[0036] The embodiments will be described in detail below, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation methods described in the following embodiments do not represent all implementation methods consistent with the present application. They are only examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the claims. In the several embodiments provided in the embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the disclosed devices and methods can also be implemented in other ways, and the device embodiments described below are merely exemplary.

[0037] The present application provides a control method for a vehicle-mounted drone, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0038] Step S110: Obtain the take-off and landing positions of the vehicle-mounted drone and the location information of each entrance and exit of the vehicle.

[0039] Exemplarily, the parking position of the vehicle-mounted drone in the vehicle can be determined by the positioning system of the vehicle-mounted drone, and the parking position can be determined as the take-off position of the vehicle-mounted drone. The driver can independently select the landing position of the vehicle-mounted drone in the vehicle on the control system of the vehicle-mounted drone. The location information of each entrance and exit of the vehicle can be determined by the vehicle model information. The driver can also independently set the available entrances and exits on the control system of the vehicle-mounted drone, and determine the location information of each entrance and exit of the vehicle in combination with the vehicle model information.

[0040] Step S120: Obtain the distances from the take-off and landing positions of the vehicle-mounted drone to the standard flight paths of the vehicle entrances and exits.

[0041] Exemplarily, the standard flight path refers to the path that the vehicle-mounted drone flies to each entrance and exit of the vehicle at the take-off and landing positions of the vehicle-mounted drone when the vehicle is empty. The distance of the standard flight path can be measured by performing a test flight on the standard flight path in advance using the distance measurement function of the vehicle-mounted drone, or by scanning the standard flight path using the infrared scanning technology of the vehicle-mounted drone to obtain the distance of the standard flight path.

[0042] Step S130: Obtain obstacle information on the above standard flight path.

[0043] Exemplarily, the obstacles may include passengers and items in the vehicle. The infrared thermal imaging technology of the vehicle-mounted drone may be used to identify whether there are passengers on the standard flight path, and the image acquisition technology of the vehicle-mounted drone may be used to collect information about obstacles on the standard flight path.

[0044] Step S140: Based on the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path, determine the exit information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone takes off and the entrance information of the vehicle for which the vehicle-mounted drone lands.

[0045] Exemplarily, when there are no obstacles on the standard flight path, the distance of the standard flight path can be compared, and based on the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path, the exit information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone takes off and the entrance information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone lands can be determined.

[0046] According to some embodiments, based on the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path, determining the exit information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone takes off and the entrance information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone lands includes:

[0047] Determining the priority of the standard flight path based on the obstacle information on the standard flight path;

[0048] Determining a destination flight path of the vehicle-mounted UAV based on the priority of the standard flight path and the distance of the standard flight path;

[0049] Based on the destination flight path of the vehicle-mounted drone, the exit information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone takes off and the entrance information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone lands are determined.

[0050] Exemplarily, when it is detected that there are no obstacles on the standard flight path, the priority of the standard flight path without obstacles can be determined according to the distance of the standard flight path. The shorter the distance, the higher the priority of the path. The standard path with no obstacles and the shortest path can be determined as the destination flight path of the vehicle-mounted UAV. Based on the destination flight path, the entrance and exit information for the take-off and landing of the vehicle-mounted UAV can be determined.

[0051] By first detecting obstacle information and then determining the priority of each standard flight path according to the distance of the above standard flight path, it can be ensured that the above vehicle-mounted drone can fly the shortest distance in the vehicle without colliding with the passengers and objects in the vehicle, thereby ensuring driving safety and saving the energy of the drone.

[0052] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned method for controlling a vehicle-mounted drone further includes:

[0053] Before the vehicle-mounted UAV lands, obtaining status information of the vehicle;

[0054] Based on the status information of the vehicle, the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path, the entrance information of the vehicle for landing the vehicle-mounted drone is determined.

[0055] Exemplarily, a preset landing time may be set, and the status information of the vehicle may be obtained within the preset landing time before the vehicle-mounted drone lands.

[0056] Obtaining the vehicle's status information can enable the drone to adjust its flight status in advance according to the vehicle's status information, avoiding collisions between the drone and the edge of the entrance when the drone flies into the vehicle, further ensuring driving safety and improving the drone's pass rate.

[0057] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned acquisition of the vehicle status information includes: the road section environment information where the vehicle is located, the vehicle head direction information and the vehicle speed information.

