Description

Method, equipment and system for providing presentation information

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computers, and more particularly, to a technique for providing presence information.

Background

With the popularization of mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers, how to accurately provide the mobile devices of users with the presentation information such as advertisements and news has become a key research and development direction for many enterprises. In the prior art, the position advertisement delivery of the mobile device generally depends on the positioning of geographic position information, and the mode has two problems at present:

1) the longitude of the location is difficult to be accurate and even wrong (the location information is not available or has a large deviation), which causes the error of advertisement delivery.

2) Location-based positioning generally requires that the geographic area of the shot be previously delineated, and that this area be "planar" rather than stereoscopic. In some application scenarios, for example, when the advertiser is a clothing store owner on a floor of a large shopping mall, the advertiser wants to deliver the clothing only when the customer arrives at the floor, which is not satisfied by the conventional method.

Here, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, the number of target information providers corresponding to the one or more wireless access points may be one or more, and the number of target presence information may also be one or more. When there are a plurality of target information providers, the network device 3 may further provide target presence information of at least one of the target information providers to the first user device 1, for example, the network device 3 randomly extracts or prefers a target information provider based on a predetermined rule from the plurality of target information providers, and provides the target presence information of the target information provider to the first user device 1.

In this embodiment, the first user equipment 1 may scan to obtain currently available wireless access points in a state where the wireless local area network is turned on, and here, one or more wireless access points scanned by the first user equipment 1 are sent to corresponding network equipment 3 (for example, a cloud server corresponding to a specific application) through the specific application installed on the first user equipment 1.

For example, referring to fig. 3, it is assumed that A, B represents two shops located at a certain distance from each other in a certain section, shop a has wireless access points such as Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5, and Wa6, shop B has wireless access points such as Wb1, Wb2, Wb3, Wb4, Wb5, and Wb6, and A, B represents a presence information provider, and a user is currently located in the section. If the wireless access points currently scanned by the first user equipment 1 owned by the first user are Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5 and Wb6, the first user equipment 1 sends the wireless access points Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5 and Wb6 to the corresponding network equipment 3, and then the network equipment 3 determines the corresponding target information provider according to the wireless access points Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5 and Wb 6. If the target wireless access point information corresponding to the store a is set to Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 by the administrator, since the target wireless access point information Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 corresponding to the store a is included in the wireless access points Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5, Wb6 (that is, it is satisfied that the one or more wireless access points match the target wireless access point information corresponding to the target information provider), the store a may be determined as the corresponding target information provider. Then, the target presentation information (for example, the advertisement of shop A, the promotion information in shop, etc.) corresponding to shop A is provided to the first user device 1 held by user A. And after receiving the target presentation information, the first user equipment 1 held by the first user presents the target presentation information.

In a preferred embodiment, the matching of the one or more wireless access points with the target wireless access point information corresponding to the target information provider comprises at least any one of: (1) the one or more wireless access points include all wireless access points in the target wireless access point information; (2) the one or more wireless access points comprise at least one wireless access point in the target wireless access point information; (3) the one or more wireless access points include a number of wireless access points in common with the target wireless access point information that equals or exceeds a predetermined number threshold.

For example, assuming that the combination of the wireless access points scanned by the first user equipment 1 held by the user is X, the target wireless access point information corresponding to the store a is set by its manager as Wa1, Wa3, Wa 5. If the one or more wireless access points match the target wireless access point information corresponding to the target information provider in compliance with (1) the one or more wireless access points including all wireless access points in the target wireless access point information, then the combination X of wireless access points must include Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 to match the target wireless access point information corresponding to shop a; if the combination X of wireless access points includes only Wa3, Wa5 and lacks Wa1, the target wireless access point information corresponding to the store a does not match. If the one or more wireless access points match the target wireless access point information corresponding to the target information provider in compliance with (2) the one or more wireless access points include at least one of the target wireless access point information, then the combination X of wireless access points includes at least one of Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 may match the target wireless access point information corresponding to shop a; if the combination X of wireless access points includes Wa3, then the target wireless access point information corresponding to store a is matched. If the matching of the one or more wireless access points with the target wireless access point information corresponding to the target information provider is required to meet (3) that the number of wireless access points included in the one or more wireless access points and the target wireless access point information together is equal to or exceeds a predetermined number threshold, assuming that the predetermined number threshold is set to 2, at least two of the combinations X of the wireless access points including Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 may be matched with the target wireless access point information corresponding to shop a.

