Background
The impaired intellectual population mainly refers to the progressive cognitive function degradation caused by brain injury or disease, and the amplitude of the degradation is far higher than that of the population who is progressing to normal aging, and is more common to the population suffering from Alzheimer's disease. In the context of aging society, the population proportion of the people with impaired intelligence is continuously rising, which leads to a certain care pressure for society and families. Caregivers often have difficulty dealing with complex cognitive impairment symptoms and variable mental performance abnormalities and the resultant series of problems. The prevention of frailty of a person suffering from a mental disorder is one of the most important problems, for example, the crowd of people who are lost to the intelligence may leave the district or the gate of the senior citizen's institution following the visitor, or the people who are lost to the intelligence may go to a dangerous area in the public space by themselves, resulting in frailty of the people who are lost to the intelligence. On the other hand, in real life, there is also a risk of easy loss in special people such as aged people, children, down patients, mental disease patients, autism patients, and the like.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The present invention is an architecture of a specific functional system, so that in a specific embodiment, functional logic relationships of each structural module are mainly described, and specific software and hardware implementations are not limited.
In addition, the technical features of the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other. The invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.
Example 1:
in order to reduce the positioning power consumption of the positioning device used by the person to be positioned, and avoid the situation that the positioning device stops working due to too low power consumption or forgets to carry due to frequent charging, the embodiment provides a low-power-consumption positioning method, so that the positioning device can work stably for a long time, and the risk of losing the person to be positioned is reduced.
As shown in fig. 1, the method for locating personnel provided by the embodiment of the invention specifically comprises the following steps:
step 101: surrounding environment information is collected by positioning equipment carried by a person to be positioned, and the environment information and an equipment identifier are sent to the passing marking equipment, wherein the environment information comprises electronic environment information and/or natural environment information.
In the method provided in this embodiment, in order to replace the high-power-consumption satellite positioning mode in the prior art, the marking device is used to obtain the position and the action track of the positioning device in the safe area, and since the distance between the marking device and the positioning device is relatively short, various low-power-consumption communication modes can be used to perform data interaction between the positioning device and the marking device, for example, a low-power-consumption bluetooth device is used to reduce the power consumption of the positioning device as much as possible. The positioning device only needs to simply acquire the surrounding environment information of the positioning device and send the environment information to the marking device so that the marking device can perform comparison and matching.
In practical implementation, in order to ensure that the information sent by the positioning device can be received, the information sending mode preferably uses broadcast sending, and all the marking devices in the signal range of the positioning device can receive the information and perform corresponding calculation and response.
In a specific implementation, the environmental information collected by the positioning device may be electronic environmental information or natural environmental information, and the electronic environmental information is preferably used because the collection power consumption of the electronic environmental information is lower and the accuracy is higher.
On the other hand, in the same area, there may be a plurality of positioning devices, and in order for the marking device to distinguish each positioning device, the positioning device also needs to transmit its own device identifier to the marking device so that the marking device identifies each positioning device by the device identifier.
Step 102: and a plurality of marking devices are distributed in the interval where the personnel to be positioned possibly act, the marking devices acquire the action track of the positioning device according to the received environmental information and the device identifier, and the positioning device is judged to leave or enter the safety area according to the action track.
In the method provided by the embodiment, the marking device is used for positioning the positioning device. The marking device need not be carried around, so that an active device or a high-power battery can be used without limitation of power consumption. In this embodiment, the marking device performs the main data processing and positioning tasks to reduce the power consumption of the positioning device. And each marking device records the positioning devices passing through the range of the marking device, integrates the positioning device information recorded by all the marking devices, and obtains the action track of the positioning device according to the positions of the marking devices and the passing sequence of the positioning devices.
The marking device may use a fixed device, such as a fixed location WiFi router, bluetooth broadcast station, base station, etc.; devices with positioning functionality that are insensitive to power consumption, such as WiFi, mobile base stations, mobile communication devices for accompanying or managing personnel on vehicles, etc. may also be used. In a specific implementation, a suitable marking device can be selected according to actual needs so as to adapt to more use scenes.
In practical implementation, the marking device continuously broadcasts and transmits its own service identifier, and the positioning device uses the received service identifier as environment information of the positioning device. When the marking device obtains that the action track of a certain device has the possibility of leaving the safety area, alarm information is sent to the corresponding positioning device one to one according to the device identifier, and the alarm information of the positioning device is sent to the bound accompanying person.
