Shown in accompanying drawing 1 block diagram of system, described individualized mobile communication location positioning system (being moving positioning device) comprises a positional information acquisition module, display module, memory module, state setting module, data management module and information sending module.This device can be implemented in such as on the mobile communication terminals such as mobile phone.
The positional information acquisition module obtains positional information coding (LOCI) or network measure result (NMR), and the notice display module; Display module is compared the data in current position information coding and network measure result and the database, if these data exist, display module just is shown to the user with its pairing place name, otherwise it will show this positional information coding, and whether the prompting user preserves this positional information coding as shown in Figure 2 with the form of place name; If the user selects to preserve, the positional information memory module just deposits positional information coding and corresponding place name in the database in the lump.Because the positional information coding not only comes from this machine user, also may derive from other users or equipment, the positional information memory module also will be carried out necessary classification in the process of storage, so that the position data administration module is handled; The work of position data administration module mainly is for the place name in user's daily management database and its corresponding position information coding, as storing, delete, move, change functions such as place name and tabulation demonstration.Along with the continuous increase of user record, if database is full, the position data administration module also has the function of backup database, exactly user's data storehouse integral body is copied in computer or other memory device; Information sending module is that existing information sends to a certain destination address in the positional information of will be in real time gathering or the database, this destination address can be a certain mobile phone users or location based service provider, so that the place name of both sides' query aim positional information coding, it is the interface of resource-sharing; State setting module is the automatic mode that system is set for the user, and system has two kinds of auto states at present.A kind of is the automatically recording position information function, and promptly as user during from the three unities to another place, system can be automatically with some positional informations codings storage automatically (storage number or time, distance are set by the user at interval).Another kind is automatic sending function, and wherein this function also has three kinds of patterns, pattern one: if when customer location changes, system can send positional information automatically and encode to a certain predefined user or location based service provider.Pattern two: another that set as the user or a plurality of user are when this machine is asked for positional information, and system will send the positional information of this machine automatically and encode to setting the user.Pattern three: send by the time.If the user has set time and targeted customer, when the time of setting arrived, system sent to the targeted customer automatically with the positional information coding of this machine so.State setting module is high responsive module, and it also has special cipher protection system as shown in Figure 6, and when the password of user's input error, current auto state can not be reset or show.
According to a second aspect of the invention, provide second kind of moving positioning device, it can be implemented on the general SIM card.Second kind of moving positioning device comprises: a positional information receiver module is used for receiving the locating information via at least one base station transmission of mobile communication system as described in a transceiver (as the antenna) collection; A positional information memory module is used for after collecting described locating information, and described locating information is stored in the positional information memory module with the place name that a user selectes relatedly; A display control module is used for described place name and/or described locating information are outputed to an external display, to be shown to the user.
Above-mentioned second kind of moving positioning device need with a transceiver, display collaborative work.Described transceiver, display can but be not limited to provide by a portable terminal.
Specify the example of the location method that uses the present invention's proposition below.
Example 1: guard the not people of the complete capacity of tool.
The most typical application of the present invention is to guard the not people of the complete capacity of tool, as: minor, old man and patient etc.Guard child below in conjunction with the present invention with regard to father and mother and give one example, can divide following three ones to finish:
One, collection position information is set up database:
Father and mother can according to child's situation gather child often come in and go out the place positional information and deposit on the terminal or SIM card of oneself.Such as the school of father and mother to child, utilize the present invention to inquire about own current position, obtain the positional information coding: (460 are country code MCC to 460 00 0128 3C2A, 00 is network code MNC, 0128 is area code LAC, 3C2A is base coded Cell ID), system should encode " 460 00 0128 3C2A " be shown to the user and the prompting coding is converted into place name, if by user's called after " child's school ", encode so 460 00 0128 3C2A and " child's school " will deposit on terminal or the SIM card correspondingly.As shown in Figure 3.Father and mother position encoded with family in like manner: 460 00 0128 1A22 called afters " family " deposit terminal or SIM card in, as shown in Figure 4.By that analogy, the positional information in father and mother can basis the needs of oneself gather a plurality of children often come in and go out place deposits terminal or SIM card in, and location database just has been established like this.Father and mother also can utilize network measure result (NMR), deposit a place name of several NMR correspondences in terminal or SIM card, can make determined position more accurate like this.Father and mother only need determine child's scope of activities in this example, do not need to determine the residing exact position of child, so only adopt position encoded getting final product.Be that coding (LOCI) is put in fetch bit or network measure result (NMR) need not to pay any expense for this reason in the process of image data, memory capacity according to user terminal or SIM card, the positional information of database storage is the amount doesn't matter, and the user needn't worry the problem of expense for this reason.The positional information that obtains as the user is coded in the database and exists, and system shows will not be positional information coding but the user is this position encoded place name of editing.If father and mother come school's inquiry current location of child again, by the contrast in database, system can show that current location is " child's a school " so, rather than coding " 460 00 0128 3C2A ".Therefore, this position encodedly couples together with the place name of personalization really as can be seen, makes the coding that is difficult for understanding become apparent place name.
