[0050] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0051] Reference below Figures 1-8 The vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, which can solve the problem of signal attenuation of the drone handle 200 caused by vehicle body obstruction, thereby improving the control and experience of the drone 300 by the user inside the vehicle.

[0052] Combine Figures 1-8 As shown, the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a remote sensing control module 1 and a drone connection antenna 3. The drone connection antenna 3 can establish a communication relationship with the drone 300.

[0053] Specifically, the drone handle 200 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, the drone connection antenna 3 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, at least a portion of the drone connection antenna 3 extends outside the vehicle body, and the drone 300 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1 through the drone connection antenna 3.

[0054] Optionally, the drone connection antenna 3 and the remote sensing control module 1 can be electrically connected by wiring, which is less susceptible to the problem of signal quality degradation caused by external electromagnetic interference, thereby improving the reliability and stability of communication, and also having a longer usage time and endurance, thereby increasing the practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0055] Alternatively, the drone connection antenna 3 and the remote sensing control module 1 may also be wirelessly connected (for example, the two are connected via a Wi-Fi signal or a Bluetooth signal), which can increase the signal coverage and transmission distance, provide real-time communication signals, and avoid being restricted by geographical conditions and the layout of wires.

[0056] In addition, when the wireless signal between the drone handle 200 and the drone 300 is blocked (that is, the signal needs to pass through an obstacle to reach the terminal device 400), this will lead to the risk of wireless signal attenuation and interference (the obstruction will absorb or reflect the signal, weakening the signal strength). Therefore, when the user controls the drone handle 200 in the car, the wireless signal emitted by the drone handle 200 will be blocked by the vehicle body when reaching the drone 300 outside the vehicle, which can easily cause the problem of weak wireless control signal.

[0057] It can be understood that compared with the traditional drone control system, in this application, at least a portion of the drone connection antenna 3 is extended outside the vehicle, and the drone connection antenna 3 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1. The drone handle 200 located inside the vehicle is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, so that the drone handle 200 and the drone 300 can also achieve a communication connection effect. In this way, when the user operates the drone handle 200 in the car, it can avoid being restricted by geographical conditions for wiring. It can only transmit the communication signal to the remote sensing control module 1 stably and in real time within a short distance. The remote sensing control module 1 then stably transmits the received signal to the drone connection antenna 3 outside the vehicle. The drone connection antenna 3 then transmits the wireless signal to the drone 300 (at this time, there is no obstruction between the drone connection antenna 3 and the drone 300, and the communication signal strength is high), thereby reducing the risk of signal attenuation between the drone handle 200 inside the vehicle and the drone 300 outside the vehicle, thereby improving the user's operating feel and experience of the drone 300.

[0058] Therefore, by setting up the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100, the signal attenuation problem of the drone handle 200 caused by vehicle body obstruction can be solved, thereby improving the control and experience of the drone 300 by the user inside the vehicle.

[0059] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle-mounted UAV control system 100 further includes a hangar 4 for storing the UAV 300 . The hangar 4 is arranged outside the vehicle body, and the UAV connection antenna 3 is arranged inside the hangar 4 .

[0060] Specifically, a hangar 4 is provided on the exterior of the vehicle body (e.g., on the roof) to provide a storage location for the drone 300, thereby facilitating user recovery of the drone 300. The drone connection antenna 3 may also be disposed within the hangar 4. This provides a mounting location for the drone connection antenna 3, preventing it from being exposed, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, it allows the drone connection antenna 3 to be closer to the drone 300, thereby improving the stability of signal transmission between the drone connection antenna 3 and the drone 300.

[0061] Specifically, combined Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple drone connection antennas 3, and the multiple drone connection antennas 3 are arranged at intervals in the hangar 4. This can increase the number of drone connection antennas 3, thereby increasing the signal strength and signal coverage range of the wireless signal transmitted to the drone 300, thereby improving the flight range of the drone 300 and the communication reliability and stability of the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100.

