精確的定位技術(也就是說,隨時掌握一個裝置的位置)可藉由全球衛星導航系統(Global Navigation Satellite System,GNSS)接收器以實施。舉例而言,美國國防部所開發的NAVSTAR全球定位系統(Global Positioning System,GPS)對全球各個角落提供衛星定位資訊,如此,接收器可根據所接收之衛星定位資訊得到精確的位置。Precise positioning techniques (that is, the ability to know the location of a device at any time) can be implemented by a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. For example, the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS) developed by the US Department of Defense provides satellite positioning information to all corners of the world. Thus, the receiver can obtain accurate position based on the received satellite positioning information.
一般而言,全球衛星導航系統接收器(或稱全球定位系統接收器)包含一天線,用來接收全球定位系統衛星傳來的無線電訊號,以及一定位電路,用來根據全球定位系統衛星所傳來的無線電訊號,以決定天線的位置,並產生對應的位置資料。天線可置入全球定位系統接收器,也可經由一線路外接。行動裝置可結合全球定位系統接收器及其他裝置,以提供使用全球定位系統接收器產生的位置資料之功能。In general, a global satellite navigation system receiver (or global positioning system receiver) includes an antenna for receiving radio signals from global positioning system satellites, and a positioning circuit for transmitting according to global positioning system satellites.

請參考第3圖,第3圖係為說明適用於網路系統10、12之行動裝置100之一實施例。行動裝置100包含一外框105、一顯示幕110設置於外框105上、用來讓使用者控制行動裝置100之控制台或控制按鈕120、一類似於全球定位系統接收器22、32之全球定位系統接收器130、用來與基地台40通訊之收發器140、一記憶體150,以及一處理器160。記憶體150用來儲存程式碼155。處理器160執行程式碼155以控制行動裝置100的運作。記憶體150另包含給處理器160執行的程式碼155以於行動裝置100中提供本發明所揭露之全球管理定位系統。當顯示幕110為一觸控式或多點觸控式螢幕時,全球定位管理系統可透過觸控的方式以接收使用者的輸入,因此個人導航裝置100不一定需要控制台(或控制按鈕)120。Please refer to FIG. 3, which is an illustration of one embodiment of a mobile device 100 suitable for use in network systems 10, 12. The mobile device 100 includes an outer frame 105, a display screen 110 disposed on the outer frame 105, a console or control button 120 for the user to control the mobile device 100, and a global similar to the global positioning system receiver 22, 32.

請參考第4圖。第4圖係為說明一種應用於行動裝置20、30之全球定位管理系統300之螢幕顯示方式之實施例。在行動裝置20、30之顯示幕110上所呈現的包含一名稱310,以及伺服器、其目前所儲存的位置與上次更新的時間之清單(目的地清單)320~350。其中目的地清單320~350,用來記載伺服器之網路位址與伺服器所儲存的位置資訊。舉例而言,在清單項目320中,伺服器1目前儲存使用者(更明確地說,為執行全球定位管理系統300之行動裝置20、30中之全球定位系統接收器22、32)上次透過網路介面發送基於全球定位系統接收器22、32所產生之地理資訊之一第一指令(該第一指令用來修改伺服器上所儲存的使用者的位置資訊),以更新伺服器所儲存的目前位置為「a」(也就是說,對應於伺服器1之網站或即時通訊程式所顯示的位置為「a」)。由於行動裝置20、30不一定同時與所有在清單320~350中之伺服器保持連線(舉例而言,使用者沒有同時登入所有的即時通訊程式,或是使用者沒有同時登入所有的網站),且行動裝置20、30可能僅對有連線之伺服器才傳送第一指令以更新伺服器所儲存的位置,因此不同的伺服器可能會顯示不同的位置。Please refer to Figure 4. FIG. 4 is an embodiment illustrating a screen display mode of the global positioning management system 300 applied to the mobile devices 20, 30. Presented on the display screen 110 of the mobile device 20, 30 is a list of names 310, and a list (destination list) 320-350 of the server, its currently stored location, and the last updated time. The destination list 320~350 is used to record the network address of the server and the location information stored by the server. For example, in the manifest item 320, the server 1 currently stores the user (more specifically, the global positioning system receivers 22, 32 in the mobile devices 20, 30 that perform the global positioning management system 300). The network interface sends a first instruction based on the geographic information generated by the global positioning system receivers 22, 32 (the first instruction is used to modify the location information of the user stored on the server) to update the server to store The current location is "a" (that is, the location corresponding to the server 1 or the instant messaging program is "a"). Since the mobile devices 20, 30 are not necessarily connected to all the servers in the lists 320-350 at the same time (for example, the user does not log in to all the instant messaging programs at the same time, or the user does not log in to all the websites at the same time) And the mobile device 20, 30 may only transmit the first command to the server with the connection to update the location stored by the server, so different servers may display different locations.
