The specific positioning principles and methods are described as follows:

Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a positioning method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

The positioning device of this embodiment may collect the first device identification parameter, where the first device identification parameter may be a motion parameter of the device itself; for example, the motion parameter includes: a motion track (amplitude, direction, etc.), a motion speed, and the like.

Taking the positioning device as a mobile phone as an example, optional, see FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a movement trajectory diagram of the positioning device according to an embodiment of the positioning method of the present invention, assuming that the user can hold his mobile phone to “swing”, the mobile phone can The swing amplitude F1 and the swing speed v1 of the swing motion are collected, and then F1 and v1 may be referred to as motion parameters.

Optionally, referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a second embodiment of the positioning method of the positioning device according to the embodiment of the present invention. The user can also use his mobile phone to perform a "straight line" motion, and the mobile phone can collect the motion speed of the linear motion. Vl, motion direction x+, the vl and x+ can be called motion parameters.

In addition, the user can also use his mobile phone for curve motion, slash motion, etc., that is, the motion trajectory and motion mode of the mobile phone can be various, and the motion parameter of this embodiment can be used to identify relevant parameters of the motion.

102. Obtain device information of the target device.

The target device has the following features: the target device is a device that meets a preset device matching condition, and the second device identifier parameter is the target device. And identifying, by the device, a device identifier parameter of the target device; the second device identifier parameter includes: a motion parameter of the target device. That is, determining whether a device is the target device of the positioning device, comparing the first device identification parameter of the positioning device itself with the second device identification parameter of the device, and if the two meet the device matching condition, determining the certain device Devices are the target devices of the pointing device.

Take the comparison of motion parameters as an example: Suppose the positioning device mobile phone a set to its own motion parameters Is the swing amplitude Fl, the swing speed vl, another device, that is, the mobile phone b釆 to its own motion parameters is the swing amplitude F2, the swing speed v2, then compare (Fl, vl) with (F2, v2), see two Whether the motion parameters of the person satisfy the device matching condition. The device matching condition may be that the parameters are consistent; for example, F1 is 30 degrees, F2 is also 30 degrees, vl is 2 degrees/second, and v2 is also 2 degrees/second, then the motion parameters of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b can be determined. Consistent, that is, the motion parameters of the two satisfy the device matching condition, and it is determined that the mobile phone b is the target device of the mobile phone a.

It should be noted that the "parameters are consistent" does not necessarily have the same parameters, and may have a certain error, as long as the phase is within a preset error range; for example, the above F1 is 30 degrees, and F2 is also 31 degrees, vl is 2 degrees / sec, v2 is also 2.5 degrees / sec, as long as the preset error range is met, it can also be determined that the motion parameters of both meet the device matching conditions.

Optionally, the device matching condition is not necessarily consistent in the specific implementation, for example, the parameter may have a certain relationship (such as the opposite, or a multiple relationship); for example, the device may be matched. The condition is that the moving direction is opposite, the moving direction of the mobile phone a is χ+, the moving direction of the mobile phone b is X-, and the direction is opposite, then it can be determined that the motion parameters of the two satisfy the device matching condition. That is, the device matching condition, specifically, which parameters are compared, and which conditions are set, can be freely set, which is not limited in this embodiment. However, in the following several embodiments, the parameters are consistent with each other as an example.

The device information of the target device is information that can identify the target device, for example: a device name, a connection address, an IMSI, a mobile phone number, a registered account of an application on the mobile phone, and the like.

The positioning device acquires the device information of the target device, and the device information of the target device may be obtained by the positioning device itself, for example, the positioning device itself determines the target device by comparing the motion parameter; or the device information of the target device is the positioning device from the other device. For example, the server receives the target device by comparing the motion parameters by the server.

It should be noted that, in the positioning device in this embodiment, two devices that perform positioning may be referred to as the positioning device. For example, if the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are moved by the same motion trajectory and the like, the mobile phone a may be referred to as the positioning device according to the embodiment, and the first device identification parameter of the mobile device is collected, and the mobile phone is received. The device information, the mobile phone b is the target device of the mobile phone a, and the mobile phone b is referred to as the second device identification parameter; or the mobile phone b may be referred to as the positioning device described in this embodiment. The first device identifies the parameter, and receives the device information of the mobile phone a. The mobile phone a is the target device of the mobile phone b, and the mobile phone a is called the second device identification parameter. That is, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are positioned to each other. The positioning method of the embodiment can determine the target device by accurately collecting the motion parameter of the device and determining the device whose motion parameter meets the preset device matching condition according to the motion parameter. For example: Suppose the mobile phone a performs the shaking operation. According to the prior art solution, the application server may feed back the device information of the five devices to the mobile phone a, all of which are mobile phones a and are also shaking operations. However, according to the solution of the embodiment, even if the application server detects that five mobile phones are shaking, it only selects the mobile phone feedback that is consistent with the mobile phone a in the manner of shaking (such as amplitude, speed, etc.), therefore, The target device is determined according to whether the motion parameters match, and the target device can be more accurately positioned than the prior art. Embodiment 2

