[0039] In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular architectures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application can be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known methods, devices, and circuits are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail. Moreover, descriptions of well-known

[0040] Now many cities have begun to use police unmanned aerial vehicles to shoot illegal situations on the road, such as users talking on the phone, looking at mobile phones, using chat software or not wearing seat belts, etc. If the user does not regulate his driving behavior, he may be subject to demerit points and fines. Moreover, some illegal personnel will use civilian unmanned aerial vehicles to follow vehicles in an attempt to take pictures of the user's privacy. As can be seen, the user of the vehicle may be monitored by the unmanned aerial vehicle, resulting in various disturbances.

[0041] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring prompting method, device, vehicle-mounted terminal and vehicle, which can prompt the user when the vehicle may be monitored by the unmanned aerial vehicle, so as to regulate the user's behavior in time and reduce the disturbance to the user. For more specific technical implementation details of the embodiments of the present application, please refer to the various method embodiments described below.

[0042] It should be understood that the execution subject of each method embodiment of the present application can be various types of electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, vehicle-mounted terminals, augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) devices, notebook computers, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPC), netbooks, personal digital assistants (PDA), etc. The specific type of the electronic device is not limited by the embodiments of the present application. Considering that the technical solution of the present application is mainly to remind the user of the vehicle of the unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring, the execution subject of each method embodiment can usually be a vehicle-mounted terminal provided by the vehicle.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring prompting method provided by the embodiments of the present application, comprising:

[0044] 101、if the unmanned aerial vehicle exists in the area where the vehicle is located is detected by the radar device, the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is identified;

[0045] In the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the vehicle is provided with a radar device for capturing signals of the unmanned aerial vehicle. In order to obtain better unmanned aerial vehicle signal capture effect, the radar device can be usually installed at the top of the vehicle or the like, and a radar device specially used for detecting unmanned aerial vehicles, i.e., an unmanned aerial vehicle radar, can be used. The electromagnetic wave signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be conveniently detected by using the unmanned aerial vehicle radar, and various parameters such as the brand, type, model, position, speed, distance, angle and height of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be identified according to the electromagnetic wave signal. The unmanned aerial vehicle radar has advantages of high resolution, multi-frequency band operation and full coverage, etc. The high resolution means that the detailed features of the low-altitude flying target can be clearly distinguished, for example, the model and size of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be accurately identified. The multi-frequency band operation means that different meteorological conditions and electromagnetic environments can be adapted, for example, the monitoring performance can still be maintained in bad weather. The full coverage means that the monitoring range covers 360° of each direction, there is no monitoring blind area, and the low-altitude flying target coming from each direction can be captured in time.

[0046] As an example, the device parameters of a certain model of unmanned aerial vehicle radar are shown in Table 1 as follows:

[0047] Table 1

[0048]

[0049]

[0050] When the vehicle is driving on the road, whether there is an unmanned aerial vehicle in the area where the vehicle is located can be detected by the radar device. Specifically, all low-altitude flying targets in the sky around the vehicle within the detection range can be detected by the radar device, i.e., the unmanned aerial vehicle near the vehicle can be detected, and whether there is an unmanned aerial vehicle in the area where the vehicle is located can be determined by capturing the electromagnetic wave signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0051] If it is detected by the radar device that there is an unmanned aerial vehicle in the area where the vehicle is located, the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is further identified. The type of the unmanned aerial vehicle can include public, police and civilian, etc. In actual operation, the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be identified in various different ways. For example, the image of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be captured by the external camera of the vehicle, and then the type of the captured unmanned aerial vehicle can be determined by image analysis identification based on different image features of different types of unmanned aerial vehicles. For another example, the electromagnetic wave signal of the captured unmanned aerial vehicle can be analyzed, and the device information attached thereto can be extracted, so as to determine the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0052] In an implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is identified, including:

