While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

The embodiment of the invention provides a position transmission method for positioning equipment, the positioning equipment and a network access system, which are used for solving the technical problem that a large amount of data flow of the positioning equipment needs to be consumed when the positioning equipment in the prior art accesses a network.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an interaction method for obtaining a location, as shown in fig. 1, which is an interaction diagram of the method, and a device related to the method includes: positioning equipment, a distribution server and a proxy server, wherein the positioning equipment is, for example: mobile phones, tablet computers, and the like, the user of the positioning device being the user; the distribution server is mainly used for providing identity authentication for the positioning equipment and selecting the proxy server; the proxy server is mainly used for providing network access service for the positioning equipment with the internet surfing flow-free authority.

Referring to fig. 1, the interactive method includes the following steps:

step S110: the positioning equipment determines the current position information of the positioning equipment;

step S120: the positioning equipment sends the current position information of the positioning equipment to the proxy server through the network of a mobile communication operator;

the positioning device marks a flow-free identifier for data transmission in the process of accessing the network, and all or part of data flow generated in the process of accessing the network by the positioning device through the proxy server is included in a specified service provider by a mobile network operator based on the flow-free identifier.

In step S110, the positioning apparatus may obtain the current location information of the positioning apparatus based on multiple occasions, and two of them are listed below for description, and of course, in the specific implementation process, the current location information is not limited to the following two occasions.

Firstly, after receiving a position acquisition request sent by another electronic device through a proxy server, a positioning device responds to the position acquisition request to further acquire current position information of the positioning device; in an optional embodiment, after receiving the location obtaining request, the positioning device directly obtains current location information; in another optional embodiment, the location obtaining request received by the positioning device includes authority authentication information of the electronic device, in this case, the positioning device may determine whether the electronic device has an authority to obtain the current location information based on the authority authentication information, and when the electronic device has the authority to obtain the current location information, the positioning device obtains the current location information.

In an optional embodiment, the authority authentication information of the electronic device is identification information (e.g., a communication identifier, a device identifier, etc.) of the electronic device, the electronic device may first bind the identification information to the positioning device, and then, if the positioning device detects a location obtaining request carrying the identification information of the electronic device, the positioning device determines whether the identification information matches with pre-stored identification information, if matching is successful, it indicates that the electronic device has an authority to obtain current location information of the positioning device, otherwise, it indicates that the electronic device does not have the authority to obtain the current location information of the positioning device.

The device identifier of the electronic device is used to uniquely characterize the electronic device, and is, for example: an IMEI (International Mobile Equipment identity), MAC (media Access control) address; the communication identity is used for the electronic device to access the network of the mobile communication operator, for example: a USIM (universal subscriber identity module) card number, a SIM (subscriber identity module) card number, and the like.

In another optional embodiment, the positioning device sends its unique identifier (e.g., a two-dimensional code, a device identifier, etc.) to the proxy server, if the electronic device needs to obtain the current location information of the positioning device, it first needs to send a binding application to the proxy server, where the binding application includes the device identifier of the positioning device, after receiving the binding application sent by the electronic device, the proxy server determines whether to permit the electronic device to obtain its current location information, and if the information fed back by the positioning device represents that the electronic device is permitted to obtain its current location information, the proxy server generates a right authentication information, and sends the communication identifier and the right authentication information of the electronic device to the positioning device; and the permission authentication information is sent to the electronic equipment, the position acquisition request sent by the electronic equipment to the positioning equipment contains the permission authentication information and the communication identifier, after the positioning equipment receives the position acquisition request sent by the electronic equipment, the permission authentication information corresponding to the communication identifier of the electronic equipment is matched with the prestored permission authentication information, and if the matching is successful, the electronic equipment has the permission to acquire the current position information.

Second, the positioning device may periodically obtain current location information, such as: the positioning device acquires current position information every 30min, 1h, and so on.

In step S110, in an alternative embodiment, the positioning device may determine the current location information directly through a GPS positioning method.

In an alternative embodiment, the positioning device may determine the current location information directly through a base station positioning manner.

