Description

Global positioning system positioning processing method and terminal

Technical field

The present disclosure relates to a positioning technology in mobile communication, and in particular, to a global positioning system (GPS) positioning processing method and a terminal.

Background technique

At present, a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone can generally be located by using GPS. A typical GPS positioning process generally includes the following steps: first, the GPS positioning interface provided by the upper application is invoked by the platform, and the GPS positioning interface passes through the GPS protocol stack layer to the GPS chip. After the GPS chip receives the positioning command, it starts to search for the GPS satellite and searches for the GPS satellite that meets the required number. After that, according to the data broadcast by the GPS satellite, the location of the mobile terminal is calculated and the positioning is successful; after the positioning is successful, The GPS chip sends the result of the positioning back to the GPS protocol stack layer, and after processing, forwards it to the upper layer application; the upper layer application further processes according to the positioning result.

Generally, the mobile phone application needs to initiate GPS positioning from the background. The operation of searching for satellites in the GPS positioning process consumes a large amount of power. In order to save the power of the mobile phone, unnecessary GPS positioning operations need to be avoided, for example, when the mobile phone is stationary and there is no user operation, Or when the mobile phone is in a weak signal room, it is necessary to avoid GPS positioning operation as much as possible. For example, when the mobile phone is indoors, the mobile phone application initiates GPS positioning from the background of the mobile phone. However, due to weak indoor signals, a sufficient number of GPS satellites may not be searched when searching for GPS satellites, which may result in positioning failure. Since the current mobile phone application generally only directly calls the GPS positioning interface to obtain its current location, it does not perform special protection processing for the positioning failure, so the background application will repeatedly locate and continuously search for the satellite. The operation, and because of the large power consumption of the search satellite operation, it is obvious that the search satellite operation will consume a large amount of power in the mobile phone battery, and even in a serious case, the power will be exhausted, which affects the normal use of the mobile phone.
