Abstract

A system includes a first terminal configured to transmit control data to a controlled terminal via a first communication link for controlling operation of the controlled terminal, and a second terminal configured to transmit control data to the controlled terminal via a second communication link for controlling operation of the controlled terminal. The second terminal is further configured to, in response to the first communication link being under interference, receive the control data from the first terminal via a third communication link and transmit the control data received from the first terminal to the controlled terminal via the second communication link.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a first terminal configured to transmit control data to a controlled terminal via a first communication link for controlling operation of the controlled terminal; and
a second terminal configured to:
transmit control data to the controlled terminal via a second communication link for controlling operation of the controlled terminal; and
in response to the first communication link being under interference, receive the control data from the first terminal via a third communication link and transmit the control data received from the first terminal to the controlled terminal via the second communication link.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second terminal is further configured to modify the control data received from the first terminal, and send the modified control data to the controlled terminal via the second communication link.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second terminal is further configured to receive feedback data sent by the controlled terminal.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the feedback data includes data generated in response to at least one of the control data transmitted by the first terminal or the control data transmitted by the second terminal.

5. The system of claim 3 , wherein the feedback data includes at least one of status data of the controlled terminal or environmental data.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the status data includes at least one of a moving direction, an attitude, or a speed of the controlled terminal.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the environment data includes an image of an environment.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controlled terminal includes an aircraft or a motor vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the first communication link and the second communication link includes a wireless communication link; and
the third communication link includes a wireless communication link or a wired communication link.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein:
the first communication link and the second communication link use a same wireless frequency band; and
the third communication link uses a wireless frequency band different from the wireless frequency band for the first communication link and the second communication link.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal includes a remote controller.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second terminal includes a monitor or a remote controller.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal is further configured to transmit the control data to the second terminal via the third communication link in response to an uplink of the first communication link being under interference.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal includes a communication module configured to communicate with a communication module of the controlled terminal via the first communication link.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the communication module of the first terminal includes a one-way communication module.

16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second terminal includes a communication module configured to communication with a communication module of the controlled terminal via the second communication link.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the communication module of the second terminal includes a two-way communication module.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal is configured to communicate with the controlled terminal via the first communication link using a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) scheme or a time division multiplexing (TDM) scheme.

19. A controlling terminal comprising:
a first communication module configured to transmit control data to a controlled terminal via a controlled-controlling link for controlling operation of the controlled terminal; and
a second communication module configured to, in response to the controlled-controlling link being under interference, transmit the control data to a monitoring terminal via a controlling-monitoring link for the monitoring terminal to forward the control data to the controlled terminal via a controlled-monitoring link.

20. The controlling terminal of claim 19 , wherein the second communication module includes a trainer port.
