Positioning method, positioning engine and logistics information management system

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses a positioning method, a positioning engine and a logistics information management system. The positioning method includes: acquiring positioning request information, wherein the positioning request information comprises a mobile terminal identification and an initial positioning type of an indicated positioning mode; subjecting the positioning request information to protocol conversion according to the initial positioning type; sending converted positioning request information to a basic positioning platform supportive to the initial positioning type and positioning a mobile terminal by the basic positioning platform; and if the basic positioning platform supportive to the initial positioning type fails in positioning, switching another positioning type and performing the steps of protocol conversion and sending according to the another positioning type, wherein the positioning requirement of the another positioning type is lower than that of the initial positioning type. By means of the technical scheme, flexible positioning modes can be provided to enable positioning areas of the mobile terminal to be maximized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of information technology, in particular to a positioning method, a positioning engine and a logistics information management system. Background technique [0002] Logistics refers to the use of modern information technology and equipment to deliver goods from the place of supply to the place of reception in an accurate, timely, safe, quality- and quantity-guaranteed, door-to-door rationalized service model and advanced service process. [0003] China Mobile's "Logistics Link" product is an industry application product for logistics companies (such as transportation companies, express companies, etc.). "Logistics Link" includes two parts: vehicle positioning terminal and mobile data collection terminal. Called "Mobile Ba Gun". "Mobile Bargun" is used to realize the reporting of material information and task information of logistics companies' overseas personnel. "Mobile Bargun" is a professional logistics terminal. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, because GPS technology is too dependent on terminal performance, it integrates satellite scanning, acquisition, pseudo-range signal reception, and positioning calculation into the terminal, resulting in defects such as low positioning sensitivity and high power consumption of the terminal.

Moreover, when GPS technology is used indoors or when encountering high-rise buildings and dense road sections, the GPS system signal will be unstable or even unable to work normally, which makes it impossible for vehicle positioning terminals to achieve positioning in many occasions such as basements and indoors.

[0005] It can be seen from the above that "Logistics Communication" based on GPS positioning technology has positioning blind spots, which cannot meet the needs of logistics companies to keep track of the delivery situation of field personnel, dispatch delivery tasks, quickly process customer needs, and manage mobile business personnel.
