Description

用于移动终端的基于GPS的供应
技术领域
本发明的各方面涉及移动终端及其控制方法,并且更特别地涉及针对软件和/或硬件特征的许可密钥(key)的基于位置的供应(provisioning)的移动终端及其控制方法。
背景技术
通常,计算设备可被认为归入两类:固定的和移动的。固定终端通常合并到静止物体中(如销售点系统和墙)。与固定设备相比,移动终端具有类似的电子配置,但在机械上被设计为由用户随身携带或安装在可移动物体上(如汽车、推车和叉式升降机)。举例来说,移动终端可以是导航系统、电话、个人数字助理(PDA)或便携式数据终端(PDT)。
最近,计算设备已经装备有内部或外部全球定位系统(GPS)接收机。GPS接收机在任意给定时间动态地提供计算设备的位置、方向和/或速度信息。特别地,位置信息采取坐标对的形式(经度和纬度)。然后将位置信息显示给用户,或以其他方式在计算设备中使用。例如,能够将位置信息输入正在执行的软件程序,以载入附近的餐馆和吸引人的东西。
但是,位置信息不控制计算设备或其硬件和软件特征的许可(也就是对使用的准许)。而是,许可密钥控制计算设备中所安装的软件或硬件特征的许可。具体来说,软件或硬件特征被安装在终端中,用正确的许可密钥来准予对使用软件或硬件特征的准许。
可以用多种方式将许可密钥发送给计算设备(例如,从许可密钥服务器经由网络提供)。但是,在计算设备接收到许可密钥之后,利用许可密钥来的准许对相应的硬件或软件特征的使用通常是不受限制的。例如,软件制造商不能根据执行软件的计算设备的位置来控制其软件的使用。因此,需要一种根据计算设备的软件或硬件特征的位置来控制软件或硬件特征的使用的方法。
发明内容
本发明的各方面提供一种针对软件和/或硬件特征的许可密钥的基于位置的供应的计算设备及其控制方法。
根据本发明的一个方面,提供了一种计算设备,其根据当前位置启用其特征,所述计算设备包括:位置单元,用于确定计算设备的当前位置;和许可单元,用于确定当前位置是否对应于预定授权位置,并且如果当前位置对应于授权位置,则启用所述特征。
根据本发明的另一个方面,提供一种方法,其根据计算设备的当前位置启用计算设备的特征,该方法包括:确定计算设备的当前位置;确定当前位置是否对应于预定授权位置;并且如果当前位置对应于授权位置则启用所述特征。
根据本发明的又一个方面,提供一种便携式数据终端(PDT),其根据当前位置启用其特征,该PDT包括:全球定位系统接收机,用于确定PDT的当前位置;至少一个存储单元,用于储存至少一个软件特征;至少一个数据输入设备,用于接收用户输入;显示单元,用于显示PDT所生成的数据;至少一个通信单元,用于向/从外部源发送和/或接收数据;至少一个数据收集子系统,用于根据接收的波形或收集的光来生成数据;以及至少一个处理单元,用于确定当前位置是否对应于预定授权位置,并且如果当前位置对应于授权位置,则启用至少一个数据输入设备、显示单元、至少一个通信单元、至少一个数据收集子系统和/或至少一个软件特征中的一个或多个。
本发明的其它方面和/或优点将在下面的描述中被部分地阐述,并且部分地通过该描述而变得明显,或者可通过实践本发明而学会。

具体实施方式
现在将详细参考本发明的各个实施例,在附图中示出了其例子,其中在全文中相同的附图标记表示相同的元素。以下通过参考附图来描述实施例以便解释本发明。
图1是根据本发明的实施例的计算设备的框图。参考图1,计算设备包括位置单元110、许可单元120、存储单元130和控制单元140。
位置单元110确定计算设备的当前位置。此外,位置单元110可以生成包括对应于计算设备的当前位置的坐标对(例如经度和纬度坐标对)的位置信息。位置单元110可以是全球定位系统(GPS)接收机。
许可单元120可以是运行时间(run time)模块,其确定位置单元110所确定的当前位置是否对应于预定授权位置。具体来说,许可单元120可以确定生成的坐标对是否对应于预定授权坐标对。例如,如果授权位置是(25度、25分和25秒赤道以北,和25度、25分和25秒西),则许可单元120确定位置单元110所生成的位置信息是否包括(25度、25分、25秒赤道以北,和25度、25分和25秒西)。可以理解的是,本发明的各方面不限于一个特定坐标对作为授权位置。而是,授权位置可以是限定区域(例如圆形区域或多边形区域)、多个限定区域或多个坐标对。
