[0002] Currently, mobile platform products such as aircraft are increasingly being used for aerial photography, transportation, spraying, and other operational tasks, bringing convenience to people's lives and work. However, in related technologies, mobile platforms either lack relay functionality altogether, or they support relay functionality through built-in hardware configurations during manufacturing. In other words, whether a mobile platform supports relay functionality is predetermined before it leaves the factory, and users cannot flexibly change or configure it. This limits its use in different mission scenarios and fails to meet diverse usage needs. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.

[0049] It should be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0050] It should also be understood that the term "and / or" as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0051] In related technologies, mobile platforms either never have relay functionality, or they support relay functionality by having built-in relay-related hardware configurations at the beginning of their manufacturing process. In other words, whether a mobile platform supports relay functionality is fixed before it leaves the factory, and users cannot flexibly change or configure it. This limits its use for different task scenarios and fails to meet diverse usage needs.

[0052] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a mobile platform and its control method, extensions, system, device, and medium to improve the applicability of the mobile platform. Some embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic block diagram of a relay service system provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the relay service system 1000 includes a mobile platform 100 and a removable relay extension 200. The mobile platform 100 can establish a wired or wireless communication connection with the removable relay extension 200. The relay service system 1000, as a relay node, can realize relay communication between other external devices.

[0054] The mobile platform 100 can be a manned platform or an unmanned platform. The mobile platform 100 can be a land-based mobile platform, such as a land robot or vehicle; it can also be a water-based or underwater mobile platform; it can also be an air-based mobile platform, such as an aircraft, including multi-rotor aircraft and fixed-wing aircraft. The mobile platform 100 can also be an amphibious mobile platform, such as a flying car.

[0055] The removable relay extension 200 can be a removable relay extension dongle, but it can also be other hardware, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0056] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the mobile platform 100 includes a first communication component 101, a first interface 102, and one or more processors 103, etc. The removable relay extension 200 includes a second communication component 201 and a second interface 202, etc.

[0057] The first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 is used for communication, including communication with the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200, and communication with external devices. The first communication component 101 includes a receiving component and / or a transmitting component. The receiving component and the transmitting component can be integrated together or set separately, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0058] The first interface 102 of the portable platform 100 can be located at a preset position on the body of the portable platform 100. This preset position may include, but is not limited to, the bottom of the portable platform 100. The first interface 102 being located at this preset position avoids obstructing or interfering with the communication of the first communication component 101. The first interface 102 can be a software interface or a hardware interface. The first interface 102 is used to cooperate with the second interface 202 of the removable repeater extension 200 to achieve a removable connection between the portable platform 100 and the removable repeater extension 200.

[0059] The removable repeater extension 200 can be used as an external extension of the mobile platform 100, and can be flexibly configured according to application needs. For example, when the mobile platform 100 performs a repeater task, the removable repeater extension 200 can be connected to the mobile platform 100 so that the mobile platform, which originally does not support repeater function, can support repeater function. Compared with the built-in fixed repeater hardware, it has greater flexibility and users can configure it flexibly according to actual needs.

[0060] For example, the first interface 102 cooperates with the second interface 202 to realize signal transmission and power transmission between the first interface 102 and the second interface 202. For instance, when the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are in a cooperative state, when signal transmission occurs between the first interface 102 and the second interface 202, communication is realized between the mobile platform 100 and the removable repeater extension 200; when power transmission occurs between the first interface 102 and the second interface 202, the mobile platform 100 supplies power to the removable repeater extension 200, or the removable repeater extension 200 supplies power to the mobile platform 100.

[0061] It should be noted that a removable connection means that the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 can be connected together or disconnected. The removable connection method can be configured according to actual needs, for example, by using a quick-release mechanism to achieve a removable connection.

[0062] For example, the first interface 102 is used to achieve a removable connection with the second interface 202 through mutual plugging and unplugging. That is, the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are inserted into each other to achieve a mating state, enabling the movable platform 100 to connect to the removable repeater extension 200; the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are unplugged from each other to achieve a disconnection state, enabling the movable platform 100 to disconnect from the removable repeater extension 200. In actual use, considering that the removable repeater extension 200 is lighter and more portable than the movable platform 100, the user can plug the second interface 202 into the first interface 102 to achieve a removable connection between the movable platform 100 and the removable repeater extension 200. When not in use, the user can unplug the second interface 202 from the first interface 102. The operation is simple and convenient, making it easy for users to get started. Of course, in addition to plug-in connection, the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 can also cooperate in other ways, such as snap-fit ​​connection, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0063] For example, the mobile platform 100 also includes a power supply component, which can be a DC power source, such as a dry cell battery, or an AC power source; no limitation is made in this embodiment. The power supply component provides energy to the mobile platform 100 and the removable repeater extension 200. For example, when the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are in a mating state, the power supply component can supply power to the removable repeater extension 200.