In an alternative embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the positioning device may determine the current location information by:

step S201: receiving positioning information sent by a proxy server through a network of a mobile communication operator, wherein the positioning information is sent to the proxy server by a position server, and the positioning information is determined by the position server based on sending time and arrival time of a positioning signal sent to a base station by positioning equipment;

step S202: and determining the current position information of the positioning equipment through the positioning information.

In step S201, if the positioning device needs to determine the current location information, it may send a pilot signal (the pilot signal is a positioning signal) to a plurality of base stations (usually 3) around the positioning device, where the sent pilot signal includes a sending time of the pilot signal;

after each base station receives the pilot signal, the arrival time of the pilot signal at the base station is recorded respectively, and then the base station sends the base station information (such as the position of the base station), the sending time of the pilot signal and the arrival time to a position server;

after receiving the base station information sent by the base station, the sending time of the pilot signal, and the arrival time, the location server can determine the distance between the positioning device and each base station, and the base station location is fixed, so that the first location information of the positioning device can be determined by the base station positioning method based on the distance between the positioning device and each base station and the base station location.

In addition, the location server may also roughly determine satellite information for GPS positioning of the positioning device based on the first location information of the positioning device, for example: frequency band, azimuth, elevation and other relevant information of the satellite.

Therefore, the positioning information sent by the location server to the positioning device through the proxy server in step S201 can be classified into various cases, for example: firstly, positioning information is first position information; the positioning information is satellite information used for carrying out GPS positioning on the positioning equipment; and the positioning information comprises first position information and satellite information.

In step S202, based on the difference of the positioning information received by the positioning device, the manner of determining the current position information is also different, and three of them are listed below for description, and certainly, in the specific implementation process, the method is not limited to the following three cases.

First, the positioning information received by the positioning device is the first location information, and in this case, the first location information may be directly used as the current location information of the positioning device.

Second, the positioning information is satellite information used for performing GPS positioning on the positioning device, in which case, the positioning device may be GPS-positioned based on the satellite information, and then the second position information of the positioning device is determined.

After determining the second location information, the positioning device may directly use the second location information as the current location information, and as another optional embodiment, the method further includes:

the positioning equipment sends the second position information to a proxy server through a network of a mobile communication operator, the second position information is sent to the position server by the proxy server, and the position server is used for determining the current position information of the positioning equipment by integrating the first position information and the second position information;

the positioning device receives current position information sent by the proxy server through a network of a mobile communication operator, and the current position information is sent to the proxy server by the position server.

Specifically, after determining the second location information of the positioning device by GPS positioning, the positioning device may send the second location information to the location server again through the proxy server, and the location server integrates the first location information and the second location information to obtain more accurate current location information, for example: the location server may take a midpoint of the first location information and the second location information as current location information, and the location server may obtain the current location information by performing fine adjustment on the second location information through the first location information, and so on.

Thirdly, the positioning information includes the first position information and satellite information for GPS positioning, in which case the positioning device may first perform GPS positioning on the positioning device based on the satellite information, and then determine the second position information of the positioning device; and finally, the current position information of the positioning device is determined by integrating the first position information and the second position information, and the mode of acquiring the current position information by the positioning device based on the first position information and the second position information is similar to that of the position server, so that the description is omitted here.

In the implementation process, the positioning device may send the current location information to the proxy server at multiple occasions, which are described below by listing two occasions, but is not limited to the following two cases in the implementation process.

First, after detecting current location information, the positioning device sends the current location information to a proxy server;

secondly, the positioning equipment judges whether the distance between the current position and the preset position is greater than the preset distance or not based on the current position information; and when the distance is greater than the preset distance, sending the current position information to the proxy server.

For example, the preset positions are: the method comprises the steps that the current position information is sent to a proxy server by the positioning device, so that the proxy server sends the current position information to another electronic device (for example, the electronic device where a guardian of the old or the child is located), the guardian can know the position of a user wearing the positioning device as soon as possible, and the safety of the user wearing the positioning device can be guaranteed through the scheme.