Two, default:
After father and mother have set up required database, will child's terminal be provided with.Otherwise be mutually can not set up inquiry with by the relation of being inquired about.At first child's terminal also must be supported all functions of the present invention.In state setting module, import user cipher, as shown in Figure 6, whether system queries conforms to the password of setting, if conform to then enter the operation of next, if be not inconsistent the number of times that system can check input error earlier, when importing the password errors number less than the number of times that is allowed to, system will continue to allow the user input correct password, and simultaneity factor can increase the errors number record one time; If correct when the user inputs password once more, the errors number record will be cleared; If or mistake, the errors number record can continue to add up so, and up to greater than the errors number that is allowed to, system will not allow user's verification password again, and will not allow to enter next operation, the user will untie password and unblank according to the agreement of commerce with regard to needing the professional.
When child's terminal enters state setting module after cryptographic check is errorless, father and mother need the termination number of oneself is deposited in " automatically replying number " storehouse.Terminal as father and mother child when child's terminal sends the place information inquiry request will automatically reply its current location information coding like this.In order not allow the other-end user illegally to inquire about, when the position enquiring request is received by system, can at first look into the number that whether has inquiry terminal in " automatically replying number " storehouse, if do not have, terminal will be ignored this user's query requests, thereby increase the safety of communication between father and mother and child.Can also set other automatic sending functions the state setting module father and mother, as sending positional information and timed sending positional information etc. when the change in location of child terminal automatically.Automatic sending function is set at unlatching during with change in location, father and mother need to deposit the termination number of oneself in system, and the automatic number of times that sends of appointment, when the zone that child's terminal covers from a base station cover to another base station regional the time, system will send new positional information automatically to father and mother, and the transmission number of times that is set simultaneously can subtract one.Change once more if cover the base station of child terminal, system will continue to send, and be reduced to till zero up to sending number of times; For timed sending function, as alarm clock.After setting the number of concrete transmitting time and receiving terminal, system can send to positional information at that time the terminal of appointment automatically when this time arrives.
Three, inquiring position
When father and mother need inquire about the current position of child, by information sending module input child's of the present invention termination number, this module was sent to the form of position enquiring request instruction with note on child's the terminal.Suppose that the child terminal present position is a school, terminal can reply to position encoded 460 00 0128 3C2A of school father and mother's terminal again by way of short messages so.After father and mother's terminal is received child's current location coding, it is position encoded at first to inquire about this in the database of this machine, because 460 00 0128 3C2A are called " child's school " on the ground of this machine correspondence, display module of the present invention will be write information " the target terminal current location is: child's school " automatically and be shown to the user again.If when father and mother send the position enquiring request, child position does not at that time have record on parent terminal or SIM card, that is to say child may be or not place that any father and mother write down, the positional information that father and mother's terminal is received is such as being 460 00 0,123 4567, and display module will show " the target terminal current location is: 460 00 0,123 4567 (unknown place names) " so.At this moment, if father and mother also want to determine child's position, he still can send to existing location based service provider with positional information 460 00 0,123 4567 and inquire about.As shown in Figure 5.For the positional information of from child terminal, sending, no matter be the result of father and mother's active request, or child terminal send by automatic mode, all identical in the processing of parent terminal with aforesaid way.
Example 2: database is shared
Another characteristics of the present invention are that the database between a plurality of users is shared.Two and plural user can transmit the positional information storehouse of oneself mutually, utilize the other side's database can determine a certain position of the other side's appointment, to reach the purpose that shows the way.
Say such as ground: user's first sends express mail to user's second by express mail company, user's second can send to own current position information express delivery person third (if having user's second current location information and place name in the database of user's first, user's first also can send to this positional information express delivery person third).When express delivery person third came the destination according to Shipping Address, consistent with the positional information that user's second (first) provides by the positional information that the inquiry current location obtains, this illustrated that express delivery person third can determine that its place that arrives is the user appointed place.
For another example: industries such as express delivery, logistics, postal service, its deliveryman can gather some addresses by way of parenthesis in the process of deliver goods positional information sends to a certain fixed terminal then, this fixed terminal can be the special equipment that its intra-company's agreement is specialized in record position information, it has huge data storage capacities, can store positional information and place name that all deliverymans send.This fixed terminal that accumulates over a long period just has the positional information storehouse that meets the said firm's service needed.Administrative staff in the company can guide deliveryman's delivery route and deliver goods place by this database, supervise the current position of deliveryman at any time, reach then and increase work efficiency, cost-effective purpose.
