It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

The technical means described in the embodiments of the present application may be arbitrarily combined without conflict.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, "first", "second", and the like are used for distinguishing similar objects, and are not necessarily used for describing a specific order or a sequential order.

An embodiment of the present application provides a positioning method, and fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of the positioning method according to the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the method is applied to a first terminal, and includes:

s101: determining a first signal strength; the first terminal resides in a first cell; the first signal strength characterizes a signal strength of the first cell detected by the first terminal.

Here, when the first terminal successfully camps on the first cell, the first signal strength is determined according to the signal strength of the first cell detected by the first terminal. In practical applications, the cell may be divided into different areas according to different levels of signal strength, thereby facilitating different processing for the first terminal in different areas.

S102: acquiring a first list created by a server; the first list stores positioning modes supported by different areas in the first cell; the different regions correspond to different levels of signal strength.

Here, the first list created by the server stores the positioning modes supported by different areas, where the different areas are divided by the signal strength by the server, for example, different signal strength ranges are divided, and the small area is divided into different areas according to the signal strength range in which the signal strength falls, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of different areas of a cell, and in fig. 2, the small area is divided into a signal area 1, a signal area 2, and a signal area 3, where the signal strength range corresponding to the signal area 1 is [ -80dbm, -90dbm ], the signal strength range corresponding to the signal area 2 is [ -90dbm, -100dbm ], and the signal strength range corresponding to the signal area 3 is [ -100dbm, -110dbm ]. The first terminal acquires the first list created by the server, so that the positioning modes supported by different areas can be acquired according to the first list.

In one embodiment, the obtaining the first list created by the server includes:

receiving first broadcast information of a base station, and acquiring the first list from the first broadcast information; the first list is sent by the server to the base station; or the like, or, alternatively,

Here, the first terminal may acquire the first list through two methods. The first method is to obtain a first list through a base station, as shown in fig. 3, where fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of sending the first list through first broadcast information, a server sends the generated first list to the base station, the base station sends the first list through the first broadcast information, and a first terminal is capable of receiving the first broadcast information of the base station and obtaining the first list from the first broadcast information, as shown in fig. 4, and fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of content of the first broadcast information. In practical application, after the first list is updated, the base station can store the updated first list sent by the server and update the corresponding first broadcast information. When the first terminal accesses to the cell corresponding to the base station, a paging message may be sent to the first terminal, and the first list is indicated to be updated by the paging message, so that the first terminal may read the corresponding first broadcast information to obtain the updated first list. Another method for acquiring the first list is to implement end-to-end push through the first push information, as shown in fig. 5, and fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of sending the first list through the first push information. The server establishes end-to-end connection with the first terminal, sends the first list through the first push information, and after the client program of the first terminal receives the push information, if the user agrees to receive the push information, the first list is obtained through the first push information. In practical application, after the first list in the server is updated, the updated first list needs to be pushed to the first terminal, and in practical application, the updated first list may be pushed to the first terminal that performs positioning in a cell in which a positioning manner is changed within a certain period of time, where the updated first list may be determined by a first cell in which the first terminal resides.

In the above embodiment, first broadcast information of a base station is received, and the first list is obtained from the first broadcast information; the first list is sent by the server to the base station; or, the first push information is received from the server, the first list is obtained from the first push information, and the positioning technologies supported by the areas of different cells can be obtained in different modes, so that the terminal can quickly determine the mode of positioning, and the positioning accuracy is improved.

In one embodiment, the obtaining the first list created by the server includes:

Here, before acquiring the first list, it is further necessary to determine whether the first function of the first terminal is in an activated state, and when the first function is in an deactivated state, it is described that the positioning method adopted by the first terminal cannot be determined using the first list, and an appropriate positioning method needs to be determined by performing measurement and the like among the positioning methods supported by the first terminal, and when the first function is in an activated state, it is described that the positioning method adopted by the first terminal can be determined using the first list, it is necessary to acquire the first list created by the server to determine the positioning method adopted by the first terminal. In practical application, the on or off of the first function can be changed through switch control on the display interface of the first terminal, so that different determination methods of the positioning mode adopted by the first terminal are controlled.

In the above embodiment, when the first function is in the activated state, the first list is acquired; the first function representation utilizes the first list to determine the positioning mode adopted by the first terminal, so that the terminal is compatible with different methods for determining the adopted positioning mode, and the requirements of users can be met.

S103: and determining a first positioning mode supported by a corresponding area in the first list according to the first signal strength.

