Detailed ways

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of this application.

The Internet of Things is a network concept that extends and expands its client to any item and item for information exchange and communication on the basis of the concept of the Internet. With the development of IoT technology, some scenarios can be configured in the IoT system. For the configuration scenario, multiple controlled devices may be involved, and the multiple controlled devices have a certain linkage relationship and can work together. Wherein, the controlled device may include one or more of devices such as wireless earphones, TVs, air conditioners, projectors, smart lights, smart sockets, air purifiers, and smart speakers.

In some scenarios, the distance between two devices needs to be calculated, so that subsequent applications can be performed based on the calculated distance. However, the inventors found that there is still a problem that the accuracy of the related method of obtaining the distance between devices needs to be improved. For example, in a related manner, the measuring device may calculate the distance between the device under test and the measuring device in combination with the received signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by the device under test.

However, when the measuring device calculates the distance to different devices under test in combination with the received signal strength of the broadcast signal, the calculation method adopted is the same. Wherein, the same manner may include that the adopted distance calculation formulas are the same, or the parameters involved in the distance calculation formulas are the same. However, the inventor found in the research that different devices under test have different shapes or structures, so the transmitted broadcast signal has different attenuation degrees due to the different shapes or structures. This will cause even if two devices under test with different shapes or structures are actually at the same distance from the test device, but because the transmitted broadcast signal is attenuated by its own shape or structure, the measurement device will calculate the distance to the test device. The two devices will be at different distances from themselves.

Therefore, the inventor proposes a method, device, electronic device and readable storage medium for measuring device distance in the present application. In the process of calculating the distance of the device, the first electronic device (measuring device) will obtain the received signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by the second electronic device, and obtain the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device according to the broadcast signal, and then based on the The received signal strength and the distance parameter are used to determine the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device. Therefore, in the process of calculating the distance, the required distance parameter can be obtained in a targeted manner for the device (second electronic device) that needs to perform distance calculation, instead of performing distance calculation for each need. All devices adopt the same distance parameter, which is beneficial to adapt to different devices that need to perform distance calculation in the process of calculating distance, so as to improve the accuracy of distance calculation between devices.

The following firstly introduces the scenarios involved in the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the scene shown in FIG. 1 includes a smart phone 100 , an electronic device 200 , and an electronic device 300 . Wherein, the smart phone 100 can perform data interaction with the electronic device 200 and the electronic device 300 in a wireless communication manner. In the scenario shown in FIG. 1 , the smart phone 100 may be the first electronic device that performs ranging, and the electronic device 200 and the electronic device 300 may be the second electronic devices respectively.

Wherein, in the scenario shown in FIG. 1 , the distance between the measuring device and the device under test is obtained through the interaction between the device for distance measurement and the device under test. Furthermore, the distance between the device under test and other devices can also be measured by the measuring device. For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , in the scenario shown in FIG. 2 , the electronic device 200 performs wireless communication with the smart phone 100 and the electronic device 300 respectively, while the smart phone 100 and the electronic device 300 do not perform wireless communication. Then in the scenario shown in FIG. 2 , the electronic device 200 may transmit the parameters required for calculating the distance to the smart phone 100 , and then the smart phone can calculate the distance between the electronic device 200 and the electronic device 300 .

Among them, there may be multiple ways for the smart phone 100 , the electronic device 200 and the electronic device 300 to perform wireless communication with each other. For example, wireless communication may be performed based on Bluetooth, wireless communication may be performed based on WiFi, and wireless communication may also be performed based on ZigBee.

It should be noted that the smart phone 100 as the measuring device in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is only an exemplary example. In addition to the smart phone 100, the measurement device can also be other devices, for example, a tablet computer, a smart bracelet, a smart watch, and the like.

Various embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to Fig. 3, a method for measuring device distance provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to a first electronic device, and the method includes:

S110: Acquire a broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device.

Wherein, the first electronic device can be understood as a device for performing distance calculation, and the second electronic device is a device for measuring distance. For example, the first electronic device may calculate the distance of the second electronic device from itself.

The second electronic device can transmit broadcast signals after being turned on, and the first electronic device can determine to obtain the broadcast signals transmitted by the second electronic device after receiving the broadcast signals transmitted by the second electronic device.

S120: Determine received signal strength and distance parameters based on the broadcast signal.

After obtaining the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device, the received signal strength of the broadcast signal can be obtained, and then the received signal strength RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) of the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device can be obtained.

