技术领域technical field

本公开涉及通过无人驾驶飞行工具来促进视频会议,并且更具体地说,通过自持的无人驾驶飞行工具来促进广角视野视频会议。The present disclosure relates to facilitating videoconferencing by unmanned aerial vehicles, and more particularly, facilitating wide-angle field-of-view videoconferencing by self-sustaining unmanned aerial vehicles.

背景技术Background technique

通常被称为无人机并且还有若干其它名称的无人驾驶飞行工具(UAV) 是人类飞行员不在机上的飞行器。UAV的飞行可通过机载计算机来自主地控制或通过地面上或另一交通工具上的驾驶员的遥控来控制。UAV已主要用在军事应用和特殊作业应用中,但也越来越多地使用在民用应用(警务、监控和消防)以及非军事安全工作(例如,电力或管线的检查)中。UAV善于收集大量视觉信息,并且将其显示给人类操作员。然而,解读UAV所收集的信息可能花费大量时间和人力。在许多状况下,UAV所收集的信息被人类操作员和分析员误读,这些操作员和分析员解读信息的时间有限。Commonly referred to as drones and by several other names, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aerial vehicles in which a human pilot is not on board. Flight of the UAV may be controlled autonomously by an onboard computer or by remote control from a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. UAVs have been used primarily in military and special-job applications, but are also increasingly used in civilian applications (police, surveillance, and firefighting) and non-military security work (eg, inspection of power or pipelines). UAVs are good at collecting large amounts of visual information and displaying it to human operators. However, interpreting the information collected by the UAV can take a lot of time and manpower. In many cases, the information collected by UAVs is misinterpreted by human operators and analysts who have limited time to interpret the information.

视频会议通常在本领域中已为人所知。多方可在视频会议中通过视频和音频来相互通信。传统的视频会议促进技术通常需要在视频会议期间每一方所处的位置处所放置的固定相机。对于视频输出来说,在一方的位置处的屏幕上的其它方的视图通常由于其它方的位置处的相机放置和视域而受到限制。此外,在视频会议期间通常仅使用一个相机拍摄一方位置处的视图,并且因此,此方的视域可能受限于此相机的视域的大小。在所述方在视频会议期间具有分散在房间周围的发言人时,这尤其带来挑战。传统的视频会议技术通常无法一次对分散在一个位置周围的发言人进行拍摄。Video conferencing is generally known in the art. Multiple parties can communicate with each other via video and audio in a video conference. Traditional video conferencing facilitation techniques typically require fixed cameras placed where each party is located during the video conference. For video output, the other party's view of the screen at one party's location is typically limited due to camera placement and field of view at the other party's location. Furthermore, only one camera is typically used during a video conference to capture the view at a party's location, and thus, the party's field of view may be limited by the size of that camera's field of view. This poses a particular challenge when the party has speakers scattered around the room during the video conference. Traditional video conferencing technology often cannot capture speakers scattered around one location at a time.

实用新型内容Utility model content

提供用于通过UAV网络来促进广角视野视频会议的实施例。为了促进广角视野视频会议,可采用UAV(例如,无人机)在广角视野视频会议中所涉及的各方的各个位置处进行拍摄并传输这些位置的视频数据。为了拍摄视频会议的一方所处的位置的视频数据,可指示UAV网络中的一个或更多个UAV位于所述方的位置并在所述方的位置上拉近。在一些实施方案中,可指示UAV 移动得靠近所述方的位置并寻找一角度以使得可拍摄所述方的位置的清晰视图。UAV可配备一个或更多个摄影机。在一些实例中,UAV可配备360度摄影机,以使得可拍摄360度视频所覆盖的广泛区域。在一些实例中,个别 UAV可简单地携载相对于UAV以某一角度固定在UAV上或可四处旋转的相机。Embodiments are provided for facilitating wide-angle field-of-view videoconferencing over a UAV network. To facilitate wide-angle video conferencing, UAVs (eg, drones) may be employed to capture and transmit video data at various locations of the parties involved in the wide-angle video conference. To capture video data of where a party of the videoconference is located, one or more UAVs in the UAV network may be instructed to be at the party's location and zoomed in on the party's location. In some implementations, the UAV can be instructed to move closer to the party's location and seek an angle such that a clear view of the party's location can be taken. A UAV can be equipped with one or more cameras. In some examples, the UAV can be equipped with a 360-degree camera so that a wide area covered by 360-degree video can be captured. In some examples, individual UAVs may simply carry cameras that are fixed to the UAV at an angle relative to the UAV or that can rotate around.

For example, video data may first be transmitted to a controller controlling a given UAV, and from this controller, video data may be communicated to a video processing center via a wired or wireless network. As noted above, the video data transmitted to the video processing center may contain a wide angle field of view zoomed in by a given UAV at the party's location. In some embodiments, the video processing center may be configured to process wide-angle field-of-view video data received from a given UAV for presentation on a display. In some embodiments, the video conferencing center can be configured to provide the ability to host a video conference and route video data to the parties in the video conference.

为了输出视频会议中的给定方的位置处的视频流,显示器可配备网络连接。例如,显示器可通过网络连接而从视频处理中心接收视频数据。在一些实施方案中,显示器可操作性地连接到计算装置,并且计算装置可被配置成通过网络连接而从视频处理中心接收视频数据。In order to output the video stream at the location of a given party in the video conference, the display can be equipped with a network connection. For example, a display may receive video data from a video processing center through a network connection. In some embodiments, the display is operatively connected to the computing device, and the computing device can be configured to receive video data from the video processing center through the network connection.

It should be understood that although in this disclosure, structural parts and components of various examples of the present disclosure are referred to by use of directional terms (eg, "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "left", "Right", etc.), but these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and are based on the exemplary directions shown in the drawings.

UAV良好适用于有效负载由光学图像传感器(例如,具有适用于各种商业场合(例如,监控、视频会议、车辆定位和/或任何其它场合)的功能强大的轻型传感器的相机)组成的场合。根据本公开的UAV可收集UAV所覆盖的区域中的任何物体的多光谱图像。在某些实施例中,根据本公开的UAV可在高达65,000英尺上飞行并且可覆盖多达500km的范围。本公开的一个目标是使用UAV以促进牵涉到至少一个运输设备(例如,小汽车、公共汽车或火车)的视频会议。可采用一个或更多个UAV来拍摄运输设备的内部(例如,运输设备的舱)的视频图像。因为UAV可被配置成在运输设备上方以与运输设备的速度一致的速度移动,所以在运输设备移动时,简单地通过UAV可能难以拍摄运输设备的视频图像。UAVs are well suited for applications where the payload consists of an optical image sensor (eg, a camera with a powerful lightweight sensor suitable for a variety of commercial applications (eg, surveillance, video conferencing, vehicle location, and/or any other application)). A UAV according to the present disclosure can collect multispectral images of any object in the area covered by the UAV. In certain embodiments, UAVs according to the present disclosure can fly at up to 65,000 feet and can cover a range of up to 500 km. It is an object of the present disclosure to use UAVs to facilitate video conferencing involving at least one transportation device (eg, car, bus, or train). One or more UAVs may be employed to take video images of the interior of the transport (eg, the cabin of the transport). Because the UAV may be configured to move over the transport at a speed consistent with the speed of the transport, it may be difficult to capture video images of the transport simply by the UAV while the transport is moving.

