Therefore, the application positioning information acquisition method is provided, related information of an application positioning process can be acquired, and the transparency degree of the application positioning process is improved.

The process of positioning by the application is explained first.

When positioning is performed in the equipment according to the application requirement, positioning service needs to be registered for the application, so that positioning resources are conveniently allocated for the application, positioning can be performed based on the registered positioning service, current position information of the equipment is obtained and sent to the application for subsequent business processing.

The application may perform a plurality of locations based on the registered location services, and may then be operated by the user or automatically de-register the registered location services, releasing the location resources.

In order to acquire the related information of the application positioning process, a time point of registering the positioning service, the related information of positioning based on the positioning service, a time point of logging out the positioning service, and the like may be acquired.

When positioning is performed based on the positioning service, the positioning service may acquire the position information through different positioning modes, or acquire the position information from different position information providers.

The positioning modes can specifically comprise satellite positioning, base station positioning, network IP positioning and the like,

the location information providers can be categorized into four categories, three of which are active and one of which is passive.

The active method comprises GPS-Provider, network-Provider, fused-Provider, wherein the former two are respectively based on satellite positions acquired by a positioning engine (hardware) and network positions obtained through information calculation of network IP, base stations and the like, and the Fused mode is to combine the former two and further calculate position information through a prediction algorithm (generally called fusion position).

The Passive is Passive-Provider, the position information Provider does not actively locate, and the provided position information is the active position information Provider which obtains the position information last time at present.

Wherein the disclosure is not limited to the target application. The target application may be any application, and for convenience of description, any application targeted is referred to as a target application, so as to obtain information related to a positioning process of the target application, that is, application positioning information. The application positioning information to be acquired may include at least one of the following: registration time point, positioning related information, and deregistration time point.

It should be noted that, the method flow is explained for the target application, and for a plurality of different applications, the method flow can be adopted for each application to obtain and display the application positioning information, so that the transparency degree of each application positioning process can be improved.

The present disclosure is also not limited to the running device of the target application. Alternatively, the target application may be run on the execution subject, or may be run on a device other than the execution subject.

Alternatively, the target application may be run on other devices, with the location being by the device running the subject. For example, the target application may be a mobile phone running on a smart band, which is connected via bluetooth for positioning.

The present disclosure is also not limited to a particular form of location services, as long as the location services can be used for location determination. Optionally, the positioning Service may specifically be Location-Manager-Service in the android system, or may be a positioning engine control module in the device, which controls the positioning engine to perform positioning.

The present disclosure is not limited in the manner in which positioning is performed based on positioning services. Alternatively, the location information is obtained by a location service through different location modes, or from different location information providers. See in particular the explanation above.

The present disclosure is not limited to the form of the display device. Alternatively, the display device may be a device other than the execution subject device for information display. The display device may also be part of the execution body device, integral with the execution body device.

For example, the execution subject device may be a mobile terminal with a positioning service, and the display device may be VR glasses connected to the execution subject device, so that application positioning information in the mobile terminal may be displayed on the VR glasses, so that the user can view the application positioning information conveniently. In particular by bluetooth or by a wired connection.

Of course, VR glasses herein are for illustrative purposes only, and it is understood that other devices having display capabilities may also be used as display devices. Such as LED screens, cell phones, computers, screens for various types of devices, etc.

The mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, and the display device may be a mobile phone screen, for displaying application positioning information.

The following explanation is made separately from the four aspects.

1. With respect to acquiring application positioning information.

The embodiment of the disclosure is not limited to a specific manner of acquiring the application positioning information corresponding to the target application. Optionally, the generated application positioning information can be obtained in real time in the process of calling the positioning service by the target application; or after the target application invokes the positioning service to complete positioning, the generated application positioning information can be acquired.

In the process of calling the positioning service by the target application, positioning can be performed after the positioning service is registered, and the positioning service is cancelled after the positioning is completed.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in the manner in which location services are registered and deregistered. Optionally, the method specifically includes registering a positioning service according to the positioning request of the application; the location services may also be logged out according to a log-out request by the application. The trigger condition of the application logout request is not limited. The application may be stopped running, or the user may terminate the positioning authorization, or the application may be scheduled to run in the background, etc.