Preferably, the second means 302 of the network device 3 determines a plurality of corresponding target information providers according to the one or more wireless access points, wherein the one or more wireless access points match with the target wireless access point information corresponding to each target information provider; the third device 303 of the network device 3 provides target presence information corresponding to at least one target information provider of the plurality of target information providers to the first user device.

For example, zero, one, or more target information providers may be determined by matching the one or more wireless access points with target wireless access point information corresponding to the target information providers. Here, if a plurality of destination information providers are determined by matching, only the destination presence information corresponding to one of the destination information providers may be provided to the first user device, or the destination presence information corresponding to a plurality of destination information providers may be provided to the first user device.

Preferably, the network device 3 also comprises preferred means (not shown in the figures); the preferred device prefers at least one target information provider from the plurality of target information providers according to a preference rule; the third device 303 of the network device 3 provides target presence information corresponding to the at least one target information provider to the first user device.

Here, by setting the preference rule, the plurality of target information providers may be ranked, and then, the target presence information corresponding to the optimal one or more target information providers may be provided to the first user device.

More preferably, the preference rule includes at least any one of:

selecting a target information provider with higher priority information from the plurality of target information providers according to the priority information of the information provider;

preferably providing a target information provider of the plurality of target information providers that provides a wireless access point to which the first user device is currently connected;

and according to the matching degree information of the target wireless access point information corresponding to each target information provider and the one or more wireless access points, selecting the target information provider with higher matching degree information from the plurality of target information providers.

For example, the factors affecting the priority information may include the rank of the information provider, the user rating, etc., and the plurality of target information providers may be prioritized according to the priority information; or, the target information provider of the wireless access point to which the first user equipment is currently connected may be determined as the optimal target information provider; the target information providers may be ranked according to the matching degree information, and target presentation information corresponding to one or more higher target information providers with the highest matching degree information may be provided to the first user equipment.

Preferably, the second means 302 of the network device 3 determines target wireless access point information matching the one or more wireless access points from a plurality of wireless access point information, wherein each wireless access point information corresponds to one information provider; and determining a target information provider corresponding to the target wireless access point information.

For example, referring to fig. 3, it is assumed that the wireless access point information corresponding to a store a is Wa1, Wa3, Wa5, the wireless access point information corresponding to a store B is Wb2, Wb4, Wb6, the wireless access points currently scanned by the first user equipment 1 held by a user a are Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5, Wb6, and the wireless access points Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5, and Wb6 match the wireless access point information Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 corresponding to the store a, thereby determining that a corresponding target information provider is store a.

More preferably, the sixth means 106 of the first user equipment 1 sends one or more wireless access points, which have wireless signal strength equal to or greater than a predetermined signal strength threshold value and are obtained by scanning by the first user equipment 1, to the corresponding network equipment 3; the first device 301 of the network device 3 acquires one or more wireless access points submitted by the first user equipment 1 and the wireless signal strength of each wireless access point; the second means 302 of the network device 3 filters one or more preferred wireless access points from the one or more wireless access points, wherein the wireless signal strength of each preferred wireless access point is equal to or greater than a predetermined wireless signal strength threshold; the second means 302 of the network device 3 determines target wireless access point information matching the one or more preferred wireless access points from the plurality of wireless access point information.