[0053] The type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is identified according to the frequency band of the electromagnetic wave signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0054] Since different types of unmanned aerial vehicles generally have their respective independent frequency bands, the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be identified according to the frequency band of the electromagnetic wave signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, assuming that a public unmanned aerial vehicle has its independent frequency band f1-f2, a police unmanned aerial vehicle has its independent frequency band f3-f4, and a civilian unmanned aerial vehicle has its independent frequency band f5-f6, the vehicle terminal can pre-store the independent frequency band corresponding to each type of unmanned aerial vehicle. After capturing an unmanned aerial vehicle X by the radar device, the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle X can be accurately identified by judging whether the electromagnetic wave signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle X is in the independent frequency band corresponding to the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, if the electromagnetic wave signal of the unmanned aerial vehicle X is in the frequency band f5-f6, it can be determined that the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle X is civilian.

[0055] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, if there are multiple vehicles in the same area range and the multiple vehicles are all installed with radar devices, a radar matrix can be obtained by combining the radar devices to improve the detection range and detection accuracy of the radar, and further improve the success rate and accuracy of capturing the unmanned aerial vehicle. Specifically, the vehicle terminal of each vehicle can detect the unmanned aerial vehicle by using the radar matrix, and the obtained unmanned aerial vehicle detection result can be uploaded to the cloud server. The cloud server sends the unmanned aerial vehicle detection result to other vehicles in the area range, so as to realize the exchange and sharing of the unmanned aerial vehicle detection data.

[0056] 102. According to the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the user of the vehicle is prompted accordingly.

[0057] After determining the type of the captured unmanned aerial vehicle, the user of the vehicle is prompted accordingly according to the type, that is, different types of unmanned aerial vehicles can be prompted differently. For example, if the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is public, the unmanned aerial vehicle generally happens to pass by for executing a specified task and does not affect the user of the vehicle, so no prompt is needed. If the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is police, the unmanned aerial vehicle can be used to capture road violations, so the user can be prompted to pay attention to standard driving because of the unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring. If the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is civilian, the unmanned aerial vehicle can follow the vehicle to take pictures of the user's privacy, so the user can be prompted that there can be unmanned aerial vehicle taking pictures and pay attention to the protection of personal privacy. In actual operation, the vehicle terminal can prompt the user in various ways, such as playing prompt content by voice or displaying prompt content on the central control screen of the vehicle, etc.

[0058] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, according to the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the user of the vehicle is prompted accordingly, including:

[0059] (1) If the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle is police, the user of the vehicle is prompted to pay attention to standard driving behavior;

[0060] (2) If the type of the UAV is civilian, the user of the vehicle is prompted to pay attention to privacy security.

[0061] If the type of the UAV is police, the UAV can be taking a snapshot of a road violation, and in this case, the user of the vehicle needs to be prompted to pay attention to standard driving behavior. Specifically, the police UAV can take a snapshot of the user talking on the phone, looking at the mobile phone, using a chat software, eating, playing with others, and not wearing a seat belt, etc. If the user of the vehicle does not have good driving habits, it is easy to be caught violating the rules, resulting in demerit points and fines, etc. For this case, the vehicle terminal can prompt the user of the vehicle to pay attention to standard driving behavior, such as please wear a seat belt, do not use a mobile phone in the car, and please focus on driving, etc. This can reduce the probability of the user being caught violating the rules, and also correct the user's driving habits and improve the safety of the driving process.

[0062] If the type of the UAV is civilian, the UAV can be following the vehicle to take a snapshot of the user's privacy, and in this case, the user of the vehicle needs to be prompted to pay attention to privacy security. Specifically, the civilian UAV can take a snapshot of the user's indecent actions and the communication actions with other people in the car, etc. This snapshot can threaten the user's privacy security. For this case, the vehicle terminal can prompt the user of the vehicle to pay attention to privacy protection and avoid exposing privacy. This can reduce the probability of the user's privacy being caught, thereby improving the user's privacy security.

