detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is a partial embodiment of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

There are many smart terminals on the market, such as smart watches and smart bracelets. Most of the users of these smart terminals are children and the elderly. Generally, these smart terminals have a positioning function, so that the guardian can know the location information of the ward (such as children and the elderly) in real time, and ensure that the ward is at a safe distance or in a safe place.

These intelligent terminals can be based on base station positioning or WIFI positioning when performing positioning. By The location of the base station has a large error, so WIFI positioning is preferred in the case of WIFI. When there is no WIFI signal, it will automatically retreat and select the base station positioning. However, due to the small size and weak signal of these intelligent terminals, it is impossible to scan more WIFIs. These intelligent terminals can only scan a few WIFIs with strong signals nearby, but these WIFIs (such as home WIFI) are likely It belongs to the private WIFI, and the map service does not include the geographical location information corresponding to these WIFIs. Therefore, the location information of the smart terminal cannot be obtained according to the scanned WIFI. In order to solve this problem, the following embodiments of the present invention propose a positioning method based on a wireless network.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a wireless network-based positioning method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a wireless network-based positioning method according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

Step 101: Receive wireless connection information sent by the terminal to be located, where the wireless connection information includes a network identifier of the wireless network currently detected by the terminal to be located, and a hardware identifier of the terminal to be located.

In this step, the server receives the wireless connection information sent by the terminal to be located, where the wireless connection information includes the network identifier of the wireless network currently detected by the terminal to be located, and the hardware identifier of the terminal to be located.

The server here refers to a server having a specific relationship with the terminal to be located, and the server is responsible for background maintenance and data processing of the terminal to be located. For example, the positioning work of the terminal to be located is handled by the server.

The network identifier of the wireless network may be a WIFI name, a MAC address of a wireless network, or other identifier that can represent a wireless network.

The hardware identifier of the terminal to be located may be a production serial number of the terminal to be located or an identifier such as an IMEI, which may uniquely represent the terminal to be located.

Preferably, the wireless connection information in this step is sent when the to-be-positioned terminal performs positioning according to a positioning period. Specifically, when the positioning period is reached, the to-be-positioned terminal performs wireless network detection, and if the wireless network is detected, sends a wireless connection letter to the server. The wireless connection information includes a network identifier of the wireless network currently detected by the terminal to be located, and a hardware identifier of the terminal to be located.

Of course, the wireless connection information in this step may also be sent when the user triggers. For example, the user of the terminal to be located presses a preset positioning key, and the terminal to be located starts wireless network detection, and if the wireless network is detected, sends the wireless connection information to the server.

Step 102: Obtain a mapping relationship between the to-be-located terminal according to the hardware identifier, where the mapping relationship includes a correspondence between the network identifier and the location information.

In this step, the server is responsible for the positioning work of a larger number of intelligent terminals. Therefore, the server stores multiple mapping relationships, and each mapping relationship corresponds to one smart terminal. Therefore, in this step, the server may obtain a mapping relationship corresponding to the hardware identifier according to the hardware identifier received in step 101, where the mapping relationship is a mapping relationship corresponding to the terminal to be located. The mapping relationship includes a common network identifier of the terminal to be located and location information corresponding to the common network identifier.

In addition, the mapping relationship corresponding to the terminal to be located may be preset or may be automatically established by the server. The process of the server automatically establishing the mapping relationship can be referred to the following second or third embodiment.

Step 103: Searching in the mapping relationship according to the received network identifier, obtaining location information corresponding to the received network identifier, and determining the location information as current location information of the to-be-located terminal.

In this step, the network identifier received in the above step 101 is searched in the mapping relationship acquired in the above step 102 to determine whether the network identifier received in step 101 exists in the mapping relationship acquired in step 102. If yes, the network identifier received in step 102 is obtained. The location information corresponding to the network identifier received in step 101 is obtained in the mapping relationship, and the location information is determined as the current location information of the to-be-located terminal, thereby completing positioning of the to-be-located terminal.

For example, the network identifier received in the above step 101 is a WIFI name, and the WIFI name is specifically "dengdeng". In addition, the mapping relationship acquired in the above step 102 is as shown in Table 1 below.

Table 1

Network identification	location information
Lucky	a kindergarten
Dengdeng	Home
360 free WIFI-C2	unit
Niuniu	Neighbors
Xiaoxiao	Playground next to home

Then, the location information “home” corresponding to “dengdeng” is obtained from the above table 1 according to the received network identifier “dengdeng”, and the location information “home” is determined as the current location information of the terminal to be located, thereby completing the pair. Positioning of the terminal to be located. The location information in the above table is some commonly used location names, so that the obtained location information is relatively intuitive. Of course, the location information may also be geographic location information, such as a certain street, a certain cell, geographic location coordinates, etc. Wait.

