Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to, but are not limited to, the field of communication technology, and particularly to a client terminal device and a location detection method, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In practical applications, antennas in Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) are typically used for data transmission relay. For example, the antenna in the CPE can receive and transmit data signals sent by the cell base station. During data signal reception, the antenna's position within the CPE affects the signal transmission between the CPE and the cell base station. Therefore, to ensure the quality of the data signal received by the CPE, it is necessary to confirm the antenna's position within the CPE. Currently, related technologies typically employ multiple external positioning devices to simultaneously detect the antennas in the CPE. The need to configure multiple positioning devices simultaneously increases the overall layout difficulty and cost within a limited space. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The UWB positioning module is controlled to receive the first detection signal, the second detection signal, and the third detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag, and the UWB positioning module is controlled to perform position detection on the antenna module based on the first detection signal, the second detection signal, the third detection signal, the position information of the UWB positioning module, the position information of the first transmission component, and the position information of the second transmission component.

[0018] Thirdly, embodiments of the present invention also provide a client terminal device, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the position detection method described in the second aspect above.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0036] It should be noted that although functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0037] This invention provides a client terminal device, a location detection method, and a computer-readable storage medium. When the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component, and the second transmission component are in different locations, the UWB positioning module can detect the location of the antenna module based on the first detection signal, the second detection signal, the third detection signal, the location information of the UWB positioning module, the location information of the first transmission component, and the location information of the second transmission component. Since the location detection of the antenna module can be achieved by using one UWB positioning module in conjunction with two transmission components for signal relay, it is not necessary to set up multiple positioning devices to detect the location of the antenna module at the same time. This reduces the difficulty of spatial layout and saves costs while detecting the location of the antenna module.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a client terminal device provided in one embodiment of the present invention, wherein, Figure 1 The lines and arrows in the diagram are used to indicate the transmission direction of each detection signal, and different detection signals are represented by different line types. Signal A represents the first detection signal, signal B represents the second detection signal, and signal C represents the third detection signal.

[0040] exist Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, a client terminal device includes, but is not limited to:

[0041] Ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning module, used to output the first detection signal;

[0042] A first transmission component is used to receive a first detection signal and output a second detection signal based on the first detection signal;

[0043] The second transmission component is used to receive the first detection signal and output a third detection signal based on the first detection signal. The positions of the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component, and the second transmission component are different.

[0044] The antenna module is equipped with a UWB positioning tag. The UWB positioning tag is used to receive the first detection signal, the second detection signal and the third detection signal, and to send the first detection signal, the second detection signal and the third detection signal to the UWB positioning module.

[0045] The UWB positioning module is also used to receive the first detection signal, the second detection signal, and the third detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag, and to perform position detection on the antenna module based on the first detection signal, the second detection signal, the third detection signal, the position information of the UWB positioning module, the position information of the first transmission component, and the position information of the second transmission component.

[0046] In one embodiment, UWB technology is a wireless communication technology. The generation of UWB signals can be achieved by modulating narrow pulses (e.g., second-order Gaussian pulses) with extremely short transmission times (e.g., 2ns or less) to the UWB operating frequency band using up-conversion methods such as differentiation or mixing. The first detection signal output by the UWB positioning module may include, but is not limited to, UWB signals. Correspondingly, the second and third detection signals generated by the first and second transmission components based on the first detection signal may also include, but are not limited to, UWB signals. Since UWB signals are a type of communication signal, i.e., UWB signals have the general characteristics of communication signals, the implementation methods for the generation and transmission of UWB signals will not be described in detail for the sake of redundancy.

[0047] In one embodiment, the UWB positioning tag can be, but is not limited to, various types of integrated devices. This integrated device, through an internal system architecture that integrates positioning functions, can mark the antenna module and stably receive and output each detection signal, thereby assisting in the location detection of the antenna module. It can be understood that, since the location information of the UWB positioning module, the location information of the first transmission component, and the location information of the second transmission component have been confirmed and all location information is different, the UWB positioning tag can send each detection signal to the UWB positioning module based on the above location information, so that the UWB positioning module can detect the location of the antenna module.

