Specification 2 / 8 pages 5 CN 121304012 A Detailed Description
[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this application clearer, the following describes this application in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0018] This application aims to solve the technical difficulties of drone identification, real-time monitoring of cargo loading status, dynamic verification during drone flight, and remote inspection and supervision of transported goods in conjunction with customs procedures through a drone cargo transportation identification system based on ultra-high frequency RFID technology. Therefore, this application designs a drone cargo transportation identification system, which includes a cargo subsystem, a drone subsystem, a ground base station subsystem and an anti-counterfeiting verification platform.
[0019] Wherein: a cargo subsystem, used to trigger the in-cabin reader to obtain the initial tag information of the loaded cargo; the initial tag information includes password area data; a drone subsystem, used to monitor the cargo status of the drone during transit; a ground base station subsystem, used to trigger the ground reader to obtain drone tag information; and an anti-counterfeiting verification platform, used to process the password area data.Tag authentication and anti-counterfeiting authentication of drone tag information; cargo subsystem, used to trigger the in-cabin reader to obtain the target tag information of the cargo again to determine the delivery status of the cargo.
[0020] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a drone cargo transportation identification system in one embodiment. Cargo management is realized through the cargo subsystem, with the attached electronic tag of the cargo serving as the unique identification of the cargo, and the automatic scanning of the tag ensures efficient and convenient customs clearance; drone management is realized through the drone subsystem, with the attached electronic tag of the drone serving as the identification of the drone, and the onboard tag reader monitoring the cargo's information in transit. When the identification and verification results are uniformly uploaded to the management platform, the system can realize the identification and tracking of cargo and drones, flight safety management and monitoring, privacy protection and data security, automated inventory, and improved supply chain transparency.
[0021] Therefore, this system realizes a low-altitude digital management and service platform that integrates RFID + drone system to achieve automatic identification of drones, real-time monitoring of cargo status, and seamless inspection throughout the process. Based on RFID, a virtual port is built as the core of intelligent supervision of cross-border logistics, creating an efficient cross-border logistics model of "one declaration, one inspection, and one release". The sensing technology is integrated into the business process. By integrating RFID technology into the entire business process of "loading-transportation-inspection-delivery" in drone logistics, and defining specific methods and steps for each link based on RFID scanning, a complete and automated management method is formed, rather than a fragmented application of technology.
[0022] In one embodiment, the cargo subsystem includes cargo electronic tags and a wireless communication module; the drone subsystem includes drone electronic tags, tag reading and writing devices mounted on the drone, and an airborne control unit. The tag reading and writing devices realize the information collection of cargo electronic tags and the control of the airborne control unit; the ground base station subsystem includes a ground reader and a back-end server.
[0023] Specifically, the drone subsystem includes drone electronic tags with anti-counterfeiting encryption function installed on the drone shell as drone electronic license plates, an integrated tag reading and writing device installed on the bottom of the drone, and an airborne control unit connected to the flight control system. When performing flight missions, the unique code tags of the drone and cargo are automatically dynamically bound and verified to ensure that "the cargo matches the manifest". The cargo subsystem affixes or embeds electronic tags with anti-counterfeiting and encryption functions to each piece of cargo. The tag reader / writer, mounted on the drone, triggers an in-cabin reader / writer to scan the cargo tags in real time during flight, thus collecting information from the electronic tags. Cargo tag data and status information are reported to the ground-based backend server in real time via a wireless communication module. This provides unprecedented transparency regarding the status of cargo in transit.
[0024] The ground base station subsystem includes RFID base stations set up at drone take-off and landing points and customs inspection points, as well as a backend server.Servers. RFID base stations are usually UHF devices with long-distance, multi-tag group reading capabilities. When a drone flies to its take-off and landing point or route point, it does not need to land or stop. The ground readers in the RFID base stations deployed at the site can automatically read the electronic tags of drones flying over their identification area from a distance (e.g., 15-20 meters), thereby quickly completing identity authentication, flight recording, and regulatory inspection, greatly improving the efficiency of cross-border transportation.