It can be seen from this step that since the terminal to be located detects the wireless network at home, the location information corresponding to the wireless network is not included in the map service (the location information corresponding to the general home network is rarely included in the map service), Therefore, according to the positioning method in the prior art, the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located cannot be located, and according to the rules set by the server, the second step can be taken only, and the base station is used to locate or abandon the smart terminal. Positioning. The location of the base station is generally inaccurate and cannot obtain accurate positioning results.

In this embodiment, the mapping relationship between the network identifier and the location information is included in the mapping relationship corresponding to the to-be-located terminal. Therefore, the embodiment only needs to determine the location information of the to-be-located terminal according to the received network identifier. The positioning method described in this embodiment can not only achieve positioning, but also obtain accurate positioning results.

The wireless network-based positioning method of the embodiment first receives the wireless connection information sent by the terminal to be located, where the wireless connection information includes the network identifier of the wireless network currently detected by the terminal to be located, and the to-be-determined And obtaining a mapping relationship of the terminal to be located according to the hardware identifier, where the mapping relationship is Included in the mapping relationship between the network identifier and the location information, and finally searching for the location information corresponding to the received network identifier according to the received network identifier, and determining the location information as the to-be-positioned The current location information of the terminal, thereby completing the positioning of the terminal to be located. It can be seen that the wireless network-based positioning method in this embodiment can determine the to-be-positioned according to the wireless connection information (including the network identifier) sent by the terminal to be located and the pre-stored mapping relationship with the terminal to be located. Location information of the terminal. Because the mapping relationship pre-stored in this embodiment includes the correspondence between the network identifier and the location information, the positioning method in this embodiment only needs to determine the location information of the to-be-located terminal according to the received network identifier. . Therefore, as in the prior art, the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located belongs to the private wireless network (or the geographic location information corresponding to the wireless network is not included in the map service), and the positioning terminal cannot be positioned or forced. Inaccurate positioning caused by base station positioning.

In a second embodiment of the present invention, referring to Fig. 2, prior to step 101 above, the method further includes step 101'.

Step 101': Establish a mapping relationship of the terminal to be located.

In this embodiment, the mapping relationship between the to-be-located terminal is established in advance, so that the server can obtain the location information corresponding to the received network identifier according to the mapping relationship, and implement positioning on the to-be-located terminal.

In the third embodiment of the present invention, a specific implementation of the above step 101' is given. Referring to FIG. 3, the step 101' of establishing the mapping relationship of the to-be-located terminal specifically includes the following sub-steps a-b.

Step a: receiving the location report information sent by the preset mobile terminal, where the location report information includes: a network identifier and location information of the wireless network accessed by the preset mobile terminal;

Step b: Establish a mapping relationship between the terminal to be located according to the location report information, where the preset mobile terminal is a mobile terminal having a preset binding relationship with the terminal to be located. end.

In this embodiment, specific steps of establishing a mapping relationship of the terminal to be located are given. In order to enable the server to obtain the location information corresponding to the received network identifier according to the mapping relationship, the embodiment uses the location sent by the mobile terminal that has a binding relationship with the to-be-located terminal when establishing the mapping relationship. Report the information. This is because the wireless network information that can be detected by the mobile terminal and the terminal to be located that are in a binding relationship with the terminal to be located is substantially consistent or overlapped. If the parents and children frequently go in and out of the situation, there is basically the same or overlapping, so the wireless network that the parent uses the mobile terminal (such as a mobile phone) can detect the wireless network and the smart network that the child uses (such as a smart watch) can detect the wireless network.

Of course, the mapping relationship of the to-be-located terminal may be manually established according to the network identifier that the smart terminal may detect, and then the established mapping relationship is stored in the server.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the wireless connection information further includes: a wireless signal strength corresponding to the network identifier;

And if the wireless connection information includes a plurality of network identifiers, the step 103 is performed by searching, according to the received network identifier, the location information corresponding to the received network identifier, and the method includes:

Selecting a current network identifier corresponding to the maximum wireless signal strength from the wireless connection information, searching in the mapping relationship according to the current network identifier, and obtaining location information corresponding to the current network identifier as the location information corresponding to the received network identifier. .

In this embodiment, when the wireless connection information includes multiple network identifiers, the server may select a current network identifier corresponding to the maximum wireless signal strength from the wireless connection information, and the mapping relationship according to the current network identifier. The search is performed to obtain the location information corresponding to the current network identifier as the location information corresponding to the received network identifier, so that the obtained location information is relatively accurate.

In a fifth embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4, after the above step 103, the method further includes step 104.

Step 104: Send the current location information of the to-be-located terminal to the preset mobile terminal, where the preset mobile terminal is a mobile terminal that has a preset binding relationship with the to-be-located terminal.