[0063] In addition, if the radar device detects that there are multiple UAVs in the area where the vehicle is located, the user can be prompted accordingly for each type of UAV. For example, if a police UAV and a civilian UAV are detected near the vehicle, the user can be prompted to pay attention to standard driving behavior and privacy security.

[0064] In some cases, the police UAV can just happen to pass through the area where the vehicle is located, and is not taking a snapshot of a road violation. In this case, if the user of the vehicle is still prompted, it will cause unnecessary disturbance to the user. For this case, the navigation system of the vehicle can be combined to make a judgment and distinction.

[0065] In one implementation of the embodiments of the application, if the type of the UAV is police, the user of the vehicle is prompted to pay attention to standard driving behavior, including:

[0066] (1) If the type of the UAV is police, the navigation system of the vehicle is used to determine whether the vehicle enters the area patrolled by the UAV;

[0067] (2) If the vehicle enters the area patrolled by the UAV, the user of the vehicle is prompted to pay attention to standard driving behavior.

[0068] When it is detected that there is a police drone in the area where the vehicle is located, the current position of the vehicle can be detected through the navigation system of the vehicle, so as to determine whether the vehicle has entered the area patrolled by the drone. Since the area patrolled by the drone is usually the working area of the police drone performing the task of taking pictures, when it is found that the vehicle has entered the area patrolled by the drone, the detected police drone is probably the on-duty drone performing the task of taking pictures, and therefore the user of the vehicle needs to be prompted to pay attention to the standard driving behavior. Conversely, if the vehicle does not enter the area patrolled by the drone, the detected police drone is probably not the on-duty drone performing the task of taking pictures, and therefore the user does not need to be prompted to avoid disturbing the user. By such a setting, the accuracy of prompting the user can be effectively improved, and unnecessary disturbance to the user can be avoided. In addition, if the vehicle is not provided with a radar device, the navigation system can also be used to prompt the monitoring of the drone, for example, if it is detected through the navigation system that the vehicle has entered the area patrolled by the drone, the vehicle terminal can prompt the user that the current vehicle has entered the area patrolled by the drone, and please pay attention to the standard driving behavior and the protection of privacy and security.

[0069] Similarly, in many cases, the civilian drone may also just happen to pass through the area where the vehicle is located, and is not following the vehicle to take pictures of the privacy of the user. If the user of the vehicle is still prompted in this case, the user will also be unnecessarily disturbed.

[0070] To solve this problem, after detecting that there is a civilian drone in the area where the vehicle is located, it is necessary to further identify whether the civilian drone is following the vehicle to take pictures, so as to improve the accuracy of prompting the user. In an implementation manner of an embodiment of the present application, if the type of the drone is civilian, the user of the vehicle is prompted to pay attention to the privacy and security, including:

[0071] (1) If the type of the drone is civilian, the distance between the drone and the vehicle is detected through the radar device.

[0072] (2) If the distance between the drone and the vehicle is less than the first threshold value for a time greater than the second threshold value, the user of the vehicle is prompted to pay attention to the privacy and security.

[0073] Upon detecting the presence of a civilian drone in the area where the vehicle is located, radar equipment can first detect the distance between the drone and the vehicle. If the detected distance is less than a first threshold (e.g., 100 meters), it indicates that the drone is close to the vehicle, and a timer begins. If the duration of this distance being less than the first threshold exceeds a second threshold (e.g., 5 minutes), it can be assumed that the drone is following the vehicle and secretly filming, thus prompting the vehicle's occupant to be aware of their privacy. Conversely, if the drone is far from the vehicle, or if it is only close to the vehicle for a short period, it can be assumed that the drone is not following the vehicle, and therefore, no notification is necessary. This setup effectively improves the accuracy of notifications to users and avoids unnecessary disturbance.