And the specific process of calling the positioning service for the application can further acquire the related positioning information.

Optionally, obtaining application positioning information corresponding to the target application may include at least one of:

under the condition that positioning based on positioning service is detected, positioning related information of the positioning service for positioning at the present time is obtained;

and under the condition that the logout request of the target application is detected, logging out the positioning service registered for the target application, and acquiring a logout time point of the positioning service.

In an alternative embodiment, the above 3 steps of acquiring the application positioning information may be directly performed by the execution body device to acquire the application positioning information.

Optionally, the executing main device may specifically call the function module deployed inside, and execute the above 3 steps of acquiring the application positioning information respectively.

The embodiment is not limited to specific execution of the functional module.

Alternatively, the above 3 steps of acquiring the application positioning information may be performed by different functional modules, respectively. The method specifically comprises the step that a registration module, a callback module and a cancellation module are deployed on the execution main equipment.

Alternatively, the above 3 steps of acquiring the application positioning information may be performed by a single functional module; the registration and the cancellation of the positioning service and the acquisition of the application positioning information can also be respectively executed by different functional modules.

1. With respect to registration.

In an alternative embodiment, a registration module may be deployed in the execution body device. The present embodiment does not limit the function of the registration module.

Alternatively, the registration module may be configured to register the location service for the target application in case a location request of the target application is detected.

Alternatively, the registration module may be used to register the location service for the target application. The execution body device may invoke the registration module to register the location service for the target application if a location request of the target application is detected.

In order to conveniently obtain the registration time point of the positioning service, the deployed registration module is utilized, optionally, the registration module can be modified in advance, specifically, the function of modifying the registration module can be realized, and the function of obtaining the registration time point of the positioning service is newly added.

The registration module has a function of registering the positioning service for the application, so that the registration time point of the positioning service can be acquired relatively accurately, and the accuracy of the registration time point is improved.

Thus, alternatively, the above-described method flow may be applied to a device in which a registration module is deployed.

Optionally, in the case that the location request of the target application is detected, registering the location service for the target application and acquiring the registration time point of the location service may include: calling a registration module to execute: in the case of detecting a location request of a target application, a location service is registered for the target application, and a registration time point of the registered location service is acquired.

Of course, a function of sending the registration time point of the location service to other modules may be newly added to the registration module, so that the other modules acquire the registration time point of the registered location service.

In addition, the registration module with the two functions can be directly developed and deployed on the execution subject device.

For easy understanding, in a specific embodiment, the android mobile phone supports a positioning function, and the positioning service is automatically operated as a basic service of the android system along with the starting of the mobile phone. The logic of the third party application using the system Location function includes obtaining a proxy of a Location Service LMs (Location-Manager-Service) through a Location Manager LM (Location-Manager), thereby using the Location function.

Wherein the registration location service LMS may be a call function oneremoblelistenerviceregister ().

Therefore, a logic implementation may be added in advance in the onremoblelistenerviceregistration () function, so that when registration of the location service is successful, the current system time point may be further acquired as a registration time point.

Of course, the positioning service in other systems can also be based on the same principle, and the new logic realizes the acquisition of the registration time point.

2. With respect to positioning.

In an alternative embodiment, a callback module may be deployed in the execution body device. The present embodiment does not limit the functionality of the callback module.

Optionally, the callback module may be configured to send the location information callback acquired based on the location service to the upper layer application.

Optionally, the callback module may also be configured to send location information determined by the location service to an upper layer application when the location based on the location service is detected.

In order to conveniently acquire more information in the positioning process of the positioning service, the deployed callback module is utilized, optionally, the callback module can be modified in advance, specifically, the function of modifying the callback module can be realized, and the function of acquiring the related information of the positioning service in the positioning process is newly added.

The present embodiment does not limit the information related to the positioning service in the positioning process. Optionally, the positioning related information may include at least one of: location information, positioning mode, location information provider, identification information of target application, time point of obtaining location information, positioning result, positioning times, etc.

