Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations.

Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, presented in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that: like reference numbers and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is an interaction schematic diagram of a radar system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The interaction diagram of the radar system comprises a central station radar and at least one communication terminal; wherein the central station radar is configured to have a sounding mode and a communication mode. When the central station radar is in a detection mode, the working principle of the central station radar is the same as that of the radar in the prior art; in order to make the detection distance longer and the detection direction wider each time, the antenna units in the antenna array of the central station radar will all work at this moment, namely each antenna unit will emit the wireless electromagnetic wave at this moment.

However, when the central station radar is in the communication mode, the central station radar may perform information interaction with one of the at least one communication terminal, that is, the central station radar may transmit information to the communication terminal performing information interaction with the central station radar, and the communication terminal may also transmit information to the central station radar. The interaction process is as follows:

when the central station radar needs to send information to one of the communication terminals, one frequency point in the wave band sent by the central station radar can be selected as a transmitting frequency point; and transmitting the content to be transmitted to one of the communication terminals by using the transmitting frequency point. In order to ensure the anti-interference capability during information transmission, the content to be transmitted can be encoded. Of course, when the communication terminal needs to send information to the central station radar, the sent information can also be encoded, so as to improve the anti-interference capability of the central station radar and the communication terminal in the process of signal interaction. The central station radar forwards the received information to, for example, a command center, and the communication terminal forwards the received information to other terminal devices.

To further understand the interaction process of radar with a communication terminal, the following description is made in a more specific embodiment:

as shown in the interaction diagram of the radar system 100 in fig. 2, it can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, the radar system 100 may include: the

central radar

111 and 10 communication terminals 120, and the communication terminals 120 may be numbered in advance; that is, each communication terminal 120 has an ID number belonging to itself, and when the center radar 111 interacts with the communication terminal 120, the coded information transmitted by the center radar 111 includes ID information of the communication terminal 120. For example, 10 communication terminals 120 are numbered sequentially, and the number may be 1, 2, 3 … … 8, 9, 10 (for example, the parenthesized numeral representation communication terminal 120 in fig. 2 is numbered); if the central radar 111 needs to send a first coded signal (the first coded signal may be information that the central radar 111 needs to send and that the coding is completed) to the number 2 communication terminal 120; at this time, the first encoded signal may include identification information, where the identification information is used to verify whether the communication terminal 120 is the No. 2 communication terminal 120, and if not, the communication terminal 120 cannot acquire the first encoded signal, and if so, the first encoded signal may be acquired. Wherein the identification information may be matched with the ID information of the communication terminal 120; that is, before receiving the first encoded signal, the communication terminal 120 matches its ID information with the identification information in the first encoded signal, and if the matching fails, does not receive the first encoded signal, and if the matching succeeds, receives the first encoded signal.

After receiving the first encoded signal, the communication terminal 120 decodes the first encoded signal to obtain first information sent by the central radar 111, where the first information sent by the central radar 111 may be "send the current location information", "whether a wounded person is present", "whether rescue is needed", and the like; when the terminal device receives the first information sent by the central radar 111, it will automatically generate or receive the corresponding second information. Such as: when the first information is "sending the position information at this time", the communication terminal 120 may automatically generate the second information, encode the second information to obtain a second encoded signal, and send the second encoded signal to the central radar 111. While little time is consumed due to the process of the communication terminal 120 receiving the first encoded signal and transmitting the second encoded signal; and the first coded signal and the second coded signal are both loaded on the electromagnetic wave for transmission, and since the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave in the air is equal to the speed of light, the central radar 111 can determine the distance between the communication terminal 120 and the central radar 111 according to the first time of sending the first coded signal and the second time of receiving the second coded signal. However, the central radar 111 has directivity when transmitting information, that is, the antenna array is directed in the direction in which the central radar 111 transmits information. Such as: when the central radar 111 rotates to a certain direction in the process of rotation and receives the second coded signal, the direction is determined to be the direction of the communication terminal 120, and therefore, the specific position information of the communication terminal 120 can be obtained by combining the determination of the distance between the communication terminal 120 and the central radar 111.

When the first information is information that needs to be input by the user, such as "whether there is a wounded person", "whether rescue is needed", and the like, the communication terminal 120 may acquire the second information input by the user, encode the second information, and generate a second encoded signal.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is another interaction schematic diagram of a radar system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that a user may input second information through a terminal device 130 such as a mobile phone and a computer connected to a communication terminal 120, or may input a second signal through an input device such as a "key" or a "display screen" provided on the communication terminal 120.

