With the continuous development of communication technology, low-cost, easy-to-use signal transmission equipment for indoor positioning (such as Bluetooth beacon (Beacon) equipment, wireless fidelity (WiFi) equipment, etc.) has been used on a large scale. The signal transmitting device can broadcast the signal to the outside. Mobile devices (such as cell phones) can determine their location based on the received signal strength. The mobile device can implement message push, offline payment, etc. according to its own location. For example, if the mobile device detects less than 5 meters from the digital counter, the mobile device can push the latest digital product introduction and offers to the user.

Usually in an indoor building such as a department store or a supermarket, it is often necessary to provide multiple signal transmitting devices to cover the entire indoor area. In practical applications, when the state of the signal transmitting device is abnormal (such as a signal transmitting device failure or a signal transmitting device is too low), there is a problem in the use of the signal transmitting device. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the signal transmitting device of the abnormal state in time. However, in practice, it is found that the maintenance personnel need to personally inspect and identify whether the state of the signal transmitting device is abnormal.

detailed description

The embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

In the existing practical application, when the signal transmitting device is installed, or when the service configuration changes during the operation of the late signal transmitting device, or when the signal transmitting device needs maintenance, the state of the signal transmitting device needs to be detected. At present, many signal transmitting devices require the inspector to go to the site to personally detect the state of the signal transmitting device (such as detecting whether the signal transmitting device has failed or whether the signal transmitting device is too low). For example, a Bluetooth Beacon device can only detect people to go to the site to check the status of the signal transmitting device one by one, but with the large-scale commercial use of Bluetooth Beacon devices, more and more large venues deploy hundreds of Bluetooth Beacon devices. If you rely on manpower to patrol, check and maintain Bluetooth Beacon equipment, labor costs and time will undoubtedly continue to increase, which may increase the difficulty of post-maintenance of Bluetooth Beacon equipment.

To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method and a terminal for detecting a state of a signal transmitting device for intelligently identifying a state of a signal transmitting device. In order to better understand the state detecting method and terminal of the signal transmitting device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the network architecture of the embodiment of the present invention is first introduced.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a network architecture for state detection of a signal transmitting device provided by the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the network architecture includes a terminal 101, two or more signal transmitting devices 102. FIG. 1 exemplifies a network architecture including a terminal 101 and three signal transmitting devices 102. The terminal 101 can be various types of smart terminals, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a computer, a personal digital assistant (English: Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), and a mobile Internet device (English: Mobile Internet Device, abbreviation: MID), etc., which can receive signals; the signal transmitting device 102 can be a Bluetooth Beacon device, a wireless fidelity (WiFi) device, or the like, which can transmit signals, wherein the signal transmitting device 102 can be two A single device, or more than two device clusters, is not limited here.

It should be noted that, in order to facilitate understanding and better description, in FIG. 1 shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the signal transmitting device 102 is specifically limited to the Bluetooth Beacon device 102, but does not mean that the signal transmitting device 102 cannot The terminal 102 is specifically defined as the mobile phone 102, but the terminal 102 is not limited to other types of terminals. The present invention does not limit this.

In the network architecture diagram for the state detection of the signal transmitting device shown in FIG. 1, the user first downloads the indoor map of the Bluetooth Beacon device 102 to be detected by using the mobile phone 101 (the indoor map includes at least two Bluetooth Beacon devices 102). Pre-stored preset set of Bluetooth Beacon devices on the indoor map), then the user can The mobile phone 101 moves in a room corresponding to the indoor map. During the mobile process, the mobile phone 101 receives signal parameters of at least two Bluetooth Beacon devices 102 in the room, and then the mobile phone 101 can compare the user when the user is in the current position. The signal strength of the signal parameters of the two Bluetooth Beacon devices 102 selects the location of the Bluetooth Beacon device 102 with the strongest signal strength to indicate the current location of the user, and the user can continue to move indoors. The mobile phone 101 can repeat the above comparison process. And save the current location of all collected mobile phones as a first set of locations.

