Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of positioning system and control method thereof, particularly a kind of control program that sees through when Navigator is closed, upgrades almanac data, to accelerate the positioning system of positioning time.
Background technology
Global Positioning System (GPS) is called for short GPS, is the accurate satellite navigation of the cover location plan by U.S.'s development.This Global Positioning System (GPS) has 26 artificial satellites altogether and is distributed on 6 tracks and turns round, each interorbital is 55 degree angles mutually, when making on earth any of user of Global Positioning System (GPS),, if no landform or build the thing facility and cover, the neither influence that is subjected to weather, and can receive the signal of 4～8 satellites and located.Utilize this Aquarian science and technology, anyone can obtain correct position, speed and time easily.
The GPS development plan is to be presided over by U.S. Department of Defense, adds Department of Transportation and participates in, and this technology is transferred to use among the people, is applied in the relevant operations such as navigator fix, precision measurement, attitude and standard time.GPS is the navigational system in conjunction with satellite and wireless technology, can provide the user accurately location, speed and time.The application of GPS extensively is present in existing market, along with the progress of satellite science and technology, many GPS technology and business opportunity also just develop by leaps and bounds, and GPS is confined to military unit in early days, its purpose is at military use, for example degree of accuracy location of opportunity of combat, ships, vehicle, personnel, target of attack etc.Even to this day, GPS is open to be used as the location among the people, this is in conjunction with the science and technology of deep space satellite and mechanics of communication, in the flourishing expansion in market among the people, except providing the accurate localization, also can accurately provide information for speed, time, direction and distance, the scope of utilization is quite extensive, and GPS is limitless business opportunity abrim really.
But in present GPS location, navigator must could see through the gps antenna reception satellite-signal that gps satellite transmitted on the navigator at open space (sky and arround do not have veil), download almanac data, after the download of GPS ephemeris is finished, just can obtain enough data and finish location for the first time, this process is called cold start-up (cold start).And such position fixing process approximately needs 45 seconds～time of not waiting in 2 minutes, and if in the area of the non-constant of reception, the time of this cost may be longer.
Yet, these GPS ephemeris data of downloading have ageing, because gps satellite in the sky is not fixed, appointment every day of same gps satellite is detoured two weeks of the earth, with SiRF GPS module is example, effective holding time of all GPS almanac datas is 4 hours, if more new element is not carried out in the centre, then original GPS almanac data is after through 4 hours, just lost the value of position reference, therefore essential again the cold start process of carrying out a time again, but the process of this essential periodic renewal GPS almanac data, but suitable spended time.
Therefore, nearly one or two years, existing people developed to have GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) (General PacketRadio Service, GPRS) Global Systems for Mobile communications (Global System for MobileCommunications, GSM) locate by mobile phone.And the mode of utilizing mobile phone to do to locate, be commonly referred to as auxiliary global satellite positioning system (Assisted GPS, AGPS), itself and different the locating of traditional GPS maximum, be that GPS only utilizes satellite to position, locate for the first time and the time-consuming length in each afterwards location, AGPS then sees through the rough position that the GSM base station is searched the user earlier, utilize gps satellite to do accurate location again, not only can save positioning time for the first time, be reduced to 10 seconds by traditional one minute, back each location required time, also be reduced to 0.1 second by 40 seconds, and after overcoming in traditional GPS inlet chamber, the shortcoming that can't locate because the satellite reception is not good.
Yet, be positioned at time-consuming shortcoming when upgrading the GPS almanac data though utilize AGPS can improve GPS in the past, but if will use AGPS the time, must possess the mobile phone that the AGPS function is arranged earlier, and also must this telecommunications dealer provide this service to use, and the package of GPRS is when transmitting, and telecommunications dealer also can collect the charges, and therefore suitable does not calculate.
The inventor through research and design and special topic discussion in many ways, then proposes a kind of positioning system and control method thereof in the present invention based on going in for the study for many years and many practical experience, sees through native system and can quicken the location, and do not need extra hardware cost.
Summary of the invention
Because the problems referred to above, purpose of the present invention is for providing a kind of positioning system and control method thereof, and particularly a kind of control program that sees through when Navigator is closed, upgrades almanac data, to shorten the positioning system of positioning time.
For reaching above-mentioned purpose, according to a kind of positioning system of the present invention, it comprises a location module, an application program, a control program, one first transmission interface, one second transmission interface and all die change pieces.Locating module is in order to provide a location information, application process control locating module, in order to receive locating information from locating module, control program is when closing application program, the control locating module, in order to receive locating information from locating module, first transmission interface receives locating information in order to application program to be provided, and second transmission interface receives locating information in order to control program to be provided.The handover module selectivity switches to one first state or one second state, when first state, makes first transmission interface see through handover module, receive locating information from locating module, or when second state, make second transmission interface see through handover module, receive locating information from locating module.
Above-mentioned technical scheme, because of complying with positioning system of the present invention and control method thereof, it proposes a kind of new locating module control architecture, see through all die change pieces, do switching at Navigator and control program between access to the locating module serial port, Navigator and control program can be operated single locating module in same period, read the locating information of locating module, control program can upgrade almanac data in real time, and need not wait until Navigator close the serial port of locating module could begin the action, so just can not need to change under the prerequisite of existing navigation software, one cover control flow additionally is provided, parallel with existing positioning software, and the positioning time of being accelerated locating module.
Further understand and understanding for your juror is had technical characterictic of the present invention and the effect reached, hereinafter sincerely provide preferred embodiment and correlative type to think and assist a ruler in governing a country usefulness, and with detailed comment cooperate explanation as after.