Wherein, the distance parameter can be understood as a parameter for determining a rule for calculating the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device.

As one manner, determining a rule for calculating the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device may include determining a target rule from a plurality of rules for calculating the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device. distance. Exemplarily, the rules that can be used to calculate the distance between the first electronic device and the second electronic device include rule p1, rule p2, and rule p3, and each rule needs to use the device whose distance is measured to emit to the first electronic device. The received signal strength of the device's broadcast signal. Then, in the case where the specific rule content of each rule is different, the calculated distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device may be different. The distance parameter corresponding to the electronic device can be used to characterize the corresponding rule when the device is used as a device whose distance is measured. For example, if the rule corresponding to the distance parameter of the second electronic device is the rule p2, then the subsequent first electronic device will calculate the distance based on the rule p2.

As another way, determining the rule for calculating the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device may include taking the distance parameter as a parameter included in the specified rule, and the specified rule is used for calculating the distance between the second electronic device distance from the first electronic device. It should be noted that the specified rule may include multiple parameters and the manner of mutual operation among the multiple parameters. Exemplarily, the formula corresponding to the specified rule may be:

Wherein, d represents the calculated distance value, RSSI represents the received signal strength of the broadcast signal, A represents the reference distance, and B represents the path loss factor. Among them, RSSI, parameter A and parameter B are absolute values corresponding to actual values. For example, the obtained received signal strength RSSI is -50dbm, then when substituted into the above formula, the corresponding value of parameter RSSI is -50 (actual value) Take the absolute value, which is 50. Wherein, the distance parameter may include parameter A and parameter B in the above formula. The parameter A and parameter B corresponding to different electronic devices may be different, then in the subsequent case where the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device needs to be calculated, the parameter corresponding to the second electronic device may be A and parameter B, as parameter A and parameter B in the specified rule.

As yet another way, determining the rule for calculating the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device may include using the distance parameter as the parameter of the initial parameter in the specified rule for calibration, and the specified rule is still used for calculating the second electronic device. The specified rule for the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device, and then calculate the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device based on the specified rule after parameter calibration. Exemplarily, the specifying rule is still the formula shown above. Then the parameter A and parameter B can be understood as initial parameters, that is, the parameter A and parameter B respectively have their own initial values. The initial value of parameter B is adjusted in order to realize the calibration of parameter A and parameter B. For example, if the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device includes "a" and "b", it can be understood as adding a to parameter A in the specified rule, and adding b to parameter B in the specified rule. Among them, "a" and "b" can be positive or negative.

It should be noted that, for different electronic devices, their external forms or internal structures are different. Then for different external forms or internal structures, the attenuation of the transmitted broadcast signal is different. For example, some external forms or internal structures may not attenuate broadcast signals, while some external forms or internal structures may not attenuate broadcast signals. The structure may cause a large attenuation to the broadcast signal, so for different electronic devices, setting the corresponding distance parameters according to its external shape or internal structure will help reduce the accuracy of the external shape or internal structure for the measured distance influences.

In this embodiment of the application, the distance parameter may be a pre-configured parameter. Moreover, the distance parameters correspondingly configured for different electronic devices may be different. Moreover, as shown in the foregoing content, the specific content that the distance parameter can represent can be various, so in the process of configuring the distance parameter, the distance parameter corresponding to the electronic device can be configured according to the content actually represented by the distance parameter.

Take the distance parameter to determine a target rule from multiple rules to calculate the distance between devices as an example. In this case, you can first obtain the actual distance between the measuring device and the device under test (the device whose distance is measured), and then use multiple rules to calculate the measurement based on the received signal strength of the broadcast signal sent by the device under test. The distance between the device and the device under test, the rule corresponding to the calculated distance and the actual distance can be used as the rule corresponding to the device under test, and the distance parameter representing the corresponding rule can be configured as the device under test The corresponding distance parameter.

Exemplarily, the rules for calculating the distance between the measuring device and the device under test include rule p1, rule p2 and rule p3, the actual distance between the measuring device and the device under test is 5 meters, wherein the measuring device obtains After the received signal strength of the broadcast signal transmitted by the device under test, the distance value calculated according to the received signal strength and rule p1 is 4.5 meters, and the distance value calculated according to the received signal strength and rule p2 is 4.8 meters, according to The received signal strength and the distance value calculated by rule p3 are 5.1 meters, and the distance calculated according to rule p3 is the closest to the actual distance, then rule p3 can be used as the rule corresponding to the device under test, and then the characterization rule The distance parameter of p3 is configured as the distance parameter corresponding to the device under test.

