Compared with manned aircraft, drones are often more suitable for tasks that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous". Drones can be divided into military and civilian applications according to their application areas. In the military, drones are divided into reconnaissance aircraft and target aircraft. In the civilian sector, drones plus industry applications are the real rigid demand for drones; their applications in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspections, disaster relief, film and television shooting, creating romance, etc. have greatly expanded the use of drones themselves, and developed countries are also actively expanding industry applications and developing drone technology.

[0040] The mobile terminal 2 is used to upload the information of the drone and the flight application and send them to the terminal server 1;

[0041] The monitoring terminal 3 is used to be installed on the UAV to monitor the flight time interval, flight area, flight altitude and flight speed data of the UAV in real time, and send the data to the terminal server 1 via a wireless network.

[0042] The terminal server 1 is used to register and review the information and flight application of the drone, and monitor and control the flight status of the drone.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 2 is a mobile phone app, which is used to register the drone model and drone user information, and send it to the terminal server 1 for filing. New drones need to be installed with the monitoring terminal 3, and drone users need to use the mobile terminal 2. Before using the drone, the user needs to fill out a flight application through the mobile terminal 2, specifying the flight time, flight purpose and flight area information, and send it to the mobile terminal 2 for review. After the mobile terminal 2 evaluates and approves the flight application, it sends the flight permit to the mobile terminal 2, and the drone user can take off the drone. This can avoid multiple drones flying in the same area at the same time, and avoid the no-fly zone, which will not endanger public safety and disturb the public. When flying, the monitoring terminal 3 monitors the drone. If it is found that any of the regulations in the flight permit are violated, a warning is immediately sent to the terminal server 1, and then the terminal server 1 sends a warning to the mobile terminal 2 to remind the drone user, so that the flight of the drone can be managed. It should be noted that the flight permit includes the time interval, flight area, flight altitude and flight speed data of the drone flight.

[0044] Further, the terminal server 1 includes a data processing module 11, a data receiving module 12, a data storage module 13 and a data sending module 14; the data receiving module 12 is connected to the data processing module 11; the data storage module 13 is connected to the data processing module 11; the data sending module 14 is connected to the data processing module 11;

[0047] The data storage module 13 is used to store the information of the drone, the flight application and the status data of the drone during flight;

[0048] The data sending module 14 is used to send a flight permission or a no-fly instruction to the mobile terminal 2 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the data receiving module 12 is used to receive all information sent by the mobile terminal 2 and the monitoring terminal 3, and is processed by the data processing module 11. The processing can be coordinated with manual review and evaluation, and then transferred to the data storage module 13. The data sending module 14 is used to send a flight permit or a no-fly instruction to the mobile terminal 2.

[0050] Furthermore, the terminal server 1 further comprises a communication module 15; the communication module 15 is connected to the data processing module 11;

[0051] The communication module 15 is used to send a warning text message to the mobile phone of the drone user when the flight rules are violated.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the drone violates any provision in the flight permit, the monitoring terminal 3 immediately sends a warning to the terminal server 1, and the terminal server 1 then sends a warning to the mobile terminal 2 to remind the drone user. When the drone user does not notice the warning from the mobile terminal 2, he or she can also receive a warning text message on the mobile phone.

[0053] Furthermore, the terminal server 1 further comprises a violation counting module 16; the violation counting module 16 is connected to the data processing module 11;

[0054] The violation counting module 16 is used to register the number of violations of the drone user. When the number of violations exceeds a certain number, a no-fly text message is sent to the drone user's mobile phone through the communication module 15, indicating that the drone cannot be flown before a certain date.

[0055] In this embodiment, the violation counting module 16 is used to record the number of times the user violates the regulations and when the number of times the user violates the regulations and flies the drone too many times, the communication module 15 sends a no-fly text message to the user's mobile phone, informing him that he cannot fly the drone again before a certain date.

[0056] Further, the mobile terminal 2 includes an information registration module 21, an information sending module 22 and an information receiving module 23; the information sending module 22 is connected to the information registration module 21; the information receiving module 23 is connected to the information registration module 21;

[0057] The information registration module 21 is used by drone users to register user accounts, personal information, drone models, and flight applications;

[0058] The information sending module 22 is used to send the drone user account, personal information, drone model and flight application to the terminal server 1;

[0059] The information receiving module 23 is used to receive the flight permission or no-fly instruction sent by the terminal server 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the information registration module 21 is used to register an account and register the user's identity information, telephone number, contact address and model of the drone under his name. It can also be used to fill out a flight application, and then send the above information to the terminal server 1 through the information sending module 22 for storage and filing. The information receiving module 23 is used to receive all information sent from the terminal server 1.

[0063] The status sending module 32 is used to send the detected UAV flight time interval, flight area, flight altitude and flight speed data to the terminal server 1.

[0064] In this embodiment, the terminal server 1 compares the time interval, flight area, flight altitude and flight speed data of the drone flight sent by the status sending module 32 with the flight application and flight permission to see if there are any violations.

[0065] Further, the detection module 31 includes a time detection unit 311, a positioning unit 312, a speed detection unit 313 and a height detection unit 314;

[0066] The time detection unit 311 is used to record the take-off time and landing time of the drone and obtain the time interval of the drone flight;
