Description

Method, mobile terminal and system for collecting positioning information

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of information technology, in particular to a method for collecting positioning information, a mobile terminal and a system.

Background technique

Location based service (LBS), also known as positioning service, can determine the location of the mobile terminal and determine the geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude coordinates) of the mobile terminal user, thereby providing the location-related service information required by the user. The positioning process may only take a few seconds, and the traffic consumed may only be tens of bytes. Due to the regional and convenient characteristics of consumers' demand for life services, location-based services are becoming more and more popular.

As we all know, positioning can be carried out through GPS, WIFI, and base stations. Among them, GPS positioning has the highest accuracy and has data such as direction and speed, which can be used for navigation. However, GPS takes a long time to start and is invalid indoors. In addition, GPS It performs poorly in bad weather and places with too dense buildings, and these factors are overcome by Wi-Fi and/or base station positioning: mobile terminals can detect nearby base stations and/or WIFI signals, and The base station and/or WIFI signal is sent to the server, and the server queries the corresponding geographical coordinates in the positioning database stored in the server according to the base station and/or WIFI signal, and sends the query result to the positioning terminal to realize positioning. However, all of these require a relatively complete positioning database in the server, and the comprehensiveness of the positioning database determines the quality of user positioning: the more comprehensive the positioning database, the better the positioning quality.

At present, in order to establish a relatively comprehensive positioning database, it is a common method to use mobile terminals with a wide coverage to collect positioning information to enrich the database. A background program will be embedded in the mobile terminal, and the background program will always scan the positioning information around the current location of the mobile terminal and upload it to the server continuously. However, such an approach will result in waste of mobile terminal resources, such as network traffic, battery power, and the like.

The subset of positioning information refers to the WIFI signal and/or base station signal in the collected current positioning information, which belongs to the subset of the WIFI signal and/or base station signal uploaded to the network server recently, for example, the collected current positioning information If the WIFI signals in the information include B, C, and D, and the most recently uploaded WIFI signals are A, B, C, and D, then the current positioning information is considered to be a subset of the most recently uploaded positioning information.

S32. If yes, do not add the positioning information to the original query request; generally, if the positioning information is consistent with the latest uploaded positioning information or the positioning information is a subset of the latest uploaded positioning information, then It can be inferred that the geographic locations where the user collects information twice are the same or close, and the positioning information is not added to the original query request, so as to save resources of the mobile terminal and the network server.
