The Embedded smart card 220 is an eSIM (Embedded-SIM) card, which is a concept in which a conventional SIM card is directly Embedded in a device chip, rather than being added to a device as an independent removable component. After the eSIM card is set on the tracker 10, the user does not need to insert a physical SIM card. The eSIM card can allow a user to select an operator package more flexibly, or change the operator at any time on the premise of not unlocking the equipment and purchasing new equipment. The embedded smart card 220 is configured to facilitate the tracker 10 to maintain good network communication for wireless transmission of information. In addition, the embedded smart card 220 is used to generate identification information for the tracked object.

Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment of the present application, the information processing apparatus 300 includes an information storage apparatus 310 and an information transmission apparatus 320.
The information storage device 310 is electrically and signal-connected to the information generating device 200, and is configured to store the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. The information storage device 310 is a memory or a memory chip integrated on the NB internet of things module, and may be specifically selected according to actual needs, which is not limited in the present application. When the positioning information generating device 210, that is, the GPS chip generates the positioning information of the tracked object, the GPS chip transmits the positioning information of the tracked object to the information storage device 310, and the information storage device 310 stores the positioning information. The identification information of the tracked object on the embedded smart card 220 may also be transmitted to the information storage device 310 and stored by the information storage device 310. When the NB internet of things module reenters the PSM mode from the wakeup working mode and reenters the wakeup mode, the information storage device 310 may automatically clear the recorded positioning information and identification information of the tracked object and re-record the positioning information and identification information.
The information transmission device 320 is electrically connected and in signal connection with the information storage device 310, and the information transmission device 320 is used for wirelessly transmitting the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. The information transmission device 320 may be an antenna, or may be other wireless devices. In the present embodiment, only the case where the information transmission device 320 is an antenna will be described. The information transmission device 320 is electrically and signal-connected to the information storage device 310, so that the information transmission device 320 can acquire and transmit the information stored in the information storage device 310. The eSIM card can provide an operator network for the information transfer device 320. Therefore, the information transmission device 320 can wirelessly transmit the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object to a server terminal for analysis by a researcher. The information transmission device 320 only works when the NB internet of things module is in the wake-up working mode.
The information processing apparatus 300 according to this embodiment can not only transmit the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object to the server terminal, but also store the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object in the tracker 10. This provides a dual guarantee for the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object, and when the NB internet of things is in PSM mode, the information transmission device 320 is in an un-awake state, and then the researcher can obtain the movement track and the identification information of the animal by detaching the information storage device 310.

The charging hole 20 is used for connecting an external device to provide power to the power supply device 400, and the charging hole 20 may be disposed at any position of the tracker body 100 as long as it is electrically connected to the power supply device 400. The method can be selected according to actual needs, and the method is not limited in the application. The charging hole 20 allows the power supply device 400 to be charged without being detached from the tracker body 100, so that the charging and use of the tracker 10 are more convenient.
Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment of the present application, a method for tracking using the tracker 10 is provided. The method includes S10, determining whether the tracker 10 is in an awake state; s20, if not, waking up the tracker 10 by the wake-up device 500; s30, generating the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object by the information generating device 200; s40, storing and transmitting the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object by the information processing apparatus 300; s50, the information generating apparatus 200 and the information processing apparatus 300 are turned off.
The step S10 is to determine whether the tracker 10 is in the wake-up state. Specifically, the researcher can determine whether the tracker 10 is in the wake-up state by observing the server terminal. If the server terminal receives the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object transmitted from the tracker 10, it is determined that the tracker 10 is in the wake-up state. If the server terminal does not receive the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object transmitted from the tracker 10, it is determined that the tracker is in a non-awake state.
If not, the wake-up device 500 wakes up the tracker 10S 20. Specifically, the wake-up device 500 includes a tracker wake-up device 510 and a functional wake-up device 520. The wake-up of the tracker 10 is only called when the tracker wake-up device 510 and the functional wake-up device 520 are working together, i.e. the information processing apparatus 300 and the power supply apparatus 400 are waking up together.
In S30, the information generating device 200 generates the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. Specifically, the information generating apparatus 200 includes a positioning information generating apparatus 210 and an embedded smart card 220. The location information generating means 210 may generate location information of the tracked object, and the embedded smart card 200 may generate identification information of the tracked object.
The S40 stores and transmits the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object by using the information processing apparatus 300. The information processing apparatus 300 includes the information storage apparatus 310 and the information transmission apparatus 320. The information storage device 310 is electrically and signal-connected to the information generating device 200, and is configured to store the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. The information transmission device 320 is electrically connected and in signal connection with the information storage device 310, and is used for wirelessly transmitting the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. The storage and transmission of the location information and identification information of the tracked object by the information processing device 300, i.e., the storage of the location information and identification information of the tracked object by the information storage device 310, and the wireless transmission of the location information and identification information of the tracked object by the information transmission device 320 to a server terminal for use by a researcher.