[0064] The second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 is used for communication, including communication with the first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 and communication with external devices. The second communication component 201 includes a receiving component and / or a transmitting component, which can be integrated together or set separately, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0065] The second interface 202 of the removable repeater extension 200 can be a software interface or a hardware interface. The second interface 202 can also be located at a preset position on the removable repeater extension 200 to avoid obstructing or interfering with the communication of the second communication component 201. The second interface 202 is used to cooperate with the first interface 102 of the mobile platform 100 to achieve a removable connection between the mobile platform 100 and the removable repeater extension 200.

[0066] For example, the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201 differ in at least one aspect of their operating frequency band, modulation scheme, data format, and communication protocol. After the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are in a cooperative state to establish a communication connection between the mobile platform 100 and the removable relay extension 200, the mobile platform 100 can communicate through either the first communication component 101 or the second communication component 201. Since the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201 differ in at least one aspect of their operating frequency band, modulation scheme, data format, and communication protocol, the mobile platform 100 can communicate based on multiple operating frequency bands, multiple modulation schemes, multiple data formats, and / or multiple communication protocols, thereby expanding the capabilities of the mobile platform 100 in at least one aspect of its operating frequency band, modulation scheme, data format, and communication protocol.

[0067] For example, the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201 use different communication frequencies. For instance, the first communication component 101 uses communication frequency A, and the second communication component 201 uses communication frequency B. After the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are in a cooperative state to establish a communication connection between the mobile platform 100 and the removable relay extension 200, the mobile platform 100 can communicate either through the first communication component 101 based on communication frequency A, or through the second communication component 201 based on communication frequency B, thereby expanding the communication frequencies of the mobile platform 100.

[0068] Of course, the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201 can also use the same communication frequency, and the communication capability of the extended mobile platform 100 can be achieved through time division multiplexing.

[0069] For example, the first communication component 101 has the same communication frequency as one of the first external device and the second external device; the second communication component 201 has the same communication frequency as the other of the first external device and the second external device.

[0070] For example, when the removable relay extension 200 is connected to the mobile platform 100, the mobile platform 100 has two operating modes: relay mode and non-relay mode. In relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can perform relay tasks, acting as a relay node to achieve relay communication between external devices. In non-relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can perform non-relay tasks, including but not limited to shooting, spraying, spreading, and transporting tasks. The operating mode can be flexibly selected according to different task scenarios, thus improving the applicability of the mobile platform 100 to different task scenarios. By configuring the removable relay extension 200 as a hardware form, the mobile platform 100, which originally did not have relay functionality, can flexibly support relay functionality, offering strong scalability and convenient modification.

[0071] One or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 may be microcontroller units (MCUs), central processing units (CPUs), or digital signal processors (DSPs), etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, one or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 are individually or collectively configured to:

[0073] When the second interface 202 is in a mating state with the first interface 102, the movable platform 100 is controlled to switch between a non-relay mode and a relay mode. In relay mode, one of the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201 receives relay-related data from the first external device and sends the relay-related data to the other of the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201, enabling the other of the first communication component 101 and the second communication component 201 to send the relay-related data to the second external device, thereby realizing relay communication between the first external device and the second external device; and

[0074] When the removable relay extension 200 is removed from the mobile platform 100, causing the second interface 202 to be disconnected from the first interface 102, the relay mode of the mobile platform 100 is disabled.

[0075] It should be noted that in this application embodiment, disability means loss of ability and lack of support for the function. Therefore, the relay mode disability of the mobile platform 100 means that the mobile platform 100 no longer supports the relay function and no longer has the ability to relay.

[0076] The first external device and the second external device include a relayed mobile platform and a relayed control terminal, respectively.

[0077] The control terminal (the relayed control terminal) can be a mobile phone, tablet, computer, or other terminal device; it can also be a remote control; or a portable wearable device, such as a head-mounted wearable device (e.g., glasses), a wrist-worn wearable device (e.g., a watch, a bracelet); or a server. Wearable devices include head-mounted display devices, which can include virtual reality (VR) display devices or first-person view (FPV) display devices. The control terminal can include output devices such as display devices, for example, for image / video output display. Optionally, the display device of the control terminal can be a touch screen with touch functionality. The display device can be integrated into the control terminal; in this case, the control terminal and the display device are integrated together. In other alternative embodiments, the display device can also be external. The control terminal can include a user interface, which can include, for example, an input device, such as a touch screen, joystick, button, dial, or other physical controls, for receiving user input control operations. The control terminal can generate control commands for the movable platform 100 based on the user control operations detected by the input device.

