Fig. 1 illustrates the exemplary embodiment according to mobile network 100 of the present invention.In this embodiment, mobile network 100 can operate with infrastructure mode in WLAN (wireless local area network) (" WLAN ") 40.Mobile network 100 also can comprise: access point (" AP ") 10, a plurality of MCP 20,25, communication network 50, server 60 and client computers 70.MCP 20 is h1 at 30 height overhead, and MCP 25 is h2 at 30 height overhead.MCP 20,25 all is arranged in three-dimensional planar, in this plane they can translation, rotation, revolution, acceleration or motion otherwise.It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be used with any mobile network, mobile network 100 is exemplary.
WLAN 40 can use a version or the similar agreement of IEEE 802.11.Use an advantage of the version of IEEE802.11 to be to use the existing infrastructure of this standard can be adapted to this system of support with minimum modification.Only by the simple software upgrading, great majority support the MCP20,25 of this standard just can operate according to the present invention.In alternate exemplary embodiments, can also utilize different wireless protocols or technology (for example: bluetooth, WWAN, WPAN, infrared ray).
Get back to mobile network 100, AP 10 can be router, electric wire connecting junction or the bridge that for example constitutes the connection between WLAN 40 and the communication network 50. MCP 20,25 and WLAN 40 couplings, and server 60 and client computers 70 and communication network 50 couplings.Communication network 50 is used for transmitting data between each ingredient of mobile network 100.This communication network 50 can be any network that is used in such as transmission data between the microprocessor, and can be LAN (Local Area Network) (" LAN "), wide area network (" WLAN ") or the Internet.The scope of MCP 20,25 is only limited by the scope of communication network 50.When communication network 50 comprised the Internet, as long as the AP 10 that is connected with communication network 50 is in MCP 20,25 in each the scope, this scope can be unlimited basically.Therefore, AP 10 is neighbor server 60 or client computers 70 physically, because it can lay by the network cable that extends or be positioned at a distant place by the Internet.
MCP 20,25 can be based on the computing machine or the processor of any kind of mobile device (for example, barcode reader, PDA, laptop computer, bidirection pager, mobile phone, digital camera, mobile optical reader).Because MCP 20,25 is of portable form,, and be small enough to be carried easily so they can be connected with wireless network.MCP 20,25 can perhaps can be the portable equipment with different purposes that adds various functions by independent software module for designing such as special-purposes such as reading bar code.In one exemplary embodiment, MCP 20,25 is based on the multi-usage personal digital assistant (" PDA ") such as the operation Pocket PC2003 of Microsoft operating system.
Fig. 2 illustrates the exemplary embodiment according to MCP 20,25 of the present invention.In this embodiment, MCP 20,25 can comprise: processor 110, sensor 120, not removable memory 130, removable memory 140 and antenna 150.Processor 110 is measurement execution commands that sensor 120 is carried out and carries out such as the CPU (central processing unit) (" CPU ") that the result is stored in the storer or by antenna 150 result is sent to the process the remote equipment.Removable memory 130 is not the memory assemblies that are integrated into any kind in the electron system structure of MCP 20,25, and can be temporary transient (for example, random access memory or RAM) or permanent (for example, hard disk drive).Removable memory 140 can be to pass through the detachable memory assembly that expansion interface (for example, FLASH interface, USB interface, fire-wire interfaces etc.) is connected to any kind of MCP 20,25.
In the exemplary embodiment of Fig. 2, sensor 120 is integrated among the MCP 20,25.This sensor 120 can be and the equipment that data is sent to independent memory devices of the electron system structure of MCP 20,25 coupling that perhaps it can be coupled at least a portion of the miscellaneous equipment in this architecture.For example, in a kind of embodiment in back, sensor 120 can be coupled to stored event data (for example about the incident that moves of MCP 20,25, its value is above first data of certain threshold value) storage arrangement.In alternate exemplary embodiments, sensor 120 can be the independent external unit (sensor that for example, has FLASH, USB, live wire or similar interface) that is connected with MCP 20,25 by expansion slot.
Sensor 120 can be the measuring equipment of any kind of energy monitoring direction orientation and motion, and can or similarly make up based on for example G-shock transducer, switch, accelerometer, strainometer, piezoelectricity, MEMS technology.The direction orientation can comprise any angular motion value with respect at least one three-dimensional axle of MCP 20,25.Motion for example can comprise: for example, and velocity amplitude, accekeration or magnitude of angular velocity.Though sensor 120 can be a virtually any size, sensor 120 is preferably little of any impost or the occupation space that can ignore completely on the MCP 20,25.Because MCP 20,25 is usually with battery operated, so sensor 120 also should have low-power consumption.In addition, sensor 120 should the enough durable abuse environments of using it for supervision with tolerance.