[0074] As an example, such as Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic of a drone notification process provided in an embodiment of this application. Vehicle users can operate the drone notification function via the in-vehicle terminal to enable or disable it. When the drone notification function is enabled, if a drone is detected in the area where the vehicle is located by radar equipment, the type of drone is identified. If the drone is a public drone, no notification is given to the user; if the drone is a police drone, the user is prompted to drive safely via voice or the central control screen; if the drone is a civilian drone, the distance between the civilian drone and the vehicle, as well as the duration of the drone's following the vehicle, are detected. If the distance between the civilian drone and the vehicle is far or the duration of the drone's following the vehicle is short, no notification is given to the user; if the distance between the civilian drone and the vehicle is close and the duration of the drone's following the vehicle is long, the user is prompted to pay attention to privacy and security.

[0075] Considering that the radar equipment installed on the vehicle can not only capture the electromagnetic wave signals of the drone, but also transmit electromagnetic wave signals to the drone, when a civilian drone is found to be following the vehicle and taking pictures secretly, in addition to reminding the user to pay attention to privacy and security, the radar equipment can also transmit countermeasure signals to the civilian drone to force it to stop the secret filming behavior. This can fundamentally eliminate the threat to the user's privacy and security.

[0076] In one implementation of this application, if the duration of the distance between the drone and the vehicle being less than a first threshold is greater than a second threshold, the method further includes:

[0077] The system uses radar equipment to send countermeasure signals to the drone, which are then used to force the drone to return to its home base or make an emergency landing.

[0078] When it is found that the distance between a certain civilian UAV and the vehicle is less than the first threshold value for a time greater than the second threshold value, it can be considered that the civilian UAV is following the vehicle to take a photo, and the vehicle terminal can prompt the user whether to emit a countermeasure signal. When the user confirms, the radar device can emit a countermeasure signal to the position of the civilian UAV. The effective range of the countermeasure signal can be set, for example, to 200 meters or 300 meters. After the civilian UAV is disturbed by the countermeasure signal, it will be forced to return or land, thereby stopping the behavior of taking a photo. It should be noted that since the countermeasure signal is only directed at the civilian UAV, the emitted countermeasure signal is in the independent frequency band corresponding to the civilian UAV, so that the countermeasure signal only affects the civilian UAV, and does not affect other public UAVs or police UAVs in a specific frequency band. The specific form of the countermeasure signal can be a return signal or an interference signal, which will be described below.

[0079] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the countermeasure signal is a return signal; and the radar device emits the countermeasure signal to the UAV, including:

[0080] (1) identifying the brand and model of the UAV according to the electromagnetic wave signal of the UAV;

[0081] (2) emitting a return signal corresponding to the brand and model to the UAV to force the UAV to return.

[0082] The return signal refers to a return instruction simulating a civilian UAV. After receiving the return signal emitted by the radar device, the civilian UAV will mistakenly believe that it has received a return instruction from a remote control device, thereby being misled to return. Since the return signals corresponding to different brands and different models of UAVs are different, it is necessary to first identify the brand and model of the civilian UAV that takes a photo according to the electromagnetic wave signal of the civilian UAV. After determining the brand and model of the civilian UAV, the return instruction corresponding to the brand and model can be found, the corresponding return signal can be constructed, and the return signal can be sent to the position of the civilian UAV by the radar device. In actual operation, the vehicle terminal can record and store the return instructions of various civilian UAVs of different brands and different models in advance. By analyzing the electromagnetic wave signal of the civilian UAV that takes a photo of the vehicle user, the device information of the civilian UAV can be obtained, thereby determining the brand and model of the civilian UAV, and further finding the corresponding return instruction and constructing the corresponding return signal. By emitting the return signal to the civilian UAV that takes a photo, the civilian UAV can be misled to return, thereby stopping the behavior of taking a photo of the vehicle user, and effectively protecting the privacy and safety of the vehicle user.