[0078] Relay-related data includes data related to image transmission, such as images / videos, between the first and second external devices, or data related to control, such as operation control commands. Typically, the amount of data related to image transmission is larger, while the amount of data related to control is smaller.

[0079] In some embodiments, in relay mode, the second communication component 201 of the mobile platform 100 can receive relay-related data from the first external device and send the relay-related data to the first communication component 101, enabling the first communication component 101 to send the relay-related data to the second external device. The mobile platform 100 establishes a communication link with the first external device via the removable relay extension 200, while maintaining a non-relay mode communication link with the second external device.

[0080] For example, the first external device includes a relayed mobile platform, such as an aircraft, and the second external device includes a relayed control terminal, such as a remote controller or a mobile phone.

[0081] For example, when the mobile platform 100 switches from relay mode to non-relay mode, the first communication component 101 maintains a communication connection with the second external device. When the mobile platform 100 switches from relay mode to non-relay mode, the second communication component 201 disconnects from the first external device. In other words, when the mobile platform 100 switches between non-relay mode and relay mode, the communication link between the mobile platform 100 and the second external device remains unchanged, thus eliminating communication interruptions and delays caused by the switching of the communication link between the mobile platform 100 and the second external device.

[0082] To illustrate with an example scenario, suppose the mobile platform 100 is aircraft a, the first external device is aircraft b, and the second external device is a remote controller. Regarding the communication link, there are two possible scenarios.

[0083] In scenario one, as shown in Figure 4, the remote controller and aircraft b can communicate bidirectionally via downlink and uplink. For the downlink, aircraft b can send captured image or video data to a removable relay extension. The removable relay extension receives this image or video data through its second communication component and transmits the data to aircraft a. Aircraft a then sends the received image or video data to the remote controller via its first communication component, allowing the remote controller to display the image or video data. For the uplink, the remote controller can send control commands to aircraft b to aircraft a. Aircraft a receives the control commands via its first communication component and sends them to the removable relay extension. The removable relay extension then sends the received control commands to aircraft b via its second communication component, thus enabling the remote controller to control aircraft b accordingly.

[0084] In Scenario 1, further, in non-relay mode, the remote controller and aircraft a can also perform non-relay tasks through bidirectional communication via downlink and uplink. After connecting the removable relay extension, aircraft a can communicate with aircraft b, which was originally unable to communicate, through the removable relay extension, thus realizing relay communication between aircraft b and the remote controller. This setup ensures that while aircraft a and the removable relay extension remain connected, the communication link between the remote controller and aircraft a remains unaffected regardless of whether it is in relay or non-relay mode; it simply needs to be enabled without repeated switching that could lead to communication interruptions and reconnections, resulting in unnecessary latency. This approach is applicable to most application scenarios because most aircraft a typically have the ability to communicate with the remote controller, and maintaining communication between aircraft a and the remote controller is easily achieved.

[0085] Scenario 2, as shown in Figure 5, allows for bidirectional communication between the remote controller and the removable relay extension via downlink and uplink. For the downlink, aircraft b can send captured image or video data to aircraft a. Aircraft a receives this image or video data via its first communication component and transmits the data to the removable relay extension. The removable relay extension then transmits the received image or video data to the remote controller via its second communication component, allowing the remote controller to display the image or video data. For the uplink, the remote controller can send control commands to aircraft b to the removable relay extension. The removable relay extension receives the control commands via its second communication component and sends them to aircraft a. Aircraft a then transmits the received control commands to aircraft b via its first communication component, thus enabling the remote controller to control aircraft b accordingly.

[0086] In scenario two, further, in non-relay mode, aircraft A and aircraft B can also perform non-relay tasks through bidirectional communication via downlink and uplink. After connecting the removable relay extension, aircraft A can communicate with the remote controller, which was previously unable to communicate, thus achieving relay communication between aircraft B and the remote controller. This setup ensures that while aircraft A and the removable relay extension remain connected, the communication link between aircraft A and aircraft B remains unaffected regardless of whether they are in relay or non-relay mode. It only needs to be enabled, eliminating the need for repeated switching that could lead to communication interruptions and reconnections, resulting in unnecessary latency. This approach is particularly suitable for fleet scenarios because, in such scenarios, different aircraft typically have communication capabilities, making it easy to maintain communication between aircraft A and B. However, not all aircraft possess the ability to communicate with the remote controller.