Sensor 120 detects direction orientation and the variation in the motion of MCP 20,25 and generates first data.First data are provided for processor 110, and processor 110 is compared first data with the second predetermined data that comprise the threshold range value.For example, second data can be 90 ° of rotations of the MCP 20,25 that writes down in advance, detect the generation that this rotation can be indicated an incident.Second data can be the maximum heights of MCP 20,25 landing.Subsequently, based on first data, select and carry out specific prior defined procedure.
But each example that can be higher or lower than second data of appointment acceptance threshold level for the measurement of sensor 120 keeps first data.Processor 110 can also be additional to side information first data that kept, and these side informations comprise time and date, acceleration information, the data corresponding to the state of MCP 20,25 when the date of incident, the environmental factor of serial number, each incident of incident, direction of impact etc.
According to application of the present invention, can carry out various prior defined procedures based on first data.For example, if needed, can be before carrying out any other process with first data storage in not removable memory 130 and/or removable memory 140.Perhaps, first data can be must local stores, but can change into it are transmitted in real time with by central server or remote device stores and/or further processing.This transmission can be by Fig. 1 mobile network 100 communicator realize.WLAN 40 and communication network 50 comprise communicator, and server 60 and client computers 70 comprise central server or remote equipment.
The foregoing description of mobile network 100 and MCP 20,25 should be construed to and limit the present invention by any way.As will be conspicuous to those skilled in the art, need only and under compatible agreement, work, dissimilar MCP 20,25 can be used for communicating by letter on same data network.Have MCP, the AP of different numbers or other configuration of client-server computing machine and also can be used to realize system and method for the present invention.
In mobile network 100 alternate exemplary embodiments,, also can be connected directly to communication network 50 by electric wire although MCP 20,25 is of portable form.For example, can only require MCP 20,25 periodically to be connected their motion that monitors by its corresponding sensor 120 to upgrade, and need not real-time report with mobile network 100.In addition, can not need wireless capability or communication network 50 fully.In this case, sensor 120 is measured, and the local use for user or manufacturer will be internally handled in these measurements.For example, measurement can be used for suggestion and replace or keep in repair MCP 20,25, because it has surpassed the threshold value of abuse and the danger of breaking down is arranged.
Fig. 3 illustrates the illustrative methods 300 that is used to monitor MCP 20,25.In step 310, some distinctive feature of incident (for example second data) is identified and is programmed among the MCP 20,25.Second data can comprise the direction orientation of MCP 20,25 and the certain threshold level and/or the threshold range of the variation in the motion.These features can comprise for example maximum or minimum threshold or the motion of record in advance.User's (for example, manufacturer, system manager or any other authorized people) can specify, or can change these features if needed.For example, MCP 20,25 can be encapsulated in advance by the static state abuse maximal value that manufacturer maybe can not edit with user's inaccessible.Perhaps, this threshold value can be just to the adjustable dynamic default values of following standard.
In step 320, MCP 20,25 is by sensor 120 watch-keepings, the variation of the directed and/or motion with the direction that monitors the generation that may constitute scheduled event/in moving.Incident can comprise that for example MCP20,25 is fallen, wrenches, pulls, shaken certain number of times in the certain hour section, or keeps static in the duration of regulation.When MCP 20,25 detectable motions of experience or long-term nothing motion, will generate first data.Sensor 120 can be distinguished direction orientation or motion value or distinguish its priority, but all results can be returned to processor 110 with by its processing.
In step 330, first data that processor 110 will record are compared with predetermined second data.If the feature of the feature of first data and second data is complementary, then processor 110 is determined to have taken place an incident and is needed to select corresponding prior defined procedure.When incident took place, processor 110 also can be additional to first data with in state, acceleration direction and the environmental data of time/date of each incident, calculation element at least one.In replacement exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an above-mentioned additional part that can be used as prior defined procedure is carried out.
For example, when sensor 120 detects when stopping suddenly after MCP 20,25 quickened in the short time, processor 110 with this information with can infer MCP 20,25 after at least a portion of second data of pre-programmed is compared and drop into ground 30.From the amplitude and the duration of quickening, processor 110 can also determine this fall whether be (for example the user by abuse causes) that cause by force with and the distance h 1 or the h2 of displacement.In addition, from direction and other data of collision, whether processor 110 can also be estimated the initial part that contacts with ground 30 of MCP 20,25, and have any key component to be arrived by direct collision.Whether this information can be affixed to first data, and help to determine to fall working on of MCP 20,25 to be threatened.
