The most widely used method is the global positioning system (10 GPS). Based on the principle of space rendezvous as the basic positioning principle, in open places around the world (that is, outdoor locations of "Air-to-Air"), multiple satellite signals can be received at the same time, within a range of hundreds of kilometers. Achieve accuracy within centimeters. For example, a taxi is equipped with a GPS module and an integrated packet radio service (GPRS) module at the same time. After the GPS module receives the satellite signal and calculates the current position coordinates of the taxi, it will be able to The current position coordinates are transmitted to the base station through the GPRS module, and then transmitted back to the server side of the driving control center of the taxi fleet via the base station, so that the driving control center can accurately grasp the whereabouts of each taxi; or when the user 20 holds the same time When the mobile phone is equipped with GPS and GPRS function, the mobile phone can also transmit its current position coordinates to the server side for the server side to track the user's movements. For example, when the student holds the mobile phone, the parents of the student will be able to Use this to understand where your children are going ... etc. 200528743 Another example is to use a GPS module to receive a satellite signal and calculate the current position coordinates, and then use a map data to perform position or path navigation. However, since GPS must receive satellite signals at a well-received outdoor aerial observing location, it is said that when GPS receivers / vehicles enter buildings or shelters to receive dead spots, Knowing that positioning can hardly be completed, the conventional positioning device has the problem of receiving well only in "outdoors", and once it enters people, the problem of failure. Xizhi has also developed a global mobile communication system = ba ^ tem f〇rm〇blIe delete, coffee ^ = force :: device to achieve indoor positioning purposes, however, because _ 系 二 出 二: Z as the center, and according to the signal The strength (々Μ Strength) is used to calculate the ^ 疋 position result, so the base station can only know that the device is located outside a specific area, but the department still can't know the exact position of the device, leading to the deletion of the positioning coordinates of the ::: The actual position coordinates are quite non-ideal. ~ 15 [Summary of the invention] The main purpose of the party is to provide a positioning device and system, and to produce: ^ Xiao Zhuo satellite m group because of barriers to enter the sheltered area, resulting in poor reception 20 grandfather purpose. 4 Achieve the goal of locating the entire area from the outside to the interior, and according to one of the features of the present invention, the proposed plurality of wireless server devices cooperate, and the aforementioned wireless server devices are placed at each C device and are equipped with servos. The fixed-point position of the device itself is 200528743. The positioning device can obtain the current position coordinate of the positioning device according to the coordinate signal from the wireless server. The positioning device includes a wireless module and a microprocessor. Among them, the wireless core group can receive the fixed-point coordinates transmitted from the wireless server; the micro-office 5 is used to receive the fixed-point coordinates transmitted from the wireless module to calculate the current position coordinates of the positioning device, and— The positioning device of the present invention may further include a communication module, which is capable of transmitting the current position coordinates of the positioning device to a server of a control center to facilitate control center monitoring. 10 or the positioning device of the present invention may further include a satellite positioning module. The satellite positioning module is capable of receiving satellite signals transmitted from a plurality of satellites to calculate the current position coordinates of the positioning device. Based on the information transmitted by the satellite positioning module, the processor determines the receiving status of the satellite positioning module. When it is determined that the receiving status of the satellite positioning module is bad, the microprocessor 15 enables the wireless module, and vice versa , The current position coordinates of the positioning device are obtained according to the information sent by the satellite positioning module. According to another feature of the present invention, a positioning method is proposed, which is applied to the positioning device. The first is to determine the receiving status of the satellite positioning module. When it is determined that the receiving status of the satellite positioning module is not good, the microprocessor 20 will enable the wireless module so that the wireless module receives the wireless server end ^ The fixed-point coordinates are used to calculate the current position coordinates of the positioning device, and finally transmitted through the communication module; otherwise, if it is determined that the receiving status of the satellite positioning module is good, the microprocessor can directly send the data from the satellite positioning device. Satellite signal to calculate the current position coordinates of the positioning device. 200528743 The execution process of the present invention can be completed by a software program, so the present invention can write a program in a computer language and then load it into a computer-readable recording medium. The recording medium may be an IC chip, a hard disk, an optical disk, or other The items of the recorded software program are preferably loaded into a random access memory 5 (RAM), which is easy to update. [Embodiment] The following is a description of a preferred embodiment for letting the Examining Committee member to better understand the present invention for the month b. Gute 10 First, please refer to FIG. 1, which is the basic structure of the present invention. The present invention proposes that a positioning system is formed by combining a plurality of positioning devices 10 and a plurality of wireless servers 20. The aforementioned wireless server 20 is provided At each fixed point, a first wireless module 22 and a third microprocessor 24 are included, and a fixed-portable device mainly includes a second wireless module core and a second 15 processor 14. p The first or second microprocessors 24 and 14 used in this embodiment are a type of microprocessor with a memory function, such as: CP3BT10 of Natio-iconicductor, which can store data or programs. Of course, I can infer that if you use a microprocessor without a memory function, it will need to be equipped with another memory to store the time when the device function is executed. In the positioning system proposed in this embodiment, the relationship between the brain position device of the wireless feeder and the two-way communication through the Bluetooth (bluet .. called protocol. This 'location device') and the wireless server 20, the second and the first- The wireless module 200528743 12'22 is a budding module 'to enable the positioning device] 〇 and the wireless temple server can use the k bud protocol for data transmission, of course, the first and second wireless modules 22 and 12 can also be used Others: wireless local area network (WLAN) module, infrared transmission (IrDA) module, or its equivalent wireless module # generation, as long as the positioning device and wireless feeder Wireless communication is possible. 