The information may reflect the positioning process of the positioning service from multiple angles, thereby enabling an improved degree of transparency of the positioning process.

The callback module can send the location information callback acquired by the location service to the upper layer application, so that the related information of the location service in the location process can be conveniently and directly acquired, and particularly, the information uploaded by the location service can be modified or the parameters of the callback module can be modified, so that the callback module can acquire more information of the location service in the location process.

And the callback module is used for acquiring the positioning related information, so that the transparency degree of the positioning process and the acquisition efficiency of the positioning related information can be improved.

Thus, alternatively, the above-described method flow may be applied to a device in which a callback module is deployed.

Optionally, in the case of detecting positioning based on the positioning service, acquiring positioning related information of the positioning service for positioning the time may include: calling a callback module to execute: and under the condition that the positioning based on the positioning service is detected, acquiring positioning related information of the positioning service for positioning.

Of course, the function of sending the positioning related information to other modules can be added for the callback module, so that the other modules acquire the positioning related information of the registered positioning service.

In addition, the callback module can be directly developed, and the positioning related information of the positioning service for the current positioning can be obtained under the condition that the positioning based on the positioning service is detected, so that the callback module is deployed on the execution main equipment.

In order to facilitate understanding, in a specific embodiment, a third party application in the android mobile phone may call a callback function to obtain location information in the process of using the positioning function, and report the location information upwards through callback. The method specifically may be to call the onReportLocation () function inside the locationprovidermanager.

Therefore, a logic implementation can be added in the onReportLocation () function in advance, so that the callback function can acquire the positioning related information of the positioning service for the positioning when the positioning based on the positioning service is detected.

3. With respect to logoff.

In an alternative embodiment, a logoff module may be deployed in the execution body device. The present embodiment does not limit the function of the cancellation module.

Alternatively, the cancellation module may be configured to cancel the location service registered for the target application in case a cancellation request of the target application is detected.

Alternatively, the cancellation module may be used to cancel a location service registered for the target application. The execution body device may invoke the cancellation module to cancel the location service registered for the target application if a cancellation request of the target application is detected.

In order to conveniently obtain the cancellation time point of the positioning service, the deployed cancellation module is utilized, optionally, the cancellation module can be modified in advance, and specifically, the function of modifying the cancellation module can be realized, and the function of obtaining the cancellation time point of the positioning service is newly added.

The cancellation module has a function of canceling the positioning service for the application, so that the cancellation time point of the positioning service can be acquired relatively accurately, and the accuracy of the cancellation time point is improved.

Thus, alternatively, the above-described method flow may be applied to a device with a cancellation module deployed.

Optionally, in the case that a logout request of the target application is detected, logging out the location service registered for the target application, and acquiring a logout time point of the location service may include: calling a logout module to execute: and under the condition that the logout request of the target application is detected, logging out the positioning service registered for the target application, and acquiring a logout time point of the positioning service.

Of course, the function of sending the cancellation time point of the positioning service to other modules may be newly added to the cancellation module, so that other modules acquire the cancellation time point of the registered positioning service.

In addition, the cancellation module with the two functions can be directly developed and deployed on the execution main device.

In order to facilitate understanding, in a specific embodiment, a third party application on the android mobile phone may log off the positioning service and release the positioning resource when positioning ends, or related services end, or the user stops opening positioning rights, etc. Specifically, a function onRemovableListenerUnRegisteration () for deregistering the LMS is called.

Therefore, a logic implementation can be added in advance in the onremoblelistenerun registration () function, so that when the positioning service cancellation is successful, the current system time point can be further acquired as the cancellation time point.

Of course, the positioning service in other systems can also be based on the same principle, and the newly added logic can achieve to acquire the logout time point.

It should be noted that the above embodiments may be combined with each other to configure a plurality of functional modules in the execution body apparatus.

2. The above 3 steps of acquiring application positioning information are explained in detail.

1. And registering the positioning service for the target application under the condition that the positioning request of the target application is detected, and acquiring the registration time point of the positioning service.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in the manner in which a target application location request is specifically detected.

Alternatively, in the case that the target application is deployed on the execution subject device, the positioning request of the target application may be directly monitored for detection.

