1. A communication system comprising:
a wireless communication apparatus disposed on a person and configured to obtain physiological information of the person;
a control center apparatus; and
an unmanned aerial vehicle connected to the control center apparatus,
wherein the control center apparatus controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly within a first range, such that the unmanned aerial vehicle searches for the wireless communication apparatus within the first range, and when the unmanned aerial vehicle finds the wireless communication apparatus within the first range, the control center apparatus controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly within a second range,
wherein the second range is equal to or less than a communicable range of the wireless communication apparatus, the unmanned aerial vehicle continuously receives a physiological information signal with the physiological information transmitted by the wireless communication apparatus, and the unmanned aerial vehicle transmits the physiological information signal back to the control center apparatus;
wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a first communication unit and a second communication unit, the first communication unit is configured to connect to the control center apparatus, and the second communication unit is configured to connect to the wireless communication apparatus,
wherein the first communication unit and the second communication unit use different communication protocols,
wherein a first antenna of the first communication unit is disposed on a first wing of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and a second antenna of the second communication unit is disposed on a second wing of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