It should be noted that, since the wireless signal strength is inversely proportional to the distance, if the user is close to a Bluetooth Beacon device 102, the signal strength of the Bluetooth Beacon device 102 is increased, if multiple Bluetooth Beacons are deployed within a certain space range. In the case of the device 102, each Bluetooth Beacon device 102 covers a certain area range, and the mobile phone 101 can use this feature to locate the mobile phone. The Bluetooth Beacon device 102 currently receives the maximum signal strength of the user, and then the Bluetooth Beacon device 102 is located near the user. If the mobile phone 101 pre-stores the deployment location of the Bluetooth Beacon device 102, the user location can also be represented by the location of the Bluetooth Beacon device 102. The closer the user location is to which Bluetooth Beacon device 102, the user location can receive the maximum received signal strength. The location of the Bluetooth Beacon device 102 is indicated.

Further, the mobile phone 101 compares the preset location set of the pre-stored Bluetooth Beacon device 102 with the first location set. If the comparison result is in the first location set, a certain Bluetooth beacon device existing in the preset is absent. The Bluetooth Beacon location in the preset location set, then the missing Bluetooth Beacon device 102 may be a problematic Bluetooth Beacon device.

Still further, the handset 101 looks to see if the signal parameters of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device 102 were received during the determination of the first set of locations. If the mobile phone 101 does not receive the signal parameter of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device 102, the mobile phone 101 may determine that the current state of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device is a non-broadcast signal, that is, a signal transmission failure state; if the mobile phone 101 receives The signal parameter of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device 102, but the signal parameter of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device 102 is not the device with the highest signal strength when the user is in the position of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device 102, so the mobile phone 101 can The current state of the missing Bluetooth Beacon device is determined to be a low battery state or a voltage unstable state.

It should be noted that when the Bluetooth Beacon device is in a normal working state, the first location set may match the location information of the preset Bluetooth Beacon device. As shown in FIG. 2a, three Bluetooth Beacon devices are deployed in the room, namely, No. 1 device, No. 2 device, and No. 3 device. The location information of the three Bluetooth Beacon devices is pre-stored on the mobile phone 201 by the mobile phone 201. The mobile phone 201 determines the user location by receiving the signal strengths of the above three Bluetooth Beacon devices.

In the mobile phone 201, in 203, the signal strength of the No. 1 device received at time t1 is -65 dbm, the signal strength of the No. 2 device is -90 dbm, and the signal strength of the No. 3 device is -75 dbm, and the mobile phone 201 can determine the time t1. When the mobile phone 201 receives the Bluetooth Beacon device with the highest signal strength as the No. 1 device, it can further determine that the location where the mobile phone 201 is located at the moment is the location where the No. 1 device is located; the mobile phone 101 continues to move, and receives the information at 204 and t2. The signal strength of the No. 1 device is -75dbm, the signal strength of the No. 2 device is -60dbm, and the signal strength of the No. 3 device is -65dbm. The mobile phone 201 can determine that the mobile phone 201 receives the Bluetooth Beacon with the highest signal strength at time t2. If the device is the No. 2 device, it can be further determined that the location of the mobile phone 201 at the moment is the location of the No. 2 device; the mobile phone 201 at 204, the signal strength of the No. 1 device received at time t3 is -85dbm, No. 2 The signal strength of the device is -90dbm, and the signal strength of the device No.3 is -55dbm. The mobile phone 201 can judge that the Bluetooth Beacon device with the highest signal strength received by the mobile phone 201 at time t2 is the No. 3 device, and then the device can enter Step 101 determines the position of the phone number for the location at the moment in which the device 3 is located.

Therefore, the first location set obtained by the mobile phone 201 can be 1, 2, and 3, which is consistent with the location information of the preset Bluetooth Beacon device, and the mobile phone 201 can determine that the three Bluetooth Beacon devices are in a normal working state.

