Description

A portable wireless terminal having a GPS reception function

The present invention relates to an object position tracking system using a global positioning system (GPS) satellite. More specifically, the GPS receiver has a built-in GPS reception function and is manufactured to be easily attached and carried on an object that cannot express its position by its intention. The present invention relates to a portable wireless terminal with a built-in GPS receiver that can transmit information.

Recently, GPS satellites have been used to determine the location and speed of moving objects such as trains, cars, ships, aircrafts, etc., or to determine movement routes. The location tracking device using the GPS satellites receives radio waves indicating latitude, longitude, altitude, and speed from the GPS satellites and displays the current location of the object on a screen with map information. Specifically, the information transmission system utilizing the GPS satellites is largely a GPS satellite, a GPS satellite signal receiver for receiving GPS satellite signals, an arithmetic unit for extracting location information from signals received from the GPS satellites, and the calculated location information for map information. It consists of the output device shown in the figure, and various hardware equipment or apparatuses are mobilized to visually implement it.

However, the location tracking system using GPS satellites has very high accuracy in the positioning of moving objects and the accuracy of the measurement results, but has various defects in terms of measuring objects, application functions, auxiliary equipment and devices, and facilities. In other words, the location measurement service using GPS satellites can be used to determine the location and speed of a location measurement object, or to provide location or location information for public or commercial purposes, depending on the purpose of the car, personal navigation, or military purposes within the military. have. However, this service field is used only in a special field that is far from ordinary people, and the reality is that it is rarely used in the field where location tracking is necessary in everyday life. In other words, the need for location tracking in ordinary people's lives is more necessary in areas where it is impossible, rather than in areas where they can express their intentions and use tracking media. For example, infants, infants, babies, infants, dementia patients, senile patients, pets, lost items such as stolen vehicles and briefcases are not able to express their position by their doctor, so location tracking is necessary. However, the current positioning system or service system using GPS satellites cannot provide the location information for the tracking object which is incapable of expressing the position by the doctor.

In addition, in the case of the position measurement system utilizing the current GPS satellites, all the equipments and devices such as the terminal mounted or carried on the position measuring object and the system of the service center are all expensive equipment, and the general public has no economic burden, like household goods. It is impossible to equip and use.

In addition, the positioning system utilizing the current GPS satellites has to additionally carry or carry a mobile communication terminal such as a PCS phone or a cellular phone for communication between a terminal mounted or carried on a positioning object and a service center. It is not only economically burdensome to carry this mobile communication terminal to a lost object such as a bar, a pet dog, a lost child or a bag, but it is impossible to use the lost object by itself.

Above all, the current positioning system using GPS satellites is not easy to carry and use on a daily basis due to the bulky and heavy weight of the terminal mounted or carried on the positioning object.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned points, a portable radio with a built-in GPS reception function that can be easily used by making a compact and portable GPS reception function on a wireless terminal mounted on a positioning object. In providing a terminal.