使用UAV以拍摄移动的运输设备的视频图像的另一优点在于,只要配备广角视野(例如,360度)相机的UAV具有对运输设备的内部的清晰视图,所述UAV就可用于拍摄运输设备的内部的广角视野视频图像。广角视野视频数据可经由UAV网络的地面控制器从UAV传输到视频处理中心。在由视频处理中心处理后,运输设备的内部的广角视野视频图像可被传输到其它方以供呈现。以此方式,可促进广角视野视频会议。在一些实施方案中,视频会议的多方包含两个或更多个运输设备。在这些实施方案中,可促进多个运输设备之间的广角视野视频会议。Another advantage of using a UAV to capture video images of a moving transport is that the UAV can be used to capture images of the transport as long as the UAV is equipped with a wide-angle field of view (e.g., 360 degrees) camera that has a clear view of the interior of the transport. Wide-angle view video image of the interior. The wide-angle view video data can be transmitted from the UAV to the video processing center via the ground controller of the UAV network. After processing by the video processing center, the wide-angle view video images of the interior of the transportation device may be transmitted to other parties for presentation. In this way, wide-angle field of view video conferencing may be facilitated. In some embodiments, the parties of the video conference include two or more transport devices. In these embodiments, wide-angle field-of-view video conferencing between multiple transportation devices may be facilitated.

图1图示根据本公开的用于促进车辆的通信的示范性UAV网络100。如图所示,UAV网络100可包括多个UAV 102,例如,UAV 102a到102f。应理解,在某些实施例中,UAV网络100可包括数百个、数千个乃至数万个UAV 102。UAV网络100中的个别UAV 102(例如,UAV102a)可在地面上方 50,000英尺到65,000英尺的高度之间飞行。然而,这不意图是限制性的。在一些实例中,UAV网络100中的一些或全部UAV 102可在地面上方数百或数千英尺飞行。如图所示,UAV网络100中的个别UAV 102可通过UAV 102所携载或UAV 102上所安装的通信硬件而相互通信。例如,UAV 102上机载的通信硬件可包含天线、高频无线电收发器、光学收发器和/或用于长距离通信的任何其它通信组件。可在UAV网络100中的任何两个给定UAV102(例如, UAV 102c与UAV 102d)之间建立通信信道。FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary UAV network 100 for facilitating communication of vehicles according to the present disclosure. As shown, UAV network 100 may include a plurality of UAVs 102, eg, UAVs 102a through 102f. It should be understood that in some embodiments, UAV network 100 may include hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of UAVs 102 . Individual UAVs 102 (eg, UAV 102a) in UAV network 100 may fly at altitudes between 50,000 feet and 65,000 feet above the ground. However, this is not intended to be limiting. In some examples, some or all UAVs 102 in UAV network 100 may fly hundreds or thousands of feet above the ground. As shown, individual UAVs 102 in UAV network 100 may communicate with each other through communication hardware carried by or installed on UAVs 102 . For example, communication hardware onboard UAV 102 may include antennas, high-frequency radio transceivers, optical transceivers, and/or any other communication components for long-range communication. A communication channel may be established between any two given UAVs 102 (eg, UAV 102c and UAV 102d ) in UAV network 100 .

在任何两个给定UAV之间建立通信信道的一种方式是使两个给定UAV 通过两个给定UAV 102上机载的通信硬件来自主地建立通信信道。在此实例中,UAV 102a、102b和102c是相邻UAV,以使得UAV 102a、102b和102c 分别覆盖相邻区域104a、104b和104c。UAV 102a、102b和102c可被配置成一旦处于阈值距离以内,就相互通信。阈值距离可以是UAV 102a、102b和 102c上机载的收发器的最大通信范围。以此方式,UAV 102a、102b和102c可相互发送数据,而不需要接入点。One way to establish a communication channel between any two given UAVs is to have the two given UAVs establish the communication channel autonomously through communication hardware onboard the two given UAVs 102 . In this example, UAVs 102a, 102b, and 102c are adjacent UAVs such that UAVs 102a, 102b, and 102c cover adjacent areas 104a, 104b, and 104c, respectively. UAVs 102a, 102b, and 102c may be configured to communicate with each other once within a threshold distance. The threshold distance may be the maximum communication range of the transceivers onboard the UAVs 102a, 102b, and 102c. In this manner, UAVs 102a, 102b, and 102c can send data to each other without requiring an access point.

在UAV网络100中的任何两个给定UAV 102之间建立通信信道的另一方式是使两个给定UAV 102通过控制器来建立通信信道。如本文所使用,控制器可被视为被配置成在UAV网络100内控制通信的一件硬件和/或软件。控制器可由地面处理站(例如,地面控制器110a、110b或110c)提供。例如,控制器可由控制器110中所容纳的计算机服务器实施。在某些实施例中,控制器可由UAV网络100中的UAV 102提供。例如,UAV网络100中的给定 UAV102(例如,无人直升机或气球)可携载有效负载,所述有效负载包含被配置成实施控制器的一个或更多个处理器。在任何状况下,控制器可被配置成基于UAV网络100所支持的应用来确定网络要求,和/或执行任何其它操作。在实施方案中,控制信号可经由控制链路而从控制器传输到图1所示的UAV 102。Another way to establish a communication channel between any two given UAVs 102 in the UAV network 100 is to have the two given UAVs 102 establish the communication channel through a controller. As used herein, a controller may be considered a piece of hardware and/or software configured to control communications within UAV network 100 . The controller may be provided by a ground processing station (eg, ground controller 110a, 110b, or 110c). For example, the controller may be implemented by a computer server housed in the controller 110 . In some embodiments, the controller may be provided by UAVs 102 in UAV network 100 . For example, a given UAV 102 (eg, an unmanned helicopter or balloon) in UAV network 100 may carry a payload that includes one or more processors configured to implement a controller. In any case, the controller may be configured to determine network requirements based on the applications supported by UAV network 100, and/or to perform any other operations. In an embodiment, control signals may be transmitted from the controller to the UAV 102 shown in FIG. 1 via a control link.