[0062] Further, combined with Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, hangar 4 is located on top of the vehicle body and includes a base frame 41. Multiple drone connection antennas 3 are respectively mounted on base frame 41 and spaced apart along the width of the vehicle. Since there are typically fewer obstructions on top of the vehicle body, the location of hangar 4 on top of the vehicle body makes it less susceptible to interference and obstruction of wireless signals from obstructions. Furthermore, it facilitates the launch and recovery of drones 300, thereby improving the rationality of hangar 4's layout.

[0063] Furthermore, multiple drone connection antennas 3 are spaced apart along the width of the vehicle. This increases the signal transmission range of the drone connection antennas 3 along the width of the vehicle, thereby increasing the signal reception range of the drone 300 and, in turn, the flight range of the drone 300. For example, multiple drone connection antennas 3 may also be spaced apart along the length of the vehicle, but this is not a limitation. The width of a vehicle is the left-right direction, and the length of a vehicle is the front-back direction.

[0064] Specifically, combined Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the remote sensing control module 1 is connected to a first wiring harness, which is provided with a first plug-in end; the drone connection antenna 3 is connected to a second wiring harness 31, which is provided with a second plug-in end 311, and the second plug-in end 311 is exposed from the outer wall of the hangar 4, and the first plug-in end and the second plug-in end 311 are plugged in and matched.

[0065] Among them, the remote sensing control module 1 and the drone connection antenna 3 are connected to the first wiring harness and the second wiring harness 31 respectively, and the first plug-in end of the first wiring harness is plugged into the second plug-in end 311 of the second wiring harness 31. In this way, the remote sensing control module 1 and the drone connection antenna 3 can establish a connection relationship in the form of electrical signals, thereby improving the systematicness and rationality of its circuit layout.

[0066] Furthermore, the first and second plug-in terminals 311 are mated in a simple, reliable, and easy-to-assemble / disassemble structure. The second plug-in terminal 311 is exposed from the outer wall of the hangar 4, allowing the user to establish an electrical connection between the drone antenna 3 and the remote sensing control module 1 without opening the hangar 4, thereby improving the rationality of the wiring harness layout and the convenience of connection.

[0067] Further, combined with Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second plug end 311 of the drone connection antenna 3 is disposed on the portion of the hangar 4 that is exposed from the outer bottom wall and adjacent to the front edge of the hangar 4. The second plug end 311 of the drone connection antenna 3 extends along the interior contour of the hangar 4 toward the front edge of the outer bottom wall. This allows the wiring harness to be hidden and extended along the front of the hangar 4, utilizing the interior space of the hangar 4. This prevents excessive exposure of the second wiring harness 31 to the outside of the hangar 4 and shortens the distance between the drone connection antenna 3 and the remote sensing control module 1, thereby improving the protection and rationality of the layout of the second wiring harness 31.

[0068] Specifically, combined Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the second connector 311 of the drone connection antenna 3 is located in the center of the hangar 4, exposed from the outer bottom wall. This extends from the hangar 4 toward the outer bottom wall, allowing the user to establish an electrical connection between the drone connection antenna 3 and the remote sensing control module 1 without opening the hangar 4. Furthermore, the location of the second connector 311 in the center of the hangar 4, along the width of the vehicle, facilitates the planning and organization of the second wiring harness 31, improving its layout and regularity.

[0069] Further, combined with Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the hangar 4 includes a base frame 41, and the second wiring harness 31 is provided with a first restraining portion 312, which is restrained and engaged with the base frame 41. The base frame 41 is located at the bottom of the hangar 4 and primarily serves as the bottom support structure of the hangar 4. The base frame 41 restrains and engages with the first restraining portion 312 of the second wiring harness 31. This constrains the arrangement and position of the second wiring harness 31, preventing the risk of the second wiring harness 31 becoming entangled and wobbling, thereby improving the arrangement regularity and positional stability of the second wiring harness 31. The first restraining portion 312 can be provided with a buckle, and the base frame 41 can be provided with a latch hole, which engages with the buckle.

