Description

Position information calling method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic information technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for calling location information.

Background

The position information acquisition function is a common function of electronic devices.

The position information of the electronic device may be understood as information indicating a position where the electronic device is located, such as position coordinates, and the call function of the position information may be understood as the electronic device acquiring the position information through a Positioning module, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) module, and using (e.g., sending out, as well as other modules obtaining from the GPS module) the position information.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a method and a device for calling position information, and aims to solve the problem of how to call the position information by electronic equipment.

In order to achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

a first aspect of the present application provides a method for calling location information, which is applied to an electronic device, and is configured to, in response to detection of a phone card in the electronic device, read a first parameter, a value of the first parameter indicating whether the electronic device is allowed or not allowed to call the location information, and call the location information of the electronic device based on the first parameter being a first target value. The detected telephone card is used as a triggering basis for reading the first parameter, so that the updated value of the first parameter can be obtained in time after the first parameter is updated, and the possibility that the position information cannot be called due to the fact that the value of the first parameter is not updated in time is reduced.

In some implementations, before reading the first parameter, further comprising: the timing is started. In this case, the specific way of reading the first parameter is as follows: and reading the first parameter after the time obtained by timing is not less than the preset time, wherein the preset time is not less than the time for the electronic equipment to respond to the detection of the telephone card to set the numerical value of the first parameter. Because the electronic device needs a certain time length to modify the value of the first parameter, the preset time length is determined based on the time length, and the first parameter is read based on the preset time length, so that the possibility of reading the updated value of the first parameter after the first parameter is updated can be improved, and the possibility of successfully realizing the position information calling is further improved.

In some implementations, the first parameter is a non-volatile parameter. The nonvolatile parameters cannot be lost after the power of the electronic equipment is turned off, so that the stability is high.

In some implementations, invoking the location information of the electronic device based on the first parameter being the first target value includes: setting the second parameter to be a second target value (e.g., a fourth value in the embodiment) based on the first parameter being the first target value (e.g., the second value in the embodiment), the second parameter being the second target value and indicating that the electronic device is allowed to call the location information, the value of the second parameter being a boolean value, and calling the location information of the electronic device based on the second parameter being the second target value. Since the read delay of the nonvolatile parameter is large, in order to reduce the delay, the value of the second parameter is set based on the value of the first parameter, the value of the second parameter is a boolean value, and has an equivalent effect to the first parameter, but the read delay is small, so that the delay of the subsequent read parameter can be reduced.

In some implementations, setting the second parameter to the second target value based on the first parameter being the first target value includes: the second parameter is set to the second target value (TRUE) based on the target Bit of the first parameter being a non-default value (0, as described in the embodiment). Since the non-default value indicates that the location information is allowed to be called, and the second parameter has the same role as the first parameter, the second parameter is set to a second target value indicating that the location information is allowed to be called.

In some implementations, the method provided in the first aspect further includes: based on the target Bit of the first parameter being a default value (first value 1 as described in the example), the second parameter is set to a third target value (FALSE as described in the example). The default value indicates that the calling of the position information is not allowed, and since the second parameter has the same effect as the first parameter, in the case where the first parameter is the default value, the second parameter is set to indicate that the calling of the position information is not allowed.

In some implementations, the electronic device includes an application processing module and a Modem module, and the Modem module includes a location information acquisition module and a location information invoking module. Based on the structure, the manner of calling the position information of the electronic device based on the first parameter as the first target value includes: the position information calling module responds to the instruction of the application processing module and transmits a position information request message to the position information acquisition module, the position information acquisition module transmits acquired position information to the position information calling module based on the second parameter as a second target value, and the second parameter is set for the first target value based on the first parameter as the second target value. Therefore, the calling method of the position information provided by the first aspect can realize the calling of the position information calling module in the Modem module to the position information acquisition module.

