说 明 书 控制射频通信距离的方法及系统 技术领域  Method and system for controlling radio frequency communication distance
本发明涉及通信领域, 尤其涉及控制射频通信距离的方法及系统。 背景技术  The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and system for controlling radio frequency communication distance. Background technique
射频通信终端尤其是手机已经普及,通过改造使射频通信终端具备近距 离通信功能, 以利用手机等射频通信终端实现电子支付等功能的需求越来越 强烈, 目前已经出现了在手机中的用户识别模块 SIM ( Subscr iber Ident i ty Module )卡上增加射频功能(称为射频 SIM )或者在手机主板上增加近距离 通信模块来实现手机近距离通信的方法,这种方法的出现使得手机成为一个 可以充值、 消费、 交易及身份认证的超级智能终端, 极大地满足市场的迫切 需求。  Radio frequency communication terminals, especially mobile phones, have become popular, and the radio communication terminals have the function of short-distance communication through transformation. The demand for functions such as electronic payment by using radio frequency communication terminals such as mobile phones is becoming more and more intense. Currently, user identification in mobile phones has appeared. The module (SIM) (Subscr iber Ident I ty Module) adds RF function (called RF SIM) or adds a short-range communication module on the mobile phone motherboard to realize the method of short-distance communication of the mobile phone. This method makes the mobile phone become a Super smart terminals for recharging, consuming, trading and identity authentication greatly meet the urgent needs of the market.
其中, 基于射频 SIM的手机近距离解决方案以其简单、 无需更改手机等 优势得到广泛的关注, 在该方案中, 射频 SIM 采用 UHF ( Ul tra High Frequency, 超高频)技术使得射频信号可以从手机中透射出来, 从而实现 不改手机就可使得手机具备近距离通信功能。 但是, 不同手机由于内部结构 不同造成射频信号透射效果存在很大的差异,透射强的手机其通信距离可能 达到几米远的距离,透射弱的手机也可以达到几十厘米。在移动支付应用中, 如公交地铁刷卡, 通常都会对于交易距离有严格的要求, 以防止用户在不知 情的情况下误刷, 造成损失。 因此, 基于射频 SIM的手机在增加近距离通信 功能的同时, 还必须能够有效控制其交易的有效距离范围。  Among them, the RF SIM-based mobile phone proximity solution has received wide attention because of its simplicity and no need to change the mobile phone. In this solution, the RF SIM adopts UHF (Ultra tra High Frequency) technology to make the RF signal available. The mobile phone is transmitted out, so that the mobile phone can be equipped with a short-distance communication function without changing the mobile phone. However, different mobile phones have great differences in the transmission effect of radio frequency signals due to different internal structures. The communication distance of a mobile phone with strong transmission may reach a distance of several meters, and the mobile phone with weak transmission can reach several tens of centimeters. In mobile payment applications, such as bus and subway card swiping, there are usually strict requirements on the transaction distance to prevent users from accidentally brushing and causing losses. Therefore, mobile phone SIM-based mobile phones must be able to effectively control the effective range of their transactions while increasing the short-range communication function.
现有射频通信技术中, 能够实现交易距离控制的有基于 IS014443标准 的非接触卡技术,该技术通过从读卡器上感应出能量来供非接触卡内部电路 工作, 实现与读卡器之间的通信; 该技术实现距离控制的基本原理在于射频 能量只能在近距离传输, 而这种技术难以应用在 SIM卡上: SIM卡面积很小, 且嵌入在手机内部,读卡器辐射的射频能量无法穿越手机与射频 SIM实现通 信。 Among the existing radio frequency communication technologies, there is a contactless card technology based on the IS014443 standard capable of realizing transaction distance control, which is used for the non-contact card internal circuit by sensing energy from the card reader. Work, to achieve communication with the card reader; the basic principle of the technology to achieve distance control is that the RF energy can only be transmitted at close range, and this technology is difficult to apply to the SIM card: The SIM card area is small and embedded in Inside the mobile phone, the RF energy radiated by the card reader cannot communicate with the RF SIM through the mobile phone.
现有技术中另一种控制移动终端射频通信距离的方法首先通过试验方 法在射频控制终端上为每一类型的射频移动终端建立对应近场图谱; 利用探 测器阵列将检测到的当前射频移动终端的场强与其近场图谱之间通过匹配 算法得到的用于比较的匹配度; 将得到的匹配度与射频控制终端中预先设置 好的对应该类型射频移动终端的门限值比较,从而判断当前射频移动终端与 射频控制终端的距离是否在规定的范围内。 该方法较为复杂; 用探测器阵列 来检测射频移动终端近场图谱时各个探测器之间难以做到相互之间较好的 隔离, 从而难以做到图谱的辨识。 发明内容  Another method for controlling the radio frequency communication distance of a mobile terminal in the prior art first establishes a corresponding near-field map for each type of radio frequency mobile terminal on the radio frequency control terminal by using a test method; and the current radio frequency mobile terminal detected by the detector array The matching degree between the field strength and the near-field spectrum obtained by the matching algorithm is compared; the obtained matching degree is compared with the preset threshold value of the corresponding type of radio frequency mobile terminal in the radio frequency control terminal, thereby judging the current Whether the distance between the RF mobile terminal and the RF control terminal is within the specified range. The method is more complicated; when the detector array is used to detect the near-field spectrum of the RF mobile terminal, it is difficult to achieve good isolation between the detectors, so that it is difficult to identify the spectrum.

