As shown in FIG. 2, the activation module 14 includes a dynamic sensing module 141 (also a vibration sensing module) for sensing whether the mobile vehicle A is moved, shaken, or vibrated. In order to enable the activation module 14 to be triggered, an electronic signal is generated. On the other hand, the startup module 14 is not limited to the dynamic sensing module 141, and the startup module 14 further includes a sensing module 142. The sensing module 142 has a voltage sensing circuit for sensing a voltage change of the power storage module 30 or the power module 11 to generate the startup signal. More specifically, in the application, the aforementioned inductance measuring module 142 is used to sense the voltage change generated by the battery when the mobile vehicle A is started to generate the aforementioned starting signal. Therefore, whether the user activates the mobile vehicle A or the mobile vehicle A is forcibly moved and moved, the startup module 14 of the creation is triggered, so that the device of the present invention opens the positioning function and transmits the coordinates to the external transmission. The data is thought to be used for positioning. In this way, the device of the creation will be applied to theft prevention.

An electronic device of a central processing unit (CPU) is a component such as a circuit board sintered or provided with a logic circuit and a corresponding component combination thereof.

Meanwhile, in addition to the normal mode and the power saving mode mentioned in the foregoing prior art, the present creation further provides a stop mode.

The normal mode means that each module in the device operates normally. At this time, the control module 15 obtains the coordinate data from the positioning module 12 in a predetermined mode and uses the communication module 13 to The B signal source transmits the coordinate data to the B signal source, and the B signal source can transmit the data to a remote computer or server for positioning. Briefly, the aforementioned predetermined mode means that the coordinate signal is transmitted to the base station of the B signal source at a predetermined frequency (for example, every thirty seconds). The stop mode refers to the positioning module 12 in the device, and the communication module 13 is turned off to save power. It should be noted that the term "close" is understood to completely sever the supply of electrical energy and render it inoperable.

When the application module receives the start signal, the control module 15 switches the low energy consuming device 10 from the stop mode to the normal mode. For example, the control module 15 is coupled to include a starting module 14 . More specifically, the starting module 14 is a dynamic sensing module 141. The sensing module 141 is configured to sense a mechanical actuation to generate the activation signal. In this example, the dynamic sensing module 141 includes a light sensing element disposed at each wheel of the mobile carrier A. When the wheel rotates, the light sensing element senses a machine. Actuate to generate the start signal. However, the aforementioned light sensing element is not limited to be disposed at the wheel, and the mechanical actuation of the moving, swaying or vibration of the moving carrier A is directly or indirectly sensed by other various manners. The conditions are generated. On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned optical sensing element, and it is also an electron accelerometer (also called an acceleration sensor) for An acceleration is sensed to produce the activation signal. At the same time, the starting module 14 is a sensing module 142. The sensing module 142 includes a voltage sensing circuit for sensing a voltage change to generate the starting signal. However, the present invention is not limited to having the dynamic sensing module 141 and the inductance measuring module 142 at the same time. In application, the user may select one of the two according to his needs.

On the other hand, under specified conditions, the control module 15 will switch the low energy consuming positioning device 10 from the normal mode to the stop mode. The foregoing specified condition is when the mobile carrier A is not in the ACC state and is stationary for more than a specified length of time (eg, five minutes). It should be noted that the aforementioned ACC term means that the key has been inserted into the gear before the car has been started, and some electronic devices in the mobile vehicle A, such as a radio, a cigarette lighter or a brake light, have been powered. The state of the time. In addition, the specified length of time can be set to a reasonable number of minutes and seconds according to the actual use situation, and the present invention is not limited herein.

Therefore, the above is the basic design of the low energy consuming positioning device 10 of the present invention. In the application, in addition to the foregoing components, the device of the present invention further includes a power sensing module 16 coupled to the power module 11 and the control module 15 . It is used to sense the power of one of the power modules 11 . When the power sensing module 16 senses that the power module 11 is lower than the power threshold, the control module 15 electrically couples the power module 11 to the power storage module 30. And the power module 11 obtains the power from the power storage module 30, and when the power sensing module 16 senses that the power of the power module 11 is higher than an upper power threshold, the control The module 15 disconnects the power module 11 from the power storage module 30.

The above-mentioned lower power threshold and upper power threshold can be freely set according to the user's needs. This creation will not limit it. The threshold and the upper power threshold are respectively set to 70% and 90% of the maximum use voltage of the power module 11. Therefore, the power module 11 can only obtain power from the power storage module 30 when the power is insufficient to maintain the basic operation of the low-energy positioning device 10 in the stop mode, thereby reducing the power consumption of the power storage module 30. .

Again, with the design of this creation, the power consumption of the device will reduce its power consumption during standby from 60 mA (normal mode) and 30 mA (power saving mode) to 2 mA (stop mode). According to the experimental data, when the situation is the best, the standby time will be about fifteen times longer than the previous technology and the standby time will last for several months, and the battery life of the mobile vehicle A will be more lasting.

In summary, the creation breaks through the traditional thinking mode to omit unnecessary power consumption to increase the standby time of its low-energy positioning device, and solves the problem that the conventional positioning device has been in existence for a long time and cannot be overcome. A rare creation. In addition, the concept of triggering other functional modules (such as the communication module and the positioning module in this embodiment) to start operation by the activation module is not limited to the low energy consumption positioning device. More specifically, the start-up module can be coupled and used with other systems than the device. For example, the function module can be an alarm or an off-power circuit to dump the oil-breaker, but The creation is not limited to this, and the user has to further extend the application to the startup module according to his needs.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that the term electrical connection or coupling in this specification refers to the fact that there is energy, data or signal transmission between the two, which is not limited by the actual connection.