存储单元130储存一个或多个软件程序或特征。授权位置可以属于(或对应于)存储单元130中所储存的一个软件程序或特征,或属于存储单元130中所储存的多个软件程序或特征。此外,多个储存的软件程序或特征可以具有不同的授权位置。例如,存储单元130中储存的一个或多个第一软件特征可以对应于第一授权区域,而存储单元130中储存的一个或多个第二软件特征可以对应于不同于第一授权区域的第二授权区域。
控制单元140控制计算设备的上述组件110、120和130的全部操作。此外,如果计算设备的当前位置对应于属于某个软件特征的授权位置,则控制单元140利用(例如)许可密钥来启用存储单元130中储存的该软件特征(或程序)。例如,如果授权位置(25度、25分和25秒赤道以北,和25度、25分和25秒西)对应于储存的软件特征,则如果计算设备的当前位置是(25度、25分和25秒赤道以北,和25度、25分和25秒西),那么控制单元140就启用所述软件特征。
此外,如果控制单元140启用所述软件特征,则位置单元110可以按照预定时间间隔周期性地确定计算设备的新的当前位置,以使得当计算设备离开授权位置时控制单元140停用该软件特征。也就是说如果许可单元120确定新的当前位置不对应于授权位置,则控制单元140停用该软件特征。但是,可以理解的是,本发明的各个方面不限于此。可替换地,一旦软件特征被启用,该软件特征就永不被停用,或者该软件特征可以在预定时间段之后被停用。
授权位置可以嵌入在软件特征的许可密钥中。从而,许可单元120从许可密钥中提取授权位置,并且如果位置单元110所确定的当前位置对应于提取的授权位置的话,则启用软件特征。在这种情况下,当接收到许可密钥时,许可单元120可以使用公开密钥来打开(或解密)许可密钥,提取并接着储存授权位置。因此,当需要许可的软件特征要被启用时,许可单元120向位置单元110询问计算设备的当前位置,并确定当前位置是否对应于储存的授权位置。
根据其他方面,许可密钥本身可以用授权位置来加密,以使得如果许可单元140成功地用当前位置解密了许可密钥的话,则许可单元120确定当前位置对应于授权位置。具体来说,可以提取定义授权位置的信息(例如坐标对)以创建加密密钥,其用于加密许可密钥。因此,只有当前位置与授权位置匹配时,许可密钥才能被解密。此外,许可密钥在被接收到时不被处理,而是被储存,直到(例如)控制单元140调用许可单元120以准予或拒绝软件特征访问请求。在这种情况下,授权位置也可以被嵌入到许可密钥中,以使得当计算设备离开授权位置时控制单元140停用软件特征,如上文所描述的那样。
虽然已经描述了关于软件特征的本实施例,但应理解的是,本发明的各个方面不限于此。例如,根据其他方面,可以根据计算设备的位置来启用硬件特征。进一步可以理解的是,软件特征是指完整的软件程序,或软件程序的一个或多个部分。此外,许可密钥信息可以被嵌入到许可密钥中,该信息描述将要由许可密钥启用的特征。计算设备可以是移动终端(例如个人数字助理(PDA)、电话、笔记本电脑和便携式数据终端(PDT))或固定终端(如个人电脑)。
现在将参考图2来描述位置单元110和许可单元120的详细操作。图2图示了地理图,其中根据本发明的实施例来许可软件特征。可以理解的是,图2中所示的地理图是非限制性示例。参考图2,位置单元110将该图的区域中的所有坐标舍入(round)成在该图上共用的预定增量。可以理解的是,本发明的各个方面不限于此。例如,根据其他方面,一个预定增量可应用于纵轴,而另一个预定增量可应用于横轴。无论怎样,这在地理图上有效地产生了网格210,其中网格的每个单元格(cell)是最小参考单元且每个单元格具有相同的大小。授权区域220是具有25个单元格的预定义方形区域的网格。根据其它方面,授权区域220可以是多边形区域、圆形区域或仅仅是网格的一个单元格。
当许可单元120被调用以许可软件特征时,许可单元120向位置单元110询问当前位置。在确定了计算设备的当前位置时,位置单元110根据上述预定增量来转换该位置。许可单元120从许可密钥中获取定义授权位置220的信息。例如,该信息可以包括授权位置220的中心230的坐标对以及授权位置220的方形区域的边长。该信息是未加密的,或是用公共密钥加密的,以使得许可单元120能够在不考虑计算设备的位置的情况下获取该信息。因此,许可单元基于该信息确定当前位置是否落在授权位置220内。
