Description
本發明係關於一種裝置定位控制系統、裝置定位及控制之方法及其區域管理之方法，特別是一種可精準地進行定位及控制之裝置定位控制系統、裝置定位及控制之方法及其區域管理之方法。The invention relates to a device positioning control system, a device positioning and control method and a region management method thereof, in particular to a device positioning control system capable of accurately positioning and controlling, a device positioning and control method and a regional management method thereof method.
目前定位及控制系統多透過智慧型手機上所安裝的應用程式(APP)，以GPS或A-GPS的方式進行定位，再透過智慧型手機本身之網路發佈與通報。又或者是攜帶自身具備GPS以及網路功能的穿戴式裝置，將由GPS所收到的定位資訊藉由網路送上雲端處理。但利用GPS或A-GPS在室內環境下無法進行精準的定位。且搭載GPS及連網能力的穿戴式裝置非常的耗電，續航能力不足。At present, the positioning and control system is mostly positioned by GPS or A-GPS through an application (APP) installed on the smart phone, and then distributed and notified through the network of the smart phone itself. Or it is a wearable device that has its own GPS and network functions, and the positioning information received by the GPS is sent to the cloud through the network. However, GPS or A-GPS cannot be used for accurate positioning in indoor environments. The wearable device equipped with GPS and networking capabilities is very power-hungry and has insufficient endurance.
另有一套名為「Beacon」專門適用於室內的定位方式，利用預先佈建或安排的Beacon節點(node)進行訊號廣播，由節點之間訊號的強弱變化計算出某節點裝置的位置。 現階段使用接收Beacon訊號定位，都需要搭配智慧型手機才能完成，以及如需要傳送資訊則少不了連網之功能。Beacon裝置間無法互傳資料，連動進行較複雜之控制及管理。Another set of "Beacon" is specially designed for indoor positioning. The Beacon node (node) is pre-arranged or arranged for signal broadcast, and the position of a node device is calculated by the strength of the signal between the nodes. At this stage, the use of receiving Beacon signal positioning requires a smart phone to complete, and if you need to transmit information, you must have the function of networking. Beacon devices cannot transfer data to each other, and they carry out more complicated control and management.

為能讓 貴審查委員能更瞭解本發明之技術內容，特舉較佳具體實施例說明如下。In order to enable the reviewing committee to better understand the technical contents of the present invention, the preferred embodiments are described below.
請先參考圖1係本發明之裝置定位控制系統之系統架構圖。Please refer to FIG. 1 for the system architecture diagram of the device positioning control system of the present invention.
如圖1所示，在本發明之一實施例中，本發明之裝置定位控制系統1可用以適用於一區域A內之一電子裝置20，此區域A可以為校園、百貨公司、地下室或停車場等地，本發明並不限制。電子裝置20可以為一可攜式裝置、穿戴式裝置或是車用電腦等具有無線訊號收發之功能的裝置，可廣播出一通知訊號。於本發明之一實施方式中，通知訊號為Beacon訊號，以適用於網狀網路(Mesh Network)的環境中，因此電子裝置20也同樣是適用於網狀網路的環境中之裝置。As shown in FIG. 1, in an embodiment of the present invention, the device positioning control system 1 of the present invention can be applied to one of the electronic devices 20 in a region A, which can be a campus, a department store, a basement, or a parking lot. Etc., the invention is not limited. The electronic device 20 can be a portable device, a wearable device, or a vehicle computer, and has a function of transmitting and receiving wireless signals, and can broadcast a notification signal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the notification signal is a Beacon signal for use in an Mesh Network environment, and thus the electronic device 20 is also a device suitable for use in a mesh network environment.