In this embodiment, an area where the person to be positioned can safely and freely move is referred to as a safety area, and the key for preventing the person to be positioned from getting lost is to avoid the person to be positioned from leaving the safety area. In practical implementation, the safety area may be a fixed area, such as a closed residential area where a person to be located resides, a closed-managed nursing home or hospital, etc.; but may also be a moving area such as an enclosed vehicle interior, within a certain range around a caregiver, etc. The boundary of the multi-layer safety area can be set according to the daily activity condition of the personnel to be positioned, for example, a building occupied by the personnel to be positioned is a first-layer safety area, a residential district is a second-layer safety area, and a residential neighborhood is a third-layer safety area. In the layout of the marking devices, a required number of marking devices may be provided inside, outside, and boundary of the security area, respectively, as needed.
When the positioning device enters the range of the marking device positioned at the boundary of the safety area, for example, enters the range of the marking device arranged in the exit-entry area or the entrance-exit area of the salon, the risk that the positioning device leaves the safety area is indicated, the marking device positioned at the boundary of the safety area needs to judge the advancing direction of the personnel to be positioned according to the action track of the positioning device, alarm is given when the personnel to be positioned possibly leaves the safety area, and the positioning device is controlled to perform positioning with higher precision.
Step 103: when the positioning equipment enters the safety area, a positioning module on the positioning equipment is closed, and the personnel to be positioned are positioned according to the action track acquired by the marking equipment.
When the personnel to be positioned is positioned outside the safety area, the risk of losing is higher, marking equipment does not exist nearby, the positioning equipment needs to be started or kept to be started, and the positioning module is positioned in a mode with higher precision such as GPS positioning, so that the position of the positioning equipment can be queried at any time, and the safety of the personnel to be positioned is ensured. When the personnel to be positioned are positioned in the safety area, the risk of losing is low, and only the marking equipment is needed to confirm the approximate position of the personnel to be positioned, so that the power consumption of the positioning equipment is reduced, the endurance time of the positioning equipment is prolonged, and the situation that the electric quantity of the positioning equipment is exhausted and cannot be used or frequent charging is needed is avoided.
In order to further reduce the power consumption, the positioning device may not continuously maintain the communication state within the secure area, but rather perform data interaction according to the data interaction module and the marking device being turned on at specified time intervals. For example, every 10 seconds, a data interaction is performed, so that the marking device obtains the current position of the positioning device. In a state of non-continuous communication, in order to avoid that a person to be positioned enters a position where the marking device does not exist when communication is interrupted, when the positioning device starts communication, information of the marking device cannot be collected, or when information replied by the marking device is not received, a positioning module of the positioning device needs to be started, so that the current position of the positioning device is timely acquired.
After steps 101-103 provided in this embodiment, the marking device and the positioning device may cooperate to position the person to be positioned on the premise that the positioning device has as low power consumption as possible.
The positioning device carried by the person to be positioned needs to collect surrounding environmental information, and the following simple provides a method for acquiring some environmental information, and in practical implementation, other methods can be used for acquiring or other environmental information can be acquired according to the needs.
(1) The locating device scans the surrounding marking devices and collects the service identifiers of the marking devices.
Each tag device has its own service identifier and continues to broadcast, so that the location device can scan all the surrounding tag devices for service identifiers, and use the tag device's service identifier as one of the context information.
In practical implementation, multiple marking devices may exist in the same area, and signal ranges of the marking devices may overlap, and at this time, the positioning device may collect service identifiers of the multiple marking devices at the same time. In performing positioning, it is necessary to select the nearest marker device as a position reference for the positioning device, whereas in wireless communication, the closer the device is, the stronger the signal is generally. Therefore, the positioning device sorts the signal strengths of the scanned marking devices, acquires the service identifiers of the specified number of marking devices with the strongest signal strength, and takes the acquired specified number of service identifiers as the service identifiers of the surrounding marking devices. In practice, the number of marking devices specified may be generally 1-3 in order to minimize the positioning reference range.
(2) The positioning device scans the surrounding wireless networks and collects wireless network identifiers.
The data interaction module of the positioning device can scan surrounding wireless networks, such as WiFi, bluetooth, wireless base stations, and the like, each network has a corresponding wireless network identifier, and the marking devices in the same range can also acquire the corresponding wireless network identifiers, so that the wireless network identifiers can be used as one of environment information.