In some implementations, the Modem module further includes a card module, and in response to detecting the phone card in the electronic device, reading the first parameter includes: the card module detects the telephone card in the electronic equipment to obtain a detection result, and the card module responds to the detection result to indicate that the telephone card is detected and reads the first parameter. The card module lays a foundation for timely reading the updated first parameter.

In some implementations, after reading the first parameter, further comprising: the card module sets the second parameter as the second target value based on the first parameter as the first target value, thereby laying a foundation for reducing the time delay of the subsequent reading parameter.

In some implementations, further comprising: the position information acquisition module refuses to transmit the acquired position information to the position information calling module based on the fact that the second parameter is not the second target value.

A second aspect of the present application provides an electronic device comprising: one or more processors, and one or more memories storing one or more programs which, when executed by the processors, cause the electronic device to perform the method of invoking location information as provided by the first aspect of the present application.

A third aspect of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium in which a computer program is stored, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to execute the method of calling location information provided by the first aspect of the present application.

A fourth aspect of the present application provides a computer program product comprising: computer program code which, when run on an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform the method for invoking location information as provided by the first aspect of the present application.

Fig. 1 is an example of a scenario in which an electronic device invokes location information:

the mobile phone 1 accesses an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), and can realize a call based on the IMS. After a user uses the mobile phone 1 to make an emergency call, the mobile phone 1 initiates an emergency call through the IMS, and in this case, the mobile phone 1 acquires the location information of the mobile phone 1 through a built-in positioning module, for example, a GPS module, and (in a case where the mobile phone can detect a phone card), transmits the location information of the mobile phone 1 to a receiving end of the location information, taking a server 2 of a network operator as an example in fig. 1. The transmission of the location information triggered by the emergency call is beneficial to the discovery and rescue of the user of the mobile phone 1, and therefore the transmission of the location information is particularly important.

It is understood that fig. 1 is only one example of a scenario in which the electronic device invokes the location information, and in other scenarios, the electronic device can be triggered to invoke the location information.

However, in the course of research, the inventor finds that, in some cases, the electronic device cannot successfully call the location information, and takes the scenario shown in fig. 1 as an example:

when a newly-purchased mobile phone is started for the first time (or not) and a mobile phone card is not inserted yet, namely the mobile phone is started first and then the mobile phone card is inserted, the mobile phone does not transmit the position information of the mobile phone outwards when an emergency call based on the IMS is dialed.

Or, after the mobile phone is restarted after the card is dropped (that is, the mobile phone card cannot be detected), even if the mobile phone card can be detected, the problem that the mobile phone cannot transmit the location information of the mobile phone to the outside when the IMS-based emergency call is dialed can occur.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for calling location information. It can be understood that the method for calling location information provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to an electronic device, as shown in fig. 2, the electronic device is configured with an application processing module 21 and a baseband processing module 22.

Application processing module 21 includes an application processor and an operating system running on the application processor, some examples of which include, but are not limited to, an android system or an IOS system.

The baseband processing module 22 includes a baseband processor and a software module running on the baseband processor for implementing baseband signal processing function, the baseband processing module 22 includes a Modem (Modem) module 221, and the Modem module 221 includes a Modem and a software module running on the Modem. The method for calling the position information provided by the embodiment of the application is mainly realized by the Modem module 221.

It will be appreciated that the application processing module 21 is used to implement the functions of various application programs, such as the function of making and receiving calls implemented by a telephone application. The baseband processing module 22 is configured to implement functions related to baseband signals, in some implementations, a phone application program transmits information to the Modem module 221 in response to an operation of a user to make a call, and the Modem module 221 implements functions of transmitting and processing baseband voice signals during a call making process. The application processing module 21 and the baseband processing module 22 cooperate to implement various implementations of functions of the electronic device, which are not described herein again.

The Modem module 221 includes a Modem and software modules running in the Modem, as shown in fig. 3, the software modules include but are not limited to: a card module 2211, an IMS module 2212, and a GPS module 2213.