[0070] Specifically, combined Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the drone control system 100 also includes a first host 5 and a terminal connection antenna 6. The first host 5 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, and the terminal connection antenna 6 is connected to the first host 5. The terminal connection antenna 6 is used to connect to the terminal device 400 and is disposed in the hangar 4. The first host 5 is mainly used to control the transmission and reception of signals by the terminal connection antenna 6 and the processing and display of images and videos.

[0071] Among them, the terminal connection antenna 6 can establish a wireless communication relationship between the first host 5 and the terminal device 400 on the vehicle, and the terminal connection antenna 6 can be arranged in the hangar 4. Compared with the traditional terminal connection antenna layout (for example, it is installed in the a and b pillars, so that the angle between the antenna and the ground is too large, and the received signal is poor; for example, it is installed in the dashboard, so that the antenna is blocked by the dashboard material and the placed objects, and the received signal is poor; for example, it is installed on the rear windshield, so that the cable is very long and the wiring is complicated), on the one hand, the terminal connection antenna 6 and the drone connection antenna 3 can be arranged together inside the hangar 4, thereby improving the space utilization of the hangar 4, and it is not easy to cause the problem of signal attenuation due to the wireless transmission signal connected to the terminal connection antenna 6 being blocked by the vehicle body; on the other hand, since the terminal connection antenna 6 is arranged in the hangar 4, the hangar 4 can also form a certain protection effect on the terminal connection antenna 6, thereby improving its waterproofness and durability, and thus improving the vehicle's own wireless communication capabilities.

[0072] In addition, the first host 5 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, so that the image and video signals received by the remote sensing control module 1 can be transmitted to the first host 5, and after processing by the first host 5, the images and videos are displayed on the screen in real time. In this way, while taking into account the antenna system that can be used for transmitting signals and images of the drone 300 (that is, the screen connected to the first host 5 in the car can display the videos and pictures taken by the drone 300 in real time), conventional vehicle communication functions can also be realized, thereby improving the versatility and practicality of the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100.

[0073] Furthermore, the first host 5 is connected to a third wiring harness, which is provided with a third plug-in terminal; the terminal connection antenna 6 is connected to a fourth wiring harness 61, which is provided with a fourth plug-in terminal 611, and the fourth plug-in terminal 611 is exposed from the outer wall of the hangar 4, and the third plug-in terminal is plugged into and matched with the fourth plug-in terminal 611.

[0074] Among them, the first host 5 and the terminal connection antenna 6 are connected to the third wiring harness and the fourth wiring harness 61 respectively, and the third plug-in end of the third wiring harness is plugged into the fourth plug-in end 611 of the fourth wiring harness 61. In this way, the first host 5 and the terminal connection antenna 6 can establish a connection relationship in the form of electrical signals, thereby improving the systematicness and rationality of its circuit layout.

[0075] Furthermore, the third plug-in terminal and the fourth plug-in terminal 611 utilize a plug-in mating mechanism, which is simple, reliable, and easy to assemble and disassemble. The fourth plug-in terminal 611 is exposed from the outer wall of the hangar 4, allowing the user to establish an electrical connection between the first host 5 and the terminal connection antenna 6 without opening the hangar 4, thereby improving the rationality of the wiring harness layout and the convenience of connection.

[0076] Specifically, combined Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the fourth plug end 611 of the terminal connection antenna 6 is disposed at a position exposed from the outer bottom wall of the hangar 4 and adjacent to the front edge of the outer bottom wall of the hangar 4. The fourth plug end 611 of the terminal connection antenna 6 is arranged to extend along the inner contour of the hangar 4 toward the front edge of the outer bottom wall. This allows the fourth wiring harness 61 to be extended and arranged in a concealed manner along the front of the hangar 4, utilizing the interior space of the hangar 4. This prevents the fourth wiring harness 61 from being excessively exposed to the outside of the hangar 4 and shortens the spatial distance between the terminal connection antenna 6 and the first host 5, thereby improving the protection and rationality of the layout of the fourth wiring harness 61.

