Fig. 2 shows schematic block diagram according to another embodiment of the invention, that be used for the system of definite mobile terminal locations.System 1 ' comprises acoustic signals source device 50, portable terminal 60 and server 70.With system shown in Figure 11 ' similarly; Acoustic signals source device 50 at CF (preferably; 16KHz-20KHz) go up the emission acoustic signals, this acoustic signals is modulated with these acoustic signals source device 50 pairing unique codings in advance, therefore carries the coded message of assist location.Portable terminal 60 receives this acoustic signals, and from this acoustic signals, demodulates this unique coding corresponding to this acoustic signals source device 50, the i.e. coded message of assist location.As shown in Figure 2, different with system shown in Figure 11 ' is that portable terminal 60 does not utilize data processing equipment to resolve this coded message, but utilizes data transmission/receiving system that the coded message that demodulates is sent to server 70.Server 70 comprises corresponding data transmission/receiving system and data processing equipment, and the former is used for receiving this coded message from portable terminal 60, and the latter then confirms the position of portable terminal according to this coding.Particularly, server 70 can find the position of this acoustic signals source device 50 according to the coding of this acoustic signals source device 50 of prior storage and the mapping table of its position.For example, being encoded to the corresponding position of 001 equipment is No. 11 positions, the 2nd buildings, eastern annex 3 districts, and the position that is encoded to 010 equipment correspondence is No. 3 positions, the 2nd buildings, western annex 1 district etc.Perhaps portable terminal 60 is known the definition rule of the coding of acoustic signals source device 50 in advance; Utilization should rule can directly be positional information with code parsing; For example coding itself is a string number; The 1-3 bit digital is represented building name, and the 4th bit digital is represented floor, the predefine zone in this floor of the 5th bit representation.In context of the present invention, think that the pairing acoustic signals source device 50 of acoustic signals that portable terminal 60 receives with it is in same position.
Can see system shown in Figure 11 is whether comprise server 70 with the difference of system shown in Figure 21 '.Its essence difference is realize in which equipment according to the data processing function that coding positions.If come coded message is resolved by portable terminal 60, further to obtain positional information, then needn't comprise server 70 in the system, that is, in portable terminal, realize positioning function.Otherwise, if can't help portable terminal 60 comes coded message is resolved further to obtain positional information, then comprise server 70 in the system, carry out this positioning function by this server.
According to another embodiment of the invention, can further the acoustic signals demodulation function in the portable terminal be transplanted to server side, constitute (not shown) thereby form another system.Wherein system comprises acoustic signals source device 50, portable terminal 60 and server 70.Different with system shown in Figure 21 ' is; Portable terminal 60 only receives the acoustic signals that acoustic signals source device 50 sends; And this acoustic signals is transmitted to server 70, carry out by server 70 acoustic signals is carried out demodulation, code signal is resolved to obtain the function of positional information.In the utilization of reality, maybe be from the consideration of bandwidth, this system of less employing constitutes scheme, but it still can utilize principle of the present invention to realize, also therefore falls within the scope of the present invention.
With reference to figure 3 and Fig. 4 the method that is used for confirming portable terminal according to of the present invention is described below.At first with reference to figure 3, method begins in step 300.In step 301, utilize and carrier signal is modulated specific to the coding of acoustic signals source device.At first; Define unique coding, for example, select the perhaps unique character express information of its unique Arabic numerals numbering as information itself corresponding to the acoustic signals source device; This information is carried out binary coding, obtain a string binary symbol sequence of forming by " 1 " and " 0 ".Square wave so that binary symbol sequence is corresponding is modulated the carrier wave body as modulation signal.At this, carrier signal means the sound wave that does not add modulation.As previously mentioned, the frequency that people's ear can be heard is between 20Hz-20KHz, and HFS 16KHz-20KHz wherein has been not easy to be heard by people's ear.In the present invention, the sound wave of selecting this frequency range just preferably for example selects 18KHz as carrier frequency as modulated carrier wave body.Modulation scheme can adopt multiple digital modulation known in those skilled in the art such as amplitude-shift keying, frequency shift keying, phase-shift keying and differential phase keying.
In step 302, on this CF, launch this modulated acoustic signals by the acoustic signals source device.At this, the actual frequency of the acoustic signals that CF is promptly modulated, it is original frequency of carrier, for example 18KHz under the situation of amplitude modulation.Under the situation of frequency modulation, for example select frequency 20KHz to represent symbol " 1 ", and 18KHz represent " 0 ", then this CF is between 18-20KHz.
In step 303, receive said acoustic signals by portable terminal.Present portable terminal all has the device that is used to receive audible sound, for example microphone.As well known to a person skilled in the art that when utilizing portable terminal to carry out operation such as call or multimedia recording, microphone is used for mobile terminal receive user's voice signal.Likewise, when utilizing portable terminal to carry out like positioning action of the present invention, microphone capable of using receives the acoustic signals that carries the coded message that is used for assist location.
In step 304, the acoustic signals that receives is carried out demodulation to obtain the coding specific to the acoustic signals source device.For this reason, corresponding acoustic signals demodulating equipment need adopt the demodulation scheme corresponding with modulation scheme that modulation signal is carried out rectification, therefrom obtains the square-wave signal that is used to modulate.And according to the pairing binary symbol sequence of square-wave signal, through obtaining coded message itself with the corresponding decoding process of coded system.This coded message for example can be unique Arabic numerals numbering of acoustic signals source device, perhaps can be unique text description information.As previously mentioned, this demodulation step both can be accomplished at portable terminal, also can be accomplished by server.