It should also be noted that when one of the Bluetooth Beacon devices is in a state where there may be a problem, the first location set may not match the location information of the preset Bluetooth Beacon device. As shown in Figure 2b, three Bluetooth Beacon devices are deployed indoors, namely, No. 1 device, No. 2 device, and No. 3 device.

In the mobile phone 301, in 302, the signal strength of the No. 1 device received at time t1 is -65 dbm, the signal strength of the No. 2 device is -90 dbm, and the signal strength of the No. 3 device is -75 dbm, and the mobile phone 301 can determine the time t1. When the mobile phone 301 receives the Bluetooth Beacon device with the highest signal strength as the No. 1 device, it can further determine that the location of the mobile phone 301 is the location where the No. 1 device is located at time t1; the mobile phone 101 continues to move, and receives the received message at time t2 in 303. The signal strength of the No. 1 device is -75dbm, the signal strength of the No. 2 device is -90dbm, and the signal strength of the No. 3 device is -65dbm. The mobile phone 301 can determine that the mobile phone 301 receives the Bluetooth Beacon device with the highest signal strength at time t2. For the No. 3 device, it can be further judged that the location of the mobile phone 101 at the moment is the location of the No. 3 device; the mobile phone 101 is in the 304, and the signal strength of the No. 1 device received at time t3 is -85dbm, the No. 2 device The signal strength is -90dbm, and the signal strength of the No. 3 device is -55dbm. The mobile phone 101 can determine that the Bluetooth Beacon device that receives the highest signal strength at the time t2 is also the No. 3 device, and can enter one. Steps determine that the location of the mobile phone 301 at the moment is the location of the device No. 3.

Therefore, the first location set obtained by the mobile phone 301 is 1, 3, and 3, because the location information of the preset Bluetooth Beacon device, the device location of the device No. 1 and the device location of the device No. 2 have continuity, the user is in the When receiving signal parameters, it is impossible to skip device No. 2. If each Bluetooth Beacon device works normally, the user's positioning position should be 1, 2, 3, but now the user's positioning position is 1, 3, 3, by comparing Beacon. The position coordinates and the terminal positioning position can determine that there may be a problem with the No. 2 device.

In FIG. 2b, since the signal strength of the device No. 2 is received at time t2 in 303, the mobile phone 301 can also determine that the current state of the device No. 2 is a low battery state or a voltage unstable state. Then, the mobile phone 301 can also mark the location of the No. 2 device in combination with the indoor map, and the detecting personnel can clearly know the location of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device and can directly replace it, without relying on human resources and then Bluetooth. The Beacon equipment can be inspected one by one to find out which Bluetooth Beacon equipment is damaged, which saves the time and manpower of the inspectors.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of another network architecture for detecting state of a signal transmitting device provided by the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the network architecture includes a terminal 0301, a server 0302, and two or more signal transmitting devices 0303. The terminal 0301 can be various types of smart terminals, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a computer, a personal digital assistant (English: Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), and a mobile Internet device (English: A terminal that can receive a signal, such as a mobile Internet device (MID); the server 0302 can be a database server or a positioning server, or a terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a wearable device having a server function, and the server 0302 can be used. And storing the preset position and the indoor map of the signal transmitting device 0303, wherein the server 0302 may be a separate server or a server cluster, which is not limited herein; the signal transmitting device 0303 may be a Bluetooth Beacon device. A device that can send a signal, such as a WiFi device, where the signal transmitting device 0303 can be two separate devices, or can be a cluster of two or more devices, and is not limited herein.

It should be noted that, in order to facilitate understanding and better description, in the embodiment shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the letter The number transmitting device 0303 is specifically limited to the Bluetooth Beacon device 0303 in the following description, but does not mean that the signal transmitting device 0303 cannot be other types of signal transmitting devices; the terminal 0301 is specifically limited to the mobile phone 0301 in the following description, but It is not indicated that the terminal 0301 cannot be other types of terminals, and the present invention does not impose any limitation.