Alternatively, in the case where the target application is deployed on a device other than the execution subject device, it may be that, in the case where a positioning request of the target application is received, a positioning service is registered for the target application, and a registration time point of the positioning service is acquired.

Alternatively, in the case of calling the registration module to perform the above steps, the registration module may be called to perform: and under the condition that the registration module receives the positioning request of the target application, registering the positioning service aiming at the target application, and acquiring the registration time point of the positioning service.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the content and form of the location request. Alternatively, the location request may include information of the target application, facilitating determination of registration of the location service for the target application based on the location request.

In addition, optionally, in order to facilitate subsequent processing, the identification information of the target application may be additionally acquired, so as to determine that the application corresponding to the registration time point of the positioning service is the target application, and facilitate subsequent distinguishing of different application positioning information according to the application.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to a particular form of target application identification information. Optionally, the identification information of the target application may include at least one of: application package name, application unique identification information, etc.

2. And under the condition that the positioning based on the registered positioning service is detected, acquiring the positioning related information of the current positioning of the registered positioning service.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to a particular manner of detecting a location service for locating.

Alternatively, the detection may be based on location information determined by the location services. Specifically, in the case where the location information determined by the location service is acquired, it may be determined that a location is performed based on the registered location service.

After registering the positioning service, one or more times of positioning can be performed according to the actual requirement of the application. And the positioning result has the possibility of successful positioning or failed positioning. And when the positioning fails, the position information cannot be acquired. Thus, alternatively, in the case where successful positioning based on the positioning service is detected, positioning related information of the present positioning of the registered positioning service may be acquired.

Alternatively, the detection may be performed directly according to the operation condition of the positioning service, for example, whether the positioning service operates a function with a positioning function. The detection mode is more comprehensive and accurate.

Alternatively, the result of successful or failed positioning may also be used as a positioning related information.

Alternatively, the positioning related information of the present positioning of the registered positioning service may be acquired each time the positioning based on the registered positioning service is detected. Thus, the number of detected positioning can also be used as a type of positioning related information.

In addition, optionally, in order to facilitate subsequent processing, the identification information of the target application may be additionally acquired, so as to determine that the application corresponding to the positioning related information is the target application, and facilitate subsequent distinguishing of different application positioning information according to the application.

3. In the case of detecting a cancellation request of a target application, a location service registered for the target application is cancelled, and a cancellation time point of the registered location service is acquired.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the manner in which a target application logout request is specifically detected.

Alternatively, in the case that the target application is deployed on the execution subject device, the detection may be performed by directly monitoring the logout request of the target application.

Alternatively, in the case where the target application is deployed on a device other than the execution subject device, it may be that, in the case where a cancellation request of the target application is received, a location service registered for the target application is cancelled, and a cancellation time point of the registered location service is acquired.

Alternatively, in the case of calling the cancellation module to perform the above steps, the cancellation module may be called, and in the case that the cancellation module receives a cancellation request of the target application, the cancellation module cancels the location service registered for the target application, and acquires a cancellation time point of the registered location service.

In an alternative embodiment, further processing may be performed for the acquired one or more application location information, and further application location information is acquired.

The present embodiment is not limited to a specific processing method. Alternatively, the directly acquired application positioning information may be integrated, and more application positioning information may be determined by means of mathematical operations or the like.

Alternatively, for the registration time point and the cancellation time point, the duration between the registration time point and the cancellation time point may be determined as the registration duration of the location service as one type of application location information.

Optionally, the number of positioning times may be further divided by the registration duration of the positioning service to obtain the positioning frequency, so that the positioning frequency is also used as an application positioning information.

Alternatively, the location information of the plurality of locations may be integrated to determine a location range as one type of application location information.

Alternatively, a real-time display mode or a delayed display mode may be adopted.

The real-time display may be to display the obtained application positioning information in real time, and the delay display may be to store the obtained application positioning information first and display the application positioning information when the display is needed.

The real-time display can conveniently improve the timeliness of the displayed application positioning information.