The flow of calling the location information when each software module realizes making an emergency call is shown in fig. 4, and includes the following steps:

s101, in the starting process of the mobile phone, the card module reads the numerical value of the NV 74235.

NV refers to Non-Volatile (Non Volatile), and some NV values are configured in the mobile phone to implement some functions.

NV74235 is an NV value associated with the calling of the location information, NV74235 is stored as a binary value in the mobile phone, the first Bit in the binary NV74235 from the left is identified as 0, the second Bit is identified as 1, the third Bit is identified as 2, and the third Bit from the left is hereinafter referred to as Bit 2.

The Bit2 value of NV74235 indicates whether the module such as the IMS module is allowed to call the GPS module, and calling the GPS module may be understood as obtaining the location information from the GPS module, and it may be understood that after the module such as the IMS module obtains the location information from the GPS module, the location information may be further used, for example, by being transmitted to the outside.

In some implementations, the default value of the Bit2 Bit of the NV74235 is a first value, e.g., 1, indicating that modules such as the IMS module are not allowed to call the GPS module. In other implementations, in response to detecting a handset card in the handset, the Bit2 Bit of the NV74235 is set to a second value, e.g., 0, indicating that a module, such as the IMS module, is allowed to invoke the GPS module.

It is understood that in response to detecting the handset card, the Bit2 of the NV74235 is set to the second value by a module other than the module shown in FIG. 3 in the Modem module 221, which is not described herein.

It is understood that when the value of Bit2 of the NV74235 is changed, the value of the NV74235 is changed accordingly. The NV74235 value may be a binary value or a decimal value, but the Bit2 value of the NV74235 is the third left digit value of the NV74235 value in binary format.

Combining the above scenarios for example:

during the first startup of the electronic device, the Bit2 value of the NV74235 is a default value, i.e., a first value, for example, 1, which indicates that the module such as the IMS is not allowed to call the GPS module. The Bit2 of NV74235 read by the card module is the default value (i.e. the first value), and if the user does not insert the phone card after power-on, the electronic device cannot detect the phone card, and the Bit2 of NV74235 has the same value. If the user inserts the phone card after power-on, the Bit2 of the NV74235 is set to a second value, e.g., 0, but it is understood that the card module does not read the value of the NV74235 following the update of the Bit2 of the NV74235, but instead reads it during power-on, so that even if the user inserts the phone card after power-on, the value of the NV74235 read by the card module during power-on is a default value, e.g., 1.

After the electronic device is unplugged, the Bit2 Bit of the NV74235 is modified from the second value to the first value because the phone card is not detected, and thus, even if the electronic device is restarted, the Bit2 Bit of the NV74235 read by the card module is the default value (i.e., the first value) assuming that the electronic device does not detect the phone card during the booting process.

S102, the card module sets the value of the calling flag bit based on the value of the NV 74235.

The value of the calling flag bit indicates whether the module such as the IMS module is allowed or not allowed to acquire the position information from the GPS module. In some implementations, based on the Bit2 of NV74235 being a first value (i.e., a default value), the call flag Bit is set to a third value, such as FALSE, indicating that a module, such as an IMS module, is not allowed to obtain location information from a GPS module. In other implementations, based on the Bit2 of the NV74235 being the second value, the calling flag is set to a fourth value, such as TRUE, indicating that modules, such as the IMS module, are allowed to obtain location information from the GPS module.

As can be seen, the function of the calling flag Bit may be equal to that of the Bit2 Bit of the NV74235, but considering that the time delay for reading the NV74235 is relatively high, in this embodiment, the calling flag Bit is set as a boolean variable, so that only the calling flag Bit needs to be read subsequently, thereby reducing the reading time delay.

S103, responding to the dialing of the IMS emergency call, the IMS module transmits a request message of the position information to the GPS module.