Furthermore, it is taken as an example that the distance parameter is a parameter included in the specified rule for calculating the distance between devices. In this way, the rules used to calculate the distance between different devices are all the specified rules. In the process of configuring distance parameters, you can first obtain the actual distance between the measuring device and the device under test, and then obtain the received signal strength of the broadcast signal transmitted by the device under test, and then change the distance between the measuring device and the device under test. The actual distance between devices, and each time the actual distance is changed, the measuring device will obtain the received signal strength of the broadcast signal transmitted by the current device under test, and then obtain multiple sets of actual distances and received signals as shown in the following table Correspondence of signal strength.

ID	actual distance	received signal strength
1	d1	Q1
2	d2	Q2
…	…	…
no	dn	Q

Then, the parameters in the specified rules can be calculated through the correspondence between multiple sets of actual distances and received signal strengths in the above table, and then the calculated parameters can be used as the distance parameters corresponding to the device under test. For example, consider specifying the rule as the following formula:

Then, through the correspondence between multiple sets of actual distances and received signal strengths in the above table, the values of parameter A and parameter B in the specified rule can be calculated as the distance parameters corresponding to the device under test.

In the method in which the distance parameter is a parameter used to modify the initial parameters included in the specified rule, the method of configuring the corresponding distance parameter for each electronic device is the same as the aforementioned distance parameter used to calculate the distance between devices. The method of specifying the parameters included in the rules is the same, that is, the distance parameters corresponding to the electronic device are configured by collecting multiple sets of corresponding relationships between actual distances and received signal strengths, so details are not repeated here.

Then, after the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device is pre-configured in the manner described above, the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device can be read in S120.

As a manner, the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device may be understood as a wireless signal carrying a broadcast data packet. Wherein, the second electronic device may carry its own corresponding distance parameter in the broadcast data packet sent, so that the first electronic device can still obtain the second electronic device even if no wireless connection is established with the second electronic device. The corresponding distance parameter of the electronic device. Wherein, establishing a wireless connection may be understood as a preparatory operation before data transmission. For example, if the first electronic device needs to send video data to the second electronic device, then a wireless connection needs to be established first, and the video data transmission will not start until the wireless connection is completed.

Wherein, the second electronic device can send the broadcast data packet based on the Bluetooth BLE mode or the Wi-Fi Aware mode. Taking the Bluetooth BLE mode as an example, the second electronic device may carry a corresponding distance parameter in a specific field in the broadcast data packet sent in the process of sending the broadcast data packet in the Bluetooth BLE mode. A broadcast packet format as shown in the following table.

In the format of the broadcast data packet shown in the above table, the field named Length is used to represent the length of the broadcast data packet, the field named Type represents the connection type of the current data packet, and the field named MFG ID represents the sending of the broadcast data packet The ID of the manufacturer of the Bluetooth module, the field named iBeacon indicates that the current broadcast data packet is generated based on iBeacon mode, the field named MD5 represents the MD5-based encrypted device identification carried in the broadcast data packet, and the field name is Major , Minor, and Ref are used to carry characteristic values to distinguish different data packets sent by the same device. Then it can be seen that, in the broadcast data packet shown in the above table, the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device can be added at the field of length 16Byte. It should be noted that the data packet format and the name of each field shown in the above table are only exemplary, and the data packet format and field name of the broadcast data sent by the second electronic device can also be changed according to the actual data carried. .

Correspondingly, the first electronic device can also scan the broadcast data packet based on the Bluetooth BLE mode or the Wi-Fi Aware mode, so that after scanning the broadcast data packet sent by the second electronic device, the scanned data packet is sent from the scanned second electronic device. Obtain the distance parameter of the second electronic device from the broadcast data packet. For example, if the first electronic device scans the broadcast data packet in the Bluetooth BLE mode, then after scanning the broadcast data packet sent by the second electronic device in the Bluetooth BLE mode, it can read from the 16Byte broadcast data packet shown in the above table The distance parameter of the second electronic device is parsed out from the length field.

It should be noted that if the second electronic device sends broadcast data in Wi-Fi Aware mode, the second electronic device can also broadcast its own distance parameter in a similar manner, and correspondingly, the mobile terminal can also obtain the distance parameter of the second electronic device in a similar manner. 2. The distance parameter of the electronic device.