Optionally, the real-time display may be combined with the active display or the triggered display, and specifically, the obtained application positioning information may be sent to the display function module or the display device in real time, so that the display function module performs the active display or the triggered display.

For easy understanding, in a specific example, the obtained application positioning information may be sent to the display function module in real time, and then the display function module actively displays the application positioning information received in real time on the desktop of the mobile phone; the obtained application positioning information can be sent to the display function module in real time, and after the display function module is triggered, an interface containing the application positioning information is rendered, and the received application positioning information can be updated and displayed on the interface in real time. In particular, application positioning information which changes with time is displayed on an interface.

While, for display requests, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to a particular form and manner of detection of display requests.

Alternatively, the display request may be generated based on an active display. For example, a process running in the execution main device can periodically and actively generate a display request, so that application positioning information can be conveniently and actively displayed.

Alternatively, the display request may be generated based on a manner of triggering the display. For example, the execution subject device determines that the application positioning information needs to be displayed based on the user operation, so that the display request can be generated.

Alternatively, the display request may be generated based on a real-time display. For example, the execution subject device may generate a display request in real time for real-time display when any application positioning information is acquired.

Alternatively, the display request may be generated based on a delayed display. For example, the executing device may store the acquired application positioning information first, and display the stored application positioning information according to a periodically actively generated display request or trigger a generated display request.

Of course, the generation modes of the display request may be combined with each other. The present disclosure is not limited.

Of course, it may specifically be that any module in the execution main device obtains any application positioning information, and sends the obtained application positioning information to the display device in real time. The execution subject device may also control the display device to display the received application positioning information in real time.

Any module in the device may specifically be a registration module, a callback module or a logout module, or may also be other modules in the device. For example, other modules for obtaining positioning information of other applications according to the registration time point of the positioning service, the positioning related information, and the cancellation time point of the positioning service.

Of course, there is also a case where, in the case where the display request is detected, no application positioning information is currently acquired. Therefore, the application positioning information in the preset information set can be directly sent for display.

Optionally, in the case of detecting the display request, sending the application positioning information to the display device, so that the display device displays the application positioning information in real time, may include: and under the condition that the display request is detected, if any application positioning information is not currently acquired, presetting the application positioning information in the information set to the display equipment, so that the display equipment displays the received application positioning information in real time.

Which includes a time abscissa and waveforms corresponding to the target application. Registration time points are 2:00 and 6:00, and deregistration time points are 4:00 and 8:00. Thus there may be two high levels, 2:00-4:00, and 6:00-8:00, respectively.

The two high levels can display positioning related information, and particularly can display positioning modes, namely satellite positioning and base station positioning.

By displaying the waveform diagrams, the situation of the application positioning process can be visually displayed, so that a user can conveniently grasp the application positioning process, and the transparency degree of the application positioning process is improved.

For ease of understanding, the present disclosure also provides an application embodiment. The application positioning information acquisition method under the android system can be explained.

The following concepts are explained first.

GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System, based on the positioning module, the system can provide all-weather, all-day, high-precision positioning, navigation and time service for global users. By means of the positioning module on the mobile phone, the system can provide relatively accurate geographical position information for the user.

LM: location Manager, the Location service Manager in the android system, the open Location service of android system calls the interface agency, can call the positioning module of the mobile phone system to carry on the Location information reporting based on this, has shielded the complicated bottom communication protocol to be correlated, can be convenient to operate the mobile phone and locate the function and carry on the secondary development.

And Location Manager Service, receiving registration of the LM so as to call the system API, and further realizing the issuing of the positioning command and the reporting of the position information from top to bottom.

GLP: gnss Location Provider, satellite positioning position provider.

NLP: network Location Provider, network location provider.

FLP: fused Location Provider, converged location provider.

PLP: passive Location Provider, passive location provider.

The four types of location information providers can be explained above.

1. Application background.

GNSS is currently a very important function on mobile phones, and is one of the most frequently used functions of people in daily life, and in terms of the android system, the application of a request for location information is not limited to the use of a satellite positioning module (satellite positioning, with higher precision), but also network positioning based on network IP, a "fused position" based on fusion algorithm of the two, and a "passive positioning" mode based on the latest positioning data of the former three.

