  • Patent number: 11513511
    Abstract: A control terminal for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a processor and a storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to render an image on a user interface of the control terminal. The image is captured by an imaging device coupled to the UAV and is associated with a view of the imaging device. The instructions further cause the processor to detect, via the user interface, a gesture-based input including one or more reference points in the image and indicating a view change of the imaging device, determine a type of the gesture-based input by analyzing the one or more reference points, and generate control data based on the type of the gesture-based input to control at least one of the UAV or the imaging device for the view change of the imaging device.

  • Patent number: 11511857
    Abstract: An aerial vehicle control method includes detecting a flight control instruction during returning of an aerial vehicle to a return point along a return trajectory according to an auto return instruction. The flight control instruction determines a predetermined trajectory different from the return trajectory. The method further includes generating a superimposed instruction by superimposing return point position information indicating the return point and the flight control instruction. The superimposed instruction determines a flight trajectory that is an integration of the return trajectory and the predetermined trajectory and that is different from the return trajectory and the predetermined trajectory. The method also includes controlling the aerial vehicle to fly along the flight trajectory according to the superimposed instruction.

  • Patent number: 11491979
    Abstract: Mappings of keys to actions can automate various vehicle systems. Some automations can provide lane departure warnings. Keys for lane departure mappings can specify vibration patterns expected when a vehicle drives over lane delineators. These vibration-based mappings can include keys with vibration patterns, e.g., defining vibration frequencies or vibration locations. Keys for emergency light mappings can be based on conditions such as (1) the vehicle being on the road, stopped, not in traffic, and not at a stop signal; (2) components of the vehicle having failed; or (3) weather conditions.