本發明之裝置定位控制系統1包括主控制裝置10及至少一定點裝置。於圖1中係以定點裝置30a到30e來進行說明，但本發明並不以圖1中所示的數量為限。因此定點裝置30a到30e係佈置於該區域A內，使得定點裝置30a到30e內一個或多個定點裝置會接收自電子裝置20廣播之該通知訊號。主控制裝置10係與定點裝置30a到30e利用有線或無線方式，例如藍芽通訊協定等方式互相連接，但本發明並不限定其連接方式。主控制裝置10及其具有的各模組可以為硬體裝置、軟體程式結合硬體裝置、韌體結合硬體裝置等方式架構而成，例如可以為儲存於一電腦可讀取媒介中的電腦程式產品，但本發明並不以上述的方式為限。該主控制裝置10包括訊號傳輸模組11、處理模組12及記憶模組13。訊號傳輸模組11係利用無線方式以分別自定點裝置30a到30e接收通知訊號。處理模組12係電性連接該訊號傳輸模組11，用以根據各定點裝置30a到30e接收之該通知訊號來判斷該電子裝置20所在之一位置範圍。於本發明之一實施方式中，由於各該定點裝置30a到30e位於區域A內的位置為已知，處理模組12可以再根據各該定點裝置30a到30e所接收之該通知訊號之訊號強度去推算，以判斷出該電子裝置20所在之該位置範圍。The device positioning control system 1 of the present invention includes a main control device 10 and at least a certain point device. The description is made with the pointing devices 30a to 30e in Fig. 1, but the present invention is not limited to the number shown in Fig. 1. Therefore, the pointing devices 30a to 30e are disposed in the area A such that one or more pointing devices in the pointing devices 30a to 30e receive the notification signal broadcasted from the electronic device 20. The main control device 10 and the pointing devices 30a to 30e are connected to each other by a wired or wireless method such as a Bluetooth communication protocol, but the present invention is not limited to the connection method. The main control device 10 and the modules thereof can be configured by a hardware device, a software program combined with a hardware device, a firmware combined with a hardware device, and the like, for example, a computer stored in a computer readable medium. Program product, but the invention is not limited to the above. The main control device 10 includes a signal transmission module 11, a processing module 12, and a memory module 13. The signal transmission module 11 receives the notification signal by the self-pointing devices 30a to 30e in a wireless manner. The processing module 12 is electrically connected to the signal transmission module 11 for determining a location range of the electronic device 20 according to the notification signal received by each of the pointing devices 30a to 30e. In an embodiment of the present invention, since the positions of the pointing devices 30a to 30e in the area A are known, the processing module 12 can further receive the signal strength of the notification signal according to each of the pointing devices 30a to 30e. The calculation is performed to determine the location range in which the electronic device 20 is located.
由於上述根據訊號強弱以判別發出訊號之裝置與接收訊號之裝置間的距離為現有之習用技術，已為所屬領域具有通常知識者所熟悉，故在此即不多做贅述。另需注意的是，本發明藉由通知訊號以判斷定點裝置30a到30e與電子裝置20之相對距離之方式並不以上述方式為限，任何可以測定二者間之相對距離的方法皆可為本發明所實施例；舉例言之，在特定實施例中，主控制裝置20也可以通知訊號發送後至各定點裝置30a到30e所花費的時間作為測定二者相對距離之方法。且處理模組12可進一步記錄電子裝置20於不同時間點之該位置範圍，以記錄下之電子裝置20之移動軌跡或出現的頻率等數據，但本發明並不限於此。處理模組12也可記錄該電子裝置20於不同時間點所靠近之定點裝置為何。Since the above-mentioned distance between the device for transmitting the signal and the device for receiving the signal is based on the strength of the signal, which is a conventional technique known to those skilled in the art, it will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the method for determining the relative distance between the pointing devices 30a to 30e and the electronic device 20 by the notification signal is not limited to the above manner, and any method for determining the relative distance between the two may be Embodiments of the present invention; for example, in a specific embodiment, the main control device 20 may also notify the time taken by the signal transmission to each of the pointing devices 30a to 30e as a method of determining the relative distance between the two. The processing module 12 can further record the location range of the electronic device 20 at different time points to record data such as the movement trajectory or the frequency of occurrence of the electronic device 20, but the invention is not limited thereto. The processing module 12 can also record the pointing device that the electronic device 20 is approaching at different points in time.