The above providers of location information are referred to as (abbreviated GLP/NLP/FLP/PLP), respectively.

In the android system layer, an application starts from a position information request, which position information provider the application uses, and when the application terminates a position information request, which is often difficult for a user to directly see, and has an opaque problem.

At present, a complete code logic framework exists under the condition that the android system requests position information for an application, the application needs to apply through the framework when the application wants to use the position information, and meanwhile, the position information reported by the framework is received, so that the code logic framework is the coding specification of the android system.

However, when the application applies for what positioning and when it terminates, these are only specific functions (corresponding) within the framework, and the application needs the location information frequently, regardless of the location, and the actual application scenario of the user is exemplified:

1) Lane-level navigation during driving requires map application and continuous use of GLP-provided position information (higher accuracy satellite positioning position).

2) The location is typically provided on the basis of NLP in indoor scenario, because no satellite positioning signal is present in the indoor, such as indoor use of ordering software, which is typically location information derived from route IP.

The above location information provider, which determines what location information is needed by the application itself, will of course generally apply for one or more (this is the freedom of the application) and when the application cancels the registration is also the freedom of the application.

This information should also be displayed to the user, increasing the transparency of the application localization process to the user.

2. The current technical proposal.

In the current technical scheme, the android system side displays the position information requested by the application in a status bar in an icon mode, which is a design that the position information is requested to be displayed to a user, but only displays that the application is requesting positioning, and the display of the application positioning process is relatively brief.

There is also a technical solution to display the number of positioning per day for the application. But this display is also somewhat simplified.

3. The technical scheme provided by the application embodiment is briefly explained.

The technical field that this technical scheme belongs to is GNSS that is the location navigation field, and present technical scheme is based on the design of android mobile phone native positioning frame and realizes, through carrying out improvement processing on the position information request, the reporting passageway of android system native positioning frame, includes:

1) The application that initiated the current positioning request (specifically, an application, named as map application [ package name: com.autonavi.minimap) as an example.

2) The time nodes (T1, T2) from the start of the request to the end of the request are recorded.

3) Based on the recorded time nodes (T1 and T2), the application behavior of the mobile phone is transmitted to the UI side in a dynamic android system broadcasting mode (integrated in the APK of a mobile phone manager and set here) and displayed in real time in a waveform mode in an oscilloscope.

According to the technical scheme, the user can intuitively know the situation of the application positioning process, and the function can display the mobile phone positioning function (system level) clearly and clearly by the calling situation of the three-party application (or system application) and display the mobile phone positioning function clearly to the user in a real-time waveform mode in terms of the user safety privacy level, so that the user-oriented function design is very friendly and transparent for the application position information request behavior.

In addition, the function can be opened to a developer in a dynamic broadcasting mode, and the development design of the more diversified system position information requested behavior record level is derived in a concentrated thinking mode.

The user may develop his own monitoring APK. This has made a further cushion to some extent on the secondary developability of the system (developer-oriented way of using APK, on the basis of not altering the source code).

For ease of understanding, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application positioning information obtaining method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

When the mobile phone opens the position information switch, the mobile phone application (APK, system or three-party) is allowed to use the position information service, and based on this, a more accurate record (which can be dumped to a database) is made on the system side (layer) for the request of the three-party application for the position information.

And visual display (real-time) can be realized on the UI side, which is the most intuitive and closest to the user (the user has intuitive knowledge of the use condition of the positioning resource of the user equipment).

In particular, it is possible to obtain the time nodes (T1, T2) from the beginning of the request to the end of the request.

A location information provider (GLP/NLP/FLP/PLP) and a time node Tp for obtaining location information may also be obtained.

T1, T2 and Tp can then be shown in the waveform diagram.

4. The technical scheme provided by the application embodiment is explained in detail.

At present, the android mobile phone can support a positioning function, and a positioning service is used as a basic service of the android system and runs automatically along with the starting of the mobile phone.

