[0003] However, with the rapid increase in the number of unmanned aerial vehicles and the wide range of application requirements, it is urgent to build a base station sensing beam spatial arrangement method covering low altitude to ensure that the base station can obtain real-time unmanned aerial vehicle navigation control information and real-time sensing and detection of unmanned aerial vehicle flight positions. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a sensing beam arrangement method, device, computer equipment and storage medium that can ensure that the base station can obtain real-time unmanned aerial vehicle navigation control information and real-time sensing and detection of unmanned aerial vehicle flight positions.

[0014] For each vertical beam layer, select a target beam corresponding to the vertical beam layer from the different beam direction perception beams according to the beam layer height of the vertical beam layer;

[0015] According to the horizontal plane width of the target beam, determine the horizontal arrangement number of the perception beams required for the target beam to cover the vertical beam layer.

[0016] In one embodiment, the determination of the target base station's to-be-covered beam area includes:

[0017] According to the beamforming maximum angle of the target base station's corresponding base station antenna array, determine the vertical coverage range corresponding to the target base station;

[0018] According to the required coverage range of the beam horizontally oriented by the target base station's corresponding base station antenna array, determine the horizontal coverage range corresponding to the target base station;

[0019] According to the vertical coverage range and the horizontal coverage range, determine the target base station's to-be-covered beam area.

[0020] In one embodiment, in the case of the target base station being a three-sector cellular base station, there is a perception beam overlap between each perception sector of the target base station and the adjacent perception sector at the sector boundary.

[0021] In one embodiment, the perception beams in the same direction of two adjacent vertical beam layers all have beam overlaps.

[0022] Secondly, the present application also provides a perception beam arrangement device. The device includes:

[0023] A first determination module for determining a target base station's to-be-covered beam area;

[0024] The second determining module is used to determine at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical plane width and horizontal plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station.

[0025] The third determining module is used to determine the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station based on each of the vertical beam layers and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged corresponding to each vertical beam layer.

[0026] Thirdly, this application also provides a computer device. The computer device includes a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, and the processor executing the computer program to perform the following steps:

[0029] Based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged corresponding to each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined.

[0030] Fourthly, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium. The computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, performs the following steps:

[0031] Determine the area of ​​the beam to be covered corresponding to the target base station;

[0032] Based on the vertical and horizontal plane widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered are determined, as well as the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer.

[0033] Based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged corresponding to each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined.

[0034] Fifthly, this application also provides a computer program product. The computer program product includes a computer program that, when executed by a processor, performs the following steps:

[0035] Determine the area of ​​the beam to be covered corresponding to the target base station;

[0036] Based on the vertical and horizontal plane widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered are determined, as well as the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer.

[0037] Based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged corresponding to each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined.

[0038] The aforementioned sensing beam arrangement method, apparatus, computer equipment, and storage medium, by determining the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station, realize the determination of at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. Furthermore, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined. As can be seen from the above, in the process of determining the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, this application pre-determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station. Then, by using the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions, it determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams required for horizontal arrangement to cover each vertical beam layer. This ensures that after the target base station arranges the sensing beams according to the spatial arrangement scheme, the sensing beams can sequentially scan each direction within the maximum horizontal and maximum vertical coverage range, achieving three-dimensional continuous coverage of the target base station. This ensures that when the UAV is within the coverage range required by the sensing beams of the target base station, it can obtain UAV flight control information in real time and detect the UAV's flight position in real time.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0049] The sensing beam arrangement method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network. A data storage system can store the data that server 104 needs to process. The data storage system can be integrated onto server 104 or placed on a cloud or other network server. By determining the coverage beam area corresponding to the target base station, the system determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the coverage beam area, and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. Furthermore, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined. Terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and portable wearable devices. IoT devices can be smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart vehicle devices, etc. Portable wearable devices can be smartwatches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. Server 104 can be implemented using a standalone server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a method for sensing beam arrangement is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 Taking server 104 as an example, the following steps are included:

[0051] S201, Determine the area of ​​the beam to be covered corresponding to the target base station.

[0052] It should be noted that the area to be covered by the beam is used to characterize the area in the space where the target base station is located that needs to be covered by the beam.

[0053] When it is necessary to determine the coverage area of ​​a beam, the coverage area of ​​the target base station can be set according to the perception range requirements of the base station maintenance personnel; or, the coverage area of ​​the target base station can be determined by the maximum beamforming angle of the antenna array of the target base station and the required coverage range of the antenna array of the target base station.