[0077] Further, combined with Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, hangar 4 includes a base frame 41, and the fourth wire harness 61 is provided with a second restraining portion 612, which is restrained and engaged with the base frame 41. The base frame 41 is located at the bottom of the hangar 4 and primarily serves as the bottom support structure of the hangar 4. The base frame 41 is restrained and engaged with the second restraining portion 612 of the fourth wire harness 61. This constrains the arrangement and position of the fourth wire harness 61, preventing the risk of the fourth wire harness 61 becoming entangled and wobbling, thereby improving the arrangement regularity and positional stability of the second wire harness 31. The second restraining portion 612 can be provided with a buckle, and the base frame 41 can be provided with a latch hole, which engages with the buckle.

[0078] According to some other optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 2 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the drone control system 100 also includes a first host 5 and a terminal connection antenna 6. The first host 5 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, and the terminal connection antenna 6 is connected to the first host 5. The terminal connection antenna 6 is used to connect to the terminal device 400, and the terminal connection antenna 6 is arranged in the vehicle body.

[0079] For example, the terminal connection antenna 6 in the vehicle body is connected to the first host 5, which can be used for conventional mobile communication operations, thereby ensuring normal communication functions of the vehicle. In addition, the first host 5 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, so that when the user needs to equip the drone 300, the modification and installation work of the drone 300 can be simplified.

[0080] Specifically, combined Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the terminal connection antenna 6 includes a housing 62, a first circuit board 63, and a second circuit board 64. The first circuit board 63 is disposed within the housing 62 and is provided with a communication antenna 631. The second circuit board 64 is disposed within the housing 62 and is spaced apart from the first circuit board 63. The second circuit board 64 is provided with a GPS antenna 641. For example, the communication antenna 631 can be a 2G, 3G, 4G, or 5G antenna, but is not limited thereto.

[0081] Among them, the shell 62 mainly plays a role of protection and installation, and serves as the main structural component of the outer contour of the terminal connection antenna 6. The first circuit board 63 is separated from the second circuit board 64, which makes it easy to arrange the communication antenna 631 and the GPS antenna 641 separately, which is conducive to the partitioning arrangement according to the function of the antenna, thereby improving the rationality of the antenna arrangement. The communication antenna 631 and the GPS antenna 641 are arranged at the same time to meet the communication needs in different scenarios, thereby improving the practicality and versatility of the terminal connection antenna 6. The first circuit board 63 and the second circuit board 64 are placed in the shell, and the bolts fix the shell to the crossbeam of the hangar 4. The communication wiring harness and the GPS antenna 641 wiring harness are transferred to the host end through the vehicle wiring harness for communication and positioning. The shell 62 is a plastic shell 62, and the communication antenna 631 and the GPS antenna 641 in the car are fixed under the skylight in the car by snapping, so as to avoid the signal being blocked by the metal body.

[0082] Furthermore, the basic function of communication antenna 631 is to radiate and receive radio waves (when transmitting radio waves, it converts high-frequency current into electromagnetic waves; when receiving radio waves, it converts electromagnetic waves into high-frequency current). Communication antenna 631 is the antenna used for communication between UAV 300 and ground control. Although UAV 300 is capable of autonomous flight, it requires communication with the ground control system during flight for control and feedback. Communication antenna 631 processes various data and commands and transmits them to UAV 300, enabling functions such as remote control, telemetry, and network connectivity.

[0083] The primary function of a GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna is to receive GPS signals sent from satellites and transmit them to navigation devices or other equipment for obtaining geographic location information and accurate universal coordinated time. UAV 300 requires GPS antenna 641 to obtain positioning and navigation information. GPS antenna 641 typically consists of a navigation receiver and an antenna capable of receiving signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Modern GPS antennas offer excellent performance and can operate reliably even in adverse weather conditions.