如上所述,网络中的UAV 102的一个重要准则是高度。然而,随着 UAV 102高度增大,UAV 102所发射的信号变弱。在65,000英尺的高度飞行的UAV 102可覆盖地面上多达100公里的区域,但信号损耗可显著高于陆基网络所发生的信号损耗。无线电信号通常需要大量功率来长距离传输。另一方面,可由保持在空中的UAV 102长时间携载的有效负载是有限的。如上所述,太阳能可用于对UAV 102供能。然而,由于太阳辐照可被吸收且转化为电力的有限的速率,这限制了可由UAV 102携载的有效负载的重量。As mentioned above, an important criterion for UAVs 102 in a network is altitude. However, as UAV 102 increases in height, the signal emitted by UAV 102 becomes weaker. A UAV 102 flying at an altitude of 65,000 feet can cover an area of up to 100 kilometers on the ground, but signal loss can be significantly higher than that experienced by land-based networks. Radio signals typically require a lot of power to transmit over long distances. On the other hand, there is a limit to the payload that can be carried by a UAV 102 that remains airborne for extended periods of time. As mentioned above, solar energy may be used to power UAV 102 . However, due to the limited rate at which solar radiation can be absorbed and converted to electricity, this limits the weight of the payload that can be carried by the UAV 102 .

自由空间光学通信(FSO)是在自由空间中传输光以无线地传输数据来进行远程通信的光学通信技术。市售的FSO系统使用约850nm到1550nm的接近可见光谱的波长。在基本点对点FSO系统中,两个FSO收发器可被放置在传输路径的两侧上,所述传输路径在两个FSO收发器之间具有不受阻碍的视线。可利用各种光源来使用FSO收发器来传输数据。例如,可使用LED和激光器在FSO系统中传输数据。Free Space Optical Communication (FSO) is an optical communication technology that transmits light in free space to wirelessly transmit data for long-distance communication. Commercially available FSO systems use wavelengths near the visible spectrum of about 850 nm to 1550 nm. In a basic point-to-point FSO system, two FSO transceivers may be placed on either side of a transmission path with an unobstructed line of sight between the two FSO transceivers. Various light sources can be utilized to transmit data using FSO transceivers. For example, LEDs and lasers can be used to transmit data in FSO systems.

FSO系统中所使用的激光器提供与陆基光纤网络相当的极高的带宽和容量,但它们相比微波系统还消耗小得多的功率。FSO单元可包含在UAV 102 的有效负载中以进行通信。FSO单元可包含具有激光发射器和接收器的光学收发器,以提供全双工双向能力。FSO单元可使用高功率光源(即,激光器)以及透镜,其中所述透镜使激光束穿过大气传输到另一透镜,所述另一透镜接收激光束中所体现的信息。接收透镜可经由光纤而连接到高灵敏度接收器。根据本公开的UAV 102中所包含的FSO单元可在高达10Gbps的速度下实现光学传输。The lasers used in FSO systems provide extremely high bandwidth and capacity comparable to land-based fiber optic networks, but they also consume much less power than microwave systems. The FSO unit may be included in the payload of the UAV 102 for communication. The FSO unit may contain an optical transceiver with a laser transmitter and receiver to provide full-duplex bi-directional capability. A FSO unit may use a high power light source (ie, a laser) and a lens that transmits the laser beam through the atmosphere to another lens that receives the information embodied in the laser beam. The receiving lens can be connected to a high sensitivity receiver via an optical fiber. The FSO unit included in the UAV 102 according to the present disclosure can achieve optical transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbps.

图1中还示出车辆106a到106f。给定车辆106可配备通信硬件。给定车辆106中的通信硬件可包含上文所述的FSO单元、无线电收发器和/或任何其它类型的通信硬件。可使用车辆106中所包含的通信硬件经由UAV 102而在车辆106之间建立通信信道。控制器110可包含被配置成通过激光束来建立通信信道FSO单元的FSO单元。通过通信信道,UAV 102可被配置成将其地理位置传达到控制器110。因为地面控制器110是固定的,所以地面控制器110的地理位置可被预先配置到UAV 102中的机载计算机中。通过地面控制器 110,意图用于车辆106的信息可被转发到车辆106。地面控制器110可连接到有线或无线网络。意图用于车辆106的信息可通过有线或无线网络而从连接到有线或无线网络的另一实体传达或传达到连接到有线或无线网络的另一实体。意图用于车辆106的信息可首先通过激光束来传达到UAV102,并且UAV 102 可通过激光束204a将信息转发到车辆106。Also shown in FIG. 1 are vehicles 106a through 106f. A given vehicle 106 may be equipped with communication hardware. Communications hardware in a given vehicle 106 may include the FSO units described above, radio transceivers, and/or any other type of communications hardware. A communication channel may be established between vehicles 106 via UAV 102 using communication hardware included in vehicles 106 . The controller 110 may include an FSO unit configured to establish a communication channel FSO unit through a laser beam. UAV 102 may be configured to communicate its geographic location to controller 110 via a communication channel. Because ground controllers 110 are stationary, the geographic location of ground controllers 110 may be preconfigured into an onboard computer in UAV 102 . Information intended for the vehicle 106 may be forwarded to the vehicle 106 via the ground controller 110 . Ground controllers 110 may be connected to a wired or wireless network. Information intended for the vehicle 106 may be communicated from or to another entity connected to the wired or wireless network over the wired or wireless network. Information intended for vehicle 106 may first be communicated to UAV 102 via laser beam, and UAV 102 may forward the information to vehicle 106 via laser beam 204a.