(3) And acquiring surrounding natural environment information by the positioning information, and collecting the characteristics of the natural environment information.
When the positioning device and the marking device are located in the same range, surrounding noise, images, and other natural environment information are also consistent, so that the natural environment information can be used as one of the environment information.
In the above environment information, the service identifier and the wireless network identifier are both electronic environment information, and the electronic environment information is easier to obtain and easier to compare than the natural environment information, so when the electronic environment information can be obtained, the electronic environment information is preferably used as the environment information for comparison. However, in some scenarios, the positioning device cannot obtain the service identifier and the wireless network identifier, and at this time, it is necessary to use the natural environment information for comparison.
When the positioning equipment can collect the service identifier, the surrounding marking equipment is indicated, the positioning equipment directly sends the environment information to the nearby marking equipment, and the marking equipment reports the environment information so as to reduce the power consumption of the positioning equipment. On the other hand, when the positioning equipment cannot acquire the service identifier, the situation that the marking equipment possibly does not exist around is indicated, the risk of losing the personnel to be positioned is high, and at the moment, the positioning equipment directly reports the environment information through the data interaction module so as to discover the condition of losing the personnel to be positioned in time.
In order to further reduce the power consumption of the positioning device for transmitting information, a service identifier list of the marking device located at the boundary of the safety area can be maintained on the positioning device, when the positioning device is connected with the marking device located at the boundary of the non-safety area of the acquired service identifier, the positioning device is indicated to be located at the middle position of the safety area, the possibility of missing is low, at the moment, service identifier information can be only transmitted to the marking device, and the marking device can be compared only by the service identifier information. When the positioning device is connected with the marking device with the collected service identifier being the boundary of the safety area, the positioning device is indicated to be positioned at the boundary position of the safety area, the possibility of losing is high, and at the moment, various environment information needs to be sent so as to obtain more searching instructions after the personnel to be positioned leave the safety area.
As shown in fig. 2, after receiving the environmental information sent by the positioning device, the marking device obtains the action track of the positioning device according to the received environmental information and the device identifier.
Step 201: the marking device compares the received environment information with the information of the own environment, and judges whether the positioning device is positioned in the range of the self according to the comparison result.
The marking device compares the environment information of the positioning device with the self information, and if the environment information and the self information are consistent, the positioning device and the marking device are located in the same range.
Step 202: and when the positioning mark is positioned in the range of the marking device, reporting the device identifier of the positioning device.
When the marking device judges that the positioning device and the marking device are positioned in the same range, the marking device reports the device identifier of the positioning device, and the position information of the marking device is used as the current position of the positioning device.
Step 203: and obtaining the action track of the positioning equipment according to the position of the marking equipment for reporting the equipment identifier and the reporting sequence.
And connecting the reported position point information according to the reporting sequence, so as to obtain a path route and a forward direction of the positioning equipment and obtain a movement track of the positioning equipment.
After steps 201 to 203 provided in this embodiment, the action track of the positioning device may be obtained by comparing the environmental information of the positioning device and the environmental information of the marking device, so as to position the person to be positioned.
In step 201, different comparison methods may be used for different environmental information, and the following comparison method for some environmental information is provided simply, and in actual implementation, other manners may be used for comparison, or other environmental information may be compared as required.
(1) The marking device compares the received service identifier with its own service identifier, and when the received service identifier contains its own service identifier, it indicates that the positioning device is located in the range of the marking device.
The locating device is able to receive the service identifier of a corresponding marking device when it is within the signal range of the marking device. Therefore, if the acquired service identifier of the positioning device includes the service identifier of the positioning device, the environment information of the positioning device matches with the environment information sent by the positioning device.
(2) The marking device compares the received wireless network identifier with the wireless network identifier acquired by the marking device, and when the received wireless network identifier is consistent with the wireless network identifier acquired by the marking device, the marking device indicates that the positioning device is positioned in the range of the marking device.
Within the same range, wireless network signals that can be found by different wireless devices are substantially identical. Thus, if the wireless network identifier acquired by the positioning device is identical to the wireless network identifier acquired by the marking device, the environment information of the two is identical.
(3) The marking device compares the received natural environment information with the natural environment information acquired by the marking device, and when the received natural environment information is consistent with the natural environment information acquired by the marking device, the marking device indicates that the positioning device is positioned in the range of the marking device.
