Description

[0002] In the current drone application environment, two significant technical challenges severely hinder the efficient operation and unified management of drone systems. On the one hand, drones from different brands (such as DJI and XAG) use independent and incompatible communication protocols. This protocol barrier makes information exchange and collaborative operations between drones from different brands extremely difficult, significantly limiting the integration of multi-source drone data and comprehensive management capabilities, and hindering the development of drone technology towards more intelligent and networked capabilities. On the other hand, traditional airspace management methods rely on static routing, which not only wastes airspace resources but also struggles to adapt to growing dynamic mission demands. Due to its lack of flexibility, the existing airspace management model cannot quickly respond and adjust to emergencies or temporary missions, thereby reducing the overall system's operational efficiency and service quality. Therefore, how to overcome protocol barriers, achieve seamless communication and collaboration between drones from different brands, and introduce dynamic airspace management mechanisms to improve airspace resource utilization and mission flexibility have become key issues that need to be addressed.

[0044] Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be considered as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] This embodiment provides a method for urban low-altitude AI collaborative control based on Beidou grid code and blockchain. The executor of this method can be a cloud server, which realizes the unified scheduling of multi-source heterogeneous drones in the city; and the cloud server is connected to the drone through a low-altitude intelligent flight control box. Specifically, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box is compatible with multiple drone protocols. After connecting to the drone, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box can read the drone signal and add the drone to the drone group for collaborative control after passing the drone qualification certification.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the urban low-altitude AI collaborative control method based on Beidou grid code and blockchain specifically includes:

[0048] Step S1: Obtain drone information and search for corresponding evidence records in the blockchain based on the drone information; the drone information is obtained through a low-altitude intelligent flight control box that is compatible with multiple drone protocols.

[0049] In this embodiment, blockchain is used for drone qualification registration, flight data storage, smart contract storage, rights management storage, and airspace resource tokenization. Specifically:

[0050] Use blockchain to uniquely register and manage drone qualifications, ensuring that their qualification information is authentic, unique, and cannot be forged, and making it easier for regulators or platforms to quickly identify and track them.

[0051] Among them, each drone is assigned a unique identification code (such as MAC address, serial number, etc.) when it leaves the factory, and combined with the public key infrastructure (PKI), a pair of encryption keys are generated for the drone (the private key is stored in the device, and the public key is used for on-chain registration).

[0052] The drone’s qualification information (model, serial number, owner information, registration date, etc.) is written into the blockchain smart contract in advance to form an unchangeable registration record, so that the authenticity of the drone’s qualifications can be verified through the public key and on-chain evidence records in the future to prevent illegal modification or misuse of qualifications.

[0053] At the same time, information such as changes in drone ownership, maintenance records, and flight licenses can also be updated to the blockchain through authorization to form a complete life cycle archive.

[0054] The drone’s flight data is also stored on the chain. The flight data includes key data such as location information, timestamp, flight status, and operating instructions to ensure that the data is secure and cannot be tampered with, facilitating accident investigations, responsibility determination, and compliance audits.

[0055] It should be noted that flight data can be collected in real time through the sensor module originally equipped with the drone, or through the sensors on the external low-altitude intelligent flight control box; the flight data is uploaded to the blockchain node after being encrypted locally, or processed by the drone's edge computing device and then stored on the chain.

[0056] Flight data is stored on the blockchain using a dynamic sharding strategy. Drone flight data includes information such as timestamps and geographic locations. Based on these temporal and spatial attributes, flight data can be categorized and processed. For example, data from drones active in similar geographic areas during the same time period may be assigned to the same shard for processing.

[0057] Dynamic sharding intelligently selects the most appropriate blockchain node for storing a batch of flight data based on factors such as current network load and geographic proximity. This helps improve data processing efficiency, reduce latency, and enhance system scalability. As drones traverse different airspace types, their flight data is redistributed to the appropriate blockchain storage node based on the new spatiotemporal properties, ensuring effective data management and analysis.