Further, when the second information is input through the terminal device 130 such as a mobile phone or a computer, the connection mode between the terminal device 130 and the communication terminal 120 may be: one or more combinations of communication modes such as NFC, bluetooth, WIFI, and WLAN, of course, in some embodiments, a wired connection mode may also be used, and the interconnection between the terminal device 130 and the communication terminal 120 is realized through an RJ45 network interface, so as to realize information transfer. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the connection mode between the terminal device 130 and the communication terminal 120 is not limited as long as the communication terminal 120 can transmit the first information to the terminal device 130, and the terminal device 130 can feed back the second information to the communication terminal 120.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic connection diagram of a communication terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; the communication terminal 120 in the embodiment of the present application may include: processor 122, antenna 124, and battery 126; the battery 126 is connected to both the processor 122 and the antenna 124, and the antenna 124 is connected to the processor 122. The battery 126 is used to provide power to the processor 122 and the omnidirectional antenna 124; the processor 122 is configured to decode and encode, and the antenna 124 is configured to receive the first encoded signal and transmit the second encoded signal. The communication terminal 120 may further include: the wireless communication module 128, the wireless communication module 128 is connected with the storage battery 126 and the processor 122, and the wireless communication module 128 is used for establishing connection with the terminal device 130 so that the communication terminal 120 and the terminal device 130 can perform information interaction.

The processor 122 may be an integrated circuit chip having signal processing capability. Processor 122 may be a general-purpose processor including a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Network Processor (NP), etc.; but may also be a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic device, discrete hardware components.

And the wireless communication module 128 may be: one or more transmission modes such as an NFC transmission module, a bluetooth transmission module, a WIFI transmission module, and a WLAN transmission module are combined with each other, so that the communication terminal 120 can receive the second information and send the first information.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic connection diagram of a radar 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; the radar 110 in the embodiment of the present application may include: a central controller 112, an antenna array 114, a switching assembly 116; the central controller 112 is connected to both the antenna array 114 and the switching element 116; a switching component 116 may be used to switch the radar 110 between the detection mode and the communication mode; when the radar 110 is in the detection mode, the central controller 112 is configured to control the antenna array 114 to emit electromagnetic waves, and the antenna array 114 is further configured to receive the reflected electromagnetic waves. When the radar 110 is in a communication mode, the central controller 112 is configured to control the antenna array 114 to send a first encoded signal to the communication terminal 120, the antenna array 114 is further configured to receive a second encoded signal fed back by the communication terminal 120, the central controller 112 is configured to decode the second encoded signal to obtain second information corresponding to the second encoded signal, and the central controller 112 is further configured to encode the first information to obtain the first encoded signal.

Further, the radar 110 may also include an RJ45 network interface 118 to enable the radar 110 to perform information interaction with the command center 105 (please refer to fig. 3), that is, a first information may be transmitted from the command center 105 to the radar 110, and the radar 110 encodes the first information and transmits the first information to the communication terminal 120, and transmits an obtained second information to the command center 105.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a communication positioning method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; the following is explained with reference to steps S110 to S130 included in fig. 6.

Step S110: sending a first coded signal based on a preset transmitting frequency point; the first coded signal includes identification information, where the identification information is used to instruct a target communication terminal in the at least one communication terminal 120 to receive the first coded signal, and the first coded signal is obtained by coding first information to be sent by the radar 110 to the target communication terminal.

In this embodiment, a frequency point may be optionally selected from the transmission frequency band of the radar 110 as a transmission frequency point, and in order to ensure the anti-interference capability when the first information is transmitted, the first information may be encoded to obtain a first encoded signal. In the embodiment of the application, in order to ensure that the first information can be accurately sent to the target communication terminal, the identification information may be added to the first coded signal, only the target communication terminal can recognize the identification information and will receive the first coded signal, and the other communication terminals cannot recognize the identification information.

Step S120: obtaining a second coding signal fed back by the target communication terminal based on the first coding signal; the second coded signal is obtained after coding second information, and the first information is matched with the second information.

The target communication terminal may decode the first encoded signal to obtain first information, generate corresponding second information according to the content of the first information, and encode the second information to obtain a second encoded signal, so as to further improve the interference resistance of the radar 110 and the communication terminal 120 during information interaction.

In the specific embodiment, in order to ensure that the second information can be accurately received by the radar 110, the identification information may also be set, that is, only the radar 110 matched with the target communication terminal can obtain the second encoded signal, so that the second information can be prevented from being intercepted in the transmission process.

Step S130: and decoding the second coded signal to obtain the second information.

