Description

电子价签的定位装置、***、方法及计算机可读存储介质Positioning device, system, method and computer readable storage medium of electronic price tag 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及室内定位技术领域,特别涉及一种电子价签的定位装置、***、方法及计算机可读存储介质。The present invention relates to the technical field of indoor positioning, in particular to an electronic price tag positioning device, system, method and computer readable storage medium.
背景技术Background technique
传统的室内定位的方法有WiFi(即行动热点)、BLE(Bluetooth Low Energy,蓝牙低能耗)、UWB(Ultra Wideband,是一种无载波通信技术)、RFID(Radio Frequency Identification,无线射频识别)、红外线室内定位技术等。Traditional indoor positioning methods include WiFi (i.e. mobile hotspot), BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), UWB (Ultra Wideband, which is a non-carrier communication technology), RFID (Radio Frequency Identification, radio frequency identification), Infrared indoor positioning technology, etc.
其中,蓝牙室内定位技术是通过测量信号强度进行定位。这是一种短距离低功耗的无线传输技术,在室内安装适当的蓝牙局域网接入点,把网络配置成基于多用户的基础网络连接模式,并保证蓝牙局域网接入点始终是这个微微网(piconet)的主设备,就可以获得用户的位置信息。蓝牙室内定位技术主要应用于小范围定位,例如,单层大厅或仓库。Among them, Bluetooth indoor positioning technology locates by measuring signal strength. This is a short-distance low-power wireless transmission technology. Install appropriate Bluetooth LAN access points indoors, configure the network to be a multi-user-based basic network connection mode, and ensure that the Bluetooth LAN access point is always this piconet (piconet) master device, you can get the user's location information. Bluetooth indoor positioning technology is mainly used in small-scale positioning, such as single-story halls or warehouses.
蓝牙室内定位技术最大的优点是设备体积小、易于集成在PDA、PC以及手机中,因此很容易推广普及。理论上,对于持有集成了蓝牙功能移动终端设备的用户,只要设备的蓝牙功能开启,蓝牙室内定位***就能够对其进行位置判断。采用该技术作室内短距离定位时容易发现设备且信号传输不受视距的影响。The biggest advantage of Bluetooth indoor positioning technology is that the device is small in size and easy to integrate in PDAs, PCs and mobile phones, so it is easy to popularize. Theoretically, for a user who has a mobile terminal device with integrated Bluetooth function, as long as the device's Bluetooth function is turned on, the Bluetooth indoor positioning system can judge its location. When this technology is used for indoor short-distance positioning, it is easy to find the equipment and the signal transmission is not affected by the line-of-sight.
其不足在于蓝牙器件和设备的价格比较昂贵,而且对于复杂的空间环境,蓝牙***的稳定性稍差,受噪声信号干扰大。The disadvantage is that the price of Bluetooth devices and equipment is relatively expensive, and for the complex space environment, the stability of the Bluetooth system is slightly worse, and it is greatly interfered by noise signals.
WiFi和BLE定位方案定位精度低,一般在8-15m,覆盖范围为75-150m。UWB和RFID定位精度小于10CM,RFID的覆盖范围为1-5米,UWB的覆盖范围为150米。WiFi、BLE、UWB、RFID这些方案都基于无线电波实现,且无线电波自身的特性是对环境要求较高,施工复杂,稳定性不佳,使得这些定位方案均存在成本较高且定位精度较低的缺陷。The positioning accuracy of WiFi and BLE positioning schemes is low, generally 8-15m, and the coverage is 75-150m. The positioning accuracy of UWB and RFID is less than 10CM, the coverage of RFID is 1-5 meters, and the coverage of UWB is 150 meters. WiFi, BLE, UWB, and RFID are all implemented based on radio waves, and the characteristics of radio waves themselves are high environmental requirements, complex construction, and poor stability, making these positioning solutions have high costs and low positioning accuracy Defects.
此外,红外线室内定位技术定位的原理是,红外线IR标识发射调制的红外射线,通过安装在室内的光学传感器接收进行定位。In addition, the principle of infrared indoor positioning technology positioning is that infrared IR marks emit modulated infrared rays, which are received by optical sensors installed indoors for positioning.
虽然红外线具有相对较高的室内定位精度,但是由于光线不能穿过障碍物,使得红外射线仅能视距传播。直线视距和传输距离较短这两大主要缺点使其室内定位的效果很 差。当标识放在口袋里或者有墙壁及其他遮挡时就不能正常工作,需要在每个房间、走廊安装接收天线,造价较高。因此,红外线只适合短距离传播,而且容易被荧光灯或者房间内的灯光干扰,在精确定位上有局限性。Although infrared rays have relatively high indoor positioning accuracy, because light cannot pass through obstacles, infrared rays can only travel through the line of sight. The two major shortcomings of straight line of sight and short transmission distance make the indoor positioning effect very poor. When the logo is placed in a pocket or there is a wall or other shielding, it will not work properly. It is necessary to install a receiving antenna in each room and corridor, which is expensive. Therefore, infrared rays are only suitable for short-distance transmission, and are easily interfered by fluorescent lights or lights in the room, and have limitations in precise positioning.

Due to the relatively strong anti-interference ability and stability of line communication, the accuracy of positioning can be relatively improved. In order to further improve the accuracy of positioning, in this embodiment , You can locate the electronic price tag in the following ways:
所述控制器104,具体用于在每个触点位置对应的相对位置为该触点位置在所述固定装置上的序号以及相邻两个触点位置的间距时,将确定出的触点位置在所述固定装置上的序号乘以相邻两个触点位置的间距,将乘积作为发送所述信息的电子价签的位置;或者,在每个触点位置对应的相对位置为该触点位置在所述固定装置上的具***置时,将确定出的触点位置对应的所述相对位置作为发送所述信息的电子价签的位置。The controller 104 is specifically configured to determine the contact position when the relative position corresponding to each contact position is the serial number of the contact position on the fixing device and the distance between two adjacent contact positions The serial number of the position on the fixing device is multiplied by the distance between two adjacent contact positions, and the product is used as the position of the electronic price tag that sends the information; or, the relative position corresponding to each contact position is the contact position.

When the controller wakes up, the controller initiates communication one by one IO (ie, communication pin) in a predetermined order, and sends an information query command to query the information of the equipment on the N line.
当电子价签的IO接口电平变化时,电子价签响应IO接口中断并接收单线通信,控制器发送完成后,如电子价签应答,则电子价签通过单线应答控制器自己的信息,该信息可以包括ID序号等,控制器记录电子价签地址和设备信息;如电子价签未应答,则控 制器判断是否所有线路遍历完成,若是,控制器向服务器发送设备信息,否则,线数递增,继续询问下一个设备的信息。When the level of the IO interface of the electronic price tag changes, the electronic price tag responds to the interruption of the IO interface and receives single-wire communication. After the controller sends it, if the electronic price tag responds, the electronic price tag responds to the controller’s own information through a single line. The information can include ID serial number, etc. The controller records the electronic price tag address and device information; if the electronic price tag does not respond, the controller determines whether all lines traversal is completed, if so, the controller sends the device information to the server, otherwise, the line number is incremented , Continue to ask for the information of the next device.