在第4圖之右半部用來輔助說明在本發明中,全球定位管理系統300用來判斷伺服器上所儲存之位置為正確(意即伺服器所儲存之位置為即時位置)或是不正確(意即伺服器所儲存之位置已經過時)之方法。該方法係以行動裝置20、30之位置與伺服器所儲存之位置之間之距離是否大於一預定距離(預定半徑、更新距離)作為判斷依據。如第4圖右半部所示,假設個人導航裝置20、30目前正處於「舊位置」,且實線圓圈表示以「舊位置」為中心,以預定距離為半徑之圓圈。此時,由於位置「a」(顯示於伺服器1之位置)、「b」(顯示於伺服器2之位置),以及「n」(顯示於伺服器n之位置)在實線圓圈之中,因此伺服器1、2、n所顯示之位置與行動裝置20、30目前的位置之間之距離皆小於預定距離,因此全球定位管理系統300判斷伺服器1、2、n所儲存之位置皆為正確。此時,全球定位管理系統300不需要更新在伺服器1、2、n上所儲存之位置。In the right half of FIG. 4, it is used to assist in the description. In the present invention, the global positioning management system 300 is used to determine that the location stored on the server is correct (ie, the location stored by the server is the immediate location) or not. Correct (meaning that the location where the server is stored is out of date). The method determines whether the distance between the position of the mobile device 20, 30 and the location stored by the server is greater than a predetermined distance (predetermined radius, update distance). As shown in the right half of Fig. 4, it is assumed that the personal navigation device 20, 30 is currently in the "old position", and the solid circle indicates a circle having a radius of a predetermined distance centered on the "old position". At this time, the position "a" (displayed at the position of the server 1), "b" (displayed at the position of the server 2), and "n" (displayed at the position of the server n) are in the solid circle. Therefore, the distance between the location displayed by the servers 1, 2, and n and the current location of the mobile devices 20, 30 is less than the predetermined distance, so the global positioning management system 300 determines that the locations stored by the servers 1, 2, and n are all located. To be correct. At this time, the global positioning management system 300 does not need to update the locations stored on the servers 1, 2, n.
然而,設使用者繼續移動而使得行動裝置20、30移動至「新位置」,且虛線圓圈表示以「新位置」為中心,以預定距離為半徑之圓圈。如第3圖右半部所示,此時位置「a」與「n」仍維持在虛線圓圈中,因此表示伺服器1、n所儲存之位置為正確。然而,伺服器2所儲存之位置「b」在虛線圓圈之外,因此全球定位管理系統300判斷伺服器2所儲存之位置為不正確且需更新伺服器2所儲存之位置。However, it is assumed that the user continues to move so that the mobile devices 20, 30 move to the "new position", and the dotted circle represents a circle centered on the "new position" with a predetermined distance as a radius. As shown in the right half of Fig. 3, the positions "a" and "n" are still maintained in the dotted circle at this time, so that the positions stored in the servos 1, n are correct. However, the location "b" stored by the server 2 is outside the dotted circle, so the global positioning management system 300 determines that the location stored by the server 2 is incorrect and needs to update the location stored by the server 2.
若全球定位管理系統300可連接至目的地清單中之伺服器,則更新伺服器上所儲存之位置為目前的位置,然而無論是否可連接至目的地清單中之伺服器,全球定位管理系統300皆會週期性地比較目前行動裝置20、30之全球定位系統接收器22、32所產生之地理資訊與上次藉由第一指令傳送至清單中各伺服器之位置資訊。雖然全球定位管理系統300也可藉由連接至伺服器,以讀取伺服器所儲存之位置,然而直接將上次傳送至伺服器之位置儲存於全球定位管理系統300之目的地清單仍為較佳之方式。每當行動裝置20、30之全球定位系統接收器22、32所產生之地理資訊與上次藉由第一指令傳送至清單中各伺服器之位置資訊之間之差異大於預定距離時,全球定位管理系統300判斷儲存於伺服器上之位置為不正確且需要更新。更新的方式可為上傳目前的位置,或是僅通知伺服器其所儲存之位置為不正確(舉例而言,傳送「位置未知」之資訊至伺服器)。If the global positioning management system 300 can be connected to the server in the destination list, the location stored on the update server is the current location, but regardless of whether it can be connected to the server in the destination list, the global positioning management system 300 The geographic information generated by the global positioning system receivers 22, 32 of the current mobile devices 20, 30 is periodically compared with the location information transmitted to the servers in the list by the first command. Although the global positioning management system 300 can also read the location stored by the server by connecting to the server, the destination list stored directly in the global positioning management system 300 is still directly compared to the location that was last transmitted to the server. The best way. Global positioning whenever the difference between the geographic information generated by the global positioning system receivers 22, 32 of the mobile devices 20, 30 and the location information transmitted to the servers in the list by the first command is greater than a predetermined distance The management system 300 determines that the location stored on the server is incorrect and needs to be updated. The update can be done by uploading the current location, or simply notifying the server that the location it is storing is incorrect (for example, transmitting "information unknown" to the server).
