It also provides a variety of applications, such as regional life information services, parent-child care (tracing for people), and field dispatch services. [Previous technology] Obtaining mobile phone location information is one of the important development directions of mobile communications today. There are many technologies that can provide mobile phone positioning functions, but the accuracy, cost, construction time, and impact on the Internet and mobile phones of various technologies are various. There are different. Some technologies require mobile software upgrades, mobile firmware upgrades, or phone replacements, such as Global Positioning System (GPS), Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD); and some technologies require high costs on the Internet Location Measurement Unit (LMU or Location Receiver; LR), such as E-OTD, TDOA (Time Difference Of Arrival), TOA (Time Of Arrival), AOA (Angle Of Arrival), Fingerprint, etc. Only the cellular positioning mechanism does not need to change the mobile phone and increase the positioning device; however, such functions often require the application program interface (Application Program Interface) provided by the mobile switching equipment manufacturer, and the Wei commercial technology cannot be transplanted to each other. Therefore, how to use the routing function of all mobile switches to obtain the cell information of the mobile phone is the focus of the present invention. It can be seen that there are still many shortcomings and deficiencies in the above-mentioned conventional techniques. They are not a good designer and need to be improved. In view of the various shortcomings derived from the conventional technology, the inventor of this case urgently improved and innovated. After years of painstaking research, he finally successfully developed the cellular positioning method using signal interception method. [Objective of the Invention] The object of the present invention is to provide a cellular positioning method using a signal interception method, which utilizes the basic switching network function of a mobile communications operator to establish the cell divergence capability of a mobile phone for various purposes. Use of comparative application services. The secondary-objective of the present invention is to provide a cellular positioning method using a signal interception method, which can be applied to various brands of mobile switching networks. The present invention requires that the mobile switching network materials are provided by all manufacturers, including The switch can obtain mobile phone sending cell information, the switch is capable of processing routing information and making transfer actions, and using the SS7 signal network to pass routing information. Therefore, there is no need for each manufacturer to cooperate with each other, and it can be set by the data personnel (the original route is automatically set, or the situation data is set). Another object of the present invention is to provide a cellular positioning method using a signal interception method, which has a fast positioning speed. Most positioning technologies require a positioning time of about 3 to 10 seconds, and the heating time of positioning is longer. . The present invention retrieves the call setup (Call Setup) routing information, so the location information is obtained before the call is set up, without any delay time. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of using a signal interception method, a cell-type nipping method, which is consistent with the service range of the mobile communication network, and the service range of the non-location network and the mobile network is not the same. On the mobile network but cannot locate the situation, as long as the mobile phone is in the mobile network service area, can provide location services. Another objective of this Maoming is to provide a cellular positioning method that uses a signal interception method. It only needs to extract the SS7 signal information equipment. This equipment is a standard device in the market and there is no need for wireless equipment that assists in positioning. It has a large wireless auxiliary position (LMU or LR), and establishes a positioning result transmission network, which has good scalability characteristics. It only needs to expand the SS7 ^ 5Tiger interceptor capacity, which is easily available on the market. Location service capacity. The other purpose of the present invention is to provide a cellular positioning method using a signal interception method, which has the characteristics of low construction cost, low maintenance cost, and short construction time because it does not require additional wireless devices and Network, construction and maintenance costs are very low, and the construction lead time required is also very short. [Summary of the Invention] The cellular positioning method using the signal interception method to achieve the above-mentioned ^ sun and moon purpose is to use the situation setting method of the switch in the mobile parent network to add the cell number of the mobile phone to the routing at the sending switch. After the information is called, these routing information will be sent to the gateway switch along the connection path. Yu Xian also used the signal generator to extract the signal. From it, the cell number 588160 was parsed, and the known latitude and longitude of the base station and cell orientation were used to estimate the latitude and longitude of the mobile phone. Of course, the estimated location accuracy depends on the cell size, but for many mobile positioning services, the accuracy of the cell size is sufficient. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1. The operation flow diagram of the cellular positioning method using the signal interception method provided by the present invention is shown in the figure. According to the figure, the present invention mainly uses the routing function of the basic equipment of the telecommunication network. Signal interceptor and cell database. _ For example: If the mobile phone (mobile phone) 1 · (number “0912345678”) dials “0933000369”, if the mobile phone (mobile phone) 1 is based on the cell base station 2 of the cell number “32706 '·”, the connection is sent. To switch 3 (sending switch B), sending switch B adds the sending cell number under the item of routing information ('Ό933000369 ") to become" 93300036932706 ". After the routing information is passed in the signaling network, it is finally Delivered to the gateway switch 4. Use the SS7 Signal Analyzer (SS7 Protocol Analyzer) 6 to obtain routing information (including information "093300036932706" on the signal line from the signal transfer point (STP) 5 to the gateway / switch 4 "), Then the information will be sent to the position server 7, the position server 7 will analyze the starting cell number" 32706 ", and use the base station latitude and longitude and cell orientation to obtain the reference latitude and longitude (121.12345 24.34567) (the estimated value of the mobile phone sending position ), When various mobile positioning application services 8 need to send the location of the mobile phone, query its estimated position with η0912345678π number The position server 7 will return the latitude and longitude (121.12345 24 · 34567). It can be seen that as long as the basic electrical 8 588160 communication equipment is used, the standing information of the mobile speech equipment can be obtained.
