Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of location query technology, specifically to a location method and system based on physical MAC address and embedded location. Background Technology

[0002] In an environment where the authenticity of location information from various electronic devices, such as virtual locations and virtual phones, is difficult to verify, the use of virtual addresses for illegal and criminal activities is on the rise. In current wireless communication networks, precise location positioning of terminal devices is required to achieve location-based services (LBS). Traditional precise positioning methods mainly include the Global Positioning System (GPS) based on satellite navigation systems and positioning methods based on wireless signals (such as base station triangulation and fingerprint positioning). GPS positioning offers high accuracy, but requires specialized hardware, and mobile phones can easily modify their addresses using virtual positioning, making rapid address location impossible. Therefore, achieving high-precision and high-accuracy positioning in complex environments remains a challenge.

[0003] Currently, physical MAC addresses and embedded positioning are used separately and not integrated. Positioning often relies on a combination of MAC addresses from the registry and GPS, but MAC addresses in the registry can be modified by users, making it difficult to accurately pinpoint the specific address of the electronic device owner. Furthermore, some positioning methods require specialized hardware. Applying embedded positioning technology to physical MAC addresses can not only prevent the location from being tampered with, but also achieve high-precision and high-accuracy address positioning without the need for additional hardware support.

[0004] How to combine embedded positioning with physical MAC addresses to achieve high-precision and high-accuracy address positioning is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical objective of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a positioning method and system based on physical MAC addresses and embedded positioning, thereby solving the technical problem of how to combine embedded positioning with physical MAC addresses to achieve high-precision and high-accuracy address positioning.

[0009] When querying the location of a user or terminal device, the system performs a matching query from the database based on the user information or the physical MAC address of the terminal device to obtain the associated location address information.

[0010] Preferably, for terminal devices that require positioning, after obtaining the positioning address information of the terminal device based on the embedded positioning chip, the positioning address information is preprocessed, including multiple sampling and filtering of the positioning address information, and the preprocessed positioning address information is stored in the database as the final positioning address information.

[0017] The physical MAC addresses of device users and corresponding terminal devices are associated to form mapping information between device users and physical MAC addresses. This mapping information is then encrypted and stored in the database.

[0018] As a preferred method, the location of the user or terminal can be queried through a pre-configured query interface. In the query interface, based on the input user information or the physical MAC address of the terminal device, a matching query is performed from the database, and the associated location address information is returned to the query interface for display.

[0019] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a positioning system based on physical MAC address and embedded positioning, applied to a terminal device equipped with an embedded positioning chip. The system is used to perform positioning by a positioning method based on physical MAC address and embedded positioning as described in any of the first aspects. The system includes a device management module, an address acquisition module, a positioning matching module, and a database.

[0023] Preferably, for terminal devices that require positioning, after obtaining the positioning address information of the terminal device based on the embedded positioning chip, the address acquisition module is used to preprocess the positioning address information, including sampling and filtering the positioning address information multiple times, and storing the preprocessed positioning address information as the final positioning address information in the database.

[0024] Preferably, the database is configured with a database table, which is used to store device information, user information, and embedded positioning chip information.

[0030] The device management module is used to associate the physical MAC addresses of device users and corresponding terminal devices to form mapping information between device users and physical MAC addresses, and then encrypts and stores the mapping information in the database.

[0031] Preferably, the location matching module interacts with the outside world through a query interface, which is used to query the location of the user or terminal through the query interface. On the query interface, based on the input user information or the physical MAC address of the terminal device, a matching query is performed from the database, and the associated location address information is returned to the query interface for display.

[0032] The positioning method and system based on physical MAC address and embedded positioning of the present invention have the following advantages:

[0033] 1. By acquiring the latitude and longitude information of the current location of the device through an embedded positioning chip, and associating it with the physical MAC address of the device, the information is stored in a database for query and matching, thereby achieving accurate positioning of the device.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0037] The invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a positioning method based on physical MAC address and embedded positioning, as described in Example 1. Detailed Implementation

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] This invention provides a positioning method and system based on physical MAC address and embedded positioning, which solves the technical problem of how to combine embedded positioning with physical MAC address to achieve high-precision and high-accuracy address positioning.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] This invention discloses a positioning method based on physical MAC address and embedded positioning, applicable to terminal devices equipped with embedded positioning chips, comprising the following steps:

[0043] S100. For terminal devices that need to be located, obtain the device information of the terminal device and the user information of the device user, store the device information and user information in the database, the device information includes the physical MAC address, and associate the physical MAC address of the device user with the corresponding terminal device.

[0044] S200. For terminal devices that need to be located, the location address information of the terminal device is obtained in real time based on the embedded positioning chip, the location address information, the location time and the address update time are stored in the database, and the embedded positioning chip and the physical MAC address of the corresponding terminal device are associated.

