Energy consumption control method for positioning terminal and positioning terminal applying the method

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for controlling the power consumption of a positioning terminal. The method comprises the following steps: a. determining whether the position change of the positioning terminal occurs in a preset time, if yes, resetting the timer, and if not, carrying out step b; b. entering a sleeping state of the positioning terminal. Due to the definition of the actual working time to the positioning terminal in the invention, when the position of the positioning terminal is not changed, stopping the positioning operation so as to reduce the power consumption; and when the position of the positioning terminal is changed again, triggering the terminal to return to the working state so as to greatly reduce the power consumption on the premise that the positioning operation is not delayed, thereby greatly prolonging the stand-by time. The invention also discloses a positioning terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile communication, in particular to a method for controlling power consumption of a positioning terminal and positioning a terminal using the method. Background technique [0002] GPS positioning terminal, as a small and practical tool, has received more and more people's favor. [0003] For users, not only the accuracy and speed of their positioning become the factors of choice, but also the standby time of their terminals is also a factor that users pay attention to. The length of the standby time directly determines the continuous working time of this type of terminal. Today, with the gradual rise of LBS (Location Based Service) mobile location services, various GPS terminals are widely infiltrating into our daily life, such as logistics, transportation and other industries, such as luggage tracking, vehicle tracking, Guardianship of special populations, etc. Taking long-distance logistics as an example, i...

Problems solved by technology

If a large-capacity battery is used, the appearance of the terminal will appear clumsy, and it will be inconvenient for users to use, thus losing the advantages of small and portable terminals.

[0005] The second way of thinking is to minimize the standby power consumption of the system, but in today's advanced mobile technology, the difference in standby power consumption between various manufacturers and platforms is almost the same, and there is almost no room for significant reduction

[0006] Therefore, the traditional method cannot greatly increase the standby time of the positioning terminal, and an efficient and practical method that can improve the standby time of the positioning terminal is urgently needed.