4 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a positioning method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, a positioning method is used as a mobile phone a and a target device is a mobile phone b, and in this embodiment, a mobile phone is used. Both a and the mobile phone b report the device identification parameters collected by the server to the server, and the server compares the parameters of the two to determine whether the device matching condition is met, and if the information of the mobile phone b is fed back to the mobile phone a by the server.

For a specific process, refer to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a positioning method according to the present disclosure, which may include:

501. The mobile phone a and the mobile phone b each collect a device identification parameter for identifying the user device. The device identification parameter of the mobile phone a set may be referred to as a first device identification parameter, and the mobile phone b is collected. The device identification parameter of the device is referred to as a second device identification parameter. The first device identification parameter and the second device identification parameter both include: a motion parameter of the device itself.

For example, both the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b do "swing" motion, and the amplitude and speed of the swing are substantially equal, the mobile phone a gathers its own swing amplitude and swing speed (Fl, vl), and the mobile phone b gathers its own swing. Amplitude and swing speed (F2, v2). The collection of these parameters can be performed by sensors inside the phone.

502. The mobile phone a and the mobile phone b respectively report their own device identification parameters to the server;

503. The server compares the device identification parameters of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b, and determines whether the preset device matching condition is met;

After receiving the device identification parameters (F1, vl) and (F2, v2) sent by the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b, the server compares the two; for example, comparing F1 with F2, vl and v2, Determine if the value is within the preset error range. If yes, it indicates that the motion parameters of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b satisfy the preset device matching condition, and continue to execute 504; otherwise, it indicates that the motion parameters of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b do not meet the preset device matching conditions, and no subsequent processing is performed. The server can continue to wait for the device identification parameters sent by other mobile phones, and continue to search for the target device of the mobile phone a.

504. The server sends the device information of the mobile phone b to the mobile phone a.

The mobile phone b is the target device of the mobile phone a, and the server can send the device information of the mobile phone b to the mobile phone a; the device information is, for example, the international mobile device identity (IMEI) of the mobile phone b, The number of the mobile phone b, etc. At this point, the mobile phone a has found its target device b.

For example, in the embodiment, the positioning device is the mobile phone a, and the target device is the mobile phone b. For the case where the positioning device wants to transmit information to the target device, the positioning device is the information sender, and the information may be. Optionally, in 502, the mobile phone a in the embodiment may send the device information of the mobile phone a in addition to the device identification parameter of the mobile device, and is used to indicate that the mobile phone a is the sender (for example, the mobile phone a is a picture. The identifier of the sender (the identifier is represented by, for example, a bit, "1" indicates the sender, and "0" indicates the receiver; of course, it can be represented in other ways). The device information of the mobile phone a can be used for the server to communicate with the mobile phone a according to the connection, and the identifier of the sender can cause the server to learn that the mobile phone a is the sender, so that the device information of the target device is subsequently sent to the mobile phone a.

Optionally, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b of the embodiment send respective device information to the server; the server may also obtain device information of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b by other means, for example, the mobile phone b does not send the device information to the server, and the server passes Identify some kind of iconic information to know the device information of mobile phone a and mobile phone b.

In this embodiment, the server only sends the device information of the target device to the positioning device, but does not send the device information of the positioning device to the target device, which can save the resources of the server and reduce the burden on the server.

Optionally, in the specific embodiment, the server does not need to know who is the positioning device, but sends the device information of the positioning device and the device information of the target device to each other, that is, the device information of the positioning device is sent to the target device. And transmitting the device information of the target device to the positioning device.

Further, the device identification parameters collected by the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b further include: the device itself The environmental parameters of the environment; the environmental parameters are, for example, height data, temperature, humidity, etc., and may also include information such as geographic location, time, and the like of the device.