接著處理模組12會從定點裝置30a到30e中選擇出至少一特定定點裝置，以經由該訊號傳輸模組11傳送一控制訊號到該至少一特定定點裝置，藉以控制至少一特定定點裝置。於本發明之一實施方式中，該至少一特定定點裝置可以為最靠近電子裝置20之定點裝置。以圖1為例，若電子裝置20較靠近定點裝置30a時，處理模組12在完成電子裝置20的位置範圍判斷後，會經由該訊號傳輸模組11傳送一控制訊號到鄰近電子裝置20之該定點裝置30a，藉以控制鄰近該位置範圍定點裝置30a。舉例來說，若定點裝置30a到30e為照明燈、指示燈、通風設施等裝置時，處理模組12就可以控制定點裝置30a發光或開始運轉。Then, the processing module 12 selects at least one specific pointing device from the pointing devices 30a to 30e to transmit a control signal to the at least one specific pointing device via the signal transmitting module 11 to control at least one specific pointing device. In an embodiment of the invention, the at least one specific pointing device may be the pointing device closest to the electronic device 20. As shown in FIG. 1 , when the electronic device 20 is closer to the pointing device 30 a , the processing module 12 transmits a control signal to the adjacent electronic device 20 via the signal transmitting module 11 after determining the position range of the electronic device 20 . The pointing device 30a controls the pointing device 30a adjacent to the position range. For example, if the pointing devices 30a to 30e are devices such as illumination lamps, indicator lights, ventilation facilities, etc., the processing module 12 can control the pointing device 30a to emit light or start operation.
而在本發明之一實施例中，當電子裝置20的該位置範圍正靠近該至少一定點裝置30a時，該處理模組12可以利用控制訊號啟動定點裝置30a。而當該位置範圍遠離該定點裝置30a而靠近定點裝置30c時，該處理模組12係利用控制訊號關閉定點裝置30a以及啟動定點裝置30c。因此如果電子裝置20是使用者配戴的穿戴式裝置，而定點裝置30a到30e為照明燈時，照明燈就會隨配帶電子裝置20的使用者之移動，進行開關或調整亮度的動作，能達到節能的效果，也可做為使用者前進方向引導之應用。In an embodiment of the present invention, when the location range of the electronic device 20 is approaching the at least a certain point device 30a, the processing module 12 can activate the pointing device 30a by using a control signal. When the position range is away from the pointing device 30a and close to the pointing device 30c, the processing module 12 turns off the pointing device 30a and activates the pointing device 30c by using a control signal. Therefore, if the electronic device 20 is a wearable device worn by a user, and the pointing devices 30a to 30e are illumination lamps, the illumination lamp switches or adjusts the brightness according to the movement of the user who is equipped with the electronic device 20. It can achieve the effect of energy saving, and can also be used as an application for the user to guide the direction.
另外於本發明之另一實施例中，主控制裝置10更包括一記憶模組13，記憶模組13用以儲存一授權清單131，授權清單131可以藉由處理模組12或經由網路來修改或更新。處理模組12可以用以判斷該電子裝置20是否符合該授權清單131所列舉之裝置。若是，才控制鄰近電子裝置20的該至少一定點裝置30a。舉例來說，如果定點裝置30a本身是一種可透過網狀網路來連動控制門鎖裝置，當電子裝置20足夠接近定點裝置30a時，處理模組12可以由電子裝置20的通知訊號來判斷電子裝置20是否在授權清單131內，其中通知訊號可以包括電子裝置20的辨識資料，但本發明並不限於此，電子裝置20也可以單獨傳送辨識資料到主控制裝置10。若電子裝置20在授權清單131內，處理模組12會控制定點裝置30a自動開門或是解鎖。而當此電子裝置20遠離定點裝置30a一段距離時，定點裝置30a就會自動關門或是鎖上。所以使用者可以利用電子裝置20作為安全的認證裝置，當配帶未授權之電子裝置20之使用者接近時，定點裝置30a不會開啟，使用者就無法通過此閘門。並須注意的是，定點裝置30a到30e 也可具有記憶模組(圖未示)及儲存於其內的授權清單，藉此定點裝置30a到30e 可以自行判斷電子裝置20是否在授權清單內。若電子裝置20在授權清單內，定點裝置30a到30e可以自行作動，再即時或定時產生確認訊號到處理模組12，讓處理模組12可以記錄下電子裝置20之行動。且處理模組12也可以根據確認訊號以進一步控制另一特定定點裝置，例如最靠近電子裝置20的定點裝置30a自動關門或是鎖上，處理模組12根據定點裝置30a傳來的確認訊號先行控制定點裝置30b自動開門或是解鎖，但本發明並不限於此控制方式。In another embodiment of the present invention, the main control device 10 further includes a memory module 13 for storing an authorization list 131. The authorization list 131 can be processed by the processing module 12 or via the network. Modify or update. The processing module 12 can be used to determine whether the electronic device 20 meets the devices listed in the authorization list 131. If so, the at least certain point device 30a of the adjacent electronic device 20 is controlled. For example, if the pointing device 30a itself is a meshable