S50, if the information processing apparatus 300 wake-up time exceeds a set value, the information processing apparatus 300 is turned off. After the information processing apparatus 300 transmits the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object to the server terminal, after a certain time, the NB internet of things module automatically enters the PSM mode, that is, the operations of the information generating apparatus 200 and the information processing apparatus 300 are closed, so that the power consumption of the tracker 10 is reduced. Under normal conditions, the NB internet of things module is always in the PSM mode, and if the tracker 10 needs to be used, the tracked object can be tracked through the S10, the S20, the S30, and the S40. It should be noted that, here, turning off the information processing apparatus 300 does not include turning off the information storage apparatus 310 in the information processing apparatus 300, but only turns off the information transmission apparatus 320 in the information processing apparatus 300. That is, after the information processing apparatus 300 is turned off, the information storage apparatus 310 can still store the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object generated by the information generating apparatus 200 in real time.
The method provided by this embodiment can accurately wake up the tracker 10 to operate when the tracker 10 needs to be used for tracking, and transmit the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object to the server terminal. The method can effectively judge the state of the tracker 10, so that the tracker 10 is more efficiently and accurately used. After the transmission of the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object is completed, the NB internet of things enters the PSM mode after a period of time, so that the power consumption of the tracker 10 can be reduced, and the service life of the power supply apparatus 400 can be greatly prolonged.
Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present application, S10 includes S110 determining whether the power supply device 400 is in the wake-up state, and S120 determining whether the information processing device 300 is in the wake-up state. It is determined whether the power supply apparatus 400 is in the wake-up state, i.e., whether the tracker 10 is in the power-on state. If the power supply apparatus 400 is already awake, it is determined whether the information generating apparatus 200 and the information processing apparatus 300 are in an awake state. If the information processing apparatus 300 is in the wake-up state, the server terminal may receive the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object transmitted by the tracker 10. If the power supply device 400 is in the wake-up state but none of the information processing devices 300 is woken up, the server terminal cannot receive the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object transmitted by the tracker 10.
Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment of the present application, the S20 includes S210 waking up the power device 400, and S220 waking up the information processing device 300. The waking up of the power device 400 is to turn on the power switch electrically connected to the power device 400. S220, waking up the information processing apparatus 300. Specifically, the S220 may be divided into a manual wake-up of the information processing apparatus 300 and an automatic wake-up of the information processing apparatus 300.
The manual wake-up means that a researcher wakes up the information processing apparatus 300 by pressing the wake-up switch 521 provided in the tracker body 100. The automatic wake-up of the information processing apparatus 300 is performed when the information processing apparatus 300 is designated. Specifically, when the NB internet of things needs to enter the PSM mode, an application for entering the PSM is sent in a request message center of the server, the network issues an enter grant message in a response message, and a first timer and a second timer are configured. When the first timer expires, the NB internet of things module enters the PSM mode, and at this time, the information processing apparatus 300 is not awake. After entering the PSM mode, if the second timer is over time, the NB internet of things module automatically wakes up the information processing apparatus 300 through the automatic wake-up unit 522, and at this time, the information processing apparatus 300 is in a wake-up state and can transmit the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. The timeout is the time exceeding a set time, and the set time may be set by a researcher or a user, which is not limited in the present application. If not, the tracker 10 defaults that the NB internet of things module automatically wakes up to 24 hours after entering PSM mode. It should be noted that, in the PSM mode, the tracker 10 does not turn off the information generating apparatus 200, that is, the information generating apparatus 200 still records the moving track of the tracked object. In addition, the information storage device 310 in the information processing device 300 is always in the wake-up state, that is, although the tracker 10 is in the low power consumption state, the information storage device 310 still stores the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object in real time.
When the NB internet of things module is powered on and powered off again, the information storage device 310 still stores the set time, and if there is no data transmission service within the set time after the NB internet of things module is awakened, the NB internet of things module can automatically enter a PSM mode. That is, the information processing apparatus 300 is not in the awake state, and does not transmit the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object to the server terminal. It should be noted that, no matter the NB internet of things module is awakened by pressing the awakening switch 521 or is automatically awakened by the automatic awakening unit 522, the NB internet of things module needs to complete data interaction and information NB wireless network communication within the set time of the first timer. After the first timer is expired, the NB internet of things module enters the PSM mode again, and in the PSM mode, the information generating apparatus 200 and the information storage apparatus 310 are still in the awake state, and the information transmitting apparatus 320 is in the state of not being awake.
In addition, after the NB internet of things module wakes up from the PSM mode, the NB internet of things module transmits the positioning information and the tracked object information of the tracked object to the server terminal through the information transmission device 320. Further, when the NB internet of things module enters the next PSM mode and wakes up again, the information storage device 310 automatically clears the data, and the information generation device 200 and the information storage device 310 re-record the positioning information and the identification information of the tracked object. It should be noted that the data stored in the information storage device 310 is also automatically cleared when the data amount reaches 90% of the storage. When the NB internet of things module enters the wakeup working mode again from the PSM mode, the information transmission device 320 transmits new positioning information and identification information of the tracked object, and so on. When a user needs to actively wake up the data stored in the NB internet of things module, the NB internet of things module can be waken up by pressing the wake-up switch 521, and the user can directly perform data interaction through a data transmission device arranged on the NB internet of things module.
To sum up, the tracker and the method for tracking by using the same provided by the embodiment of the present application, the tracker 10 can pass through the wake-up device 500 and the information transmission device 320 to perform timed data transmission, and the information storage device 310 can periodically clear stored data, thereby saving the storage space of the information storage device 310, reducing the power consumption of the tracker 10, and solving the problems of large power consumption and short battery working time of animal tracking equipment in the conventional scheme.