[0058] Exemplarily, the road environment information where the above-mentioned vehicle is located may include whether there are obstacles outside the vehicle's entrances and exits and, if there are obstacles, whether the distance to the obstacles can be measured by a drone. The road environment information where the above-mentioned vehicle is located may be obtained through the vehicle's image acquisition system, vehicle-mounted radar system and vehicle-mounted GPS positioning system.

[0059] By using the road environment information of the above-mentioned vehicle, before the vehicle-mounted UAV lands, it can be determined whether the distance between the entrance corresponding to the target flight path and the external obstacles of the vehicle can pass the UAV. If it cannot pass, the entrance can be changed to avoid the UAV colliding with obstacles around the entrance during the process of flying to the target entrance, causing the UAV to explode.

[0060] According to some embodiments, the above-mentioned method for controlling a vehicle-mounted drone further includes:

[0061] Before the vehicle-mounted UAV takes off, obtaining flight demand information of the vehicle-mounted UAV;

[0062] Based on the flight demand information of the vehicle-mounted UAV, the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path, the exit information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted UAV takes off is determined.

[0063] For example, the flight demand information of the UAV can be used in combination with the vehicle's image acquisition system, vehicle-mounted radar system and vehicle-mounted GPS positioning system to obtain environmental information about the vehicle and determine the exit through which the UAV can fly out. Among the exits through which the UAV can fly out, the exit of the vehicle for the vehicle-mounted UAV to take off can be determined based on the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path.

[0064] By combining the flight demand information of the drone, before the vehicle-mounted drone takes off, it can be determined whether the distance between the exit corresponding to the target flight path and the external obstacles of the vehicle can pass the drone. If it cannot pass, the exit can be changed to prevent the drone from flying out of the target exit and colliding with obstacles around the exit when performing the mission, causing the drone to explode.

[0065] According to some embodiments, the flight requirement information of the vehicle-mounted drone includes flight direction information of the vehicle-mounted drone.

[0066] Exemplarily, the flight direction information of the vehicle-mounted drone may be obtained according to the control system of the vehicle-mounted drone, and the flight direction information of the vehicle-mounted drone may be obtained according to the application requirements of the driver.

[0067] By obtaining the flight direction information of the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted drone, the flight state of the drone can be adjusted before the vehicle-mounted drone flies out of the vehicle, combined with the determined exit information of the vehicle-mounted drone flying out of the vehicle, to avoid the need to adjust the flight direction after flying out of the vehicle, resulting in a collision with the vehicle during the adjustment process, thereby improving the flight efficiency of the drone and ensuring driving safety.

[0068] According to some embodiments, the obstacle information on the standard flight path is obtained, including type information, location information and shape information of the obstacles on the standard flight path.

[0069] Exemplarily, obstacle information on the above-mentioned standard flight path can be obtained through the image acquisition function of the vehicle-mounted drone.

[0070] Determine the obstacle type on the above-mentioned standard flight path, obtain the location information and shape information of the obstacle, and when there are obstacles on all standard flight paths, based on the above information, if the above-mentioned obstacles are immovable obstacles, combine the size information of the UAV and the height information of the vehicle's interior space to determine whether the UAV can cross the above-mentioned obstacles by changing the flight altitude. When there are obstacles on all standard flight paths, provide the UAV with a detour strategy to ensure the smooth take-off and landing of the UAV.

[0071] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2It is a schematic structural diagram of a control device for a vehicle-mounted drone provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0074] The second acquisition module 202 is used to obtain the distances of the take-off and landing positions of the vehicle-mounted UAV to the standard flight paths of the vehicle entrances and exits;

[0075] The acquisition module 203 is used to obtain obstacle information on the above standard flight path;

[0076] The determination module 204 is used to determine the exit information of the vehicle from which the vehicle-mounted drone takes off and the entrance information of the vehicle for which the vehicle-mounted drone lands based on the distance of the standard flight path and the obstacle information on the standard flight path.

The control device of the vehicle-mounted UAV can determine the target flight path according to the obstacle information on the standard flight path and the distance of the standard flight path, thereby determining the entrance and exit for the vehicle-mounted UAV to take off and land, so as to avoid the vehicle-mounted UAV from colliding with the passengers and objects in the vehicle during the process of taking off and landing in the vehicle, causing danger and even affecting driving safety.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.