[0087] When a removable relay extension is connected to a mobile platform, the mobile platform will switch to relay mode. If the mobile platform wants to switch back to non-relay mode, the relay extension needs to be removed again. When the mobile platform needs to switch between relay mode and non-relay mode, it is necessary to repeatedly connect and remove the relay extension. This operation is cumbersome and will cause the mobile platform's tasks to be interrupted during the operation, affecting work efficiency.

[0088] In this embodiment, by controlling the mobile platform 100 to switch between non-relay mode and relay mode, not only can the working mode be flexibly selected as needed, improving the applicability of the mobile platform 100 to different task scenarios, but also the user does not need to repeatedly connect and remove the removable relay extension 200 in order to switch the working mode of the mobile platform 100, thereby avoiding the frequent manual operation and task interruption problems caused by repeatedly connecting and removing the removable relay extension 200.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the removable relay extension is connected to the mobile platform, in relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can achieve relay capability with the help of the removable relay extension 200; in non-relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can still reuse the hardware of the removable relay extension 200 to improve its own communication capability. The mobile platform 100 can flexibly configure its own and the removable relay extension 200's hardware, for example, in non-relay mode, it can also use the hardware on the removable relay extension for communication and data transmission; thus, in the connected situation, whether in relay mode or non-relay mode, the removable relay extension 200 can be fully utilized to improve its own communication capability and enhance the utilization efficiency of the removable relay extension 200.

[0090] For example, the mobile platform 100 can implement relay communication functions and other communication functions besides relay communication by means of the removable relay extension 200. For example, the mobile platform 100 can implement communication functions such as frequency band extension, antenna extension, and multi-carrier transmission by means of the removable relay extension 200.

[0091] Of course, the removable repeater extension 200 can also achieve communication functions such as frequency band extension, antenna extension, and multi-carrier transmission by means of the movable platform 100.

[0092] For example, if the portable platform 100 does not support sub2G, but the removable repeater extension 200 does support sub2G, and the removable repeater extension 200 is connected to the portable platform 100, the portable platform 100 can support sub2G in non-repeater mode.

[0093] For another example, if the mobile platform 100 can only communicate with the control terminal using a single carrier, and the removable relay extension 200 can communicate using dual carriers, then when the removable relay extension 200 is connected to the mobile platform 100, the mobile platform 100 can achieve the capability of dual carriers and a control terminal in non-relay mode.

[0094] In non-relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 to perform non-relay tasks, thereby expanding the communication capabilities and range of the mobile platform 100 in non-relay mode and further improving its applicability to different task scenarios. This allows the mobile platform 100 to implement relay communication functions and other communication functions beyond relay communication when the relay extension component 200 is connected to it.

[0095] For example, in non-relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can establish a communication connection with a target external device via a removable relay extension 200 to enable communication between the mobile platform 100 and the target external device.

[0096] The target external device can be a first external device, a second external device, or a third external device that is different from the first and second external devices.

[0097] That is, when the removable relay extension 200 is connected to the mobile platform 100, the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to communicate with the target external device in non-relay mode.

[0098] For example, assuming the first communication component 101 uses communication frequency A and the second communication component 201 uses communication frequency B, if the target external device uses communication frequency A, the mobile platform 100 can establish a communication connection with the target external device via the first communication component 101 based on communication frequency A in non-relay mode. If the target external device uses communication frequency B, the mobile platform 100 can establish a communication connection with the target external device via the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 based on communication frequency B in non-relay mode. This expands the communication capability of the mobile platform 100 in non-relay mode and extends its communication range.

[0099] For example, the first communication component 101 can send data to the target external device by means of the second communication component 201, and / or the first communication component 101 can receive data from the target external device by means of the second communication component 201.

[0100] For example, assuming the first communication component 101 uses communication frequency A, the second communication component 201 uses communication frequency B, and the target external device uses communication frequency B, when the mobile platform 100 needs to send data to the target external device, the first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 can send data to the target external device based on communication frequency B using the second communication component 201. Alternatively, when the target external device sends data to the mobile platform 100, the first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 can receive the data sent by the target external device based on communication frequency B using the second communication component 201.

[0101] For example, as shown in FIG6(a), when the removable relay extension 200 is connected to the mobile platform 100, in relay mode, the first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 can receive relay-related data sent from the first external device 300 to the second communication component 201, and send the relay-related data to the second external device 400, thereby realizing relay communication between the first external device 300 and the second external device 400. Accordingly, as shown in Figure 6(b), in non-relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to communicate with the first external device 300 or the third external device 500. For example, the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to send data to the first external device 300 or the third external device 500, or the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to receive data sent by the first external device 300 or the third external device 500.

