Technical field

Background technique

The protocol is implemented by 3GPP.

The LBS-based positioning technology of the related art is very limited in adaptation scenarios, and can only be tracked by a single user, that is, only one user's location information can be obtained at a time, because the auxiliary service cannot affect the normal operation of the communication service on the premise of acquiring the location. The network element cannot report the information of all users to the LBS in real time. The LBS can only send commands to the core network element HLR (Home Location Register)/HSS (Home Subscriber Server, IMS, IP) when needed. The Multimedia Subsystem, an important component of the control layer in the IP Multimedia Subsystem, obtains the subscriber information and then sends it to the SGSN (Serving GPRS SUPPORT NODE, GPRS Service Support Node) / MSC (Mobile Switching Center) / MME. (Mobility Management Entity, the key control node of the 3GPP protocol LTE access network), the core network element finds the terminal location information of the corresponding user, and then returns it to the LBS, and the user must sign the LBS service with the operator, which is complicated and applicable. The range is very limited.

It satisfies the definition of the area in various application scenarios; the area visibility means that the area is divided into a public area (public) and a private area (private); the area editability means that the third-party system can modify and delete the defined area at any time. The modified area takes effect in real time to ensure the real-time effectiveness of the new area.

When the area of the electronic fence is a concave polygon (such as five-star ☆, etc.), the fourth processing unit is configured to: determine whether the positive and negative of the directional area of the adjacent triangle formed by the terminal and all adjacent boundary points of the concave polygon are the same, If they are the same, the terminal belongs to the electronic fence area.

In practical applications, in order to effectively manage the wireless mobile terminal location information in real time, after the region definition is completed, it is necessary to effectively determine in real time whether the current location of the wireless mobile terminal is within a specified region, which can be abstracted into a mathematical problem, terminal abstraction For a point P(X,Y), the region is abstracted into a known circle or line or polygon, and then the directional area of the region is calculated, and the directionality of each vertice of the polygon in the coordinate system is determined by the directed area. If the polygon is all cis or inverse, the point is in the area, and the point is not in the area; in combination with the foregoing embodiment, the first processing unit and the second processing unit are relatively simple to implement, and are not described herein again. The implementation of the three processing units and the fourth processing unit is as follows:

The third processing unit and the fourth processing unit are mainly used to determine whether a point is in a multilateral row (including an online line). To take advantage of the coordinate relationship of each point, such as determining whether a point is inside a triangle. A triangle in a coordinate system (assuming three points consisting of A, B, and C) can be used to determine the directionality of the three points A, B, and C in the coordinate system by calculating its directional area. The polygon-directed area calculation rule represented by the vector is calculated by the determinant, for example, the △ABC directed area is as follows:

The triangular directed area can represent the third-order determinant of the above figure, and the area of the n-sided shape can be expressed as an N-order determinant like this. Using the determinant algorithm, you can get the directional area and calculate the area using the following formula in the Cartesian coordinate system:

S=((A.x-B.x)*(A.y+B.y)+(B.x-C.x)*(B.y+C.y)+(C.x-A.x)*(C.y+B.y))/2;

The directional area can be positive or negative, depending on the vector enclosed in the closed graph. If the three vertices of the triangle ABC are arranged counterclockwise, the area is positive, the clockwise arrangement is negative, and the three points are collinear. The area is 0. The calculation rule is: starting from the first point, use the product of the first horizontal coordinate minus the horizontal coordinate and the sum of the two coordinates to find the trapezoidal area, until the polygon closure is completed, and the directional area of the triangle is obtained. . At this time, if the value obtained is positive (S>0), it is concluded that A->B->C is clockwise, otherwise it is counterclockwise, and thus the forward-reverse relationship of a triangle can be judged.

For convex polygons (take triangle ABC as an example), mainly for the third processing unit, suppose there is a point D. If the point is inside the triangle, then the point D is used as the starting point, and any two of the original polygons are consecutive. The triangles that are distinguished by the direction of the polygons (such as DAB, DBC, DCA) are all directions, such as DAB and DBC are clockwise. If this point is outside the triangle, the three triangle directions of DAB, DBC, and DCA will be inconsistent. That is, one of them is different from the other two (such as one cis, two inverses). This is how to judge whether a point is inside a triangle. The algorithm summarizes the sentence by: judging that the point and the triangle are two consecutive points to form the forwardness of the triangle (positive and negative of the directional area) to obtain the result. The same principle, for other convex polygons such as 6-sided, 20-sided, etc., also use this method to judge, the difference is that the number of triangles judged at this time increases, in short, the principle of judgment is that as long as the point inside the polygon, Their rectification is the same.