In this case, as another optional embodiment, when the positioning device determines that the distance between the positioning device and the preset position is greater than the preset distance, the positioning device may further send alarm information to a preset communication identifier, where the alarm information carries current position information. The preset communication identifier is, for example, a communication identifier of a guardian of a user wearing the positioning device, a public alarm telephone, and the like, where the preset communication identifier may be a telephone number or account information of instant chat software, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In a specific implementation process, in order to ensure that all or part of data traffic in a process of accessing a network by a positioning device is included in a specified service provider, a positioning device needs to determine a proxy server providing a streaming-free service for the positioning device, please continue to refer to fig. 1, and the proxy server may be determined through the following steps:

step S101: the positioning equipment sends a positioning request to a distribution server through a network of a mobile communication operator, wherein the positioning request comprises identification information and identity authentication information of the positioning equipment;

step S102, the distribution server judges whether the communication identification has the flow-free authority or not based on the identification information and the identity authentication information;

step S103: and when the distribution server determines that the identification information has the traffic-free right, the distribution server distributes a proxy server for the positioning equipment to access the network in a traffic-free mode to the positioning equipment.

For example, before step S101, the positioning device may bind, in advance, identification information (communication identifier or device identifier) of the positioning device at the distribution server by means of registration or the like, for example: the positioning device can firstly apply for a flow-free service from a distribution server, after receiving the application of the positioning device, the distribution server determines whether to distribute a flow-free authority to the device identifier according to some preset conditions (for example, whether the positioning device uses preset software, whether the device identifier of the positioning device represents that the positioning device is manufactured by a preset manufacturer, and the like), and if the distribution server determines to distribute the flow-free authority to the device identifier, the distribution server sends a UserKey (user password) to the positioning device as identity authentication information; further, in order to ensure that there is no situation that other users apply for the traffic exemption permission by using the communication identifier of the positioning device, the distribution server may first send an authentication code to the communication identifier of the positioning device, and after the user of the positioning device successfully fills the authentication code, the user of the positioning device allocates the authentication information to the positioning device to access the network.

In addition, when providing the stream-exempting service for the network access process of the positioning device, the distribution server may have no traffic limitation, or may have a traffic limitation, where the absence of the traffic limitation means that no matter how much traffic is used by the positioning device in the network access process, the positioning device is provided with a stream-exempting right as long as the stream-exempting requirement is met, for example: the distribution server may set the VIP identity for device identifications of certain positioning devices (e.g., positioning devices manufactured by a particular vendor, positioning devices using a particular type of operating system, etc.), thereby providing an unlimited amount of exemption for device identifications of those positioning devices, or the distribution server may set the VIP identity for communication identifications using a particular mobile carrier network, etc.; and there may be a traffic restriction for non-VIP users, where the presence of a traffic restriction refers to allocation of a specific traffic for each predetermined period of time for the location device, and if the total traffic cumulatively used by the location device in accessing the network does not exceed the specific traffic, then the location device is allocated a traffic exempt authority if it meets the traffic exempt requirement, and if the total traffic used by the location device in accessing the network exceeds the specific traffic, then the location device is not allocated the traffic exempt authority, for example; a 30M free traffic, a 50M free traffic, etc. may be allocated for a positioning device for one month.

In an alternative embodiment, if there is a traffic limitation on the free traffic that the distribution server allocates to the location device, the user of the location device may also obtain the data traffic that the distribution server rewards through some activities, such as: the pointing device clicks on a predetermined advertisement, clicks on a predetermined web page, downloads a predetermined APP, etc., in which case the distribution server may increase the data traffic allocated for the pointing device, e.g., 30M, 40M, etc.

Further in step S101, if the positioning device needs to access the network, for example: when detecting that the positioning device needs to receive a position acquisition request sent by another electronic device, or detecting that the positioning device sends a positioning signal to the base station to acquire current position information, etc., the positioning device first accesses the network through its communication identifier, and then sends its own identification information and authentication information to a distribution server, etc.

In step S102, the distribution server determines whether the received authentication information of the device identification information matches with the pre-stored authentication information of the identification information, and if so, indicates that the corresponding positioning device has the traffic exemption permission, otherwise indicates that the corresponding positioning device does not have the traffic exemption permission.

