  • Patent number: 11978332
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for voice prompting, a mobile control terminal and a system for voice prompting. The method includes: receiving, by the mobile control terminal, a warning instruction transmitted by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); generating corresponding text information according to the warning instruction; converting the text information to an audio file; and playing the audio file. The mobile control terminal of the present invention provides various warning information to a user by playing an audio file, which is not a preset audio file directly stored in the mobile control terminal, but an audio file converted from text information generated by the mobile control terminal according to a warning instruction transmitted by the UAV. Therefore, there is no need to store a preset audio file in the mobile control terminal, which reduces a memory space occupied in the mobile control terminal and improves performance of the mobile control terminal.