In the network architecture diagram for status detection of the signal transmitting device shown in FIG. 3, the mobile phone 0301 receives the signal parameters of at least two Bluetooth Beacon devices 0303, and then moves the signal parameters through a wireless network (eg, WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile). Uploaded to the server 0302, the server 0302 analyzes the signal parameters, and feeds back the result of the analysis (including the location and status of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device) to the mobile phone 0301, so that the tester can Feedback to deal with the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, the server may be interconnected with the mobile phone through the wireless network, and in step 401, the server may pre-store the indoor map of the building and the location database of the Bluetooth Beacon device deployed in the indoor map. In step 402, the mobile phone downloads the corresponding indoor map from the server and saves the mobile phone, and moves in the building corresponding to the indoor map or indoors. In step 403, at least two Bluetooth Beacon devices are moved to the mobile phone. Sending a signal parameter, in step 404, the mobile phone receives signal parameters of the at least two Bluetooth Beacon devices and sends the signal parameters to the server through the wireless network.

In step 405, the server saves the signal parameters reported by the user. In step 406, the server compares the received signal parameters, and selects the Bluetooth Beacon that receives the signal strength at the time of receiving the signal parameter according to the maximum signal strength localization algorithm. The location of the device indicates the location of the mobile phone, and the coordinates of the mobile phone location at each moment are saved as a first set of locations.

In step 407, if the server finds that there is a Bluetooth Beacon location in the preset location set of the preset Bluetooth Beacon device in the first location set, the missing Bluetooth Beacon device may be in question. Bluetooth Beacon device. Further, the server may further find whether the signal parameter of the Bluetooth Beacon device that has the problem is received in the process of determining the first location set. If the server does not receive the signal parameter of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device, the server may also determine that the current state of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device is a non-broadcast signal, that is, a signal transmission failure state; if the server receives The signal parameter of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device, the server can determine that the current state of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device is a low battery state or a voltage unstable state.

In step 408, the server may also return the location information of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device on the indoor map to the mobile phone, and output the specific status of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device, so that the inspection personnel can view and go to the maintenance. . Alternatively, the server may directly display the location information and the specific status of the problematic Bluetooth Beacon device on the indoor map on the server. When the maintenance personnel go to view the server, the Bluetooth Beacon may be directly known. The location information and specific status of the device on the indoor map.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting a state of a signal transmitting device provided on the basis of the network architecture diagram shown in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The detection method of the signal transmitting device shown in FIG. 5 includes the following steps:

S501. The terminal receives signal parameters of at least two signal transmitting devices.

Optionally, before receiving the signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices, the terminal may download an indoor map corresponding to the indoor location of the at least two signal transmitting devices from a server or a cloud or the like in advance, where the indoor map is The preset position information of the at least two signal transmitting devices is marked.

The signal transmitting device can broadcast its own signal parameter to the terminal in the signal range. The signal parameter has a certain difference in signal parameters of each signal transmitting device due to limitation of range and distance, and the terminal can receive the at least two signals by receiving the signal. The signal parameters of the transmitting device are used to detect the state of the signal transmitting device.

Optionally, the terminal receives signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices, which may be received for one cycle. During the period of this reception, if there are 3 or more signal transmitting devices broadcasting their own signal parameters, for a signal transmitting device at the edge of the period, the terminal may not accurately determine the signal transmission at the edge of the period. The state of the device, the terminal can detect the signal transmitting device at the edge of the cycle in combination with the next cycle.

Optionally, the signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices may include a signal strength, an identifier of the signal transmitting device, and location information of the signal transmitting device, and the like, which is not limited herein.

S502. The terminal determines a first location set according to the signal parameter.

The first set of locations includes at least two location information.