[0084] Further, combined with Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, there are two first circuit boards 63, and the two first circuit boards 63 are located on opposite sides of the second circuit board 64. In the vehicle's width direction, a first circuit board 63 is provided on each side of the second circuit board 64. This increases the number of first circuit boards 63, thereby increasing the signal strength of the communication antenna 631 (primarily used in daily life scenarios and areas with many signal base stations), thereby reducing communication costs and improving communication capabilities. Furthermore, it also allows for the placement of the GPS antenna 641, thereby meeting the communication needs of the terminal connection antenna 6 in special scenarios (such as deserts, uninhabited areas, and other areas without signal base stations), thereby improving the vehicle's survival communication capabilities in extreme scenarios.

[0085] Specifically, combined Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the first circuit board 63 is provided with at least two communication antennas 631. The fact that at least two communication antennas 631 are provided on the first circuit board 63 increases the number of communication antennas 631, thereby increasing the radiation signal strength and receiving signal capability of the communication antennas 631, thereby improving the communication capability of the vehicle.

[0086] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 further includes a first host 5 and a first wireless transmission module 7. The first host 5 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, and the first wireless transmission module 7 is connected to the first host 5. The first wireless transmission module 7 is used to connect to the terminal device 400. For example, the first wireless transmission module 7 can be a WIEI transmission module or a Bluetooth transmission module, but is not limited thereto.

[0087] Specifically, the first wireless transmission module 7 can use radio signals to send data between devices, and its transmission distance is relatively short compared to the communication antenna 631. When the first wireless transmission module 7 uses Bluetooth, the terminal device 400 and the first host 5 can perform wireless transmission via Bluetooth; when the first wireless transmission module 7 uses WiFi, the first host 5 can connect to the terminal device 400 via WiFi and connect itself to the Internet. In this way, through different antenna combinations, the user's experience of vehicle-machine interconnection communication in different scenarios is effectively improved, thereby improving the system comprehensiveness and integration of the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100.

[0088] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 further includes a first host 5 and a second host 9. The first host 5 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, and the second host 9 is electrically connected to the first host 5 and the remote sensing control module 1, respectively. For example, the first host 5 can be located on the main instrument panel, and the second host 9 can be located on the secondary instrument panel.

[0089] In detail, the second host 9 is electrically connected to the first host 5 and the remote sensing control module 1 respectively, so that the second host 9 can also independently control the receiving and sending signals of the terminal connection antenna 6 and the processing and display of images and videos. It can also be connected to the drone connection antenna 3 through the first host 5, thereby improving the display range of the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100, making it easier for more users to observe the video images taken by the drone 300 in real time.

[0090] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 further includes a second wireless transmission module 8, which is electrically connected to the second host 9 and is used to connect to the terminal device 400. For example, the second wireless transmission module 8 can be a WIEI transmission module and a Bluetooth transmission module, but is not limited thereto.

[0091] Furthermore, the second wireless transmission module 8 can use radio signals to send data between devices, and compared with the communication antenna 631, its transmission distance is relatively short, which can meet the user's needs to wirelessly connect the terminal device 400 with the second host 9 within a short distance.

[0092] For example, when the second wireless transmission module 8 adopts Bluetooth, the terminal device 400 and the second host 9 can perform wireless transmission via Bluetooth; for another example, when the second wireless transmission module 8 adopts WIFI, the second host 9 can connect to the terminal device 400 via WiFi and connect itself to the Internet. In this way, through different antenna combinations, the user's experience of vehicle-machine interconnection communication in different scenarios can be effectively improved, thereby improving the system comprehensiveness and integration of the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100.

[0093] The first host 5 is connected to the first wireless transmission module 7 and also communicates with the second host 9 via Ethernet. The first wireless transmission module 7 is mainly arranged in the main dashboard of the car and is used to wirelessly connect the terminal device 400 and the first host 5, thereby enabling functions such as communication and phone calls between the terminal device 400 and the second host 9.