[0054] S202, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, determine at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer.

[0055] It should be noted that the vertical beam layer is used to characterize the layering of sensing beams within the area to be covered; the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer is used to characterize the number of sensing beams that each vertical beam layer needs to cover. The vertical plane widths of different vertical beam layers can be the same or different, and the horizontal plane widths of different vertical beam layers can also be the same or different. No limitations are imposed on the vertical and horizontal plane widths of each vertical beam layer here.

[0056] To further explain, when it is necessary to determine at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal plane widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions of the target base station, the following can be included: Vertically layering the area to be covered based on the vertical plane widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions of the target base station to obtain at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered; determining the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer based on the beam layer height of each vertical beam layer and the horizontal plane widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions of the target base station; and determining the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station based on each vertical beam layer and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer.

[0057] S203. Based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, determine the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station.

[0058] It should be noted that when it is necessary to determine the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, the sensing beams of the corresponding number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer are covered in the area to be covered. The sensing beam arrangement obtained by covering the corresponding number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer is the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station.

[0059] To further explain, after determining the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams, the effectiveness of the spatial arrangement scheme can be verified to ensure that when the sensing beams of the target base station are deployed according to the spatial arrangement scheme, the space where the target base station is located can be covered in all directions without dead angles.

[0060] In one embodiment of this application, to ensure that the target base station provides omnidirectional, blind-spot-free coverage of its surrounding space, it can be pre-determined that the sensing beams of two adjacent vertical beam layers in the same direction overlap. Therefore, when verifying the effectiveness of the sensing beam spatial arrangement scheme, it can be determined whether there is beam overlap between the sensing beams of two adjacent vertical beam layers in the same direction; if so, the effectiveness verification of the sensing beam spatial arrangement scheme is determined to be passed.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, to ensure that the target base station provides omnidirectional, blind-spot-free coverage of its surrounding space, it is pre-defined that adjacent sensing beams within the same vertical beam layer will overlap. Therefore, when verifying the effectiveness of the sensing beam spatial arrangement scheme, it can be determined whether adjacent sensing beams within the same vertical beam layer overlap; if so, the validity verification of the sensing beam spatial arrangement scheme is confirmed to be successful.

[0062] To further explain, when the target base station is a three-sector cellular base station, since the three sectors of the three-sector cellular base station need to be connected to each other, there is overlap of sensing beams at the sector boundaries between each sensing sector of the target base station and adjacent sensing sectors, thus forming continuous 360-degree horizontal coverage.

[0063] In one embodiment of this application, for a three-sector cellular base station, each sensing sector covers a 120-degree horizontal direction, such as... Figure 3 As shown. The horizontal scanning beam arrangement needs to be designed based on the horizontal width of the sensing beam, using multiple horizontal sensing beams arranged sequentially with some overlap to avoid horizontal coverage blind spots. Similarly, the vertical scanning beam arrangement needs to be based on vertical beam layers to achieve vertical three-dimensional coverage without blind spots, such as... Figure 4As shown. It should be noted that due to the limitation of the vertical dimension angle of beamforming in cellular base station multi-antenna systems, beam scanning within a 90-degree range cannot be achieved. The area at the top of the base station tower needs to be covered by neighboring base stations. Furthermore, existing cellular base station multi-antenna arrays share a common characteristic when constructing beamforming: the greater the deviation of the beam direction from the antenna array normal direction, the wider the beam width gradually becomes. Therefore, when arranging sensing beams in the horizontal and vertical dimensions, the number of sensing beams needs to be designed based on the actual horizontal and vertical widths of the beamforming beams of the multi-antenna array.

[0064] As shown above, each three-sector cellular base station achieves seamless sensing and detection of the entire airspace through the horizontal and vertical arrangement of sensing beams. The airspace is divided into three sensing sectors with the three-sector cellular base station as the center. Based on the three-dimensional characteristics of the airspace, the number of horizontal sensing beams arranged at each vertical height varies in each sensing sector; the higher the vertical height, the smaller the viewing angle of the covered area relative to the base station's location. Specifically, for example... Figure 5 As shown, tangents 1 and 2, which are relatively low in height relative to the base station location, provide a larger viewing angle from the three-sector cellular base station, requiring more horizontal sensing beams. The angle between tangents 3 and 4 represents the viewing angle at a higher location relative to the base station location, which is smaller than the angle between tangents 1 and 2, thus allowing for fewer sensing beams. If we further select the angle between tangents 5 and 6, which have a higher vertical dimension, it means that the higher the location relative to the base station, the smaller the viewing angle from the base station to the coverage area, thus allowing for even fewer horizontal beams. It should be noted that the beam arrangement determines the number of times the sensing signals in each three-dimensional direction are scanned within a fixed period. A more rational beam arrangement can improve the scanning efficiency of the sensing beams, thereby increasing the accumulated energy of the echo signals in each direction and improving sensing accuracy.

