Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a commodity or system that includes the element.
In addition, the sequence of steps in each method embodiment described below is only an example and is not strictly limited.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a positioning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to a mobile body, as shown in fig. 1, and the method includes the following steps:
101. a moving body moving on a first road surface or a second road surface receives a signal emitted by a signal emitter disposed on the first road surface, the first road surface and the second road surface being two road surfaces of different heights.
102. The height at which the mobile body is located is determined based on the signal characteristics of the received signal.
The moving body, the signal transmitter, the signal receiver, the first road surface, and the second road surface referred to herein will be briefly described.
The mobile body may be any device with a moving capability, such as a vehicle or a movable robot, or may be a user terminal device that passively moves along with the movement of a person, such as a mobile phone or a wearable device. The device may have data processing capabilities and communication capabilities, for example, one or more processors and memories in the device, and to implement the communication capabilities, the device may further have one or more communication devices including a signal receiver corresponding to the signal transmitter.
As indicated above: the first road surface and the second road surface are two road surfaces with different heights, and are usually found in a viaduct scene in real life, that is, a moving body can move on the viaduct and under the viaduct, for example, a vehicle can run on the viaduct in the east-west direction and can also run under the viaduct in the same direction. In this scenario, the first road surface and the second road surface are an over-bridge road surface and an under-bridge road surface, respectively. Of course, the method is not limited to the viaduct scenario, and the first road surface and the second road surface meeting the characteristic in any other scenario are all applicable to the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention.
It will be appreciated that it is not required here that the first and second road surfaces are perfectly parallel in the vertical direction. In short, the moving body can move in a uniform direction both above and below the bridge, and the uniform direction means that the entire moving tendency is the same.
The signal transmitter herein may be deployed on a first road surface or alternatively, may be deployed on a second road surface, with the signal receiver being located on the mobile body. In practical applications, taking the example that the signal emitter is deployed on the first road surface, the signal emitter may be laid on a roadbed of the first road surface, or may be installed at another facility provided on the first road surface, such as a certain position on a street lamp, for example, the top of a street lamp post.
As shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 illustrates a case where signal transmitters are installed on a plurality of lamp posts on a first road surface (e.g., a road surface on a bridge).
In addition, in order to satisfy a situation where the mobile body can move at a high speed, such as a situation where the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the signal transmitter and the signal receiver may be selected from communication devices supporting a high-speed transmission rate, such as communication devices supporting a 5G (fifth generation mobile communication technology) communication protocol.
The core purpose of the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention is as follows: assume that the moving body is currently located on two road surfaces with different heights: the first road surface and the second road surface are required to determine whether the road surface on which the mobile body is currently located is the first road surface or the second road surface, that is, to determine the height of the mobile body.
To achieve this, a specific certain signal transmitter, such as a signal transmitter supporting 5G communication capability, may be installed on the first road surface or the second road surface.
The following description will be given taking an example in which the signal transmitter is mounted on the first road surface.
It will be appreciated that a plurality of signal emitters may be mounted at spaced intervals on the first road surface, and that one or more signal emitters may be provided at each end of the first road surface in order to achieve positioning of the road surface on which the mobile body is located, in the vicinity of the junction between the first road surface and the second road surface. Wherein each signal transmitter may be configured to transmit a specific signal, such as a broadcast transmission beacon signal, a probe signal, or other predetermined signal.
Based on the above, assuming that a mobile body is currently moving on a first road surface or a second road surface, and assuming that a signal receiver on the mobile body can receive a signal transmitted by a signal transmitter disposed on the first road surface, the mobile body can determine whether the road surface on which the mobile body is currently located is the first road surface or the second road surface according to the signal characteristics of the signal, thereby realizing the positioning of the height situation of the mobile body.
The following explains how the moving body determines the road surface on which the moving body is currently located according to the signal characteristics of the signal.
Optionally, the signal characteristics may include: signal strength or signal direction.
Assuming that the first road surface on which the signal emitter is installed is higher than the second road surface, for example, the first road surface is an over-bridge road surface, and the second road surface is an under-bridge road surface, the positioning of the height of the moving body can be realized by the following two alternative embodiments:
in an alternative embodiment, the mobile body may determine the height at which the mobile body is located based on the signal direction of the received signal, assuming that the deployment height of the signal transmitter on the first road surface is lower than the signal receiver on the mobile body.
The following is a detailed description of how to determine the height, i.e., the road surface, at which the mobile object is located according to the signal direction of the received signal in this alternative embodiment. Assuming that the moving body is currently located on the first road, since the signal receiver on the moving body is located at a higher elevation than the signal transmitter, the signal received by the moving body moving on the first road exhibits a bottom-up directional characteristic. Conversely, assuming that the mobile body is currently located on a second road surface, then even if the mobile body is able to receive the signal emitted by the signal emitter located on the first road surface, the signal will also exhibit a top-down directional characteristic. It follows that, in the case where the signal transmitter is disposed on a first road surface which is higher than the height of the signal receiver on the mobile body relative to the first road surface, if the signal received by the mobile body exhibits a bottom-up directional characteristic, it can be determined that the mobile body is located on the first road surface (i.e., located on the higher road surface), whereas if the signal received by the mobile body exhibits a top-down directional characteristic, it can be determined that the mobile body is located on a second road surface (i.e., located on the lower road surface).
