Abstract

An unmanned aerial vehicle control method includes: sending a random access request to a base station; sending connection success information to a remote control device according to identification information of the remote control device, after a communication connection with the base station is established; receiving a control signal sent by the remote control device through the base station; and performing an operation according to the control signal.

Claims (47)

1. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method, comprising:

sending a random access request to a base station;

sending connection success information to a remote control device according to identification information of the remote control device, after a communication connection with the base station is established;

receiving a control signal sent by the remote control device through the base station; and

performing an operation according to the control signal,

wherein sending the connection success information to the remote control device according to the identification information of the remote control device comprises:

sending the identification information of the remote control device to the base station;

when the remote control device has established a communication connection with the base station, sending the connection success information to the remote control device through the base station; and

when the remote control device has not established a communication connection with the base station, sending the connection success information to the remote control device by a communication manner different from through the base station.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

sending identification information of the base station to the remote control device before receiving the control signal sent by the remote control device through the base station.

3. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method, comprising:

receiving connection success information sent by a UAV indicating that the UAV has established a communication connection with a base station; and

sending a control signal to the UAV according to identification information of the UAV to control the UAV to perform an operation,

wherein receiving the connection success information sent by the UAV comprises:

when a remote control device has established a communication connection with the base station, receiving the connection success information through the base station; and

when the remote control device has not established a communication connection with the base station, receiving the connection success information by a communication manner different from through the base station.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving identification information of the base station sent by the UAV before the control signal is sent to the UAV;

determining whether the remote control device is in a cellular network formed by the base station corresponding to the identification information; and

sending a connection establishment request to the base station, when the remote control device is in the cellular network.

5. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to:

send a random access request to a base station;

after a communication connection with the base station is established, send connection success information to a remote control device according to identification information of the remote control device;

receive a control signal sent by the remote control device through the base station; and

perform an operation according to the control signal,

wherein in sending the connection success information to the remote control device according to the identification information of the remote control device, the processor is further configured to:

send the identification information of the remote control device to the base station;

when the remote control device has established a communication connection with the base station, send the connection success information to the remote control device through the base station; and

when the remote control device has not established a communication connection with the base station, send the connection success information to the remote control device by a communication manner different from through the base station.

6. The UAV according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

send identification information of the base station to the remote control device before the control signal sent by the remote control device through the base station is received.

7. A remote control device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to perform the method according to claim 3 .

8. The remote control device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, when a] communication connection has been established with the base station, receive the connection success information through the base station.

9. The remote control device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to, when a communication connection has not been established with the base station, receive the connection success information by a communication manner different from through the base station.

10. The remote control device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive identification information of the base station sent by the UAV before the control signal is sent to the UAV;

determine whether the remote control device is in a cellular network formed by the base station corresponding to the identification information; and

when the remote control device is in the cellular network, send a connection establishment request to the base station.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by a processor of a device, causes the device to perform the method according to claim 1 .

12. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed by a processor of a device, causes the device to perform the method according to claim 3 .
