Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the described embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention, and all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments" which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and may be combined with each other without conflict.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present invention only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
Before further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, terms and expressions mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention are explained, and the terms and expressions mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention are applied to the following explanations.
1) An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a uniform address format allocated to a user for accessing the Internet, and is also called a logical address; on the internet, each host of each network is allocated an IP address, so as to mask the difference of physical addresses.
2) A MAC (Media Access Control) Address, also called a local area network Address, an Ethernet Address, or a Physical Address, is an Address for confirming the location of a network device; in the seven-layer model, a third layer network layer is responsible for IP addresses, and a second layer data link layer is responsible for MAC addresses; usually, a network card is uniquely identified in a network through an MAC address, and if one device has one or more network cards, each network card needs to have a unique MAC address, which is also called a physical address or a hardware address; the MAC address is written inside the hardware when the MAC address is produced by the network device manufacturer. In addition, the IP address is different from the MAC address in that the IP address is logically based, flexible, and not limited by hardware. MAC addresses, to some extent, are consistent with hardware, are physically based, and can identify specific network nodes.
3) ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) that acquires a physical Address according to an IP. The physical address of the target device is typically determined by the sending host broadcasting an ARP request containing the IP address of the target device to all hosts on the local network when sending the information and receiving a return message.
4) A local area network refers to a group of computers interconnected by a plurality of computers in a region.
5) Wide area networks refer to remote networks connecting computers communicating over local or metropolitan area networks in different regions.
6) An AP (Access Point) refers to a bridge for connecting a wireless network and a wired network, and a wireless switch for the wireless network is an Access Point for a mobile computer to enter the wired network.
Generally, in order to determine the location information of a device to be located, the location information of various devices is recorded manually, so that when the current location information of the target device needs to be determined, the current location information of the target device is determined through a manually recorded document. However, in the above process of determining the current positioning information of the target object, a manual method is adopted, and the intelligence and accuracy of the device positioning are poor.
In addition, in order to determine the positioning information of the device to be positioned, the positioning information is usually realized by borrowing third-party devices. For example, a mobile phone (device to be located) is bound with a third-party device, a call request (call) is sent to the mobile phone through the third-party device, and the mobile phone rings or vibrates after receiving the call request, so as to determine the location of the mobile phone according to the ring or the vibration. However, in the above solution for positioning a device to be positioned, when the mobile phone is in a power-off state or in a static state or at a long distance, the mobile phone cannot receive a call request or cannot ring/vibrate or cannot hear the call request; therefore, the mobile phone cannot be located at this time, and the versatility of device location is low.
In addition, in order to determine the positioning information of the device to be positioned, the positioning information of the device to be positioned can be determined through a remote control function, namely, the remote control function of the device to be positioned is started, so that the device to be positioned is tracked and controlled by the remote control function, and at the moment, the positioning information of the device to be positioned is obtained. However, in the above solution for positioning a device to be positioned, since the remote control function is not a general function of the device to be positioned, the positioning method cannot be applied to any device to be positioned, and thus the universality of the device positioning is low.
Based on this, the embodiment of the invention provides an equipment positioning method and equipment, which can automatically position equipment in real time, improve the intelligence and accuracy of equipment positioning, and have universality. The following describes exemplary applications of the positioning device and the device to be positioned provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the query device, the positioning device, and the device to be positioned provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as various types of user terminals such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, and a notebook computer, and may also be implemented as a server.

Next, description will be made with reference to the steps shown in fig. 5.
S101, when the inquiry equipment receives an equipment positioning instruction aiming at the target equipment to be positioned, generating an equipment positioning request according to the equipment positioning instruction; the device positioning request is used for determining the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned.
