[0039] It is understood that, without conflict, the functions and steps marked in the flowcharts and block diagrams of this invention may occur in a different order than that marked in the accompanying drawings.

[0040] It is understood that the flowcharts and block diagrams of this invention illustrate the possible architecture, functions, and operations of systems, apparatuses, devices, and methods according to various embodiments of this invention. Each block in the flowchart or block diagram may represent a unit, module, program segment, or code, containing executable instructions for implementing the specified function. Furthermore, each block or combination of blocks in the block diagram and flowchart can be implemented using a hardware-based system to achieve the specified function, or using a combination of hardware and computer instructions.

[0041] It is understood that the units and modules involved in the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented by software or by hardware. For example, the units and modules can be located in a processor.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] This embodiment provides a method for ensuring the safety of aviation sports, applied to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0044] Step S101: During the flight of the aerial athlete, continuously follow the aerial athlete and continuously or intermittently emit ultrasonic signals to scare away birds.

[0045] In this embodiment, to avoid the problem of bird flight affecting the safety of aviation sports, a drone is used to continuously follow the aviation athlete during the flight and continuously or intermittently emit ultrasonic signals to scare away birds.

[0046] Optionally, the continuous following of the aviation athlete specifically includes:

[0047] Continuously acquire the location information of the aviation athletes;

[0048] Calculate the drone's next direction and speed based on the location information and the current wind speed;

[0049] Continue flying in the stated direction and speed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the drone can continuously acquire the location information of the aerial athlete and continuously or intermittently detect the current wind speed. Based on the athlete's location information and the current wind speed, the drone calculates its next movement and flies accordingly. Specifically, the calculation method involves determining the drone's required direction and speed while maintaining a safe following distance based on the relative position and speed of the drone and the aerial athlete. Simultaneously, the actual direction and speed of movement are adjusted based on the current wind speed and / or wind direction. For example, in XYZ space, the drone's own coordinates are (0, 0, 0), and the detected aerial athlete's coordinates are (1, 1, 1), with a movement vector of (1, 0, 0) / s. The wind movement vector is (-2, 0, 0) / s. If the safe following distance is 1 to 2 seconds, a movement vector of (3, 0, 0) / s can be directly adopted to offset the wind speed effect and match the athlete's speed.

[0051] Optionally, continuously acquiring the location information of the aviator specifically includes:

[0052] Continuously receive infrared signals transmitted by a signal transmitter, wherein the signal transmitter is mounted on the aeronaut;

[0053] The location information of the aviator is obtained based on the infrared signal.

[0054] In this embodiment, a signal transmitter can be placed on or near the aviator to continuously send infrared signals. When the drone detects the infrared signal, it obtains the aviator's infrared position information and calculates the drone's next movement pattern based on the detected current wind speed.

[0055] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0056] Send a detection signal;

[0057] The presence of abnormal flying objects within the safe zone is determined based on the detection results of the detection signals.

[0058] If an abnormal flying object is detected within the safe zone, corresponding electromagnetic information is emitted to prompt the abnormal flying object to take evasive action.

[0059] In this embodiment, the detection signals include visible light, infrared, or ultrasonic signals. Specifically, the UAV emits visible light, infrared, or ultrasonic signals to detect outwards. When abnormal flying object information (such as visible light images, ultrasonic, or infrared positions) is detected within the safe zone, electromagnetic information is emitted to inform the abnormal flying object to avoid it.

[0060] It should be noted that in actual aviation activities, the airspace is usually kept relatively clean. In order to avoid safety problems caused by other flying objects accidentally flying into the safe zone, the presence of abnormal flying objects in the safe zone can be continuously or periodically detected.

[0061] Optionally, if it is determined that an abnormal flying object exists within the security domain, the method further includes:

[0062] Information about the abnormal flying object is sent to the ground communication platform to alert the safety officer to drive away the abnormal flying object.

[0063] In this embodiment, the specific nature of the abnormal flying object can be determined based on the abnormal flying object information. Since birds have already been driven away using ultrasound, the remaining object is most likely another drone or manned aircraft. Safety personnel can communicate with the abnormal flying object using the abnormal flying object information to inform it of the abnormal situation, thereby allowing other general aviation equipment to proactively avoid the aerial vehicle.

[0064] Step S102: When it is detected that the flight path of the aviator deviates from the preset route, the landing point position is predicted;

[0065] Step S103: Send a yaw warning and the predicted landing point location to the ground communication platform to prompt the safety officer to take appropriate safety measures.

[0066] Specifically, when the flight path of the aviator is detected to deviate from the preset flight path by a certain threshold, the landing point location is predicted based on air information (such as current wind speed information), and a yaw warning and the predicted landing point location are sent to the ground communication platform so that the safety officer can take corresponding safety measures, such as evacuating people near the landing point location or organizing a rescue.

[0067] The method for ensuring the safety of aviation sports provided by this invention is the first to propose a technical solution using drones to ensure the safety of aerial athletes. During the flight of the aerial athlete, the drone continuously follows the athlete and continuously or intermittently emits ultrasonic signals to scare away birds. When the flight path of the aerial athlete is detected to deviate from the preset route, the drone predicts the landing point and sends a yaw warning and the predicted landing point to the ground communication platform to prompt the safety officer to take appropriate safety measures. This invention can ensure the safety of aviation sports through aerial bird control, route deviation warning, and landing point prediction, and solves the problem that there is currently no relevant technical solution for ensuring the safety of aerial athletes in existing aviation sports.

[0084] Optionally, if it is determined that an abnormal flying object exists within the security domain, the drone further includes:

[0085] An abnormal information sending unit is used to send abnormal flying object information to the ground communication platform to prompt the safety officer to drive away the abnormal flying object.

[0086] Optionally, the yaw prediction module 12 is specifically used for:

[0091] The memory 21 is connected to the processor 22. The memory 21 can be a flash memory, a read-only memory or other memory, and the processor 22 can be a central processing unit or a microcontroller.

[0092] Example 4:

[0093] This embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method for ensuring aviation safety described in Embodiment 1 above.

[0094] The computer-readable storage medium includes volatile or non-volatile, removable or non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storing information (such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, computer program modules, or other data). Computer-readable storage media include, but are not limited to, RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read-Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), flash memory or other memory technologies, CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory), DVD or other optical disc storage, cartridges, magnetic tapes, disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium that can be used to store desired information and is accessible to a computer.

During the flight of the aerial athlete, the drone continuously follows the athlete and continuously or intermittently emits ultrasonic signals to scare away birds; and when the flight path of the aerial athlete is detected to deviate from the preset route, the landing point is predicted, and a yaw warning and the predicted landing point are sent to the ground communication platform to prompt the safety officer to take corresponding safety measures.