[0048] In one embodiment, when the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component, and the second transmission component are in different locations, the UWB positioning module can detect the position of the antenna module based on the first detection signal, the second detection signal, the third detection signal, the position information of the UWB positioning module, the position information of the first transmission component, and the position information of the second transmission component. Since the position detection of the antenna module can be achieved by using one UWB positioning module in conjunction with two transmission components for signal relay, it is not necessary to set up multiple positioning devices to detect the position of the antenna module at the same time. Thus, the position detection of the antenna module can be performed while reducing the difficulty of spatial layout and saving costs.

[0049] Understandably, because the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component, and the second transmission component are located in different positions, the output and reception of the first detection signal, the second detection signal, and the third detection signal corresponding to the respective components can all be in a stable state, and there will be no cross-interference between the various detection signals, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the antenna module's position detection.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first transmission component may include, but is not limited to, a first mixer, wherein the first mixer is used to: acquire a first detection signal and a first reference signal, and mix the first detection signal with the first reference signal to obtain and output a second detection signal.

[0051] In one embodiment, mixing refers to the process of mixing two electrical signals of different frequencies using a nonlinear element (e.g., a diode or similar functional device) and obtaining a third electrical signal through a frequency selection circuit. That is, a second detection signal is obtained by mixing a first detection signal and a first reference signal using a first mixer. The first mixer is used instead of the positioning device in the related technology. Since the first reference signal can be preset, the accuracy of the obtained second detection signal can be ensured. That is, the first mixer can also output a stable and reliable frequency band signal for position detection. However, obviously, the first mixer, as a nonlinear element, has lower layout difficulty and cost, which is beneficial to realize the position detection of the antenna in the customer terminal device while reducing the spatial layout difficulty and saving costs.

[0052] Understandably, the first reference signal can be generated in any form and acquired by the first transmission component. The frequency of the first reference signal can be fixed to facilitate stable and controllable mixing operations. For example, the first reference signal can be a local oscillator signal, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. Furthermore, the second detection signal can be amplified compared to the first detection signal to make the second detection signal easier to transmit in space, thereby reducing detection errors.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second transmission component may include, but is not limited to, a second mixer, wherein the second mixer is used to: acquire a first detection signal and a second reference signal, and mix the first detection signal with the second reference signal to obtain and output a third detection signal.

[0054] In one embodiment, a third detection signal is obtained by mixing a first detection signal and a second reference signal using a second mixer. The second mixer replaces the positioning device in the related technology. Since the second reference signal can be preset, the obtained third detection signal can be ensured to have high accuracy. That is, the second mixer can also output a stable and reliable frequency band signal for position detection. However, it is obvious that the second mixer, as a nonlinear element, has lower layout difficulty and cost, which is beneficial to realize the position detection of the antenna in the customer terminal device while reducing the difficulty of spatial layout and saving costs.

[0055] Understandably, the second reference signal can be generated in any form and acquired by the second transmission component. The frequency of the second reference signal can be fixed to facilitate stable and controllable mixing operations. For example, the second reference signal can be a local oscillator signal, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. Furthermore, the third detection signal can be amplified compared to the first detection signal to make the third detection signal easier to transmit in space, thereby reducing detection errors.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the client terminal device further includes a main control module, which is used to obtain the position detection result of the antenna module sent by the UWB positioning module and report the position detection result.

[0057] In one embodiment, since the UWB positioning module performs position detection on the antenna module, that is, the UWB positioning module can determine the position detection result of the antenna module, the main control module can obtain the position detection result and report it, so that the downstream devices, apparatuses or users can analyze based on the position detection result, that is, confirm whether the position of the antenna module will affect the signal transmission between the customer terminal device and the cell base station, and thus determine whether the position of the antenna module needs to be adjusted to ensure stable signal transmission between the customer terminal device and the cell base station.

[0058] Furthermore, when the main control module receives the location detection result of the antenna module sent by the UWB positioning module, the main control module will perform a pre-alarm analysis on the location detection result, that is, determine the difference between the location detection result and the preset alarm conditions. When the location detection result meets the preset alarm conditions, the main control module will report the location detection result and issue an alarm message at the same time, so as to intuitively and reliably alarm and prompt that the current location of the antenna module may affect the signal transmission between the customer terminal equipment and the cell base station.