Optionally, the signal parameter includes a signal strength, and the specific implementation manner of the terminal determining the first location set according to the signal parameter may be: the terminal selects a target signal parameter from the received signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices, where the target signal parameter is a signal parameter having the highest signal strength among the signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices; the terminal determining the position information of the signal transmitting device corresponding to the target signal parameter as the position information in the first set of positions. That is to say, the terminal can select the location information of the signal transmitting device with the highest signal strength among the at least two signal transmitting devices to represent the location information of the terminal. That is to say, at least two pieces of position information in the first set of positions may actually be position information of the signal transmitting device having the highest signal strength.

For example, if there are 3 signal transmitting devices in the current period, the 3 signal transmitting devices are respectively the No. 1 device, the No. 2 device, and the No. 3 device, then the first location set may be the No. 1 device location. The location of the device No. 3, or the location of the first location may also be the location of the device No. 1, the location of the device No. 2, or the location of the first location may be the location of the device No. 1, the location of the device No. 2, the number 3 The location of the device, etc., of course, may be other situations that include the location of two of the devices, and are not described here.

It should be noted that, if the terminal only determines one location information in the current period, then immediately following the step S503, the terminal may not be able to combine the preset location set of the signal transmitting device to the location information. Performing further analysis, therefore, when the terminal only determines one location information in the current period, the location information can be regarded as invalid location information, but if the terminal is combined with the next cycle to a location of the current time When the information is analyzed, one location information of this time can be regarded as valid location information.

S503. The terminal determines the target signal transmitting device according to the preset location set and the first location set.

It should be noted that the preset location may be a set of location information of the at least two devices on the indoor map.

The target signal transmitting device is a signal transmitting device in which the location information exists in the preset location set and does not exist in the first location set.

For example, if there is a device position No. 1 and a device position No. 3 in the first set of locations, the terminal can transmit the device according to the pre-stored signal according to the coherence of the terminal when receiving the signal parameter broadcast by the signal transmitting device. The location information determines that the preset location set is the No. 1 device location, the No. 2 device location, and the No. 3 device location, due to the 2 The number device does not exist in the first location set, but exists in the preset location set, indicating that the number 2 is the target signal transmitting device.

For example, if there is a device position No. 1 and a device position No. 2 in the first location set, it may be determined that the preset location set is the device location No. 1 due to the consistency of the terminal according to the signal parameters broadcast by the signal transmitting device. The location of the device No. 2 and the location of the device No. 3 may also be that the preset location is set to the device location No. 1 and the device location of the second device. Therefore, the terminal may not accurately determine the target transmitting device during the current period. The terminal can determine the target signal transmitting device in conjunction with the next cycle.

In a specific implementation, if in the next cycle immediately after the current cycle, the terminal determines the device location 4 and the device device 5 in the first location set, then the terminal combines the two cycles to determine The location of the device No. 3 is the target signal transmitting device.

In summary, when the terminal determines the target signal transmitting device according to the preset location set and the first location set, if the determining is performed in the current period, the terminal may determine the preset in combination with the first location set. Whether the signal transmitting device corresponding to the position other than the end position in the location set is the target transmitting device. If the terminal wants to further determine whether the signal transmitting device corresponding to the endpoint position in the preset location set is the target transmitting device, further determination may be made in conjunction with the next cycle.

It should be noted that the terminal may not need to use its own positioning module to accurately locate the terminal. Since the signal transmitting device is deployed indoors in most cases, and the terminal is in some rooms (such as an underground parking lot, etc.), the result of the positioning may have a large error, and the target is determined according to the preset position set and the first position set. The way the signal transmitting device can avoid the problem of large errors in positioning.