In step S103, if the distribution server does not have flow limitation when allocating the flow-free right to the device identifier positioning device, the distribution server may directly allocate a proxy server to the device identifier positioning device after determining that the identifier information of the device identifier positioning device has the flow-free right, and if the distribution server has flow limitation when allocating the flow-free right to the device identifier positioning device, the distribution server needs to determine whether the remaining flow exceeds a threshold value after determining that the identifier information of the device identifier positioning device has the flow-free right, and allocates the proxy server to the device identifier positioning device when the remaining flow exceeds the threshold value, where the processing procedure specifically includes the following steps: acquiring free residual flow information of the identification information of the positioning equipment, which is charged by adopting a charging mode of a specified service provider; judging whether the free remaining traffic of the identification information is greater than a preset amount (such as the foregoing threshold) based on the free remaining traffic information; and when the free residual flow is larger than the preset amount, distributing a proxy server for the identification information.

In general, one of the functions of the distribution server is to count the free remaining traffic information of the identification information, and the preset amount is, for example: 0M, 1M, 512K and the like, wherein if the free residual flow is larger than the preset amount, the flow-free residual flow can meet the network access in the normal condition, so that a proxy server can be allocated to the flow-free residual flow; and if the free residual flow is not greater than the preset amount, the situation is shown that the free residual flow cannot meet the current network access under the normal condition, so that the proxy server is not allocated to the free residual flow.

When the distribution server allocates a proxy server to a positioning device, the distribution server may select a proxy server closest to the physical location of the positioning device from a plurality of proxy servers to allocate to the positioning device, may select a proxy server with the lightest network load to allocate to the positioning device, or select a proxy server with the lowest network delay to allocate to the positioning device, or the like, or select the distribution server by taking comprehensive consideration of at least two policies of the plurality of distribution policies, and as to what manner the distribution server adopts to allocate the proxy server to the positioning device, the embodiments of the present invention are not listed in detail and are not limited.

As an optional embodiment, under the condition that the traffic-free permission of the identification information allocated to the positioning device by the distribution server is not limited by traffic, if the identification information of the positioning device has the traffic-free permission, the distribution server may generate temporary verification information (token) for the positioning device to access the network at this time; alternatively, when the distribution server has traffic limitation in the traffic exemption authority of the identification information assigned to the positioning device, the distribution server may generate the temporary verification information if the identification information has the traffic exemption authority and the identification information has a free remaining traffic.

In addition, in order to ensure that the subsequent positioning device can be connected to the proxy server, the distribution server needs to send some data to the proxy server, and four data are listed below for description, and of course, in the implementation process, the following four cases are not limited. Firstly, a distribution server sends a communication identifier of a positioning device to a proxy server; the distributing server sends the communication identification and the temporary verification information of the positioning equipment to the proxy server; thirdly, the distribution server sends the communication identification and the free residual flow of the positioning equipment to the proxy server; and fourthly, the distribution server sends the communication identification, the free residual flow and the temporary verification information of the positioning equipment to the proxy server.

In addition, the address information of the proxy server also needs to be provided to the positioning device, wherein the address information of the proxy server can be directly sent to the positioning device by the distribution server; the proxy server may also send the communication identifier of the positioning device to the positioning device after receiving the communication identifier of the positioning device. As shown in step S104 of fig. 1, it is a procedure of the positioning apparatus to which the address information of the proxy server is transmitted by the distribution server.

In a specific implementation process, the fact that all data traffic in a process of accessing the network by the positioning device is counted in a specified service provider means that in the process of accessing the network, no matter how much data traffic is consumed by the positioning device, the data traffic is counted in the data traffic consumed by the specified service provider.

However, part of the data traffic in the process of accessing the network by the positioning device is counted into the data traffic consumed by the designated service provider, and may be divided into a plurality of cases, two of which are listed below for introduction, and certainly, in the specific implementation process, the data traffic is not limited to the following two cases.

First, a certain percentage of the data traffic during the network access of the positioning device is accounted for by the data traffic consumed by the designated service provider.