[0058] This embodiment predefines flight airspace types, deploys corresponding smart contracts for each flight airspace type, and submits the smart contracts to the blockchain for evidence storage.

[0059] Among them, flight airspace types include:

[0060] Controlled airspace: Only government-authorized drones (such as police and emergency services) are allowed to fly, and secondary encryption authentication is required.

[0061] Surveillance airspace: Commercial drone operations (logistics, inspection) are open and flight data must be transmitted back to the regulatory platform in real time.

[0062] Reported airspace: Personal drone flights are allowed, but electronic fences must be opened and flight altitudes must be restricted (≤120 meters).

[0063] For each type of airspace, a specially designed smart contract is pre-deployed to define the corresponding rules. Specifically, in this embodiment, the smart contract defines flight data storage rules, access control mechanisms, and conflict detection. For example, controlled airspace may require more frequent flight data storage, stricter access control, and immediate conflict detection; while reporting airspace may only require simple pre-flight reports and post-flight summaries.

[0064] The permission control mechanism can be implemented through digital qualification authentication on the blockchain, and only authorized entities can access or modify specific data.

[0065] The conflict detection function can utilize the logical processing capabilities of smart contracts to predict potential collision risks by comparing the flight paths, speeds and other parameters of different drones in the smart contract, and automatically issue warnings or adjustment suggestions.

[0066] In this embodiment, airspace resource tokenization refers to improving the efficiency and transparency of airspace use by converting flight airspace into digital assets (tokens) that can be traded, managed, and distributed on the blockchain. The implementation of airspace resource tokenization is as follows:

[0067] First, the airspace needs to be carefully divided, taking into account factors such as altitude, geographical location, and time, to form multiple "airspace units." Each unit represents a specific three-dimensional spatial area within a specific time period.

[0068] Determine the attributes of each airspace unit, such as usage authority (commercial / private), maximum permitted flight altitude, maximum speed limit, etc.

[0069] Choose the appropriate token type based on your needs. For example, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are used to represent unique or limited airspace usage rights, while homogeneous tokens (FTs) are suitable for a large number of similar airspace units. Define the rules for token behavior through smart contracts, including but not limited to the creation, transfer, and destruction of airspace units, verification logic for usage rights, and conflict detection and resolution mechanisms.

[0070] Dynamic pricing strategies (auction, fixed price, etc.).

[0071] In this embodiment, airspace use rights tokens can be issued to users through auction, lottery, or pre-allocation. A blockchain-based trading platform allows users to conveniently buy, sell, lease, or exchange airspace use rights tokens. Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that all airspace use rights information is updated promptly within the blockchain network and that all nodes are synchronized to ensure data consistency and accuracy.

[0072] After completing the aforementioned blockchain evidence storage, a drone's qualifications can be verified through the stored records. When a drone connected to the low-altitude intelligent flight control box initiates a verification request, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box can obtain drone information, such as the drone's serial number and MAC address, and construct a query request. The query request is sent to any node or full node in the blockchain. Based on the query criteria, all historical records containing the drone's qualifications are extracted from the blockchain, which serves as the basis for qualification verification.

[0073] It should be noted that since the data on the blockchain has a timestamp and hash value, it can be traced back to the earliest qualification registration record and ensures that the data has not been tampered with since its creation.

[0074] Step S2: Automatically verify the qualifications of the drone through evidence records. If the drone passes the qualification certification, it will be included in the distributed collaborative management and control network for unified scheduling.

[0075] Qualification verification uses the signature provided by the drone (generated using its private key) to verify whether it matches the corresponding public key stored on the blockchain. If so, this proves that the drone possesses the correct private key, thereby confirming its legal status. After passing qualification authentication, the drone can join the distributed collaborative control network, which is composed of a group of legally qualified drones. All drones in the distributed collaborative control network are centrally scheduled by the cloud server, ensuring controllability, observability, and traceability of their flight status, mission execution, and airspace behavior.