[0102] In other embodiments, in relay mode, the first communication component 101 can receive relay-related data from the first external device and send the relay-related data to the second communication component 201, so that the second communication component 201 can send the relay-related data to the second external device; correspondingly, the target external device includes at least one of the second external device and the third external device, wherein the third external device is different from the first external device and the second external device.

[0103] For example, as shown in FIG7(a), when the removable relay extension 200 is connected to the mobile platform 100, in relay mode, the first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 can receive relay-related data sent by the first external device 300 and send the relay-related data to the second communication component 201. The second communication component 201 can then send the relay-related data to the second external device 400, thereby realizing relay communication between the first external device 300 and the second external device 400. Accordingly, as shown in Figure 7(b), in non-relay mode, the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to communicate with the second external device 400 or the third external device 500. For example, the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to send data to the second external device 400 or the third external device 500, or the mobile platform 100 can reuse the second communication component 201 of the removable relay extension 200 to receive data sent by the second external device 400 or the third external device 500.

[0104] In some embodiments, one or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 are individually or collectively configured to:

[0105] Based on the first switching condition, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode.

[0106] The first switching condition can be one or more conditions. When the first switching condition is detected, the mobile platform 100 is automatically controlled to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode, thereby making the mobile platform 100 more intelligent.

[0107] For example, the first switching condition includes at least one of the following:

[0108] The mobile platform 100 completes the task;

[0109] The mobile platform 100 completes the path task;

[0110] The remaining energy of the mobile platform 100 is less than the preset energy threshold;

[0111] A relay request has been received.

[0112] Receives confirmation or parameter configuration from the user regarding the relay mode;

[0113] The mobile platform was detected to be within the first preset area;

[0114] The mobile platform was detected to be within the first preset time period.

[0115] The operational tasks include, but are not limited to, photography, spraying, seeding, and transportation tasks. For example, if it is detected that the mobile platform 100 has completed a photography task and no longer needs to perform the task, or if it is detected that the mobile platform 100 has completed its flight path, the mobile platform 100 can be switched from non-relay mode to relay mode. This avoids interference with normal operational tasks and abnormal interruptions, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the mobile platform 100.

[0116] In practical applications, the mobile platform 100 generally does not need to move over a large area in relay mode; for example, it may remain stationary in one place. Therefore, relay mode does not require a large amount of kinetic energy, and the energy required (such as electrical power) is less than that needed for performing the task. Based on this, if the remaining energy of the mobile platform 100 is detected to be less than a preset energy threshold, it indicates that the remaining energy of the mobile platform 100 is not sufficient. At this time, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the mobile platform 100. It should be noted that the preset energy threshold can be flexibly set according to the situation, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions.

[0117] For another example, if the communication resources between the first external device and the second external device do not meet the normal communication conditions, such as different communication frequencies, a corresponding relay request can be sent to the mobile platform 100, for example, via a remote control. When a relay request is received, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode, thereby realizing relay communication between the first external device and the second external device.

[0118] For another example, as shown in Figure 8, the working mode setting interface of the mobile platform 100 displays relay mode settings and non-relay mode settings. When a user selects a relay mode setting and performs a working mode parameter configuration operation on the mobile platform 100, the system receives this user operation and controls the mobile platform 100 to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode. Users can select relay mode or non-relay mode as needed, improving the user's interactive experience.

[0119] For another example, if the mobile platform 100 is detected to be in the first preset area, such as within the helipad, it means that the mobile platform 100 does not need to perform any work tasks at present. In this case, the mobile platform 100 can be controlled to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode to avoid the mobile platform 100 being idle, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the mobile platform 100.

[0120] For another example, if it is detected that the mobile platform 100 is in a first preset time period, where the first preset time period can be a period during which the mobile platform 100 does not perform a task, that is, the mobile platform 100 is not currently performing a task, then the mobile platform 100 can be controlled to switch from non-relay mode to relay mode to avoid the mobile platform 100 being idle, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the mobile platform 100 and also facilitating the orderly execution of relay mode and non-relay mode, avoiding chaos.

[0121] In some embodiments, one or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 are individually or collectively configured to:

[0122] Based on the second switching condition, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to switch from relay mode to non-relay mode.

[0123] The second switching condition can be one or more conditions. When the second switching condition is detected, the mobile platform 100 is automatically controlled to switch from relay mode to non-relay mode, thereby making the mobile platform 100 more intelligent.

