Abstract

A multimedia synchronization method is performed by an aircraft that is wirelessly connected to a plurality of mobile terminals. After receiving a first authorized-user identifier sent by a first mobile terminal, the aircraft receives an aircraft operation command and a photographing command sent by the first mobile terminal. The aircraft performs aircraft flight control according to the aircraft operation command and collects multimedia data in a target photographing region according to the photographing command. Finally, the aircraft stores the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier. The aircraft synchronizes the multimedia data to the first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A multimedia synchronization method performed by an aircraft having one or more processors and memory for storing a plurality of instructions to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein the aircraft is wirelessly connected to a plurality of mobile terminals, the method comprising:
receiving a first authorized-user identifier sent by a first mobile terminal; receiving an aircraft operation command and a photographing command sent by the first mobile terminal; performing aircraft flight control according to the aircraft operation command, and collecting multimedia data in a target photographing region according to the photographing command; storing the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier; and synchronizing the multimedia data to the first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of storing the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier comprises:
establishing a corresponding unique index for each piece of multimedia data obtained through photographing; and establishing a media database for the first authorized-user identifier, wherein the media database stores the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier and the corresponding index.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of synchronizing the multimedia data to the first mobile terminal comprises:
generating a thumbnail corresponding to the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier; sending the thumbnail in real time to the first mobile terminal that currently operates an aircraft; receiving a real-time viewing command of the first mobile terminal for the thumbnail; and searching for the multimedia data corresponding to the thumbnail according to the real-time viewing command, and synchronizing the multimedia data to the first mobile terminal.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of synchronizing the multimedia data to a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data comprises:
receiving a multimedia viewing command sent by the second mobile terminal, wherein the multimedia viewing command carries the first authorized-user identifier; and after the first authorized-user identifier is authenticated, searching for multimedia data by using the first authorized-user identifier as an index identifier, and synchronizing the multimedia data to the second mobile terminal.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of synchronizing the multimedia data to a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data comprises:
receiving a multimedia viewing command sent by the second mobile terminal; and acquiring the first authorized-user identifier submitted by the first mobile terminal that currently operates an aircraft, searching for multimedia data by using the first authorized-user identifier as an index identifier, and synchronizing the multimedia data to the second mobile terminal.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of synchronizing the multimedia data to a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data comprises:
receiving a multimedia viewing command sent by the second mobile terminal, wherein the multimedia viewing command carries a second authorized-user identifier; and monitoring whether friend link data exists between the first authorized-user identifier submitted by the first mobile terminal that currently operates an aircraft and the second authorized-user identifier, and if friend link data exists, searching for multimedia data by using the first authorized-user identifier as an index identifier, and synchronizing the multimedia data to the second mobile terminal.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of synchronizing the multimedia data to a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data comprises:
receiving a second authorized-user identifier sent by the second mobile terminal; performing authentication on the second authorized-user identifier, searching a server for at least one first authorized-user identifier that is stored in an aircraft and has friend link data with the second authorized-user identifier, sending the found first authorized-user identifier to the second mobile terminal, and displaying a multimedia folder of the first authorized-user identifier on an application interface of the second mobile terminal; and receiving a viewing command sent by the second mobile terminal for the multimedia folder, writing the viewing command to the first authorized-user identifier corresponding to the multimedia folder, searching for multimedia data by using the first authorized-user identifier as an index identifier, and synchronizing the multimedia data to the second mobile terminal.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a multimedia synchronization command sent by the first mobile terminal or the second mobile terminal; comparing multimedia data in the first mobile terminal or the second mobile terminal with multimedia data locally stored in an aircraft; and in accordance with a determination that the multimedia data in the first mobile terminal or the second mobile terminal is inconsistent with the multimedia data locally stored in the aircraft, synchronizing, to the first mobile terminal or the second mobile terminal, the multimedia data locally stored in the aircraft.

9 . An aircraft comprising:
one or more processors; memory; and a plurality of computer readable instructions stored in the memory, wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the following operations:
receiving a first authorized-user identifier sent by a first mobile terminal;
receiving an aircraft operation command and a photographing command sent by the first mobile terminal;
performing aircraft flight control according to the aircraft operation command, and collecting multimedia data in a target photographing region according to the photographing command;
storing the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier; and
synchronizing the multimedia data to the first mobile terminal and a second mobile terminal that accesses the multimedia data.

10 . The aircraft according to claim 9 , wherein the operation of storing the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier comprises:
establishing a corresponding unique index for each piece of multimedia data obtained through photographing; and establishing a media database for the first authorized-user identifier, wherein the media database stores the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier and the corresponding index.

11 . The aircraft according to claim 9 , wherein the operation of synchronizing the multimedia data to the first mobile terminal comprises:
generating a thumbnail corresponding to the multimedia data for which the first authorized-user identifier is used as an index identifier; sending the thumbnail in real time to the first mobile terminal that currently operates an aircraft; receiving a real-time viewing command of the first mobile terminal for the thumbnail; and searching for the multimedia data corresponding to the thumbnail according to the real-time viewing command, and synchronizing the multimedia