[0076] Step S3: Obtain an airspace map, set flight permissions according to the airspace classification of the airspace map, and generate corresponding geographic fences based on the flight permissions to limit the flight range of each drone in the distributed collaborative control network.

[0077] The cloud server obtains the latest airspace map from the aviation management department under the premise of authorization. The airspace map contains the latest airspace classification information, such as the latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude restrictions, usage time, etc. of airspace classifications such as controlled airspace, monitored airspace, and reported airspace.

[0078] Within a given airspace range of the airspace map, several four-dimensional grid cells are divided according to the specified spatial resolution (such as 0.01°×0.01°×100 meters) and time granularity (such as every 5 minutes), where the four dimensions include longitude, latitude, altitude and time.

[0079] The coordinates of the center point of each four-dimensional grid cell are normalized, and the Beidou grid code generation algorithm is used to generate the corresponding BGC code. The time window information is appended to the BGC identifier to form a complete four-dimensional identifier. By classifying a series of Beidou grid identifiers as "allowed" or "forbidden" and combining them with time window constraints, a logical geofencing strategy is constructed.

[0080] During the flight of the drone, the location information reported by the drone is received in real time, parsed into the current BGC unit, and the fence status is checked in combination with the timestamp; if there is a violation, an alarm is triggered, the drone returns to the airframe, or even remotely takes over.

[0081] In this embodiment, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box can be directly integrated with a real-time updated airspace map. Through the Beidou / 5G-A positioning function of the low-altitude intelligent flight control box, it can automatically identify no-fly zones and restricted-fly zones, and synchronize with the local government's airspace management platform to trigger forced return or landing in case of illegal flight.

[0082] Step S4: Based on the Beidou grid code, the airspace map is divided into space-time grids of specified resolution according to the time and space dimensions. The state information of each grid cell in the space-time grid is analyzed based on the AI reinforcement learning engine, and the flight path of each drone in the distributed collaborative control network is dynamically optimized to generate the optimal route for each drone.

[0083] While constructing the geo-fence, this embodiment also divides the airspace map into centimeter-level spatiotemporal grids based on the BeiDou grid code. Each grid cell in the centimeter-level spatiotemporal grid can be uniquely identified as a four-dimensional coordinate, consisting of the ground horizontal position (x, y), altitude (z) and timestamp (t). A unique identifier is generated for each grid cell in combination with the BeiDou grid code (BGC). At the same time, data is collected in real time through a sensor network (such as radar, ADS-B, LiDAR) to obtain the status information of each grid cell. The status information includes static attributes (whether it is inside a building, whether it is a no-fly zone, whether it belongs to infrastructure (such as a high-voltage line)), dynamic attributes (real-time flight density, meteorological conditions (wind speed, air pressure), visibility, emergencies (such as fire)), and control strategies (whether a specific type of drone is allowed to enter, whether Token authorization is required, or whether it is temporarily closed).

[0084] The AI reinforcement learning engine in this embodiment mainly includes a multi-machine path planning module, a conflict detection model, and a dynamic priority scheduling module. Specifically:

[0085] The multi-machine path planning module is used to perform multi-machine path planning for the drone swarm based on the state information of each grid cell through a pre-trained reinforcement learning model, and generate a flight route for each drone.

[0086] The reinforcement learning model in this embodiment can be trained by pre-collecting a large amount of historical flight data, including flight records under different weather conditions and traffic densities; pre-defining the reinforcement learning environment, including the drone's state space (position, speed, direction, etc.), action space (changing course, adjusting speed, etc.), and reward function (such as minimizing total flight time, avoiding collisions, etc.). Training is performed using algorithms such as Deep Q Network (DQN), Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), or distributed distributed reinforcement learning (such as A3C).

[0087] For each drone, input its starting point, target point and the status information of the current grid cell (such as obstacles, the position of other drones, etc.), and use the pre-trained model to output a preliminary flight route.

