Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the following further detailed description is made on the background art related to the present application:

currently, when a terminal device performs positioning, for example, positioning may be performed based on GPS, or positioning may also be performed based on a base station, or positioning may also be performed based on Wi-Fi, and these implementations and their existing drawbacks are respectively described below.

In the implementation mode of positioning based on the GPS, the terminal device may send its own position signal to the positioning background based on a GPS positioning module on the terminal device, thereby implementing positioning of the terminal device.

However, in the implementation of positioning based on GPS, the GPS positioning module may search for satellite signals for a long time in a state where the terminal device has no network, and may download ephemeris of a current satellite in a state where the terminal device has a network, thereby consuming a large amount of traffic. Optionally, when the terminal device performs positioning based on the GPS, the positioning accuracy needs to be adjusted continuously because satellite signals need to be searched continuously, so that the GPS positioning module of the terminal device consumes more power.

In an implementation of positioning based on a base station, that is, Global System for Mobile Communications (GPS) cellular base station positioning, optionally, under a Mobile communication network, the base station may be utilized to measure a distance of a terminal device, so as to determine a location of the terminal device based on the distance.

However, in the implementation manner of positioning based on the base station, there is a network access requirement for the terminal device, and the positioning of the terminal device can be implemented only when the terminal device opens the mobile communication network or WiFi, so that the positioning scenario of the terminal device is limited. Moreover, the positioning accuracy in this implementation may be affected by the environment and the number of base stations around the terminal device, which may result in low accuracy of positioning of the terminal device.

In the implementation mode of positioning based on WiFi, AP signals around the terminal device may be scanned and collected under the condition that the terminal device turns on WiFi, an MAC address broadcasted by the AP is obtained, then the terminal device sends data capable of indicating the AP to the location server, and the location server retrieves the geographical location of each AP, and calculates the geographical location of the device and returns the geographical location to the user device in combination with the strength of each signal.

However, in an implementation manner of positioning based on WiFi, for example, WiFi of a terminal device is turned on, and there is a requirement for network access of the terminal device, and the positioning of the terminal device may be implemented only when the terminal device turns on a mobile communication network or WiFi, so that a positioning scenario of the terminal device is limited.

In summary, in various possible implementation manners for implementing the positioning of the terminal device, the prior art has certain requirements on the terminal device network, so that in a state where the terminal device is not networked or is weakly networked, the prior art cannot effectively implement the positioning of the terminal device, and thus the positioning scene of the terminal device is limited.

Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the application provides the following technical conception: the area identification of the base station through which the terminal equipment passes and the position information corresponding to each area identification can be stored locally, so that the terminal equipment can obtain the position information corresponding to the area identification from the local according to the area identification of the current area in the state that the terminal equipment is in a non-network or weak-network state, and the terminal equipment can be accurately and effectively positioned in the non-network or weak-network state.

Optionally, the no-network state refers to that the terminal device is not connected to the network, and the weak-network state refers to that the terminal device has network connection but the network is poor.

Based on the technical concept introduced above, the following describes a positioning method provided by the present application, and in order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a communication network system on which the terminal device of the present application is based is described below.

assuming that a storage space is preset in the terminal device, when the terminal device is in a networking state, the area identifier corresponding to the base station can be recorded and stored locally every time the terminal device passes through one base station, and after a period of time, a statistical table of the area identifiers of the base stations which have arrived recently by the terminal device is stored at the terminal device.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the trigger condition is set to be a time period, where the time period may be, for example, one week or one month, and in the time period, the area identifier of the base station through which the terminal device passes is counted, and when the time period arrives, it may be determined that the acquisition of the area identifier is completed.

After that, when the terminal device is networked, the local area identifier statistical table may be uploaded to the server, for example, referring to fig. 7, assuming that the statistical table including 6 area identifiers is currently obtained, the terminal device may send the statistical table to the server.

After receiving the information, the server analyzes the longitude, latitude, country, city, county, town, street and other geographic position information of the base station corresponding to each area identifier according to each area identifier and the base station library, and fills the information column corresponding to each area identifier in a row, and finally obtains a one-to-one correspondence table containing the area identifiers, the longitude, the latitude, the country, the city, the county, the town and the street.

As shown in fig. 7, after completing the analysis of the base station positions corresponding to all the area identifiers, the server may send back the position of the base station corresponding to each area identifier to the terminal device, and in a possible implementation manner, the terminal device may determine a preset corresponding relationship according to the area identifiers and the positions of the base stations corresponding to each area identifier, and store the preset corresponding relationship in a covering manner to a memory space where only the area identifier of the base station is originally recorded.

After the preset corresponding relation is stored in the storage space of the terminal device, even if the terminal device is in a no-network or weak-network state, the preset corresponding relation locally stored in the terminal device can be compared as long as the terminal device inquires the area identifier of the base station where the current terminal device is located, so that the accurate geographic position of the terminal device can be quickly and effectively obtained.

Optionally, if the terminal device passes through a new base station, the area identifier of the new base station at this time is still recorded, in a possible implementation manner, a new storage space may be set for storing information of the newly added area identifier, then, as long as the terminal device is in a networking state, the newly added area identifier may be uploaded to the server for analysis, after the server completes analysis, the position of the base station corresponding to the area identifier is returned to the terminal device, and the terminal device may add the position corresponding to the newly added area identifier to the preset corresponding relationship, thereby implementing timely and accurate updating of the local preset corresponding relationship of the iterative terminal device.

In summary, according to the positioning method provided by the embodiment of the application, when the terminal device requests the location service, networking is not required, a module such as a GPS is not required, and because the preset corresponding relationship is stored locally, the real-time geographic location of the terminal device can be quickly obtained through local query, so that positioning when the terminal device is in a no-network or weak-network state is effectively realized, and limitation of positioning of the terminal device is avoided.