以下结合附图对本发明的原理和特征进行描述, 所举实例只用于解释本 发明, 并非用于限定本发明的范围。  The principles and features of the present invention are described in the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
本发明利用射频信号反射叠加的原理来解决射频通信过程中的距离控 制问题。 射频信号反射叠加的原理如下: 射频信号源电磁场中不存在干扰物 的时候, 射频电磁场场强随着距离增大呈稳定衰减趋势; 而当其中存在干扰 物时, 干扰物会对射频信号进行反射, 射频电磁场场强由于受到信号反射等 因素影响呈现随距离增大波动衰减的特征,此波动周期和射频信号的波长呈 现固定关系,表现为射频信号源与干扰物在射频信号 0度或 180度对应的距 离如半波长及其倍数距离范围附近场强稳定增强, 在射频信号 90度或 270 度对应的距离范围如四分之一波长范围附近时场强稳定降低。  The invention utilizes the principle of radio frequency signal reflection superposition to solve the distance control problem in the radio frequency communication process. The principle of RF signal reflection superposition is as follows: When there is no interference in the electromagnetic field of the RF signal source, the field strength of the RF electromagnetic field will attenuate stably with increasing distance; and when there is interference, the interference will reflect the RF signal. The field strength of the RF electromagnetic field is characterized by the influence of signal reflection and other factors. The fluctuation period and the wavelength of the RF signal have a fixed relationship, which is represented by the RF signal source and the interferer at 0 or 180 degrees of the RF signal. The corresponding distance, such as the half-wavelength and its multiple distance range, is stable and the field strength is stable. When the distance of the RF signal is 90 degrees or 270 degrees, such as the quarter-wavelength range, the field strength is stably reduced.
根据这个原理, 本发明设计一个可以探测信号衰减变化的系统, 当手机 等射频通信终端与该系统进行通信时, 手机等射频通信终端成为一个电磁场 干扰物,通过判断当前射频信号的场强较无干扰的情况下是增强还是减弱可 以初步确定手机距离射频通信设备(即射频信号源)的可能距离区间, 再辅 助以场强衰减或者场强变化量衰减判断具体的距离区间,从而判断和控制手 机等射频通信终端与射频通信设备之间的通信距离。  According to this principle, the present invention designs a system capable of detecting signal attenuation changes. When a radio communication terminal such as a mobile phone communicates with the system, the radio frequency communication terminal such as a mobile phone becomes an electromagnetic field interference object, and the field strength of the current radio frequency signal is determined to be less than Whether the interference is enhanced or weakened can initially determine the possible distance range of the mobile phone from the RF communication device (ie, the RF signal source), and then assist in determining the specific distance interval by field strength attenuation or field strength variation attenuation, thereby judging and controlling the mobile phone. The communication distance between the RF communication terminal and the RF communication device.

基于上述的控制射频通信距离的系统,本发明同时提出了一种控制射频 通信巨离的方法。  Based on the above system for controlling the radio frequency communication distance, the present invention also proposes a method for controlling the radio communication distance.
本发明控制射频通信距离的方法应用于包括具有天线阵列的射频通信 设备的射频通信系统, 其中天线阵列中包含通信天线和回波检测天线, 通信 天线按设定功率发射射频信号, 回波检测天线接收回波射频信号, 射频通信 设备检测回波场强变化值, 同时射频通信终端中的射频通信模块接收射频信 号并检测射频信号场强值, 该控制射频通信距离的方法包括以下步骤:  The method for controlling radio frequency communication distance of the present invention is applied to a radio frequency communication system including a radio frequency communication device having an antenna array, wherein the antenna array includes a communication antenna and an echo detection antenna, and the communication antenna transmits a radio frequency signal according to a set power, and the echo detection antenna Receiving the echo RF signal, the RF communication device detects the echo field strength change value, and the RF communication module in the RF communication terminal receives the RF signal and detects the RF signal field strength value. The method for controlling the RF communication distance includes the following steps:
步骤一,预先在射频通信设备中保存通信距离与射频特征参数之间的对 应关系, 并设定回波场强变化触发门限值, 其中, 射频特征参数包括回波场 强变化值和射频信号场强值;  Step 1: pre-correlate the correspondence between the communication distance and the radio frequency characteristic parameter in the radio frequency communication device, and set the echo field strength change trigger threshold value, wherein the radio frequency characteristic parameter includes the echo field strength change value and the radio frequency signal Field strength value;
本步骤中,通信距离与射频特征参数之间的对应关系可以通过校准过程 得到, 校准过程为: 校准器检测多个预定距离下射频通信终端接收到的射频 信号场强值 PWj以及回波场强变化值 A PWj ,按周期震荡衰减规律拟合 - Δ PW曲线以及冊 - PW曲线, 即通信距离与回波场强变化值的关系曲线和通信 距离与射频信号场强值的关系曲线,该两条关系曲线即为通信距离与射频特 征参数之间的对应关系。  In this step, the correspondence between the communication distance and the radio frequency characteristic parameter can be obtained through a calibration process. The calibration process is: The calibrator detects the RF signal field strength value PWj and the echo field strength received by the RF communication terminal at a predetermined distance. The variation value A PWj is fitted by the periodic oscillation attenuation law - Δ PW curve and the book - PW curve, that is, the relationship between the communication distance and the variation of the echo field strength and the relationship between the communication distance and the field strength of the RF signal. The relationship curve is the correspondence between the communication distance and the radio frequency characteristic parameters.
