera, and controlling the operation of the first functional module 110 may include at least one of the following control strategies:

(1) Control the focus of the shooting device;

(2) Control the zoom of the shooting device;

(3) Control the camera to take pictures or videos.

It is understandable that when controlling the operation of the photographing device, other control strategies may be set, which are not limited to the control strategies listed above; of course, the first functional module 110 may also include others.

S203: If the trigger information is used to indicate that the first control unit 210 is in the second trigger state, control the operation of the second functional module 120.

The first trigger state and the second trigger state may be the same or different. For example, in some embodiments, the first trigger state is the same as the second trigger state. In this case, it is necessary to determine whether to control the first function according to the operating state of the first function module 110 and the second function module 120 when the trigger information is acquired. The operation of the module 110 still controls the operation of the second functional module 120. Specifically, the implementation process of controlling the operation of the first functional module 110 may include: if trigger information is received during the operation of the second functional module 120, controlling the operation of the first functional module 110; and controlling the second functional module The implementation process of the operation of 120 may include: if trigger information is received during the operation of the first function module 110, the operation of the second function module 120 is controlled to realize the switching of the operation of the two function modules. It should be noted that the operation process of the first functional module 110 and the second functional module 120 refers to that the first functional module 110 and the second functional module 120 are in the working state. If the first functional module 110 and the second functional module 120 are both in the working state, In the off state, that is, the trigger information is acquired for the first time, the operation of the first function module 110 is controlled by default.

In other embodiments, the first trigger state and the second trigger state are not the same, then when the trigger information is obtained, step S202 or step S203 is executed.

In this embodiment, controlling the operation of the second functional module 120 may include: controlling the opening and closing of the second functional module 120, that is, controlling the opening or closing of the second functional module 120, specifically, when the second functional module 120 is in the closed state If the trigger information is used to indicate that the first control unit 210 is in the second trigger state, the second functional module 120 is controlled to switch to the on state; when the second functional module 120 is in the on state, if the trigger information is used to indicate the first control When the part 210 is in the second trigger state, the second function module 120 is controlled to switch to the off state. It can be understood that controlling the operation of the second function module 120 may also include others, and may be specifically set according to the specific functions of the second function module 120.

Further, in some embodiments, the control method of the drone may further include: when the second functional module 120 is in the on state, locking the second functional module 120 in the on state. Wherein, when the second functional module 120 is locked in the open state, operating the first control unit 210 can control the operation of the first functional module 110. Taking the first functional module 110 including the shooting device and the second functional module 120 including the lighting equipment as an example, when the lighting equipment is used to assist in shooting, after the lighting equipment is turned on, if you want to control the shooting device to shoot higher-quality images, If it is desired that the lighting device is turned off by a false trigger, the second function module 120 can be locked in the open state through the above-mentioned locking function. At this time, when the first control unit 210 is operated, the second function module 120 can be kept in the open state.

Further, referring to FIG. 3, the remote control device 200 may further include a second control part 220, and the second control part 220 may be keys, buttons, knobs, or others. The second control part 220 can be operated by pressing, pulling, or rotating, etc., so that the second control part 220 is triggered. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the process of triggering the second control unit 220 in one complete process includes: operating the second control unit 220 -> releasing the second control unit 220. The second control unit 220 in this embodiment may include one or more. In this embodiment, the second control unit 220 includes one, and the second control unit 220 is a dial wheel.

The second control unit 220 may control the parameters of the first function module 110 or control the parameters of the second function module 120. In this embodiment, the second control unit 220 includes a first control mode and a second control mode. In the first control mode, operating the second control unit 220 can control the parameters of the second functional module 120; In the control mode, operating the second control unit 220 can control the parameters of the first functional module 110. Optionally, the first function module 110 includes a photographing device, and the parameters of the first function module 110 include: zoom parameters or focus parameters of the photographing device, that is, when the second control unit 220 is in the second control mode, the second control unit 220 can be operated by The control unit 220 adjusts the zoom parameter or the focus parameter of the photographing device so that the photographed image meets the photographing requirement; it is understandable that the parameters of the first functional module 110 may also include other parameters. Optionally, the second function module 120 includes a lighting device, and the parameters of the second function module 120 include: brightness parameters of the lighting device, that is, when the second control part 220 is in the first control mode, the second control part 220 can be operated To adjust the brightness parameter of the lighting device, so as to adjust the brightness of the lighting device; understandably, the parameters of the second functional module 120 may also include other parameters. Through the multiplexing of the second control part 220 of the remote control device, the control of the parameters of the first function module 110 and the parameters of the second function module 120 is realized, and the control speed, convenience and safety are further improved.

Different strategies may be used to trigger the second control unit 220 to perform mode switching. In this embodiment, the mode switching of the second control unit 220 is associated with the open/close state of the second functional module 120.

For example, in some embodiments, the following functions are realized by operating the first control unit 210 at the same time: the switching of the opening and closing states of the second function module 120 and the mode switching of the second control unit 220, that is, the second function module 120 is switched on. The switching of the closed state and the mode switching of the second control unit 220 are linked to further improve the control speed and convenience, thereby improving task execution efficiency and bringing a better operating experience to the user.