[0088] The conflict detection model is used to perform conflict detection on the flight path of each drone in the drone swarm, predict the probability of conflict between drones, and dynamically adjust the flight path of the drone swarm to ensure conflict-free flight when the probability of conflict is higher than a threshold.

[0089] The conflict detection model needs to pre-set the criteria for potential conflict between two drones, such as the distance being less than a certain threshold, and being expected to arrive at the same grid cell at the same time.

[0090] During the drone's flight mission, the positions of all drones are continuously monitored, and the presence of conflict risks is determined based on the prediction model. By analyzing the velocity vectors, current positions and expected trajectories of the two drones, the probability of their collision at some point in the future is calculated.

[0091] If the predicted collision probability exceeds a set threshold, a re-route mechanism is triggered. Local obstacle avoidance algorithms (such as RRT* and APF) can be used to quickly find an alternative path, or the reinforcement learning model can be used again to generate a new flight plan. Adjustments must take into account the overall efficiency of the entire drone swarm to avoid chain reactions in the path.

[0092] The dynamic priority scheduling module is used to dynamically evaluate the priority of each UAV according to its status factors, allocate airspace resources based on the priority, and finally output the optimal route for each UAV.

[0093] Priority assessment considers status factors such as urgency, remaining drone battery / fuel, payload, and flight performance. Each drone is assigned a priority score based on these status factors. Using a greedy algorithm or other optimization algorithm, airspace resources are allocated as fairly as possible while meeting the basic needs of each drone. High-priority drones are given priority to occupy favorable routes; for low-priority drones, suboptimal routes that do not compromise overall safety are sought.

[0094] Finally, AI analysis takes into account the results of all these aspects and generates a final optimal route for each drone. This includes not only the basic path from the starting point to the destination, but also backup plans for unexpected situations, ensuring efficient and safe operations throughout the flight.

[0095] In another embodiment, there may be drones that fly independently in the urban airspace without registering with the system. These drones are considered "illegal flights". The existence of "illegal flights" will disrupt the order of the airspace and affect the normal flight of other registered drones, resulting in collisions or flight behaviors that endanger public safety.

[0096] In order to solve the problem of "illegal flying", the cloud server generates an inspection request at a specified time, generates a lighting instruction based on the inspection request and sends it to each drone in the distributed collaborative management and control network. Among them, the drone can receive the lighting instruction through the connected low-altitude intelligent flight control box and control the drone to flash the lights according to the predetermined pattern corresponding to the lighting instruction, and even feedback the real-time status of the drone through the flashing of the light.

[0097] For example, the green light flashes when the operation is normal, the yellow light flashes when the aircraft is in hovering state, and the SOS signal flashes when the aircraft is in emergency state.

[0098] Abnormal drones are identified by comparing the responses of each drone to the light-on command. For example, if some drones are unable to perform the light-on operation corresponding to the light-on command, it can be considered that the drone is an "illegal" drone that has not been registered with the network and is marked as an abnormal drone. Interference operations are performed on the abnormal drone, including position tracking, establishing a direct communication link, or sending interference signals to the abnormal drone to make it land safely.

[0099] This embodiment connects to the drone through a low-altitude intelligent flight control box. The low-altitude intelligent flight control box is compatible with different drone protocols and can communicate with drones of different brands to achieve unified qualification certification for drones across brands, solving the problem that the communication protocols of drones of different brands (such as DJI and XAG) are not interoperable and unified management and control cannot be achieved. It also automatically reviews drone qualifications through blockchain evidence records to improve drone flight safety. It combines the Beidou grid code to dynamically divide airspace resources and the AI agent algorithm to optimize route planning in real time, and quickly plans multiple flight routes for different drones in the same airspace, so as to achieve orderly management of airspace use and improve airspace utilization efficiency.

[0100] Example 2

[0101] This embodiment provides an urban low-altitude AI collaborative control system based on Beidou grid code and blockchain, which mainly includes a low-altitude intelligent flight control box and a cloud server.

