REMOTE CONTROL METHOD AND TERMINAL

摘要

The present application discloses a remote control method and apparatus for controlling the state of a movable object and/or a load carried thereon. The remote control method comprising: receiving, via an apparatus, a state signal that corresponds to a user's position; remote-controlling the state of the a load being carried on a movable object based on the state signal; wherein the state of the load is the result of combining the movement of the load relative to the movable object and the movement of the object relative to its environment. For example, the control of the state can be achieved through the state of the apparatus itself, a user's state captured by an apparatus, a graphical interface on a screen of an apparatus, or a voice command.

主权项

1. A method of controlling positioning of a payload, the payload being supported by a carrier on a vehicle or living subject, the payload being movable relative to the vehicle or living subject via the carrier about one or more orthogonal axes of rotation, the carrier comprising one or more frame components and one or more actuators, the one or more frame components being connected to one another to form a multi-axis gimbal, said method comprising:
receiving, at a receiver positioned on the carrier or the vehicle, a signal from a terminal that is remote to (i) the vehicle or living subject, (ii) the carrier, and (iii) the payload, wherein the signal from the terminal is generated based on a user input to the terminal indicative of a mode selection from a plurality of modes having a different number of controllable axes of rotation of the carrier, said plurality of modes including a one-axis control mode, and a multi-axis control mode; calculating, with the signal from the terminal and with aid of a processor, an angle or speed by which the payload is to be rotated about the one or more orthogonal axes of rotation; generating a command signal to move the payload, based on the calculation; and moving the payload about the one or more orthogonal axes of rotation via movement of the one or more frame components driven by the one or more actuators of the carrier in response to the command signal.
