UAV Flight Tag System for Cross-Drone Data Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems lack the ability to share and process flight data among multiple UAVs, preventing interactions such as competition, learning, and data collection due to a lack of interaction and data sharing mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows UAVs to obtain a 'flight tag' by sending their takeoff geographic location to a server, which determines and returns a tag indicating whether another UAV has taken off from the same location, enabling the establishment of a common database for interaction and data sharing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If flight data is stored only in the unmanned aerial vehicle itself, then the UAV can access its own flight data, but flight records of other UAVs cannot be learned and flight data cannot be shared
Solution Approach 1:
A server is introduced as an intermediary to store flight data received from multiple UAVs and provide flight tags to querying UAVs. The server acts as a mediator that enables data sharing without requiring direct peer-to-peer communication between UAVs, thus improving flight data sharing capability while keeping the UAV system relatively simple.
Solution Approach 2:
The server provides multiple functions: storing flight data from various UAVs, determining flight tags based on geographic location and time criteria, and distributing this information back to UAVs. This multi-functional approach consolidates data management operations into a single universal system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If no interaction mechanism exists between UAVs, then each UAV operates independently, but competition, learning, and emulation between UAVs cannot be performed
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by having the server query flight tags based on a UAV's current geographic location and time, then return this information to the UAV. This feedback mechanism enables UAVs to learn about other UAVs' flight histories, facilitating competition, learning, and emulation while maintaining independent operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The server preliminarily stores and organizes flight data from multiple UAVs before queries are made. By pre-processing and storing flight records with their associated geographic locations and timestamps, the system enables rapid flight tag determination when UAVs need to query about specific locations, thus supporting multiple interaction scenarios without requiring real-time data processing.
3Loss of information
If flight data of multiple UAVs is not processed, then each UAV maintains its own data, but collective analysis and comparison across UAVs is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The server merges flight data from multiple UAVs into a unified database, allowing the system to process and analyze collective flight information. This consolidation enables cross-UAV comparison and analysis while the server handles the processing efficiency, freeing individual UAVs from the burden of managing and processing all flight data.
Data Source
AI summary
This application discloses a flight tag obtaining method, terminal, and server. A takeoff geographic location of a first unmanned aerial vehicle can be obtained when the first unmanned aerial vehicle takes off. The takeoff geographic location of the first unmanned aerial vehicle can then be sent to a server. A flight tag returned by the server can be obtained. The flight tag can indicate whether another aerial vehicle took off from the takeoff geographic location of the first unmanned aerial vehicle before the first unmanned aerial vehicle.
