(1)測位システムの構成:
(2)データ登録処理:
(3)まとめと変形例:
図1は、本実施形態にかかる測位システム100の概略を示す模式図である。測位システム100は、屋外にある携帯端末50に対し、GPS(Global Positioning System)衛星から航法メッセージを送信することができる。航法メッセージは、電波送信されるGPS衛星の予測暦であり、衛星位置を計算するために必要な軌道情報等が含まれている。携帯端末50は、受信した航法メッセージに基づいて自身の位置を算出することにより自身の位置を特定することができる。また、測位システム100は、屋内や所定のエリアに形成されたIMES(Indoor Messaging System)200の提供エリア内にある携帯端末50に対し、IMES送信機から位置情報を送信することができる。位置情報はIMESを構成する各IMES送信機の設置場所を示す情報であり、携帯端末50は、受信した位置情報に基づいて自らの位置を特定する。
携帯端末50は、以上のようにして算出もしくは特定した位置情報を情報提供サーバー(不図示)に送信することにより、情報提供サーバーから位置情報に応じた各種のサービスの提供を受けることができる。
ここで、IMES送信機の構成について図5を参照して説明する。なお、本実施形態では、IMES送信機20とIMES送信機30A,30B,30C・・・とで異なる構成を採用している。
領域23Aには、送信機を識別するための番号として送信機番号が格納される。送信機番号には、製造時に送信機のメモリーに不揮発的に記憶される製造番号を利用することができる。むろん、他の各送信機のユニークな情報を利用してもよいし、製造番号や他のユニーク情報を所定の方法で変換して生成された情報(ハッシュ値等)を利用してもよい。なお、本実施形態においては、これら送信機番号等が識別情報を構成する。
領域23Bには、当該IMES送信機に割当てられた擬似拡散符号のID(PRN-ID)が格納される。
領域23Cには、当該IMES送信機の名称が、例えばテキストデータ等として格納される。
領域23Dには、IMES規格のShortIDやMidiumIDが格納される。ShortIDやMidiumIDは、各IMES送信機にユニークに割当てられる情報であるが、IMES規格では各IMES200において独自に運用可能な情報と規定されている。すなわち、領域23Dは、各IMES200における独自運用によって各IMES送信機に割当てられるユニーク情報を格納する領域と言える。
領域23Eには、当該IMES送信機の設置されている場所を特定するための位置情報が格納される。位置情報は、例えば、緯度、経度、高度、フロア階数、を適宜に組合せて表すことができる。
領域23Fは、無線送信の利用に供するための情報であって位置情報以外の情報が格納され、例えば、送信出力を規定するデータ、住所、建物名称等とすることができる。
領域23Gは、制御部21が実行するプログラムコードが格納されている。上述したように、当該プログラムコード中には擬似拡散符号のID(PRN-ID)に対応する符号化パターンが含まれる。
図8は管理コンピューター11における位置情報の登録処理のフローチャートであり、図9はIMES送信機20における位置情報の登録処理のフローチャートであり、図10はIMES送信機30における位置情報の登録処理のフローチャートである。
このとき、ステップS420の判断処理においては、ステップS410で取得した登録データDsetからユニーク情報を生成し、当該ユニーク情報が、RAM31aの所定領域に一時記憶されているユニーク情報のいずれかと一致する場合は(S420:Yes)受信した登録データDsetを破棄し(S470)、RAM31aの所定領域に一時記憶されているユニーク情報のいずれとも一致しない場合は(S420:No)ステップS430に進むことになる。
以上のように、RAM31bの所定領域に記憶するユニーク情報を所定時間保持し続けると、同じ登録データDsetを所定時間内に2回以上受信した場合に、ステップS420の判断処理により、同じ登録データDsetを他のIMES送信機に2回以上重複して転送することを防止できる。
