[0032] Example 1

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present application, a positioning punch-in method is also provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0034] This application provides Figure 1The positioning punching method is applied to a positioning punching system, which at least includes a target locator and a terminal device. Figure 1 : is a flow chart of a positioning punch-in method according to Embodiment 1 of the present application. The positioning punch-in method comprises:

[0035] Step S101, when a positioning punch-in operation of a target object is detected through the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator, a positioning punch-in request is sent to a target application in a terminal device through a communication module of the target locator.

[0036] Optionally, the positioning punching method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a positioning punching system, which includes a target locator and a terminal device. It should be noted that the terminal device can be a device such as a user's mobile phone, and a corresponding application is installed in the terminal device, and the application can interact with the target locator for data. A pressure-sensitive button is provided on the target locator. The user can trigger the positioning punching operation through the pressure-sensitive button. For example, when the user is inconvenient to operate the mobile phone, the user can directly press the pressure-sensitive button on the target locator.

[0037] When the target object's positioning punch-in operation is detected by the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator, a positioning punch-in request is sent to the target application in the terminal device through the communication module of the target locator. For example, a recording location request can be sent to the APP (i.e., the above-mentioned target application) by clicking the target locator button.

[0038] Step S102: When the target application receives the location check-in request, the target application performs location check-in on the target map based on the location check-in request.

[0039] Optionally, when the target application receives a location check-in request, the target application performs location check-in on the target map based on the location check-in request, that is, after receiving the request, the APP updates the location on the map in real time and responds to the request to complete the location check-in.

[0040] To summarize, when the user needs to punch in, he can directly press the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator. The pressure-sensitive button of the target locator detects the user's punch-in operation, and then directly sends the punch-in request to the target application in the terminal device through the communication module of the target locator. The target application punches in on the target map based on the punch-in request. Through the above steps, you only need to simply trigger the locator, and the target application can automatically perform the punch-in, avoiding direct operation of the target application in the terminal device, and improving the efficiency of the punch-in and the user experience.

[0041] Optionally, in the positioning punch-in method provided in Example 1 of the present application, positioning punch-in on a target map based on a positioning punch-in request through a target application includes: when the target application receives the positioning punch-in request, obtaining the location information of the terminal device through the target application; generating a target identifier on the target map based on the location information through the target application to complete the positioning punch-in.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the target application performs a location check-in on the target map based on the location check-in request, including the following steps: when the target application receives the location check-in request, the target application directly obtains the location information of the terminal device, and then the target application generates a target identifier on the target map based on the location information to complete the location check-in. For example, after the APP receives the request, the user's location point on the APP map will display an "Up load Entry" bubble. It should be noted that the user can also fill in the content in the "Up load Entry" to display a unique location check-in identifier.

[0043] Optionally, in the positioning punch-in method provided in Example 1 of the present application, before sending a positioning punch-in request to a target application in a terminal device through a communication module of the target locator, the method further includes: detecting whether a target charge is generated through a pressure-sensitive button to obtain a detection result; when the detection result indicates that a target charge is generated, determining that a positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected; when the detection result indicates that no target charge is generated, determining that no positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, before sending a positioning punch-in request to a target application in a terminal device through a communication module of the target locator, the following steps are also included: the pressure-sensitive key in the target locator can determine whether the user has triggered a pressing operation by detecting whether a target charge is generated, that is, detecting whether a target charge is generated through the pressure-sensitive key to obtain a detection result. If the detection result indicates that a target charge is generated, it is determined that a positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected. If the detection result indicates that no target charge is generated, it is determined that no positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected.

[0045] The pressure-sensitive buttons in the target locator can accurately and quickly detect whether the positioning punch-in operation is triggered.

[0046] Optionally, in the positioning punch-in method provided in Example 1 of the present application, sending a positioning punch-in request to a target application in a terminal device through the communication module of the target locator includes: when a positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected through the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator, sending a signal corresponding to the positioning punch-in operation to the communication module based on a serial communication bus through the pressure-sensitive button; when the communication module receives the signal corresponding to the positioning punch-in operation, sending a positioning punch-in request to the target application in the terminal device through the communication module.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the communication module of the target locator sends a positioning punch-in request to the target application in the terminal device, including the following steps: when the positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected by the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator, the pressure-sensitive button sends a signal corresponding to the positioning punch-in operation to the communication module based on the serial communication bus. It should be noted that the communication module can be a Bluetooth main control module. The Bluetooth main control module is connected to the terminal device through low-power Bluetooth BLE to realize data transmission and reception, that is, when the communication module receives the signal corresponding to the positioning punch-in operation, the Bluetooth main control module sends a positioning punch-in request to the target application in the terminal device through low-power Bluetooth (BLE) technology.

