110 open after can be with fast search to satellite, positioning time may be and electric at RTC about the 2-3 second
Source does not power in the case of (such as telecommunication circuit is fully powered off), and satellite positioning unit 110 is being opened
The time that can require over 20 seconds after opening could obtain location.Certainly, satellite positioning unit 110 also may be used
Only just to close need not location when rather than to close after location every time.Such as, right
Under the scene that the requirement of real-time of positional information is higher, such as when footwear be in the other region of low level security (as
Street) time, then satellite positioning unit 110 can be always maintained at open and constantly offer positional information to
Communication unit 120.The option closing satellite positioning unit 110 can set in communication unit 120,
Such as close immediately after the position data every time receiving satellite positioning unit 110, by positional information
Close after reporting location-server, do not close within one period of scheduled time or do not close.This choosing
Communication unit 120 can be set according to occasion, the position such as location equipment 100 by item by location-server
Fixed.In addition to satellite positioning unit 110 carries out satellite fix, communication unit 120 can also assist
Location, such as, A-GPS, it utilizes the base station of mobile network to position.Auxiliary positioning is due to by base
Stand firm position, therefore precision not as satellite fix high, but locating speed is fast.Auxiliary positioning coordinates satellite fix
Positioning time can be shortened, the most such as, can use a satellite fix and the most auxiliary within a period of time
Help location.It addition, when location equipment enters specific region (such as the indoor) of satellite fix difficulty, can
With only with auxiliary positioning.Satellite fix can be positioned by communication unit control with the switching of auxiliary positioning
Server can also use instruction to be controlled by communication unit.
In another embodiment, communication unit 120 can also include second timer (not shown),
Second timer sets the second time interval of communication unit 120 upload location information.Second time interval
It is spaced more than the very first time, preferably the integral multiple at very first time interval, such as 30 minutes.Second
Timer expire (i.e. through the second time interval) time, the position that communication unit 120 will be accumulated in buffer
Confidence breath reports server together.So, a plurality of positional information one can be risen by communication unit 120
Give server, such that it is able to save flow and electric power that communication process is consumed.
The very first time is spaced when can dispatch from the factory with the second time interval or user pre-sets.Or
Person, very first time interval and the second time interval can also be arranged by server.Such as, when judging location
When equipment 100 enters safety zone (such as family or school), server can increase very first time interval
With the second time interval, i.e. reduce and gather and the frequency of reporting position information, to save electric power.Work as judgement
When location equipment 100 enters the other region of low level security (such as street), when server can reduce first
Between interval and the second time interval, i.e. increase and gather and the frequency of reporting position information, with obtain more and
The positional information that real-time is higher.
When the second time interval is shorter, such as, the second time interval is within 2 hours, i.e.
A positional information is reported, then utilize the above-mentioned two timer of communication unit 120 to enter less than 2 hours
Row power consumption control is suitable, and communication unit 120 is in normal mode of operation or park mode.For
Two time intervals are longer, such as the threshold value more than 2 hours, then above-mentioned two timer can be by electric power
Control unit 130 configures, because the use frequency of communication unit 120 is the lowest in this case, and electric power
Control unit 130 can control the first switching device 170 by the first control output end 132 and turn off, from
And make communication unit 120 power-off to save electric power.Any instruction cannot be received after communication unit 120 power-off,
Now the first and second timers should be arranged in power control unit 130, i.e. power control unit
130 include the first and second timers, are used for controlling sequential, when corresponding timer expires, and electric power control
Unit 130 processed controls the first switching device 170 by the first control output end 132 and turns on and perform accordingly
The collection of positional information or upload.The first and second timers in communication unit 120 (if having
Words) can be deactivated.This mode by communication unit power-off is not suitable for the feelings that the second time interval is shorter
Condition, because having bigger electric current when that communication unit starting after a loss of power, if Switch Communication frequently
Module can increase power consumption on the contrary.Certainly, power control unit 130 is the most all used to control
Sequential is also possible, when communication unit 120 is in the park mode of low-power consumption, and power control unit
130 can pass through the second control output end WAKE_UP to communication unit when corresponding timer expires
120 output the second control signals wakes up communication unit 120 up, perform corresponding positional information collection or on
Pass.