[0025] Therefore, the cloud-based collaborative remote inspection method in this system proposes a "ground-air-cloud" collaborative inspection method. The ground equipment is only responsible for collecting the drone's identity ID, while the complex cargo information matching and permission judgment are completed in the cloud. This method realizes non-contact, non-stop, and remote inspection of high-speed moving targets, which is a major innovation in the field of low-altitude cross-border logistics.
[0026] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2, a method for identifying cargo transport by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is provided, which is implemented through a tag anti-counterfeiting authentication system, including the following steps: Step 202, triggering the in-cabin reader to obtain the initial tag information of the loaded cargo.
[0027] Wherein, all cargo in the cabin is affixed with RFID electronic tags; the initial tag information in the RFID electronic tags includes password area data, which is data read from the User area of the electronic tag.
[0028] Specifically, as shown in FIG3, FIG3 is a schematic diagram of the principle of the UAV cargo transport identification system. After the initial loading is completed and the UAV cargo door is closed, the in-cabin reader on the UAV is triggered to work and read the initial tag information bound to all cargo in the cabin at once. The initial tag information usually contains multiple data area information, including TID area data, EPC area data, etc., as shown in FIG4. FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the data area of the cargo electronic tag in one embodiment.
[0029] In one embodiment, the cargo electronic tag shown in Figure 4, such as the C899 electronic tag, not only possesses all the functional characteristics of ordinary electronic tags, but also has a built-in unique key "fingerprint". Hardware encryption technology is used to prevent tag forgery and data tampering, providing four lines of defense (TID identifier + random number + ciphertext + special instructions) to ensure data authenticity, fundamentally eliminating the possibility of chip forgery and tampering.
[0030] Step 204: Tag authentication is performed on the password area data, and the cargo status during UAV transport is monitored.
[0031] Specifically, after reading the initial tag information, it is uploaded to the anti-counterfeiting verification platform via the wireless communication module. The anti-counterfeiting verification platform performs tag authentication on the password area data to verify the authenticity and validity of the tag. When the tag authentication is successful, the actual loaded cargo list is obtained. Finally, the UAV is triggered to perform in-transit transport based on the actual loaded cargo list. During the UAV flight, the in-cabin reader is triggered again to read the candidate tag information of the cargo during in-transit transport, and then the candidate tag information is used to determine the cargo status.The system monitors the cargo information and actual cargo list during real-time transportation by the drone to determine whether the cargo is lost, whether the cargo's "posture" has shifted, or whether it has tipped over.
[0032] In one embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting verification system software, database, and server with independently deployed HSM cryptographic machine equipment in the anti-counterfeiting verification platform can be used to implement anti-counterfeiting verification services. The HSM cryptographic machine is a host security module with modern cryptographic technology as its core, and it is a hardware device with physical security protection measures. It has an independent key management mechanism, which can encapsulate the cryptographic operation process inside it to provide secure application layer cryptographic services for business systems, including key management, message verification, data encryption, signature generation and verification, etc., to ensure the security, validity, integrity, and non-repudiation of the entire process of business data generation, transmission, reception, and processing.
[0033] Step 206: Trigger the ground reader to obtain the drone tag information and perform anti-counterfeiting authentication on the drone tag information.
[0034] Specifically, when the drone flies over the RFID checkpoint deployed on the ground, the ground reader is triggered to read the drone's electronic tag from a distance and upload the drone tag information to the anti-counterfeiting verification platform. The anti-counterfeiting verification platform performs anti-counterfeiting authentication on the data area information in the drone tag information. After the authentication is passed, the drone can be quickly inspected and released without interception. It is easy to understand that the anti-counterfeiting verification platform can be deployed in the checkpoint management system or in the back-end server or other cloud platforms. Manual 4 / 8 pages 7 CN 121304012 A
[0035] Step 208, trigger the in-cabin reader to obtain the target tag information of the cargo again to determine the delivery status of the cargo.
[0036] Specifically, when the drone arrives at the destination and the cargo door is opened, the in-cabin reader is triggered to scan the target tag information of the cargo again. If the scanned target tag information indicates "empty cargo", then the cargo "delivery successful" signal is generated by combining the relevant information of the destination and uploaded to the cloud platform, thus closing the loop of this waybill process.
