Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication field, particularly relate to a kind of small-sized location tracking apparatus and method for tracing.
Background technology
In daily life, the safety problem of old man and children more and more causes the attention of people, and when especially going out, grasping the position of old man and children in real time, is the basic demand of each ward.When people are with pet to go out, also there is the demand understanding pet position in real time.
Along with the release etc. of the development of mobile Internet, technological progress and high-performance low-power-consumption process chip, the wearable device, the tracing equipment that meet above demand become product from conversions concepts, and more and more receive the concern of people.
Existing technology mainly contains following two kinds: one is satellite-based location, and a kind of is location based on mobile public network base station.Satellite-based locate mode utilizes the GPS/ Big Dipper locating module on equipment to determine position, then the positional information of oneself sent to nurse terminal; Location based on mobile public network base station utilizes the measuring and calculating distance of the spacing of multiple base station and equipment to determine device location, then by background server, positional information sent to nurse terminal.The general volume of tracker for being located by nurse side is all smaller, so can not configure jumbo battery, this just causes the stand-by time of tracker short, and charging is frequent, uses loaded down with trivial details.The equipment of above-mentioned two kinds of modes is adopted all to there is the problem that power consumption is large, cruising time is short.
In order to solve power saving, everybody reports to the police and the method for the change reporting frequency by delimiting appointed area now, but the energy-conservation prerequisite of these two kinds of methods is reduction of the effect of location tracking, and energy-saving effect not obvious.
Chinese patent literature " CN 202978933 U " discloses a kind of follow-up mechanism based on bluetooth and anti-lose system, and follow-up mechanism uses Blue-tooth communication method, low in energy consumption, but the program only works in certain area, exceed the zone of action, can only report to the police, can not determine where tracked side is in.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the defect of prior art, ensureing implementing monitoring in public network coverage, realizing the energy-conservation of tracker simultaneously, proposing the present invention.
For realizing above object, the technical solution used in the present invention is: a kind of tracker comprising close range wireless communication module, comprise battery, controller, the satellite positioning module be connected with controller, network communication module, further, the acceleration sensor module be connected with controller and proximity communication module is also comprised.
A kind of method for tracing, realize based on the smart mobile phone under above-mentioned tracker, mobile public network and this mobile public network, the method comprises the following steps:
Acceleration sensor module opened by A, tracker, and tracker and smart mobile phone open close range wireless communication module, and mate intercommunication;
The timing of B, tracker judges whether acceleration transducer has motor message, if there is signal, performs step D, otherwise, perform step C;
C, tracker judge whether satellite positioning module or network communication module are opened, if opened, close satellite positioning module and network communication module, forward step B to;
D, tracker judge whether proximity communication module receives the signal of smart mobile phone, if received, forward step C to, if do not received, perform step e;
E, tracker judge whether locating module or network communication module are opened, if do not opened, open satellite positioning module and network communication module, perform step F, if opened, perform step F;
F, when receive effective location information and network communication module working properly after, tracker send positional information, then forward step B to.
In real life, consider following situation:
1, be in by nurse side or rest on a certain position for a long time time, ward knows that, by the position of nurse side, now tracker need not send positional information.
Ward is just needed to understand its positional information when 2, being gone out by nurse side.When being gone out by nurse side, if there is ward to accompany, and be in the visual line of sight of ward, tracker also need not send positional information.
Tracker sends positional information needs satellite positioning module and network communication module to work simultaneously, stops sending the power consumption that positional information can reduce tracker greatly, reaches energy-conservation object.
In order to achieve the above object, the application have employed following technological means:
1, acceleration transducer is used to judge whether children under guardianship are in mobile status.
2, " horizon communication " technology is used to judge by the side of nurse whether in the visual line of sight of ward.Here " horizon communication " is not traditional concept.Traditional " horizon communication ", if be do not block between two communicators just can communicate, this refers to " visual range ", namely wireless near field communication.
Current use more widely low coverage wireless communication technology is bluetooth (Bluetooth), WLAN (wireless local area network) 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and infrared data transmission (IrDA).Need to use smart mobile phone owing to realizing tracking, and bluetooth and Wi-Fi are the standard configurations of most of smart mobile phone, therefore use this two technological means here.The communication distance of new bluetooth communication can reach 30-40 rice, and the communication distance of civilian Wi-Fi is about 30 meters, is all the scope that sight line can reach, and can not apart from too far away.
Adopt the technical scheme of the application, when by nurse side and nurse side's hypertelorism, tracker search is less than the close-range communication signal of ward's mobile phone, tracker opens satellite positioning module and network communication module, start to report by the positional information of nurse side and other data, this mode of operation we be called " tracking pattern ".When being gone home by nurse side or do not move for a long time, acceleration transducer makes tracker be in holding state automatically, and close location and communication module, we are called " still-mode " for this.When mobile by nurse side, during the close-range communication signal that the smart mobile phone that tracker searches ward sends, close location and communication module, the wireless signal of a timing receipt smart mobile phone, we become " short-range communication pattern " for this.By the mutual conversion between three, realize the object that localization tracker reduces power consumption.
Under " short-range communication pattern ", the power consumption of tracker is no more than 1/10th under " tracking pattern ".Through experiment, adopt the method, the stand-by time of tracker can increase by 4 to 5 times, effectively reduces number of times battery being carried out to charge maintenance, easy to use.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention will be further described.