S130: Determine a distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device based on the received signal strength and the distance parameter.

Then, after obtaining the received signal strength of the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device and the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device through the aforementioned method, the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device can be obtained. Take the following formula to calculate the distance as an example:

Among them, RSSI represents the received signal strength of the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device, parameter A and parameter B are specifically parameters A and B corresponding to the second electronic device, and the calculated d represents the second electronic device The distance from the first electronic device.

Next, an example is used to introduce the process involved in this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 4 , for the second electronic device, the second electronic device first configures its corresponding distance parameter, and then sends a broadcast data packet carrying the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device during subsequent operation. After obtaining the distance parameter of the second electronic device from the broadcast data packet sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device may use the distance parameter to calculate the distance to the second electronic device. Similarly, for the third electronic device, the third electronic device will configure its corresponding distance parameter first, and then send a broadcast data packet carrying the distance parameter corresponding to the third electronic device during subsequent operation. After the first electronic device obtains the distance parameter of the third electronic device from the broadcast data packet sent by the third electronic device, it may use the distance parameter to calculate the distance to the third electronic device.

This embodiment provides a method for measuring the distance of a device, so that in the process of calculating the distance, in the process of calculating the distance, the required distance parameter can be targeted for the device (second electronic device) that needs to perform distance calculation. Obtaining, instead of using the same distance parameter for each device that needs to calculate the distance, it is beneficial to adapt to different devices that need to calculate the distance in the process of calculating the distance, so as to improve the accuracy of the distance calculation between devices sex.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the distance parameter corresponding to the device (second electronic device) that requires distance measurement will first be added to the broadcast signal sent by the second electronic device, so that the first electronic device In the process of obtaining the received signal strength of the broadcast signal transmitted by the device, the distance parameter of the second electronic device can be obtained directly from the broadcast signal, so that the first electronic device can simultaneously obtain the The received signal strength and distance parameters improve the convenience for the first electronic device to obtain the received signal strength and distance parameters.

For specific implementation manners of steps in this embodiment that are the same as those in other embodiments, reference may be made to the descriptions in other embodiments, and details will not be repeated in this embodiment.

In the method for measuring the distance of a device provided in this embodiment, in the process of calculating the distance of the device, the received signal strength and distance parameters corresponding to the second electronic device are obtained according to the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device, and then based on The received signal strength and the distance parameter determine the distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device. Therefore, in the process of calculating the distance, the required distance parameter can be obtained in a targeted manner for the device (second electronic device) that needs to perform distance calculation, instead of performing distance calculation for each need. All devices adopt the same distance parameter, which is beneficial to adapt to different devices that need to perform distance calculation in the process of calculating distance, so as to improve the accuracy of distance calculation between devices.

Please refer to Fig. 5, a method for measuring device distance provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to a first electronic device, and the method includes:

S310: Acquire a broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device.

S320: Based on the broadcast signal, determine received signal strength and an identifier of the second electronic device.

Wherein, the identification is information for distinguishing the second electronic device from other electronic devices for uniqueness. In the embodiment of the present application, there may be multiple ways to implement the identification of the electronic device. For example, the name of the electronic device may be used as the identifier of the electronic device, and the physical address of the electronic device may also be used as the identifier of the electronic device.

As a manner, the first electronic device may obtain the identifier of the second electronic device from a broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device. In this manner, the identifier of the second electronic device will be directly added to the broadcast signal transmitted by the second electronic device.

As another manner, the first electronic device may determine the identifier of the second electronic device according to the composition format of the data sent by the second electronic device. It should be noted that, in the process of sending data to another device through a broadcast signal, an electronic device may generate data to be sent through a specified protocol, and the protocol defines a composition format of the generated data. Correspondingly, after receiving the data sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device can determine the identifier corresponding to the second electronic device by identifying the composition format of the data. Optionally, the corresponding relationship between the composition format and the identification can be established in advance, then after obtaining the composition format of the data sent by the second electronic device, the identification of the second electronic device can be obtained according to the correspondence between the composition format and the identification .

S330: Determine a distance parameter corresponding to the identifier of the second electronic device according to the pre-established correspondence between the identifier and the distance parameter.

