RFID Tag UAV Identification via Mobile Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Ordinary persons face difficulties in identifying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) due to lack of visible markings, especially at a distance or when UAVs are miniaturized, making it hard to determine ownership or report abnormal flight situations to the operator.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a mobile terminal, an unmanned moving object with an RF ID tag, and a management server with a database, enabling communication to acquire and display identification information, possessor details, and report abnormal flight situations through a communication network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If UAVs are miniaturized to reduce size and weight, then the UAV becomes more portable and versatile, but the markings on the surface become smaller and harder to see
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an RF ID tag as an intermediary carrier of identification information. Instead of relying on visual markings on the UAV surface, the system uses radio frequency tags that can be read by mobile terminals, allowing identification without direct visual contact or close proximity to the UAV.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/visual identification system (markings on surface) with an electromagnetic field-based system (RF ID tagging). This substitution allows identification to occur without optical detection, eliminating the visibility problem associated with miniaturized markings.
2Speed
If UAVs operate at long distances from the operator, then the operational range and flexibility increase, but the ability to visually identify and report abnormalities decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes a feedback loop where mobile terminals can query the management server using identification information from RF ID tags, and receive real-time or historical information about the UAV's operation, owner, and status. This allows persons who discover UAVs at any distance to obtain relevant information and report abnormalities to the appropriate operator.
Solution Approach 2:
The management server acts as an intermediary between the discovery of a UAV and the operator. The server stores and manages identification information, allowing anyone with a mobile terminal to query and receive information about the UAV without needing direct contact with the operator or visual inspection of the UAV.
3Device complexity
If traditional visual identification methods are used, then no additional equipment is needed, but identification becomes impossible when UAVs are at distance or flying at speed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the mobile terminal universal by enabling it to perform multiple functions: capturing images of the UAV, reading RF ID tags, querying the management server, displaying information, and reporting abnormalities. This multi-functional approach consolidates identification capabilities into a device that persons already carry, eliminating the need for specialized identification equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces RF ID tags and a management server as intermediaries to enable identification. The RF ID tag provides a reliable identification marker that can be read electronically, and the management server provides a centralized repository for identification information, making the identification process reliable and accessible.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables ordinary persons to easily identify UAVs, including their ownership and operational information, and report abnormalities to the operators, facilitating retrieval and maintenance.
Implementation Method 1
the mobile terminal includes an RF reader capable of wirelessly communicating with the RF ID tag; the identification information acquiring step is the step in which the mobile terminal acquires the ID information as identification information through wireless communication between the RF reader and the RF ID tag