Referring to Fig. 1, tracker comprises battery, controller, the satellite positioning module be connected with controller, network communication module, acceleration sensor module and proximity communication module, wherein proximity communication module can select bluetooth communication or Wi-Fi communication module; When selecting Wi-Fi module, due to tracker not or have little input function, therefore title and the password of focus cannot be inputted when selecting Wi-Fi Hotspot, here solution hotspot name is prestored in tracker controller, the title prestored is printed on specification or tracker.Wi-Fi between tracker and smart mobile phone can not carry out exchanges data, as long as tracker receives the Wi-Fi signal of smart mobile phone, therefore, do not need the password of focus, further, if need password also can to prestore in tracker a password being printed on specification or tracker.When selecting bluetooth communication, intercommunication needs title and the password of equipment, and also adopt in tracker the mode of prestore device name and password here, smart mobile phone is according to the curriculum offering prestored.Tracker also comprises two buttons being connected to controller, for arranging the time interval of tracker work.
The method for tracing described in the present invention realizes based on the tracker proposed in the present invention, mobile public network and the smart mobile phone under being operated in mobile public network.Traditional trace mode is that the longitude and latitude data received are sent to server by number biography modes such as GPRS by position signalling by tracker equipment, and longitude and latitude, through process, is converted to intelligible information of place names and sends to monitoring side by server.In this method, if adopt " tracking pattern ", implementation procedure is also said method, in the specification and claims said process is sent positional information referred to as tracker.
Referring to Fig. 2, for realizing the energy-conservation object of tracker, first acceleration sensor module opened by tracker, opens the close range wireless communication module of tracker and smart mobile phone, and mates intercommunication.Matching process is as follows:
If adopt Wi-Fi communication module, then smart mobile phone is set to Wi-Fi Hotspot, the title of focus is set to the hotspot name stored in tracker controller, also the password of focus will be arranged the password stored in tracker controller if desired.After being provided with, if tracker and smart mobile phone distance are enough closely, tracker can receive the Wi-Fi signal of smart mobile phone.
If employing bluetooth communication, intercommunication needs title and the password of equipment, and also adopt in tracker the mode of prestore device name and password here, smart mobile phone is according to the curriculum offering prestored.
After being provided with, if tracker and smart mobile phone distance are enough closely, tracker can receive the Bluetooth signal of smart mobile phone.
Above-mentioned setting, can use the APP of mobile phone to complete, to alleviate the operation easier of user.The application of mobile phone A PP is very universal, no longer describes here.Equipment only need be arranged once, and smart mobile phone can preserve parameter, need not carry out above-mentioned setting again in use thereafter.
After being provided with, tracker starts following work:
The timing of step B, tracker judges whether acceleration transducer has motor message, if there is signal, illustrates and to be moved by nurse side, otherwise, illustrate and to be remained static by nurse side.
If nurse side remains static, illustrate that both sides are in visual range or had sent positional information before this, now other parts of tracker need not work, and therefore, judge whether satellite positioning module or network communication module are in opening.Because two modules work simultaneously, therefore only detect the operating state of a module.If be in opening, owing to not needing to send positional information in this case, close two modules, tracker is in " still-mode ".Then step B is forwarded to.
If moved by nurse side, tracker is judging whether Wi-Fi module or bluetooth module receive the signal of smart mobile phone.Owing to there being the restriction of network hotspot/implementor name, can ensure that tracker only checks the signal of cooperative smart mobile phone.
If received, illustrate that both sides are in visual range, tracker is in " short-range communication pattern ", judge whether satellite positioning module or network communication module are in opening, if be in opening, owing to not needing to send positional information in this case, close two modules, then forward step B to.
If do not received, illustrate by nurse side and nurse side distant, need tracker to send positional information.At this moment check whether satellite positioning module or network communication module are in opening, if the closed condition of being in, open two modules.Because satellite positioning module and network communication module are from being opened to normal need of work certain hour, therefore to receive effective information in satellite positioning module and could positional information be sent after network communication module access network.After being sent completely, forward step B to.
Tracing module repeats the process from step B every a period of time, and the time interval is 1 minute, has both often crossed 1 minute tracker and has checked acceleration transducer signals, checks Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signal etc.
More flexible in order to use, can by two button adjustment above-mentioned time intervals during use.In two the button corresponding increase time interval and minimizing time intervals respectively, often by once, can increase or reduce, as 30 seconds.The minimum time interval is 30 seconds, is 10 minutes to the maximum.
Adopt such scheme, if be in by nurse side, acceleration transducer does not have triggering signal, and tracker action is little; Ward and when together being gone out by nurse side, if distance is very near, the proximity communication module on tracker can communicate with the proximity communication module on smart mobile phone, and tracker need not accept satellite positioning signal, and network communication module does not also work; When being in a place by nurse side for a long time and being motionless, acceleration transducer does not have triggering signal, because ward knows that tracker is without upload location information by the rearmost position of nurse side; Only have and be in relative motion state by nurse side and ward, distance between the two exceedes " sighting distance " scope, and when being had mobile by nurse side, tracker just starts satellite positioning module and network transmission module, upload location information.
Be not difficult to find out, a smart mobile phone can be nursed multiple tracker simultaneously.