In the embodiment of the present application, the second encoded signal may be decoded in an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and of course, the encoding of the first information may also be completed in the FPGA. It should be noted that the encoding method of the first information and the encoding method of the second information are not limited, and only a mapping relationship is established in advance between the radar 110 and the communication terminal 120, that is, the radar 110 can decode the encoded signal transmitted by the communication terminal 120, and the communication terminal 120 can also decode the encoded signal transmitted by the radar 110.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first encoded signal is sent based on the preset transmitting frequency point, and the second encoded signal fed back by the communication terminal 120 is received, so that information interaction between the radar 110 and the communication terminal 120 is further achieved. And because in the interaction process, the information is coded, the anti-interference capability in the interaction process can be improved.

As a practical manner, when the first information is information for determining a position, after step S120 (obtaining a second coded signal fed back by the target communication terminal based on the first coded signal), the method further includes:

a first time instant of transmitting the first encoded signal and a second time instant of acquiring the second encoded signal are obtained.

And determining the position of the target communication terminal based on the time interval of the first time and the second time and the energy of the second coded signal.

Since the decoding process for the first encoded signal is fast after the target communication terminal receives the first encoded signal, the time is almost negligible. When the first information is information for determining the position, the target communication terminal does not need to obtain the second information from the terminal device 130, that is, the target communication terminal may immediately generate the second information and encode the second information to obtain the second encoded signal. However, the radar 110 has a certain directivity when transmitting the first encoded signal, that is, the radar 110 may divide 360 ° during the 360 ° rotation, for example, into 12 parts, that is, 30 ° each; when radar 110 is transmitting the first encoded signal, the first encoded signal is transmitted once every new incoming share. Such as: the first part is 0-30 degrees, the second part is 30-60 degrees, if the radar 110 points to 0 degree, the radar 110 sends the first coded signal, and when the radar 110 rotates to 30 degrees, the second coded signal is still not received, and the radar 110 sends the first coded signal again. If the radar 110 is pointed at 0-30 degrees, the radar 110 receives the second coded signal, and then a first time point of sending the first coded signal and a second time point of receiving the second coded signal are obtained, and a time interval between the first time point and the second time point is determined. Since the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave in the air is equal to the speed of light, the distance between the communication terminal 120 and the radar 110 can be determined.

The direction of the target terminal can be represented according to the energy of the second coded signal, and the direction represented by the maximum energy of the second coded signal is the direction of the target communication terminal relative to the radar 110, so that the position of the target communication terminal is determined according to the time interval between the first time and the second time and the energy of the second coded signal.

It should be noted that, because the magnitude of the second encoded signal may represent the energy magnitude of the second encoded signal, the direction represented by the maximum magnitude may be determined by using the amplitude-to-angle principle, that is, the position of the target communication terminal may be determined by obtaining the magnitude in the second encoded signal. In the embodiment of the present application, the amplitude in the second encoded signal may be obtained as follows:

modulating the second coded signal to obtain two paths of mutually orthogonal carrier signals; and processing the two paths of mutually orthogonal carrier signals based on a CORDIC algorithm to obtain the maximum amplitude of the second coding signal.

After the maximum amplitude of the second coded signal is obtained, the direction represented by the maximum amplitude can be determined based on the amplitude comparison and angle measurement principle, and then the position of the target communication terminal is determined.

When the first information further includes other information (e.g., "whether the wounded person is present", "whether rescue is needed") or is other information, the second encoded signal needs to be decoded to obtain the second information, which may be obtained by decoding the second encoded signal in the embodiment of the present application as follows:

modulating the second coded signal to obtain two paths of mutually orthogonal carrier signals; processing two paths of mutually orthogonal carrier signals based on a CORDIC algorithm to obtain the phase of the second coding signal; determining a decoding value of the second encoding signal according to the phase difference of two adjacent phases; and decoding the second coded signal according to the decoding value to obtain the second information.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, since the target communication terminal may need to acquire the second information from the terminal device 130 when the first information is information such as "whether there is a wounded person" and "whether there is a need for rescue", and when the target terminal sends the second encoded information, the radar 110 has already turned to another direction, and therefore, it is necessary to wait until the radar 110 turns to this direction again to receive the second encoded information. Therefore, in the specific embodiment, the radar 110 can be reasonably switched between the detection mode and the communication mode based on this, and as an example, the radar 110 is divided into 12 parts in the process of rotating 360 degrees, the first 15 degrees of each part of the radar 110 can be used as the communication mode, and the last 15 degrees can be used as the detection mode, and of course, the first 15 degrees of each part of the radar 110 can be used as the detection mode, and the last 15 degrees can be used as the communication mode. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, how the radar 110 allocates the detection mode and the communication mode is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that each of the detection modes and the communication modes includes a communication mode.

For better understanding of the scheme provided in the present application, how the communication terminal 120 interacts with the radar 110 will be analyzed from the perspective of the communication terminal 120, and this process will be described below with reference to the communication method shown in fig. 7.

