Gateway 30 is a computer system or device that acts as a switch-operative. The gateway 30 behaves as a translator when using different communication protocols, data formats or languages, even between two systems with completely different architectures. Rather than the bridge simply communicating the information, the gateway 30 repackages the received information to accommodate the needs of the system. At the same time, the gateway 30 may also provide filtering and security functions.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first communication module 13 will send to the gateway 30, and the gateway 30 processes the signal, so as to obtain the real-time positioning of the instrument device.

The gateway 30 sends the positioning information to the terminal device 20 so that the user knows the real-time location of the instrument device. Furthermore, if the terminal device 20 cannot receive the positioning information, it may be that the power of the first power supply module 15 is exhausted, resulting in that the first positioning module 11 cannot transmit a signal. At this time, the instrument can be quickly found by the positioning information sent by the second positioning module 34 at the previous time, so that the first power supply module 15 can be replaced. On the other hand, the display module 12 can display the configuration information of the instrument in real time, so that the user of the instrument can conveniently view the configuration information.
