S1, receiving a data request from the external device 200 through a data interface, where the data request includes a data label;

S2, recording flight data, the flight data including at least one type of data;

S3, correlating data tags and flight data according to the data request.

The drone 100 may receive a data request from the external device 200 during the initialization phase; it may also be that the drone 100 receives a data request from the external device 200 during the flight. The data tag in the data request includes an icon or a character capable of identifying a data request event. For example, if the data request event is sent in a rainy day, the data tag is an icon with a rainy day pattern or a character capable of representing a rainy day; the data request event If it occurs on a sunny day, the data label is an icon with a sunny pattern or a character that can indicate a sunny day; if the data request event is issued in the mountains, The data tag is an icon with a mountain pattern or a character that can represent a mountain. The form of the character can be various, for example, it can be an Arabic numeral number, a Roman numeral number, a letter number, a Chinese character, an English word, and the like, and the data label of the embodiment is a character having a sequential meaning, if it is in a sunny day. Requests for data are indicated by the Arabic numerals "1", "2", "3", "4", etc., if the data request is sent in rainy days, the Roman numerals "I", "II", "III", "IV" and the like indicate that if a request for data is issued in cloudy weather, the letters "A", "B", "C", "D", etc. are used.

The at least one type of data may be of one or more of the position, altitude, speed, drone attitude, and pan/tilt attitude of the drone 100. The drone 100 is capable of enabling and/or disabling the data interface to allow and/or inhibit the external device 200 from accessing at least one of the flight data of the drone 100.

Step S2 may be that the drone 100 records flight data when a flight event occurs, such as recording flight data when the aircraft takes off, land, turns, accelerates, or decelerates. Alternatively, the data request includes a data recording frequency, and the step S2 may be to record the flight data according to the data recording frequency, the recording frequency may be one flight data recorded in one hour, one flight data recorded in one hour, or one flight data recorded in one day, etc. The recording frequency may be set when the external device 200 is shipped from the factory, or the user may input the external device 200 according to his own needs.

Referring to FIG. 3, a drone 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a communication unit 111, a memory 112, and a processor 113, which can be used to implement S1, S2, and S3, respectively. That is, the communication unit 111 is configured to receive a data request from the external device 200 through a data interface, the data request including a data tag. The memory 112 is for recording flight data, and the flight data includes at least one type of data. The processor 113 is configured to associate the data tag and the flight data according to the data request. Correspondingly, the memory 112 records flight data when a flight event occurs in the drone 100; or, the data request includes a data recording frequency, and the memory 112 records flight data based on the data recording frequency.

For example, referring to FIG. 4, the memory 112 in the drone 100 records flight data, including altitude, speed, and the like, which are stored in the memory 112 in an unordered manner (as shown in the left image). ). The drone 100 receives a data request including a data tag from the external device 200 through the data interface. The processor 113 associates the data tag and the flight data according to the data request. As shown on the right side of FIG. 4, the data tag is associated with the flight data of the same group, and the flight data of each group is the flight data at the same time, for example: The flight data of a group indicates that the speed of the drone 100 is 10 m/s when the height of the drone 100 is 500 m at a certain time; the flight data of the second group indicates that the drone 100 at another time When the height is 600 m, the speed of the drone 100 is 15 m/s, and so on. After the processor 113 performs the association, the data tag associated with the first set of flight data (height 500 meters, speed 10 m/s, etc.) is "1", and the second set of flight data (height is 600 meters, The speed is 15m/s, etc.) The associated data label is "2", and the data label associated with the third set of flight data (height 800 meters, speed 13m/s, etc.) is "3". With the fourth set of flight data (height is 1000 meters, the speed is 14m/s, etc.) The associated data tag is "4". At this time, all types of flight data recorded by the memory 112 of the drone 100 are associated, for example, if the memory 112 of the drone 100 records five types of position, altitude, speed, drone attitude, and pan/tilt attitude. For the flight data, each group of associated flight data includes five types: position, altitude, speed, drone attitude, and pan/tilt attitude; if the memory 112 of the drone 100 records position, altitude, speed, and three types For the flight data of the type, each group of associated flight data includes three types: position, altitude, and speed; if the memory 112 of the drone 100 only records the altitude type of flight data, each group of associated flights The data only includes the height type. In this embodiment, there is only one external device 200, so each set of flight data is associated with one data tag, such as an Arabic numeral number "1", "2", "3", "4", etc., if the number of external devices 200 is multiple In the case of each group of flight data, a plurality of data tags may be associated, and the form of the data tags may be as described above, and will not be described herein.

The control method of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned aerial vehicle 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can correlate the flight data related to each other by ordering the data tags and the flight data according to the data request after receiving the data request including the data tag, thereby realizing the ordering It is beneficial for R&D personnel to combine the collected data with the orderly flight data for subsequent analysis.

Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the data request includes a data identifier, and the step of associating the data label and the flight data according to the data request includes:

S301. Associate the data label and the flight data corresponding to the data identifier according to the data request.

Correspondingly, in conjunction with FIG. 3, the processor 113 is further configured to associate a data tag and flight data corresponding to the data identifier according to the data request.