It will be appreciated that the request message is transmitted by the IMS module in response to the IMS emergency call being dialed, and not transmitted by the application processing module to the GPS module.

S104, the GPS module inquires the value of the calling zone bit and transmits a response message to the IMS module based on the value of the calling zone bit.

In some implementations, the calling flag is a fourth value indicating that the IMS module is allowed to acquire the location information from the GPS module, and the GPS module transmits the location information to the IMS module by carrying the location information in the response message. In other implementations, the calling flag is a third value indicating that the IMS module is not allowed to obtain the location information from the GPS module, and the GPS module transmits a response message indicating that the location information request is rejected to the IMS module.

It will be appreciated that the IMS module, upon receiving the location information, may transmit to a target device, including but not limited to a server of a network operator, such as server 2 shown in fig. 1.

Based on the flow shown in fig. 4, the reason why the mobile phone cannot successfully acquire the location information in the above scenario is that:

for a scenario that the mobile phone is first powered on and then the mobile phone card is inserted, the Bit2 of the factory-set NV74235 of the mobile phone is a default value, for example, 1, which indicates that the modules such as the IMS module are not allowed to call the GPS module. In the process of first starting up the electronic device, the card module executes S101, where the Bit2 of the NV74235 is a first value (i.e., a default value), and executes S102 to set a value of the calling flag Bit to a third value, i.e., the IMS module is not allowed to obtain the location information from the GPS module.

Moreover, in the research process, the inventor finds that even if the user inserts the phone card after the mobile phone is started, since the NV74235 and the numerical value of the calling flag bit are not affected by detecting the phone card, if the user dials an emergency phone based on the IMS, the GPS module refuses to transmit the location information to the IMS module in combination with S103 and S104, and therefore, the IMS module cannot transmit the location information of the mobile phone to the outside. And because the Bit2 of the NV74235 is set to the second value, for example, 0, when the phone card is detected, and the card module reads the NV74235 mechanism during the starting process, only by restarting the mobile phone again after the phone card is inserted and the mobile phone detects the phone card, the Bit2 of the NV74235 read by the card module can be ensured to be the second value, and then the calling flag Bit is set to the fourth value, so that the GPS module allows the IMS module to call.

For the mobile phone card-dropping restart scenario, after the mobile phone card drops, the value of Bit2 Bit of NV74235 is changed from the second value to the first value. In order to achieve the purpose that the mobile phone can detect the telephone card, the user restarts the mobile phone, because the telephone card is detected but no telephone card is detected in the starting process of the mobile phone, even if the card is inserted into the mobile phone, the Bit2 value of the NV74235 read by the card module is still the first value caused by card dropping, and then the calling flag Bit is set to be the third value. So if the user dials an IMS-based emergency call, the GPS module refuses to transmit the location information to the IMS module in conjunction with S103 and S104, and thus the IMS module cannot transmit the location information of the handset to the outside. Only after the mobile phone is restarted when the state of the phone card (i.e., the plug-in card state) can be detected, it can be ensured that the Bit2 of the NV74235 read by the card module is the second value, and then the calling flag Bit is set to the fourth value, so that the GPS module allows the IMS module to call.

For the reason that the IMS module cannot acquire the location information, the location information calling method provided in the embodiment of the present application implements, by mainly improving the card module 211, that a telephone card is inserted into the electronic device in response to the insertion of the telephone card, and the value of the NV74235 is read again, so that the value of the calling flag bit can be updated in time, and the possibility that the location information cannot be called in the case of an IMS emergency call is reduced.

It can be understood that, according to the method for invoking location information provided in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device applied to the application includes, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet Computer, a desktop Computer, a laptop Computer, a notebook Computer, an Ultra-mobile Personal Computer (UMPC), a handheld Computer, a netbook, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wearable electronic device, a smart watch, and other devices that can be inserted into a phone card.