The above-mentioned collection of environmental parameters can help to determine the target device more accurately. For example, the mobile phone a is a positioning device, and the target device that it is looking for is the mobile phone b, and the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b may be two of the same user. In the hands (such as the user holding the phone a in the left hand and the phone b in the right hand), and the mobile phone b and the mobile phone b perform the same exercise; but the mobile phone c that is far away from the user is exactly the same as the mobile phone a. Movement; in this case, it would be more difficult to judge only based on the motion parameters. In this embodiment, by adding the above-mentioned environmental parameters, it is helpful to accurately determine the target device; for example, the mobile phone c and the mobile phone a are likely to have different data such as temperature and humidity around the distance due to the distance, and the mobile phone b Since it is close to the mobile phone a, the temperature and humidity are the same, so by comparing the environmental parameters, it can be determined that the mobile phone b is the target device instead of the mobile phone c. Alternatively, the mobile phone c and the mobile phone b can be distinguished according to the geographical location information of the device (the geographical location of the identified mobile phone is relatively small, and the mobile phone c and the mobile phone b can be distinguished). Embodiment 3

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of a positioning method according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6 , the positioning method is described in the embodiment, where the positioning device is the mobile phone a and the target device is the mobile phone b. The interaction device identification parameters of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are compared and matched by the mobile phone itself for device identification parameters, and are no longer processed by the server.

For a specific process, refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of still another embodiment of a positioning method according to the present disclosure, which may include:

701. The mobile phone a and the mobile phone b each collect device identification parameters for identifying themselves; for example, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b both perform "wobble" motion, and the amplitude and speed of the swing are substantially equal, and the mobile phone a collects itself. The amplitude of the swing and the swing speed (Fl, vl), the mobile phone b collects its own swing amplitude and swing speed (F2, v2).

702, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are connected, and the respective device identification parameters are transmitted to the other party; for example, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b can automatically open after detecting that they are exercising (for example, detecting a swing) The Bluetooth device monitors and searches for nearby Bluetooth devices, thereby establishing a Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b (of course, other connection methods can also be used in the specific implementation). After the connection is established, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b can transmit the respective device identification parameters of the collected devices to the other party. Since the mobile phone a is not sure whether the mobile phone b is its own target device at this time, the device identification parameter of the mobile phone a set can be referred to as the first device identification parameter, and the second device of the received mobile phone b is collected. The identification parameter is used to identify the mobile phone b, which is actually the above (F2, v2). The mobile phone b can also send its own device information such as IMEI to the mobile phone a.

703. The mobile phone a and the mobile phone b each compare the device identification parameters to determine that the other party is its own target device.

For example, the mobile phone a compares its own first device identification parameter (Fl, vl) with the received second device identification parameter (F2, v2) of the mobile phone b, and if it is within the error range, it indicates that the preset is satisfied. The device matching condition determines that the mobile phone b is the target device of the mobile phone a. Similarly, the mobile phone b will compare (F2, v2) with the received mobile phone a (Fl, vl) to determine that the mobile phone a is the target device of the mobile phone b.

Optionally, in a specific implementation, the device identification parameter specifically includes which parameters may be changed according to actual conditions, and is not limited to several parameters mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention. For example, the acceleration of the motion may also be collected. In addition, the user can also be given the freedom to select and set, and the user can decide which parameters to collect as the device identification parameters, or even if the mobile phone can collect a plurality of parameters, the user can set only one of the parameters. Some parameters. Moreover, when performing parameter comparison, it is necessary to determine whether it is within a preset error range, and the error range can also be set to a manner that can be changed. Embodiment 4

In this embodiment, based on accurately positioning the target device, information transmission between the positioning device and the target device may also be performed. For example, in practical applications, it is possible to generate the following requirements: User A has two mobile phones, namely mobile phone a and mobile phone b, and the user wants to take a picture on mobile phone a (or other types of files, programs, etc.) The transmission to the mobile phone b, the embodiment describes that the mobile phone a transmits the picture to the mobile phone b after determining that the mobile phone b is its own target device by the above positioning method.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of signaling of a positioning method according to another embodiment of the present invention. The positioning device is a mobile phone a, and the target device is a mobile phone b. For example, as shown in Figure 8, it includes:

801, a picture on the mobile phone a is selected by the user;

Wherein, the picture is the picture that the user wants to send to the mobile phone b (ie, the target letter to be transmitted) In the specific implementation, other types of files or data and other resources may also be used. After the user selects the picture, the mobile phone a can stay on the picture browsing interface.