For example, the specific ratios are, for example: 50%, 70%, etc., wherein the charging system, when determining that the positioning device has the traffic-free authority in accessing the network (for example, the data transmission carries the traffic-free identifier), credits a specific proportion of the charging system to the designated service provider, and credits the rest of the charging system to the communication identifier, for example: assuming that the positioning device consumes 10M of traffic in the network accessing process, and the specific proportion is 50%, the charging system counts 5M of traffic into the designated service provider during charging, and counts the rest 5M of traffic into the communication identifier of the positioning device. Of course, the above data are by way of example only and not by way of limitation.

Second, a certain amount of data traffic during the location device's access to the network is accounted for by the data traffic consumed by the designated service provider.

For example, the specific number is, for example: 10M, 20M and the like, wherein when the charging system determines that the positioning device has a traffic-free permission (for example, the data transmission carries a traffic-free identifier) in the network access process, after the network access process is finished, the charging system judges whether the data traffic in the network access process exceeds the specific quantity, and if not, all the data traffic is counted into a specified service provider; if the specified amount is exceeded, no more than a portion of the data traffic is included in the designated service provider and more than a portion is included in the communication identification of the locating device.

Third, the data traffic for a particular piece of content during the process of accessing the network by the positioning device is credited to the designated facilitator.

For example, the specific content is, for example: when the positioning equipment has the traffic-free right in the network access process, the corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected with the corresponding network) acquires data transmitted in the network access process, then determines the data such as the characters and the pictures from the data transmitted in the network access process, and records the corresponding data traffic into a specified service provider; while for other types of content, for example: and the video counts the corresponding data flow into the communication identifier of the positioning equipment.

In step S120, if the distribution server does not allocate the temporary verification information for the current network access process in steps S101 to S103, the positioning device directly sends the current location information to the proxy server; if the distribution server distributes the temporary verification information for the network access process in the steps S101 to S103, the positioning device sends the current position information carrying the temporary verification information to the proxy server. After the proxy server receives the current position information sent by the positioning equipment, the proxy server can actively send the current position information to another electronic equipment, and the proxy server can also respond to a position acquisition request sent by the electronic equipment; then, the location information (which may be current location information or historical location information) collected by the positioning device is sent to the electronic device based on the location obtaining request, wherein when the proxy server sends the current location information to the electronic device in response to the request of the electronic device, the proxy server may first perform an authorization authentication on the location obtaining request, specifically: the position acquisition request comprises authority authentication information of the electronic equipment, and the proxy server judges whether the electronic equipment has the authority to acquire the current position information or not based on the authority authentication information; and when the proxy server determines that the electronic equipment has the right, the current position information is sent to the electronic equipment. The process of performing the authority authentication on the electronic device by the proxy server is similar to the process of performing the authority authentication on the electronic device by the positioning device, and therefore, the description is omitted here.

In a specific implementation process, the proxy server may directly provide a traffic-free service for the positioning device after receiving current location information sent by the positioning device, and then send the current location information to another electronic device actively or in response to a request of another electronic device or store the current location information in the proxy server, and based on different information sent to the proxy server before the distribution server, the proxy server may also perform some verification processes first, and the positioning device can provide the traffic-free service only after the verification is passed, and the following three verification processes are listed for description, but of course, in the specific implementation process, the present invention is not limited to the following three cases.

The data sent by the distribution server to the proxy server comprises a communication identifier and temporary verification information of the positioning equipment, and under the condition, the current position information sent by the positioning equipment also comprises the temporary verification information, so that when the proxy server verifies that the flow-free authority of the positioning equipment is legal through the temporary verification information, the current position information is stored in the proxy server or sent to another electronic equipment; the proxy server matches the temporary verification information sent by the positioning equipment with the temporary verification information sent by the distribution server, if the matching is successful, the data access request is legal, otherwise, the data access request is illegal. By the scheme, the security of the network access process can be ensured.