[0059] It is understood that the preset alarm conditions can be determined based on the historical reference position, angle and orientation of the antenna device, etc., which is not limited; the form of alarm information can be, but is not limited to, issuing sound alarms, issuing light alarms or issuing text alarm prompts, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0060] To better illustrate the working principle of the above embodiments, specific examples are given below.

[0061] Example 1

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a client terminal device provided in another embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] Figure 3 The example illustrates the hardware architecture of a client terminal device according to one embodiment. In addition to the antenna module, UWB positioning tag, UWB positioning module, first transmission component, and second transmission component, the client terminal device also includes a device host and a power supply connected to the device host. Data can be exchanged between the device host and the antenna module. The device host, acting as a control terminal, can activate or deactivate corresponding components by providing power. For example, when the device host is powered on, if it only supplies power to the UWB positioning module and the first transmission component, then the UWB positioning module and the first transmission component can be activated, while the second transmission component and the UWB positioning tag remain deactivated. It should be noted that besides using the device host for power supply, other power sources or a power supply can be used to directly power each component; this is not limited in this embodiment.

[0064] In this hardware architecture, the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component, and the second transmission component can all be located within the device host, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a device host according to one embodiment is shown, wherein a motherboard is disposed in the middle of the device host, and the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component and the second transmission component are respectively disposed on different corners of the device host. Of course, those skilled in the art can set the specific positions of each component in the device host according to the actual situation. For example, the UWB positioning module can be disposed on the outside of the device host, which is not limited.

[0065] The device host can be equipped with a main control module. The UWB positioning module can transmit the antenna position detection results to the main control module in the device host through wired or wireless interfaces. That is, the device host can obtain the antenna position detection results in real time and upload them, thus playing a role in overall control.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a client terminal device provided in another embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] Figure 5 The example provides a software architecture for a client terminal device of one embodiment, including but not limited to the application layer, service layer, transport layer, and perception layer.

[0069] The application layer includes data center management software adapted to the data center. When the device host sends the antenna position detection results to the data center, the data center extracts the antenna position information based on the position detection results and compares it in real time. The antenna position information at the current moment can be compared with the antenna position information at the previous moment. Once the data center detects a change in the compared antenna position information, it can determine that the angle or azimuth of the antenna device has shifted, and thus adjust the antenna device. Alternatively, if the device host uploads the position detection results along with alarm information, indicating that the antenna position may have shifted, the data center can adjust the antenna device directly without comparison.

[0070] Understandably, the distinction between the previous moment and the next moment can be applied according to specific circumstances. For example, if the client terminal device loses power, the previous moment can represent the working time of the client terminal device before the power loss, and the next moment can represent the working time of the client terminal device after the power loss and restart. By comparing the difference between the two moments, it can be determined whether the antenna module has shifted during the power loss and restart process of the client terminal device.

[0071] Understandably, the comparison method can be set according to the actual situation. For example, it can be compared directly based on whether the antenna position information at two times is the same, or it can be compared based on the difference between the antenna position information at two times and a preset position change threshold. There are no limitations on this.

[0072] The service layer includes positioning engine software, system management software, software development kit (SDK) backend interface, and SDK frontend interface. The positioning engine software and SDK backend interface are used to upload the antenna module's position detection results to the application layer, while the system management software and SDK frontend interface are used to import the antenna module's position detection results from the transmission layer.

[0073] The transmission layer is used to transmit the position detection results of the antenna module, which can be done via wired or wireless means.

[0074] The perception layer includes a UWB positioning module, a first transmission component, a second transmission component, and a UWB positioning tag, which are used to detect the position of the antenna module. Since the functions and principles of each component have been given in the previous embodiments, they will not be repeated here to avoid redundancy.

[0075] Furthermore, the UWB positioning module is specifically used for:

[0076] Based on the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the first detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag, the first distance between the UWB positioning tag and the UWB positioning module is obtained.

[0077] The second distance between the UWB positioning tag and the first transmission component is obtained based on the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal, the time when the first transmission component receives the first detection signal, and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the second detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0078] The third distance from the UWB positioning tag to the second transmission component is obtained based on the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal, the time when the second transmission component receives the first detection signal, and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the third detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0079] The location information of the antenna module is obtained based on the location information of the UWB positioning module, the location information of the first transmission component, the location information of the second transmission component, the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance.