其中, 射频通信设备可以为 P0S机, 射频通信终端可以为具有射频通信 模块的手机,射频通信模块可以为射频 S IM卡或具有射频通信功能的存储卡。 比如, 手机与 POS机进行正常通信之前, 先需要在校准器上测量并记录 不同距离条件下读卡器天线阵列中回波探测天线接收到的回波场强以及手 机射频 SIM卡接收到的射频信号场强等射频特征参数; 校准器确定射频特征 参数与距离之间的固定对应关系 (例如回波场强变化值与距离的关系曲线, 以及射频通信终端接收到的射频信号场强值与距离的关系曲线)并把该射频 特征参数以及所述固定对应关系记录在手机或射频 S IM卡内。 The radio frequency communication device may be a P0S machine, the radio frequency communication terminal may be a mobile phone with a radio frequency communication module, and the radio frequency communication module may be a radio frequency SIM card or a memory card with radio frequency communication function. For example, before the mobile phone communicates with the POS machine, it is necessary to measure and record the echo field strength received by the echo detection antenna in the antenna array of the reader under different distance conditions and the RF received by the mobile phone radio SIM card on different calibrators. Radio frequency characteristic parameters such as signal field strength; the calibrator determines a fixed correspondence relationship between the radio frequency characteristic parameter and the distance (for example, the relationship between the change value of the echo field strength and the distance, and the field strength value and distance of the radio frequency signal received by the radio communication terminal) And the radio frequency characteristic parameter and the fixed correspondence are recorded in the mobile phone or the radio frequency SIM card.
预先可以通过经验或测量设定 P0S机内读卡器的回波场强变化触发门限 值, 并记录在 P0S机等射频通信设备的读卡器内。 通过判断当前的回波场强 变化值是否达到预设场强变化触发门限值可以判断其相互距离是否达到最 远探测距离, 如果达到则说明其通信距离达到最远探测距离, P0S机等射频 通信设备就会启动通信距离判断过程, 否则保持不断探测。  In advance, the threshold value of the echo field strength change of the P0S internal card reader can be set by experience or measurement, and recorded in the card reader of the RF communication device such as the P0S machine. By judging whether the current echo field strength change value reaches the preset field strength change trigger threshold value, it can be determined whether the mutual distance reaches the farthest detection distance, and if it is reached, the communication distance reaches the farthest detection distance, the P0S machine and the like The communication device initiates the communication distance determination process, otherwise it keeps detecting.
为保持 P0S机等射频通信设备的读卡器与校准器的读卡器的一致性,可 以在每一个读卡器初始化时增加一个初始化设定过程,校准过程中触发门限 △ Pg以及初始回波场强 P。, 还有校准过程中的校准器预设距离均可以在该过 程中实现。 该过程可以包括: In order to maintain the consistency of the reader of the RF communication device such as the P0S machine and the reader of the calibrator, an initialization setting process can be added at the initialization of each card reader, and the threshold Δ P g and the initial return are triggered during the calibration process. Wave field strength P. , and the calibrator preset distance during calibration can be achieved in the process. The process can include:
1 )确定初始回波场强 P。: 对每一个读卡器, 在其空间电磁场没有任何 干扰物的情况下, 天线阵列中的通信天线按设定要求发射射频信号, 回波检 测天线检测到的回波场强设定为初始回波场强 P。, 并记录在 P0S机等射频通 信设备中;  1) Determine the initial echo field strength P. : For each card reader, in the case that the space electromagnetic field does not have any interference, the communication antenna in the antenna array transmits the RF signal according to the set requirements, and the echo field strength detected by the echo detection antenna is set to the initial return. Wave field strength P. And recorded in a radio frequency communication device such as a P0S machine;
2 )确定触发门限 A Pg: 根据预先设定的最远探测距离, 在距离 P0S机等 射频通信设备该距离位置上用指定的手机作为干扰物, 测量其当前时刻回波 场强变化值 A Pg , 并记录在 POS机等射频通信设备中。 2) Determine the trigger threshold AP g: According to the preset farthest detection distance, use the specified mobile phone as the interference object at the distance position of the radio frequency communication device such as the P0S machine, and measure the current field echo field strength change value AP g And recorded in RF communication equipment such as POS machines.
