Flight Route Setting Interface for Aerial Vehicles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current flight control methods for aerial vehicles, whether manual or automatic, are inefficient as they require constant user attention and lack intuitive feedback, leading to potential accidents and wasted time due to unclear task accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for setting a flight route that automatically configures a route display interface, allowing users to edit and visualize flight paths with zooming, editing, and no-fly zone detection, enabling intuitive route configuration and automation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual control is used to control the aerial vehicle, then the user can control the aerial vehicle to fly in a certain region, but the user needs to pay attention to the status of the aerial vehicle at any moment which is time and effort consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The aerial vehicle performs self-service through automatic flight control based on pre-set waypoints and coordinates. The vehicle autonomously navigates to specified locations and executes flight tasks without requiring continuous user intervention, thereby resolving the contradiction between ease of operation and time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring flight routes, waypoints, and control parameters before the aerial vehicle takes off. Users set up the flight plan in advance, and the vehicle automatically executes the predetermined route, eliminating the need for real-time manual control and reducing user time investment.
2Extent of automation
If automatic control is used with input GPS coordinates, then the aerial vehicle can automatically pass by locations, but inputted data could not be fed back to the user intuitively and the user's time may be wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements comprehensive feedback mechanisms that provide real-time information about the aerial vehicle's position, flight status, and task completion to the user. The control terminal displays the current location relative to waypoints, confirms accurate arrival at each point, and notifies users of any deviations or issues, ensuring transparent and intuitive information flow throughout the automatic flight process.
3Productivity
If automatic control is used without intuitive feedback, then the aerial vehicle can fly automatically, but the user may not know whether the flight task is accurate or reasonable
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides precise feedback on flight task accuracy through real-time position monitoring and comparison with predetermined waypoints. The control terminal displays whether the aerial vehicle has accurately reached each waypoint and provides information about flight path deviations, enabling users to verify task accuracy without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual verification of flight accuracy with automated positioning systems and electronic feedback mechanisms. GPS/åæ navigation, inertial measurement units, and electronic displays substitute for human visual monitoring and manual measurement, providing precise and objective feedback on flight task accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and a device for setting a flight route are provided. The method comprises acquiring route data of an aerial vehicle, determining waypoint coordinates in the route data, configuring a route display interface according to maximum distances between the determined waypoint coordinates, displaying a route of the aerial vehicle in the configured route display interface according to waypoint coordinates in the route data, and resetting the route displayed in the route display interface according to edit information corresponding to a received edit operation to obtain updated route data of the aerial vehicle.
