Example Embodiment

[0047] The specific implementation of the system and method for determining an indoor relative position based on the 802.11 series protocol and EBP broadcast described in the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0048] figure 1 It is a block diagram of the system structure of the present invention, including a number of EBP devices, a number of mobile terminals supporting 802.11 series protocols and a background data processing center. Multiple EBP devices form microcells with overlapping edges. By adjusting the transmit power of the EBP devices, the cell radius is controlled to the order of submeter, meter or ten meters. The EBP device has a unique and uniquely coded ESSID number, which guarantees the reception of the user's mobile terminal within the coverage area through the circular broadcast of the number. Such as figure 1 As shown by user Y in the middle, the user’s mobile terminal needs to have and turn on the WLAN function, and periodically refresh the SSID information and signal strength of nearby EBPs through the APP. By comparing the signal strength, select the most recent EBP number as the location number and compare it to the indoor location. The environmental map number points are matched to complete the relative positioning of the user's location on the map. The user's map data, EBP number corresponding location and other information comes from the background data center's regular updates. The updated data can be downloaded to the user's mobile terminal offline or online to ensure the user's positioning and navigation without a network connection.
[0049] The user sets the target location point on the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal APP completes the navigation itinerary planning according to its own positioning results, and during the user's travel, monitors the route or dynamically adjusts the travel route according to the position of the passing point EBP. The navigation method supports the user to mark his current position, and after the position movement, according to the location EBP positioning, the previously marked position is used as the target location point to complete the navigation journey planning.
[0050] figure 1 Middle user Z can send other users through the background data processing center, such as figure 1 Middle user Y shares its location, and the information is forwarded to user Y through the background data processing center. User Y uses the location shared by user Z as the destination point, and dynamically corrects the route plan according to the current EBP location of both parties during the journey.
[0051] The background data processing center needs to dynamically update the map database and EBP location database according to actual changes, and regularly update user mobile terminal data through push, offline online download and other means.
[0052] Further, those skilled in the art understand that the mobile terminal can satisfy the technical solution of the present invention as long as the mobile terminal obtains the map information before confirming the EBP location with the EBP. For example, the mobile terminal may download the map data via the mobile Internet or the Internet immediately after installing an APP corresponding to the technical solution of the present invention, or it may be corresponding to the mobile terminal entering the indoor relative position determination system In an indoor space, the first EBP to communicate with it pushes the map data to the mobile terminal, or the control device in the mobile terminal executes the download Image 6 Downloading the map data after the step S602 does not affect the technical solution of the present invention. Further, those skilled in the art understand that the first EBP that communicates with the mobile terminal can determine whether there is corresponding map data in the mobile terminal through interaction with the control device, thereby determining whether it is necessary Download the map data, and further determine whether the map data needs to be updated, which will not be repeated here.
[0053] Those skilled in the art understand that the map data is a map file compatible with the indoor relative position determination system provided by the present invention. The mobile terminal can directly download the map data to the mobile terminal, or copy it to other storage devices and then copy it to the mobile terminal. This does not affect the technical solution of the present invention. For example, It is a desktop computer, or a memory card.
[0054] figure 1 In addition to basic functions such as positioning and navigation, the system shown has the ability to push location introduction data, including but not limited to shopping mall advertisements, shopping guides in stores, hospital medical guides, scenic spots guides, exhibition guides and other functions. Such information is updated in the background data processing center and pushed to the user's mobile terminal through online, offline and other means.
[0055] figure 2 Shown is a schematic diagram of the EBP structure, which implements downlink functions including IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11n protocols. The module includes MCU control framing, MAC layer buffering, baseband processing, radio frequency transmission processing, antenna and corresponding power supply required And frequency source. As a fixed value, the device location number is bound to the device in the form of ESSID information, and the transmission power is set to be cyclically transmitted according to the requirements of the micro cell coverage.
[0056] image 3 Shown is a schematic diagram of the mobile terminal software structure. The functions include two parts of the system bottom layer and upper layer application development. The user mobile terminal processing chip completes the PHY and MAC layer processing of the WLAN, and obtains the ESSID and transmit power through the operating system to provide the indoor positioning and navigation APP. The APP periodically refreshes the SSID information and signal strength of nearby EBPs in the background. By comparing the signal strength, the nearest EBP number is selected as the location number and matched with the indoor environment map number point to complete the relative positioning of the user's location on the map.
[0057] Figure 4 It is a schematic block diagram of the functional modules of the background data processing center. The background data processing center mainly includes three databases, an indoor map database, an EBP location database and a location introduction application information database. The three databases are all related to the location to ensure that the user obtains the map location and completes the introduction data push after positioning through the EBP. In order to achieve interaction and update with user terminals, the back-end data processing center is equipped with user location information processing and sharing exchange interfaces, and performs data statistics on user location information that is willing to anonymously share, and obtains detailed information on indoor crowd distribution. The background data processing center realizes user connection through the Internet or the mobile Internet.

Obtained after entering the destination; secondly, determine the destination EBP corresponding to the destination location point. Further, those skilled in the art understand that the destination may correspond to multiple EBP signals, and preferably, the EBP with the strongest signal is selected Broadcast signal; finally, according to the current relative position of the mobile terminal and the target EBP, determine the travel route information of the mobile terminal to the target EBP. Further, those skilled in the art understand how much the mobile terminal currently corresponds to EBP signal, refer to the attachment Image 6 The steps shown in it can be seen that determining the relative position of the current mobile terminal corresponds to determining the location of the destination according to the EBP signal corresponding to the destination location point, and then planning the corresponding route.