For example, assuming that the wireless signal strength of the wireless access points has three strong, medium and weak levels, and the predetermined signal strength threshold is set as a medium level, only one or more wireless access points with strong or medium wireless signal strength, which are scanned by the first user equipment 1, are transmitted to the corresponding network equipment 3. Assuming that the wireless access points currently scanned by the first user equipment 1 owned by the first user are Wa1, Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5 and Wb6, wherein the wireless signal strength of Wa1 is a weak range, the wireless signal strength of Wa2, Wa5 and Wb6 is a medium range, and the wireless signal strength of Wa3 and Wa4 is a strong range, the first user equipment 1 only transmits the wireless access points Wa2, Wa3, Wa4, Wa5 and Wb6 to the corresponding network equipment 3, and screens out the Wa1 with the wireless signal strength smaller than a predetermined signal strength threshold. The network device 3 may also filter in this way to obtain one or more preferred wireless access points. Then, target wireless access point information matching the one or more preferred wireless access points is determined.

More preferably, the second means 302 of the network device 3 determines target wireless access point information matching the one or more wireless access points from a plurality of wireless access point information, wherein the one or more wireless access points include all working wireless hotspots in the target wireless access point information.

For example, if target wireless access point information corresponding to a store a is set to Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 by its manager, assuming that Wa3 cannot work due to machine failure on a certain day, all working wireless hotspots in the target wireless access point information are Wa1, Wa 5. In this case, it is only necessary to match Wa1 and Wa 5.

More preferably, the second means 302 of the network device 3 determines target wireless access point information matching the one or more wireless access points from the plurality of wireless access point information by comparing the wireless access point information with the one or more wireless access points; wherein the comparing the wireless access point information to the one or more wireless access points comprises: when the one or more wireless access points contain at least one wireless access point in the wireless access point information, checking whether other wireless access points which are not contained in the wireless access point information are in a working state, and if the other wireless access points are in the working state, determining that the wireless access point information is the target wireless access point information.

For example, if target wireless access point information corresponding to a store a is set to Wa1, Wa3, Wa5 by its administrator, it is assumed that wireless access points currently scanned by the first user equipment 1 held by a user a are Wa1, Wa2, Wa4, Wa5, Wb6, because the wireless access points Wa1, Wa2, Wa4, Wa5, Wb6 corresponding to the user a include two wireless access points in the target wireless access point information corresponding to the store a, here, it is checked whether other wireless access points Wa3 not included in the target wireless access point information corresponding to the store a are in an operating state, and if Wa3 is not in the operating state, the target wireless access point information can be determined only by matching with Wa1, Wa 5.

More preferably, the checking whether other wireless access points not included in the wireless access point information in the one or more wireless access points are in an operating state includes: and determining whether the other wireless access points are in a working state or not according to the scanning information of the wireless access points submitted by the user equipment, wherein if the scanning information of the other wireless access points at least exists once within a preset time threshold, the other wireless access points are in the working state, otherwise, the other wireless access points are not in the working state.

For example, as mentioned above, if the wireless access point scanned by the first user equipment 1 held by the user b includes Wa3 in the same time period, it may be determined that Wa3 is in the working state.

Fig. 4 shows a first user equipment 1 and a network device 3 for providing presence information according to yet another embodiment of the present application, wherein the first user equipment 1 includes a ninth device 109 ', a tenth device 110', and an eleventh device 111 ', and the network device 3 includes a first device 301', a second device 302 ', and a third device 303'.

In this embodiment, the target application on the first user equipment 1 is started as a trigger condition for sending the one or more wireless access points to the corresponding network equipment 3. For example, the one or more wireless access points may be sent to the corresponding network device 3 after the user opens the target application, or the one or more wireless access points may be sent to the corresponding network device 3 after the user enters the target application and clicks a specific button. Then, the network device 3 determines a corresponding target information provider through matching, and returns the presence information corresponding to the target information provider to the first user device 1. Then, the target presentation information is presented by the target application. For example, the target presentation information may be pushed to a user as a notification of the target application.