[0124] For example, the second switching condition includes at least one of the following:

[0125] Mobile platform 100 receives the job task;

[0126] Mobile platform 100 received the path task;

[0127] The remaining energy of the mobile platform 100 is greater than the preset energy threshold;

[0128] Received confirmation or parameter configuration from the user for non-relay mode;

[0129] The movable platform 100 was detected to be within the second preset area;

[0130] The movable platform 100 was detected to be within the second preset time period.

[0131] The control strategy for switching the mobile platform 100 from relay mode to non-relay mode based on the second switching condition is relative to the control strategy for switching the mobile platform 100 from non-relay mode to relay mode based on the first switching condition. For details, please refer to the control strategy for switching the mobile platform 100 from non-relay mode to relay mode based on the first switching condition, which will not be repeated here.

[0132] In some embodiments, one or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 are individually or collectively configured to:

[0133] In response to the detection that the second interface 202 is engaged with the first interface 102, a first trigger signal is generated; and

[0134] Based on the first trigger signal, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically switch to relay mode or issue a first prompt message to prompt the user to enter relay mode.

[0135] For example, the first trigger signal includes at least one of a voltage signal, a current signal, and a power signal. For instance, when the second interface 202 engages with the first interface 102 via insertion, a corresponding current signal is generated, and the mobile platform 100 is automatically switched to relay mode based on this current signal. Alternatively, instead of controlling the mobile platform 100 to automatically switch to relay mode, a first prompt message is issued, prompting the user to manually control the mobile platform 100 to switch to relay mode. The first prompt message includes, but is not limited to, at least one of voice prompts and graphic / text prompts.

[0136] For example, the first trigger signal includes a high-level signal. For instance, when the second interface 202 engages with the first interface 102 via insertion, a corresponding high-level signal (e.g., a voltage signal greater than a certain voltage threshold) is generated, and the movable platform 100 is automatically switched to relay mode based on this high-level signal. Alternatively, instead of controlling the movable platform 100 to automatically switch to relay mode, a first prompt message is issued, prompting the user to manually control the movable platform 100 to switch to relay mode.

[0137] In some embodiments, one or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 are individually or collectively configured to:

[0138] Based on the first trigger signal and preset conditions, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically switch to relay mode or issue a first prompt message to prompt the user to enter relay mode.

[0139] That is, only when the second interface 202 cooperates with the first interface 102 to generate a first trigger signal, and when the preset conditions are met, will the movable platform 100 be controlled to automatically switch to relay mode or issue a first prompt message to prompt the user to enter relay mode.

[0140] For example, the preset conditions include at least one of the following situations:

[0141] The identities of the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 have been successfully matched.

[0142] The mobile platform 100 completes the task;

[0143] The mobile platform 100 completes the path task;

[0144] The remaining battery power of the portable platform 100 is less than the preset battery power threshold;

[0145] A relay request has been received.

[0146] Receives confirmation or parameter configuration from the user regarding the relay mode;

[0147] The movable platform 100 was detected to be within a preset area;

[0148] The mobile platform 100 was detected to be within a preset time period.

[0149] For example, when it is detected that the second interface 202 cooperates with the first interface 102 to generate a first trigger signal, and the first interface 102 and the second interface 202 are successfully paired, wherein successful pairing includes but is not limited to successful pairing of interface type and interface ID, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically switch to relay mode or issue a first prompt message to prompt the user to enter relay mode.

[0150] The control strategy for switching the mobile platform 100 to relay mode based on the first trigger signal and other preset conditions is similar to the control strategy for switching the mobile platform 100 from non-relay mode to relay mode based on the first switching condition. For details, please refer to the control strategy for switching the mobile platform 100 from non-relay mode to relay mode based on the first switching condition, which will not be repeated here.

[0151] In some embodiments, one or more processors 103 of the mobile platform 100 are individually or collectively configured to:

[0152] In response to detecting that the removal of the removable relay extension 200 from the movable platform 100 causes the second interface 202 to be disconnected from the first interface 102, a second trigger signal is generated; and

[0153] Based on the second trigger signal, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically exit relay mode or issue a second prompt message to notify the user that relay mode is disabled.

[0154] For example, the second trigger signal includes at least one of a voltage signal, a current signal, and a power signal. For instance, when the removable repeater extension 200 is removed from the portable platform 100, causing the second interface 202 to disconnect from the first interface 102, a corresponding voltage signal is generated, and the portable platform 100 is automatically controlled to exit repeater mode based on this voltage signal. Alternatively, instead of controlling the portable platform 100 to automatically exit repeater mode, a second prompt message is issued to inform the user that the repeater mode of the portable platform 100 is disabled. The second prompt message includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a voice prompt message and a graphic / text prompt message.