The third party application uses the logic of the System Location function to obtain the proxy of Location Service LMs (Location-Manager-Service) through Location Manager LM (Location-Manager), and further call the System interface (System-API) provided by the Service to initiate Location and obtain Location information through "callback function". The process of initiating positioning and the process of feeding back position information from the bottom layer to the upper layer through callback can be briefly summarized by the following fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an application positioning process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

The third party application APP registers a location service LMS through a location manager locator.

Here, emphasis is placed on three functions (in the entire positioning procedure):

1) The function onremovanblelisteneresistationj () (which may be referred to as a registration function) of registering the LMS service.

2) The function onRemovableListenerUnRegistration () (which may be referred to as a deregistration function) that deregisters the LMS service.

3) The bottom layer reports the position information upwards through callback, namely:

the onReportLocation () function (which may be referred to as a callback function) inside the localisation management localprovidermanager.

Four types of location information providers may be used when the positioning is explained earlier.

All four types of location information providers can be called by the upper layer APP through the location service flow shown in fig. 3, and finally the upper layer APP feeds back the location information in a callback manner, and the complete process has to go through the three functions:

registration function onemovablelisteneresistationo ();

callback function onReportLocation ();

the cancellation function onRemovabbleListenerUnRegisteration ().

Through the above analysis of the positioning process of the android system, an important conclusion can be obtained that the whole positioning process (certain application) can be monitored in real time, and various information in the positioning process can be obtained.

For example, when an application registers an LMS, to which Application (APP) the system is currently reporting Location information, which Location information provider's Location information is used, the Location information details of the reporting [ quantitative parameters of latitude and longitude, altitude, speed, etc. ], all encapsulated within the Location class ], when an application logs out of an LMS, etc.

The method specifically comprises the steps of pre-developing the 3 functions, and additionally developing a function to acquire various information in the positioning process; or developing aiming at the interior of 3 functions to acquire various information in the positioning process.

Based on this, real-time display can be visually performed by dynamic broadcasting.

Dynamic broadcasting refers to broadcasting logic under an android framework, which provides a sendcast () function, the sendcast () function takes Intent as an input parameter, and the Intent can integrate a Bundle data structure, and the structure can carry custom data structure logic, such as a (packet name, time node) logic structure used in the scheme.

By setting the reception limit, only the broadcast receiver that has checked the limit can receive the broadcast content, which is actually a data encryption manner, by which the broadcast can be provided to the third party developer, so that it can design and monitor the APK.

In addition, the dynamic broadcasting can be logged off without being declared in advance, and the function of transmitting data information to the system globally (or opening to an APK layer) can be realized to the greatest extent.

As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a dynamic broadcast according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Wherein the reception limit may be set for a module having a right so that the module may receive the dynamically broadcasted content for decryption.

Therefore, for the content sent by dynamic broadcasting, the module without the authority cannot decrypt and acquire the plaintext, the module with the authority can decrypt and acquire the plaintext, and the third-party developer can also further develop based on the content of dynamic broadcasting.

In this case, it is said that although the broadcast is broadcast to the system global, the receiving limitation of the dynamic broadcast is not satisfied, and the receiver cannot analyze the built-in data of the broadcast message, so that the data protection and the rights opening to the developer can be provided.

While specific steps in this application embodiment may include:

1) When the mobile phone is started, the LMS service is automatically tuned up and is always in an operation state as a system-level service.

2) The application must locate the resource through the logical paths of onRemovableListener registration () and onRemovableListenerUnRegistration () and onReportLocation () each time, these 3 functions are implemented in advance by code design, where the action logic is as follows:

(1) Acquiring the current application package name from the inside of the onRemovableListenerRegisteration function, recording the current request time T1, and broadcasting to the UI side in real time;

(2) acquiring the current application package name and recording the current report time Tp in the onReportlocation function, and broadcasting the current application package name to a UI side in real time (possibly no valid position report at this time, but the whole path flow is not influenced); other application location information, such as a location information provider, may also be recorded and broadcast herein.

(3) The onRemovableListenUnRegisteration function internally acquires the current application package name, records the current request time T2 and broadcasts the current request time T2 to the UI side in real time.

As shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of another application positioning process according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Among them, the specific broadcasting is dynamic broadcasting using sendroadcast () function (which may be called a broadcasting function).