Step S210: acquiring a first coded signal sent by the radar 110; the first coded signal includes identification information, where the identification information is used to instruct a target communication terminal in the at least one communication terminal 120 to receive the first coded signal, and the first coded signal is obtained by coding first information to be sent by the radar 110 to the target communication terminal.

Step S220: and judging whether the first coding signal is received or not.

In this embodiment of the application, after the communication terminal 120 acquires the first encoded signal sent by the radar 110, it is determined whether the first encoded signal is sent to itself according to the identification information in the first encoded signal, and if it is determined that the first encoded signal is not sent to itself, the first encoded signal is not decoded or is not received.

If the first encoded signal is determined to be addressed to itself, step S230 is executed: receiving the first encoded signal and sending a second encoded signal to the radar 110 based on the first encoded signal; the second coded signal is obtained after coding second information, and the first information is matched with the second information.

That is, after the target communication terminal receives the first encoded signal, it will send the second encoded signal to the radar 110 based on the content (first information) of the first encoded signal.

In this embodiment, the target communication terminal receives the first encoded signal and sends a second encoded signal to the radar 110 based on the first encoded signal, and specifically includes the following steps:

and obtaining a decoding value of the first coding signal, and decoding the first coding signal by using the decoding value to obtain the first information. And obtaining the second information matched with the first information, coding the second information to obtain the second coded signal, and sending the second coded signal.

In this embodiment of the application, the manner of obtaining the decoded value of the first encoded signal may be the same as the manner of obtaining the decoded value of the second encoded signal, and for simplicity of the description, the manner of obtaining the decoded value of the first encoded signal is not described herein again. The second information obtained by the target communication terminal may be generated by the communication terminal 120 itself, or may be obtained by the communication terminal 120 from the terminal device 130 connected thereto. After the second coded signal is obtained, the second information is coded to obtain a second coded signal, and of course, when the target communication terminal sends the second coded signal, the selected transmitting frequency point may be different from the transmitting frequency point selected by the radar 110 for sending the first coded signal, so that crosstalk generated by the radar 110 in the sending and receiving processes can be avoided.

Optionally, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for switching an operating mode, which is applied to the radar 110, so that the radar 110 is switched between a detection mode and a communication mode. The switching method of the working mode comprises the following steps:

judging whether first coding information exists or not; if the first encoding information exists, judging whether the radar 110 is in the communication mode; if the radar 110 is not in the communication mode, the radar 110 is switched to the communication mode.

In this embodiment of the application, when the radar 110 is in the communication mode, and the communication terminal 120 transmits the second encoded signal, the energy transmitted by the second encoded signal is limited, so that when the radar 110 transmits the first encoded signal, the radar 110 does not need a large electromagnetic wave energy, and thus a part of the antenna 124 units in the antenna 124 array of the radar 110 may be turned off, and only a small number of the antenna 124 units are reserved, for example, only 2 antenna 124 units are reserved in an operating state, but of course, 3 or 4 antenna 124 units may also be reserved in a specific implementation manner, which is not limited herein; only the remaining antenna 124 elements need be able to transmit the first encoded signal to the communication terminal 120. It is thus possible to determine whether radar 110 is currently in a sounding mode or a communication mode based on the number of antenna 124 elements in the array of antennas 124 that are turned on.

Only after the radar 110 receives the first information issued by the command center 105, the radar 110 encodes the first information to obtain a first encoded signal, and since the encoding process consumes almost no time, determining whether the first encoded signal exists can be determining whether the first information issued by the command center 105 is received. That is, after the first information is sent by the central command center 105, the radar 110 monitors the current operation mode of the radar 110, and directly sends the first encoded signal if the radar 110 is currently in the communication mode, and if the radar 110 is currently in the detection mode, the switching component 116 immediately operates to switch the radar 110 from the detection mode to the communication mode and send the first encoded signal.

In the embodiments provided in the present application, it should be understood that the disclosed apparatus and method may be implemented in other ways. The apparatus embodiments described above are merely illustrative, and for example, the flowchart and block diagrams in the figures illustrate the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of apparatus, methods and computer program products according to various embodiments of the present application. It should also be noted that, in some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the block may occur out of the order noted in the figures. For example, two blocks shown in succession may, in fact, be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality involved. It will also be noted that each block of the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustration, and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustration, can be implemented by special purpose hardware-based systems which perform the specified functions or acts. For example, the switching component in the central radar can also realize the switching of the working mode of the central radar (antenna array) through manual control, rather than through a preset program by the central controller.

In addition, functional modules in the embodiments of the present application may be integrated together to form an independent part, or each module may exist separately, or two or more modules may be integrated to form an independent part.