Optionally, the control method of the drone may further include: if the second function module 120 is switched from the off state to the on state, triggering the second control unit 220 to be in the first control mode. That is, when the second function module 120 is triggered to be turned on, the second control part 220 is triggered to be in the first control mode, and the first control part 210 has the ability to simultaneously trigger the turning on of the second function module 120 and the mode switching of the second control part 220. The function of opening the second function module 120 and the mode switching of the second control part 220 do not need to use an independent control part, and the operation is convenient and quick.

Optionally, the control method of the drone may further include: if the second function module 120 is switched from the on state to the off state, triggering the second control unit 220 to be in the second control mode. When the second functional module 120 is triggered to close, the second control unit 220 is triggered to be in the second control mode. The first control unit 210 has the function of simultaneously triggering the closing of the second functional module 120 and the mode switching of the second control unit 220, The closing of the second functional module 120 and the mode switching of the second control unit 220 do not need to use an independent control unit, and the operation is convenient and quick.

Optionally, the control method of the drone may further include: if the second functional module 120 is switched from the off state to the on state, triggering the second control unit 220 to be in the first control mode; and, if the second functional module 120 Switching 120 from the on state to the off state triggers the second control unit 220 to be in the second control mode. The first control part 210 has the function of simultaneously triggering the opening and closing of the second function module 120 and the mode switching of the second control part 220. The opening and closing of the second function module 120 and the mode switching of the second control part 220 do not need to use independent controls. The operation is convenient and quick.

For another example, in some embodiments, the control method of the drone may further include: when the second function module 120 is in the on state, keeping the second control unit 220 in the second control mode, that is, the second control mode. The mode switching of the control unit 220 is not completely linked with the switching of the open/close state of the second functional module 120, and further operations are required to realize the mode switching of the second control unit 220.

Optionally, after the switching of the opening and closing states of the second functional module 120 is realized by operating the first control part 210, the third control part 230 is further operated to realize the mode switching of the second control part 220. In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, the remote control device 200 further includes a third control unit 230. The third control unit 230 can be the first control unit 210 or other control units (not the first control unit 210, nor The second control unit 220). When the third control unit 230 is another control unit, the third control unit 230 can control the third functional module 130 of the drone 100, and the first functional module 110, the second functional module 120, and the third functional module 130 are different functional module. Optionally, the third functional module 130 includes a power system of the UAV 100, which is used to provide flight power for the UAV 100, and the flight speed of the UAV 100 can be achieved by operating the third control unit 230. control.

The third control part 230 may be a key, a button, a knob, or others. The third control part 230 can be operated by pressing, pulling or rotating, etc., so that the third control part 230 is triggered. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the process of completely triggering the third control unit 230 at one time includes: operating the third control unit 230 -> releasing the third control unit 230. The third control unit 230 in this embodiment may include one or more.

Optionally, the control method of the drone may further include: triggering the second control unit 220 to be in the first control mode when the trigger information of the third control unit 230 is acquired. That is, when the second functional module 120 is in the on state, if the trigger information of the third control unit 230 is acquired, the second control unit 220 is triggered to switch from the second control mode to the first control mode. The content of the trigger information of the third control unit 230 is similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may include the time information at which the third control unit 230 is triggered or the number of times the third control unit 230 is triggered within a specific period of time, or a combination of the two or others, I won't repeat them here. Further, the control method of the drone may further include: after triggering the second control unit 220 to be in the first control mode, if the trigger information of the third control unit 230 is acquired again, triggering the second control unit 220 to be controlled by The first control mode is switched to the second control mode.

In a specific usage scenario, the first function module 110 includes a photographing device, the second function module 120 includes a lighting device, the first control unit 210 includes a button C1 and a button C2, and the second control unit includes a dial wheel. When the drone is shooting at night or in a poorly lit environment, the user can first operate the C1, C2, and the dial at different times to control the shooting device to take photos or videos, or the zoom parameters of the shooting device or the shooting device Focus parameters. After adjusting the camera, the user can press C1 and C2 at the same time to trigger the lighting equipment to turn on, and at the same time trigger the dial to switch to the first control mode. In the first control mode, operate the dial to control the brightness parameters of the lighting equipment . At this time, the display interface of the APP can always remain in the image transmission interface, and the user can operate the dial wheel according to the brightness of the shooting screen displayed on the image transmission interface to adjust the brightness of the lighting equipment, so that the brightness of the shooting screen meets the needs, based on C1, The multiplexing of C2 and the dial wheel can realize the brightness adjustment of the lighting equipment without the user switching back and forth between the image transmission interface and the control interface on the APP; at the same time, the user can control the camera and the lighting equipment at the same time by operating the remote control device. Compared with the existing method of simultaneously controlling the APP and the remote control device to control the shooting device and the lighting device, the control method of the movable platform of this embodiment has the advantages of fast control speed, good convenience, and better safety.
