Unmanned aerial vehicle remote control method and system based on the Internet

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle remote control method and system based on the Internet, and creates a method for remotely controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle through the Internet, and changes a conventional connection mode of a flight control APP and a USB data line of a remote controller into an Internet connection mode, thereby breaking various limitations of the conventional connection mode. Therefore, the control mode and the operation mode of the unmanned aerial vehicle are expanded. According to the invention, the flight control APP can be separated from the remotecontroller, the remote controller is arranged at a high position, the problems of signal shielding and interference of a handheld remote controller at a low position are avoided, and an operator can control an airplane at any place with a network or even in an office by only holding one mobile phone, so that outdoor fatigue is avoided, and meanwhile, the operation efficiency is also improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of remote control of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to an Internet-based remote control method for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background technique [0002] At present, the automatic driving technology of drones has become more and more mature and is being used by more and more industries. Generally, the remote control of drones is held by the operator, standing on the ground, and connecting the mobile phone with the flight control APP through USB The data line is connected to the remote control, which communicates with the drone through a radio frequency signal link, sends the operator's operating instructions to the aircraft, and receives the status information and image transmission information sent by the drone, and transmits these information to The flight control APP connected to the remote control provides pilots to view. Due to national policy restrictions, the wireless signal frequency band c...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the limitation of the wireless link between the UAV and the remote control, under ideal conditions (no occlusion, no interference), the remote control distance of the UAV is less than 8 kilometers. It must be held on the ground, so the communication link between the drone and the remote control will be blocked by objects and interfered by various other wireless signals. The actual remote control distance is greatly reduced, which affects the efficiency of the drone and may cause danger. occur

Especially in some special use scenarios, the advantages of UAV automatic driving are not reflected. The power industry substation inspection and station-to-station power line inspection, this operation mode belongs to regional, fixed airports and fixed routes. Periodic operations, in this usage scenario, the aircraft can usually take off and land automatically, and complete the operation automatically according to the set route, and then come back without human operation of the remote control. Hold the remote control in your hand and watch the aircraft perform operations, so that the advantages of autopilot will not be highlighted, which is no different from the previous manual flight operation mode

UAV multi-machine collaborative operation is an important way to improve the efficiency of UAV operations in the future. There is a traditional control method, connecting the flight control APP and the remote control through a USB data cable, so one flight control APP can only control one UAV at the same time. , unable to meet the needs of controlling multiple drones

[0005] Therefore, the existing UAV remote control technology and methods have certain limitations. The control distance is short, and the remote control needs to be hand-held. Usually, it can only be controlled in a relatively short place, and it is easy to be blocked and interfered. In addition, due to the limitation of the connection method, A flight control APP can only control one aircraft at the same time. These problems greatly reduce the operating efficiency of UAVs and restrict the development of UAVs' automatic driving technology, especially for fixed airport takeoffs and landings, and fully automatic operations with planned routes. Multi-machine collaborative operation does not reflect the advantages of automatic driving

[0006] In the traditional UAV remote control mode, the UAV and the remote control are prone to lose contact due to actual working conditions, and the aircraft is prone to danger after losing contact

[0007] In the traditional UAV remote control mode, the flight control APP needs to be connected to the remote control through a USB data cable, which means that the operator must tie the mobile phone and the remote control together and carry them on the hand during the flight. Adjust the direction of the antenna of the remote control, it is tiring to work for a long time