The above emergency call scenario based on the IMS is only an example, and it may be understood that the method for invoking the location information provided in this embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the emergency call scenario based on the IMS, and may also be applied to other scenarios, for example, invocation of a Manual Drive Test (MDT) module on a GPS module, and invocation of a User Identity Model (UIM) module on the GPS module.

With reference to fig. 2, from the perspective of the application processing module 21 and the baseband processing module 22, the above scenario can be summarized as follows: and calling the GPS module by a module running in the baseband processor, namely calling the GPS module by a non-application processing module.

As shown in fig. 5, the method for calling location information provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

s201, the card module detects the telephone card to obtain a detection result.

It can be appreciated that in some implementations, no phone card is inserted into the electronic device, the card module does not detect the phone card, and the detection result indicates that no phone card is detected. In other implementations, a phone card is inserted into the electronic device, the card module detects the phone card, and the detection result indicates that the phone card is detected.

It is understood that S201 is performed according to a preset cycle. The preset period may be configured in the electronic device. In some implementations, the card module may create a process to execute S201 and run the process at a preset cycle. In this embodiment, the specific manner of detecting the phone card by the card module is not described again.

S201 is executed during or after the electronic device is started.

For a scenario that the mobile phone is first powered on and then the mobile phone card is inserted, the Bit2 of the factory setting NV74235 of the mobile phone is a default value, for example, 1, which indicates that the IMS module is not allowed to call the GPS module. Because it is the first boot, bit2 of NV74235 is the default value. And the card module reads the value of the NV74235 as a default value in the starting process of the mobile phone.

Assuming that the user inserts the phone card into the phone after the phone is started, but before S201 is executed, if the user does not go to the execution cycle of S201 and does not execute S201 after inserting the phone card, the Bit2 of the NV74235 is a default value. After S201 is executed, a detection result indicating that the telephone card is detected is obtained.

For the scenario of the mobile phone card-out restart, after the mobile phone card-out, the value of Bit2 Bit of NV74235 is changed from the second value to the first value (i.e. default value). Assume that the user restarts the mobile phone after the mobile phone loses its card and does not detect the phone card during the starting process, and therefore, the value of Bit2 of NV74235 read by the card module during the starting process is the first value (i.e. the default value).

It can be understood that, after the mobile phone is restarted, S201 is executed, and if the card module detects the phone card again, a detection result indicating that the phone card is detected is obtained.

It will be appreciated that the following steps are not performed in response to the detection indicating that no phone card is detected, and are performed in response to the detection indicating that a phone card is detected.

S202, the card module responds to the detection result to indicate that the telephone card is detected, and starts timing.

It is understood that the timing may be a countdown or a positive timing, and is not limited herein. In some implementations, a specific implementation of starting the timing is to start a timer.

In a scenario where the mobile phone card is inserted after the electronic device is started for the first time, if the user inserts the phone card after the electronic device is started, S201 obtains a detection result indicating that the phone card is detected, and then S202 is triggered and executed.

For the scenario of restarting the mobile phone in case of card dropping, after the electronic device is restarted, if the card module detects the phone card again, S202 is triggered and executed.

S203, the card module reads the NV74235 value after the time obtained by timing is not less than the preset time.

The preset duration is preset duration, and the preset duration setting basis is as follows: the electronic device responds to the detection of the length of time required for the phone card to modify the Bit2 Bit of NV74235 from the first value to the second value. It will be appreciated that the predetermined time period is not less than the time period required to modify the Bit2 Bit of the NV74235 from the first value to the second value.

The preset time period may be pre-configured in the electronic device, and one example of the preset time period is 2 seconds.

It is understood that the preset duration is set to ensure that the NV74235 value is read after the Bit2 of the NV74235 is modified after the card is inserted, so as to obtain an updated NV74235 value, thereby improving the possibility of allowing the GPS module to be called.

In some implementations, the value of the NV74235 is stored in a non-volatile memory unit of the Modem module 221.