在实施方案中,为了定位车辆106,可从UAV 102发出追踪信号以追踪车辆106。追踪信号可呈各种形式。例如,UAV 102可按照预定图案用UAV 102上机载的相机来扫描所覆盖的区域104。例如,UAV 102可按照扫描线方式从所覆盖的区域104的一个角落到所覆盖的区域104的相对角落而扫描所覆盖的区域104。作为另一实例,UAV 102可按照同心球体方式从所覆盖的区域 104内的外部球体开始,逐渐到所覆盖的区域104内的内部球体直到所覆盖的区域104的中心为止而扫描所覆盖的区域104。作为又一实例,UAV 102可沿着区域104的预定义的线(例如,进入区域104的道路的一部分以及离开区域104的道路的另一部分)而扫描所覆盖的区域。在某些实施例中,UAV 102可携载被配置成在所覆盖的区域104内以无线电信号进行广播的无线电发射器。在这些实例中,所广播的无线电信号可充当追踪信号,以使得一旦所述无线电信号被经过所覆盖的区域104的车辆106解读,UAV 102便可被配置成在所覆盖的区域104内定位车辆106的位置。In an embodiment, to locate the vehicle 106 , tracking signals may be sent from the UAV 102 to track the vehicle 106 . Tracking signals can take various forms. For example, the UAV 102 may scan the covered area 104 in a predetermined pattern with a camera onboard the UAV 102 . For example, the UAV 102 may scan the covered area 104 in a scan-line fashion from one corner of the covered area 104 to an opposite corner of the covered area 104 . As another example, the UAV 102 may scan the covered area in a concentric sphere fashion starting from an outer sphere within the covered area 104 and gradually to an inner sphere within the covered area 104 until the center of the covered area 104 104. As yet another example, the UAV 102 may scan the covered area along a predefined line of the area 104 (eg, a portion of the road entering the area 104 and another portion of the road exiting the area 104 ). In some embodiments, the UAV 102 may carry a radio transmitter configured to broadcast radio signals within the covered area 104 . In these examples, the broadcasted radio signal may serve as a tracking signal such that once the radio signal is interpreted by a vehicle 106 passing through the covered area 104, the UAV 102 may be configured to locate the vehicle within the covered area 104 106 position.

在车辆106已被UAV 102追踪之后,车辆106的身份可被捕捉。在某些实施方案中,车辆106的身份可由UAV 102所携载的相机捕捉。例如,UAV 102可被配置成一旦车辆106已被追踪,便拍摄车辆106的牌照的照片。作为另一实例,UAV 102可被配置成将询问车辆106的身份的请求发送到车辆 106,并且车辆106可响应于请求而将其身份发送到UAV 102。After the vehicle 106 has been tracked by the UAV 102, the identity of the vehicle 106 may be captured. In some embodiments, the identity of the vehicle 106 may be captured by cameras carried by the UAV 102 . For example, UAV 102 may be configured to take a picture of the license plate of vehicle 106 once vehicle 106 has been tracked. As another example, UAV 102 may be configured to send a request to vehicle 106 asking for the identity of vehicle 106, and vehicle 106 may send its identity to UAV 102 in response to the request.

图1所示的UAV 102中的任一个可被指示“监视”或“拉近”对应车辆 106。例如,UAV102a可接收关于车辆106a的位置信息以及拉近车辆106a的指令或控制信号。在此实例中,响应于接收到此位置信息和指令或控制信号, UAV 102a可被配置成基于所接收的位置信息来追踪车辆106a。这可涉及将 UAV 102a移动到车辆106a附近,以使得UAV 102a具有车辆106的清晰视图。如下文将论述,UAV 102a所接收的指令或控制信号可包含拍摄车辆106a的内部的视频图像。为了实现此举,UAV 102a可配备一个或更多个相机。在一些实施例中,UAV 102a所携载的相机可包含能够拍摄广角视域的广角视野相机。在一个实施例中,UAV102a所携载的广角视野相机是具有水平平面中的360度视域或覆盖(大致上覆盖)整个球体的视域的全向相机。Any of the UAVs 102 shown in FIG. 1 may be instructed to "watch" or "zoom in" to a corresponding vehicle 106. For example, the UAV 102a may receive information about the location of the vehicle 106a and commands or control signals to approach the vehicle 106a. In this example, in response to receiving such location information and command or control signals, UAV 102a may be configured to track vehicle 106a based on the received location information. This may involve moving the UAV 102a near the vehicle 106a so that the UAV 102a has a clear view of the vehicle 106 . As will be discussed below, the commands or control signals received by the UAV 102a may include taking video images of the interior of the vehicle 106a. To accomplish this, UAV 102a may be equipped with one or more cameras. In some embodiments, the cameras carried by the UAV 102a may include a wide-angle field of view camera capable of capturing a wide-angle field of view. In one embodiment, the wide-angle field of view camera carried by the UAV 102a is an omnidirectional camera with a field of view of 360 degrees in the horizontal plane, or a field of view that covers (substantially) an entire sphere.

在某一实施例中,UAV 102a所携载的相机可包含在UAV 102a的机身下部固定在对应位置处的多个相机。在一个实施例中,多个相机可布置在UAV 102a的机身下部上以形成环。在一种配置中,8个相机用于形成此环。根据 UAV 102a与车辆106a之间的距离、两者之间的角度和/或任何其它因素,可利用这些相机中的一个或更多个来拍摄车辆106a的内部。例如,UAV 102a可利用环中的三个相机来拍摄车辆106a的内部的视频图像。在一些实施方案中, UAV 102a所携载的个别相机可具有全景视野能力。例如,UAV 102a可携载各种类型的全景视野相机,包含短旋转式(short rotation)镜头、全旋转式(full rotation)镜头、固定镜头以及任何其它类型的全景视野相机。In a certain embodiment, the cameras carried by the UAV 102a may include a plurality of cameras fixed at corresponding positions on the lower part of the fuselage of the UAV 102a. In one embodiment, multiple cameras may be arranged on the lower fuselage of the UAV 102a to form a ring. In one configuration, 8 cameras are used to form the ring. Depending on the distance between the UAV 102a and the vehicle 106a, the angle between the two, and/or any other factors, one or more of these cameras may be utilized to photograph the interior of the vehicle 106a. For example, UAV 102a may utilize three cameras in a ring to capture video images of the interior of vehicle 106a. In some implementations, individual cameras carried by the UAV 102a may have panoramic view capabilities. For example, the UAV 102a may carry various types of panoramic view cameras, including short rotation lenses, full rotation lenses, fixed lenses, and any other type of panoramic view cameras.