3 )确定校准器预设距离可以采取以下两个步骤实现:  3) Determining the calibrator preset distance can be achieved in the following two steps:
A )选取若干个读卡器, 用指定手机作为干扰物, 分别测量其与所述读 卡器不同距离 Di 条件下的回波场强 Pi , 分别计算 A Pi = Pi - P0 , ( i = 1, 2, 3... n ) ; 分别形成 D - Δ Ρ曲线, Δ Ρ随距离 D变化呈周期性震荡衰减 趋势, 该周期为射频信号的波长。 不同距离 Di的间隔和数量 n可以根据经 马全来选取, 如可选取 lcm作为间隔, 数量 n可以选 20; A) Selecting a number of card readers, using the designated mobile phone as an interference object, respectively measuring the echo field strength Pi under different distances from the card reader, and calculating A Pi = Pi - P0 , ( i = 1, 2, 3... n) ; respectively form a D - Δ Ρ curve, and Δ Ρ exhibits a periodic oscillating decay trend with distance D, which is the wavelength of the RF signal. The interval and number n of different distances Di can be selected according to the horses, for example, lcm can be selected as the interval, and the number n can be selected as 20;
B )分别找出 D - Δ Ρ 曲线中波峰对应的距离 +Dj 以及波谷对应的距离 -Dj , ( j = l, 2, 3... m ) , 计算其平均值, 作为为校准器设定距离的依据。 在实际系统中,校准器可以选取部分距离来采集手机接收射频信号及读卡器 的回波检测参数。 其中, m值可以根据经验或实际测量确定, 一般为 3或者 4。 射频 SIM卡接收场强误差范围 ΡΔ可以通过以下步骤获得: B) Find the distance +Dj corresponding to the peak in the D - Δ Ρ curve and the distance -Dj , ( j = l, 2, 3... m ) corresponding to the valley, and calculate the average value as the calibrator The basis of the distance. In the actual system, the calibrator can select a partial distance to collect the RF signal received by the mobile phone and the echo detection parameters of the card reader. Where m value can be determined based on empirical or actual measurements, typically 3 or 4. The RF field card receiving field strength error range Ρ Δ can be obtained by the following steps:
1 )预先设定刷卡距离控制目标精度范围, 依据该精度范围根据射频信 号衰减规律计算获得 ΡΔ。。 1) Pre-set the range of the target range of the swipe distance control, and calculate Ρ Δ according to the attenuation range of the radio frequency signal according to the accuracy range. .
2 )在实际校准过程中通过实际测量目标手机在不同距离情况下的实际 衰减做修正, 得到最终的 ΡΔ2) In the actual calibration process, the actual attenuation of the target mobile phone at different distances is actually corrected to obtain the final Ρ Δ .
步骤二, 在射频通信设备与射频通信终端的通信过程中, 射频通信设备 不断检测当前的回波场强变化值, 并判断该回波场强变化值的绝对值是否达 到本身保存的回波场强变化触发门限值, 若是则执行步骤三, 否则重复步骤 通信过程中,读卡器天线阵列各个通信天线按照预定的要求发射射频信 号, 接收来自手机射频 S ΙΜ卡的通信射频信号, 回波探测天线同时检测回波 场强变化值; 手机射频 SIM卡也同时按照预定要求接收和测量来自读卡器的 射频信号。  Step 2: During the communication process between the RF communication device and the RF communication terminal, the RF communication device continuously detects the current echo field strength change value, and determines whether the absolute value of the echo field strength change value reaches the echo field saved by itself. The strong change trigger threshold value, if yes, step 3 is performed. Otherwise, during the communication process, the communication antennas of the reader antenna array transmit radio frequency signals according to predetermined requirements, and receive communication RF signals from the mobile phone RF S-core, echo. The detecting antenna simultaneously detects the change value of the echo field strength; the mobile phone radio frequency SIM card also receives and measures the radio frequency signal from the card reader according to the predetermined requirement.
由于射频通信系统具备接收和发射的一致性, 因此控制射频通信距离的 系统的射频 SIM 卡检测射频信号场强过程也可以通过反方向检测过程来代 替, 即由射频 SIM卡按照设定功率发射射频信号, 天线阵列中的通信天线接 收并检测射频信号场强来实现,这种情况下射频 S IM卡可以不具备射频信号 场强检测功能: 比如, 天线阵列与手机进行通信时, 手机的射频 S IM卡按照 要求的功率发射射频信号, 天线阵列中的通信天线轮流或分组轮流接收射频 信号并检测其场强值, 形成通信天线接收场强; 通信天线接收场强和回波场 强变化值构成射频特征参数,此射频特征参数也和手机及天线阵列的通信距 离呈现固定对应关系, 利用当前实际测量的射频特征参数通过查找该对应关 系可以实现通信距离的判断和控制。 Since the radio frequency communication system has the consistency of receiving and transmitting, the process of detecting the radio frequency signal field strength of the radio frequency SIM card of the system for controlling the radio frequency communication distance can also be replaced by the reverse direction detecting process, that is, the radio frequency SIM card transmits the radio frequency according to the set power. Signal, communication antenna connection in the antenna array The RF field IM card can be used to detect the field strength of the RF signal. In this case, the RF SIM card does not have the RF signal field strength detection function: For example, when the antenna array communicates with the mobile phone, the RF SIM card of the mobile phone transmits the RF according to the required power. Signal, the communication antenna in the antenna array receives the radio frequency signal in turn or in turn, and detects the field strength value to form the receiving field strength of the communication antenna; the receiving antenna strength and the echo field strength variation value of the communication antenna constitute a radio frequency characteristic parameter, and the radio frequency characteristic parameter It also has a fixed correspondence relationship with the communication distance between the mobile phone and the antenna array, and the communication distance can be judged and controlled by searching the corresponding relationship by using the currently measured radio frequency characteristic parameters.