For the concave polygon, it is mainly for the fourth processing unit, which is relatively more complicated than the convex polygon. At this time, it is more complicated to judge whether a point is internally calculated. The algorithm is as follows: At this time, the judgment of the triangles may be invalid, and at this time, two judgments should be made at the same time. That is, it is judged whether the point is in the two consecutive triangles of the polygon at the same time, which is equivalent to finding the intersection of the two triangles until the polygon closure is completed. If the P point is in the polygon ABCD, in turn It is judged whether P is in each pair of triangles of ABC-BCD, BCD-CDA, CDA-DAB, and DAB-ABC, and P indicates that P is in the intersection of ABC-BCD in ABC-BCD. This allows you to determine if a point is inside a concave polygon.

For complex polygons such as inner holes and enclaves, the corresponding polygons are first obtained by the topological operation of the polygons, and then the convex/concave polygons are determined, and the corresponding processing unit is selected for processing.

In some embodiments, the terminal management device 13 in FIG. 1 further includes a triggering module, and the triggering module is configured to: configure a trigger event and a trigger condition for the electronic fence area according to the user selection, for example, the trigger event is the start of the standby base station of the area, The triggering condition is that the number of terminals in the area is greater than a threshold or the like; at this time, the processing module 132 is further configured to: after determining the electronic fence area to which the terminal belongs, determine whether the electronic fence area satisfies the trigger condition, and if so, execute the trigger event.

In practical applications, the terminal management device 13 may be a stand-alone new device, or may run a new program on the core network element of the existing communication network to function as the terminal management device 13 herein.

Second embodiment:

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a terminal management method according to a second embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiment, the terminal management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

S201: Acquire location information of the terminal.

S202: Determine an electronic fence area to which the terminal belongs.

In some embodiments, before the step S201, the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 further includes: a step of setting an electronic fence area, the step may include: determining a boundary point of the electronic fence area, obtaining a latitude and longitude corresponding to the boundary point, according to the boundary point. In the order, the electronic fence area is set according to the latitude and longitude corresponding to each boundary point.

In some embodiments, the location information in the foregoing embodiment includes the time when the terminal arrives at a location and the latitude and longitude of the location. Step S201 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 includes: acquiring terminal motion information uploaded by the communication system device in real time; The motion information determines the location information.

The step S201 includes an acquisition step and a processing step, wherein:

The acquisition step enables real-time adoption of various raw data from the acquisition device, such as wireless 2G/3G/4G BTS/RNC/E-Node B collects terminal location information data in real time; and collects network information data (control plane signaling data) and service information data (user plane service data) in real time with 2G/3G/4G network side probes or network elements. The collection step can be implemented in a distributed system architecture. The data is only received by the data source. After receiving the data, it is immediately distributed to the service board according to the distribution policy. After the service board is simply cleaned and filtered, if it needs to be backfilled, it is backfilled (for example) Backfilling user information), and then performing processing steps on the processed data;

The processing step can be implemented by using a distributed data processing technology of big data. After receiving the data that is simply processed by the acquisition step, the data is sent to the first processing node for processing, and the data of the wireless side is parsed to the location information of the wireless terminal, and the record is recorded. The time point corresponding to the time position, and then handed over to the next processing node for processing, parsing the network-related control signaling data according to the network side data, and then proceeding to the next processing node for processing, that is, according to the network side data solution analysis The user service data is processed by multiple processing nodes multiple times, and finally the location data and network data of the wireless terminal at the time point are obtained, and finally the processed data is forwarded to the processing module for further processing, and is also handed over to the storage device. Storage is used for post-analysis.

In some embodiments, for step S202 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the processing logic and the business rules are freely and flexibly defined, and the business processing logic is added or decreased at any time, so the step still uses distributed streaming of big data. The processing technology is implemented. The processing module polls all the created areas in real time. After receiving the terminal location and network data, it passes to the next processing node to determine which area to belong to, and then continues to hand over to the next processing node to compare the previous attribution. Area, if the two areas are different, the terminal has already diffused the last area, and records the time point as the diffuse event point of the area, and records the time point as the time point of the new area and records it. Calculate the time difference between the diffuse and the diffuse, that is, the length of stay of the terminal in the region, and record it. Calculate the distance between the two points according to the coordinates of the diffuse and the diffuse points, and calculate the distance according to the duration. The speed of the terminal in the area, and recorded, the time point, the time point, the retention time and the running speed After being calculated, it is sent to the storage system for use for post-mortem statistical analysis. The processing result is further transmitted to the next node for processing. The node starts counting the above indicators of the terminal in real time, such as the number of times a terminal has diffused into the area, and the result is diffused. The number of times, when the specified threshold is reached, triggers the number of full arrivals to reach the threshold event. If the third-party system subscribes to the event, the event will be accepted. The third-party system will do its own related business processing according to its own needs, and complete the terminal return. It is a judging function of the area, recording the time of the terminal's flooding, the length of the recording area, the speed of the area, and triggering various threshold events in real time.

In some embodiments, step S201 in the above embodiment includes:

When the area of the electronic fence is a straight line, it is judged whether the terminal is on a straight line, and if so, the terminal belongs to the electronic fence area;
