Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Example one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of a positioning method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown.

The positioning method of the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:

step 101: and under the condition that the WIFI module is started based on the auxiliary positioning instruction, closing a transmitting unit of the WIFI module or reducing the transmitting power of the transmitting unit to a preset value.

The WIFI module can be started in various ways, such as manually starting the WIFI module, opening the WIFI module by an APP (Application), and the like, which belong to WIFI independent use scenes, wherein a transmitting unit and a receiving unit of the WIFI module work normally in the scene; after a positioning module of the mobile terminal is opened for positioning, when an auxiliary positioning function of the WIFI module is started, the scene belongs to a working scene of the WIFI auxiliary positioning module, and at the moment, the method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention is executed to control the transmitting power of a transmitting unit of the WIFI module or close the transmitting unit.

The positioning method is applied to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal comprises the WIFI module and the processor, and the processor controls the WIFI module to be turned on or turned off. The WIFI module comprises a transmitting unit and a receiving unit. In the embodiment of the invention, the receiving unit of the WIFI module is controlled to work according to the normal receiving power, the transmitting unit of the WIFI module is turned off or the transmitting power of the WIFI module is reduced to the preset value, so that the power consumption of the transmitting unit of the WIFI module can be effectively saved, and the overall power consumption of the WIFI module is reduced.

The preset value can be set by a person skilled in the art according to actual needs, and is preferably set to be 0, so that power consumption of the transmitting unit of the WIFI module can be saved to the greatest extent.

Step 102: and calling the WIFI module to acquire the MAC address reported by at least one AP.

Since the receiving unit of the WIFI module normally operates, the WIFI module can obtain a Media Access Control (MAC) address reported by the AP.

The MAC address is also called a hardware address, has a length of 48 bits, is composed of 16-ary digits, and is divided into first 24 bits and second 24 bits, the first 24 bits are called OUI (organization Unique Identifier), and are codes assigned to different manufacturers by a registration management organization of IEEE, thereby distinguishing different manufacturers. The last 24 bits are called extension identifiers distributed by manufacturers, the last 24 bits of the MAC address in the network card produced by the same manufacturer are different, and the MAC address has global uniqueness.

Once the router acquires the MAC address of the AP, the router may lock a specific AP router due to the uniqueness of the MAC address, where each AP router corresponds to a first location.

Step 103: and calling a preset module to determine first position information corresponding to each MAC address.

The power consumption of the preset module is lower than that of the transmitting unit of the WIFI module, so that compared with the prior art in which the first position information corresponding to each MAC address is determined by the transmitting unit of the WIFI module, the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be saved.

Step 104: and positioning the mobile terminal according to the first position information.

In a specific implementation process, the target position of the mobile terminal can be determined only according to the first position information to complete positioning; the first position information can also be used as auxiliary positioning information, and the auxiliary positioning information is integrated with positioning information acquired by a positioning module in the mobile terminal to determine the target position of the mobile terminal to complete positioning.

According to the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the WIFI wireless fidelity module is started based on the auxiliary positioning instruction, the transmitting unit of the WIFI module is closed or the transmitting power of the transmitting unit is reduced to a preset value; calling a WIFI module to obtain an MAC media access control address reported by at least one AP access point; calling a preset module to determine first position information corresponding to each MAC address, wherein the power consumption of the preset module is lower than that of a transmitting unit; according to the first position information, the mobile terminal is positioned, and compared with a method that the MAC address of the AP and the first position information corresponding to the MAC address are acquired by the WIFI module, the total electric quantity consumed in the positioning process can be reduced, and the duration of the mobile terminal is prolonged.

Example two

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating steps of a positioning method according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown.

step 201: and under the condition that the WIFI module is started based on the auxiliary positioning instruction, closing a transmitting unit of the WIFI module or reducing the transmitting power of the transmitting unit to a preset value.

The positioning method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for a scene that a WIFI module assists a positioning module in a mobile terminal to position the mobile terminal, wherein the positioning module can be a GPS. Through experimental statistics, the power consumption of the GPS during independent work is only 20.88mW, and the power consumption of the WIFI module during normal work is 446.4mW, namely, the power consumption of the mobile terminal is greatly consumed when the WIFI module is used for receiving and transmitting auxiliary positioning related data. In order to save the power consumption of the mobile terminal, when the positioning method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention is adopted and the WIFI module assists the positioning system to perform positioning, the WIFI module only receives the MAC address reported by each AP.

Step 202: and calling the WIFI module to acquire the MAC address reported by at least one AP.

According to the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the mobile terminal and the AP can acquire the MAC address of the AP only through one-time handshake, the information is received only through the receiving unit of the WIFI module when the MAC address of the AP is acquired, and the first position information corresponding to each MAC address is inquired through other low-power consumption preset modules on the mobile terminal without using the transmitting unit of the WIFI module. The low power consumption preset module may include, but is not limited to: a bluetooth module and an LTE (Long Term Evolution) module.

Step 203: and calling the Bluetooth module to send each MAC address to the target terminal.

The target terminal is a terminal which is connected with the mobile terminal through Bluetooth.

Because the Bluetooth connection is established between the target terminal and the mobile terminal, the Bluetooth module of the mobile terminal can transmit each MAC address to the target terminal through Bluetooth, and the target terminal determines first position information corresponding to each MAC address.

It should be noted that the target terminal may establish a data connection relationship with the mobile terminal through other connection methods such as infrared or ultrasonic wave, in addition to the data connection relationship with the mobile terminal through bluetooth, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Because the target terminal determines the first position information corresponding to each MAC address, the power consumption of the mobile terminal for determining the first position information corresponding to each MAC address can be saved.

Step 204: and receiving first position information corresponding to each MAC address returned by the target terminal through a Bluetooth module.

And after the target terminal determines the first position information corresponding to each MAC address, the target terminal sends the determined first position information to the mobile terminal through the Bluetooth connection between the target terminal and the mobile terminal.

Steps 203 to 204 are manners of determining the first location information corresponding to each MAC address through a bluetooth module disposed in the mobile terminal, which is not limited to this in the specific implementation process, and may also call an LTE module disposed in the mobile terminal to determine the first location information corresponding to the MAC address.

Step 205: and determining the target position of the mobile terminal according to the first position information and the second position information acquired by the positioning module.

The positioning module can be a GPS in the mobile terminal, and each first position information is auxiliary positioning information of the WIFI module.

According to the auxiliary positioning information of the WIFI module and the specific mode that the positioning module acquires the positioning information to determine the target position information of the mobile terminal, the method and the device for determining the target position information of the mobile terminal can refer to related technologies, and the embodiment of the invention is not particularly limited.

According to the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, under the condition that the WIFI module is started based on the auxiliary positioning instruction, the transmitting unit of the WIFI module is closed or the transmitting power of the transmitting unit is reduced to a preset value; calling a WIFI module to obtain an MAC address reported by at least one AP; and the Bluetooth module is called to send each determined MAC address to the target terminal, the target terminal determines first position information corresponding to each MAC address and then returns the first position information to the mobile terminal, and compared with a method that the MAC address of the AP and the first position information corresponding to the MAC address are both obtained by a WIFI module arranged in the mobile terminal, the total electric quantity consumed in the positioning process can be reduced, the electric quantity of the mobile terminal is saved, and the duration of the mobile terminal is prolonged.