Here, since the first list stores the positioning manners supported by different areas in the first cell, in practical applications, the area corresponding to the first signal strength is determined according to the first signal strength, so that the first positioning manner supported by the area where the first terminal is located can be determined in the first list. When the terminal is in different scenes, the supported positioning modes are different, for example, a satellite navigation signal is generally adopted for positioning in an outdoor scene, and no satellite navigation signal exists indoors or underground, and positioning cannot be performed through the satellite navigation signal, so that the positioning mode supported by the area where the first terminal is located can be determined according to the first list. In practical applications, an operator deploys the base station as much as possible, so that the first terminal can be associated with the base station, and the first terminal can be ensured to complete positioning quickly to the maximum extent.

S104: and positioning the first terminal by adopting the first positioning mode.

Here, the first terminal is located by using the first locating method to determine the location information of the first terminal, in practical applications, the first locating method selected from the first list can quickly select a proper locating technology from a plurality of locating technologies supported by the first terminal to locate, and can improve the locating efficiency of the terminal while ensuring the locating accuracy. In practical application, a plurality of supported positioning modes may exist in the corresponding area in the first list, and in this case, the first positioning mode may be a positioning technology set, the positioning modes may be prioritized and ordered in the positioning technology set according to positioning accuracy, and a positioning technology with high positioning accuracy may be arranged in front, so that when a first terminal is positioned according to the first positioning technology, the positioning accuracy may be improved.

In the above embodiment, the first terminal determines the first signal strength; the first terminal resides in a first cell; the first signal strength characterizes a signal strength of the first cell detected by the first terminal; obtaining a first list created by a server; the first list stores positioning modes supported by different areas in the first cell; the different areas correspond to different levels of signal strength; determining a first positioning mode supported by a corresponding area in the first list according to the first signal strength; the first terminal is positioned by adopting the first positioning mode, the positioning mode supported by the area where the terminal is located at present can be determined according to the constructed list, the positioning mode does not need to be selected according to the measurement result, the power consumption of the terminal is saved, and the positioning efficiency and the positioning precision of the terminal can be improved.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the method further comprises:

s601: positioning the first terminal by adopting a second positioning mode under the condition that the first positioning mode cannot be used for positioning the first terminal; the second positioning mode represents a positioning mode other than the positioning modes supported by the first terminal and supported by the corresponding area stored in the first list.

Here, the first terminal cannot perform positioning on the first terminal by using the first positioning method, which indicates that the positioning method supported by the area corresponding to the first signal strength is changed, or the first terminal does not support the first positioning method, in this case, the first terminal may perform positioning by using another positioning method, where the second positioning method used indicates a positioning method other than the positioning method supported by the terminal and supported by the corresponding area stored in the first list, and therefore the area corresponding to the first signal strength does not record the second positioning method before.

S602: and reporting the second positioning mode and the first signal strength to the server under the condition that the first terminal can be positioned by adopting the second positioning mode, so that the server updates the first list.

Here, when the second positioning method is adopted to be able to position the first terminal, the corresponding area can support the second positioning technology, but the second positioning technology is not described in the positioning technology supported by the corresponding area in the first list, so that the second positioning method and the first signal strength are reported to the server, and the server adds the second positioning method to the corresponding area in the first list according to the first signal strength through the information reported by the first terminal, so that the first list can be updated in time according to the change of the positioning technology supported by the area while determining to acquire the position information of the first terminal. As shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a format of reported information, and in practical application, the reported first signal strength may also carry a corresponding cell identifier, so that a cell with a changed positioning manner can be determined.

In the above embodiment, when the first terminal cannot be located by using the first positioning method, the first terminal is located by using a second positioning method; the second positioning mode represents a positioning mode which is supported by the first terminal and is different from the positioning mode supported by the corresponding area stored in the first list; and reporting the second positioning mode and the first signal strength to the server under the condition that the first terminal can be positioned by adopting the second positioning mode, so that the server updates the first list, and can know whether the positioning technologies supported by different areas change or not according to the positioning condition of the terminal, thereby updating the positioning technologies supported by the areas in time, and improving the accuracy of the list and the precision of terminal positioning.

Another positioning method is further provided in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 8 is a schematic flowchart of a positioning method in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 8, the method is applied to a second terminal, and includes:

s801: and positioning the second terminal by adopting at least one positioning mode to obtain a positioning result.

Here, the second terminal is located by using at least one location method, and in practical applications, the location method for locating the second terminal may be all location methods supported by the terminal or all location methods supported by a corresponding area, so that a location result of the second terminal can be tried to be obtained according to different location methods as much as possible, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the constructed first list.

S802: determining a second signal strength; the second terminal resides in a first cell; the second signal strength characterizes a signal strength of the first cell detected by the second terminal.

Here, the signal strength of the first cell detected by the second terminal when the second terminal is camped on the first cell is determined, in practical application, even in the same cell, the positioning modes supported by different regions may be different, and in order to improve the accuracy of the first list, the second signal strength needs to be determined, so that the cells are divided according to the signal strengths of different levels, so that each region corresponds to a different signal strength range.