Consider (for example, memory limitations and processing power) and all meaningful for reality because be not that all incidents take place, although report and record MCP 20,25 no matter how all small motions are possible, be unpractical in some cases.Moving in acceptable limit may be unnecessary and irrelevant with application of the present invention.Therefore, in step 340, measure first data with respect to the threshold value that comprises in second data.Only at least one incident and/or read and satisfy threshold value, or just keep first data when the motion of second data of record is complementary in advance; Otherwise abandon first data and method 300 and be back to step 320 to monitor new incident.
If first data drop in the threshold value of second data, then method 300 advances to step 350, and processor 110 selects at least one prior defined procedure to carry out according to first data in this step.Especially, processor 110 is analyzed first data that record and the respective process of determining a plurality of prior defined procedures.
In step 360, carry out prior defined procedure.The execution of prior defined procedure can be depending on concrete application of the present invention.For example, first data can be stored in not in removable memory 130 or the removable memory 140.A plurality of first data recording of being stored form the event history of MCP 20,25.Event history can be visited at any time by the Any user of MCP 20,25, maybe can use cryptoguard and/or encrypted, thereby has only authorized personnel (for example, network manager or manufacturer) to visit.
Other example of prior defined procedure comprises: with first data encryption so that its can only first data be sent to remote computer, analyze the event history of MCP 20,25 so that make the reason of service recommendations, any infringement of report, the early warning warning of sending the situation of MCP 20,25, the demonstration that changes MCP 20,25, powered-down etc. by through authorized user visit.After successfully carrying out prior defined procedure, can monitor the generation of new events in step 320 continuation method 300.
The example of being touched upon in more than discussing is just being exemplified as purpose, and do not represent all possible application of the present invention.More properly, the present invention can be applied to all trades and professions, various application region and various uses.Following explanation has further described the feature and advantage of several exemplary application of the present invention.Yet as conspicuous to those skilled in the art, MCP 20,25 can benefit from and utilize the motion sensor assembly that adds in addition according to of the present invention with many alternate manners.
Along with MCP 20,25 incorporates the daily operation of industry of today more and more, need more and more to guarantee that these MCP 20,25 can tolerate mishandling that they often are subjected to.What conventional design and constructing technology produced is only to demonstrate the very MCP 20,25 of low performance grade aspect reliability and the durability under the requirement of industrial environment.MCP 20,25 impaired or that break down can have destructive influences to numerous industries of current dependence mobility solution.For example, the replacement product of seeking complete inoperable MCP 20,25 may cause the delay of high cost.MCP 20,25 with incipient fault also may cause the undetectable error of calculation of destruction system, and and then causes other mistake.
Usually, but the user of MCP 20,25 does not have the reliable method of predictive-failure, and only could find this problem when problem oneself occurs.Till that time, infringement often takes place.Therefore, be starved of that IT and customer service personnel can monitor and determine exactly when MCP 20,25 has crossed intolerable abuse threshold value.According to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this can by accepting of recording of foundation and the grade of unacceptable use pattern realizes.Can set up user model, and can predict and before MCP 20,25 actual breaking down, when it should replaced.At MCP 20,25 by under the situations of abusing, the client can get involved with abuse is treated reduce to minimum, thereby reduce required to MCP 20,25 volume of services and/or replacement and reduce proprietorial total cost.
Referring to the illustrative methods 300 of Fig. 3, for example can define tolerable maximum abuse grade with the number of times that MCP 20,25 drops into ground 30.Therefore, in step 310, constitute the minimum constructive height that falls and to be designated as second data with the maximum times of falling. MCP 20,25 can be configured to only write down the value that surpasses pre-sizing.Therefore, if the threshold value of falling height is set at somewhere between h1 and the h2, then MCP 20 falls earthward from height h1 and 30 will can not appear at its event history, and MCP 25 falls earthward from height h2 and 30 will appear at its event history.In both cases, sensor 120 first data that all generation is relevant with speed and accekeration and send it to processor 110.Processor 110 with first data with determine to fall and additional certain other event data after second data are compared.With first data with after predetermined threshold is compared, first data or be retained or be dropped.At last, select prior defined procedure and execution based on first data.
In other exemplary embodiment, MCP 20,25 can be similarly at only just keeping and implementation when first data are indicated the abuse of certain form.For example, MCP 20,25 only can be programmed to after detecting the incident that predetermined number takes place in the predetermined amount of time just implementation.In addition, MCP20,25 only can change in first data presentation and just keeping and executable operations during to the collision of some key component or towards collision certain predetermined direction and/or that certain predetermined strength is arranged.