正如上文参考图1所描述的那样,在许可密钥是用授权位置来加密的情况下,例如,定义授权位置220的中心230的坐标对可用于加密许可密钥。因此,利用当前位置240或250以及根据授权位置220的方形区域的边长来定义的方形区域内的所有舍入的坐标对,许可单元110发起解密尝试错误(trial and error)循环以解密许可密钥,其中当前位置240或250是方形区域的中心。因此,如果当前位置240在授权位置220内,则在尝试错误循环中所使用的一个坐标对与用于加密许可密钥的坐标对230匹配,且因此会成功地解密该许可密钥。否则,在使用了方形区域的所有可能的坐标且未成功解密许可密钥之后,许可单元120确定当前位置250不在授权位置220内。
图3是图示出根据本发明实施例给计算设备供应许可密钥的方法的流程图。参考图3,在操作S300中确定计算设备的当前位置。此外,可以生成位置信息,其包括对应于计算设备的当前位置的坐标对(例如经度和纬度坐标对)。计算设备的当前位置可以由GPS接收机来确定。
然后,在操作S310中,将当前位置(操作S300)与预定授权位置进行比较。授权位置可以是一个特定坐标对,限定区域,多个坐标对或多个限定区域。同样,正如上文参考图1所描述的那样,授权位置可以被嵌入许可密钥中,或可用于加密许可密钥。
如果当前位置对应于授权位置(操作S310),则在操作S320中,例如利用该许可密钥,启用属于该授权位置的一个或多个软件特征。此外,如果一个或多个软件特征被启用(操作S320),则可以按照预定时间间隔周期性地检查计算设备的新的当前位置,以使得如果计算设备离开该授权位置则停用所述一个或多个软件特征。但是,可以理解的是,本发明的各个方面不限于此。可替换地,一旦被启用(操作S320),所述一个或多个软件特征就可能永不被停用,或者所述一个或多个软件特征可以在预定时间段之后被停用(例如许可密钥期满)。
图4是图示出根据本发明另一个实施例给计算设备供应许可密钥的方法的流程图。参考图4,在操作S400中确定计算设备的当前位置。此外,可以生成位置信息,其包括对应于计算设备的当前位置的坐标对(例如经度和纬度坐标对)。计算设备的当前位置可以由GPS接收机来确定。
在操作S410中,按照预定增量来转换当前位置(操作S400),其中所述预定增量被普遍应用于可适用的地理区域的所有坐标。根据其他方面,一个预定增量可应用于纵坐标,而另一个预定增量可应用于横坐标。无论怎样,这有效地产生了对应于地理区域的网格,其中网格的每个单元格是最小参考单元且每个单元格具有相同的大小。
在操作S420中获取定义一个或多个软件特征的授权位置的信息。授权位置可以是一个特定坐标对,限定区域,多个坐标对或多个限定区域。同样,正如上文参考图1所描述的那样,授权位置可以被嵌入许可密钥中,或可以用于加密该许可密钥。举例来说,正如上文参考图2所描述的那样,定义授权位置的信息可以包括授权位置的中心的坐标对以及授权位置的方形区域的边长。
然后,在操作S430中,将计算设备的当前位置(操作S400)与授权位置进行比较,以确定当前位置是否位于授权位置内。正如上文参考图1所描述的那样,在许可密钥是用授权位置来加密的情况下,例如,定义(例如)授权位置中心的坐标对可用于加密该许可密钥。在这种情况下,利用当前位置(操作S400)和方形区域内所有舍入的坐标对来发起解密尝试错误循环以解密许可密钥,该方形区域是根据授权位置的方形区域的边长来定义的,其中当前位置是方形区域的中心。因此,如果当前位置在授权位置内,则在尝试错误循环中使用的一个坐标对与用于加密该许可密钥的坐标对匹配,且因此将成功地解密该许可密钥。否则,在使用了方形区域的所有可能的坐标且未成功解密该许可密钥之后,确定当前位置不在授权位置内。
如果当前位置对应于授权位置(操作S430),则在操作S440中利用该许可密钥来启用属于该授权位置的一个或多个软件特征。
图5和6图示出根据本发明实施例的便携式数据终端(PDT)300。当在系统层面察看时,PDT 300示出了移动计算设备所使用的各种子系统。因此,虽然下面的讨论集中于PDT,但本发明的各个方面不限于此。也就是说,本发明的各个方面可应用于其它类型的移动终端(如个人数字助理和电话)和固定终端(如个人电脑)。