In this embodiment, in order to enable a mobile terminal (such as a parent's mobile phone) having a preset binding relationship with the terminal to be located (such as a smart watch worn by a child) to know the location information of the terminal to be located in time, After obtaining the current location information of the terminal to be located, the current location information of the to-be-located terminal may also be sent to the mobile terminal.

A sixth embodiment of the present invention provides another wireless network-based positioning method. Referring to FIG. 5, the method includes the following steps:

Step 201: The terminal to be located sends, to the server, wireless connection information including a network identifier of the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located and a hardware identifier of the terminal to be located, so that the server acquires the information according to the hardware identifier. The mapping relationship between the terminal to be located and the location information corresponding to the network identifier are searched for in the mapping relationship according to the network identifier, as the current location information of the terminal to be located.

In this step, the network identifier of the wireless network may be a WIFI name, a MAC address of a wireless network, or other identifier that may represent a wireless network. The mapping relationship includes a correspondence between the network identifier and the location information.

In this embodiment, the terminal to be located may send, to the server, wireless connection information including a network identifier of the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located and a hardware identifier of the terminal to be located, so that the server is configured according to the server. The hardware identifier acquires the mapping relationship of the terminal to be located, and searches for and obtains location information corresponding to the network identifier in the mapping relationship according to the network identifier, as the current location information of the terminal to be located.

For example, the to-be-located terminal sends the wireless connection information to the server when the positioning is performed, where the wireless connection information includes the network identifier of the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located and the to-be-positioned The hardware identification of the terminal. Assume that the hardware identifier of the terminal to be located is “100FT0908”, and the terminal to be located detects that the network identifier of the wireless network is the MAC address “002421F2C984”. After receiving the wireless connection information, the server searches for the mapping relationship corresponding to the hardware identifier "100FT0908", and assumes that the mapping relationship obtained by the search is as shown in Table 2 below. The server searches for and obtains the location information "neighbors" corresponding to the MAC address "002421F2C984" in the mapping relationship shown in Table 2 below, as the current location information of the terminal to be located.

Table 2

002421F2D984	unit
002421F2C984	Neighbors
002421F2C990	Playground next to home

It can be seen from this step that the location information of the neighboring home is detected by the terminal to be located, and the location information corresponding to the wireless network is not included in the map service (the location information corresponding to the general home network is rarely included in the map service) Therefore, if the positioning method according to the prior art is used, the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located cannot be located, and according to the rules set by the server, the second terminal can only be used to locate or abandon the smart terminal. Secondary positioning. The location of the base station is generally inaccurate and cannot obtain accurate positioning results. The mapping relationship corresponding to the to-be-located terminal in the embodiment includes the network identifier commonly used by the to-be-located terminal and the location information corresponding to the commonly used network identifier, so the to-be-identified can be determined according to the received network identifier. Location information of the terminal. The positioning method described in this embodiment can not only achieve positioning, but also obtain accurate positioning results.

In the seventh embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 6, before the above step 201, the method further includes step 199 and step 200.

Step 199: The terminal to be located performs wireless network detection when each preset positioning period arrives.

In this step, assuming that the preset positioning period is half an hour, the terminal to be located performs wireless network detection every half an hour.

Step 200: Determine whether a wireless network is detected, and if yes, perform step 201 above.

In this embodiment, the to-be-located terminal performs wireless network detection when each preset positioning period arrives, and if the wireless network is detected, sends a network identifier including the wireless network detected by the to-be-located terminal to the server, and the The wireless connection information of the hardware identifier of the terminal to be located, so that the server acquires the mapping relationship of the terminal to be located according to the hardware identifier, and searches for and obtains the network identifier in the mapping relationship according to the network identifier. Corresponding location information, as current location information of the terminal to be located

Certainly, the to-be-positioned terminal may also perform wireless network detection when the user triggers, and send wireless connection information to the server when the wireless network is detected. For example, the user of the terminal to be located presses a preset positioning key, and the terminal to be located starts wireless network detection, and if the wireless network is detected, sends the wireless connection information to the server.

In the eighth embodiment of the present invention, a specific positioning situation is when the terminal to be located detects multiple wireless networks. Specifically, if the terminal to be located detects multiple wireless networks, the terminal to be located is The server sends the network identifier of the wireless network detected by the terminal to be located, the wireless signal strength corresponding to each network identifier, and the wireless connection information of the hardware identifier of the terminal to be located.

After receiving the wireless connection information, the server selects a current network identifier corresponding to the maximum wireless signal strength from the wireless connection information, and searches for a mapping relationship corresponding to the to-be-located terminal according to the current network identifier to obtain The location information corresponding to the current network identifier is used as the location information of the terminal to be located.

In this embodiment, when the to-be-located terminal detects multiple wireless networks, the detected network identifier of the wireless network and the wireless signal strength corresponding to each network identifier are sent to the server, so that the server according to the maximum wireless signal strength.