In the embodiment of the invention, the query device provides a query interface for querying the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned for a user, and when the user performs positioning operation on the target device to be positioned through the query interface for querying the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned, the query device also receives a device positioning instruction aiming at the target device to be positioned. Next, since the device positioning instruction is used to instruct the querying device to query the current positioning information of the device to be positioned, at this time, the querying device generates a request, that is, a device positioning request, for determining the current positioning information of the device to be positioned according to the instruction of the device positioning instruction, so as to obtain the current positioning information of the device to be positioned from the positioning device through the device positioning request. Here, the positioning information refers to orientation information of any dimension of the device, such as geographical location information, user information, and the like.
It should be noted that the query interface for querying the current location information of the target device to be located may be a device location function operating in a device management system of the query device; for example, FIG. 6 shows an input box 6-11 and query identification 6-12 in query page 6-1; as another example, FIG. 7 shows a refresh button 7-11 in the playlist page 7-1.
The positioning operation is specific to the target equipment to be positioned and is used for triggering the positioning of the target equipment to be positioned, and the target equipment to be positioned refers to an object to be positioned; for example, the operation of inputting a keyword into the input box 6-11 of fig. 6 and clicking the query identifier 6-12, where the target device to be located refers to the input keyword; as another example, in FIG. 7, the operation of clicking the refresh button 7-11 refers to the device corresponding to the location list page 7-1 in FIG. 7.
It should be further noted that the device positioning instruction may also be a periodically generated instruction that is set by the query device, so that the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned can be periodically obtained.
S102, the inquiry equipment sends the equipment positioning request to the positioning equipment, so that the positioning equipment can acquire the current positioning information of the target equipment to be positioned according to the equipment positioning request.
In the embodiment of the invention, the positioning equipment has the function of acquiring the current positioning information of each equipment to be positioned in the local area network, and the target equipment to be positioned belongs to each equipment to be positioned; therefore, after the query device obtains the device location request for determining the current location information of the target device to be located, the query device sends the device location request to the positioning device, so as to obtain the current location information of the target device to be located through the positioning device.
Accordingly, after the querying device completes S102, that is, after the querying device sends the device location request to the positioning device, the positioning device also receives the device location request sent by the querying device.
S103, the positioning equipment responds to the equipment positioning request, generates a positioning broadcast request and broadcasts the positioning broadcast request to the equipment to be positioned in the equipment set to be positioned; the positioning broadcast request is used for acquiring the current positioning information of the equipment to be positioned in the equipment set to be positioned.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the positioning device obtains the device positioning request, when determining the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned in response to the device positioning request, the positioning device obtains the current positioning information by communicating with each device to be positioned that is interconnected with the positioning device, and a set formed by the devices to be positioned that are interconnected with the positioning device is a preset device set. Therefore, the positioning device generates a request for communicating with the set of devices to be positioned, i.e. a positioning broadcast request (such as an ARP request), according to the device positioning request, and broadcasts the positioning broadcast request to each device to be positioned in the set of devices to be positioned; in addition, the positioning broadcast request is used for acquiring the current positioning information of each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned, and the device set to be positioned comprises the target device to be positioned.
Correspondingly, after the positioning device has executed S103, that is, after the positioning device broadcasts the positioning broadcast request to the devices to be positioned in the set of devices to be positioned, at this time, the device to be positioned also receives the positioning broadcast request broadcast by the positioning device.
It should be noted that, when the positioning device broadcasts a positioning broadcast request to each device to be positioned in the set of devices to be positioned, each device to be positioned in the set of devices to be positioned also obtains the positioning broadcast request; and because the device set to be positioned comprises the target device to be positioned, the target device to be positioned can also receive the positioning broadcast request as an element of the device set to be positioned.
It should be noted that, before the positioning device broadcasts the positioning broadcast request to the devices to be positioned in the device set to be positioned, each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned is accessed to the local area network, and the network address accessed to the local area network is registered on the positioning device; therefore, the positioning equipment can broadcast the positioning broadcast request to the equipment to be positioned in the equipment set to be positioned according to the registered network address. Therefore, the management of each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned can be realized only through registration, manual recording is avoided, and the workload of searching the device and unnecessary inquiry of a user are reduced.