[0155] For example, the second trigger signal includes a low-level signal. For instance, when the removable repeater extension 200 is removed from the portable platform 100, causing the second interface 202 to disconnect from the first interface 102, a corresponding low-level signal (e.g., a voltage signal below a certain voltage threshold) is generated, and the portable platform 100 is automatically controlled to exit repeater mode based on this low-level signal. Alternatively, instead of controlling the portable platform 100 to automatically exit repeater mode, a second prompt message is issued to inform the user that the repeater mode of the portable platform 100 is disabled.

[0156] For example, the second trigger signal includes a zero signal, wherein the zero signal includes the signal corresponding to the disappearance of the first trigger signal. For instance, when the second interface 202 and the first interface 102 are in a mating state, the first trigger signal is continuously present. When the removable repeater extension 200 is removed from the mobile platform 100, causing the second interface 202 to be disconnected from the first interface 102, the first trigger signal disappears. Based on the disappearance of the first trigger signal, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically exit the repeater mode. Alternatively, instead of controlling the mobile platform 100 to automatically exit the repeater mode, a second prompt message is issued to inform the user that the repeater mode of the mobile platform 100 is disabled.

[0157] Based on a first trigger signal generated by the operation of the removable repeater extension 200 connecting to the mobile platform 100, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically switch to repeater mode or issue a first prompt message to alert the user to enter repeater mode; and based on a second trigger signal generated by the operation of removing the removable repeater extension 200 from the mobile platform 100, the mobile platform 100 is controlled to automatically exit repeater mode or issue a second prompt message to alert the user that repeater mode is disabled. In this way, the mobile platform 100's operating mode can be quickly switched or a prompt message can be issued to the user promptly based on the detected change in the connection state between the removable repeater extension 200 and the mobile platform 100.

[0158] This application embodiment also includes a removable relay extension 200, characterized in that it comprises:

[0159] A second communication component 201 is configured to communicate with a first communication component 101 of the mobile platform 100 in the foregoing embodiments; and

[0160] The second interface 202 is used to cooperate with the first interface 102 of the mobile platform 100 to enable a removable connection between the mobile platform 100 and the relay extension 200.

[0161] Further descriptions and limitations of the relevant features in the embodiments of this application can be found in the relevant sections of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0162] This application also includes a relay service system, characterized in that it comprises:

[0163] The mobile platform 100 and the removable relay extension 200 in the foregoing embodiments.

[0164] Further descriptions and limitations of the relevant features in the embodiments of this application can be found in the relevant sections of the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0165] Please refer to Figure 9, which is a schematic flowchart illustrating a control method for a mobile platform according to an embodiment of this application. This control method for a mobile platform can be applied to a mobile platform, a control terminal of a mobile platform, or a system composed of a mobile platform and a control terminal. Some steps are executed by the control terminal, and some steps are executed by the mobile platform; this application does not impose any limitations on this method.

[0166] As shown in Figure 9, the control method of the mobile platform specifically includes steps S101 and S102.

[0167] S101. When the second interface and the first interface are in a cooperative state, the movable platform is controlled to switch between non-relay mode and relay mode. In relay mode, one of the first communication component and the second communication component receives relay-related data from the first external device and sends the relay-related data to the other of the first communication component and the second communication component, so that the other of the first communication component and the second communication component can send the relay-related data to the second external device, thereby realizing relay communication between the first external device and the second external device.

[0168] S102. When the removable relay extension is removed from the mobile platform, causing the second interface to be disconnected from the first interface, the relay mode of the mobile platform is disabled.

[0169] The relevant descriptions and implementation methods in the embodiments of this application can be found in the relevant parts of the foregoing embodiments of the mobile platform, removable relay extension, and relay service system, and will not be repeated here.

[0170] By configuring a removable repeater extension, a portable platform that originally lacked repeater functionality can flexibly support repeater capabilities, offering strong scalability and easy modification. Furthermore, by automatically controlling the portable platform to switch between non-repeater and repeater modes, it not only allows for flexible selection of the operating mode as needed, improving the platform's applicability to different task scenarios, but also eliminates the need for users to repeatedly connect and remove the removable repeater extension to switch operating modes, thus avoiding frequent manual operations and task interruptions caused by repeated connection and removal of the extension.

[0171] Please refer to Figure 10, which is a schematic flowchart of another control method for a mobile platform provided by an embodiment of this application.

[0172] As shown in Figure 10, the control method of the mobile platform specifically includes steps S201 to S204.

