Remote control method and terminal

A terminal, comprising:

• a user interface configured to receive selection of a mode from a plurality of modes and display an attitude range indicator, the plurality of modes including at least one of an angle-to-angle control mode, an angle-to-speed control mode, or an angle-to-acceleration control mode, the attitude range indicator including a first region and a second region;
• a sensor configured to detect an attitude of the terminal;
• and
• a processor configured to generate a control signal to control a rotational attribute of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or a payload coupled to the UAV based on the selected mode and the detected attitude of the terminal;
• wherein:
• the first region indicates a predetermined range of angles corresponding to the angle-to-angle control mode where an attitude change of the terminal causes a rotational angle of the UAV or the payload to be changed;
• the second region indicates a range of angles within an overall range of angles the UAV or the payload is able to move but outside the predetermined range of angles;
• and
• the range of angles indicated by the second region corresponds to the angel-to-speed control mode or the angle-to-acceleration control mode where the attitude change of the terminal causes a rotational speed or a rotational acceleration of the UAV or the payload to be changed.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, from a terminal configured to remotely control the UAV, a sensor signal indicating an attitude of the terminal, the terminal including a user interface configured to display an attitude range indicator, the attitude range indicator including a first region and a second region;
• and
• in response to the sensor signal, generate one or more control signals configured to control a rotational attribute of the UAV or a payload coupled to the UAV based on the sensor signal and a mode selected from a plurality of modes comprising at least one of an angle-to-angle control mode, an angle-to-speed control mode, or an angle-to-acceleration control mode;
• wherein:
• the first region indicates a predetermined range of angles corresponding to the angle-to-angle control mode where an attitude change of the terminal causes a rotational angle of the UAV or the payload to be changed;
• the second region indicates a range of angles within an overall range of angles the UAV or the payload is able to move but outside the predetermined range of angles;
• and
• the range of angles indicated by the second region corresponds to the angel-to-speed control mode or the angle-to-acceleration control mode where the attitude change of the terminal causes a rotational speed or a rotational acceleration of the UAV or the payload to be changed.