以上説明したように、IMES送信機20は、制御部21と、IMES送信機20の送信機番号と位置情報と擬似拡散符号のIDとを記憶するための不揮発性メモリー23と、データI/F24と、を備えており、制御部21は、送信機番号と位置情報とを対応付けた登録データDsetをデータI/F24から入力されると、登録データDsetにIMES送信機20の送信機番号が含まれる場合は登録データDsetに含まれる位置情報を不揮発性メモリー23に記憶させ、登録データDsetにIMES送信機20以外の送信機番号が含まれる場合は登録データDsetを送信部22から送信させる。すなわち、データI/F24から入力された登録データDsetのうち、自身を宛先として送られてきた位置情報を自身に設定し、他のIMES送信機を宛先として送られてきた位置情報をスペクトラム拡散信号として送信する。従って、受信部34を備えたIMES送信機30に登録データDsetをリレー中継することが可能となる。
なお、上述した実施形態では、IMES送信機20には受信部を搭載せず、IMES送信機30にはデータI/Fを搭載しない構成としたが、むろん、IMES送信機20にも受信部を備えさせてもよい。この場合、IMES送信機20,30は、IMES200における利用形態が異なるのみで、ハードウェアやソフトウェア構成は統一することが出来る。
また、1つのIMES200の中に複数のIMES送信機20を配置するようにしてもよい。すなわち、管理コンピューター11に接続されるIMES送信機を複数とする。この場合、複数箇所から登録データDsetの中継が開始されるため、IMES200全体のデータ設定や更新が、より短時間で完了する。むろん、複数のIMES送信機20が、IMES200において互いに離れた位置になるように設置すると、時間短縮の効果は更に高まる。
また、上述した実施形態では、管理コンピューター11がIMES送信機20に送信する登録データDsetに含まれる位置情報が1つである前提で説明を行っていたが、むろん、登録データDsetは、宛先と位置情報の組を複数含んで構成されてもよい。このとき、IMES送信機20は、登録データDsetに含まれる複数組の宛先と位置情報をまとめて送信部22から送信してもよいし、1組ずつ順次送信してもよい。複数組の宛先と位置情報をまとめて送信する場合は、登録データDsetを受信したIMES送信機20は各宛先を判断し、自身の送信機番号が宛先となっている位置情報を取得して不揮発性メモリー23の該当領域に格納した後、送信部22からリレー送信することになる。むろん、IMES送信機30が同様の登録データDsetを受信部34を介して受信した場合も、IMES送信機20と同様の判断、格納、リレー送信等の処理・動作を行うことになる。
また、上述した実施形態では、管理コンピューター11がIMES送信機20に送信する登録データDsetに含まれる宛先に対応付けられた情報が1つであるものとして説明を行っていたが、登録データDsetに含まれる1つの宛先に複数種類の情報を対応付けてもよい(例えば、1つの宛先に、位置情報と擬似拡散符号のIDの2種類の情報を対応付ける等)。このような登録データDsetを受信したIMES送信機20は次のように動作する。
まず、複数種類の情報が対応付けられている宛先を1つだけ含む登録データDsetを受信すると、登録データDsetの宛先が自身の送信機番号の場合は、当該宛先に対応付けられた複数種類の情報を取得して不揮発性メモリー23の該当領域にそれぞれ格納し、この登録データDsetのリレー送信は行わない。一方、登録データDsetの宛先が自身の送信機番号でない場合は、送信部22から他のIMES送信機に登録データDsetをリレー送信することになる。
次に、複数種類の情報が対応付けられている宛先を複数含む登録データDsetを受信すると、登録データDsetの宛先に自身の送信機番号が含まれている場合は、自身の送信機番号に対応付けられた複数種類の情報を取得して不揮発性メモリーの該当領域にそれぞれ格納した後、送信部22から他のIMES送信機に登録データDsetをリレー送信する。一方、登録データDsetの宛先に自身の送信機番号が含まれていない場合は、情報の取得や格納を行わずに送信部22から他のIMES送信機に登録データDsetをリレー送信することになる。
むろん、IMES送信機30が同様の登録データDsetを受信部34を介して受信した場合も、IMES送信機20と同様の判断、格納、リレー送信等の処理・動作を行うことになる。