PDT 300一般集成了移动计算机、一个或多个数据传输路径,以及一个或多个数据收集子系统。移动计算机部分通常类似于已知的触摸屏客户导向便携计算设备(例如,掌上电脑或PDA),例如能够从PALM,HEWLETT PACKARD和DELL获得的那些计算设备。数据传输路径包括有线和无线路径,例如802.11、IrDA、蓝牙、RS-232、USB、CDMA、GSM(包括GPRS)等。数据收集子系统一般包括从外部源(例如触摸、按键、RFID信号、图像和条码)捕获数据的设备。PDT 300进一步通过使用集成于外壳中的“工业”组件而区别于客户导向移动计算设备,所述外壳给客户导向设备提供了增强的耐久性、人机工程学和环境独立性。此外,PDT 300倾向于通过使用高级的电池和功率管理系统来提供改进的电池寿命。
图5是根据本发明的实施例的PDT 300的平面图。参考图1,PDT 300包括伸长的机身302、电池(未示出)、触摸屏306、小键盘308、扫描引擎(未示出)以及数据/充电端口(未示出)。PDT 300还包括全球定位系统接收机(未示出)。
机身302可以是防水机身,并且被伸长以支持上文所列的多个组件。触摸屏306包括显示屏(例如LCD屏)和触敏面板。小键盘308包括扫描按钮308a以通过扫描引擎发起数据捕获。举例来说,该扫描引擎可以包括图像引擎、激光引擎以及RFID引擎中的一个或多个。数据/充电端口通常包括专有机械接口,该接口具有(例如)一组引脚(pin)或焊点(pad)以用于(通常经由串行接口标准例如USB或RS-232)发送和/或接收数据,并且具有第二组引脚或焊点以用于接收运行系统和/或给电池充电所需的功率。
GPS接收机确定PDT 300的位置。根据本发明的各个方面,根据GPS接收机所确定的位置来准予对使用一个或多个软件或硬件特征的准许。具体来说,正如上文参考图1至4所描述的那样,使用扫描键308a的软件可能是受限于当前位置,由此GPS接收机确定PDT 300的位置。
图6是根据本发明的实施例的PDT 300的框图。参考图6,PDT 300包括中央处理单元(CPU)302、主系统总线304、多个存储单元305a、305b和305c,多个通用异步接收机/发射机(UART)端口306a、306b、306c和306d,双通用异步接收机/发射机(DUART)310,多个辅处理器312、314和316,多个数据输入设备322、324和326,LCD显示器320,多个通信链路340、342、344和346,多个适用的数据收集子系统350和360,以及GPS接收机380。
CPU 302从其他子系统接收数据并且向其他子系统输出数据,用于储存、传输和附加处理。例如,CPU 302从GPS接收机380接收PDT 300的当前位置。CPU 302的全部操作由一个或多个存储单元305n中所储存的软件或固件(通常称为操作系统)来控制,所述存储单元例如是随机存取存储器(RAM)305a、闪存305b、电可擦除可编程只读存储器(EEPROM)305c。
一般来说,CPU 202和各个子组件之间的通信经由一个或多个端口或总线来进行,包括主系统总线304,多个UART端口306a、306b、306c、306d和306e,以及DUART 310。
多个辅处理器312、314和316执行通用和专用功能。图6中所示的实施例包括三个这样的处理器:现场可编程门阵列(FPGA)312、辅助处理器314和LCD控制器316。FPGA312可以包括任意数量的FPGA,包括可从XILINX获得的Virtex-4家族的FPGA。FPGA 312与以下所描述的一个或多个数据输入设备322、324和326对接。辅助处理器314可以包括任意数量的嵌入(或通用)处理器。辅助处理器314与多个数据输入设备322、324和326对接并且对其进行控制,包括触敏面板322、小键盘324以及扫描键或触发器326。正如其名称和连接所提示的那样,LCD控制器316控制LCD显示器320上的图像的显示。LCD显示器320和触敏面板322的组合通常被称为“触摸屏”。
多个通信链路包括802.11通信链路340、红外(IR)通信链路342、蓝牙通信链路344和蜂窝通信链路346以用于与蜂窝网络通信,例如依照全球移动通信系统(GSM)网络的网络。802.11通信链路340经由主系统总线304与CPU302对接。IR通信链路342和蓝牙链路344经由UART信道306a、306b、306c、306d和306e连接到CPU 302。蜂窝通信链路346经由DUART 310连接到CPU302。有线通信可以通过UART 306n之一(例如UART 306e)来进行。
