Hold the above, according to GPS service request method of the present invention, it can have one or more following advantage:
(1) saves GPS and serve manufacturer's sequence number resource.Serve manufacturer when GPS and needn't like mobile phone, prepare sequence number respectively for each handheld communications device, GPS is served manufacturer only need provide sequence number to use the user who serves to needs, can effectively save the sequence number resource.
(2) reduce the cost that the GPS service is directly launched by handheld communications device manufacturer.Some chamber of commerce of handheld communications device manufactory directly serves manufacturer to GPS and buys sequence number, directly to launch the GPS service; But these extra costs often directly impute to the cellie.
(3) the handheld communications device user who does not use GPS to serve can save unnecessary waste.
(4) the handheld communications device user who uses GPS to serve, visual demand own, and buy different GPSs between the service operating period.
For let above-mentioned and other purposes of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, hereinafter is special lifts preferred embodiment, and conjunction with figs., elaborates as follows.
Embodiment
Below will the GPS service request method according to preferred embodiment of the present invention be described with reference to relevant drawings, for ease of understanding, the similar elements among the following embodiment is explained with identical symbology.
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of GPS service request method of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, the service of user's desire application GPS comprises the following step:
At first, carry out step S10, the navigation feature of the GPS service that user's decision is desired to buy is between the operating period.At first, the user need look own demand, and decision was bought between the GPS service operating period, between the operating period be for example be one day, a week, January, 1 year, forever use or during a certain date to another date.
Then, carry out step S12, the user is with handheld communications device, mobile phone for example, and the present invention all is example with the mobile phone, sends to comprise the first information of navigation feature between the operating period to server.Wherein, the first information forms according to the specific format editor.Wherein, the mobile phone dialing particular number makes the first information be sent to the server of telecommunications operation manufacturer.
Carry out step S14, after server received the first information, second information that passback comprises sequence number was to mobile phone.
Carry out step S16, after the user receives second information that server transmits, the input sequence number in mobile phone to open the service of (activate) GPS.Wherein, The user is with after in the sequence number input handset that comprises in second information; Mobile phone can be opened the GPS service, and sequence number system for example is GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) sequence number, UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) sequence number.In addition, second information more can form according to the specific format editor except that comprising sequence number.Wherein, mobile phone just begins to carry out timing according to the navigation feature of user in the S12 step after opening the GPS service between the operating period, and promptly the user can carry out the navigation feature in the mobile phone in navigation feature is between the operating period.
Moreover when preventing that mobile phone from revising because of functional lesion or user that the time causes accurately carrying out timing in the mobile phone, timekeeping system of the present invention adopts the system of server that navigation feature is carried out timing between the operating period.For example, navigation feature between the operating period for during first date on date to the second that server showed.In addition, after the GPS service release, telecommunications operator can withhold expense to the user between the operating period according to the navigation feature that the user selects to open, and serves manufacturer with GPS again and carries out the expense that distribution of interests is collected with distribution.
Arrive after date between the operating period in aforesaid navigation feature, the GPS service is promptly closed.The user arrives after date in navigation feature between the operating period, can not re-use GPS service in the mobile phone, promptly can not carry out the navigation feature in the mobile phone.If the user thinks to use once again the GPS service, then need to apply for open-minded according to step S10~S16.