network to control the door lock device, when the electronic device 20 is close enough to the pointing device 30a, the processing module 12 can determine the electronic device by the notification signal of the electronic device 20. Whether the device 20 is in the authorization list 131, wherein the notification signal may include the identification data of the electronic device 20, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the electronic device 20 may separately transmit the identification data to the main control device 10. If the electronic device 20 is in the authorization list 131, the processing module 12 controls the pointing device 30a to automatically open or unlock. When the electronic device 20 is away from the pointing device 30a for a certain distance, the pointing device 30a automatically closes or locks. Therefore, the user can use the electronic device 20 as a secure authentication device. When the user with the unauthorized electronic device 20 approaches, the pointing device 30a does not open and the user cannot pass the gate. It should be noted that the pointing devices 30a to 30e may also have a memory module (not shown) and an authorization list stored therein, whereby the pointing devices 30a to 30e may determine whether the electronic device 20 is in the authorization list. If the electronic device 20 is in the authorization list, the pointing devices 30a to 30e can act on their own, and then immediately or periodically generate a confirmation signal to the processing module 12, so that the processing module 12 can record the actions of the electronic device 20. The processing module 12 can further control another specific pointing device according to the confirmation signal. For example, the pointing device 30a closest to the electronic device 20 automatically closes or locks, and the processing module 12 advances according to the confirmation signal sent from the pointing device 30a. The pointing device 30b is controlled to automatically open or unlock, but the present invention is not limited to this control mode.
接著請參考圖2係本發明之裝置定位及控制之方法之步驟流程圖。此處需注意的是，以下雖以上述裝置定位控制系統1及主控制裝置10為例說明本發明之裝置定位及控制之方法，但本發明之裝置定位及控制之方法並不以使用在上述相同結構的裝置定位控制系統1及主控制裝置10為限。Next, please refer to FIG. 2, which is a flow chart of the steps of the method for positioning and controlling the device of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the following, the device positioning control system 1 and the main control device 10 are taken as an example to illustrate the method for positioning and controlling the device of the present invention. However, the method for positioning and controlling the device of the present invention is not used in the above. The device positioning control system 1 and the main control device 10 of the same structure are limited.
首先進行步驟200：一電子裝置於一區域內廣播出一通知訊號。First, step 200 is performed: an electronic device broadcasts a notification signal in an area.
首先電子裝置20係於一區域A內廣播出一通知訊號到其他的定點裝置30a到30e。First, the electronic device 20 broadcasts a notification signal to the other pointing devices 30a to 30e in an area A.
其次進行步驟201：透過布置於該區域內之至少一定點裝置接收該通知訊號。Next, step 201 is performed: receiving the notification signal through at least a certain point device disposed in the area.
接著設置於區域A內定點裝置30a到30e，使得定點裝置30a到30e內一個或多個定點裝置會接收自電子裝置20廣播之該通知訊號。自定點裝置30a到30e接收通知訊號就會傳輸到訊號傳輸模組11。Then, the pointing devices 30a to 30e are disposed in the area A, so that one or more pointing devices in the pointing devices 30a to 30e receive the notification signal broadcasted from the electronic device 20. The self-pointing devices 30a to 30e receive the notification signal and transmit it to the signal transmission module 11.