[0102] Among them, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box is used to connect to the drone; the cloud server communicates with the drone connected to the low-altitude intelligent flight control box through a wireless network, wherein the cloud server executes the urban low-altitude AI collaborative control method based on Beidou grid code and blockchain as described in Example 1. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2Here, a represents the cloud server, c represents the drone, and b represents the low-altitude intelligent flight control box connected to the drone.

[0103] It should be noted that the module functions of the cloud server can be found in the corresponding description of the urban low-altitude AI collaborative control method based on Beidou grid code and blockchain in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] In this embodiment, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box installed outside the drone includes a multi-modal chipset to implement flight command proxy execution and local emergency decision-making. Specifically:

[0105] like Figure 3 As shown, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box includes:

[0106] The blockchain encryption chip has a standardized interface compatible with multiple drone protocols. It connects to drones through the standardized interface to obtain drone information, and records the drone information in the blockchain after encryption to ensure that the information cannot be tampered with. Among them, drone information includes drone qualification information, flight data, flight control instructions, etc.

[0107] The edge computing chip is used to make obstacle avoidance decisions based on preset rules when local sensors detect obstacles during flight. It then collaborates with cloud servers via wireless networks to request path replanning. This embodiment of the edge computing chip supports local obstacle avoidance decisions within 0.3 seconds, avoiding the difficulty of handling sudden obstacle avoidance requests associated with traditional centralized cloud-based scheduling, often due to end-to-cloud communication delays. This reduces cloud-based reliance.

[0108] The dual-mode positioning chip uses RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) combined with the Beidou dual-mode chip to achieve dynamic centimeter-level positioning, greatly enhancing the operational performance of drones and other applications in a variety of complex environments. It not only improves positioning accuracy, but also enhances the robustness and adaptability of the system, broadening its application scope.

[0109] The optical signal module features multiple LED lights, which can be either the drone's original LEDs or additional LEDs added to the circuit board of the low-altitude intelligent flight control box. The optical signal module controls these LEDs to provide feedback on the drone's flight status. It also receives lighting commands from a cloud server and switches the lighting status of the multiple LEDs accordingly, thereby enabling the detection of illegal flights.

[0110] In addition, the low-altitude intelligent flight control box can also realize the following functions:

[0111] The low-altitude intelligent flight control box can also include an identity authentication chip. When the low-altitude intelligent flight control box is connected to the drone, the identity of the drone owner is authenticated, so that the actual owner of the drone is responsible for the flight behavior of the drone after the shortlisted application, and becomes a qualified cooperative flight user.

[0112] The low-altitude intelligent flight control box monitors the status of various aircraft components in real time through its built-in sensor network (IMU, GPS, barometer, gyroscope, battery management system, motor drive module, etc.). Furthermore, drones connected to the low-altitude intelligent flight control box can also perform delegated flight operations according to system schedules or operate autonomously in manual mode within designated areas, enabling them to adapt to both automated scheduling and flexible user control.

[0113] This embodiment's low-altitude intelligent flight control box works in conjunction with a cloud server that implements a collaborative drone control method. This system uses blockchain to achieve unified identity authentication across drone brands. It dynamically allocates airspace resources using Beidou grid codes, and an AI agent algorithm optimizes route planning in real time. The low-altitude intelligent flight control box incorporates a built-in multimodal chipset that supports edge computing for emergency obstacle avoidance and optical signal status feedback, addressing challenges such as illegal flight identification, airspace conflicts, and large-scale dispatching.

[0114] After experiments, this system has been applied to scenarios such as urban logistics and emergency rescue. The airspace utilization rate has increased by 300% and the accident rate has dropped to 0.02 times per 10,000 flights.

Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device includes: a memory 100 and a processor 200. The memory 100 stores a computer program that can be executed on the processor 200. When the processor 200 executes the computer program, it implements the urban low-altitude AI collaborative control method based on Beidou grid code and blockchain in the above embodiment. The number of memory 100 and processor 200 can be one or more.
