arXiv:2610.11130v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Smartphones carried by hikers routinely record routes, locations, and requests for assistance, and these records can provide precise clues for mountain search. However, they are rarely transformed in a direct and timely way into unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) missions that support search and rescue. This paper presents a user-triggered UAV dispatching system that integrates mobile information collection, ground station mission management, and UAV search into a single workflow. In our system, a mobile application is designed to continuously track user records and synchronize these records to the cloud database, thereby initiating all subsequent search events and UAV-dispatch missions. A control platform is developed to retrieve records from the cloud database for operator verification and mission scheduling. A UAV prototype is implemented to execute the approved mission, follow waypoints, report status, relay phone records when available, and record downward-facing video for later inspection. Simulations are conducted for UAV-dispatching missions using a terrain-following flight altitude of $80$~m above ground level and demonstrate successful route generation, ordered waypoint traversal, and return to the launch site for landing of the UAV dispatching. Local software tests verified timeout detection with a 1s threshold and phone-record transfer from the mobile application through the UAV to the ground station. Outdoor trials showed that the UAV could fly autonomously and capture downward-facing imagery in which a person, a nearby footpath, and surrounding vegetation were clearly discernible, providing visual cues for operator assessment and further inspection of the search area.