在已大体上描述UAV网络100、UAV 102、车辆106和控制器110a之后,现参照图2,其中图2在概念上图示根据本公开使用UAV来促进广角视野视频会议。如图所示,可指示UAV网络100中的个别UAV 102如上所述地拍摄车辆102的内部的视频图像。在图2中,示出UAV102a根据请求可被定位成使得UAV 102a拍摄车辆106a的内部的视频图像。UAV 102a所拍摄的视频图像可包含车辆106a的内部的广角视野视频。例如,UAV 102a可被配置成如上所述使用一个或更多个360度相机而拍摄车辆106a的内部的360度视频。在实施方案中,响应于例如从控制器110a接收的拍摄车辆106a的视频图像的指令或控制信号,UAV 102a可被配置成被定位成使得UAV 102a具有对于车辆106a的清晰视线。在一些实施方案中,UAV 102a相对于车辆106a的位置可基于如UAV 102a所拍摄的车辆106a的视频图像来调整。例如,当视频图像被确定为不示出车辆106a的内部的广角视图时,可指示UAV 102a将自身重新定位,直到接收到具有可接受质量的车辆106a内部的广角视野视频图像为止。这可涉及指示UAV102a相对于车辆106a来调整UAV 102a的角度、距离、速度和/或任何其它方面。Having generally described UAV network 100, UAV 102, vehicle 106, and controller 110a, reference is now made to FIG. 2, which conceptually illustrates the use of UAVs to facilitate wide-angle view videoconferencing in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, individual UAVs 102 in the UAV network 100 may be instructed to take video images of the interior of the vehicle 102 as described above. In FIG. 2, it is shown that the UAV 102a may be positioned upon request such that the UAV 102a captures video images of the interior of the vehicle 106a. The video images captured by the UAV 102a may include a wide-angle view video of the interior of the vehicle 106a. For example, UAV 102a may be configured to capture 360-degree video of the interior of vehicle 106a using one or more 360-degree cameras as described above. In an embodiment, UAV 102a may be configured to be positioned such that UAV 102a has a clear line of sight to vehicle 106a in response to an instruction or control signal received, eg, from controller 110a to capture a video image of vehicle 106a. In some embodiments, the position of the UAV 102a relative to the vehicle 106a may be adjusted based on video images of the vehicle 106a as captured by the UAV 102a. For example, when a video image is determined not to show a wide-angle view of the interior of the vehicle 106a, the UAV 102a may be instructed to reposition itself until a wide-angle view video image of the interior of the vehicle 106a is received with acceptable quality. This may involve instructing the UAV 102a to adjust the angle, distance, speed, and/or any other aspect of the UAV 102a relative to the vehicle 106a.

For example, video data may first be transmitted to another UAV 102 in the vicinity of UAV 102a. For example, UAV 102 may have greater computing capabilities than UAV 102a, where UAV 102 may be a lightweight UAV configured to track a moving vehicle and capture video images of the interior of the moving vehicle. In this example, a UAV with greater computing power may be used as a relay station to relay video data from UAV 102a to controller 110a for further processing of the video data.

For example, controller 110a may be configured to receive instructions or control signals from video processing center 202 indicating that a video conference call with a particular vehicle (eg, vehicle 106a) is to be initiated. In this example, controller 110 a may be configured to generate instructions or control signals instructing a corresponding UAV (eg, UAV 102 a ) to locate vehicle 106 a and capture video images of vehicle 102 a to facilitate video processing center 202 processing. Requested video conference. Once a videoconferencing connection is established between UAV 102a and video processing center 202 via controller 110a, controller 110a may transmit video data received from UAV 102a to video processing center 202. In some embodiments, controller 110a may also be configured to transmit conferencing data (e.g., data loss indicators, data packets received to date, synchronization messages, and/or any other video conferencing data) to video processing center 202 to facilitate Wide-angle view video conferencing.

Hosting a wide-angle view video conference by the video processing center 202 may include receiving a request from one party to establish a wide-angle view video conference with one or more other parties. For example, video processing center 202 may be configured to receive a request from vehicle 106 a to establish a wide-angle view video conference with another vehicle 106 . The request may be received by video processing center 202 via network 204, which may include wired and/or wireless networks. For example, network 204 may include the Internet. In this example, vehicle 106a may be configured to place a video conference call to video processing center 202 via network 204 . In response to receiving this request, the video processing center 202 may be configured to initiate a wide-angle view video conference by itself generating a control instruction or a control signal. For example, the control command or control signal generated by the video processing center 202 may include instructing the controller 110 a corresponding to the other vehicle 106 as requested in 102 a to capture a video image of the other vehicle 106 . In another example, video processing center 202 may be configured to receive a request from a computing device to initiate a wide-angle view video conference call with vehicle 106a. For example, the request may be received from a video conferencing device in an office building where the wide-angle view video conference request is made by a party consisting of one or more people located in an office in the office building. In this example, the video processing center 202 may generate a control instruction or a control signal to the controller 110a, so that the controller 110a generates a control instruction or a control signal for capturing a wide-angle view video image inside the vehicle 106a.

在任何状况下,视频处理中心202可被配置成经由网络204而与控制器 110a互通控制指令或控制信号。控制指令或控制信号可包含视频处理中心202 所传输的指令或控制信号以请求控制器110a产生拍摄车辆106a的内部的广角视野视频图像的指令或控制信号。控制指令或控制信号可包含控制器110所传输的、指示车辆106a的视频图像拍摄的各种状态(例如,迄今为止接收的数据分组、迄今为止丢失的数据分组)的指令或控制信号和/或促进视频处理中心 202处理和/或同步来自控制器110a的视频数据的任何其它控制指令或控制信号。在一些实施方案中,控制指令或控制信号可包含视频处理中心202所传输的、请求控制器110终止车辆106a的广角视野视频图像拍摄的指令或控制信号。在一些实施方案中,控制指令或控制信号可包含视频处理中心202所传输的指令或控制信号,所述指令或控制信号指示关于视频处理中心202的各种统计。例如,视频处理中心202可被配置成将指示其吞吐率、其当前CPU负荷、其当前可用线程和/或任何其它统计的控制指令或控制信号传输到控制器 110以辅助控制器110确定应由UAV 102a拍摄的广角视野视频图像的质量。In any case, the video processing center 202 can be configured to communicate control instructions or control signals with the controller 110a via the network 204 . The control instruction or control signal may include the instruction or control signal transmitted by the video processing center 202 to request the controller 110a to generate an instruction or control signal to capture a wide-angle view video image of the interior of the vehicle 106a. The control instructions or control signals may include instructions or control signals transmitted by the controller 110 indicating various states of the video image capture of the vehicle 106a (e.g., data packets received so far, data packets lost so far) and/or Any other control instructions or control signals that facilitate video processing center 202 to process and/or synchronize video data from controller 110a. In some embodiments, the control instruction or control signal may include an instruction or control signal transmitted by the video processing center 202 requesting the controller 110 to terminate the capture of the wide-angle field of view video image of the vehicle 106a. In some implementations, the control instructions or control signals may include instructions or control signals transmitted by the video processing center 202 indicating various statistics about the video processing center 202 . For example, video processing center 202 may be configured to transmit to controller 110 control instructions or control signals indicative of its throughput rate, its current CPU load, its currently available threads, and/or any other statistics to assist controller 110 in determining which Quality of wide-angle field-of-view video images captured by UAV 102a.