S204, the card module sets the value of the calling flag bit based on the value of the NV 74235.

Invoking the value of the flag bit indicates that the IMS module is allowed or not allowed to obtain location information from the GPS module. In some implementations, based on the Bit2 Bit of NV74235 being a first value (i.e., a default value), the calling flag Bit is set to a third value, indicating that the IMS module is not allowed to obtain location information from the GPS module. In other implementations, the call flag Bit is set to a fourth value based on the Bit2 Bit of NV74235 being the second value, indicating that the IMS module is allowed to obtain location information from the GPS module.

In a scenario where the phone card is first turned on and then inserted into the mobile phone card, if the user inserts the phone card after the electronic device is turned on, S201 obtains a detection result indicating that the phone card is detected, and further, after S202-S204 are executed, the calling flag bit is a fourth value.

For the scenario of restarting the mobile phone without the card, assuming that the phone card is detected again after the electronic device is restarted, S201 obtains a detection result indicating that the phone card is detected, and further obtains a calling flag bit as a fourth value after executing S202-S204.

In some implementations, the value of the calling flag is stored in a memory location of the Modem module 221.

It is understood that S204 is an optional step, and in the case where S204 is not executed, the "call flag Bit" may be replaced with "Bit 2 Bit of NV 74235" in the following steps.

S205, responding to the dialing of the IMS emergency call, the IMS module transmits a request message of the position information to the GPS module.

S206, the GPS module inquires the value of the calling zone bit and transmits a response message to the IMS module based on the value of the calling zone bit.

In some implementations, the calling flag is a fourth value indicating that the IMS module is allowed to obtain the location information from the GPS module, and the GPS module carries the location information in a response message to transmit the response message to the IMS module. In other implementations, the calling flag is a third value indicating that the IMS module is not allowed to obtain the location information from the GPS module, and the GPS module transmits a response message indicating that the location information request is rejected to the IMS module.

It will be appreciated that the IMS module, upon receiving the location information, may transmit to a target device, including but not limited to a server of the network operator.

In some implementations, the value of the calling flag is volatile, and the GPS module needs to re-read the value of the calling flag after the electronic device is powered off (e.g., restarted).

With reference to the flow shown in fig. 5, for a scenario where the mobile phone card is inserted after the mobile phone is first powered on, bit2 of the factory setting NV74235 of the mobile phone is a default value, for example, 1, which indicates that the modules such as the IMS are not allowed to call the GPS module. In the process of the first boot of the electronic device, the card module executes S101, and the Bit2 of the NV74235 is read as a first value (i.e., a default value). After the start is completed, assuming that a user inserts a phone card into the mobile phone, the card module obtains a detection result indicating that the phone card is detected after executing S201, and then executes S202-S204, so that the calling flag is set to a fourth value, and therefore, based on S205-S206, the IMS module can obtain the location information of the mobile phone from the GPS module.

For the mobile phone card-dropping restart scenario, after the mobile phone card drops, the value of Bit2 Bit of NV74235 is changed from the second value to the first value. In order to achieve the purpose that the phone card can be detected by the mobile phone, the user restarts the mobile phone, and if the phone card is not detected during the restart, the Bit2 value of the NV74235 read by the card module is still the first value (i.e. the default value) caused by the card drop. In the execution cycle after the completion of the start, the card module executes S201, assuming that a detection result indicating that the phone card is detected is obtained, and then executes S202 to S204, so that the calling flag is set to the fourth value, and therefore, based on S205 to S206, the IMS module can acquire the location information of the mobile phone from the GPS module.

In summary, according to the method for calling location information in this embodiment, in response to detecting a phone card, the value of the NV74235 is read, and the value of the calling flag bit is set based on the value of the NV74235, so that the calling flag bit can be updated to a value indicating that the IMS module is allowed to call the GPS module after the card is inserted, thereby improving the possibility that location information can be obtained when the electronic device is inserted into the phone card.