[0173] S201. In response to detecting that the second interface is engaged with the first interface, a first trigger signal is generated;

[0174] S202. Based on the first trigger signal, control the mobile platform to automatically switch to relay mode or issue a first prompt message to prompt the user to enter relay mode;

[0175] S203, in response to detecting that the removal of the removable relay extension from the movable platform causes the second interface to be disconnected from the first interface, a second trigger signal is generated; and

[0176] S204. Based on the second trigger signal, control the mobile platform to automatically exit relay mode or issue a second prompt message to notify the user that relay mode is disabled.

[0177] In relay mode, one of the first communication component and the second communication component can receive relay-related data from the first external device and send the relay-related data to the other of the first communication component and the second communication component, so that the other of the first communication component and the second communication component can forward the relay-related data to the second external device, thereby realizing relay communication between the first external device and the second external device.

[0178] The relevant descriptions and implementation methods in the embodiments of this application can be found in the relevant parts of the foregoing embodiments of the mobile platform, removable relay extension, and relay service system, and will not be repeated here.

[0179] By configuring a removable repeater extension, a portable platform that originally lacked repeater functionality can flexibly support repeater capabilities, offering strong scalability and convenient modification. Furthermore, a first trigger signal generated by the removable repeater extension connecting to the portable platform controls the portable platform to automatically switch to repeater mode or issues a first prompt message to alert the user to enter repeater mode; conversely, a second trigger signal generated by the removable repeater extension from the portable platform controls the portable platform to automatically exit repeater mode or issues a second prompt message to alert the user that repeater mode is disabled. This allows for rapid switching of the portable platform's operating mode or prompts the user promptly based on changes in the detected connection status between the removable repeater extension and the portable platform.

[0180] The following uses a drone scenario as an example to illustrate the embodiments of this application in a specific application scenario.

[0181] Existing drones either have built-in relay functionality or not, and cannot flexibly support relay functionality through hardware expansion such as removable relay add-ons. Since relay functionality is implemented in the initial hardware configuration of existing drones, the hardware cost of relay is fixed. Users who do not need relay functionality do not save on the cost of purchasing a drone. Users who initially confirmed they did not need relay functionality but later changed their minds must purchase a new relay drone to resolve the issue. This solution has poor scalability, rendering devices without built-in relay functionality unusable as relay drones.

[0182] This application provides a relay drone device with a removable relay extension component. By setting an expandable interface on a regular drone, it can be transformed into a relay drone after the removable relay extension component is plugged in, expanding the capabilities of the regular drone and achieving dual-purpose functionality. The basic structure of this device is as follows: an interface part connecting to the drone, an antenna part, a radio frequency transceiver module, a baseband processing module, and data processing and forwarding hardware.

[0183] The removable repeater extension interface mainly includes the following parts: power supply line, as the removable repeater extension itself does not contain a power supply and needs to be powered by the drone through the removable repeater extension interface; hot-swap signal line, where the removable repeater extension outputs a voltage change, and the drone detects the insertion or removal of the removable repeater extension by comparing the voltage; and bidirectional communication interface, which enables data communication between the drone and the removable repeater extension.

[0184] Because the removable repeater extension can connect to both the remote controller and the relayed drone simultaneously, the RF hardware of the solution is flexible. It can establish communication between the removable repeater extension and the relayed drone, and between the relayed drone and the remote controller, or vice versa. Ultimately, this achieves the goal of establishing an indirect wireless connection between the remote controller and the relayed drone through the relayed drone. This solves the problem of indirect communication between the remote controller and the relayed drone when there are obstructions preventing direct communication, while simultaneously enabling effective communication links between the relayed drone and the remote controller, and between the relayed drone and the relayed drone.

[0185] The repeater function is switched on and off as follows: If the drone is not connected to the removable repeater extension accessory when powered on, it can be used normally as a regular drone. After the removable repeater extension accessory is properly inserted into the drone, the software can hot-swap and recognize the accessory, prompting the user to insert the repeater accessory on the drone's remote controller and guiding the user to activate the drone's repeater function, making it the relayed drone. If the drone is already connected to the removable repeater extension accessory when powered on, the drone will recognize the accessory after powering on, and the remote controller will prompt the user to activate the repeater function after the drone is connected to the remote controller, connecting to the relayed drone.

[0186] Removable repeater extensions can function as standalone expansion components, enabling drones to add repeater functionality that they didn't originally possess. This reduces the hardware cost of devices that don't require repeater capabilities and provides flexibility for upgrading ordinary drones to include repeater functionality. A drone equipped with a removable repeater extension has two sets of RF transceiver units (one on its own equipment and one on the removable repeater extension). The relay drone can flexibly configure and use both sets of hardware; for example, even when operating in non-repeater mode, it can still use the hardware on the removable repeater extension for communication and data transmission.