The data identifier is a character (such as a character), a graphic, or the like that can indicate the type of the flight data. For example, the data identifier is a character that can indicate a position, a height, a speed, a drone posture, a gimbal posture, and the like. When the request data includes a data identifier, the processor 113 associates the data tag and the flight data corresponding to the data identifier according to the data request, instead of associating the data tag with all types of flight data. For example, referring to FIG. 6, if the memory 112 of the drone 100 records five types of flight data of position, altitude, speed, drone attitude, and pan/tilt attitude, and the data identifier includes only height and speed, then Each group of associated flight data includes only two types of altitude and speed. Specifically, the data tag associated with the flight data at a height and speed of the first group (height 500 meters, speed 10 m/s) is "1", and the flight data of the second group at height and speed (The height is 600 meters, the speed is 15m / s) The associated data label is "2", associated with the third group of flight data at altitude and speed (height 800 meters, speed 13m / s) The data label is "3", and the data label associated with the fourth group of flight data at height and speed (height 1000 meters, speed 14 m/s) is "4".

Since the drone 100 may receive a data request from the external device 200 during the initialization phase; it may also be that the drone 100 receives a data request from the external device 200 during the flight. Correspondingly, the data identifier can be unmanned The machine 100 is received from the external device 200 during the initialization phase; it may also be that the drone 100 receives a data request from the external device 200 during the flight. When the data identification is received by the drone 100 from the external device 200 in the initialization phase, the flight data to be recorded is determined before the drone 100 carries the external device 200 to perform the task, and is not required to be transmitted by the external device 200 during the flight. Then define which types of data need to be associated, reduce the data exchange, save the communication link transmission space, and use the saved space to transmit other data. When the data identifier is received by the drone 100 from the external device 200 during the flight, the drone 100 can change the required data type at any time during the execution of the task by the external device 200, and is flexible.

The control method of the UAV and the UAV 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention make the flight data related to each other by receiving the data tag and the flight data corresponding to the data identifier according to the data request after receiving the data request including the data tag and the data identifier. Being able to correlate and achieve ordering is beneficial for R&D personnel to combine collected data with ordered flight data for subsequent analysis. Moreover, the flight data corresponding to the data identifier is associated in a targeted manner, and all types of flight data are not associated with each other, and the amount of association is reduced, which also saves time for the processor 113 to perform data processing, speeds up the association efficiency, and reduces energy. Consumption.

The second data set is acquired by the external device 200, and the second data set includes the data tag and the collected data of the external device 200.

For example, when monitoring urban air quality, the external device 200 detects some collected data, such as air humidity, temperature, PM2.5 value, and the like. The collected data of the external device 200 itself also carries a data label, as shown in FIG. 11, and the first set of collected data (the meaning of the group here is the same as the meaning of the group in the previous "flight data", the temperature in the air is 15 degrees. The humidity is 70%. The corresponding data label is "1". The data label corresponding to the second group of collected data (the temperature in the air is 18 degrees and the humidity is 65%) is "2", and the data is collected with the third group. (The temperature in the air is 20 degrees, the humidity is 60%.) The corresponding data label is "3".

Each external device 200 sends a data label, and the data label corresponds to the identity information. . For example, the identity information sends the first set of data tags for the external device 200 of the identity 1, the external device 200 whose identity information is the identity 2 sends the second set of data tags, and the external device 200 whose identity information is the identity 3 sends the third set of data tags. The form of each set of data labels may be the same or different. The present embodiment is described by taking the same data label of each group as an example. When the first data set and the second data set are matched, the identity information of the external device 200 is first identified, and if the identity is 1, the flight data corresponding to the first group of data tags and the data tag in the external device 200 of the identity 1 are used. The corresponding collected data matches, that is, the first set of flight data (the height is 500 meters, the speed is 10 m/s) and the identity information is the identity 1 of the first group of data tags in the drone 100. The first set of collected data of the device 200 with the data tag of "1" (the temperature in the air is 10 degrees, the humidity is 75%) matches, and the second set of data tags in the drone 100 is the second of the "2".

If the identity is 2, the flight data corresponding to the second set of data tags is matched with the collected data corresponding to the data tag in the external device 200 of the identity 2, that is, the second set of data tags in the drone 100 is The second set of flight data of "1" (height is 600 meters, speed is 15m/s) and the first set of data collected by the external device 200 whose identity information is identity 2 is "1" (the temperature in the air is 15 degrees, humidity is 70%) matching, the third group of flight data (the height is 800 meters, the speed is 13m/s) and the identity information is the identity 1 in the second group of data tags in the drone 100. The data of the external device 200 is matched with the second set of data of "2" (the temperature in the air is 18 degrees, the humidity is 65%), and so on.

If the identity is 3, the flight data corresponding to the third set of data tags is matched with the collected data corresponding to the data tag in the external device 200 of the identity 3, that is, the third set of data tags in the drone 100 is The third set of flight data of "1" (height is 800 meters, speed is 13m/s) and the first set of data collected by the external device 200 whose identity information is identity 3 is "1" (the temperature in the air is 17 degrees, humidity is 65%) matching, the fourth group of flight data (the height is 1000 meters, the speed is 14m/s) and the identity information is the identity 3 in the third group of data tags in the drone 100.