步骤三, 射频通信设备获取当前的射频特征参数, 根据本身保存的通信 距离与射频特征参数之间的对应关系确定当前的通信距离, 然后判断当前的 通信距离是否在预设的刷卡范围内, 即是否小于预设的目标控制距离, 若是 则允许刷卡交易, 否则不允许刷卡交易。  Step 3: The radio frequency communication device acquires the current radio frequency characteristic parameter, determines the current communication distance according to the correspondence between the communication distance and the radio frequency characteristic parameter saved by itself, and then determines whether the current communication distance is within the preset swipe range, that is, Whether it is less than the preset target control distance, if yes, the card transaction is allowed, otherwise the card transaction is not allowed.
步骤三中, 根据对应关系确定当前的通信距离可以具体为: 射频通信设 备根据回波场强变化值 在 DW - A PW曲线上找到下一个对应的冊 j值, 再通过冊 j值在冊 - PW曲线上找到对应的射频信号场强值 PWj , 若射频通信 模块当前实际检测到的场强值 PWc在 PWj ± PA范围内, 则通信距离为冊 j , ΡΔ为预设的射频通信模块的最大接收场强误差值。 比如。 P0S机通过与手机 通信获得存储在其内部的冊-△ PW曲线及冊- PW曲线,根据回波场强变化 值(Ρ - Ρ。)值在爾- A PW曲线上找到下一个对应的冊 j值, 根据 ( P - P„ ) 值划一条横线(对照图 5 ) , 与曲线 602可能有多个相交点, 第一次取第一 个相交点, 第二次取第二个相交点, 以此类推, 再通过冊 j值在冊 - PW曲线 上找到对应的射频 S IM卡接收场强 PWj , 如果射频 S IM卡当前实际检测场强 值 PWc在 PWj ± ΡΔ范围内,则判断干扰物为目标手机,且其距离读卡器为冊 j; 否则继续本步骤所述的寻找下一个匹配冊 j值; 如果始终没有找到能够匹配 两种条件的 j , 则判断为非目标手机干扰物, 继续检测回波场强值。 In step 3, determining the current communication distance according to the correspondence relationship may be specifically as follows: The radio frequency communication device finds the next corresponding book j value on the DW-A PW curve according to the echo field strength change value, and then passes the book j value in the book- The corresponding RF signal field strength value PWj is found on the PW curve. If the field strength value PWc currently detected by the RF communication module is in the range of PWj ± P A , the communication distance is book j, and Ρ Δ is the preset RF communication module. The maximum received field strength error value. such as. The P0S machine obtains the book-Δ PW curve and the book-PW curve stored in the internal communication by communicating with the mobile phone, and finds the next corresponding book on the er-A PW curve according to the value of the echo field strength change value (Ρ - Ρ.). j value, according to the (P - P„) value, draw a horizontal line (cf. Fig. 5), and there may be multiple intersection points with the curve 602, the first intersection point is taken for the first time, and the second intersection point is taken for the second time. , and so on, through the book j value book - PW curve to find the corresponding RF S IM card receiving field strength PWj, if the current actual detection field strength value PWc of the RF S IM card is in the range of PWj ± Ρ Δ , then judge The interference object is the target mobile phone, and the distance from the card reader is book j; otherwise, the next matching book j value described in this step is continued; if j is found that can match the two conditions, it is judged as non-target mobile phone interference. Object, continue to detect the echo field strength value.
通信距离判断还可以采取眼图法进行辅助距离判断,此方法可以辅助判 断 D- ΔΡ曲线波谷附近对应距离。 该方法利用了天线阵列中不同通信天线 之间的物理位置差异, 因此, 步骤三中, 根据对应关系确定当前的通信距离 还可以具体为: 对回波场强变化值 ΔΡ取绝对值, 并计算 Δ AP = Abs ( ΔΡ) - ΔΡ, Abs表示取绝对值,根据 Δ ΔΡ与通信距离之间的关系绘制 D-△ ΔΡ 曲线, 并设定门限值 A APg, 若当前的 Δ ΔΡ 大于门限值 Δ APg则当前的通 信距离在曲线 D- Δ ΔΡ波谷对应的距离范围附近。 The communication distance judgment can also take the eye diagram method to determine the auxiliary distance. This method can assist the judgment. Break the corresponding distance near the D- ΔΡ curve trough. The method utilizes the difference in physical position between different communication antennas in the antenna array. Therefore, in step 3, determining the current communication distance according to the corresponding relationship may also be specifically: taking the absolute value of the echo field strength change value Δ, and calculating Δ AP = Abs ( ΔΡ) - ΔΡ, Abs denotes the absolute value, draws the D-△ ΔΡ curve according to the relationship between Δ ΔΡ and the communication distance, and sets the threshold A AP g if the current Δ ΔΡ is greater than the gate The limit value Δ AP g is the current communication distance in the vicinity of the distance range corresponding to the curve D- Δ ΔΡ trough.