此外,使用者可能不想要全球定位管理系統300隨時更新伺服器上所儲存之位置(舉例而言,使用者不想隨時在MSN上顯示目前的位置),然而,通常使用者仍希望在目的地清單中之伺服器不會顯示不正確的位置。因此,根據本發明之精神所衍生之實施例也可選擇不判斷行動裝置20、30之目前位置與上次於伺服器上更新之位置之間之距離,而是選擇週期性地更新目的地清單中一或多個伺服器,以反映出使用者目前的位置。在其他衍生之實施例中,全球定位管理系統300不一定要週期性地更新伺服器的位置資訊,而是於判斷伺服器的位置資訊不正確時,即更新伺服器所儲存的位置。此外,全球定位管理系統300也可週期性地直接更新目的地清單中伺服器的位置資訊,並且於判斷伺服器的位置資訊不正確時,也更新伺服器的位置資訊。因此,當全球定位管理系統300判斷伺服器所儲存之位置為不正確時,本發明提供一實施例如第4圖左下半部所示,行動裝置20、30可提供訊息給使用者。該訊息包含一名稱360、一特定訊息(如伺服器2之位置不正確),以及一可選擇動作清單。舉例而言,在可選擇動作清單中,具有「更新」、「通知位置錯誤」、「更新全部」,以及「取消」等選項,其中「更新全部」係表示將目的地清單中所有被全球定位管理系統300判斷為儲存不正確的位置之伺服器所儲存之位置,皆更新為目前的位置,「取消」表示不更新伺服器所儲存之位置。如此,全球定位管理系統300可依據使用者所選擇的選項,以執行對應的動作。In addition, the user may not want the global positioning management system 300 to update the location stored on the server at any time (for example, the user does not want to display the current location on the MSN at any time), however, usually the user still wants to be in the destination list. The server in the middle will not display the incorrect location. Thus, embodiments derived from the spirit of the present invention may also choose not to determine the distance between the current location of the mobile device 20, 30 and the location that was last updated on the server, but rather to periodically update the destination list. One or more servers in the middle to reflect the user's current location. In other derivative embodiments, the global positioning management system 300 does not have to periodically update the location information of the server, but updates the location stored by the server when it is determined that the location information of the server is incorrect. In addition, the global positioning management system 300 can also directly update the location information of the server in the destination list periodically, and also update the location information of the server when it is determined that the location information of the server is incorrect. Therefore, when the global positioning management system 300 determines that the location stored by the server is incorrect, the present invention provides an embodiment such as shown in the lower left half of FIG. 4, and the mobile devices 20, 30 can provide a message to the user. The message contains a name 360, a specific message (such as the location of server 2 is incorrect), and a list of selectable actions. For example, in the selectable action list, there are options such as "update", "notification location error", "update all", and "cancel", wherein "update all" means that all the destination list is globally located. The management system 300 determines that the location stored by the server storing the incorrect location is updated to the current location, and "cancel" indicates that the location stored by the server is not updated. As such, the global positioning management system 300 can perform the corresponding actions according to the options selected by the user.
在目的地清單中,全球定位管理系統300建立與維護目的地清單320~350中之伺服器之相關資訊,其中維護類似該網站相關資訊之資料庫以及方法係為業界所習知,為了增進了解,本發明於第5圖中提供一實施例400以作更詳細地說明,然而第4圖中之實施例400僅為舉例說明,本發明之維護清單之方式並不限制為實施例400。In the destination list, the global positioning management system 300 establishes information related to the servers in the maintenance destination list 320-350, wherein the database and method for maintaining information related to the website are known to the industry, in order to enhance understanding. An embodiment 400 is provided in FIG. 5 for a more detailed description. However, the embodiment 400 of FIG. 4 is merely illustrative, and the manner of maintaining the list of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment 400.
