[0069] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the communication method of a UAV, the communication apparatus of a UAV, the electronic device and the readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0070] The communication method of a UAV can be applied to a terminal, and can be executed by hardware or software in the terminal.

[0071] In each of the following embodiments, a terminal including a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. However, it should be understood that the terminal can include one or more other physical user interface devices such as physical keyboards, mice, and joysticks.

[0072] The communication method of a UAV provided by the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a UAV, or can be executed by a control terminal such as an electronic device or a functional module or functional entity in the electronic device capable of implementing the communication method of a UAV. The electronic device mentioned in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer, a camera, a wearable device, and a mobile vehicle-mounted device, etc. The communication method of a UAV can also be executed by a communication device terminal such as a location server, an LTE / NR base station, a WIFI device, and an RSU, etc.

[0073] It can be understood that in the process of data transmission and reception between the UAV terminal and the control terminal, information transmission and reception between multiple terminals such as the UAV terminal, the control terminal, and the communication device terminal can be involved.

[0074] The implementation of the communication method of a UAV of the present application will be described below with different execution subjects as examples.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 1, the communication method of a UAV is applied to a UAV terminal, and the communication method of a UAV includes steps 110, 120, and 130.

[0076] Step 110: sending second information to a first target terminal;

[0077] In this step, the UAV terminal can act as a station (STA).

[0078] The first target terminal can include a control terminal, or a communication device terminal located around the control terminal or the UAV terminal.

[0079] The control terminal can act as an access point (AP) of a wireless network, and the control terminal can be a fixed terminal or a mobile terminal such as a vehicle control terminal.

[0080] The communication device terminal can include but is not limited to a location server, an LTE / NR base station, a WIFI device, and an RSU, etc.

[0081] The second information includes relevant information for the UAV end to establish a communication connection with the control end in the case that the communication between the UAV end and the control end is disconnected.

[0082] The second information should at least include data encrypted based on an encryption algorithm.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second information can include at least one of identity information of the UAV end, identity information of the control end, data encrypted based on an encryption algorithm, location information of the UAV end, and connection request information.

[0084] In this embodiment, the identity information of the UAV end can include an ID and a MAC address of the UAV, etc.

[0085] The data encrypted based on an encryption algorithm can include data for informing the control end of the encryption method of the UAV and other relevant information.

[0086] The connection request information can be an authentication request.

[0087] In actual execution, the UAV end can periodically and / or triggeredly send the second information to the control end and the communication device end around it to attempt to establish a communication connection with the control end.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, after the control end receives the second information, the second information can be parsed and authenticated, and in the case that the authentication of the UAV end is passed, third information for informing the UAV end to establish a communication connection is sent to the UAV end.

[0089] In the case that the authentication is not passed, the control end can not perform an operation.

[0090] Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, after the communication device end receives the second information, the received second information can be forwarded to the surrounding control end by default for the control end to authenticate the UAV end.

[0091] In some embodiments, step 110 can include:

[0092] In the case that it is predicted that the communication with the control end will be disconnected, the second information is sent to the first target end.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first target end can include the control end or the communication device end.

[0094] In some embodiments, predicting that the communication with the control end will be disconnected can include:

[0095] In the case that the UAV end does not receive the control signal sent by the control end for more than a first time length, or the quality of the control signal received by the UAV end is poor, or the UAV determines based on the position information that it is about to enter an area with poor communication signal, it is determined that the communication with the control end will be disconnected.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first time length can be a relatively long time length based on user customization.

[0097] For example, in the case that the UAV end does not receive the control signal sent by the control end for a long time, it can be predicted that the communication with the control end will be disconnected or has been disconnected.

[0098] For another example, in the case that the values of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), or wireless signal quality and block error rate (BLER) received by the UAV end do not reach the preset values, it can be approximately considered that the quality is poor, and in this case it can be determined that the communication with the control end will be disconnected.

[0099] The area with poor communication signal can be a tunnel, a culvert, or an underground parking lot, etc.

[0100] For example, in the case that the UAV is about to enter a tunnel, it is considered that the communication with the control end will be disconnected.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 2, in the case that the UAV end predicts that the communication with the control end will be disconnected, the second information can be actively triggered to be sent to the first target end.