As previously mentioned, prior defined procedure can change in concrete application according to the present invention.For example, in abuse indication, prior defined procedure can be to show on the real-time screen of the event history through upgrading of MCP 20,25.If MCP 20,25 is exposed to the use pattern of using above its expection, then (for example by visual cautionary, the LED that early warning shows, glimmers on the screen), (for example can listen siren, use loudspeaker, earphone, receiver) or mechanical alarm (for example, vibration, pager motor) warn the user may also conform with demand.
In addition, can cause of the attention of the remote parties of the situation of paying close attention to MCP 20,25 to MCP 20,25 prejudicial use patterns.For example the communication link that IT and customer service personnel can be by mobile networks 100 in real time, on the scene or monitor the event history of MCP 20,25 with leaving the theatre.Real time monitoring can not or unpractiaca situation in, can change into periodic or predetermined interval and upgrading.For example, MCP 20,25 can not have wireless communication ability, can exceed the radio operation scope of AP 10, perhaps may need to preserve mobile network 110 finite bandwidth.In these cases, the number and the grade of MCP 20, the 25 unacceptable use-cases that experienced can be filed for retrieval usefulness later on.Can set up the timetable of periodic maintenance and maintenance, remote parties can obtain to upgrade therebetween.When MCP 20,25 is returned to extended base or charging bracket, also can download event history when transposition finishes.
By the event history of MCP 20,25, remote parties (for example, IT and customer service personnel) can be carried out the operation that exceeds the scope of overhauling specific MCP 20,25.The research and development of the MCP 20,25 that this information can be used to be of value to later by manufacturer.By set up the use pattern that MCP 20,25 works under conditions of similarity, just can regulate the durability level, thereby can make following standard be suitable for actual service condition according to the anticipated conditions that MCP 20,25 stands possibly.Can improve with the standard accepted of monitor motion data in case excessive abuse according to the new criterion of a cover then.
The present invention is the ability of file and retrieval warranty information to the another advantage of manufacturer.The guarantee of manufacturer usually only guarantees at the defective that produces from the production of MCP 20,25 or occur in normal use, these the two kinds situations that do not comprise that MCP 20,25 falls in the mode that may violate its standard or abused by the client.Yet, to the use of MCP 20,25 without any situation about knowing under, when the client is the MCP 20,25 that breaks down when passing manufacturer, manufacturer does not usually have accurately to determine the method for failure cause.If in the storer of MCP 20,25, use information is arranged, perhaps use information can be sent to manufacturer, then warranty request is easier is proved or suspects.
Except mutual with user or remote parties, MCP 20,25 of the present invention can also independently monitor they self situation and correspondingly take action.When the use pattern that surpasses its expection or Environment Design standard ground use MCP 20,25, lose critical data possibility increase greatly.Exemplary embodiment of the present invention allows the infringement during MCP 20,25 employing prevention property measures guarantee to prevent the abuse incident.For example, when MCP 20,25 experience surpasses the predetermined overexercise that uses threshold value (for example, when MCP 20,25 when height h1 or h2 drop into ground 30), in step 360, processor 110 can stop comprising the program of key message to prevent data corruption.Can also forbid any other assembly to the not visit of removable memory 130 or removable memory 140, to avoid any possible loss of data temporarily.If desired, MCP 20,25 can powered-down or switch to standby mode and the abuse incident pass by or the tolerance interval that goes down back in before be not allowed to recovery operation.
Though the example application of the present invention in the above explanation mainly concentrates in the abuse indication, the present invention also can be used for various other sights.As described below, these sights comprise for example power management, posture input, the compensation to undesirable motion, demonstration orientation and safety.
The power management characteristic of MCP is product design slip-stick artist's a main perpetual object always.Because its limited size and its mobility, MCP has limited power supply (for example, chargeable or disposable battery group) usually.The MCP that exploitation can work long hours and not sacrifice its movability be now design challenges.The strong power-supply management system of design optimization and economize on electricity is the key factor that solves this difficult problem.
By in conjunction with previously described sensor 120, just be appreciated that the direction orientation of MCP 20,25 with respect to the user.Like this, just can strengthen current power-supply management system by opening when appropriate and turning off each system.For example, many MCP 20,25 have display and the back lighting of using a large amount of power available.Just keep display and back lighting to open when utilizing this directed aspect of sensor can make 20,25 of MCP in display is in user's visual angle and scope.By adopting example system of the present invention and method, when MCP 20,25 turned over the visual angle or surpasses the visual range predetermined amount of time, display and back lighting can be turned off with economize on electricity.In MCP 20,25 rotates back into user's visual angle or when getting back in the visual range, display and back lighting can be reopened immediately.