再進行步驟202：根據各該至少一定點裝置接收之該通知訊號判斷該電子裝置所在之一位置範圍。Step 202: Determine a location range of the electronic device according to the notification signal received by each at least a certain point device.
接著處理模組12係用以根據各定點裝置30a到30e接收之該通知訊號來判斷該電子裝置20所在之一位置範圍，例如根據各該定點裝置30a到30e所接收之該通知訊號之訊號強度去推算，但本發明並不限於此。The processing module 12 is configured to determine a location range of the electronic device 20 according to the notification signal received by each of the pointing devices 30a to 30e, for example, the signal strength of the notification signal received by each of the pointing devices 30a to 30e. To calculate, but the invention is not limited to this.
最後進行步驟203：自該至少一定點裝置中選擇出之至少一特定定點裝置，藉以控制該至少一特定定點裝置。Finally, step 203 is performed: at least one specific pointing device selected from the at least a certain point device, thereby controlling the at least one specific pointing device.
最後處理模組12會從定點裝置30a到30e中選擇出至少一特定定點裝置，以經由該訊號傳輸模組11傳送一控制訊號到該至少一特定定點裝置，例如定點裝置30a，藉以控制該至少一定點裝置30a。其控制方式可以為處理模組12經由該訊號傳輸模組11傳送一控制訊號到鄰近該位置範圍之該定點裝置30a，當電子裝置20的該位置範圍正靠近該至少一定點裝置30a時，該處理模組12可以利用控制訊號啟動定點裝置30a。而當該位置範圍遠離該定點裝置30a而靠近定點裝置30c時，該處理模組12係利用控制訊號關閉定點裝置30a以及啟動定點裝置30c。或是處理模組12可以用以判斷該電子裝置20是否符合記憶模組13所儲存的授權清單131所列舉之裝置。若是，才控制電子裝置20鄰近該位置範圍之該至少一定點裝置30a。處理模組12可進一步記錄電子裝置20於不同時間點之該位置範圍或該電子裝置20於不同時間點所靠近之定點裝置為何，本發明並不限於上述的應用。The last processing module 12 selects at least one specific pointing device from the pointing devices 30a to 30e to transmit a control signal to the at least one specific pointing device, such as the pointing device 30a, via the signal transmitting module 11 to control the at least The device 30a is fixed. The control module 12 can transmit a control signal to the pointing device 30a adjacent to the location range via the signal transmission module 11 when the location range of the electronic device 20 is approaching the at least a certain point device 30a. The processing module 12 can activate the pointing device 30a using the control signal. When the position range is away from the pointing device 30a and close to the pointing device 30c, the processing module 12 turns off the pointing device 30a and activates the pointing device 30c by using a control signal. The processing module 12 can be used to determine whether the electronic device 20 meets the devices listed in the authorization list 131 stored in the memory module 13. If so, the electronic device 20 is controlled to be adjacent to the at least a certain point device 30a of the range of positions. The processing module 12 can further record the location range of the electronic device 20 at different time points or the pointing device that the electronic device 20 is approaching at different time points, and the present invention is not limited to the above applications.
再進行步驟202後，主控制裝置10也可以進行另一種區域管理之方法，例如用於停車場內之管理。接著請參考圖3係本發明之裝置定位控制系統用於停車場之實施方式之示意圖及圖4係本發明之區域管理之方法之步驟流程圖。After step 202 is performed, the main control device 10 can also perform another method of area management, for example, for management in a parking lot. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a device positioning control system for a parking lot of the present invention and FIG. 4 is a flow chart of steps of a method for area management of the present invention.