[0102] In some embodiments, step 110 can include:

[0103] In the case that the communication between the UAV end and the control end is disconnected, the second information is sent to the first target end based on a first target period.

[0104] In this embodiment, the time length of the first target period can be based on user customization.

[0105] The UAV end can periodically and continuously send the second information to the control end or the communication device end.

[0106] In some embodiments, the second information can also be sent based on a preset condition.

[0107] For example, in the case that the environment where the communication device is located is a poor communication signal environment, or the signal of the control terminal is poor, after the communication device receives the second information sent by the UAV terminal, the communication device actively forwards the second information to one or more control terminals in the vicinity, so as to determine whether the communication connection between the UAV terminal and the control terminal is established by each control terminal.

[0108] In some embodiments, in the case that the communication device is located in an area with good communication quality, the operation can not be performed based on the received second information.

[0109] According to the communication method of the UAV provided in the embodiments of the present application, by providing a plurality of triggering sending modes of the second information, the second information can be quickly and sensitively sent in the case that a plurality of factors cause the disconnection between the UAV terminal and the controller terminal, so as to quickly reconnect the UAV terminal and the control terminal, has a high response rate, helps to improve the communication connection rate, and has a wide application scenario, thereby helping to improve the user experience.

[0110] Step 120, in the case that the third information sent by the control terminal is received, the sending of the second information is stopped; the third information is generated by the control terminal after the identity verification of the UAV terminal based on the second information is passed;

[0111] In this step, the third information is the confirmation information generated by the control terminal after the identity verification of the UAV terminal based on the second information is passed, for example, can be the confirmation information generated by the control terminal after successfully demodulating the data sent by the UAV terminal based on the encryption algorithm.

[0112] In some embodiments, the third information can include at least one of connection success information, identity information of the UAV terminal, identity information of the control terminal, and control information and data information.

[0113] In this embodiment, the connection success information can be authentication success, which is used to inform the UAV terminal that the communication connection is successful.

[0114] The control information is related information used to control the UAV.

[0115] The data information includes data related information transmitted after the UAV terminal and the control terminal establish a normal communication connection.

[0116] It can be understood that in the actual execution process, after the control terminal passes the identity verification of the UAV terminal, the control terminal can send the control information and the data information together when sending the confirmation information of the successful communication connection to the UAV terminal, so as to directly enter the normal data transmission process.

[0117] After the UAV terminal receives the third information sent by the control terminal, the sending of the second information is triggered to stop.

[0118] Step 130, a communication connection is established with the control terminal.

[0119] In this step, after the third information sent by the control terminal is received at the UAV terminal, a normal communication connection can be established with the control terminal to enter a normal data transceiving process.

[0120] The specific implementation manner of the present application will be described below taking the control terminal as a car machine control terminal as an example.

[0121] It can be understood that in actual execution process, the car machine control terminal can be a high-speed mobile terminal.

[0122] Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, after the UAV terminal establishes a communication connection with the control terminal, normal data transceiving is performed.

[0123] The car machine control terminal is in a moving or stationary state, and the UAV terminal periodically sends the second information to the control terminal and the surrounding communication equipment terminal during the flight of the UAV; or, when the car machine control terminal is predicted to enter a tunnel or other situation that may be disconnected from the control terminal, the sending of the second information to the control terminal and the surrounding communication equipment terminal is triggered.

[0124] After the control terminal receives the second information, the second information is parsed and identity verified, and in the case that the identity verification of the UAV terminal is passed, the third information for informing the UAV terminal to establish a communication connection is sent to the UAV terminal.

[0125] After the third information sent by the control terminal is received at the UAV terminal, a normal communication connection can be established with the control terminal to perform normal data transceiving.

[0126] The inventor found in the research and development process that in the related art, when the UAV terminal establishes a communication connection with the control terminal, it often needs to go through multiple steps such as scanning, authentication, association, and four handshakes, and the process redundancy affects the communication establishment rate, and the communication establishment failure rate is high.