[0037] In the above-mentioned UAV cargo transportation identification method, the initial tag information of the cargo is obtained by first triggering the in-cabin reader to lay the foundation for subsequent authentication and monitoring; then the tag password area data is authenticated and the status of the cargo in transit is monitored to ensure the safety of the cargo during transportation; next, the anti-counterfeiting of the UAV tag is authenticated by the ground reader to ensure the reliability of the transportation entity; finally, the target tag information is obtained to determine the delivery status, forming a perfect closed loop of initial loading - in-transit monitoring - remote verification - delivery confirmation, which improves the safety and efficiency of low-altitude logistics.
[0038] In one embodiment, tag authentication of the password area data includes: decrypting the anti-counterfeiting ciphertext to obtain plaintext including a second random number; and performing tag authentication based on the first random number and the second random number.
[0039] Wherein, the initial tag information also includes key storage area data, as shown in Figure 4; the password area data includes anti-counterfeiting...The ciphertext and the first random number; the anti-counterfeiting ciphertext is determined based on the data in the key storage area and the first random number.
[0040] Specifically, when reading the electronic tag of the loaded goods, the in-cabin reader generates a first random number before each reading operation; the first random number is sent as a parameter to the electronic tag within the radio frequency range by transmitting a radio frequency signal; the electronic tag of the loaded goods receives the radio frequency signal to charge, and after obtaining the first random number sent by the reader, it uses the built-in key in the key storage area to encrypt the first random number to obtain the anti-counterfeiting ciphertext; the electronic tag of the loaded goods stores the first random number and the generated anti-counterfeiting ciphertext in the password area, and combines it with data from other areas to send back the initial tag information to the reader. After obtaining the initial tag information, the in-cabin reader reports it to the anti-counterfeiting verification platform. The anti-counterfeiting verification platform parses the tag information of the in-cabin reader, and the verification logic is to decrypt the anti-counterfeiting ciphertext to obtain plaintext including the second random number, and check whether the first random number and the decrypted second random number are consistent. If they are consistent, the tag authentication is passed.
[0041] In this embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting ciphertext is first obtained by encrypting with a first random number, and then the plaintext containing a second random number is decrypted to achieve the tag authentication of two random numbers, thereby determining whether the drone will take off. Therefore, the dual random number verification strengthens the verification of the tag's authenticity, and combined with key protection, improves the anti-counterfeiting security and ensures the reliability of subsequent information reading.
[0042] In one embodiment, monitoring the cargo status of the drone during transit includes: obtaining the actual loaded cargo list when the tag authentication is successful, and triggering the drone to carry out transit when the actual loaded cargo list is the same as the preset task list; triggering the in-cabin reader to obtain candidate tag information of the cargo during transit according to a preset cycle; and determining the cargo status based on the candidate tag information under different cycles.
[0043] Specifically, when the tag authentication is successful, the actual loaded cargo list is obtained, and the actual loaded cargo list is compared with the preset task list. If the comparison is consistent, a verification success command is generated, authorizing the drone to carry out transit; if they are inconsistent, a verification failure alarm is generated, prompting the staff to open the cabin for re-inspection. During the drone's flight, the in-cabin reader is triggered again at preset intervals to read candidate tag information of the goods in transit. Then, based on the candidate tag information under different intervals and the actual loaded goods list, the status of the goods in transit is dynamically monitored by the drone to determine the status of the goods.
[0044] In this embodiment, the actual loaded goods list is first obtained through tag authentication. After it matches the preset task list, transportation is triggered to ensure that the order matches; then, candidate tag information of the goods in transit is obtained at preset intervals, and the status of the goods is determined based on the information of different intervals, forming a link of order verification - triggering transportation - periodic monitoring to ensure the accuracy of transportation and the safety of the goods.
[0045] In one embodiment, the cargo status is determined based on candidate tag information under different periods, including: comparing the cargo list on page 5 / 8 of the actual specification (CN 121304012 A) with the candidate tag information under different periods to determine the loss of cargo in transit; determining the signal strength changes of candidate tag information under different periods, and determining the attitude of cargo in transit based on the signal strength changes.
[0046] Wherein, cargo status includes loss status and attitude status.