如上所述,视频处理中心202可被配置成处理从控制器110接收的视频数据。视频处理中心202所进行的视频处理可包含合成视频数据以产生车辆 102a的内部的广角视图。例如,如上所述,在一些实施例中,UAV 102a可配备被配置成多个相机,所述多个相机从不同角度拍摄对象。在这些实施例中,从控制器110接收的视频数据可包含在不同信道中由这些相机拍摄的视频图像。例如,UAV 102a的第一相机可被配置成从第一角度拍摄车辆106a的内部;UAV 102a的第二相机可被配置成从第二角度拍摄车辆106a的内部,以此类推。从控制器110接收的视频数据可呈一种形式,以使得如第一相机所拍摄的车辆106a的内部的视频图像处于第一信道中,如第二相机所拍摄的车辆 106a的内部的视频图像处于第二信道中,以此类推。在这些实施例中,视频处理中心202可被配置成将在不同信道中传输的视频图像汇总在一起以形成车辆 106a的广角视野视频图像。As noted above, video processing center 202 may be configured to process video data received from controller 110 .

For example, as described above, in some embodiments, the UAV 102a may be equipped with multiple cameras configured to photograph objects from different angles. In these embodiments, the video data received from the controller 110 may contain video images captured by the cameras in different channels. For example, a first camera of UAV 102a may be configured to photograph the interior of vehicle 106a from a first angle; a second camera of UAV 102a may be configured to photograph the interior of vehicle 106a from a second angle, and so on. The video data received from the controller 110 may be in a form such that the video image of the interior of the vehicle 106a as captured by the first camera is in the first channel and the video image of the interior of the vehicle 106a as captured by the second camera in the second channel, and so on. In these embodiments, video processing center 202 may be configured to aggregate video images transmitted over different channels to form a wide-angle view video image of vehicle 106a.

在一些实施方案中,视频处理中心202所进行的视频处理可包含将从控制器110接收的视频数据同步。因为UAV网络110和/或网络204可以是“尽力而为”网络,所以通过这些网络传输的视频数据在被视频处理中心202接收时可以是失序的。在这些实施例中,视频处理中心202可被配置成处理从控制器110接收的视频数据以确保从控制器接收的分组是有序的。在一些实例中,某些视频分组可能在被传输到视频处理中心202时沿路丢失。在这些实例中,视频处理中心202可被配置成指示控制器110重发丢失的视频分组。在一些实施方案中,视频处理中心202可被配置成汇总在广角视野视频会议中的不同方的视频馈送,以形成这多方的组合视图。例如,当广角视野视频会议包含不止两方时,视频处理中心202可被配置成组合来自这多方中的两方的馈送,以传输到广角视野视频会议中的给定方。在一些实施方案中,视频处理中心202可被配置成将从控制器110接收的视频数据与音频数据进行组合。例如,视频处理中心202可被配置成从网络204接收车辆106a的音频数据。例如,可使用录音装置(例如,设置在车辆106a内的麦克风)来捕捉广角视野会议的音频部分,并且所采集的音频数据可经由网络204而传输到视频处理中心202。在此实例中,在从车辆106a接收到音频数据之后,视频处理中心202可被配置成将视频数据和音频数据同步以传输到广角视野会议中的一个或更多个其它方。In some implementations, the video processing performed by the video processing center 202 may include synchronizing the video data received from the controller 110 . Because UAV network 110 and/or network 204 may be "best effort" networks, video data transmitted over these networks may be out of sequence when received by video processing center 202 . In these embodiments, video processing center 202 may be configured to process video data received from controller 110 to ensure that packets received from the controller are in order. In some instances, some video packets may be lost along the way while being transmitted to video processing center 202 . In these instances, video processing center 202 may be configured to instruct controller 110 to retransmit lost video packets. In some embodiments, video processing center 202 may be configured to aggregate the video feeds of different parties in a wide-angle view video conference to form a combined view of the multiple parties. For example, when a wide-angle view video conference includes more than two parties, video processing center 202 may be configured to combine feeds from two of the multiple parties for transmission to a given party in the wide-angle view video conference. In some embodiments, video processing center 202 may be configured to combine video data received from controller 110 with audio data. For example, video processing center 202 may be configured to receive audio data from vehicle 106a from network 204 . For example, an audio recording device (eg, a microphone disposed within vehicle 106 a ) may be used to capture the audio portion of the wide-angle view meeting, and the captured audio data may be transmitted to video processing center 202 via network 204 . In this example, after receiving audio data from vehicle 106a, video processing center 202 may be configured to synchronize the video data and audio data for transmission to one or more other parties in the wide-angle view conference.

还如上所述,视频处理中心202可被配置成将一方或更多方的广角视野视频图像的视频图像输出到处理中心202所主持的广角视频会议中的给定方。例如,广角视野视频会议中的一方可以是车辆106a,广角视野视频会议中的第二方可以是另一车辆,例如,车辆106b,广角视野视频会议中的第三方可以是位于使用视频会议装置的建筑中的某一办公室内的一人或多人和/或任何其它一方或更多方。在此实例中,视频处理中心202可被配置成组合来自第二方和第三方的馈送以形成这多方的广角视野视频图像,并经由网络204而将所组合的视频图像传输到车辆106a。车辆102a可配备一个或更多个广角视野显示器,用于输出从视频处理中心202接收的广角视野视频图像。例如,在一个实施方案中,车辆106a可配备LCD屏幕所覆盖的仪表板。在此实例中,如从视频处理中心202接收的第二方和第三方的视频图像可以输出到仪表板LCD屏幕,以利于车辆106a中的人们与第二方和第三方进行广角视野会议。类似地,视频处理中心202可被配置成组合来自UAV 102a的广角视野视频数据以及来自第二方的视频馈送以输出到办公室中的视频会议装置。例如,视频会议装置可包含具有宽屏幕的全景显示器。As also described above, video processing center 202 may be configured to output video images of one or more parties' wide-angle view video images to a given party in a wide-angle video conference hosted by processing center 202 . For example, one party in the wide-angle view video conference may be vehicle 106a, the second party in the wide-angle view video conference may be another vehicle, such as vehicle 106b, and the third party in the wide-angle view video conference may be located at a vehicle using a video conferencing device. One or more persons and/or any other party or parties in an office in a building. In this example, video processing center 202 may be configured to combine feeds from the second party and the third party to form a wide-angle view video image of the multiple parties, and transmit the combined video image to vehicle 106a via network 204 . Vehicle 102a may be equipped with one or more wide-angle view displays for outputting wide-angle view video images received from video processing center 202 . For example, in one embodiment, the vehicle 106a may be equipped with a dashboard covered by an LCD screen. In this example, the video images of the second and third parties as received from the video processing center 202 may be output to the dashboard LCD screen to facilitate wide-angle view conferences with the second and third parties for people in the vehicle 106a. Similarly, video processing center 202 may be configured to combine wide-angle view video data from UAV 102a with a video feed from a second party for output to a video conferencing device in the office. For example, a video conferencing device may include a panoramic display with a wide screen.