[0127] In the present application, the UAV terminal actively sends the second information for establishing a communication connection to the first target terminal for the surrounding control terminal to receive, after the control terminal receives the second information and the identity verification of the UAV terminal based on the second information is passed, the third information for informing the communication connection success is sent to the UAV terminal, so as to enter a normal data transceiving process, the steps are simple and fast, the connection efficiency is high and has high security; in addition, it also reduces the risk of communication connection failure caused by weak signal or data error to a certain extent, and realizes the rapid establishment of the communication connection between the UAV terminal and the control terminal.

[0128] According to the communication method of the unmanned aerial vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second information for establishing the communication connection is actively sent to the first target end by the unmanned aerial vehicle end, and the third information for informing the successful communication connection is sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle end after the second information is received by the control end and the identity verification of the unmanned aerial vehicle end is passed based on the second information, so that the normal data transmission and reception is performed, the quick connection after the communication disconnection between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the control end is realized, the method is applied to various scenes, and has a high connection success rate.

[0129] As shown in FIG. 3, in some embodiments, before step 120, the method can further include:

[0130] In the case that the communication between the unmanned aerial vehicle end and the control end is disconnected, receiving the first information sent by the first target end;

[0131] Based on the first information, determining the target moving direction;

[0132] Moving based on the target moving direction.

[0133] In this embodiment, the first target end can include the control end or the communication device end around the unmanned aerial vehicle end.

[0134] The first information can be directly sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle end by the control end, or can be sent to the communication device end by the control end and forwarded to the unmanned aerial vehicle end by the communication device end.

[0135] The first information is the control end related information.

[0136] The first information includes information for representing the position information of the control end, wherein the information for representing the position information of the control end can include the position information of the control end, or can be the position information of the communication device end.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first information can include at least one of the ID information, the speed and the encryption algorithm of the control end.

[0138] It should be noted that in the case that the control end and the unmanned aerial vehicle end have completed pairing in advance, the first information sent by the control end further includes the control end information containing the unmanned aerial vehicle end information.

[0139] In this embodiment, the ID information of the control end can include the BSSID and the SSID.

[0140] The target moving direction is the predicted self flight direction, and the target moving direction should be consistent with the moving direction of the control end or the position direction where the control end is located.

[0141] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the manner in which the UAV end listens to the first information can be a manner of active listening, that is, the UAV end actively receives the first information sent by the first target end only when it is determined that the communication with the control end is disconnected.

[0142] In some embodiments, the UAV end actively receives the first information sent by the first target end only when it is determined that the communication with the control end is disconnected, which can include:

[0143] In a case where the UAV end does not receive the AP signal (such as a control signal) sent by the control end for more than a first time length, or the quality of the control signal sent by the control end received by the UAV end is poor (such as the values of SNR, SINR and BLER do not reach the expectation), the UAV end actively receives the first information sent by the first target end.

[0144] After the UAV receives the first information, the UAV can determine a target moving direction based on the first information, and fly based on the target moving direction during disconnection with the control end to realize following of the control end.

[0145] It should be noted that, the UAV end receiving the first information and moving based on the determined target moving direction can be synchronized with the UAV end sending the second message, so as to realize quick communication reconnection with the control end while following the control end.

[0146] The inventors have also found in the development process that the communication connection manner between the UAV and the control end in the related art is mainly used in a scenario where the position of the control end is fixed and unchanged, and cannot be well applied to a scenario where the control end moves, especially when the control end moves to an area where the communication signal is weak, the UAV end and the control end can be disconnected, and the UAV can lose the flight direction.

[0147] In the present application, the UAV end actively receives the first information sent by the first target end to predict the target moving direction based on the first information to realize following flight of the control end when the communication between the UAV end and the control end is disconnected, which can be applied to various scenarios such as fixed or moving control end and poor communication quality, and realizes that the UAV end can automatically predict the moving direction of the control end to realize flight following when the communication between the UAV end and the control end is disconnected, realizes automatic tracking of the vehicle, and has high robustness.

[0148] According to the communication method of the UAV provided in the embodiments of the present application, the UAV end actively receives the first information sent by the first target end to predict the target moving direction based on the first information to realize following flight of the control end when the communication between the UAV end and the control end is disconnected, which can realize active following flight of the UAV end in various scenarios, has high robustness and good data transmission efficiency.