[0080] In one embodiment, since each detection signal is an electrical signal, the transmission speed of each detection signal is fixed (theoretically the speed of light, but can be measured under different conditions). Therefore, after obtaining the output time or reception time of each detection signal, the transmission distance of the corresponding detection signal can be determined by the product of the actual time and the transmission speed. That is, the corresponding distance between each component can be determined, namely, the first distance, the second distance and the third distance as described above. Since the position information of each component is fixed, after determining the corresponding distance between each component, the position detection of the antenna module can be achieved by combining the position information of each component, thereby obtaining the position information of the antenna module.

[0081] Understandably, the time of the first detection signal output by the UWB positioning module should theoretically be no less than the time of a detection signal (i.e., one of the first, second, and third detection signals sent by the UWB positioning tag) that the UWB positioning module last receives. This ensures that the signals output by the UWB positioning module and the signals returned by the UWB positioning tag are reliable and complete, preventing excessive errors that could affect the calculation of each detection distance.

[0082] To better illustrate the working principle of the above embodiments, specific examples are given below.

[0083] Example 3

[0084] based on Figure 1 The illustrated embodiments will be used for explanation. For ease of explanation, the following definitions will be made first:

[0085] Let Ta be the sum of the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the first detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag. Obviously, the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the first detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag are both Ta / 2.

[0086] Let T1 be the time when the first transmission component receives the first detection signal, and Tb be the time when the UWB positioning module receives the second detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0087] Let T2 be the time when the second transmission component receives the first detection signal, and Tc be the time when the UWB positioning module receives the third detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0088] Let the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance be La, Lb, and Lc, respectively;

[0089] Assume that each detection signal is an electromagnetic wave under steady-state conditions, with a propagation speed of c.

[0090] Then, based on the above data, the following calculation results can be obtained:

[0091] La = (c*Ta) / 2;

[0092] Lb = c*(Tb-Ta / 2-T1);

[0093] Lc = c*(Tc-Ta / 2-T1).

[0094] It can be seen that the position information of the antenna module can be obtained through the position information of the fixed UWB positioning module, the position information of the first transmission component, the position information of the second transmission component, and La, Lb, and Lc.

[0095] Based on the structure of the client terminal device provided in the above embodiments, various embodiments of the position detection method of the present invention are proposed.

[0096] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a position detection method provided in one embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to, for example... Figures 1 to 3 or Figure 5 The location detection method for the client terminal device in the illustrated embodiment includes, but is not limited to, steps S100 to S500.

[0097] Step S100: Control the UWB positioning module to output the first detection signal;

[0098] Step S200: Control the first transmission component to receive the first detection signal, and control the first transmission component to output the second detection signal according to the first detection signal;

[0099] Step S300: Control the second transmission component to receive the first detection signal, and control the second transmission component to output the third detection signal according to the first detection signal, wherein the positions of the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component and the second transmission component are different;

[0100] Step S400: Control the UWB positioning tag to receive the first detection signal, the second detection signal and the third detection signal, and control the UWB positioning tag to send the first detection signal, the second detection signal and the third detection signal to the UWB positioning module;

[0101] Step S500: Control the UWB positioning module to receive the first detection signal, the second detection signal, and the third detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag, and control the UWB positioning module to perform position detection on the antenna module based on the first detection signal, the second detection signal, the third detection signal, the position information of the UWB positioning module, the position information of the first transmission component, and the position information of the second transmission component.

[0102] In one embodiment, when the UWB positioning module, the first transmission component, and the second transmission component are in different positions, the UWB positioning module is controlled to detect the position of the antenna module based on the first detection signal, the second detection signal, the third detection signal, the position information of the UWB positioning module, the position information of the first transmission component, and the position information of the second transmission component. Since the position detection of the antenna module can be achieved by using one UWB positioning module in conjunction with two transmission components for signal relay, it is not necessary to set up multiple positioning devices to detect the position of the antenna module at the same time. Thus, the position detection of the antenna module can be performed while reducing the difficulty of spatial layout and saving costs.

[0103] like Figure 7 As shown, step S500 includes, but is not limited to, steps S510 to S540.