The another kind of method that the present invention can optimize the power management of MCP 20,25 can be by when MCP20,25 does not use it not being switched to electricity-saving state.Conventional power-supply management system is not being turned off MCP 20,25 or it is being switched to idle pulley from after user mutual through time of predetermined amount usually.The Preset Time section usually can be by the software adjustment of MCP 20,25.The present invention will lack motion as MCP 20,25 being switched to the free time or turn off the additional triggers of pattern, thus the tendency of having utilized MCP 20,25 to be kept in motion in use, and when static, save energy.Triggering the dwell amount of electricity-saving state also can be regulated by the software of MCP 20,25.
Continue exemplary application more of the present invention, the sensor of combination of the present invention and MCP 20,25 can also simplify the operation of MCP 20,25 by posture input.The Xian Jin advantage that counting yield provided is usually by the sacrifice of workability and user friendly is offset day by day.Complicated menu, screen are gone up button, process etc. usually makes the user disappointing, and obstruction but not improved yield-power.Make MCP 20,25 can discern various motions or user's posture and this is reacted by sensing of the present invention and the ability of analyzing motion.These motions or posture can be set up in advance to trigger MCP 20,25 and be carried out otherwise these various functions that need manually boot.
For example, if be equipped with the MCP 20,25 of display to be in document viewing pattern and orientation, then gently turning over fast of sensor 120 detected user's wrist can be consistent with the software application of the following one page that turn to document.In another example, when to the long list of user's display application option the time, wrist is rotated posture and can be triggered MCP 20,25 and start downward the scroll list.In another example, if MCP the 20, the 25th, the equipment (for example, imager, scanner, camera) with data capture capability, then detected motion corresponding to certain posture that writes down in advance can trigger MCP 20,25 and open the data capture function.
Another advantage of the present invention is the ability that undesirable motion is compensated.Impair MCP 20,25 so though do not constitute the motion of abuse, the small movements value still can influence the application that needs the least possible motion unfriendly.For example, utilize the MCP with data capture capability 20,25 of various camera techniques when motion, can produce picture fuzzy or that mistake is burnt.Develop the whole bag of tricks and attempted to offset these undesirable influences, for example, minimized or eliminated the weight or the support of irrelevant motion.
The present invention can be used for addressing this problem and does not need heavy physical attachment or plant equipment.Under exemplary embodiment of the present invention, can discern, handle and reduce susceptibility by the various software applications that MCP 20,25 is adopted to undesirable motion.MCP 20,25 can be by display or other aposematic mechanism to user ID by kinetic unacceptable operational scenario, and/or the motion during making software to the data capturing events automatically compensates.
In addition, in the MCP 20,25 that is equipped with display, orientation sensing ability of the present invention can also be regulated the demonstration orientation with respect to the user easily. MCP 20,25 formats video data with horizontal or vertical pattern usually.Newer mobile software application makes can between manual switchover video data form.The present invention allows to monitor MCP 20,25 orientations with respect to the user, thus make MCP 20,25 can be between horizontal and vertical pattern automatic switchover video data form.
As last exemplary application of the present invention, the sensor of combination of the present invention and MCP 20,25 can be used for safe purposes.Because MCP 20,25 is of portable form, they are easily misplaced the place or are stolen.By adopting example system of the present invention and method, MCP 20,25 can have the security feature of indicating their position or preventing to be used by unwarranted people to the user.For example, when MCP 20,25 in default a period of time (for example, in charging, memory period spends the night) when remaining static, it can enter safe mode and be programmed to triggers alarm when the motion that detects MCP 20,25.This alarm can be to use can listen, visual or mechanical features in MCP 20,25 this locality.Simultaneously or as an alternative, can on the scene or the remote equipment of leaving the theatre, trigger alarm with previously described communication system.If (for example, GPS) that MCP 20,25 adopts tracking technique, then it can also pass on its position.The all right locking terminal application program of security feature is used until having imported authorized user cipher to prevent MCP 20,25.
With reference to above exemplary embodiment the present invention has been described.One skilled in the art will understand that if be modified, the present invention also can successfully realize.Therefore, can carry out various modifications and changes and can not deviate from the most wide in range spirit and scope of in appended claims, setting forth of the present invention embodiment.Therefore, instructions and accompanying drawing are regarded in an illustrative, rather than a restrictive.