In some feasible implementation manners, when the signal transmitting device is located in a room with a better positioning signal (for example, in a shopping mall, etc.), the terminal may also use its own positioning module to determine the preset position. Specifically, the terminal may use one of a Global Positioning System (GPS) mode, a base station positioning mode, or a WiFi positioning mode, or combine multiple positioning methods to determine the current location of the terminal itself, and then follow the indoor map. And determining a positional relationship between a position of the at least two signal transmitting devices and the current position, and determining a location of the signal transmitting device closest to the terminal as a preset position of the terminal. The terminal may determine a plurality of preset positions during the movement, and use the plurality of preset positions as the preset position set of the terminal.

At the same time, the terminal can receive the signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices, and then compare the signal strengths of the signal parameters of the at least two signal transmitting devices when the terminal is in the current preset position, and select the signal with the strongest signal strength. The location of the transmitting device is the first location. If the determined first location is different from the preset location, the terminal may determine that the signal transmitting device corresponding to the preset location is the target signal transmitting device.

For example, the terminal can obtain the current location of the terminal and the location of the No. 1 device by GPS positioning, and the location of the No. 1 device can be used to indicate the current location of the terminal. In theory, the terminal is here. Among the signal parameters received, the signal strength of the No. 1 device should be the strongest. Then, the terminal compares the signal strength of the signal transmitting device received here, and if it is determined that the signal transmitting device with the strongest signal strength is the No. 2 device, it means that the theoretical situation and the actual situation do not match, the No. 1 The device may have a problem, and the terminal can determine that the device No. 1 is the target signal transmitting device.

It should be noted that the terminal uses its own positioning module to determine the preset position, and further determines the target signal transmitting device, and may perform signal transmitting devices corresponding to any preset position in the preset position set. Do A determination is made to determine whether the signal transmitting device corresponding to any of the preset positions is the target transmitting device.

S504. The terminal determines a state of the target signal transmitting device according to the signal parameter.

It should be noted that, after the terminal determines the target signal transmitting device, the state of the target signal transmitting device may be determined by polling the data buffer of all received signal parameters.

The state of the target signal transmitting device may be a fault state, a power shortage state, or other states, which is not limited herein.

Optionally, after the terminal determines the state of the target signal transmitting device, the state of the target signal transmitting device may also be displayed on the terminal display screen, and the location of the target signal transmitting device is marked on the indoor map. In order to facilitate inspection personnel to view and go to maintenance.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal first receives signal parameters of at least two signal transmitting devices, and then determines a first set of positions according to the signal parameters, and determines a target signal transmitting device according to the first set of positions and the preset set of positions. The state of the target signal transmitting device can be manually detected without manual detection. By analyzing the signal parameters of each signal transmitting device, the target signal transmitting device that may have a problem can be intelligently identified, and the target signal transmitting device can be determined at the same time. The specific state simplifies the operation of the inspector.

FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart diagram of another method for detecting a state of a signal transmitting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The detection method of the signal transmitting device shown in FIG. 6 includes the following steps:

S601. The terminal receives signal parameters of at least two signal transmitting devices.

It should be noted that the specific implementation manner of the S601 can refer to the corresponding step S501 in the embodiment of FIG. 5, and details are not described herein.

S602. The terminal selects a target signal parameter from the signal parameters.

The signal parameter includes a signal strength, and the target signal parameter is a signal parameter with the highest signal strength among the signal parameters.

It should be noted that the signal strength is inversely proportional to the distance. In theory, if the terminal is close to a signal transmitting device, the signal strength of the signal transmitting device is increased. If multiple signal transmitting devices are deployed within a certain spatial range, and each signal transmitting device covers a certain area range, we can use this feature to represent the terminal position.

In a specific implementation, the terminal can compare the signal strength of the signal transmitting device received at the current time, and select the signal parameter with the largest signal strength as the target signal parameter.

S603. The terminal determines location information of the signal transmitting device corresponding to the target signal parameter as the location information in the first location set.

It should be noted that the first location set may include at least two location information, where the location information may be a terminal location, and is used to indicate a location of the terminal at a certain moment, where the terminal location may use the signal. The position of the transmitting device is used for representation, and the target signal transmitting device can be more conveniently detected.

