AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing GPS-based geofence sensing technology consumes a lot of power, resulting in low efficiency and short battery life of terminal devices when providing push services based on geographical location.

Method used

By storing the positioning library in the terminal device, the communication access information is used to obtain the initial geographical location, and based on the preset conditions, it is decided whether to start the positioning module to obtain a more precise geographical location, and then determine whether the device is within the geo-fence, reducing the load of the positioning module. Run time and frequency.

Benefits of technology

It effectively saves the power consumption of the terminal device, extends the battery life, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of geofence sensing.

Abstract

A method for determining that a terminal device is located inside a geofence, and a terminal device. Said method comprises: acquiring, according to a location database, a first geographical position corresponding to communication access information of the terminal device; if the position relationship between the first geographical position and the geofence satisfies a first pre-set condition, initiating a positioning module to acquire a second geographical position of the terminal device; and determining, according to the second geographical position, that the terminal device is located inside the geofence. In this way, a terminal device does not need to initiate a positioning module all the time. A first geographical position can be determined according to a location database and communication access information, and when the first geographical position satisfies a condition, the positioning module is initiated to acquire a second geographical position, and then it is determined according to the second geographical position that a mobile phone is located inside a geofence, helping to reduce power consumption.
