ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a processing unit; and
a storage device that stores a plurality of instructions, when executed by the processing unit, causes the processing unit to;
receive digital images of a flight area of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) captured by an image capturing device;
determine a flight position of the UAV in the flight area based on the digital images;
control the UAV to move from the flight position to a predetermined position;
receive a vehicle direction of the UAV from an electronic compass unit of the UAV;
adjust the vehicle direction of the UAV based on a predetermined direction; and
control the UAV to perform a predetermined operation when the UAV reaches the predetermined position and the vehicle direction is the same as the predetermined direction.

Abstract
An electronic device including a processing unit and a storage device receives digital images of a flight area of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) captured by an image capturing device. Then, the processing unit determines a flight position of the UAV in the flight area based on the digital images, and controls the UAV to move from the flight position to a predetermined position. The processing unit receives a vehicle direction of the UAV from an electronic compass unit of the UAV, and adjusts the vehicle direction of the UAV based on a predetermined direction. The processing unit controls the UAV to perform a predetermined operation when the UAV reaches the predetermined position and the vehicle direction is the same as the predetermined direction.

13. A method for controlling a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a second UAV, comprising:
-
receiving digital images of a flight area of the first UAV and the second UAV captured by an image capturing device; determining a first flight position of the first UAV and a second flight position of the second UAV in the flight area based on the digital images; comparing the first flight position with a first predetermined position to set a first flight path; comparing the second flight position with a second predetermined position to set a second flight path; determining whether the first flight path and the second flight path have an intersection point; determining whether a first distance between the intersection point and the first flight position and a second distance between the intersection point and the second flight position are less than a predetermined distance when the first flight path and the second flight path have an intersection point; and controlling one of the first UAV and the second UAV to hover when both of the first distance and the second distance are less than the predetermined distance.
