Patents by Inventor Xiaogang LEI

Xiaogang LEI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11919637
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and specifically discloses an automatic return method, device and UAV. By means of the foregoing technical solutions, the embodiments of the present invention can estimate a minimum power consumption required for the UAV to return from the current position to the return point in a more accurate way, so as to avoid forced landing of the UAV due to an excessively low battery level during a flight or a return.

  • Patent number: 11924538
    Abstract: The embodiment is a target tracking method. The method is applicable to a UAV including a visible light camera and an infrared camera, and includes: controlling the visible light camera to perform visual tracking on a target object, and recording first tracking information of the target object in real time; controlling the infrared camera to perform infrared tracking on the target object, and recording second tracking information of the target object in real time; controlling, in a case of determining that the target object is lost in the visible light camera, the visible light camera to re-lock the target object according to the second tracking information and continue to perform visual tracking; or controlling, in a case of determining that the target object is lost in the infrared camera, the infrared camera to re-lock the target object according to the first tracking information and continue to perform infrared tracking.

  • Patent number: 11487302
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control method and apparatus, a remote control device, and a UAV system. The UAV control method is applied to a remote control device, the method including: obtaining voice information; determining target flight information of a UAV according to the voice information; obtaining a current flight parameter of the UAV, and generating a control instruction according to the current flight parameter and the target flight information; and sending the control instruction to the UAV, so that the UAV executes a corresponding flight mission according to the control instruction. Through the foregoing manner, according to the embodiments of the present invention, convenience and flexibility of operating a UAV can be improved by simplifying a control operation for the UAV, thereby improving user experience.