In the same range, the natural environment information collected by different devices is basically consistent, for example, noise is similar, and the same characteristic object exists in the environment image. Therefore, if the natural environment information collected by the positioning device is consistent with the natural environment information collected by the marking device, the environment information of the positioning device and the natural environment information are consistent.
Therefore, by comparing different environmental information, whether the positioning equipment and the marking equipment are located in the same range can be confirmed, and the positioning equipment is positioned by the position of the marking equipment.
In the method provided by the embodiment, the positioning module in the positioning device is closed in the safety area, and the positioning module in the positioning device is opened outside the safety area, so that the positioning mode needs to be switched when the positioning device enters the safety area and leaves the safety area. As shown in fig. 3, the following manner may be used to determine whether the positioning device leaves or enters the safe area according to the action trajectory.
Step 301: when the marking equipment positioned at the boundary of the safety area judges that the positioning equipment is positioned in the area where the marking equipment is positioned, the advancing direction of the action track is acquired.
The positioning mode does not need to be switched when the positioning device is always within the safe area or the safe area is active. When the positioning device enters the range of the marking device at the boundary of the safety area, the positioning device may enter or leave the safety area, at this time, it is required to judge that the person to be positioned enters or leaves the safety area currently according to the action track, and perform corresponding positioning mode switching according to the judgment result.
Step 302: when the action track extends from inside to outside the safety area, the positioning device is indicated to leave the safety area.
If the action track passes through the marking device in the safety area and then passes through the marking device at the boundary of the safety area, the positioning device possibly leaves the safety area.
Step 303: when the action track extends from outside the safety area to inside the safety area, the positioning device is indicated to enter the safety area.
If the action track passes through the marking device outside the safety area first and then passes through the marking device on the boundary of the safety area or does not pass through any marking device within a certain period before passing through the marking device on the boundary of the safety area, the positioning device possibly enters the safety area.
After steps 301-303 provided in this embodiment, it may be determined that the current positioning device is about to leave or enter the security area.
In some practical scenarios, there may be situations where the room in which the person to be located resides is located at the edge of the security area, e.g. the room in which the person to be located resides is close to the outer wall of a cell or hospital. In order to avoid misjudgment in the scene, the switching standard of the positioning mode can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and more judgment conditions are added. For example, the marking device in the room where the person to be positioned resides is bound with the positioning device, when the positioning device enters the range where the bound marking device is located, the person to be positioned is indicated to be located in the living room and is in a safe state, and the positioning module on the positioning device is closed.
In some practical scenarios, due to a fault or poor signal of a marking device located at the boundary of the safety area, when a person to be positioned leaves the safety area, a positioning module on the positioning device cannot be started in time. To avoid this problem, the positioning module on the positioning device is turned on when the closing time of the positioning module on the positioning device exceeds a preset time. In a certain scene, the positioning module is in a closed state and is communicated with the marking equipment for more than ten minutes before, at this time, the positioning module needs to be started every 5 minutes, and when the obtained positioning data is outside the safety area, the satellite positioning module is kept open so as to prevent the personnel to be positioned from being lost due to the identification failure on the boundary of the safety area.
In some practical scenarios, because the building blocks of the urban residential district often do not enter the room, and only in the outdoor environment between the buildings, the signals of the positioning satellites are greatly attenuated or difficult to detect, which can cause a great increase in the power consumption of the positioning module. In order to solve this technical problem. When the person to be positioned approaches the safety area, the position of the positioning device can be identified through the marking device positioned at the boundary of the safety area, so that the positioning module is closed in advance. The method can prevent satellite signals from being bad and reduce the overall power consumption of the low-power-consumption positioning equipment more accurately. To ensure accurate determination of the position location, this decision method must combine the signal strength with a plurality of service identifiers to make the decision.
The personnel positioning method provided by the embodiment has the following technical advantages:
1. the marking device is subjected to broadcast communication through the low-power-consumption data interaction module integrated on the positioning device, and the interaction of environment information is completed, so that the accurate positioning of indoor and safe area boundaries is realized.
2. The action of starting and closing the positioning module is triggered on the boundary of the safety area, so that the positioning module of the positioning equipment is kept dormant in the safety area to save electric quantity, the positioning equipment has longer battery endurance, and the battery charging frequency is reduced.