10 15... The first microprocessor 24 in the line server 20 stores the fixed-point position coordinate PS of the helmet line server 20 itself. When the t-location device can communicate with the wireless transmission area of a certain wireless server 2G and communicate with it, the second wireless module 12 of the positioning device 10 captures no ^ ^% Γ, _ 2 The 1st sec. Transmitted by the first wireless module 22 via the first wireless module 22, and the second microprocessor 14 calculates the current position coordinate PA of the positioning device 10 according to this fixed-point coordinate PS.你 局 ΓΓί 直 # | Take the absolute position of the positioning device 10 corresponding to the fixed-point coordinate ps of the server 2G = the current position coordinate of the positioning device 10 = any calculation program, and the current position coordinate obtained based on this = the value of thick ^, the purpose is only for the sake of 敎The location where the 1G is located is, for example, located in a certain floor of an office building, or in a certain area, etc., rather than a fairly accurate positioning result. And 'if f silk material fine phase coordinates f wireless_group 12 and the first wireless (bluetooth) module 22 two (connectlngt chat) length to calculate the relative distance between the two D = TxS, · 20 200528743 Among them, τ is the connection time of the two wireless modules 12,22, and 8 is the transmission frequency of the two wireless (bluetooth) modules 12,22, and since the speed of the bluetooth devices transmitting data to each other is almost fixed, So we can take the average of 8, which is to use the 2.4 GHz band. So, fixed-point coordinates? After adding 8 to the distance D, 5 can more accurately calculate the current position coordinate PA at a distance D from the fixed-point coordinate pS. In addition, 'the relative distance between the two wireless (bluetooth) modules 12, 22 can also be calculated d · · P〇-P (d) J) = l〇 ~ T 〇xn, 10 Among them, P (d) is the signal strength where the distance between the two devices is ά, P〇 is the signal strength where the distance between the two Bluetooth modules is 丨 meters, and n is the weight value of the signal strength decreasing with distance, Usually based on experience. Therefore, the aforementioned basic structure of the present invention can perform a navigation function with a map database and a path search program. 15 And the positioning device is equipped with a communication module 13. The communication module 13 is used to transmit the current position coordinates PA to the control center server 40 via the base station 30, so that the control center server 40 can master each positioning device. Location, it can perform monitoring functions. The aforementioned communication module 13 is preferably a wireless communication module to enable transmission of 20 information to a control center server 40 through the base station 30 of the same communication system, such as a GPRS module. It can also be a GSM module, a code division multiple access (CDMA) module, or a personal handy phone system (PHS) module, etc. Two-way wireless communication module capable of transmitting and receiving messages 200528743. However, it can also be a one-way message module of the paging system. In addition to the basic architecture described above, the positioning splitting proposed by the other embodiment of the present invention includes a satellite positioning module to subsidize the conventional use of a 5-star positioning device to enter a sheltered area (such as a building, or a tunnel). The problem of poor reception caused by internal, etc. · "Please refer to Fig. 2. In the positioning device 10 proposed in this embodiment, the satellite positioning module is a GPS module U, and the wireless module is A Bluetooth Tooth) module 12, and the communication module is a GpRs module i3. Among them, the 10 satellite positioning module can also be equivalent to other geographic information system (Qingzhong space positioning module) Please refer to the schematic diagram of the implementation environment in FIG. 3. When the positioning device 10 in this embodiment is located in an area where outdoor satellites receive good signals, the GPS module η is used to receive satellite signals from the satellite 50. According to This calculation calculates the current position coordinates of the positioning device 15 10 ′; and when the positioning device 10 enters a building queue, such as an office building, the Gps module u will result in poor reception, so Bluetooth will be started. Module 12 for indoor installation with Pei Bluetooth (wireless) communication servo origin 20 active link, Bluetooth server to retrieve the coordinates of the point "to calculate the positioning means 10, current position coordinates PA. Then, regardless of the current position coordinate PA, which is served by the Gps module when it is located outside, or by the Bluetooth module u when it is located indoors, the gPRS module 13 can be used to pass the current position coordinate PA through The base station 30 is transmitted to the control center server 40 so that the & manufacturing center feeder 40 can grasp the position information of each positioning device. 200528743 Please refer to FIG. 4 together, which details the positioning device 10 of this embodiment. In different receiving environments, the GPS module u or the Bluetooth module 12 is selected to perform the positioning operation process. First, the microprocessor 14 will periodically receive the satellite reception status transmitted by the GPS module H, (step S401), which includes the coordinates, and various 5 parameters, etc., preferably, the microprocessor 14 Receive the receiving status of GPS module 11 in real time, or report the receiving status of GPS module 11 regularly or in real time to inform microprocessor 14, when the current GPS module is judged based on the received parameters 1 When Γ is in a state of poor reception and cannot receive satellite signals (step S402), it means that the positioning device 10 may have entered a sheltered area (for example, entered into the killer 5 of Jian 10). Therefore, the Bluetooth module will be enabled 12, (step S403), and continues to be performed by the GPS module 1 Γ behind the background, and the satellite receiving status is still regularly received. At this time, if the Bluetooth server 20 is installed in the building 5, the Bluetooth module 12 and the Bluetooth server 20 in the positioning device 10 'can detect each other within a short distance to form each other. A micro-network (piconet) connection, so that the Bluetooth 15 module 12 'obtains the fixed-point coordinates ps from the Bluetooth server 20 (step 5404); then, the Bluetooth module 12, The positioning device 10 can be further obtained based on the fixed-point coordinates ps, and the current position coordinates PA located in the room (step