In an embodiment, the positioning the second terminal by using at least one positioning method includes:

Here, at least one fourth positioning method supported by the second terminal is determined, and the second terminal is positioned by using each fourth positioning method, so that the positioning technology supported by the current area can be determined from the at least one positioning method supported by the second terminal. In practical application, the fourth positioning manner may also be one positioning manner in a custom list, where multiple different positioning manners may be determined in the custom list, which is beneficial to determining more positioning technologies supported by the current area, and the acquisition method is suitable for indoor deployment of a dedicated positioning manner, for example, a bluetooth positioning manner deployed in a parking garage, and the like, as shown in fig. 9, and fig. 9 shows a flowchart for determining the first information by using the fourth positioning manner. In practical applications, in order to improve the efficiency of the positioning technology supported by the determined area, the second terminal may be further positioned based on a set positioning manner corresponding to an initiator of the positioning request when the second terminal receives the positioning request, where the positioning request may be initiated by an upper application of the second terminal or may be initiated by a user actively, for example, when the second terminal runs a navigation application, the navigation application may initiate the positioning request, and the initiator of the corresponding positioning request may position the second terminal by using the positioning manner responding to the positioning request. In practical application, the positioning mode is set as a positioning mode supported by the second terminal by default. When the set positioning mode is used for positioning the second terminal, the second terminal is monitored continuously, and a positioning result returned by the set positioning mode can be identified. Because the positioning of the second terminal is based on the initiation of the positioning request, when the second terminal can be successfully positioned by using the set positioning mode, the second terminal is not positioned by using other positioning modes. As shown in fig. 10, fig. 10 illustrates a flowchart for determining a first request based on a positioning request.

In the above embodiment, the second terminal is respectively located according to each fourth locating mode of at least one fourth locating mode; the fourth positioning mode represents a positioning mode supported by the second terminal; or, in the case of receiving the positioning request, positioning the second terminal based on the set positioning mode corresponding to the initiator of the positioning request, and determining the positioning mode supported by the region in different modes, so as to determine the positioning mode supported by the region by an applicable acquisition method in different acquisition scenes, thereby improving the acquisition efficiency and the accuracy of determining the positioning mode supported by the region

S803: uploading first information to a server based on the positioning result; wherein the first information comprises at least one third positioning mode and the second signal strength; the second terminal can perform positioning by adopting each third positioning mode of at least one third positioning mode.

The at least one positioning method used is not all successful in obtaining the positioning information of the second terminal, e.g., on the other side of the signal blind area, the GPS positioning technology can not position the second terminal, and the third positioning mode can be determined from at least one positioning mode according to the positioning result of the second terminal positioned by at least one positioning mode, wherein the positioning mode capable of acquiring the position information of the second terminal is determined as a third positioning mode, the third positioning mode represents a supportable positioning mode of an area corresponding to the second signal strength, the positioning mode which can not determine the positioning result of the second terminal is the positioning mode which is not supported by the area corresponding to the second signal strength, the terminal can not obtain the positioning result according to the positioning mode, and the third positioning mode and the second signal strength are combined into first information to be uploaded to a server. In practical application, when the first information is acquired, the first information needs to be uploaded to a server, and the first information can be uploaded to the server through a wireless network or a mobile communication network. In practical application, when the second terminal needs to measure multiple cells, multiple pieces of first information are reported, so that the second signal strength can be uploaded to the server with corresponding cell identifiers, and the cell identifiers can be identified through operator identifiers, global cell identifiers and physical cell identifiers, so that the cell signal strength can be corresponding to the cells. In practical application, the cell is divided into different areas according to different signal strength ranges according to a set division rule, so that the second terminal needs to be positioned at least once in each area. In practical applications, in order to improve the accuracy of the acquired first information, multiple times of positioning of the second terminal may be attempted in each area.

In the above embodiment, at least one positioning method is adopted to position the second terminal, so as to obtain a positioning result; determining a second signal strength; the second terminal resides in a first cell; the second signal strength represents the signal strength of the first cell detected by the second terminal; uploading first information to a server based on the positioning result; wherein the first information comprises at least one third positioning mode and the second signal strength; the second terminal can perform positioning by adopting each of at least one third positioning mode, and can test the positioning modes supported in different cells through the terminal, so that the second terminal can associate the different cell signal strengths with the supported positioning modes to build a corresponding list, and the terminal needing positioning can select the optimal positioning mode according to the built list to quickly complete positioning.

Here, the positioning manners deployed in different scenarios are different, and it is difficult for the positioning manners to achieve signal coverage without blind areas, but in practical applications, in order to ensure that each place can communicate, the coverage area of the base station is as large as possible, so that the optimal positioning manner can be fed back to the terminal in most scenarios through the relationship between the terminal and the base station, and in practical applications, the positioning technologies supported by different areas can be stored by constructing the first list.