The UI side may display the received data in real time, and may specifically display the received data in a real-time waveform manner.

After the UI side directly receives the broadcast and analyzes the data, two-dimensional view display can be injected, and the time is taken as the horizontal axis (the time length of one-time use can be recorded [ positioning resource occupation ]), the package name and the specific provider of the position information (GLP/NLP/FLP/PLP) are displayed on the graph in a way, so that the visual display is carried out.

Of course, an application may correspond one-to-one to a waveform. Different applications may correspond to different waveforms.

As shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an application positioning information display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

The rising edge of the waveform may be generated at the time point of registration of the LMS, specifically, may start rising at the time point of starting registration of the LMS and stop at the time point of successful registration of the LMS.

The falling edge of the waveform may also be generated at the point in time when the LMS is logged off. Specifically, the LMS may start to be logged off at a point in time when the LMS starts to be logged off, and stop at a point in time when the LMS is successfully logged off.

And for the information broadcast by the callback function, the time point of acquiring the location information and the location information provider can be included. Specifically, a flag may be displayed at the position of the point in time when the position information is acquired. Different identifications may represent different location information providers.

Therefore, through the scheme, the application positioning information can be displayed to the user more intuitively, and the transparency degree of the application positioning process is improved.

The specific display mode may be UI direct active display or may be display when triggered by the user.

Specifically, the user clicks a button of "application positioning condition" to display, or invokes an APK of a mobile phone manager to display.

As shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating another application positioning information display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

The mobile phone manager APK can call the display function step by step, render and display the broadcast content acquired in real time, and particularly can render waveforms corresponding to various applications, so that a user can conveniently and intuitively check application positioning conditions.

Of course, the display may also be performed in conjunction with application positioning information stored in the history.

According to the technical scheme, firstly, on the android underlying positioning framework side, the request positioning of a single application is started from the request position information (namely, the registration of the LMS) to the request termination (the cancellation of the LMS registration), and meanwhile, the position information provider of the request is recorded.

The method is based on the design of an android system side, the method is implanted in a source code mode, real-time recording of each position information request of the three-party application can be realized from a bottom layer, action information of the three-party application is transmitted to a UI side (a setting layer or a mobile phone manager APK side can be set or integrated at the same time) in a dynamic broadcasting mode, and the positioning condition of the application is displayed to a user in real time in an oscillographic display mode on the UI side.

And can store all application location information request behaviors of the current day, to the database (for later users to call and view or other), can also synchronize the data table to the cloud server [ can reduce the local storage consumption, for example, synchronize once every 24 hours, can delete the recorded data of the first 24 hours of the local time ].

In addition, the architecture is realized based on the android positioning service framework design, is a function integrated into the architecture, and can reduce the extra power consumption of the system (the broadcasting mode is actually extremely low in power consumption, and the architecture is used as one of four android components, so that the stability and the safety are better, and the risk of privacy exposure of a user is not increased).

In a specific display mode, the display can be directly performed on the desktop of the mobile phone, the display can be triggered, and whether the display is performed or not can be conveniently set by a user by adding a switch.

1) A control switch is added inside the setting option to control the on and off of the function, and the logic mainly acts inside the bottom-layer onReportLocation () function and on the upper-layer UI display side.

(1) Disable the function when the switch is closed and enable the function when the switch is opened.

(2) Because of the dynamic broadcasting mode, power consumption is not generated during closing, and meanwhile, the risk of crash, the risk of privacy disclosure and the like of the system are not caused.

2) The display may be selected on the "setup" side or the "desktop" side. It is also possible to choose whether to set the active display or to trigger the display.

As shown in fig. 9, fig. 9 is a display mode setting interface diagram illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

In addition, the intelligent mobile phone can support various functional expansion (mainly embodied on a UI display layer, such as a user can customize and display curve types, topics, icons and the like), and the user can obtain better intelligent mobile phone use experience.

According to the technical scheme, the use condition of the application on the android system positioning resource is recorded on the system side and is broadcasted to the UI side in real time, and the transparency degree of the application positioning process is passed.