首先於此圖3中，區域A’是停車場，而代表停車位的各定點裝置31a到31n則分布區域A’內，其中停車位定點裝置31b、31m係表示區域A’中空的停車位，其餘定點裝置的則是表示區域A’中已經停有車輛的停車位。電子裝置20可以是行車電腦或放置於車上的可攜式裝置，但本發明並不限制電子裝置20之種類。圖4A-4B中步驟A1到A3係為停車時的處理流程，步驟B1到B3係為離場時的處理流程。First, in FIG. 3, the area A' is a parking lot, and each of the pointing devices 31a to 31n representing the parking space is distributed in the area A', wherein the parking space pointing devices 31b, 31m represent the parking spaces of the area A', and the rest The pointing device is a parking space indicating that the vehicle has been parked in the area A'. The electronic device 20 may be a driving computer or a portable device placed on the vehicle, but the invention does not limit the type of the electronic device 20. Steps A1 to A3 in FIG. 4A-4B are the processing flow when parking, and steps B1 to B3 are the processing flow when leaving the field.
首先進行步驟A1：自該至少一定點裝置中選擇出一特定定點裝置，藉以控制該特定定點裝置傳輸一定位訊號至該電子裝置。First, step A1 is performed: selecting a specific pointing device from the at least a certain point device, thereby controlling the specific pointing device to transmit a positioning signal to the electronic device.
處理模組12可以事先得知停車位定點裝置31b、31m為空的停車位，因此將空位的停車位定點裝置31b、31m設定為特定定點裝置。當電子裝置20進入到區域A’之範圍時，處理模組12係控制特定定點裝置，即停車位定點裝置31b或31m傳輸一定位訊號至該電子裝置20，定位訊號同樣為一Beacon訊號。本發明並不限定傳輸定位訊號的停車位定點裝置31b或31m是否為最靠近電子裝置20之定點裝置，也可以依照停車場的調度方便讓離電子裝置20較遠之定點裝置傳輸定位訊號。The processing module 12 can know in advance that the parking space pointing devices 31b and 31m are empty parking spaces, and therefore the vacant parking space pointing devices 31b and 31m are set as specific pointing devices. When the electronic device 20 enters the range of the area A', the processing module 12 controls the specific pointing device, that is, the parking space pointing device 31b or 31m transmits a positioning signal to the electronic device 20, and the positioning signal is also a Beacon signal. The present invention does not limit whether the parking space pointing device 31b or 31m for transmitting the positioning signal is the pointing device closest to the electronic device 20, and the positioning device that is far away from the electronic device 20 can be conveniently transmitted according to the scheduling of the parking lot.
再進行步驟A2：利用該定位訊號指引該電子裝置如何到達該定點裝置。Step A2 is further performed: using the positioning signal to guide the electronic device how to reach the pointing device.
藉此定位訊號可供該電子裝置20計算得知與停車位定點裝置31b、31m之間的相對位置，使得該定位訊號可以進一步用來指引該電子裝置20如何到達空的停車位定點裝置31b、31m，但本發明並不限定一定要執行車輛引導之步驟。The positioning signal is used by the electronic device 20 to calculate the relative position between the parking space pointing device 31b, 31m, so that the positioning signal can be further used to guide the electronic device 20 to how to reach the empty parking space pointing device 31b, 31m, but the present invention is not limited to the step of performing vehicle guidance.
再進行步驟A3：記錄該電子裝置所靠近之該定點裝置。Step A3 is further performed: recording the pointing device that the electronic device is close to.
處理模組12會記錄電子裝置20停止時靠近的停車位定點裝置，也就是車子停放的車位。例如使用者將車子停放在停車位定點裝置31b時，處理模組12會記錄下此時電子裝置20的係位於停車位定點裝置31b。The processing module 12 records the parking space pointing device that is approached when the electronic device 20 is stopped, that is, the parking space where the car is parked. For example, when the user parks the car in the parking space pointing device 31b, the processing module 12 records that the electronic device 20 is located at the parking space pointing device 31b.
在使用者要離場時，可先進行步驟B1：自該至少一定點裝置中選擇該電子裝置所靠近之該定點裝置為該特定定點裝置。When the user wants to leave the field, step B1 may be first performed: selecting the pointing device that is close to the electronic device from the at least a certain point device as the specific pointing device.
