Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a positioning method according to an exemplary embodiment, where the positioning method is used in a terminal, as shown in fig. 2, and the positioning method includes the following steps:
in step 201, when a first positioning request of a first application is received, it is determined whether terminal location information is cached locally.
When a first positioning request of a first application is received, the first application needs to acquire terminal position information, and at the moment, the terminal judges whether the terminal position information is cached locally. And when the terminal position information is locally cached, executing step 202. When the terminal location information is not cached locally, the terminal is required to perform a positioning operation, wherein a specific implementation process of the terminal performing the positioning operation may be as follows in step 2031 to step 2032, and after the terminal performs the positioning operation, the terminal location information obtained by positioning may be cached locally.
In step 202, when the terminal location information is cached locally, it is determined whether the first application is currently running in the foreground of the terminal, where the first application is any application installed in the terminal, if so, a location operation is performed, and if not, step 203 is performed.
Currently, applications running in a terminal generally include two situations: in one case, the application may be running in the foreground of the terminal, in which case it is stated that the user may be using the application. In another case, the application may also be running in the background of the terminal, and when the application is running in the background of the terminal, it may be determined that the user is not currently using the application.
However, in the second case, although the user does not use the application running in the background of the terminal, the application may continuously trigger the terminal to perform some operations during the background running, for example, the application may frequently trigger the terminal to perform positioning, which results in that the terminal needs to frequently perform positioning operations, and power consumption is increased.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when a first positioning request of any application installed in the terminal is detected, the terminal needs to determine whether the first application is currently in a foreground operation of the terminal, so as to determine whether to execute a positioning operation according to an operation state of the first application. That is, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first application is currently in the foreground operation of the terminal, it indicates that the user is currently using the first application, in this case, in order to ensure that the user can know the position of the terminal in real time, the terminal needs to perform a positioning operation, and its specific implementation process also refers to step 2031 to step 2032, and when the first application is not currently in the foreground operation of the terminal, step 203 is performed.
The implementation process of the terminal determining whether the first application is currently in the foreground operation of the terminal may include: the terminal judges whether the currently displayed interface belongs to the interface of the first application, if the currently displayed interface belongs to the interface of the first application, the first application can be determined to be currently operated in the foreground of the terminal, otherwise, if the currently displayed interface does not belong to the interface of the first application, the first application can be determined not to be currently operated in the foreground of the terminal.
It should be noted that the implementation manner provided above for determining whether the first application is currently in the foreground of the terminal is only an exemplary implementation manner, and in another embodiment, it may also be determined whether the first application is currently in the foreground of the terminal by other manners, which is not limited in this disclosure.
In step 203, when the first application is not currently in the foreground operation of the terminal, the pre-cached terminal location information is obtained from the local.
As described above, when the first application is not currently in the foreground operation of the terminal, it indicates that the user does not use the first application, and in this case, it may be considered that the first application does not need to acquire the terminal location information of the terminal in real time, and therefore, the terminal does not perform the positioning operation but acquires the terminal location information cached in advance from the local.
Therefore, the terminal is cached with the terminal position information in advance. In fact, as described above, the terminal location information may be obtained by the first application through a positioning operation when the first application detects that the terminal location information is not cached locally. Alternatively, the terminal position information may also be obtained by the second application running in the foreground through a positioning operation, which is specifically referred to as the following step 2031 to step 2032:
2031: and when a second positioning request of a second application is received, scanning a wireless network to obtain at least one wireless network identifier, wherein the second application is an application running in the foreground of the terminal.
Wherein each of the at least one wireless network identifier may be configured to uniquely identify a wireless network.
In one possible implementation, the wireless network identifier includes a Media Access Control (MAC) address.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the description is only given by taking the case that the radio network identifier includes the MAC address, and in another embodiment, the radio network identifier may further include other information, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
That is, when the second application is an application running in the foreground of the terminal, it indicates that the user may be using the second application, and therefore, when the terminal detects the second positioning request of the second application running in the foreground of the terminal, the terminal needs to perform a positioning operation to obtain the current terminal position information of the terminal.
Wherein, the terminal can be positioned by scanning wireless network. Since there may be at least one wireless network device near the current location of the terminal, after the terminal performs the scanning operation, at least one wireless network identifier may be acquired.
At present, it should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the positioning is only described by taking a wireless network as an example, and in another embodiment, the positioning may also be performed by other networks, for example, the positioning may also be performed by a GPS (global positioning System) or a beidou System, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
2032: and acquiring the terminal position information based on the at least one wireless network identifier, and caching the terminal position information to the local.