[0094] Optionally, the second host 9 is directly connected to the second wireless transmission module 8 and the remote sensing control module 1. The second wireless transmission module 8 is arranged at the auxiliary instrument position and is mainly used for interaction between the co-pilot screen and the terminal device 400. The remote sensing control module 1 is connected to the drone handle connection module 2 and two image transmission antennas. The WIFI in the drone handle connection module 2 (such as WIFI, Bluetooth) is used to communicate with the drone handle 200. The image transmission antennas connected to the remote sensing control module 1 are arranged on both sides of the top of the hangar 4 for communication with the drone 300. When controlling the drone 300 in the car, the drone handle 200 is connected to Bluetooth to control the drone 300 through the image transmission antenna to solve the problem of signal obstruction in the car.

[0095] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone handle connection module 2 communicates wirelessly with the drone handle 200. Since the distance between the drone handle connection module 2 and the drone handle 200 is usually short, wireless communication between the two is not easily affected by interference from the wiring harness structure and geographical location, as well as weak signal strength. In addition, the operation method is more flexible and convenient, which can improve the user experience.

[0096] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 further includes a drone handle connection module 2, which is connected to the remote sensing control module 1. The drone handle 200 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1 via the drone handle connection module 2. The remote sensing control module 1 can be used to establish a communication relationship between the drone 300 and the drone handle 200.

[0097] Specifically, the drone handle connection module 2 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, the drone handle 200 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1 through the drone handle connection module 2, the drone connection antenna 3 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1, at least a part of the drone connection antenna 3 extends outside the vehicle body, and the drone 300 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1 through the drone connection antenna 3.

[0098] Optionally, the drone handle connection module 2 can establish a signal connection relationship between the remote sensing control module 1 and the communication radio frequency module in the drone handle 200. For example, the drone handle connection module 2 in this case can communicate with the drone handle 200 wirelessly (for example, the drone handle connection module 2 is a wifi antenna or a Bluetooth antenna), which can increase the signal coverage and transmission distance, provide real-time communication signals, and avoid being restricted by geographical conditions and the layout of wires; for another example, the drone handle connection module 2 in this case can also communicate with the drone handle 200 via wired communication (for example, the drone handle connection module 2 is a USB connection module), which can improve the reliability and stability of the communication signal.

[0099] Furthermore, the drone handle connection module 2 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1 by wire, and the drone handle connection module 2 is connected to the drone handle 200 by wire or wirelessly.

[0100] Among them, the drone handle connection module 2 is connected to the remote sensing control module 1 by wire, so that the signal transmission quality between the drone handle connection module 2 and the remote sensing control module 1 is more stable and reliable, the signal transmission speed is faster, and there is no problem of signal interference.

[0101] In addition, the drone handle connection module 2 is connected to the drone handle 200 by wire, which can improve the stability of signal transmission between the drone handle connection module 2 and the drone handle 200; the drone handle connection module 2 is connected to the drone handle 200 wirelessly, which can avoid the drone handle connection module 2 being restricted by geographical conditions and the layout of wires when connecting to the drone handle 200, thereby improving the applicability in multiple scenarios.

[0102] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the drone connection antenna 3 is a video transmission antenna. The video transmission antenna is an antenna used to transmit video signals between the drone 300 and ground equipment (e.g., the video transmission antenna transmits images and videos captured by the drone 300 to a host terminal for display on a vehicle screen or terminal device 400). The video transmission antenna primarily captures the video transmission signal and transmits it to the ground equipment, allowing the images captured by the drone 300 camera to be displayed in real time.

[0103] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle includes a vehicle body and the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 of the above-mentioned embodiment. A vehicle with the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 can solve the signal attenuation problem of the drone handle 200 caused by the obstruction of the vehicle body, thereby improving the control and experience of the user inside the vehicle on the drone 300.

[0104] According to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention, a vehicle includes a vehicle body, a drone 300, a drone handle 200 and the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 of the above-mentioned embodiment. A vehicle with the vehicle-mounted drone control system 100 can solve the signal attenuation problem of the drone handle 200 caused by obstruction of the vehicle body, thereby improving the control and experience of the user inside the vehicle on the drone 300.
