Background technology
In the modern society, along with the continuous development of traffic, network of highways is intricate, and the locate mode that traditional compass adds map can not satisfy people's demand, and therefore various location technologies are arisen at the historic moment.Simultaneously, the application of mobile communication terminals such as current phone, PDA is universal day by day, and it not only can be used as communication tool, but also is penetrated into other field gradually, and wherein very important a kind of application is exactly running fix.
Figure 1 shows that a kind of technical scheme of utilizing mobile phone to position in the prior art, this is a kind of with mobile phone with GPS (Global Positioning System, global positioning system) signal receiver technical scheme as orientation tool.Comprise three parts in this technical scheme: space gps satellite constellation (for example, satellite 1 is to satellite 4), ground monitoring system, user's gps signal receiver (being GPS chip built-in in the mobile phone).The basic principle of the GPS location in this technical scheme is: ground monitoring system provides ephemeris for each gps satellite and makes each satellite be in same time standard; Each satellite is constantly launched ephemeris parameter and the temporal information of self; After gps signal receiver receives signal, can calculate the position of receiver self according to triangle formula, and in electronic chart, show.The inventor is in realizing process of the present invention, and there are the following problems at least to find the prior art: 1, need be in mobile phone built-in GPS chip; 2, the GPS chip must operate at good gps signal covering down.
Figure 2 shows that the another kind of technical scheme of utilizing mobile phone to position in the prior art, this is a kind of navigation system based on the base station.In this technical scheme, mobile phone is by measuring the down-bound pilot frequency signal of different base station, obtain TOA (the Time of Arrival of different base station descending pilot frequency, due in), according to this measurement result and in conjunction with the coordinate of base station, generally adopt the triangle formula algorithm for estimating, just can calculate the position of mobile phone.The inventor is in realizing process of the present invention, there are the following problems at least to find the prior art: actual location-estimation algorithm need use the base station more than 3 to position, require the downstream signal of at least 3 base stations all relatively good, the algorithm complexity, and also accuracy is not high.
Summary of the invention
Embodiment of the invention technical problem to be solved is, a kind of mobile communication terminal and localization method thereof with positioning function is provided, make not need be in mobile communication terminal built-in GPS chip, do not require that the downstream signal of at least 3 base stations is all relatively good yet, just can realize running fix.
For this reason, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of mobile communication terminal with positioning function, and a kind of mobile communication terminal with positioning function comprises:
Transmitting element is used for the feature keyword to the target geographic position to be positioned of search engine server transmission user input;
Receiving element is used to receive the locating information of the target geographic position that search engine server searches.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of method of utilizing mobile communication terminal to position, comprising:
Send the feature keyword of the target geographic position to be positioned of user's input to search engine server;
The locating information of the target geographic position that the reception search engine server searches.
The embodiment of the invention sends the relevant feature keyword in geographical position to be positioned that includes with user's input to search engine server, the locating information of utilizing search engine server to reply then obtains positioning result, by this locate mode, need not built-in GPS chip in mobile communication terminal, so cost is lower; Also need not to be operated in the good gps signal coverage, therefore be not subjected to the restriction of gps signal quality; And need not the special networks support, therefore the mobile communication terminal of many low sides also can be realized running fix; When geographical feature is obvious, can realize accurate location in addition.

With concrete example embodiments of the invention are described below.
When the user places oneself in the midst of in the strange environment, can not the identification direction or when not knowing peripheral situation, can find out the significant geographical feature around own, and editor is contained the information input handset that this geographical feature is described.For example, if the user finds oneself to be in the crossing on Hongqiao road and Yishan road, then input " Yishan road, Hongqiao road " in the input unit of mobile phone as shown in Figure 5 (" " expression space wherein).
Then, user's input sends to search engine server by transmitting element (for example breath of the short message in mobile phone transmitting element).This process can be finished by software, is specially: according to the agreement that pre-defines, user's input is packaged into searching request according to the form of agreement, and this request is sent to search engine server by short message.That is, mobile phone can send a short message that thes contents are as follows to search engine server:
<search_request>
Hongqiao road _ Yishan road
</search_request>
Search engine can be searched in its database according to the feature keyword in the searching request, and to obtain the Search Results relevant with the feature keyword, promptly the locating information of target geographic position can reply to mobile phone with this locating information then.This answer can be to reply by short message.Search engine can be the map search engine of the Google of being similar to Map of the prior art.Search Results can be the latitude and longitude coordinates relevant with the feature keyword.
Be that mobile phone can be received a short message of being replied by search engine server, message content can following (supposing that Search Results is a latitude and longitude coordinates) in this example:
<search_response>
E31.198056°,N121.336389°
</search_response>
Mobile phone can show mentioned above searching results for the user, for example directly shows the latitude and longitude coordinates in the content of short message.Perhaps, mobile phone can be resolved mentioned above searching results, the service of position-based information can be provided then, as shown in Figure 6, the correspondence position that indicates Search Results on can the electronic chart in mobile phone is target geographic position (for example, can indicate shown in arrow among the figure) and/or road or the facility title (for example Xiushan Mountain road as shown in the figure and first good fortune mansion etc.) that shows the current location periphery.The road of described demonstration current location periphery or facility title can show according to user's selection, for example can show the facility title of a certain class according to user's selection, as only showing the title in peripheral path, restaurant, bank, post office or market; The title that also can show a few class facilities of combination in any for example only shows the title in peripheral path, restaurant and market so that satisfy user's different demands.