S104, the equipment to be positioned responds to the positioning broadcast request to acquire the current positioning information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning broadcast request is a request broadcasted by the positioning device and used for acquiring the current positioning information of each device to be positioned in the set of devices to be positioned, so that each device to be positioned responds to the positioning broadcast request after obtaining the positioning broadcast request, so as to acquire the current positioning information of itself.
It should be noted that a positioning information obtaining function, for example, auxiliary software, is provided in the device to be positioned; the positioning information acquiring function can acquire the current positioning information of the positioning information acquiring function according to the received positioning broadcast request.
S105, the equipment to be positioned sends the current positioning information to the positioning equipment, so that the positioning equipment determines target current positioning information corresponding to the equipment to be positioned according to the current positioning information, and the positioning equipment displays the target current positioning information through the query equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the current positioning information is obtained by the device to be positioned in response to the positioning broadcast request for obtaining the current positioning information of the device to be positioned, and the positioning broadcast request is sent by the positioning device, after the device to be positioned obtains the current positioning information, the current positioning information needs to be sent to the positioning device to complete the response to the positioning broadcast request.
It should be noted that the device to be positioned sends the current positioning information to the positioning device, and the function is to enable the positioning device to determine, according to the current positioning information, target current positioning information corresponding to the target device to be positioned, and enable the positioning device to display the target current positioning information through the query device.
Correspondingly, after the devices to be positioned execute S105, that is, after each device to be positioned sends the corresponding current positioning information to the positioning device, at this time, the positioning device also receives a set formed by the current positioning information corresponding to the devices to be positioned in the device set to be positioned returned for the positioning broadcast request, that is, a current positioning information set.
S106, the positioning equipment determines target current positioning information corresponding to the equipment to be positioned in the target from the current positioning information set, and sends the target current positioning information to the query equipment to be displayed through the query equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the current positioning information set includes the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned, which is sent to the positioning device by the target device to be positioned, after the positioning device obtains the current positioning information set, the positioning device can obtain the current positioning information corresponding to the target device to be positioned, that is, the target current positioning information, from the current positioning information set. Next, since the target current positioning information is the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned, and the target current positioning information is obtained by the positioning device in response to the device positioning request, which is sent by the querying device and used for determining the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned, the positioning device sends the target current positioning information to the querying device to complete the response to the device positioning request.
Accordingly, after the positioning device has finished executing S106, that is, after the positioning device sends the target current positioning information to the querying device, at this time, the querying device also receives the target current positioning information returned in response to the device positioning request.
S107, the query equipment displays the current positioning information of the target, and positioning of the equipment to be positioned of the target is completed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the target current positioning information refers to the current positioning information of the target equipment to be positioned, and is obtained according to the equipment positioning instruction for indicating the query equipment to query the current positioning information of the target equipment to be positioned; therefore, after the query device obtains the current positioning information of the target, the query device displays the current positioning information of the target, and also displays a query result for querying the current positioning information of the device to be positioned of the target, thereby completing the positioning of the device to be positioned of the target.
It can be understood that, by using the query device, the positioning device is triggered to send the current positioning information to the positioning device according to the positioning broadcast request by broadcasting the positioning broadcast request to each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned; at this moment, the positioning device also obtains the current positioning information of each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned, so that the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned can be determined from the set formed by the current positioning information of each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned, a scheme for accurately, intelligently and real-timely obtaining the positioning information of the device to be positioned is realized, and the device positioning effect is improved. In addition, through interaction of the query equipment, the positioning equipment and each equipment to be positioned, management of each equipment to be positioned is achieved, and therefore the efficiency of equipment positioning is improved.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, S104 further includes S108; that is to say, before the device to be located responds to the location broadcast request and acquires the current location information, the device location method further includes step S108, which is described below.