Communication unit 120 can first be connected with location-server after waking up up from resting state or start every time
Alternately, reporting the current state of oneself, location-server decides whether on communication unit 120
Pass positional information.It is said that in general, the SECO in communication unit 120 and power control unit 130 is adopted
By the form of relative time, location equipment may produce time migration after a certain period of use time.One
In individual embodiment, location-server can periodically or be used definitely when being connected with communication unit 120 every time
In time synchronized communication unit 120 and power control unit 130, with correction time.
In one embodiment, in order to save electric power further, power control unit 130 can also be one
Control the first switching device 170 by the first control output end 132 under fixed condition to turn off, so that communication
Module 120 and satellite positioning unit 110 power-off.Power control unit 130 oneself enters treating of low-power consumption
Machine pattern.The specified conditions entering standby mode such as include, the second time interval as above is longer
Situation, after communication unit 120 uploads positional information, distance upload to location-server next time
The interval of positional information is longer (such as more than 2 hours), and power control unit 130 can make communication unit
120 and satellite positioning unit 110 power-off.In addition it is also possible to set according to the application scenarios of location equipment 100
These specified conditions fixed.Such as, above-mentioned location equipment 100 being positioned to the scene of sole part, entrance is treated
The condition of machine pattern can include arriving certain special time period (such as point at 9 in evening to morning next day 9)
Or entering certain specific region, specific region includes the region that level of security is high, such as family or school.
In this special time period or specific region, child is likely to take off shoes, therefore need not continue
Monitor its position.Power control unit 130 can include standby interval timer, is used for setting this specific
Time period.Communication module can receive the instruction arranging standby interval timer from location-server, when arriving
When reaching particular moment, power control unit 130 is automatically into standby mode.Or, server can sentenced
Send to communication module when disconnected arrival particular moment or location equipment 100 enter specific region and make electric power control

In one embodiment, it is also possible to be equipped with motion sensor 140 and realize more intelligent energy-conservation.Fortune
Dynamic sensor 140 is always maintained at work, even if power control unit 130 enters standby mode.Motion
Sensor 140 such as includes gravity sensor.In the above example, Gravity changer means shoes
Motion, i.e. child may put on shoes and walk about, and now can recover monitoring.When sensing motion,
Motion sensor 140 sends the 3rd control signal to power control unit 130, by the latter from standby mode
Wake up up and enter into normal mode of operation, start the collection of positional information and upload.In order to avoid reporting by mistake,
After being waken up, it is certain to determine sensed motion that power control unit 130 can first carry out deterministic process
Reflection is walked about normally rather than shoes are accidentally moved.Such as can add up motion sensor 140 to carry
Motion/displacement variable in a period of time (such as 30 seconds) of confession, if beyond threshold value, then judges to send out
Give birth to and walked about, powered up for communication unit and satellite positioning unit and start the collection of positional information and upload；
Otherwise judging it is wrong report, power control unit 130 returns to standby mode.This threshold value can be come by server
Arrange.Additionally, when power control unit 130 is in normal mode of operation, if motion sensor exists
The amount of exercise not sensing motion or sensing in longer period is less, and such as, this time period is more than 10
Minute threshold value, then motion sensor 140 can send the 3rd control signal to power control unit 130,
The latter is made to enter standby mode from normal mode of operation.
Motion sensor e.g. model is the gravity sensor of LIS3DSH, uses LGA16 microminiature
Encapsulation, 16 pins, power consumption is the lowest.The chip microcontroller of power control unit low-power consumption, such as
EFM32ZG108F16, employing QFN24 ultra-miniature package, 24 pins are minimum