If the data sent by the distribution server to the proxy server comprises the communication identifier of the positioning equipment and the free residual flow information, the proxy server firstly judges whether the latest free residual flow of the communication identifier is greater than the preset amount based on the free residual flow information after receiving the current position information; when the latest free remaining traffic information is greater than the preset amount, a traffic-free server is provided for the mobile terminal, for example: storing the current position information in a proxy server or transmitting the current position information to another electronic device; and if the latest free residual flow information is not greater than the preset amount, informing the positioning equipment, and uploading the current position information to a network or sending the current position information to another electronic equipment by the positioning equipment through another access path. Through the scheme, a specified service provider can provide a specific amount of free data flow to the positioning equipment.

If the distribution server judges that the free residual flow of the equipment identifier is larger than the preset amount, the proxy server does not need to judge whether the latest free residual flow (namely the free residual flow sent by the distribution server) is larger than the preset amount when receiving the current position information for the first time; the data traffic consumed by the positioning device for the network access request is directly counted, and then the data traffic is subtracted from the free residual traffic sent by the distribution server, so that the latest free data traffic can be obtained; whether to send the data access request to the resource server can be determined subsequently by judging whether the latest free data flow is larger than a preset amount.

In addition, the proxy server can also count the data traffic information consumed by the communication identifier according to a preset counting period, and acquire the latest free residual traffic information of which the positioning device has the traffic-free permission.

For example, the preset statistical period may be, for example, a preset statistical time interval, the preset statistical time interval may be, for example, 30s, 50s, 1min, and the like, and the proxy server may set a timer, acquire, every time the preset time interval arrives, the data traffic consumed by the positioning device counted in the current time interval, and obtain the latest free remaining traffic information of the positioning device based on the data traffic statistics.

The preset statistical period is, for example: the method comprises the steps that preset statistical flow is 512k, 1M and the like, a proxy server can monitor data flow consumed by the positioning equipment, and when the preset statistical flow is consumed, the latest free residual flow information of the positioning equipment is determined according to the preset statistical flow.

Through the scheme, the latest free residual flow information of the positioning equipment can be ensured to be obtained in time.

Of course, after the data traffic information consumed by the positioning device is counted by the proxy server in the counting period, the data traffic information may also be sent to the distribution server, and the distribution server may count the latest free remaining traffic information identified by the device. If the identification information of the positioning device is a communication identification, the distribution server directly subtracts the data traffic consumed by the communication identification at this time from the free residual traffic before the communication identification, and then obtains the latest free residual traffic information of the communication identification.

If the identification information of the positioning device is the device identification, the distribution server stores the corresponding relationship between the communication identification of the positioning device and the device identification, and after the distribution server receives the data traffic information consumed by the communication identification sent by the proxy server, the distribution server corresponds the data traffic information to the corresponding device identification, and then subtracts the data traffic consumed by the communication identification from the free residual traffic information of the device identification, so as to obtain the latest free residual traffic information of the device identification.

After obtaining the data traffic information consumed by the positioning device, the distribution server can also send the data traffic information to the positioning device or inform the data traffic information when the positioning device inquires; or after determining the latest free remaining flow information of the device identifier, the distribution server can also send the latest free remaining flow information to the positioning device, so that the positioning device can further know the current flow use condition, and then a better network access strategy is selected. Or upon inquiry by a location device.

And thirdly, the data sent by the distribution server to the proxy server comprises identification information of the positioning device, free residual flow information and temporary verification information, and under the condition, the proxy server adopts the resource server to acquire the requested data when the temporary verification information verifies that the data access request is legal and the latest free residual flow information is larger than the preset amount. By the scheme, the security of the network access process can be ensured, and the appointed service provider can be ensured to provide a preset amount of free flow to the positioning equipment.

The flow-free identifier may be a plurality of different forms of flow-free identifiers, and two of them are listed below for description, and certainly, in the specific implementation process, the flow-free identifier is not limited to the following two cases.

The proxy server sends a preset label to the positioning equipment after receiving the communication identifier of the positioning equipment sent by the distribution server and before receiving the current position information sent by the positioning equipment, and the preset label is carried when the positioning equipment carries out data transmission in the process of accessing the network and is a flow-free identifier.

And secondly, the IP address of the proxy server distributed by the distribution server for the positioning equipment is a preset IP address, and the preset IP address is the flow-free identifier.