In step 305, confirm the position of said portable terminal according to said coding.As an example, corresponding data processing equipment is stored the coding of acoustic signals source device and the mapping table of position in advance, after obtaining to encode, can obtain the positional information of acoustic signals source device through searching this mapping table.As another example, itself can represent the position of this equipment the coding of acoustic signals source device.For example according to the establishment rule of predefined, a big zone is divided into 5 districts, then 5-1-1 can represent first quartile in first district, and 5-3-4 can represent the four-quadrant in the 3rd district.Thus, need not keep the mapping table of coding and position, can derive positional information intuitively from the coding that obtains.As previously mentioned, this positioning step both can be accomplished by portable terminal, also can be accomplished by server.In step 306, method finishes.
Fig. 4 A-Fig. 4 B shows indicative flowchart according to another embodiment of the invention, that be used for the method for definite mobile terminal locations.In Fig. 4 A, method begins in step 400.In step 401, for the purpose of safety, judge whether and to encrypt coding.If then in step 402, coded message is encrypted.Can adopt any numeric coding scheme well known to those skilled in the art that coding is encrypted with the binary symbol sequence that obtains encrypting or the coding of encryption.As important use example of the present invention, can adopt dynamic that coding is encrypted.This dynamic maker is parameter with time, adopts such as methods such as multiple password table AESs and generates dynamic.This with time be parameter dynamic only in the certain hour section effectively, and can only use once, so fail safe is very high.Correspondingly; When deciphering, must utilize correct dynamic; If illegality equipment passes through to play once more behind the recording acoustic signals, will lose efficacy owing to the dynamic that time delay causes the entrained coded message of acoustic signals to comprise, and can't obtain correct coded message.Should be noted that under the situation of utilizing dynamic to encrypt it is synchronous that the clock of transmitting terminal and receiving terminal should keep.
If, then directly do not jump to step 403.In step 403, be similar to step 301, for example carrier wave is modulated the acoustic signals that obtains modulating specific to the pairing square wave of the binary symbol sequence of acoustic signals source device.In step 404, be similar to step 302, on CF, launch modulated acoustic signals by the acoustic signals source device.In step 405, judge whether to need to change locating accuracy.In the present invention, owing to utilize sound wave as the carrier that diffuses information, the propagation distance of sound wave from the acoustic signals source device to portable terminal is locating accuracy.The scope that each acoustic signals source device is covered, promptly the distance of portable terminal how far can receive this sound wave, is the key factor that influences positioning accuracy.This scope generally depends on the transmitting power of acoustic signals source device.Have flexibility ground, when needs changed positioning accuracy, method changed step 406 over to, wherein changes the transmitting power of acoustic signals source device, the transmitting power of its loud speaker for example, thus the coverage of adjustment acoustic signals source device changes positioning accuracy thus.
If need not change positioning accuracy, then method proceeds to step 407, need wherein to judge whether the self adaptation adjustment.In the application of reality, there are various noises inevitably in the residing environment of acoustic signals source device.When ambient noise level changes when violent, if the volume of acoustic signals remains unchanged, may influence the reception of portable terminal to acoustic signals, and then the realization of influence location.At this moment, need carry out the self adaptation adjustment, so that the coverage of acoustic signals source device keeps stable to the transmitting power of acoustic signals.In this case, method changes step 408 over to, wherein utilizes the noises that device detects or collection is extraneous such as microphone, according to the result who detects, the transmitting power of acoustic signals is carried out the self adaptation adjustment, promptly changes transmitting power (step 406).For example when environmental volume is big, need correspondingly improve the transmitting power of acoustic signals; When environmental volume hour, can correspondingly reduce the transmitting power of acoustic signals.After this, method gets into continued frame 409.Step 400-408 all is to be the operation that transmitting terminal carries out at acoustic signals source device place, and follow-up step 410-425 then is to be the operation that receiving terminal carries out at portable terminal or server place.
In Fig. 4 B, continue aforesaid the inventive method.In step 410, receive acoustic signals by portable terminal.This reception can be a kind of real-time reception, and for example mobile phone users is selected to open under the situation of positioning function, and microphone is in running order all the time, handles to the acoustic signals demodulating equipment specific acoustic wave signal forwarding that receives at any time.This reception also can be that the user triggers, and is for example notified need position the time manually opened microphone to receive as the user.
Then, in step 411, judge whether to carry out demodulation process at the portable terminal place.If then method changes step 412 over to.By portable terminal acoustic signals is carried out demodulation.Step 304 among this procedure and Fig. 3 is similar, therefore repeats no more.If not, then method changes step 419 over to, and acoustic signals is sent to server.For example can this acoustic signals be sent as one section recording data through existing data transmission network.In step 420, server carries out demodulation to be similar to the mode of portable terminal to acoustic signals.In step 413 and 421, whether encrypt according to the coded message that acoustic signals is entrained, judge whether and need decipher.If, then in step 414 and 422, binary symbol sequence is deciphered to obtain the coded message specific to the acoustic signals source device with the corresponding decrypt scheme of transmitting terminal.If not, then in step 415 and 423, directly obtain coded message specific to the acoustic signals source device.Then, when carrying out at portable terminal under the situation of above-mentioned processing, in step 416, further judge whether to position processing at portable terminal.If then method changes step 418 over to, wherein portable terminal is confirmed positional information according to coded message.If not; Then method changes step 417 over to, and wherein portable terminal sends to server with coded message, then in step 424; Identical ground with the subsequent step that in server, carries out the acoustic signals demodulation process is confirmed positional information by server according to coded message.At last, in step 425, method finishes.
Can see that according to the realization at diverse location of the function of different phase, the present invention can have numerous embodiments, and is not limited to shown in the exemplary process flow chart these.