S108, when the equipment to be positioned acquires the information of the circulation object, the information of the circulation object is stored locally; the circulation object information is information of an object of the current circulation, and the circulation object information includes: the circulation object and/or the circulation object contact way.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the device to be positioned detects that there is a positioning input instruction in the positioning acquisition function (for example, as shown in fig. 8, when a user inputs/modifies basic information such as a name and a contact information of the user through an information input/modification page 8-111 provided by auxiliary software 8-11 installed on the device to be positioned 8-1), the circulation object information is also obtained from the positioning input instruction; at this time, the equipment to be positioned stores the circulation object information to the local.
It should be noted that the positioning input instruction is generated by the device to be positioned responding to the operation of inputting/modifying the self basic information of the stream object; the equipment to be positioned is associated with the circulation object, when the equipment to be positioned circulates, the circulation object is also replaced, and at the moment, the circulation object can input basic information such as own name and contact way into the equipment to be positioned. In addition, the flow object information is information of an object of a current flow, and the flow object information includes: the method comprises the steps of circulating an object and/or a communication mode of the circulating object, wherein the circulating object refers to an object currently circulated by equipment to be positioned, such as a current user of the equipment to be positioned; the contact information of the object to be positioned refers to the contact information of the object to be positioned currently flowing, for example, the mobile phone number of the current user of the device to be positioned.
Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the invention, S104 can be realized through S1041-S1042; that is, the device to be positioned responds to the positioning broadcast request, and acquires the current positioning information, including S1041-S1042, which will be described below with reference to each step.
S1041, responding to the positioning broadcast request by the equipment to be positioned, acquiring the information of the circulation object from the local, and acquiring the current position information; the current position information is information associated with a current position.
In the embodiment of the invention, the information of the current circulating object of the current preset equipment, namely the circulating object information, is locally stored in the equipment to be positioned, and the circulating object information belongs to the current positioning information; therefore, when the device to be positioned responds to the positioning broadcast request to acquire the current positioning information, the device to be positioned acquires the information of the streaming object from the local.
In addition, because the information associated with the current position of the equipment to be positioned, namely the current position information, belongs to the current positioning information, the equipment to be positioned can also acquire the current position information when responding to the positioning broadcast request to acquire the current positioning information; here, the current location information may be real-time location information obtained by the device to be located through a location obtaining module, for example, location information obtained through a Global Positioning System (GPS); information obtained by the equipment to be positioned for determining the position of the equipment to be positioned can also be information obtained by the equipment to be positioned, such as Wi-Fi sites and Wi-Fi signal strength; and the like, which are not particularly limited by the embodiments of the present invention.
S1042, the equipment to be positioned takes the information of the circulation object and/or the current position information as the current positioning information.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the equipment to be positioned obtains the circulation object information and the current position information, the circulation object information and/or the current position information are/is used as the current positioning information.
Correspondingly, the current positioning information sent by each device to be positioned to the positioning device includes: transferring object information and/or current position information, wherein the target equipment to be positioned belongs to an equipment set to be positioned formed by each equipment to be positioned; therefore, the target current positioning information as the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned includes: the target information is information of a current object to be positioned of the target equipment to be positioned, namely the target information is information of a current object to be positioned of the target equipment to be positioned; the target current position information is the current position information of the equipment to be positioned, that is, the target current position information is the current position information determined according to the current position information of the equipment to be positioned. In addition, the target streaming object information includes: the target circulation object refers to the object currently circulated by the equipment to be positioned, and the target circulation object contact mode refers to the contact mode of the object currently circulated by the equipment to be positioned.
Correspondingly, the target current positioning information corresponding to the target device to be positioned, which is obtained by the positioning device, includes: target circulation object information and/or target current position information, and the target circulation object information includes: the method comprises the steps of transferring an object and/or a contact way of the transferring object; therefore, the target current location information sent by the location device and obtained by the querying device also includes: target circulation object information and/or target current position information, and the target circulation object information includes: the target circulation object and/or the contact way of the target circulation object. In this way, the query device displays the current target positioning information, which is at least one of the target circulation object, the contact information of the target circulation object and the current target position information.