在使用者要離場時，處理模組12會根據紀錄，選擇電子裝置20停止時靠近的停車位定點裝置為特定定點裝置，也就是停車位定點裝置31b。When the user wants to leave the field, the processing module 12 selects the parking space pointing device that is close when the electronic device 20 stops according to the record as a specific pointing device, that is, the parking space pointing device 31b.
接著進行步驟B2：控制該特定定點裝置傳輸該定位訊號至該電子裝置。Then proceed to step B2: controlling the specific pointing device to transmit the positioning signal to the electronic device.
所以當使用者要離場時，處理模組12即控制此特定定點裝置，也就是停車位定點裝置31b發出定位訊號到電子裝置20。Therefore, when the user wants to leave the field, the processing module 12 controls the specific pointing device, that is, the parking space pointing device 31b sends a positioning signal to the electronic device 20.
最後進行步驟B3：指引該電子裝置如何到達該特定定點裝置。Finally, step B3 is performed to guide the electronic device how to reach the specific pointing device.
與步驟A2相同，定位訊號可以指引使用者如何利用電子裝置20找到停車位定點裝置31b，但本發明並不限定一定要執行車輛引導之步驟。如此一來，使用者可以方便地於停車場中找出車子。As with step A2, the positioning signal can guide the user how to find the parking space pointing device 31b using the electronic device 20, but the present invention does not limit the step of performing the vehicle guiding. In this way, the user can conveniently find the car in the parking lot.
於本發明之另一實施例中，各定點裝置31a到31n同樣為Beacon定點裝置，電子裝置20可為停車場業者於車輛進場時發給使用者的停車識別裝置或穿戴式裝置。其功能可以類似於上述的步驟A1到A3及步驟B1到B3，在使用者入場得到電子裝置20後，電子裝置20係發出Beacon訊號，並且處理模組12由定點裝置31a到31n所收到之廣播訊號強度計算電子裝置20所在之位置。但與步驟A1不同的是，於本實施例中處理模組12係直接傳輸定位訊號至該電子裝置20，藉此指引使用者進行停車。另外，由於電子裝置20為停車場提供，所以停車場可以預先為電子裝置20進行應用程式產品設計，例如具有配合定點裝置31a到31n位置的移動記錄的程式產品。當然本實施例中也可以由處理模組12直接記錄電子裝置20於不同時間點所靠近之該至少一定點裝置31a到31n，本發明並不限於此。藉此當使用者要取車時，處理模組12也同樣計算電子裝置20所在之位置，並讀取電子裝置20的移動記錄得知電子裝置20的停放位置，例如位於停車位定點裝置31b。最後也與步驟B2不同，處理模組12直接傳輸定位訊號至該電子裝置20，指引使用者到達停車位取車，最後於離場時再交回電子裝置20。In another embodiment of the present invention, each of the pointing devices 31a to 31n is also a Beacon pointing device, and the electronic device 20 can be a parking identification device or a wearable device that is sent to the user by the parking lot when the vehicle enters the field. The function can be similar to the steps A1 to A3 and the steps B1 to B3 described above. After the user enters the electronic device 20, the electronic device 20 sends a Beacon signal, and the processing module 12 is received by the pointing devices 31a to 31n. The broadcast signal strength calculates the location of the electronic device 20. However, in the embodiment, the processing module 12 directly transmits the positioning signal to the electronic device 20, thereby guiding the user to stop. Further, since the electronic device 20 is provided for the parking lot, the parking lot can design the application product for the electronic device 20 in advance, for example, a program product having a movement record in cooperation with the position of the pointing devices 31a to 31n. Of course, in the embodiment, the processing module 12 can directly record the at least certain point devices 31a to 31n that the electronic device 20 is close to at different time points, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, when the user wants to pick up the vehicle, the processing module 12 also calculates the location of the electronic device 20, and reads the movement record of the electronic device 20 to know the parking position of the electronic device 20, for example, at the parking space pointing device 31b. Finally, in step B2, the processing module 12 directly transmits the positioning signal to the electronic device 20, directs the user to the parking space to pick up the vehicle, and finally returns to the electronic device 20 when leaving the field.