[0048] Optionally, in the positioning punch-in method provided in Example 1 of the present application, before sending a positioning punch-in request to a target application in a terminal device through the communication module of the target locator, the method further includes: searching for wireless signal broadcasts within a preset range through the target application to obtain multiple wireless signal broadcasts and an ID identifier of the locator corresponding to each wireless signal broadcast, wherein the wireless signal broadcast is issued by the communication module of the locator; determining, through the target application, a target wireless signal broadcast and a target ID identifier of the target locator corresponding to the target wireless signal broadcast from multiple wireless signal broadcasts; and sending a matching request to the target locator based on the target ID identifier through the target application to complete the communication connection between the target locator and the target application.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, before the communication module sends a positioning punch-in request to the target application in the terminal device, the target locator can be powered on by long pressing the button on the target locator, and the locator will immediately turn on the BLE broadcast (i.e., the wireless signal broadcast mentioned above). Then the target application is turned on, and the target application searches for wireless signal broadcasts within a preset range to obtain multiple wireless signal broadcasts and the ID of the locator corresponding to each wireless signal broadcast. The target application can determine the target wireless signal broadcast and the target ID of the target locator corresponding to the target wireless signal broadcast from multiple wireless signal broadcasts based on the signal strength of the wireless signal broadcast. Finally, the target application sends a matching request to the target locator based on the target ID to complete the communication connection between the target locator and the target application.

[0050] When the user turns on the locator, the locator will turn on the BLE broadcast and automatically enter the pairing mode. At the same time, just open the APP on the phone, and the application will automatically start scanning the surrounding locator devices. This process does not require any manual operation by the user, achieving true automation and convenience. To ensure the stability and accuracy of the connection, the APP has designed an intelligent selection mechanism. When multiple locators are scanned, the APP will automatically select the strongest locator for connection based on the signal strength. This means that the user will always stay connected to the locator that is closest and has the strongest signal, thereby obtaining the best positioning effect.

[0051] Optionally, in the positioning check-in method provided in Example 1 of the present application, after performing positioning check-in on the target map based on the positioning check-in request through the target application, the method further includes: triggering a first instruction to the target locator through the target application; after the target locator receives the first instruction, the annular light strip of the target locator flashes at a first frequency, and the motor of the target locator vibrates at a second frequency to prompt that the positioning check-in of the target object has been completed.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, after the target application performs a location check-in on the target map based on the location check-in request, the target application triggers a first instruction to the target locator, and after the target locator receives the first instruction, the annular light belt of the target locator flashes at a first frequency, and the motor of the target locator vibrates at a second frequency to prompt that the location check-in of the target object has been completed. For example, after the target locator receives the first instruction, the annular light belt flashes 3 times and the motor vibrates 3 times.

[0053] The target locator's ring light strip and motor flash and vibrate to quickly remind the user that the location check-in has been successful, eliminating the need for the user to check the APP to confirm whether the check-in has been successful.

[0054] Optionally, in the positioning check-in method provided in Example 1 of the present application, after positioning and checking in are performed on the target map based on the positioning check-in request through the target application, the method also includes: when a search operation of the target object is detected through the target application, detecting the connection status with the target locator through the target application; if the connection status is connected, triggering a second instruction to the target locator through the target application; after the target locator receives the second instruction, flashing the annular light strip of the target locator at a third frequency, and vibrating the motor of the target locator at a fourth frequency to prompt the target object of the target locator.

[0055] If the connection state is disconnected, the target location information recorded when the target locator and the target application are disconnected is searched from the storage area through the target application; and the target location information is displayed in the target interface through the target application.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, when the target locator is lost, it can be retrieved by the following steps: when the search operation of the target object is detected by the target application, first determine whether the target application and the target locator are still connected. If they are still connected, the target application triggers a second instruction to the target locator. After the target locator receives the second instruction, the annular light strip of the target locator flashes at a third frequency, and the motor of the target locator vibrates at a fourth frequency to prompt the target object of the target locator. For example, after receiving the instruction sent by the target application, the locator will immediately vibrate and flash specific lights. This multi-sensory stimulation (visual and tactile) can help users quickly locate the position of the locator in complex or chaotic environments.