It can be understood that, because the query device displays at least one of the target circulation object, the target circulation object contact way and the target current position information of the target device to be positioned through interaction with the positioning device and the device set to be positioned, the target device to be positioned can be positioned, and then the target device to be positioned can be quickly taken, thereby realizing effective management of the device to be positioned.
Further, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating yet another alternative interaction flow of the device location method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 9, after the location device receives the current location information set returned for the location broadcast request, the device location method further includes S109, and the following description is made with reference to the steps shown in fig. 9.
S109, updating a preset positioning information base by the positioning equipment according to the current positioning information set; the preset positioning information base is used for storing historical positioning information corresponding to the devices to be positioned in the device set to be positioned respectively.
In the embodiment of the invention, historical positioning information, namely a preset positioning information base, corresponding to each device to be positioned in a device set to be positioned is stored in the positioning device; each piece of current positioning information in the current positioning information set received by the positioning device further includes hardware information (such as a name and a Mac address of the device to be positioned) of the device to be positioned, so that the positioning device information can determine the uniqueness of the device to be positioned according to the hardware information, and the obtained current positioning information set is classified and stored in information corresponding to each device to be positioned in a preset positioning information base. Here, the historical positioning information refers to a set of positioning information in a current previous time period, such as: current position information or last position information, previous position information, and the like.
It will be appreciated that the pre-defined location information base provides the possibility for the querying device to provide the user with an online profile of the location information of the device to be located.
Accordingly, with continued reference to fig. 9, in the embodiment of the present invention, after S109, S110-S114 are further included, which is described below in conjunction with the steps shown in fig. 9.
S110, when the query equipment receives an equipment flow query instruction aiming at the target equipment to be positioned, generating an equipment flow query request according to the equipment flow query instruction; the device circulation query request is used for determining circulation information of the target device to be positioned.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the query device provides a query interface for querying the flow information (for example, the flow record) of the target device to be positioned for the user, and when the user performs a query operation on the target device to be positioned through the query interface for querying the flow information of the target device to be positioned, the query device receives a device flow query instruction for the target device to be positioned. Next, the device circulation query instruction is used for instructing the query device to query circulation information of the target device to be positioned, so at this time, the query device generates a request for determining circulation information of the target device to be positioned, that is, a device circulation query request, according to the instruction of the device circulation query instruction, so as to obtain the circulation information of the target device to be positioned from the positioning device through the device positioning request.
It should be noted that the query interface for querying the circulation information of the target device to be located may be a device circulation query function operating in a device management system of the query device; for example, FIG. 10 shows an input box 10-11 and query identification 10-12 in the flow records list page 10-1.
The query operation is specific to the target equipment to be positioned and is used for triggering query of circulation information of the target equipment to be positioned; for example, the operation of inputting a keyword, i.e., a target device to be located, and the operation of clicking on the query identifier 10-12 in the input box 10-11 of fig. 10.
And S111, the query equipment sends the equipment circulation query request to the positioning equipment, so that the positioning equipment acquires circulation information of the target equipment to be positioned according to the equipment circulation query request.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning device includes a database, i.e., an updated preset positioning database, for storing the historical positioning information of each device to be positioned in the device set to be positioned, and the device flow query request is used to request to obtain the flow information of the target device to be positioned, which is substantially to request to obtain the historical positioning information of the target device to be positioned; therefore, the query device sends the device circulation query request to the positioning device, so that the positioning device obtains circulation information of the target device to be positioned from the updated preset positioning database according to the device circulation query request.
Correspondingly, after the query device has finished executing S111, that is, after the query device sends the device flow query request to the positioning device, at this time, the positioning device also receives the device flow query request sent by the query device.
And S112, the positioning equipment responds to the equipment circulation query request, and at least one piece of positioning information corresponding to the target equipment to be positioned is acquired from the updated preset positioning information base to obtain equipment circulation information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the positioning device obtains the device circulation query request, since the updated preset positioning information base of the positioning device stores the historical positioning information of each device to be positioned, the device circulation query request is used for requesting to obtain circulation information of the target device to be positioned, that is, the historical positioning information of the target device to be positioned, and the historical positioning information includes corresponding positioning information at different times; therefore, the positioning device can acquire at least one piece of positioning information corresponding to the target device to be positioned from the updated preset positioning information base, and at the moment, the device circulation information is acquired.