[0045] S300: When querying the location of a user or terminal device, the system performs a matching query from the database based on the user information or the physical MAC address of the terminal device to obtain the associated location address information.

[0046] In this embodiment, device information and device user information are stored in a database. Therefore, a database table with a unified format is pre-configured in the database. This table is used to store chip information, including device information, user information, and embedded positioning information. The user information includes the user's name and ID number.

[0047] For terminal devices shipped from the factory, the device information includes the device name, device code, physical MAC address, device update time, and manufacturer name; for terminal devices assigned to users, the device information also includes the device user update time, device user ID number, and device usage status.

[0048] Embedded positioning chip information includes chip code, positioning address information, positioning time, and address update time.

[0049] Correspondingly, in the database, the physical MAC address of the device user and the corresponding terminal device is associated based on the device user's ID card number, and the physical MAC address of the embedded chip and the corresponding terminal device is associated based on the chip code.

[0050] During execution, the pre-configured field standards in the database tables are provided to various hardware manufacturers and suppliers so that they can accurately upload this information when manufacturing and selling electronic devices.

[0051] For each terminal device, it is necessary to collect physical MAC addresses and user information: Manufacturers must accurately upload the physical MAC addresses to the database during device production, with the database fields being: Device Number, Physical MAC Address, Update Time, and Manufacturer Name. When suppliers sell electronic devices to others, they need to record the device sale information, with the database table fields being: User Name, User ID Number, Device Number, Device Usage Status, and Update Time.

[0052] Acquisition of embedded positioning information: During equipment manufacturing, suppliers need to install embedded positioning chips into the devices and establish a complete database containing the following fields: physical MAC address, embedded chip code, positioning address information, positioning time, and address update time. Associating the embedded chip with the physical MAC address establishes a strong link between the chip and the physical MAC address, ensuring the accuracy of the positioning.

[0053] The pre-configured database tables provide a complete data validation system, which improves the integrity and validity of business data and establishes a set of standardized data specifications for the subsequent data governance process.

[0054] Real-time location data should not be managed by enterprises. Currently, enterprise databases cannot compare with national databases in terms of security. Furthermore, this data can only be truly shared within the public security system when it is stored in the national database. Therefore, this data should be uploaded to a single national database and managed by dedicated public security personnel to ensure personal privacy while allowing the public security system to quickly retrieve relevant information when tracking illegal and criminal activities.

[0055] In this embodiment, the embedded positioning chip and the corresponding terminal device's physical MAC address are associated to form mapping information between the embedded positioning chip and the physical MAC address. This mapping information is then encrypted and stored in a database. Similarly, the device user and the corresponding terminal device's physical MAC address are associated to form mapping information between the device user and the physical MAC address. This mapping information is also encrypted and stored in a database. Confidential storage of the mapping information ensures the security of the device information.

[0056] In this embodiment, the location of a user or terminal is queried through a pre-configured query interface. On the query interface, based on the input user information or the physical MAC address of the terminal device, a matching query is performed from the database, and the associated location address information is returned to the query interface for display.

[0057] When a user needs to query the location of a person or device, they can enter the physical MAC address of the person or device they wish to query for a matching search. After retrieving the relevant fields of the person or device from the database, the system retrieves and returns the device's address. If the user remains on the page, the page's location results are refreshed every time the location time in the database is updated. This process of retrieving the device's or user's location information multiple times maintains data accuracy and facilitates law enforcement procedures.

[0058] In practice, multiple terminal devices can share a single embedded positioning chip for positioning, thereby improving system efficiency and saving costs.

[0059] As an improvement to this embodiment, for terminal devices that need to be located, after obtaining the location address information of the terminal device based on the embedded positioning chip, the location address information is preprocessed, including multiple sampling and filtering of the location address information, and the preprocessed location address information is stored in the database as the final location address information.

[0060] In this improved implementation, data processing is performed through multiple sampling and filtering, thereby improving positioning accuracy.

[0061] The method in this embodiment combines physical MAC addresses with embedded positioning, enabling high-precision and high-accuracy positioning in complex environments without MAC address tampering or requiring additional hardware support. Furthermore, because this method has low operating costs and supports multiple platforms and devices, it possesses good versatility and application prospects.

[0066] When querying the location of a user or terminal device, the location matching module is used to perform a matching query from the database based on user information or the physical MAC address of the terminal device to obtain the associated location address information.

[0067] In this embodiment, device information, device user information, and embedded chip information are all stored in a database. Therefore, a database table with a unified format is pre-configured in the database. This table is used to store device information, user information, and embedded positioning information. The user information includes the user's name and ID number.

For terminal devices, the address acquisition module collects positioning address information in real time through the embedded positioning chip and stores the positioning address information, positioning time, and address update time in the corresponding fields of the database table.

[0074] The pre-configured database tables provide a complete data validation system, which improves the integrity and validity of business data and establishes a set of standardized data specifications for the subsequent data governance process.