It should also be noted that the signal strength of the signal transmitting device received by the terminal at the current time is the highest, and then the signal transmitting device is in the vicinity of the signal transmitting device. Since the terminal pre-stores the preset position of each signal transmitting device, the terminal The position of the signal transmitting device corresponding to the target signal parameter can be used to indicate the terminal position.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, at time t1, the signal strength of the device No. 1 received by the terminal 301 is -65 dbm. The signal strength of the No. 2 device is -90dbm, and the signal strength of the No. 3 device is -75dbm, then the terminal can determine the maximum signal strength of the No. 1 device, and further determine the location information of the No. 1 device as the first location set. Location information.

S604. The terminal determines the target signal transmitting device according to the preset location set and the first location set.

It should be noted that the specific implementation manner of S604 can be referred to the corresponding step S503 in the embodiment of FIG. 5, and details are not described herein.

S605. If the signal parameter of the target signal transmitting device does not exist in the signal parameter, the terminal determines that the target signal transmitting device is in a fault state.

It should be noted that, after determining the target signal transmitting device, the terminal may further determine a specific state of the target signal transmitting device.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may search for a signal parameter of the target signal transmitting device in the signal parameter in the buffer. If the signal parameter broadcast by the target signal transmitting device is not found in the cache, it indicates that the signal transmitting device does not work completely, that is, the signal transmitting device is in a fault state and needs to be directly replaced.

It should be noted that the step S605 and the step S606 are parallel steps, and the step S605 is executed, and the step S606 is not performed, and the step S606 is performed, and the step S605 may not be performed. Therefore, if the terminal finds that the signal parameter of the target signal transmitting device does not exist in the signal parameter, the step S606 is skipped, and the step S607 is performed.

S606. If the signal parameter of the target signal transmitting device exists in the signal parameter, the terminal determines that the target signal transmitting device is in a low battery state.

In a specific implementation, if the terminal finds a signal parameter of the target signal transmitting device in the cache, but the target signal transmitting device does not exist in the first location set, that is, the signal of the target signal transmitting device The intensity is not the signal transmitting device with the highest signal intensity at this moment, indicating that the target signal transmitting device may be unstable due to the battery voltage, that is, the state of the target signal transmitting device is a state of insufficient power.

S607. The terminal outputs a state of the target signal transmitting device, and marks a location of the target signal transmitting device in the indoor map.

In a specific implementation, when determining the state of the target signal transmitting device, the terminal can immediately display on the screen of the terminal, and mark the location of the target signal transmitting device in the indoor map, so as to facilitate the detection personnel to perform immediately View and go to the location of the target signal transmitting equipment for repair or replacement.

Alternatively, the detecting personnel may not have time to process the target signal transmitting device at the current moment, and the terminal may determine the state of the target signal transmitting device and the position of the target signal transmitting device after determining the state of the target signal transmitting device. Save it. When the detecting person wants to query the specific situation of the target signal transmitting device, the terminal displays the state of the target signal transmitting device and the position of the target signal transmitting device on the indoor map on the screen, thereby saving the work of the terminal. It is also convenient for the inspection personnel to check at any time.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal first receives signal parameters of at least two signal transmitting devices, and then selects a target signal parameter with the highest signal strength from the signal parameter, and determines a location of the signal transmitting device corresponding to the target signal parameter. a position in the first location set, and then determining according to the first location set and the preset location set The target signal transmitting device and the specific state of the target signal transmitting device can use the position of the signal transmitting device with the highest signal strength to indicate the position of the terminal, and then combine the position of the signal transmitting device pre-stored by the terminal for comparison, thereby intelligently identifying A target signal transmitting device that may have a problem, and at the same time, can determine the specific state of the target signal transmitting device, without manual manual detection, which simplifies the operation of the detecting personnel.