It should be noted that, in practical applications, the antenna array of the signal transmitter may be set according to practical requirements, so that the signal transmitted by the signal transmitter has a suitable coverage angle and strength.
In another alternative embodiment, the mobile body may determine the altitude at which the mobile body is located based on the signal strength of the signal, assuming that the deployment altitude of the signal transmitter on the first road surface is higher than the signal receiver on the mobile body.
The following is a detailed description of how to determine the height at which the mobile object is located, i.e., the road surface, based on the signal strength of the received signal in this alternative embodiment. Suppose that the moving object is currently located on the first road, and suppose that the signal intensity of a signal transmitted by a certain signal transmitter received by the moving object at the moment is A. Further assume that the moving body is currently located on the second road, and assume that the moving body receives the same signal transmitted by the signal transmitter at this time with signal strength B. It can be understood that the horizontal direction positions (longitude and latitude positions) of the moving body on the first road and the second road are not greatly different. Since the signal transmitter is located on the first road surface, the signal strength a is greater than the signal strength B according to the characteristic that the strength of the wireless signal attenuates as the distance increases. Therefore, in practical applications, a certain threshold may be set according to a test, so that, in a case where the signal transmitter is disposed on a higher first road surface and the disposition height of the signal transmitter on the first road surface is higher than the height of the signal receiver on the mobile body with respect to the first road surface, if the strength of the signal received by the mobile body is greater than the threshold, it may be determined that the mobile body is located on the first road surface, whereas if the strength of the signal received by the mobile body is less than the threshold, it may be determined that the mobile body is located on the second road surface.
Based on the principles of the two alternative embodiments, if the signal transmitter is deployed on a second lower road surface, the mobile body may also determine the height, i.e. the road surface, according to the signal direction and the signal strength of the transmitted signal. For example, if the height of the position of the signal transmitter mounted on the second lower road surface is lower than the height of the position of the signal receiver on the mobile body with respect to the second road surface, the height at which the mobile body is located can be determined based on the signal strength of the received signal. If the height of the position of the signal transmitter installed on the second lower road surface is higher than the height of the position of the signal receiver on the mobile body with respect to the second road surface, the height at which the mobile body is located can be determined from the signal direction of the received signal.
In summary, a specific signal emitter is arranged on one of the two road surfaces, and a corresponding signal receiver is arranged on the moving body, so that the moving body can accurately locate the height of the moving body based on the received characteristics of the signal emitted by the signal emitter.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of another positioning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:
301. a moving body moving on a first road surface or a second road surface receives a signal emitted by a signal emitter disposed on the first road surface, the first road surface and the second road surface being two road surfaces of different heights.
302. And inquiring the road surface description information corresponding to the equipment identification according to the equipment identification of the signal transmitter contained in the received signal.
303. And determining the height of the moving body according to the inquired road surface description information.
Each signal transmitter has a unique device identification, which may be the device serial number, MAC address, etc. identification information of the signal transmitter. Many electronic devices may be connected to the internet based on the development of the I Pv6 technology, upon which a network address (I P address) may be assigned to each signal transmitter, and thus the device identification may also be the assigned network address.
In practical application, in the process of deploying the signal transmitter, a corresponding relation between the equipment identification of the signal transmitter and the description information of the pavement on which the signal transmitter is deployed can be established. For example, A, B, C three signal emitters are deployed on a road surface, the corresponding relationship between the description information of the road surface and the signal emitter a, the signal emitter B, and the signal emitter C can be established. The correspondence may be stored in the cloud. The road surface description information may include information indicating whether the road surface is an overhead road surface or an underground (ground) road surface, and may further include identification information of the road surface, such as a name. For example, assuming a bridge with the name X is located, the road surface on the bridge can be described as: on the X-bridge, the under-bridge pavement can be described as: under the X bridge.
Additionally, the signal transmitter may also be configured to periodically transmit a signal carrying its device identification at short time intervals. Moreover, the intensity and direction of the signal emitted by the signal emitter can be configured, so that the signal only covers the road surface where the signal emitter is located, and the signal does not cover other road surfaces which are adjacent up and down. Therefore, assuming that the signal emitter is disposed on the first road, after receiving the signal which is emitted by the mobile body and contains the equipment identifier, the mobile body moving on the first road can obtain the corresponding road description information according to the equipment identifier, so that whether the mobile body is located on the first road or on a second road above or below the first road can be known according to the road description information.
