1. A method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using an electronic device, comprising:
- determining a designated relay station of the UAV, the designated relay station being selected in a preset flight path of the UAV using the electronic device;
creating a new flight path for the UAV according to the designated relay station;
determining if the UAV can arrive at the designated relay station;
directing the UAV to fly to the designated relay station upon the condition that the UAV can arrive at the designated relay station; and
directing the UAV to fly to a subsequent relay station along the new flight path upon the condition that the UAV has not arrived at an endpoint of the new flight path.

Abstract
A method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using an electronic device determines a designated relay station of the UAV using the electronic device, and creates a new flight path for the UAV according to the designated relay station. The method further directs the UAV to fly to the designated relay station upon the condition that the UAV can arrive at the designated relay station, and directs the UAV to fly to a subsequent relay station along the new flight path upon the condition that the UAV has not arrived at an endpoint of the new flight path.