Wherein, based on the at least one wireless network identifier, the implementation process of obtaining the terminal location information may include: and sending the at least one wireless network identifier to a positioning server, so that the positioning server acquires and returns the position information corresponding to the at least one wireless network identifier from the corresponding relationship between the wireless network identifier and the position information which is stored in advance based on the at least one wireless network identifier, receives the position information corresponding to the at least one wireless network identifier from the positioning server, and determines the received position information as the terminal position information.
That is, after the terminal obtains at least one wireless network identifier by scanning a wireless network, the terminal sends the at least one wireless network identifier to the positioning server. As mentioned above, the positioning server may be a server provided by a third party, for example, the positioning server is a hundred-degree map server. The positioning server stores the corresponding relationship between the wireless network identifier and the position information, and in a possible implementation manner, a third party may acquire the corresponding relationship between the wireless network identifier and the position information in a manner of manually acquiring data and the like, and store the corresponding relationship in the positioning server in advance.
For example, in one possible implementation manner, the correspondence between the radio network identifier and the location information stored in the positioning server in advance is shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1
| Wireless network identification | Location information |
| A、B、C | Address 1 |
| E、F、G | Address 2 |
| … | … |
Of course, it should be noted that, here, the correspondence between the wireless network identifier and the location information pre-stored in the location server is shown only by way of example, in another embodiment, the location server may also store the correspondence between the wireless network identifier and the location information in other forms, which is not limited in this disclosure.
After receiving the at least one wireless network identifier sent by the terminal, the positioning server can obtain the position information corresponding to the at least one wireless network identifier from the corresponding relationship between the pre-stored wireless network identifier and the position information. For example, if the at least one wireless network identifier includes A, B and M, the location server may obtain the location information corresponding to A, B and M as "address 1".
And after the positioning server acquires the position information corresponding to the at least one wireless network identifier, the position information is sent to the terminal, so that the terminal can acquire the terminal position information of the current position of the terminal, and the terminal position information acquired by the terminal is sent to the second application.
After the terminal acquires the terminal position information, the terminal position information is cached to the local, so that the terminal position information can be acquired from the local when the first positioning request of the first application is detected.
In addition, it should be further noted that, in the implementation process, when the location server receives at least one wireless network identifier sent by the terminal, the location server may further update the correspondence between the wireless network identifiers stored in the location server and the location information, for example, when the at least one wireless network identifier sent by the terminal includes A, B and M, the location server may update the wireless network identifier corresponding to the address 1 to A, B, C and M, which is not limited in this disclosure.
In step 204, the terminal location information is sent to the first application.
The terminal acquires the terminal position information cached in advance from the local and then sends the terminal position information to the first application, so that the terminal can still send the terminal position information to the first application under the condition that the positioning operation is not executed, and the purpose of positioning is achieved.
It should be noted that, when the first application is not in the foreground operation of the terminal, the pre-cached terminal location information may be sent to the first application through the implementation process, that is, no positioning operation needs to be executed, so that frequent execution of positioning operation by the terminal is avoided, and the purpose of saving power consumption of the terminal is achieved.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the terminal acquires the terminal location information, the at least one wireless network identifier and the terminal location information may also be stored, specifically refer to step 205 as follows.
In step 205, the at least one radio network identifier and the terminal location information are sent to a designated server, which is configured to provide a service for the terminal.
In a possible implementation manner, a passive provider may be registered in the system of the terminal, for example, in an android system, the passive provider is a passive provider (passive provider), and the passive provider may be configured to monitor updating of the terminal location information, that is, when the terminal receives the terminal location information, the passive provider may obtain the terminal location information received by the terminal.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the passive provider obtains the location information of the terminal, the terminal obtains at least one wireless network identifier obtained by the last network scanning from the passive provider, and then sends the location information of the terminal and the at least one wireless network identifier to the designated server. The designated server is configured to provide a service for the terminal, for example, if the terminal is a mobile phone, the designated server may be a server provided by a mobile phone manufacturer and configured to provide a service for the mobile phone.
Correspondingly, after receiving the at least one wireless network identifier and the terminal position information sent by the terminal, the designated server correspondingly stores the at least one wireless network identifier and the terminal position information, so that when the terminal needs to be positioned subsequently, the designated server can send a query request to determine the terminal position information of the terminal.
The terminal position information and the at least one wireless network identifier can be correspondingly stored in the appointed server without manually acquiring data, so that the convenience of operation is improved.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, when a first positioning request of any application installed in a terminal is received, whether the terminal position information is cached locally is judged, when the terminal position information is cached locally, whether the first application is currently in the foreground of the terminal is judged, if the first application is not currently in the foreground of the terminal, it is indicated that a user does not use the first application currently, under the condition, the locally cached terminal position information can be sent to the first application, that is, the positioning operation does not need to be executed, so when a plurality of applications are operated in the background of the terminal, the terminal is prevented from frequently executing the positioning operation, and the consumption of the electric quantity of the terminal is reduced.