现参照图5,其中示出视频处理中心202的实例。如图所示,视频处理中心202可包含被配置成执行程序组件的一个或更多个处理器502。程序组件可包含视频会议请求组件504、寻址组件506、UAV通信组件508、视频组件 510和/或任何其它组件。视频会议组件504可被配置成接收用于发起广角视野视频会议的请求。这可包含从一方接收与一个或更多个其它方建立广角视野视频会议的请求。例如,视频会议组件504可被配置成从车辆106a接收与另一车辆106建立广角视野视频会议的请求。此请求可由视频会议组件504经由网络204来接收,所述网络204可包含有线和/或无线网络。例如,网络204可包含因特网。在此实例中,车辆106a可被配置成经由网络204来对视频会议组件504进行视频会议呼叫。Referring now to FIG. 5, an example of a video processing center 202 is shown. As shown, video processing center 202 may include one or more processors 502 configured to execute program components. Program components may include video conference request component 504, addressing component 506, UAV communication component 508, video component 510, and/or any other components. Video conferencing component 504 can be configured to receive a request to initiate a wide-angle view video conference. This may include receiving a request from one party to establish a wide-angle view video conference with one or more other parties. For example, video conferencing component 504 may be configured to receive a request from vehicle 106a to establish a wide-angle view video conference with another vehicle 106 . This request can be received by video conferencing component 504 via network 204, which can include wired and/or wireless networks. For example, network 204 may include the Internet. In this example, vehicle 106a may be configured to place a video conference call to video conference component 504 via network 204 .

寻址组件506可被配置成识别如视频会议组件504所接收的请求中所指示的、视频会议中所涉及的一方的地址。这可包含识别所述方的可达到的地址。例如,当所述方是车辆时,寻址组件506可被配置成识别哪一控制器110 可负责控制与车辆进行的通信和/或车辆的视频拍摄。作为另一实例,当所述方是陆线会议装置时,寻址组件506可被配置成确定陆线会议装置的因特网地址。在实施方案中,寻址组件506可被配置成与目录服务器通信以确定或识别所述方的可达到的地址。Addressing component 506 can be configured to identify addresses of parties involved in the video conference as indicated in the request received by video conference component 504 . This may include identifying a reachable address for the party. For example, when the party is a vehicle, addressing component 506 may be configured to identify which controller 110 may be responsible for controlling communications with the vehicle and/or video capture of the vehicle. As another example, when the party is a landline conferencing device, addressing component 506 can be configured to determine an Internet address of the landline conferencing device. In an embodiment, addressing component 506 can be configured to communicate with a directory server to determine or identify reachable addresses for the party.

UAV通信组件508可被配置成经由网络(例如,网络204)而与UAV控制器通信。通过UAV通信组件508与UAV控制器的通信可包含将视频处理中心202所产生的控制指令或控制信号传达到UAV控制器。例如,响应于如所描述的接收发起广角视野视频会议的请求,视频处理中心202可被配置成通过自身产生控制指令或控制信号来发起广角视野视频会议。例如,视频处理中心 202所产生的控制指令或控制信号可包含指示与另一车辆106对应的控制器 110a拍摄另一车辆106的视频图像。这些控制指令或控制信号可由通信组件 508经由网络204而传达到控制器110。在一些实施方案中,控制指令或控制信号可包含请求控制器110a终止车辆106a的广角视野视频图像拍摄的指令或控制信号。在一些实施方案中,控制指令或控制信号可包含视频处理中心202 所传输的、指示关于视频处理中心202的各种统计的指令或控制信号。例如,视频处理中心202可被配置成将指示其吞吐率、其当前CPU负荷、其当前可用线程和/或任何其它统计的控制指令或控制信号传输到控制器110以辅助控制器110确定应由UAV 102a拍摄的广角视野视频图像的质量。UAV communication component 508 may be configured to communicate with the UAV controller via a network (eg, network 204). Communication with the UAV controller via the UAV communication component 508 may include communicating control commands or control signals generated by the video processing center 202 to the UAV controller. For example, in response to receiving a request to initiate a wide-angle video conference as described, the video processing center 202 may be configured to initiate a wide-angle video conference by itself generating a control instruction or a control signal. For example, the control command or control signal generated by the video processing center 202 may include instructing the controller 110a corresponding to the other vehicle 106 to capture a video image of the other vehicle 106 . These control instructions or control signals can be communicated by the communication component 508 to the controller 110 via the network 204 . In some embodiments, the control instruction or control signal may include an instruction or control signal requesting the controller 110a to terminate the capture of the wide-angle field of view video image by the vehicle 106a. In some embodiments, the control instructions or control signals may include instructions or control signals transmitted by the video processing center 202 indicating various statistics about the video processing center 202 . For example, video processing center 202 may be configured to transmit to controller 110 control instructions or control signals indicative of its throughput rate, its current CPU load, its currently available threads, and/or any other statistics to assist controller 110 in determining which Quality of wide-angle field-of-view video images captured by UAV 102a.

视频数据组件510可被配置成处理从UAV控制器接收的视频数据。视频数据组件510所进行的视频处理可包含合成视频数据以产生运输设备的内部的广角视图。例如,如上所述,在一些实施例中,UAV可配备多个相机,所述多个相机被配置成从不同角度拍摄对象。在这些实施例中,从控制器110a接收的视频数据可在不同信道中包含由这些相机拍摄的视频图像。例如,UAV 102a的第一相机可被配置成从第一角度拍摄车辆106a的内部;UAV102a的第二相机可被配置成从第二角度拍摄车辆106a的内部;以此类推。从控制器 110a接收的视频数据可呈一种形式,以使得如第一相机所拍摄的车辆106a的内部的视频图像处于第一信道中,如第二相机所拍摄的车辆106a的内部的视频图像处于第二信道中,以此类推。在这些实施例中,视频数据组件506可被配置成将不同信道中传输的视频图像汇总在一起以形成车辆106a的广角视野视频图像。Video data component 510 may be configured to process video data received from a UAV controller. Video processing by video data component 510 may include compositing video data to produce a wide-angle view of the interior of the transportation device. For example, as noted above, in some embodiments the UAV may be equipped with multiple cameras configured to photograph objects from different angles. In these embodiments, the video data received from the controller 110a may contain video images captured by these cameras in different channels. For example, a first camera of UAV 102a may be configured to photograph the interior of vehicle 106a from a first angle; a second camera of UAV 102a may be configured to photograph the interior of vehicle 106a from a second angle; and so on. The video data received from the controller 110a may be in a form such that the video image of the interior of the vehicle 106a as captured by the first camera is in the first channel and the video image of the interior of the vehicle 106a as captured by the second camera in the second channel, and so on. In these embodiments, video data component 506 may be configured to aggregate video images transmitted in different channels together to form a wide-angle view video image of vehicle 106a.