[0065] The aforementioned sensing beam arrangement method determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station, and then determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. Furthermore, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined. As can be seen from the above, in the process of determining the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, this application pre-determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station. Then, by using the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions, it determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams required for horizontal arrangement to cover each vertical beam layer. This ensures that after the target base station arranges the sensing beams according to the spatial arrangement scheme, the sensing beams can sequentially scan each direction within the maximum horizontal and maximum vertical coverage range, achieving three-dimensional continuous coverage of the target base station. This ensures that when the UAV is within the coverage range required by the sensing beams of the target base station, it can obtain UAV flight control information in real time and detect the UAV's flight position in real time.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to determine at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions of the target base station, the following can be included:

[0067] S601, based on the vertical plane width of the sensing beam corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, perform vertical beam layering on the beam area to be covered, and obtain at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered.

[0068] It should be noted that when it is necessary to determine at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, the sensing beams can be vertically arranged in the vertical direction within the area to be covered, based on the vertical plane width of the sensing beams. During the arrangement process, it is necessary to ensure that there is overlap between adjacent sensing beams. Then, the maximum number of sensing beams that can be arranged in the area to be covered is taken as the number of vertical beam layers, and the horizontal plane space of each sensing beam in the area to be covered is taken as the vertical beam layer.

[0069] S602, based on the beam height of each vertical beam layer and the horizontal plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, determine the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer.

[0070] It should be noted that when it is necessary to determine the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer based on the beam layer height of each vertical beam layer and the horizontal plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, the following can be included: for each vertical beam layer, select the target beam corresponding to the vertical beam layer from the sensing beams of different beam directions based on the beam layer height of the vertical beam layer; determine the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged required to cover the vertical beam layer with the target beam based on the horizontal plane width of the target beam.

[0071] To further explain, since the beam direction of the sensing beam affects the beam coverage height, when it is necessary to determine the target beam, the sensing beam whose beam coverage height is equal to the beam layer height perpendicular to the beam layer can be used as the target beam, based on the beam direction of the sensing beam.

[0072] In one embodiment of the application, when it is necessary to determine the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged to cover the target beam of the vertical beam layer, for each vertical beam layer, the corresponding sensing beams can be covered within the vertical beam layer according to the width of the horizontal plane, and it is ensured that there is sensing beam overlap between two adjacent sensing beams. Therefore, the number of sensing beams that the vertical beam layer can cover is the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged.

[0073] In one embodiment of this application, after determining at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, the sensing beams of the corresponding number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer can be covered within the area to be covered, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer. The resulting sensing beam arrangement is the sensing beam spatial arrangement scheme corresponding to the target base station.

[0074] In one embodiment, the three-sector cellular base station's spatial characteristics include a decrease in the horizontal coverage range of the horizontal sensing beam as the vertical dimension increases, and beam overlap between two adjacent horizontal sensing beams.

[0075] Based on the beamforming capability of the antenna array corresponding to the target base station and the sensing range and distance requirements for each horizontal and vertical angle, the widths of the vertical and horizontal planes between sensing beams can be different, the beam widths between vertical beam layers can be varied and flexibly set, and the horizontal plane widths of each sensing beam in each vertical beam layer can also be varied and flexibly set.

[0076] The aforementioned sensing beam arrangement method determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered by measuring the vertical plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. It then determines the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer based on the beam layer height of each vertical beam layer and the horizontal plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. This ultimately determines the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, achieving continuous three-dimensional coverage. This ensures that when the UAV is within the required coverage area of ​​the target base station's sensing beams, it can acquire UAV flight control information in real time and detect its flight position in real time.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 When it is necessary to determine the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, the following can be included:

[0078] S701, determine the area of ​​the beam to be covered corresponding to the target base station.

[0079] S702, based on the vertical plane width of the sensing beam corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, performs vertical beam layering on the beam area to be covered, and obtains at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered.