[0104] Step S510: Control the UWB positioning module to obtain the first distance from the UWB positioning tag to the UWB positioning module based on the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the first detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0105] Step S520: Control the UWB positioning module to obtain the second distance from the UWB positioning tag to the first transmission component based on the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal, the time when the first transmission component receives the first detection signal, and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the second detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0106] Step S530: Control the UWB positioning module to obtain the third distance from the UWB positioning tag to the second transmission component based on the time when the UWB positioning module outputs the first detection signal, the time when the second transmission component receives the first detection signal, and the time when the UWB positioning module receives the third detection signal sent by the UWB positioning tag.

[0107] Step S540: Control the UWB positioning module to obtain the antenna module's position information based on the UWB positioning module's position information, the first transmission component's position information, the second transmission component's position information, the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance.

[0108] In one embodiment, since each detection signal is an electrical signal, meaning the transmission speed of each detection signal is fixed, once the UWB positioning module obtains the output time or reception time of each detection signal, it can determine the transmission distance of the corresponding detection signal by multiplying the actual time by the transmission speed. That is, it determines the corresponding distances between each component, namely, the first distance, the second distance, and the third distance as described above. Since the position information of each component is fixed, after the UWB positioning module determines the corresponding distances between each component, the position of the antenna module can be detected by combining the position information of each component, thereby obtaining the position information of the antenna module.

[0109] like Figure 8 As shown, when the first transmission component includes, but is not limited to, the first mixer device, step S200 includes, but is not limited to, step S210.

[0110] Step S210: Control the first mixer to acquire the first detection signal and the first reference signal, and control the first mixer to mix the first detection signal and the first reference signal to obtain and output the second detection signal.

[0111] In one embodiment, a first mixer device is used instead of the positioning device in the related technology. Since the first reference signal can be preset, the obtained second detection signal can be ensured to have high accuracy. That is, the first mixer device can also output a stable and reliable frequency band signal for position detection. However, obviously, the first mixer device, as a nonlinear element, has lower layout difficulty and cost, which is conducive to realizing the position detection of the antenna in the customer terminal device while reducing the spatial layout difficulty and saving costs.

[0112] like Figure 9 As shown, when the second transmission component includes, but is not limited to, the second mixer device, step S300 includes, but is not limited to, step S310.

[0113] Step S310: Control the second mixer to acquire the first detection signal and the second reference signal, and control the second mixer to mix the first detection signal and the second reference signal to obtain and output the third detection signal.

[0114] In one embodiment, a second mixer is used instead of the positioning device in the related technology. Since the second reference signal can be preset, the obtained third detection signal can be ensured to have high accuracy. That is, the second mixer can also output a stable and reliable frequency band signal for position detection. However, obviously, the second mixer, as a nonlinear element, has lower layout difficulty and cost, which is beneficial to realize the position detection of the antenna in the customer terminal device while reducing the spatial layout difficulty and saving costs.

[0115] like Figure 10 As shown, the position detection method also includes, but is not limited to, step S600.

[0116] Step S600: Obtain the position detection result of the antenna module sent by the UWB positioning module, and report the position detection result.

[0117] In one embodiment, since the UWB positioning module is controlled to perform position detection on the antenna module, that is, the position detection result of the antenna module is determined based on the UWB positioning module, the position detection result can be obtained and reported, so that the downstream devices, apparatuses or users can analyze the position detection result, that is, confirm whether the position of the antenna module will affect the signal transmission between the customer terminal device and the cell base station, and thus determine whether the position of the antenna module needs to be adjusted to ensure stable signal transmission between the customer terminal device and the cell base station.

[0118] like Figure 11 As shown, step S600 includes, but is not limited to, steps S610 to S620.

[0119] Step S610: Obtain the position detection result of the antenna module sent by the UWB positioning module;

[0120] Step S620: When the location detection result meets the preset alarm conditions, report the location detection result and issue an alarm message.

[0121] In one embodiment, when the location detection result of the antenna module sent by the UWB positioning module is obtained, a pre-alarm analysis can be performed on the location detection result, that is, the difference between the location detection result and the preset alarm conditions can be judged. When the location detection result meets the preset alarm conditions, the location detection result can be further reported and an alarm message can be issued at the same time, so as to intuitively and reliably alarm and prompt that the current location of the antenna module may affect the signal transmission between the customer terminal equipment and the cell base station.