Wherein, the corresponding relationship between the identifier and the distance parameter in this embodiment may be established during the process of configuring the distance parameter corresponding to the device under test in the foregoing embodiment. Exemplarily, the corresponding relationship can be stored in the form of the following data table.

ID	logo	distance parameter
1	Logo 1	distance parameter 1
2	Logo 2	distance parameter 2
3	Logo 3	Distance parameter 3
4	Logo 4	Distance parameter 4

As shown in the above table, the mark 1 corresponds to the distance parameter 1, the mark 2 corresponds to the distance parameter 2, the mark 3 corresponds to the distance parameter 3, and the mark 4 corresponds to the distance parameter 4. Then, if the acquired identifier of the second electronic device is the identifier 1, then the distance parameter 1 corresponding to the identifier 1 may be used as the distance parameter to the second electronic device pair. If the acquired identifier of the second electronic device is the identifier 3, then the distance parameter 3 corresponding to the identifier 3 may be used as a distance parameter to the second electronic device pair.

As a manner, after the correspondence relationship is established, it may be stored in the first electronic device before the first electronic device leaves the factory. Then in this way, after obtaining the identifier of the second electronic device, the first electronic device can obtain the distance parameter corresponding to the identifier of the second electronic device by searching locally. As another way, the corresponding relationship can be stored in the cloud server after being suggested, then the first electronic device can send the identification of the second electronic device to the cloud server after obtaining the identification of the second electronic device The query instruction, and then make the cloud server query the distance parameter corresponding to the identifier of the second electronic device in response to the query instruction, and return the query distance parameter to the first electronic device.

In addition, in the way that the correspondence between the identification and the distance parameter is stored in the first electronic device before the first electronic device leaves the factory, the correspondence between the identification and the distance parameter can also be stored in the cloud server synchronously, and can also Periodically update the corresponding relationship stored in the cloud server. And, after the cloud server finishes updating the corresponding relationship, it can also push the updated corresponding relationship to the first electronic device.

S340: Determine a distance between the second electronic device and the first electronic device based on the received signal strength and the distance parameter.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, there are many ways to acquire the distance parameter. For example, one way is to get the distance parameter from the broadcast data packet sent by the second electronic device, and the other way is to get the distance parameter based on the The corresponding relationship between the established identification and the distance parameter is obtained to obtain the distance parameter. In this embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device may determine which method to use to obtain the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device according to the current actual environment.

As a method, the first electronic device may first detect whether the corresponding relationship between the distance parameter and the identifier has been stored in the local or cloud server, and if it detects that the corresponding relationship between the distance parameter and the identifier has been stored in the local or cloud server, then In the process of obtaining the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device, the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device is directly obtained according to the correspondence between the distance parameter and the identifier stored in the local or cloud server. Moreover, if it is determined that the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device is obtained according to the corresponding relationship stored in the local or cloud server, the first electronic device will not perform the extraction from the broadcast data packet sent by the second electronic device. The operation of the distance parameter in order to save resources of the first electronic device. Correspondingly, if it is detected that there is no correspondence between the distance parameter and the identifier stored in the local or cloud server, then the first electronic device can analyze the broadcast data packet sent by the second electronic device during the process of obtaining the distance parameter In order to get the distance parameter from it.

Wherein, the first electronic device may detect whether there is a corresponding relationship stored locally or in a cloud service in multiple stages. As a manner, the first electronic device may start to detect after being turned on, or may start to detect after detecting that a specified application program is started. Wherein, the designated application program may be an application program used to calculate the distance between devices.

As another way, in the process of obtaining the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device, the first electronic device may first obtain the type of the second electronic device, and then determine which method to use according to the type of the second electronic device. A distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device is acquired.

It should be noted that the electronic device can increase its own distance parameter in the broadcast data packet during the process of sending the broadcast data packet by changing the program of the electronic device to generate the broadcast data packet in advance. However, some electronic devices Changes to the procedure for producing broadcast packets may not be supported. Therefore, some electronic devices may not be able to add their own corresponding distance parameters in the broadcast data packet, then the first electronic device can record the type of electronic device that supports adding distance parameters in the broadcast data packet by storing the type list . Then, in the process of obtaining the distance parameter, the first electronic device can first obtain the type of the second electronic device, and then inquire whether the type of the second electronic device is recorded in the type list. If the type of the second electronic device is recorded, Then, the distance parameter corresponding to the second electronic device is obtained from the received broadcast data packet of the second electronic device.
