Method and system for feature phone positioning

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for feature phone positioning. The system comprises a smart phone and a feature phone which are connected through a communication network. The method comprises the steps that base station information is obtained by a base station information obtaining module of the feature phone and sent to the smart phone through a short message; after the short message containing base station information of the feature phone is received by the smart phone, specific positioning application is achieved according to the phenomenon that historical base station information of the feature phone is converted into longitude and latitude. The historical base station information of the corresponding feature phone is found through the positioning application of the smart phone, so that positioning application of the feature phone is achieved through the smart phone, the smart phone can be positioned, the bound feature phone can be located, and therefore more accurate SOS services can be provided for a user of the corresponding feature phone. According to the method and system, extra hardware cost is not needed, only a corresponding software function needs to be implanted, the positioning function of the feature phone is expanded, and convenience is brought for a special user using the feature phone.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mobile terminal, in particular to a positioning method and system for a functional mobile phone. Background technique [0002] At present, ultra-low-end feature phones, such as mobile phones for the elderly, children's phones, and student phones, generally do not support GPRS and GPS functions due to cost considerations, and thus cannot be used for specific geographic location positioning. [0003] Nowadays, Android smartphones are becoming more and more popular, among which positioning applications (Application applications) emerge in endlessly, and these positioning APPs are generally used for positioning the smartphone itself, and cannot locate other mobile terminals, let alone low-end ones. Feature phones perform positioning, which makes ultra-low-end feature phone users need to switch to smart phones or perform hardware transformation on feature phones to realize the geolocation function, which is very inconvenient for c...