[0047] Specifically, during the flight of the UAV, the in-cabin reader periodically transmits radio frequency signals and scans the cargo tags in the cabin at preset time intervals. The scan results are compared with the actual cargo list. If any cargo electronic tag is found to be missing, it is determined that cargo in transit is lost. An abnormal cargo status alarm is immediately generated, and the alarm information, lost tag ID, and current location information are uploaded to the backend server through the wireless communication module. In addition, the signal strength changes of candidate tag information under different periods are determined, and the attitude of cargo in transit is determined based on the trend of signal strength changes. For example, if the signal strength weakens, it indicates that the cargo has moved away from the in-cabin reader.
[0048] In this embodiment, by periodically scanning during flight and comparing with a baseline list of actual loaded cargo, it is possible not only to detect whether cargo has fallen off, but also to provide a data basis for future cargo attitude judgment by analyzing data such as signal strength changes, thus realizing dynamic periodic monitoring and intelligent judgment of UAV transportation in transit.
[0049] In one embodiment, UAV tag information includes identification area data; anti-counterfeiting authentication of UAV tag information includes: generating a query request and obtaining UAV waybill information; identifying the encrypted identifier in the identification area data through a preset encoding rule; and performing anti-counterfeiting authentication on the password area data based on the UAV waybill information and the encrypted identifier.
[0050] Wherein, the identification area data is the TID area data as shown in Figure 4; the preset encoding rule is the TID area encoding rule including tag type, manufacturer code, chip model and unique identification code, which can ensure global uniqueness.
[0051] Specifically, anti-counterfeiting authentication of UAV tag information is required during remote inspection. The anti-counterfeiting verification platform generates and sends query requests to the backend server and other cloud platforms to obtain the drone waybill information, cargo list, and real-time status corresponding to the drone. After confirming that the drone waybill information is correct, the anti-counterfeiting verification platform also identifies the encrypted identifier in the label area data through preset coding rules. When the encrypted identifier is read and it is confirmed that the label is encrypted, an access password is required. That is, only authorized devices can access the password area data in the drone label information. After confirming that the user has access rights to the drone, the inspection point personnel can complete the rapid inspection and release without intercepting the drone.
[0052] In this embodiment, a query request is first generated to obtain the drone waybill information, then the encrypted identifier in the identifier area data is identified according to the preset coding rule, and finally the password area data is authenticated by combining the waybill information and the encrypted identifier. This forms a multi-layer verification mechanism, effectively preventing label forgery and ensuring the authenticity of waybill and cargo information.
[0053] In one embodiment, both the initial label information and the target label information include the coding area data; the above method also includes: determining the target coding rule corresponding to the coding area data, and verifying the coding area data through the target coding rule; when the verification is passed, the shipping information in the database is changed according to the preset task list; the status of the cargo data in the coding area data is verified through the shipping information.
[0054] Wherein, the coding area data is the data read from the EPC area of the electronic tag. Referring to Figure 4, the target coding rule is the coding area EPC coding rule. Before using electronic tags to manage items, the items need to be labeled. After labeling, the coding area data information of the tag is entered into the database. The coding area is associated with the basic information of the item as a unique identifier, forming a one-item-one-code binding relationship.
[0055] Specifically, regardless of whether the goods are loaded and dispatched, transported en route, or delivered at the final stage, the remote status comparison and verification of the goods can be performed based on the tag information read from the goods' electronic tags. When loading and dispatching, the coding area data in the goods' electronic tags is scanned to determine whether the coding area data conforms to the corresponding target coding rules. If the verification is successful, the shipping information in the database will be changed according to the preset task list. Then, during the goods' transport or at the final delivery, the coding area data in the goods' electronic tags will be read again. After further determining whether the coding area data conforms to the corresponding target coding rules, the shipping information corresponding to the current goods will be compared to see if it is in the "outbound" state. If not, it is identified as goods that are not allowed to be released, goods that were missed in the statistics when loading and dispatching, or other abnormal situations; otherwise, it is allowed to be released without intercepting the drone or can be delivered directly.
[0056] In this embodiment, by repeatedly verifying the data in the coded area during transportation, and then changing the shipping information according to the order, the status of the cargo data can be verified, thereby achieving linkage verification of data, orders, and shipping status, ensuring information consistency, and improving the accuracy and standardization of cargo management.