S113, the positioning device sends the device circulation information to the query device, and the device circulation information is displayed through the query device.
It should be noted that, the positioning device obtains the device flow information in order to respond to the device flow query request, and the device flow query request is sent to the positioning device by the query device; therefore, after the positioning device obtains the device circulation information, the device circulation information is sent to the query device, so that the device circulation information is displayed through the query device, and the response to the device circulation query request is also completed.
Accordingly, after the positioning device has finished executing S113, that is, after the positioning device transmits the device flow information to the query device, at this time, the query device also receives the device flow information returned in response to the device flow query request.
S114, the query equipment displays the equipment circulation information and completes the query of the circulation information of the target equipment to be positioned.
In the embodiment of the invention, the device circulation information refers to the circulation information of the target device to be positioned, and is obtained according to the device circulation query instruction for instructing the query device to query the circulation information of the target device to be positioned; therefore, after the query device obtains the device circulation information, the device circulation information is displayed, and a query result for querying the circulation information of the target device to be positioned is also displayed, so that the query of the circulation information of the target device to be positioned is also completed.
It should be noted that, the query device provides an asset management function application to the user, that is, the device management system, such as the asset management APP running on the query device, implements the positioning of the target device to be positioned and query of the flow information through the asset management function application; the query interface for querying the current positioning information of the target device to be positioned and the query interface for querying the circulation information of the target device to be positioned are both provided by the asset management function application.
The method comprises the steps that by utilizing query equipment, the positioning equipment is triggered to acquire the circulation information of the target equipment to be positioned from a database of the positioning equipment, and the circulation information of the target equipment to be positioned is returned to the query equipment to be displayed; therefore, the management and the positioning of the equipment to be positioned at the target can be quickly realized through the displayed circulation information of the equipment to be positioned at the target. For example, the current position or the last position of the target device to be positioned can be obtained from the circulation information of the target device to be positioned, so that the target device to be positioned can be positioned according to the current position or the last position
Further, when the target current positioning information includes the target current location information, in S106 in the embodiment of the present invention, the positioning device determines the target current positioning information corresponding to the target device to be positioned from the current positioning information set, which may be implemented through S1061-S1063, and the following description is provided with reference to each step.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the initial current positioning information refers to information associated with the location of the target device to be positioned, the location information of the target device to be positioned needs to be determined according to the information associated with the location of the target device to be positioned.
It should be noted that the initial current positioning information includes signal emission point position information and current signal strength (information associated with the position of the target device to be positioned), so that the positioning device can obtain the signal emission point position information and the current signal strength from the initial current positioning information; here, the signal transmitting point position is position information of a transmitting point of a signal currently received by the target device to be positioned, for example, a position of a Wi-Fi AP; the current signal strength is strength information of a signal currently received by the target device to be positioned, such as Wi-Fi signal strength.
And S1063, determining the current position information of the target by the positioning equipment according to the current signal strength by taking the position information of the signal transmitting point as a reference, thereby obtaining the current target positioning information of the target to-be-positioned equipment.
It should be noted that, since the farther the position information of the signal transmitting point is from, the signal strength is weaker, after the positioning device obtains the position information of the signal transmitting point and the current signal strength, the current position information of the target can be determined based on the position information of the signal transmitting point and according to the current signal strength, so that the current target positioning information of the target to-be-positioned device is obtained. Thus, the process of determining the accurate position according to the positioning information is realized.
It can be understood that, because each device to be positioned is in the local area network, that is, each device to be positioned is connected to the local area network, even if the device to be positioned does not have a position positioning function, the device to be positioned can be positioned according to the situation of connecting the local area network, such as Wi-Fi signal strength, and the universality is high.