还可以采取更为简便的干扰抵消法来代替前述的距离判断方法,该方法 的原理如下:  It is also possible to adopt a simpler interference cancellation method instead of the aforementioned distance determination method. The principle of the method is as follows:
实际系统中射频 SIM卡接收到的信号场强值容易受到目标手机与 P0S机 之间相对角度及相对位移的影响, 随着距离的增加, 相对角度与相对位移造 成的影响越来越大, 采用前述距离判断方法中的距离判断过程可能会导致距 离控制不精确; 实际上回波场强变化值( P - P。)幅值是相对角度与相对位移 等因素影响的综合结果,可以利用这个信息来抵消射频 SIM卡接收信号场强 受到的部分干扰。 当前射频 SIM卡与回波检测天线检测的是同一个信号源, 因此二者受到相对角度与相对位移等因素的影响是同步的; 手机距离 P0S机 越近, 射频 SIM卡与回波检测天线受到的影响程度差距越小, 距离越远, 二 者受到的影响程度差距越大; 在射频 SIM卡检测到的射频信号场强值中扣除 回波检测到的干扰影响, 即回波场强变化值的绝对值, 可以在较近距离范围 内 (如半个波长)很大程度削减相对角度与相对位移的影响。  In the actual system, the signal field strength received by the RF SIM card is easily affected by the relative angle and relative displacement between the target mobile phone and the P0S machine. As the distance increases, the relative angle and relative displacement are more and more affected. The distance judgment process in the above distance judgment method may lead to inaccurate distance control; in fact, the amplitude of the echo field strength change value (P - P.) is a comprehensive result of factors such as relative angle and relative displacement, and this information can be utilized. To offset part of the interference received by the RF SIM card receiving signal field strength. The current RF SIM card and the echo detection antenna detect the same signal source, so the two are affected by factors such as relative angle and relative displacement. The closer the mobile phone is to the P0S machine, the RF SIM card and the echo detection antenna are affected. The smaller the degree of influence, the farther the distance is, the greater the difference in the degree of influence between the two; the interference value detected by the echo is subtracted from the field strength value of the RF signal detected by the RF SIM card, that is, the variation of the echo field strength The absolute value of the relative angle and relative displacement can be greatly reduced in a relatively close range (such as half a wavelength).
干扰抵消法基于以上原理可以提高距离控制的精确性, 简化距离控制判 断过程; 该方法利用回波场强变化值来抵消全部或部分射频 SIM卡信号接收 场强所受到的相对角度与相对位移等因素的干扰, 提高距离控制的精确度; 一般而言目标控制距离多为射频信号半波长范围以内。  Based on the above principle, the interference cancellation method can improve the accuracy of the distance control and simplify the distance control judgment process. The method uses the echo field strength change value to offset the relative angle and relative displacement of all or part of the RF SIM card signal receiving field strength. The interference of factors improves the accuracy of the distance control; in general, the target control distance is mostly within the half wavelength range of the RF signal.
基于干扰 4氏消法, 步骤三可以包括如下子步骤:  Based on the interference 4 method, step 3 may include the following sub-steps:
步骤 301, 计算当前回波场强变化值的绝对值, 用当前射频特征参数中 的射频信号场强值减去当前回波场强变化值的绝对值,得到抵消干扰后的射 频信号场强 PWca; Step 301: Calculate an absolute value of a current echo field strength change value, and use the current radio frequency characteristic parameter. The RF signal field strength value minus the absolute value of the current echo field strength change value, and the RF signal field strength PWca after canceling the interference is obtained;
步骤 302,根据设定的目标控制距离在 - PW曲线上计算抵消干扰后判 断门限 PWag, 具体为: 在冊 -PW曲线的距离轴上过目标控制距离作距离轴 的垂线, 该垂线与 DW - PW曲线的交点所对应的场强即为 PWag;  Step 302: Calculate the threshold PWag after canceling the interference on the - PW curve according to the set target control distance, specifically: the target control distance on the distance axis of the book-PW curve is a perpendicular to the distance axis, and the perpendicular line The field strength corresponding to the intersection of the DW-PW curve is PWag;
步骤 303, 当 PWca小于抵消干扰后的判断门限 PWag时, 进一步判断当 前回波场强变化值 Δ PW是否小于 0 ,若是则当前通信距离小于目标控制距离, 允许刷卡交易, 否则执行步骤 304;  Step 303, when PWca is less than the judgment threshold PWag after canceling the interference, further determining whether the current echo field strength change value Δ PW is less than 0, if yes, the current communication distance is less than the target control distance, allowing the card transaction, otherwise performing step 304;
步骤 304, 进行近场区域判断, 即判断当前的射频信号场强是否达到预 设的近场场强门限值, 若是则当前通信距离小于目标控制距离, 允许刷卡交 易, 否则不允许刷卡交易。  Step 304: Perform a near-field region judgment, that is, determine whether the current RF signal field strength reaches a preset near-field field strength threshold. If yes, the current communication distance is less than the target control distance, and the card transaction is allowed, otherwise the card transaction is not allowed.