[0149] The determination of the target moving direction is described as follows.

[0150] In some embodiments, the determination of the target moving direction based on the first information can include:

[0151] The position information with the largest number of identical position information among the position information included in the plurality of first information is determined as the target position information.

[0152] The target moving direction is determined based on the target position information.

[0153] In this embodiment, the target position information is the predicted possible current position of the control end that the drone end should follow.

[0154] For example, the drone end can determine that the control end is more likely to be in a certain direction when the received position information in the area is more, and then determine the direction as the target moving direction, and the drone flies to the area.

[0155] In some embodiments, the determination of the target moving direction based on the first information can include:

[0156] The sending direction of the first information is determined based on the first information.

[0157] The target moving direction is determined based on the sending direction.

[0158] In this embodiment, the built-in algorithm of the drone can be used to analyze the received plurality of first information, determine the direction in which the control end is likely to be, and obtain the target moving direction.

[0159] For example, when it is determined based on the received plurality of first information that the first information is mainly sent along a certain same sending direction, the sending direction can be approximately determined as the moving direction of the control end, and then the target moving direction is determined.

[0160] Of course, in other embodiments, other implementable algorithms can also be used to confirm the target moving direction, which is not limited in the present application.

[0161] In some embodiments, the target moving direction can also be determined by combining two or more of the above determination methods.

[0162] According to the communication method of the drone provided in the embodiments of the present application, the determination of the target moving direction can be flexibly selected based on the actual situation, and the calculation accuracy is high.

[0163] In some embodiments, the method can further include:

[0164] In the case that the communication between the drone end and the control end is disconnected, the transmission of the target data to the control end is stopped.

[0165] In this embodiment, the target data can include image data collected by the UAV and other data.

[0166] In the case that the communication between the UAV and the control terminal is disconnected, the transmission of the target data to the control terminal is stopped, so as to solve the technical problem that invalid data transmission is still performed when the UAV and the control terminal are disconnected, and thus the transmission of data is not wasted by using extra power or energy.

[0167] Meanwhile, the UAV actively monitors the first information sent by the first target terminal to determine the moving direction of the target.

[0168] In addition, the UAV can also send second information to the first target terminal to attempt to re-establish the communication connection with the control terminal, and after receiving the third information sent by the control terminal, the transmission of the target data to the control terminal is re-performed.

[0169] In some embodiments, after step 110, the method can further include:

[0170] In the case that the third information is not received within the second time length, the transmission of the second information is stopped.

[0171] In this embodiment, the second time length can be customized by a user, such as being set as a relatively long time value, or can be predefined based on a protocol, or can be implemented based on the control terminal.

[0172] In the case that the third information is not received within the second time length, it can be considered that the connection fails, and thus the transmission of information is stopped to save the energy consumption of the UAV.

[0173] Embodiments of the present application also provide a communication method of a UAV.

[0174] The communication method of the UAV is applied to a control terminal.

[0175] As shown in FIG. 4, the communication method of the UAV includes steps 410, 420, 430 and 440.

[0176] Step 410: receiving second information sent by a second target terminal;

[0177] In this step, the second target terminal can include a communication device terminal around the UAV terminal or the control terminal.

[0178] The second information includes relevant information for establishing a communication connection between the UAV terminal and the control terminal in the case that the communication between the UAV terminal and the control terminal is disconnected.

[0179] In some embodiments, the second information can include at least one of identity information of the UAV terminal, identity information of the control terminal, data encrypted based on an encryption algorithm, location information of the UAV terminal, and connection request information.

[0180] For example, the second information can be directly sent by the UAV terminal to the control terminal, or the second information can be sent by the UAV terminal to the communication device terminal, and then forwarded to the surrounding control terminal after the second information is received by the communication device terminal.

[0181] Step 420, identity verification of the UAV terminal based on the second information;

[0182] In this step, after the control terminal receives the second information, identity verification of the UAV terminal based on the second information can be performed.

[0183] In some embodiments, step 420 can include demodulating the second information based on an encryption algorithm.

[0184] The encryption algorithm can be any implementable encryption algorithm, which is not limited in the present application.