Taking a moving body as a vehicle, a first road surface as an over-bridge road surface and a second road surface as an under-bridge road surface as an example, an execution process of the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the invention in a vehicle navigation scene is exemplarily described below.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of another positioning method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps:
401. and positioning the longitude and latitude position of the vehicle on the navigation map.
402. And if the longitude and latitude positions are determined to have the bridges according to the bridge information contained in the navigation map, starting the signal receiver.
403. And receiving signals transmitted by signal transmitters arranged on the road surface on the bridge.
404. And determining the road surface on which the vehicle is positioned according to the signal characteristics of the signal.
I.e. the height at which the vehicle is located is determined on the basis of the signal characteristics of the signal.
405. And positioning the vehicle to a position corresponding to the longitude and latitude positions of the vehicle on the road surface above the bridge or the road surface below the bridge on the navigation map according to the positioning result of the road surface on which the vehicle is positioned.
Before specifically describing the positioning method provided by the embodiment, the necessity of positioning the vehicle on the viaduct or under the viaduct in the vehicle navigation scene is briefly described.
During actual driving, such experience is encountered: the user is clearly driving on the viaduct, but the navigation gives prompt information such as a left turn m meters ahead, a traffic light n meters ahead and the like; or the user is clear to be driving under the viaduct, the front is provided with a red light, but the navigation gives prompt information such as please go straight. These situations occur primarily because of the inability to accurately locate whether the vehicle is currently located on or under the bridge.
Therefore, the positioning method provided by the embodiment can accurately position whether the vehicle is on the bridge or under the bridge.
Specifically, assuming that the user uses a navigation application during the current driving, the longitude and latitude position of the vehicle can be located on the navigation map based on the conventional positioning method. Such as a GPS positioning method. That is, as the vehicle moves, the latitude and longitude positions of the vehicle can be located on the navigation map in real time.
Besides the real-time longitude and latitude positions of the vehicles, the navigation map also comprises map elements such as buildings, bridges and the like. Based on the bridge information contained on the navigation map, the signal receiver may be turned on if it is found that the vehicle has a bridge at the current longitude and latitude position. Based on the method, the signal receiver can be started when the vehicle runs to the fork of the bridge and the fork under the bridge. Therefore, the resource endless consumption caused by the signal receiver always keeping the working state is avoided.
If the signal transmitter is deployed on the road surface on the bridge, the signal receiver is turned on, so that the signal transmitted by the signal transmitter on the bridge can be received, and the road surface on which the vehicle is located can be determined based on the signal characteristics of the received signal, namely, whether the vehicle is located on the bridge or under the bridge is determined. For a specific positioning process, reference may be made to the description in the foregoing embodiments, which is not described in detail.
When the vehicle obtains the positioning result of the road surface where the vehicle is located, the vehicle can be positioned to the position corresponding to the longitude and latitude position of the vehicle on the road surface above the bridge or on the road surface below the bridge on the navigation map. That is, if the positioning result indicates that the vehicle is currently on the bridge, marking the vehicle at a position on the road surface on the bridge corresponding to the longitude and latitude position to indicate that the vehicle is currently located at the longitude and latitude position on the bridge; on the contrary, if the positioning result indicates that the vehicle is currently under the bridge, the vehicle is marked at the position corresponding to the longitude and latitude position on the road surface under the bridge so as to indicate that the vehicle is currently positioned at the longitude and latitude position under the bridge.
Based on the positioning result of the vehicle on the bridge or under the bridge, the navigation application can make the driving guide more accurately.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a navigation method, as shown in fig. 5, the method may include the following steps:
501. a vehicle moving on a first road surface or a second road surface receives signals transmitted by a signal transmitter arranged on the first road surface, wherein the first road surface and the second road surface are two road surfaces with different heights.
502. The height at which the vehicle is located is determined from the signal characteristics of the signal.
As mentioned above, in practical applications, the first road surface and the second road surface may be an over-bridge road surface and an under-bridge road surface of the viaduct, respectively. At this time, the height of the vehicle is determined, which is actually to determine whether the vehicle is on the first road surface or the second road surface, and the specific determination process can be referred to the description in the foregoing embodiment.
Optionally, the navigation method may further include the steps of:
503. the longitude and latitude positions of the vehicle are obtained.
504. And positioning the vehicle to a position corresponding to the longitude and latitude position on a target road surface corresponding to the height in the navigation map, wherein the target road surface is a first road surface or a second road surface corresponding to the height at which the vehicle is positioned.
505. And outputting corresponding navigation information according to the positioning result of the vehicle position.
If the current height condition of the vehicle is determined to be on the first road surface or the second road surface, and if the vehicle is located on the first road surface, the accurate position of the vehicle on the first road surface can be accurately located by combining the longitude and latitude positions of the current vehicle. Therefore, corresponding navigation information can be output according to the positioning result of the vehicle position.
The positioning device of one or more embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
