[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a method, system, device, storage medium and application for flight suspension and resumption. Background Art

[0002] During the formation flight performance of aircraft, there are specific scenes and special requirements in some specific occasions, where the entire formation of aircraft needs to temporarily stop performing. In normal formation performances, a complete set of dance steps usually runs without a pause and resumption function, which brings some difficulties to some performance requirements and makes the overall operation not flexible enough. Designing a solution that can support one-key pause and resume of the formation aircraft dance step performance has become a problem that needs to be solved currently.

[0003] Through the above analysis, the problems and defects of the prior art are as follows: When the prior art formation aircraft performs dance steps, it only supports selecting to fly through the entire process of dance steps or making a full-aircraft landing when problems occur during the flight; in some stages that require pauses or delays, it is very troublesome or even inoperable to re-arrange the entire process of dance steps after landing, directly resulting in a very poor experience in commercial applications and actual operations.

[0008] S3, Receive a one-key pause instruction sent by the ground station;

[0009] S4, The formation aircraft starts to hover after a period of time, and each aircraft uses the current dance step waypoint to save the hovering state;

[0010] S5, The formation aircraft receives a one-key resume instruction, and after a period of time, the aircraft starts to execute the subsequent waypoints of the dance steps and continues the full-process dance step performance;

[0011] S6, After the full-process dance step performance ends, the formation aircraft lands.

[0012] In one embodiment, in step S4, the cluster of aircraft begins to hover after a period of time. The aircraft uses the current dance step waypoint. Saving the hover state includes:

[0013] After the aircraft receives the pause instruction, the aircraft calculates the time sent by the ground station to pause. During the pause, the waypoints flown by each aircraft are fixed at points of their respective longitude, latitude, and altitude, and the cluster of aircraft pauses.

[0014] During the aircraft's calculation of the time sent by the ground station to pause, the UTC time of the current aircraft is taken and compared with the UTC time sent by the ground station. When the UTC time of the aircraft grows larger than the UTC time of the ground station, the instruction is executed.

[0015] Before reaching the specific UTC time configured by the ground station, the cluster of aircraft still flies according to the original predetermined trajectory.

[0016] After the pause, if the cluster of aircraft receives a landing instruction, the cluster of aircraft starts to descend and land from the waypoint at the pause position; or the cluster of aircraft is landed in batches.

[0017] In one embodiment, in step S5, after the pause, if the cluster of aircraft receives a resume instruction, the cluster of aircraft continues to execute the flight of the subsequent waypoints starting from the pause waypoint.

[0018] In one embodiment, the period of time mentioned in steps S4 and S5 is a set value of 10 s after compensating for the communication time.

[0019] In one embodiment, the method for the formation cluster of aircraft to pause and resume during dance performance flight further includes the following steps:

[0020] Step 1, the cluster of aircraft takes off and performs the formation aircraft dance performance.

[0021] Step 2, the individual aircrafts mark the current waypoint in real time.

[0022] Step 3, the ground station sends a one-key pause instruction, and the cluster of aircraft obtains the pause instruction.

[0023] Step 4, the cluster of aircraft executes the waypoint at the current position until it receives the next control instruction.

[0024] Step 5, if a one-key landing instruction from the ground station is received, jump to step 6; execute step 7;

[0025] Step 6, if a one-key resume instruction from the ground station is received, execute the following steps: obtain the resume time, the individual aircrafts continue to execute the waypoints in the dance file at the specified time, the performance state of the cluster of aircraft is restored. If the dance has not been completed, jump to step 2; if the dance has been completed, execute step 7;

[0026] Step 7, the formation aircraft lands and the whole process performance ends.

[0047] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific implementation disclosed below.

[0048] 1. Explanation of the embodiment:

[0049] The embodiment of the present invention provides a design scheme for pausing and resuming pictures during a flight dance performance of a formation aircraft group, which realizes some specific commercial needs and improves the operational experience and the audience's viewing experience.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for pausing and resuming flight of a dance performance of a formation aircraft group provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0052] S101, the aircraft receives the take-off instruction;

[0053] S102, the fleet of aircraft begins to fly, and each aircraft flies to the designated location in real time according to the dance waypoints;

[0054] S103, the ground station sends a one-key pause command;

[0055] S104, the aircraft in the fleet starts to hover after a period of time, and the aircraft uses the current dance waypoint and saves the hovering state;

[0056] S105: The aircraft receives a one-key recovery command. After a period of time, the aircraft starts to execute the subsequent waypoints of the dance and continues the full-process dance performance.

[0057] S106, the full dance performance ends and the plane lands.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] Based on the method for pausing and resuming the dance performance flight of a formation aircraft group provided in Example 1, further, in step S104, the aircraft in the formation aircraft group start to hover after a period of time, and the aircraft use the current dance waypoint to save the hovering state, including executing the following instructions:

[0060] You can choose to switch to landing mode or land the aircraft in batches;

[0061] The dance performance can be resumed, and the aircraft will continue to complete the flight according to the subsequent dance steps.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S104, the actual principle of the aircraft dance flight is as follows:

[0063] The entire aircraft group flies according to the designed trajectory waypoints. At the beginning of the flight, the overall flight path is preset.

[0064] After the aircraft receives the pause instruction, the aircraft calculates the time sent by the ground station and pauses. At the pause moment, it is equivalent to the waypoint of the aircraft flight being fixed at a point with a fixed longitude, latitude and altitude, that is, the aircraft realizes the pause, and the aircraft group realizes the pause.

[0065] Before reaching the specific UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) time configured by the ground station, the aircraft in the group still fly according to the original trajectory.

[0066] After the pause, if the aircraft receives the landing instruction, the aircraft starts to descend and land from the waypoint at the pause position.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present invention, in step S105, after the pause, if the aircraft receives the resume instruction, the aircraft continues to execute the subsequent waypoints from the paused waypoint.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present invention, when realizing the overall stop and operation of the aircraft group, because there is a delay in communication itself, it may be 2 seconds later when a certain aircraft receives the instruction. At this time, it is necessary to compensate for the communication time. The compensation is set to 10 seconds according to experience. Therefore, when the ground station sends the pause and resume instructions, in fact, the entire aircraft group executes the corresponding instructions 10 seconds later.

[0069] Embodiment 3

[0070] As Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for the flight pause and resume of the formation aircraft group's aircraft dance performance, including the following steps:

[0071] Step 1, the aircraft in the group take off and perform the formation aircraft dance performance;

[0072] Step 2, the individual aircraft mark the current waypoint in real time;

[0073] Step 3, the ground station sends a one-key pause instruction, and the aircraft in the group obtain the pause instruction;

[0074] Step 4, the aircraft in the group execute the waypoint at the current position until they receive the next control instruction;

[0075] Step 5, if receiving the one-key landing instruction from the ground station, jump to step 6; execute step 7;

[0076] Step 6, if a one-key recovery instruction from the ground station is received, perform the following steps: Obtain the recovery time, and the aircraft will continue to execute the waypoints of the dance file at the specified time for the individual aircraft. The performance state of the aircraft fleet is restored. If the dance has not been completed, jump to Step 2; if the dance has been completed, perform Step 7;

[0077] Step 7, the aircraft fleet lands and the entire performance process ends.