[0057] During normal use, the target application will automatically record the location each time it connects or disconnects with the locator. If the connection between the target application and the target locator is disconnected, the target application can search the storage area for the target location information recorded when the target locator and the target application were last disconnected, and then display the target location information in the target interface. Based on these records, users can trace back to the location where the locator last appeared, increasing the chance of retrieving the locator.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, it is common to lose items, such as keys, wallets, etc. Therefore, the locator can also be bound to the item. When the user finds that the item may be lost nearby, he only needs to open the positioning APP on the mobile phone and send instructions to the locator through the APP, and the locator will start to perform the retrieval operation. After receiving the instructions sent by the APP, the locator will immediately vibrate and flash specific lights. This multi-sensory stimulation (visual and tactile) can help users quickly locate lost items in complex or chaotic environments.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, when the locator itself is lost, the APP can be opened to view the last location record of the locator. Based on these records, the user can trace back to the location where the locator last appeared, increasing the chance of finding the locator.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the locator uses the JL697 Bluetooth chip as the main controller, and realizes data transmission and communication with the mobile phone through low-power Bluetooth (BLE) technology; and realizes interaction with the user through peripheral pressure-sensitive buttons, RGB ring light strips, and vibration motors. Figure 2As shown in the figure, the locator is mainly composed of software layer and hardware layer. The hardware layer includes JL697 Bluetooth main control and pressure-sensitive button module. Ring-shaped LED light strip; in the software layer, the Bluetooth main control is connected to the mobile phone through BLE to realize data transmission and reception. The pressure-sensitive button module is connected to the Bluetooth main control through the IIC serial communication bus to realize press-related actions. The vibration motor and the ring-shaped LED light strip are precisely controlled through PWM pulse width modulation to achieve visual and tactile interaction with the user. When the user needs to update the current location, he can send a record location request to the APP by clicking the locator button. After the APP receives the request, the user's location point on the APP map will display the "Up load Entry" bubble, and the locator updates the light status to flash 3 times and vibrate 3 times to indicate that the request is successful.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the schematic diagram of the positioner is as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioner includes: a button decorative sheet, a lower cover, a light guide plate, a pressure rod silicone, a pressure rod FPC, a PCB board, a vibration motor, a battery holder, a battery and an upper cover.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the target application corresponding to the locator can provide registration and login, and after registration, a character can be selected as the character image and avatar. Task challenges can also be provided in the target application, such as sports tasks. If the locator is online, the target application will be linked with the locator, and the device will vibrate feedback. The target application and the locator can provide location check-in. Long press the button on the locator to turn on the APP, and the APP will automatically search for BLE connection. After the connection is successful, the device name and power are displayed. Click the device information bar to display the detailed information of the device. Click the button on the locator, and the user's location point on the APP map will display the "Up load Entry" bubble. Click "Up load Entry" to fill in the title content and record the checked-in location on the map. The target application can also display selected excellent articles to heal the mood. And record daily mood. You can publish a diary and set the mood color and picture. If the locator is online, the APP will be linked with the locator, and the mood color will be synchronized on the locator.

[0063] In the positioning punch-in method provided in the first embodiment of the present application, when the positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected by the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator, the positioning punch-in request is sent to the target application in the terminal device through the communication module of the target locator; when the target application receives the positioning punch-in request, the positioning punch-in is performed on the target map based on the positioning punch-in request by the target application, which solves the technical problem that the positioning punch-in efficiency is relatively low in the related art that the positioning punch-in needs to be performed by operating the application in the smart device. In this solution, when the user needs to position the punch-in, the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator can be directly pressed, and the user's positioning punch-in operation can be detected by the pressure-sensitive button of the target locator, and then the positioning punch-in request is directly sent to the target application in the terminal device through the communication module of the target locator, and the target application performs positioning punch-in on the target map based on the positioning punch-in request. Through the above steps, the locator can be simply triggered, and the target application can automatically perform positioning punch-in, avoiding direct operation of the target application in the terminal device, and improving the efficiency of positioning punch-in and the user's experience.

[0064] It should be noted that, for the aforementioned method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the present application is not limited by the described order of actions, because according to the present application, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present application.

[0065] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods of each embodiment of the present application.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present application, a positioning punching device for implementing the above positioning punching method is also provided. Figure 5 As shown, the device includes: a first sending unit 501 and a processing unit 502.

[0068] The first sending unit 501 is used to send a positioning punch-in request to a target application in the terminal device through the communication module of the target locator when a positioning punch-in operation of the target object is detected through the pressure-sensitive key of the target locator;

[0069] The processing unit 502 is used for performing positioning punch-in on the target map based on the positioning punch-in request through the target application when the target application receives the positioning punch-in request.

[0075] Optionally, in the positioning check-in device provided in Example 2 of the present application, the device also includes: a first trigger unit, which is used to trigger a first instruction to the target locator through the target application after the positioning check-in is performed on the target map based on the positioning check-in request through the target application; a first vibration unit, which is used to flash the annular light strip of the target locator at a first frequency and vibrate at a second frequency through the motor of the target locator after the target locator receives the first instruction, so as to prompt that the positioning check-in of the target object has been completed.

[0076] Optionally, in the positioning check-in device provided in Example 2 of the present application, the device also includes: a detection unit, which is used to detect the connection status with the target locator through the target application when a search operation of the target object is detected through the target application after positioning check-in is performed on the target map based on the positioning check-in request through the target application; a second trigger unit, which is used to trigger a second instruction to the target locator through the target application if the connection status is connected; and a second vibration unit, which is used to flash the annular light strip of the target locator at a third frequency and vibrate at a fourth frequency through the motor of the target locator after the target locator receives the second instruction, so as to prompt the target object of the target locator.

[0077] Optionally, in the positioning punch-in device provided in Example 2 of the present application, the device also includes: a checking unit, which is used to, after detecting the connection status with the target locator through the target application, if the connection status is disconnected, search the storage area through the target application for the target location information recorded when the target locator is disconnected from the target application; and a display unit, which is used to display the target location information on the target interface through the target application.