下面以目标控制距离为 4cm,频率为 2.4GHz的射频信号为例来说明干扰 抵消法的距离判断判断过程。 所述方法可以采取以下步骤:  The following is an example of a radio frequency signal with a target control distance of 4 cm and a frequency of 2.4 GHz as an example to illustrate the distance judgment process of the interference cancellation method. The method can take the following steps:
( 1 )计算当前回波场强变化值的绝对值。 如表 1所示, 可以计算不同 距离上各个通信天线发射的回波检测变化值 APWj 的绝对值之和, 形成表 1 中的曲线 603;  (1) Calculate the absolute value of the current echo field strength change value. As shown in Table 1, the sum of the absolute values of the echo detection change values APWj transmitted by the respective communication antennas at different distances can be calculated to form a curve 603 in Table 1;
( 2 )用当前射频 SIM卡接收到的信号场强值减去所述当前回波场强变 化值的绝对值, 形成 PWca。 此差值与距离形成表 1中的曲线 604; (2) PWca is formed by subtracting the absolute value of the current echo field strength change value from the signal field strength value received by the current radio frequency SIM card. The difference and the distance form a curve 604 in Table 1;
表 1 Table 1

Figure imgf000018_0001
( 3 )根据设定的目标控制距离在存储在手机其内部的冊 - PW曲线计算 抵消干扰后判断门限 PWag,具体为,在距离轴上过目标控制距离作距离轴的 垂线, 该垂线 与 DW-PW曲线( 604 ) 的交点所对应的场强即为 PWag; (3) According to the set target control distance, the threshold PWag is determined after the cancellation of the interference in the book-PW curve stored in the mobile phone, specifically, the target control distance on the distance axis is the perpendicular to the distance axis, the perpendicular line The field strength corresponding to the intersection of the DW-PW curve (604) is PWag;
( 4 ) 当 PWca小于所述抵消干扰后判断门限 Pwag,  (4) When the PWca is less than the cancellation interference, the threshold Pwag is determined,
a )如果当前回波检测变化值(P- P0 )小于 0则判断通信距离在目 标范围内; 否则转至下一步(即步骤 b )进行近场区域判断;  a) If the current echo detection change value (P-P0) is less than 0, the communication distance is judged to be within the target range; otherwise, the next step (ie, step b) is performed to determine the near-field region;
b )近场区域判断可以采用传统的简单场强判断法, 即直接判断当 前判断射频 S IM卡接收信号场强是否达到近场场强门限值即可。近场场强门 限值可以通过校准过程设定。 b) The judgment of the near-field region can adopt the traditional simple field strength judgment method, that is, directly judge It is judged whether the field strength of the received signal of the radio frequency SIM card reaches the near field strength threshold. The near field field strength threshold can be set by the calibration process.
距离判断过程中,判断干扰物是否为目标手机还可以采取场强分布均衡 度方法进行辅助判断, 以防止恶意通信攻击。 该方法为: 分析当前射频 SIM 卡接收到的读卡器天线阵列中各个通信天线发射的射频信号场强分布均衡 度是否符合预期值。 由于随着距离的增加, 射频 SIM卡收到的天线阵列中各 通信天线的场强的差异会减小, 因此射频信号场强分布均衡度值会变小, 通 过判断场强分布均衡度值的大小可以实现距离大致范围判断。计算场强分布 均衡度的方法很多, 可以采用的方法有方差、 相邻天线求差、 分组天线求差 等。其中基于分组天线求差的场强分布均衡度距离判断方法可以采取以下步 骤实现:  In the process of judging distance, it is judged whether the interferer is the target mobile phone or not, and the field strength distribution equalization method can be used for auxiliary judgment to prevent malicious communication attacks. The method is: analyzing whether the field strength distribution balance of the RF signal transmitted by each communication antenna in the reader antenna array received by the current RF SIM card meets an expected value. As the distance increases, the difference in field strength of each communication antenna in the antenna array received by the radio frequency SIM card is reduced, so the field strength distribution balance value of the radio frequency signal becomes smaller, and the balance value of the field strength distribution is determined. The size can be determined by the approximate range of distance. There are many methods for calculating the distribution of field strength. The methods that can be used include variance, adjacent antenna difference, and packet antenna difference. The method for determining the field strength distribution equilibrium distance based on the difference of the packet antennas can be implemented by the following steps:
1 )根据天线阵列中各个通信天线的物理分布划分成组。 如图 7 中, 可 以将通信天线编号为 1、 2、 3的分成一组, 编号为 4、 5、 6的分成一组, 编 号为 7、 8、 9的分成一组以及编号为 10、 11、 12分成一组, 共分成四组; 1) Grouped according to the physical distribution of each communication antenna in the antenna array. As shown in Figure 7, the communication antenna numbers can be grouped into 1, 2, and 3, and the numbers 4, 5, and 6 can be grouped into one group, and the numbers 7 and 8, 9 can be divided into groups and numbered 10 and 11. 12 divided into groups, divided into four groups;
2 )射频 SIM卡将接收到的射频信号按四个组分别求和,形成 SUM1、 SUM2、 SUM 3以及 SUM4; 2) The RF SIM card sums the received RF signals into four groups to form SUM1, SUM2, SUM 3 and SUM4;
3 )场强分布均衡度为定义为 PB = ( Abs ( SUM2-SUM1 ) + Abs ( SUM3-SUM2 ) + Abs ( SUM4-SUM3 ) + Abs ( SUM1-SUM4 ) ) / ( SUM1 + SUM2 + SUM3 + SUM4 ) ; 3) The field strength distribution equilibrium is defined as PB = ( Abs ( SUM2-SUM1 ) + Abs ( SUM3-SUM2 ) + Abs ( SUM4-SUM3 ) + Abs ( SUM1-SUM4 ) ) / ( SUM1 + SUM2 + SUM3 + SUM4 ) ;
4 )根据目标控制距离范围实际测试目标手机对应的场强分布均衡度作 为门限值, 当当前场强分布均衡度值大于门限值时判断距离在目标距离范围 内, 否则距离在目标距离范围外; 4) According to the target control distance range, the field strength distribution equalization corresponding to the target mobile phone is actually used as the threshold value. When the current field strength distribution balance value is greater than the threshold value, the judgment distance is within the target distance range, otherwise the distance is within the target distance range. Outside
5 )不同手机的 PB与距离之间也呈现固定对应关系, 也可以通过校准等 方法获得 PB - D曲线; 此曲线可以替代所述通信距离判断方法中校准过程的 冊- PW曲线, 与冊-△ PW曲线配合精确确定当前通信距离;  5) The PB and the distance of different mobile phones also have a fixed correspondence relationship, and the PB-D curve can also be obtained by calibration, etc.; this curve can replace the book-PW curve of the calibration process in the communication distance judging method, and the book- △ PW curve fits to accurately determine the current communication distance;
6 ) 由于射频系统具备收发对称的特点, 因此场强分布均衡度距离判断 方法也可以采用射频 S IM卡发送天线阵列接收分组判断的方法来达到同等效 果。 6) Because the RF system has the characteristics of symmetry of transmission and reception, the field strength distribution is determined by distance The method can also use the radio frequency SIM card to transmit the antenna array to receive the packet judgment method to achieve the same effect.