In a specific implementation process, data in a process that the positioning device accesses the network includes uplink data and downlink data, where the uplink data is data (e.g., current location information, first location information, and the like) sent by the positioning device to the proxy server, and the downlink data is data (e.g., positioning information, current location information determined by the location server integrating the first location information and the second location information, and the like) sent by the proxy server to the positioning device, where data traffic of at least one of the uplink data and the downlink data is included in a specified service provider.

If uplink data (such as current position information, first position information and the like) sent to the proxy server by the positioning equipment contains a flow-free identifier, the data flow corresponding to the uplink data is included in a specified service provider based on the flow-free identifier; and if the proxy server sends the downstream data to the positioning equipment, the downstream data carries the traffic-free identifier, and then the downstream data is counted into the designated service provider based on the traffic-free identifier.

If the traffic-free identifier is a preset identifier, adding a preset label to the uplink data by the mobile terminal; the downlink data is preset with an identifier on the proxy server; if the traffic-free identifier is the preset IP, the uplink data and the downlink data pass through the proxy server containing the preset IP, so that the traffic-free identifier is directly carried in the address information of the proxy server through which the uplink data and the downlink data pass.

In the specific implementation process, data traffic in the process of accessing the network by the positioning device can be counted through the gateway arranged between the positioning device and the proxy server.

Aiming at the condition that the flow-free identifier is a preset IP, after receiving uplink data sent by the positioning equipment, the corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected with the corresponding network) judges whether the IP of the next node corresponding to the data access request is the preset IP, if so, the data flow of the next node is counted into a specified service provider, after receiving downlink data sent by the proxy server, the corresponding gateway (or the charging system connected with the corresponding network) judges whether the IP of the proxy server is the preset IP, and if so, the data flow of the proxy server is counted into the data flow of the specified service provider; in the case that the traffic-free identifier is a preset tag, after receiving uplink data (or downlink data sent by a proxy server) sent by a positioning device, a corresponding gateway (or a charging system connected to a corresponding network) determines whether the uplink data (or the downlink data) includes the preset tag, and if the uplink data (or the downlink data) includes the preset tag, the corresponding gateway counts the data traffic of the gateway into a specified service provider.

As an alternative embodiment, with continued reference to fig. 1, the method further includes:

step S130: judging whether any data access request of the positioning equipment is received within a preset time period;

step S140: and if any data access request of the positioning equipment is not received within a preset time period, prompting that the positioning equipment exits the login.

For example, the preset time period is, for example: 10min, 30min, 40min and so on, if the proxy server does not receive any data access request sent by the positioning device within the preset time period, it indicates that the process of the positioning device accessing the network is finished, so a corresponding prompt message can be generated. Further, the proxy server may also send the hint information to the distribution server after generating the hint information.

In this case, if the temporary authentication information is previously allocated to the current network access procedure by the distribution server, the distribution server cancels the temporary authentication information based on the prompt information transmitted from the proxy server, and the proxy server also cancels the temporary authentication information. By the scheme, the distributed temporary verification information can be ensured to be only used as the verification information in the network access process at this time, and new temporary verification information still needs to be generated in the next network access, so that the security of the network access is improved.

As an alternative embodiment, if the proxy server prompts the positioning device to log out, please continue to refer to fig. 1, the method further includes:

step S150: the proxy server sends the initial internet surfing time, the end internet surfing time and the consumed data traffic information of the positioning equipment to the distribution server;

step S160: and the distribution server counts the free residual flow of the positioning equipment based on the data flow information sent by the proxy server.

For example, the proxy server may send the distribution server the information shown in table 1:

TABLE 1

Starting time	End time	Consumed data traffic information
			2015-4-1514:23	2015-4-1514:44	1.6M

Assuming that the total free data traffic allocated by the distribution server for the identification information of the positioning device is: 30M, and the device identifier of the positioning device is before the network access and consumes 20M traffic, it can be determined that the free remaining traffic of the identification information of the positioning device after the network access process is: 10M-1.6M ═ 8.4M. Of course, the above data traffic is by way of example only and not by way of limitation.