802, mobile phone a and mobile phone b start to swing, and respectively collect respective device identification parameters; wherein, the user can take the mobile phone a in the left hand and the mobile phone b in the right hand, and swing the two devices at substantially the same amplitude and speed; It may be that the user takes the mobile phone a, instructing another user to take the mobile phone b, and the two swing the two devices at substantially the same amplitude and speed. Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the motion of the device in another embodiment of the positioning method according to the present invention. The mobile phone a that has selected the image to be transmitted (Image) and the known target device mobile phone b perform substantially the same swing, and the mobile phone a釆The first device identification parameter (Fl, vl) is set, and the second device identification parameter (F2, v2) is set by the mobile phone.

Optionally, an application dedicated to processing the target device positioning of the embodiment may be set on the mobile phone. If the user opens the application on the mobile phone, the sensor in the mobile phone automatically starts detecting when the user swings the mobile phone. Device identification parameters (such as the above-mentioned various motion parameters); If the user does not open the application on the mobile phone, the user does not trigger the sensor in the mobile phone to automatically detect the device identification parameter when swinging the mobile phone, thereby saving power consumption of the mobile phone. . Alternatively, the device may be triggered to start detecting the device identification parameter by using other means, that is, the positioning process in this embodiment may be triggered by the mobile phone in some manner, for example, a function option may be set on the mobile phone, if the user selects the Option, the phone starts to perform its own motion parameter detection.

803, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b respectively report their own device identification parameters to the server; wherein, the mobile phone a sends the collected first device identification parameter (Fl, vl) to the server, and the mobile phone b will collect the second device identifier. The parameters (F2, v2) are sent to the server. When the device identification parameter is reported, the mobile phone may also send its own device information to the server, so that after determining the target device, the server may send the device information of the target device to the positioning device. Of course, the device information can also be reported to the server by the previous mobile phone.

Optionally, in the process of searching for the preset target device, that is, the mobile phone b, the mobile phone a can display the “searching” related information on the mobile phone a before the mobile phone b is searched, so that the mobile phone interface is displayed and The hints of the positioning process are more abundant. For example, referring to FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of a process prompt in another embodiment of the positioning method according to the present invention. "searching" may be displayed on the mobile phone interface to indicate that the mobile phone a is performing the positioning process, but has not searched its target device; You can also add some animation effects or sound prompts.

804. The server compares device identification parameters of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b, and determines that the mobile phone b and the mobile phone a are matched devices; The server can determine whether the two mobile phones match by determining whether the device identification parameters (Fl, vl), (F2, v2) meet the preset device matching conditions, for example, whether the above parameters are basically the same. The server in this embodiment can determine that the mobile phone b is the target device of the mobile phone a. Similarly, the mobile phone a is also the target device of the mobile phone b.

805, the server sends the device information of the mobile phone b to the mobile phone a, and sends the device information of the mobile phone a to the mobile phone b;

Optionally, the server may send the device information of the two mobile phones to the other device, so that both devices can confirm that the other party is their own target device; in this case, both devices are looking for their own target devices, and the mobile phone a is Looking for mobile phone b, want to send your own picture to mobile phone b, mobile phone b is also looking for mobile phone a, want to get the picture you want from mobile phone a.

Alternatively, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b may also be one of the initiators and the other is the receiver; for example, the mobile phone a searches for the mobile phone b, which is the active initiator, and the mobile phone a can carry the device identification parameter when it is sent to the server. Indicates that the mobile phone a is the originator, that is, the role identification information of the positioning device (for example, "1" indicates the initiator); after the server determines that the target device is the mobile phone b, the server can only send the device information of the mobile phone b according to the role identification information. To the mobile phone a, the device information of the mobile phone a may not be sent to the mobile phone b at this time; the mobile phone b is equivalent to the passive recipient, and it only waits for the connection of the mobile phone a.

In order to enrich the interest of the mobile phone display and the interactive prompting function of the mobile phone, the information of the target device can be found on the mobile phone interface. Referring to FIG. 11 , FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of matching completion in another embodiment of the positioning method according to the present invention. "Paired up! Now file transfer commences" is displayed on the phone interface, indicating that the matching target device has been found, and the file transfer is being prepared; at this time, some animation effects or sound prompts may also be added.

806, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are connected;

Here, it can be set to be automatically connected. For example, after confirming that the target device has been found, the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b can automatically start the target device according to the device information after receiving the device information of the target device delivered by the server. Make a connection. For example, Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (WIFI), and Near Field Communication (NFC) can be used to connect.

Optionally, the foregoing connection manners such as WIFI and Bluetooth are more suitable for the case where the distance between the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b is relatively close; when the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are far apart, the two can also be connected in other manners. Optionally, the above WIFI, Bluetooth, etc. connection mode may be the default connection mode of the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b. For example, most of the current mobile phones may have Bluetooth functions, including mobile phone a and mobile phone b, then mobile phone a and When the mobile phone b automatically initiates a connection, Bluetooth mode can be enabled by default. If the two parties are not sure about the connection mode selected by the other party, or are not sure which connection mode the other party supports, they can also negotiate the connection mode through the server. For example, the mobile phone a sends its own Bluetooth mode to the server, and the server prompts the mobile phone b to the Bluetooth. Select the information, if the phone b supports, the phone b can instruct the server to reply to the phone a, which supports Bluetooth, then the two parties start the Bluetooth connection.

It should be noted that step 806 can be performed at any time before step 807, as long as the connection is established before step 807 is performed.

807, the mobile phone a sends the picture selected in 801 to the mobile phone b;

The picture transmission in this step is transmitted by using the above-mentioned WIFI, Bluetooth, etc.; in the process of picture transmission, the mobile phone interface can display the transmission information and status. For example, referring to FIG. 12, FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a transmission state in another embodiment of the positioning method according to the present invention. The interface on the mobile phone a can display the sending progress of the picture "Sending... 50%", and correspondingly, the interface on the mobile phone b can be The progress of receiving the picture is displayed "Receiving... 50%".

Optionally, in this embodiment, the user first selects a picture to be transmitted, and then performs a location search of the target device, and automatically starts performing a connection and a picture transmission process to the target device after finding the target device; The process may also be changed, and is not limited to the process in this embodiment. For example, the mobile phone a may first perform the location search of the target device, and then select the target device and then select the picture to be transmitted according to the prompt of the mobile phone; Alternatively, after receiving the device information of the target device mobile phone b sent by the server, the mobile phone a may prompt the user whether to perform picture transmission, whether to connect the mobile phone b, etc., and then perform subsequent operations according to the user's selection.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the mobile phone a transmits the picture to the mobile phone b as an example, that is, the mobile phone a is the picture sender, and the mobile phone b is the picture receiver. Before the mobile phone a sends the picture, the mobile phone a receives the instruction of the selected target information (for example, the picture), that is, the instruction for receiving the selected target information can be executed at any time when the mobile phone a sends the picture, for example: Before the device identification parameter is set, it may also be performed after the mobile phone a acquires the device information of the target device.

It should be noted that the instruction to receive the selected target information has two functions: one is to determine that the mobile phone a is the sender of the target information, and the other is to determine that the target information that the mobile phone a is to send to the mobile phone b is the selected picture. Similarly, if the mobile phone b transmits resources to the mobile phone a, it can also be performed as described above. Optionally, the device information sent by the server to the mobile phone a, and the specific information of the device information may be determined according to the transmission mode used by the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b to transmit pictures.

For example, if the mobile phone a and the mobile phone b are to transmit pictures through the Bluetooth connection, the device information transmitted by the server to the mobile phone a is the Bluetooth connection address of the mobile phone b, and may also include the device identification of the mobile phone b, and the device identification is, for example, the mobile phone b. IMSI, mobile phone number, or registered account of an application on the mobile phone; such that the mobile phone a can know who the target device is by the device identification, and can also establish a connection with the mobile phone b according to the Bluetooth connection address. The Bluetooth connection address of the mobile phone b may be transmitted by the mobile phone b to the server, for example, the mobile phone b sends the motion parameter to the server one by one.

For example, mobile phone a and mobile phone b need to transfer pictures through server forwarding, that is, mobile phone a sends the picture to the server, and the server transfers the picture to mobile phone b, then the device information transmitted by the server to mobile phone a may not contain similar information. The information such as the Bluetooth connection address can be used to send only the device identification of the mobile phone b to the mobile phone a, such as the IMSI of the mobile phone b. When the mobile phone a transmits the picture to the mobile phone b, the device identification of the mobile phone b can also be sent to the server, and the server can forward the picture to the mobile phone b according to the device identification.