在一些实施方案中,视频数据组件510所进行的视频处理可包含将从控制器110接收的视频数据同步。因为UAV网络110和/或网络204可以是“尽力而为”网络,所以通过这些网络传输的视频数据在被视频数据组件510接收时可以是失序的。在这些实施例中,视频数据组件510可被配置成处理从控制器110a接收的视频数据以确保从控制器接收的分组是有序的。在一些实例中,某些视频分组可在被传输到视频数据组件510时沿路丢失。在这些实例中,视频数据组件510可被配置成指示控制器110a重发丢失的视频分组。在一些实施方案中,视频数据组件510可被配置成汇总在广角视野视频会议中的不同方的视频馈送,以形成这多方的组合视图。例如,当广角视野视频会议包含不止两方时,视频数据组件510可被配置成将来自这多方中的两方的馈送组合在一起,以传输到广角视野视频会议中的给定方。在一些实施方案中,视频数据组件510可被配置成将从控制器110接收的视频数据与音频数据组合。例如,视频数据组件510可被配置成从网络204接收车辆106a的音频数据。例如,广角视野会议的音频部分可使用录音装置(例如,设置在车辆106a内的麦克风)来捕捉,并且所捕捉的音频数据可经由网络204而传输到视频数据组件510。在此实例中,在从车辆106a接收到音频数据之后,视频数据组件510 可被配置成将视频和音频数据同步以传输到广角视野会议中的一个或更多个其它方。In some implementations, video processing by video data component 510 may include synchronizing video data received from controller 110 . Because UAV network 110 and/or network 204 may be "best effort" networks, video data transmitted over these networks may be out of sequence when received by video data component 510 . In these embodiments, video data component 510 may be configured to process video data received from controller 110a to ensure that packets received from the controller are in order. In some instances, certain video packets may be lost along the way while being transmitted to video data component 510 . In these instances, video data component 510 may be configured to instruct controller 110a to retransmit lost video packets. In some embodiments, video data component 510 can be configured to aggregate the video feeds of different parties in a wide-angle view video conference to form a combined view of the multiple parties. For example, when a wide-angle view video conference includes more than two parties, video data component 510 can be configured to combine feeds from two of the multiple parties for transmission to a given party in the wide-angle view video conference. In some implementations, video data component 510 may be configured to combine video data received from controller 110 with audio data. For example, video data component 510 may be configured to receive audio data for vehicle 106 a from network 204 . For example, the audio portion of the wide-angle view meeting may be captured using a recording device (eg, a microphone disposed within vehicle 106 a ), and the captured audio data may be transmitted via network 204 to video data component 510 . In this example, after audio data is received from vehicle 106a, video data component 510 can be configured to synchronize the video and audio data for transmission to one or more other parties in the wide-angle view conference.

According to one set of embodiments, some or all of these methods are performed by computer system 700 in response to processor 710 executing one or more sequences of one or more instructions that may be incorporated into operating system 740 and/or working memory Other code contained in 735 (for example, application program 745) is executed. These instructions may be read into working memory 735 from another computer-readable medium (eg, one or more of storage devices 725 ). By way of example only, execution of the sequences of instructions contained in working memory 735 may cause processor 710 to perform one or more procedures of the methods described herein. Additionally or alternatively, portions of the methods described herein may be performed by specialized hardware.

如本文所使用的术语“机器可读介质”和“计算机可读介质”表示参与提供导致机器以具体方式操作的数据的任何介质。在使用计算机系统700实施的实施例中,各种计算机可读介质可参与将指令/代码提供到处理器710以供执行,和/或可用于存储和/或携载这些指令/代码。在许多实施方案中,计算机可读介质是物理和/或有形存储介质。此介质可采取非易失性介质或易失性介质的形式。非易失性介质包含例如光盘和/或磁盘,例如,存储装置725。易失性介质包含但不限于动态存储器,例如,工作存储器735。The terms "machine-readable medium" and "computer-readable medium" as used herein mean any medium that participates in providing data that causes a machine to operate in a specific manner. In embodiments implemented using computer system 700, various computer-readable media may participate in providing instructions/code to processor 710 for execution and/or may be used to store and/or carry such instructions/code. In many implementations, computer readable media are physical and/or tangible storage media. This media can take the form of non-volatile media or volatile media. Non-volatile media include, for example, optical and/or magnetic disks, eg, storage device 725 . Volatile media includes, but is not limited to, dynamic memory, such as working memory 735 .

常见形式的物理和/或有形计算机可读介质包含例如软盘、柔性盘、硬盘、磁带或任何其它磁性介质、CD-ROM、任何其它光学介质、穿孔卡片、纸带、具有孔图案的任何其它物理介质、RAM、PROM、EPROM、FLASH- EPROM、任何其它存储器芯片或盒式存储器,或者计算机可从中读取指令和/ 或代码的任何其它介质。Common forms of physical and/or tangible computer readable media include, for example, floppy disks, flexible disks, hard disks, magnetic tape, or any other magnetic media, CD-ROMs, any other optical media, punched cards, paper tape, any other physical media, RAM, PROM, EPROM, FLASH-EPROM, any other memory chip or cartridge, or any other medium from which a computer can read instructions and/or code.

各种形式的计算机可读介质可参与将一个或更多个指令的一个或更多个序列携载到处理器710以供执行。仅举例来说,指令可最初被携载在远程计算机的磁盘和/或光盘上。远程计算机可将指令加载到其动态存储器中,并且将指令作为信号在传输介质上发送以由计算机系统700接收和/或执行。Various forms of computer readable media may be involved in carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions to processor 710 for execution. By way of example only, the instructions may initially be carried on a magnetic and/or optical disk on the remote computer. The remote computer can load the instructions into its dynamic memory and send the instructions as a signal over a transmission medium for receipt and/or execution by computer system 700 .
