Processing to provide fast and accurate location services. ^ [Previous technology] LBS (Location-Based Service) mobile positioning service is a large series of services in mobile commerce, whether it is the current GSM or GpRS network, or even the future 3G network has its vast market and benefits. base. Mobile users can check the location information, such as the name of the place, nearby business districts, or electronic maps, for themselves, a special person or a special group by impressing the location service. In addition to mobile positioning technology, which can develop related life and living information services, & can combine rescue protection services such as emergency rescue or π car security4 to provide diversified integrated services. The specific LBS mobile positioning service hooks multiple monitoring devices (prObe) on the pLMN mobile network, and passively receives and analyzes the records generated on the network for all mobile users using this positioning service. U # needs to obtain the location of a certain mobile user, and then search from the j: shell database that was just analyzed. According to the existing mobile positioning technology, it can be known that: (1) multiple monitoring instruments must be attached to the PLMN network, and all network signals must be filtered, thereby affecting normal mobile network traffic; (2) only Passive reception of signals caused a slow positioning response time, unable to actively capture the location of the mobile user at 1230020; (3) Only the location of the mobile user who is using the positioning service can be monitored and obtained. For other users who are not using the positioning service, it cannot be obtained Its location. It can be seen that there are still many shortcomings and inconveniences in the above-mentioned method of capturing the location of mobile users. This is not a good designer and needs to be improved. In view of the various shortcomings derived from the above method of capturing the location of mobile users, the inventor of this case was eager to improve and innovate. After years of painstaking and meticulous research, he finally successfully developed this intelligent mobile location information service system. [Summary of the Invention] The intelligent mobile location information service system for achieving the above-mentioned purpose of the invention uses the information of Any-Time-Interrogation (ATI) and Provide-SUbScriber-Inf0 (PSI) in MAP 4 protocol to act on the HLR or VLR The parent exchanges inquires the base station location information (CeU ID) of the mobile user and processes the served data; or receives the InitlahDetectión-point (IDp) trigger message in the INAp signal protocol to obtain the user base Station position 'and process the obtained data; or use the lamp with a GPS device to actively send the MAp signal in the protocol

[Embodiment] The present invention uses the MAP and INAP signal protocol technology to actively query the location information of the base station where the user is located, and passively receive the IMP message triggered by the mobile user and manipulate the location of the base station carried by the mobile user. It can also passively receive the ussd or sms message sent by the GPS device with its latitude and longitude ~ so this & Ming% is applicable to a variety of different mobile positioning services, here are two examples. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. Figure 1 shows the system module unit structure diagram. The mobile positioning service program 20 sends query requests to smart mobile locations through Trp / TD & & and iCP / IP networks. The back-end processing unit 12 in the information service system 10, where the first back-end processing unit 12 first records this purine VI-"Xun Yiyi", and then informs the front-end signal unit 11 to inquire the exchange of a mobile user The location of the base station, after the front-end signal unit 11 receives the response from the switch. Since the response to the flood, the back-end processing unit 12 will be immediately notified, and it will be responsible for transmitting the location information back to the body and privately, and the σ reservation service program 20 And the maintenance management unit 13 is responsible for supervising and managing 7L in order to ensure that the system can operate without errors. When a problem occurs in the system, it will send a warning to the maintenance personnel to remove the obstacle. Figure 2 shows the system. Road functional architecture diagram, intelligent 1230020 smart mobile location information service system 10 in addition to the HLR mobile exchange i and VLR mobile exchange 2 connected via an interface, because the present invention has the ability to receive INAP messages Functions, so this system is also connected to the MSC / VLR / SSP switch 3 via the iNAp interface. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is "car news reel", which is a service for applying the positioning technology of the present invention to provide enterprises with vehicle control and improve Work efficiency subscription to Bexun service. After completing the service, the customer can obtain the account number and password, and inquire the location of the dispatched vehicle or car on the Internet to achieve the purpose of vehicle dispatch and management. Chexun express service can be divided into two types: “base station positioning service” and “satellite positioning service”. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a base station positioning service. The application server 31 actively sends a location query request with a mobile subscriber number (MSISDN) to the smart mobile location information service system 10. If the smart mobile location information service system 10 is based on According to the existing information, the VLR / MSC mobile exchange 2 where the mobile subscriber is located can be obtained by Provide Subscrib ^ -Information (PSI) via the VLR / MSC mobile exchange 2 and the BSC mobile base station system 4 Table position, otherwise

Therefore, the intelligent mobile location information service system 10 captures the base station location of the calling terminal 7 of the mobile user, and then The information is sent to the application server M for processing. The application server 31 is to confirm whether the calling end 7 of the mobile user is in the same area as the calling end 8 of the mobile 1230020 user. Therefore, the intelligent mobile location information service system 10 is requested to query the position of the called end 8 of the mobile user. The location information service system 10 sends a PSI message to obtain the base station location of the mobile user via the VLR mobile switch and the BSC mobile base station system 4. After the application server 31 has retrieved the position of the called end 8 of the mobile user, it can compare with the position of the call end 7 of the mobile user and determine the incoming call flow. [Features and effects] The intelligent mobile location information service system provided by the present invention has the following advantages when compared with other conventional technologies: 1. The present invention can reduce the impact on the mobile phone network and ensure normal traffic. Operation. 2. The invention can greatly improve the reaction time and provide better service efficiency. 3.
