Description

Be used to provide the positioning service of triggered location request service that system and method is provided
Technical field
The present invention relates to positioning service system and method thereof are provided, more particularly, the positioning service that is used to provide the triggered location request to serve (triggered location request service) is provided provides system and method.
Background technology
Along with the increase of demand, used the location of portable terminal that various positioning services are provided, and realized positioning service is expanded to the exploitation of portable terminal various location related services based on the location.Further, the basis that is expanded into the communication service of the 4th generation of expectation positioning service.
In recent years, provide triggered location request service as positioning service.In triggered location request service, periodicity or aperiodicity ground double counting target terminal position value.If the target terminal position value satisfies predetermined condition, the fact that corresponding incident then will take place offers secure user plane location agency (secure user plane location agent).
Exhibition Fig. 1 is explained conventional trigger Location Request service providing method.Fig. 1 is the flow chart that is used to describe conventional trigger Location Request service providing method.With reference to Fig. 1, security plane location agency (below be called " SUPLAGENT ") 104 uses positioning reporting request (MLP TLRR) that the running fix agreement triggers from original position (home) SUPL locating platform (H-SLP) 100 request triggered location requests services in step 106.
Subsequently, when H-SLP 100 when SUPL AGENT 104 receives MLP TLRR message, it advances to step 108, and judges the routing iinformation of target terminal 102.That is to say that H-SLP 100 judges whether target terminal 102 is being roamed and whether target terminal 102 uses SUPL.
According to the judged result of the routing iinformation of target terminal, H-SLP 100 advances to step 110, and initial (INIT) message (initial alignment service request information) of SUPL is sent to target terminal 102.Here, SUPL INIT message comprise SESSION_ID (it is the ID that is used to distinguish the message of H-SLP 100 and target terminal 102), indication localization method localization method (POSMETHOD), trigger the generation of type indicator, acting server (proxy) and the incident of indication or the non-acting server mode indicators of the Rule of judgment that do not take place.In addition, SUPL INIT message comprises the alignment quality (QoP) of the measurement grade of the locating information that indication is asked.
And, when target terminal 102 when H-SLP 100 receives SUPL INIT message, target terminal 102 advances to step 112, and whether definite H-SLP 100 is in the acting server pattern.Target terminal 102 is connected to the data network such as packet data network or Circuit Switching Data Network network according to the check result of acting server pattern.
When target terminal 102 was connected to H-SLP 100 by data network, it was sent to H-SLP 100 in the SUPL TRIGGERRED START message that step 114 will be used to begin triggered location request service.Here, SUPL TRIGGERED START message comprises the hash (ver) and the position identifiers (ID) of SEEION_ID, (terminal that SUPL enables) SET ability, received SUPL INIT message.SESSION_ID is the identifier that is used to distinguish the message between H-SLP 100 and the target terminal 102.SET ability indication stationkeeping ability.Here, the SET ability comprises POSMETHOD information, promptly, about the auxiliary A-GPS (agps system) of SET or based on the information of the A-GPS of SET, about controlling (RRC) or telecommunications industry association (Telecommunication Industry Association, TIA)-801 information of and so on the location protocol that is associated such as radio resource location services protocol (RRLP), radio resource.Fig. 2 is the view that the example of POSMETHOD information is shown.
When H-SLP 100 received SUPL TRIGGERED START message, it compared location survey ability and included information in the SET of target terminal 102 ability, and determines any suitable localization method according to the result of this comparison.And H-SLP 100 advances to step 116, and will comprise that the SUP TRIGGERED RESPONSET message (triggered location request service response message) about the information of determined localization method is sent to target terminal 102.Subsequently, H-SLP 100 advances to step 118, and the positioning reporting that uses the running fix agreement to trigger obtains (MLP TLRA) notice SUPLAGENT 104 and received request to triggered location request service.Then, H-SLP100 transmits REQ_ID with as transaction id, carries out triggered location request service simultaneously.Therefore, H-SLP100 can stop the current data network with target terminal 102 and is connected.
Therefore, target terminal 102 advances to step 120, and judges whether the transmission condition of locating information satisfies.Subsequently, when information transmission condition satisfies, once more target terminal 102 is connected to data network, and target terminal 102 transmits locating information report message (SUPL POS REPORT message) in step 122.Here, SUPL POS REPORT message comprises SESSION_ID and position identifiers (LID).Therefore, H-SLP 100 and target terminal 102 advance to step 124, and calculate the position of target terminal 102.H-SLP 100 and target terminal 102 are according to the locating information of target terminal 102 and whether satisfy set QoP according to LID included in the SUPLPOS REPORT message and advance to step 124, and calculate the position of target terminal 102 by predetermined localization method.
When calculating the position of target 102, H-SLP 100 advances to step 126, and positioning reporting (MLP TLREP) message of using the running fix agreement to trigger is given SUPL AGENT 104 with the position message of target terminal 102.Subsequently, when the executive condition of the triggered location request service of being asked as SUP AGENT 104 satisfies, for example, target terminal 102 arrives ad-hoc location or the set positioning service time of implementation has stopped, and then H-SLP 100 and target terminal 102 stop triggered location request service.
Therefore, in conventional trigger Location Request service providing method, judge the generation of the incident that request for location services person's (that is, SUPL AGENT 104) is asked according to the condition that is provided with, and repeat reporting event generation result's process.Therefore, in conventional trigger Location Request service providing method, when H-SLP 100 when the beginning step is once selected any one in the included localization method from the SET ability of SUPL TRIGGERED START message, by reusing identical localization method obtains target terminal 102 till triggered location request end of service position.
In conventional method, only serve immediately in (immediate service) and obtain the position once in tradition.Yet, under the situation of triggered location request service, should be in the long period such as 24 hours or 72 hours calculating location periodically.This has changed the situation of target terminal.For example, when target terminal 102 uses global positioning system (GPS) to obtain the position, it can be moved to the position that does not receive gps signal.Otherwise when target terminal 102 uses range information such as the time of advent poor (TDOA) from cellular basestation (BS) when obtaining the position, its reception is less than the range information of 4 neighbor cells, and becomes the state that can not use the TDOA pattern.
Therefore, in this case, in the conventional trigger Location Request was served, in the time can not using the determined localization method in beginning step (step 114 and 116) of triggered location request service, triggered location request service generation was located wrong and is finished this service.As a result, SUPL AGENT 104 can not receive the service of required time.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, carried out this aspect to solve the problems referred to above that take place in the prior art, and the invention provides positioning service system is provided, so though target terminal can not use determined localization method in the different electric wave environment because of moving at execution triggered location request viability target terminal, this system can also provide triggered location request service continuously.
