The integration of Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) significantly expands the operational scope of the Consumer Internet of Vehicles (CIoV), enhancing its potential applications. In this paper, a UAV swarm task intent prediction and path recommendation framework is proposed to effectively address the challenges of resource utilization associated with spatially distributed consumer electronic services. Employing fuzzy theory, the framework integrates multi-sensor UAV data using Neural Network (NN)-based membership functions and fuzzy rules. These elements facilitate automatic optimization and historical scenario analysis to infer task intent, represented as spatial task distribution. Additionally, the predicted intent and environmental features are combined in a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to predict bid prices in an auction algorithm, thereby enhancing path recommendation capabilities. The framework is validated on the developed semi-physical platform supporting real-time UAV swarm control and inter-UAV communication, demonstrating superior performance in system throughput and service percentage compared to existing methods.