[0083] In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the countermeasure signal is an interference signal; and the radar device emits the countermeasure signal to the UAV, including:

[0084] The interference signal in the frequency band of the electromagnetic wave signal is transmitted to the unmanned aerial vehicle to force the unmanned aerial vehicle to make an emergency landing.

[0085] According to the electromagnetic wave signal of the civilian unmanned aerial vehicle that steals the vehicle user, the frequency band in which the electromagnetic wave signal is located can be identified, and the radar device transmits an interference signal in the frequency band to the civilian unmanned aerial vehicle, which can hinder the civilian unmanned aerial vehicle from receiving normal flight operation instructions. The civilian unmanned aerial vehicle will make an emergency landing in the case of being unable to normally receive the flight operation instructions, thereby stopping the behavior of stealing the vehicle user and effectively protecting the privacy and safety of the vehicle user.

[0086] As an example, as shown in Figure 3 , a schematic diagram of an unmanned aerial vehicle countermeasure process provided by an embodiment of the present application is provided. The unmanned aerial vehicle countermeasure process is only for civilian unmanned aerial vehicles. If it is detected by the radar device that there is a civilian unmanned aerial vehicle in the area where the vehicle is located, the distance and following time of the civilian unmanned aerial vehicle are detected. If the distance is far or the following time is short, no prompt and countermeasure is performed. If the distance is close and the following time is long, on the one hand, the user is prompted to pay attention to privacy and safety, and on the other hand, the user is prompted whether to transmit a countermeasure signal. After obtaining the user confirmation, the radar device of the vehicle transmits a countermeasure signal to the civilian unmanned aerial vehicle to force the civilian unmanned aerial vehicle to return or make an emergency landing and stop the behavior of stealing the vehicle user.

[0087] For the convenience of understanding the overall technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , which shows an overall technical framework of the unmanned aerial vehicle monitoring and prompting method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As can be seen from Figure 4 , the vehicle is provided with an unmanned aerial vehicle detection radar. The unmanned aerial vehicle detection radar can capture the unmanned aerial vehicle signal in the monitoring range, thereby detecting the unmanned aerial vehicle near the vehicle. Through the combination of radar devices of multiple vehicles, a radar matrix can be formed, thereby effectively improving the detection range and detection accuracy of the radar and improving the success rate and accuracy of capturing the unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle detection results of different vehicles can be exchanged and shared through the cloud server. When it is detected that there is an unmanned aerial vehicle near the vehicle, the vehicle terminal can further detect the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle and give corresponding unmanned aerial vehicle shooting prompts to the vehicle user according to the type of the unmanned aerial vehicle, such as paying attention to standard driving behavior or paying attention to privacy and safety, etc. The prompt content can be displayed on the vehicle's center screen or played by voice. In addition, for civilian unmanned aerial vehicles, the vehicle terminal can detect the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the radar device, and transmit a countermeasure signal to the position of the unmanned aerial vehicle after obtaining the user confirmation to force the unmanned aerial vehicle to return or make an emergency landing.

[0088] It can be seen from the above that, by using the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, when a UAV monitors a vehicle user, the vehicle terminal can timely remind the vehicle user to regulate his / her behavior, avoid the user being deducted or fined, protect the user's privacy and security, and send a countermeasure signal to drive away the UAV.

[0089] In the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application, the vehicle is provided with a radar device, which can detect whether there is a UAV in a region when the vehicle enters the region. If there is a UAV, the type of the UAV is identified, and the user of the vehicle is prompted accordingly according to the type of the UAV. In this way, when the vehicle is likely to be monitored by a UAV, the user can be prompted in a targeted and timely manner according to the type of the UAV, and the user can regulate his / her behavior in a timely manner after receiving the prompt, such as regulating driving behavior or avoiding exposing privacy, thereby reducing various troubles that may occur.

[0090] It should be understood that the size of the serial number of each step in each of the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution, and the execution order of each process should be determined according to its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] The above mainly describes a UAV monitoring and prompting method, and a UAV monitoring and prompting device will be described below.