[0185] Step 430, sending third information to the UAV terminal in the case of identity verification passing;

[0186] In this step, the third information is used for the UAV terminal to establish a communication connection with the control terminal.

[0187] Identity verification passing can include successfully demodulating the second information based on an encryption algorithm.

[0188] After the control terminal confirms the identity of the UAV terminal, the third information can be sent to the UAV terminal for confirmation.

[0189] In some embodiments, the third information can include at least one of connection success information, identity information of the UAV terminal, identity information of the control terminal, and control information and data information.

[0190] In some embodiments, in the case of identity verification not passing, the present process can be ended.

[0191] Step 440, establishing a communication connection with the UAV terminal.

[0192] In this step, after the UAV terminal receives the third information sent by the control terminal, it is considered that the connection with the control terminal is successful, and data transmission and reception can be performed.

[0193] In some embodiments, after the control terminal performs identity verification on the UAV terminal and passes, the control terminal can send control information and data information together while sending confirmation information of the communication connection success to the UAV terminal, so as to directly enter a normal data transmission process.

[0194] According to the communication method of the unmanned aerial vehicle provided in the embodiments of the present application, the second information for establishing the communication connection is actively sent to the first target end by the unmanned aerial vehicle end, and the third information for informing the successful communication connection is sent to the unmanned aerial vehicle end after the second information is received by the control end and the identity verification of the unmanned aerial vehicle end is passed based on the second information, so that the normal data transmission and reception is performed, the quick connection after the communication disconnection between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the control end is realized, the method is applied to various scenes, and has a high connection success rate.

[0195] In some embodiments, the method can further include sending the first information to the second target end.

[0196] In this embodiment, the first information includes information for representing the position information of the control end, and the first information is used for the unmanned aerial vehicle end to determine the target moving direction.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first information can include at least one of the ID information, the speed and the encryption algorithm of the control end.

[0198] The second target end can be the unmanned aerial vehicle end, or can also be the control end or the communication device end around the unmanned aerial vehicle end.

[0199] In some embodiments, sending the first information to the second target end can be periodic and / or triggered to send the first information to the second target end.

[0200] In the case that the unmanned aerial vehicle end communicates normally with the control end, the unmanned aerial vehicle end can not receive the first information.

[0201] In the case that the unmanned aerial vehicle end communicates with the control end or the communication effect is poor, the unmanned aerial vehicle end can actively receive the first information, so as to calculate the target moving direction and realize the flight following.

[0202] The sending mode of the first information is described below.

[0203] In some embodiments, sending the first information to the second target end can include:

[0204] In the case that it is predicted that the communication with the unmanned aerial vehicle end will be disconnected, the first information is sent to the second target end.

[0205] In this embodiment, predicting that the communication with the unmanned aerial vehicle end will be disconnected can include: in the case that it is determined that the communication signal will be poor in the area to be entered based on the position information, it is determined that the communication with the unmanned aerial vehicle end will be disconnected.

[0206] For example, in the case that the controller end is about to enter a tunnel or an underground parking lot, it is considered that the communication with the control end will be disconnected, and then the sending of the first information is triggered.

[0207] In some embodiments, sending the first information to the second target end can comprise:

[0208] sending the first information to the second target end based on the second target period.

[0209] In this embodiment, the length of the second target period can be based on user customization.

[0210] The control end can periodically continue to send the first information to the UAV end or the communication device end.

[0211] In some embodiments, a preset condition can also be set, so that the communication device end in an area with poor communication signals can actively send the received first information to the UAV end after receiving the first information (such as AP information containing UAV end information).

[0212] According to the communication method of the UAV provided in the embodiments of the present application, by providing multiple trigger sending modes of the first information, the first information can be quickly and sensitively sent for the UAV end to follow the flight in the case that the UAV end and the controller end are disconnected due to multiple factors, which has a wide application scenario, solves the problem of the flight trajectory of the UAV when the UAV and the controller are disconnected, improves the stability of the UAV operation, and thus improves the user experience.

[0220] In some embodiments, a preset condition can also be set, so that the communication device end in an area with poor communication signals can actively send the received second information to the nearby control end after receiving the second information.