[0080] S703, for each vertical beam layer, selects the target beam corresponding to the vertical beam layer from the sensing beams of different beam directions based on the beam layer height of the vertical beam layer.

[0081] S704, based on the horizontal plane width of the target beam, determine the number of sensing beams required for horizontal arrangement to cover the vertical beam layer with the target beam.

[0082] S705 determines the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer.

[0083] The aforementioned sensing beam arrangement method determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station, and then determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. Furthermore, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined. As can be seen from the above, in the process of determining the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, this application pre-determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station. Then, by using the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions, it determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams required for horizontal arrangement to cover each vertical beam layer. This ensures that after the target base station arranges the sensing beams according to the spatial arrangement scheme, the sensing beams can sequentially scan each direction within the maximum horizontal and maximum vertical coverage range, achieving three-dimensional continuous coverage of the target base station. This ensures that when the UAV is within the coverage range required by the sensing beams of the target base station, it can obtain UAV flight control information in real time and detect the UAV's flight position in real time.

[0084] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the above embodiments may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0085] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a sensing beam arrangement device for implementing the sensing beam arrangement method described above. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method. Therefore, the specific limitations of one or more sensing beam arrangement device embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the sensing beam arrangement method above, and will not be repeated here.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, a beamforming sensing device is provided, comprising: a first determining module 10, a second determining module 20, and a third determining module 30, wherein:

[0087] The first determining module 10 is used to determine the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station.

[0088] The second determining module 20 is used to determine at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered, and the number of horizontally arranged sensing beams corresponding to each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical plane width and horizontal plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station.

[0089] The third determining module 30 is used to determine the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged corresponding to each vertical beam layer.

[0090] In one embodiment, based on the vertical plane width of the sensing beam corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, the area to be covered is vertically layered to obtain at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the area to be covered.

[0091] Based on the beam height of each vertical beam layer and the horizontal plane width of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station, the number of sensing beams arranged horizontally for each vertical beam layer is determined.

[0092] In one embodiment, for each vertical beam layer, the target beam corresponding to the vertical beam layer is selected from the beam sensing beams of different beam directions based on the beam layer height of the vertical beam layer.

[0093] Based on the horizontal plane width of the target beam, determine the number of sensing beams required for horizontal arrangement to cover the vertical beam layer with the target beam.

[0094] In one embodiment, the vertical coverage range corresponding to the target base station is determined based on the maximum beamforming angle of the antenna array corresponding to the target base station.

[0095] The horizontal coverage range of the target base station is determined based on the required coverage range of the beam of the antenna array of the target base station in the horizontal direction.

[0096] Based on the vertical and horizontal coverage ranges, determine the target base station's corresponding beam area to be covered.

[0097] In one embodiment, when the target base station is a three-sector cellular base station, there is overlap of sensing beams at the sector boundaries between each sensing sector of the target base station and adjacent sensing sectors.

[0098] In one embodiment, the sensing beams of two adjacent vertical beam layers in the same direction overlap.

[0099] The aforementioned sensing beam arrangement device determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station, and then determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, based on the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams corresponding to different beam directions of the target base station. Furthermore, based on each vertical beam layer and the number of sensing beams horizontally arranged for each vertical beam layer, the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station is determined. As can be seen from the above, in the process of determining the spatial arrangement scheme of the sensing beams corresponding to the target base station, this application pre-determines the beam area to be covered corresponding to the target base station. Then, by using the vertical and horizontal widths of the sensing beams in different beam directions, it determines at least two vertical beam layers corresponding to the beam area to be covered, as well as the number of sensing beams required for horizontal arrangement to cover each vertical beam layer. This ensures that after the target base station arranges the sensing beams according to the spatial arrangement scheme, the sensing beams can sequentially scan each direction within the maximum horizontal and maximum vertical coverage range, achieving three-dimensional continuous coverage of the target base station. This ensures that when the UAV is within the coverage range required by the sensing beams of the target base station, it can obtain UAV flight control information in real time and detect the UAV's flight position in real time.

[0100] Each module in the aforementioned sensing beamforming device can be implemented entirely or partially through software, hardware, or a combination thereof. These modules can be embedded in or independent of the processor in a computer device, or stored in the memory of a computer device as software, so that the processor can call and execute the corresponding operations of each module.

The processor provides computing and control capabilities. The memory includes non-volatile storage media and internal memory.
