After success, the control end will have two functions: one is to respond to the instructions of the server end, and the other is to regularly obtain some data of the drone and store it locally. The server end first performs login authentication, and connects to the control end after successful authentication. After successfully connecting with the control end, the core processing module of the server end will parse the user's operation. If it is a control-type instruction, it will interact through the data interaction modules at both ends. When the control end receives the control-type instruction, it will send it to the drone through the device control module for control and return the instruction sending result to the drone; if it is a data acquisition instruction, the control end will read the relevant data in the database through the data persistence module of this end and return it to the server end through the data interaction modules at both ends. The return result of the data instruction received by the server end will be processed by the data processing module of this end into data that can be persistently stored, mainly including drone data (route track, parameters, etc.), log audit data and object storage data (audio and video data), etc. If it is a heartbeat instruction, the control end instruction processing module will directly return through the data interaction modules at both ends.