由于天线阵列包括多个天线, 因此回波检测天线检测到的回波场强以及 手机射频 SIM卡检测到的信号场强均是多个值, 实际使用中可以把多个值折 合成一个值以方便处理, 简单的方法有:  Since the antenna array includes multiple antennas, the echo field strength detected by the echo detecting antenna and the signal field strength detected by the mobile phone radio frequency SIM card are multiple values, and in actual use, multiple values can be converted into one value. Easy to handle, simple methods are:
1 ) 累加和法, 此方法可以用于回波场强以及射频 S IM卡接收到的信号 场强处理。 即把各个天线对应的场强或场强变化量进行简单算术累加;  1) Accumulation sum method, this method can be used for echo field strength and signal field strength processing received by RF S IM card. That is, the field strength or field strength variation corresponding to each antenna is simply arithmetically accumulated;
2 ) 绝对值累加和, 此方法可以用于回波场强变化量处理。 即把各个天 线回波场强变化量取绝对值以后再累加;  2) Absolute value summation, this method can be used for echo field strength variation processing. That is, the variation of the echo field strength of each antenna is taken as an absolute value and then accumulated;
距离控制精确度与通信射频信号的波长相关,控制精度大致为波长的四 分之一。例如当采用 2. 4GHz频率进行通信时,其可实现控制的精度约为 3cm。  The distance control accuracy is related to the wavelength of the communication RF signal, and the control accuracy is approximately one quarter of the wavelength. For example, when communicating at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, the control accuracy is about 3 cm.
天线阵列可以采用多个通信天线和一个回波探测天线分布在一个矩形 范围内,形成一个发射和接收测量面,这样有利于减少射频信号测量的干扰, 提高射频距离控制的稳定性。 天线阵列可以采用 4个、 6个、 8个、 9个或 12个天线等间距分部在一个矩形范围内,而回波探测天线安排在矩形的中心 位置附近, 天线阵列中的通信天线发射信号, 其上的回波探测天线接收并检 测射频信号场强, 天线阵列数量的增多和分布面积的增加有利于提高距离控 制的稳定性。  The antenna array can be distributed in a rectangular range by using multiple communication antennas and one echo detecting antenna to form a transmitting and receiving measuring surface, which is beneficial to reduce the interference of the RF signal measurement and improve the stability of the RF distance control. The antenna array may use four, six, eight, nine or twelve antennas equally spaced in a rectangular range, and the echo detecting antenna is arranged near the center of the rectangle, and the communication antenna in the antenna array transmits a signal. The echo detecting antenna on the antenna receives and detects the field strength of the radio frequency signal, and the increase in the number of antenna arrays and the increase in the distribution area are beneficial to improve the stability of the distance control.
距离控制系统中距离判断可以由 P0S中读卡器中处理器来实现。  The distance judgment in the distance control system can be realized by the processor in the card reader in the P0S.
射频通信终端还可以为带有近距离通信功能模块的手机, 即把近距离通 信射频芯片嵌入到手机内, 实现和带有射频 SIM卡的手机同样的近距离射频 通信效果。  The radio frequency communication terminal can also be a mobile phone with a short-range communication function module, that is, the short-range communication radio frequency chip is embedded in the mobile phone, and the same short-range radio frequency communication effect as the mobile phone with the radio frequency SIM card is realized.
射频通信终端还可以为 PDA、 上网本及其他便携式可移动设备。  The RF communication terminal can also be a PDA, a netbook, and other portable mobile devices.
射频 SIM卡也可以为带有射频通信功能的存储卡及其他射频通信模块。 本发明控制射频通信距离的方法有效减小了射频通信终端个体对距离 控制的因素影响, 稳定性好, 距离控制精确。 The RF SIM card can also be a memory card with RF communication function and other RF communication modules. The method for controlling the radio frequency communication distance of the invention effectively reduces the individual pair distance of the radio frequency communication terminal Influence of control factors, good stability and accurate distance control.
下面以一个具体的控制射频通信距离的系统为例,对上述的控制射频通 信距离的系统和方法作进一步的详细说明。  The following is a specific system for controlling the radio frequency communication distance as an example, and the above-mentioned system and method for controlling the radio frequency communication distance are further described in detail.