PDT 300可以被配置为基于小键盘324(包括触发器326)上键的启动或触摸面板322上的触摸来激活数据收集子系统350和360或GPS接收机380。除了触摸面板322和键盘224,各种其它数据收集子系统350和360可以被集成到PDT 300中。在图6所示的例子中,示出了两个这样的系统:图像信号生成系统350和RFID读取器单元360。数据采集子系统可以用主CPU 302或辅处理器312、314或316来控制。例如,图像信号生成系统350被示出为由FPGA 312控制。美国专利6947612中示出了FPGA 312的可能配置,通过引用将其结合于本文中。作为另一个例子,RFID读取器单元360被示出为由CPU 302通过系统总线304来控制。
图像信号生成系统350一般包括二维固态图像传感器352(如CCD、CMOS或CID)以用于捕获包含数据的图像(如图像、条码375或签名)。二维固态图像传感器一般具有以包括多行和多列像素的方式形成的多个光传感器图片单元(像素)。图像信号生成系统350进一步包括将图像聚焦到图像传感器352的活性表面上的成像光学器件(未示出)。图像传感器352可以被包含在图像传感器IC芯片上,该芯片上布置了图像传感器控制电路、图像信号调节电路以及模拟到数字转换器。FPGA 312管理图像数据的捕获和图像数据到存储器305n的转移。美国专利6947612中示出了FPGA 312的可能配置,通过引用将其结合于本文中。CPU 302或任意辅处理器312、314和316可以执行解码。
RFID读取器单元360包括RF振荡和接收机电路362以及数据解码器364。RFID读取器单元360可以被配置为从可以布置在物品370上的无源RFID标签(如标签377)读取RF编码数据。此外,例如,RFID读取器单元360可以按照选择性激活模式或按照连续读取操作模式来操作。在选择性激活模式中,RFID读取器单元360广播无线电信号,以试图响应于接收到RFID触发信号而激活其附近的一个或多个标签。在连续读取模式中,RF振荡和接收机电路362连续地广播无线电信号,以试图自动地启动PDT 300附近的一个或多个标签,而不需要接收触发信号。
根据本发明的各方面,PDT 300(例如图像信号生成系统350和RFID读取器单元360)的一个或多个上述组件、控制PDT 300的一个或多个上述组件的软件特征、和/或存储器305n中储存的软件特征根据PDT 300的当前位置而被许可使用。具体来说,当用户希望使用PDT 300的特定硬件和/或软件特征时,CPU 302从GPS接收机380接收PDT 300的当前位置。CPU 302确定当前位置是否对应于属于期望硬件和/或软件特征的授权位置。授权位置可以是一个坐标对,多个坐标对,一个限定区域或多个限定区域。
同样,授权位置可以被嵌入期望硬件和/或软件特征的许可密钥中。从而,CPU 302从许可密钥中提取授权位置,并且如果当前位置对应于所提取的授权位置的话,则启用期望特征。根据其他方面,许可密钥本身可以用授权位置来加密,从而正如上文参考图1和2所描述的那样,如果CPU 302成功地用当前位置解密了许可密钥的话,则CPU 302确定当前位置对应于授权位置。
在本公开中,CPU 302被描述为控制对使用期望特征的授权。但是应该理解的是,根据其他方面,一个或多个辅处理器312、314和316可以针对一个或多个软件和/或硬件特征执行该功能。
如上所述,根据本发明的各方面,可以根据计算设备的当前位置来控制对使用计算设备的软件特征或硬件特征的准许。
本发明的各方面还能实现为计算机可读记录介质上的计算机可读代码。同样,用来实现本发明的代码和代码段可以由本发明所属领域内有经验的编程者很容易地编制。计算机可读记录介质是能够储存数据的任何数据储存装置,这些数据之后由计算机系统或计算机代码处理装置读取。计算机可读记录介质的例子包括只读存储器(ROM)、随机存取存储器(RAM)、CD-ROM、磁带、软盘,以及光数据储存装置。计算机可读记录介质还可以分布在网络耦合的计算机系统上,从而计算机可读代码以分布式方式储存和执行。本发明的各方面还可以被实现为包含于载波中并且包括计算机可读程序并且能够在因特网上传送的数据信号。
虽然已经显示和描述了本发明的一些实施例,但本领域技术人员可以理解的是,可以在不脱离本发明的原理和精神的情况下对该实施例进行改变,本发明的范围定义于权利要求及其等同物中。
