Usually, geofencing relies on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to locate the location of the mobile device.

[0074] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0075] Geofencing is a location-based service technology that defines a geographic area in the physical world through virtual boundaries. When a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone) enters or leaves the geographic area defined by the geofence, the mobile device triggers a preset operation or notification. Usually, geofencing relies on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to locate the location of the mobile device. The mobile device sends a positioning request using its own GNSS positioning chip to locate the location of the mobile device. Since the GNSS positioning chip has a high power consumption, in order to reduce the power consumption of the mobile device, it is necessary to control the frequency of the mobile device sending positioning requests.

[0076] Therefore, in order to solve the problems existing in the related art, the present disclosure proposes a method for controlling a positioning request, which obtains a first wireless beacon around a mobile device in a current scanning cycle, and obtains a second wireless beacon around the mobile device in a calibration scanning cycle; the calibration scanning cycle is the first scanning cycle after the mobile device last switched its motion state, the first wireless beacon includes at least one wireless beacon, the second wireless beacon includes at least one wireless beacon, and different wireless beacons are identification information of different types of wireless devices; according to the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon, the motion state of the mobile device is determined; when the motion state meets a preset condition, the mobile device is controlled to stop sending a positioning request.

[0077] In this solution, when the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions, the mobile device no longer sends a positioning request, but stops sending positioning requests, so that the GNSS positioning chip of the mobile device is in a standby state, reducing the power consumption of the GNSS positioning chip; and whether the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions is determined based on the first wireless beacon around the mobile device in the current scanning cycle, and the second wireless beacon around the mobile device in the calibration scanning cycle. The power consumption of the mobile device for wireless beacon scanning is much lower than the power consumption of the GNSS positioning chip. This method can further reduce the power consumption of the mobile device. In summary, the present disclosure determines whether the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions based on the wireless beacon, and controls the mobile device to stop sending positioning requests when the motion state meets the preset conditions. Compared with the prior art, the power consumption of the mobile device is greatly reduced.

[0090] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling a positioning request provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method can be applicable to application scenarios such as smart terminals, for example, executed by a terminal with an integrated positioning function or a processor in the terminal, or executed by other devices suitable for controlling positioning requests, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Figure 1 As shown, the method for controlling the positioning request includes steps 101-103.

[0091] Step 101, obtaining a first wireless beacon around a mobile device in a current scanning cycle, and obtaining a second wireless beacon around a mobile device in a calibration scanning cycle; the calibration scanning cycle is the first scanning cycle after the mobile device last switched motion states, the first wireless beacon includes at least one wireless beacon, the second wireless beacon includes at least one wireless beacon, and different wireless beacons are identification information of different types of wireless devices.

[0092] Mobile devices refer to portable electronic devices that can perform location positioning and wireless communication, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, and laptops. Wireless beacons refer to the identification information of wireless signal transmitters. Wireless signal transmitters contain wireless beacons in the wireless signals they transmit. Each wireless signal transmitter has only unique corresponding identification information. Wireless beacons include but are not limited to Bluetooth, WIFI, Cell, Ultra Wide Band (UWB), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and Zigbee.

[0093] The wireless beacon scanning module in the mobile device scans the wireless beacons around the mobile device by calling the wireless communication chip in the mobile device for receiving and processing wireless signals. However, it should be clear that this statement is not intended to limit the method of scanning the wireless beacons around the mobile device to the above method, and it can also be achieved by other methods.

[0094] Exemplarily, switching the motion state refers to switching from a preset first motion state to a preset second motion state or from a preset second motion state to a preset first motion state. However, it should be clear that this statement is not intended to limit the switching motion state to only switching between the preset first motion state and the preset second motion state. It can also be switched between other motion states. If the mobile device starts the scanning cycle for the first time to scan the wireless beacon, since there is no switching motion state at the first startup, the first scanning cycle of the first startup scanning cycle is determined as the calibration scanning cycle; wherein, the motion state in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes but is not limited to a preset first motion state and a preset second motion state. The preset first motion state is a state in which the mobile device is within the coverage range of the same wireless beacon in at least two consecutive scanning cycles, and the preset second motion state is a state in which the mobile device is not within the coverage range of the same wireless beacon in at least two consecutive scanning cycles. Since the coverage range of the wireless beacon is limited, when the mobile device is in the preset first motion state, the displacement of the mobile device does not change much. It can be determined that the mobile device only moves within the limited coverage range of the wireless beacon, that is, the mobile device is in a small range of movement state. The small range of movement state means that the mobile device moves or is absolutely stationary in a relatively small area, and its position does not change much. For example, a user walks around the room or shifts slightly in their seat.

[0095] The wireless beacon may contain the regional attribute information of the location of the mobile device. The wireless beacon can be used as a marker of the regional attribute of the location of the mobile device, which helps to determine the attribute area of ​​the mobile device and push the content of the relevant attribute area to the mobile device. For example, suppose a shopping mall contains multiple wireless beacons, the wireless beacon in the clothing area contains the clothing area attribute information, the wireless beacon in the food area contains the food area attribute information, and the wireless beacon in the electronic product area contains the electronic product area attribute information.

[0096] Step 102: Determine the motion state of the mobile device according to the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the motion state of the mobile device can be determined according to the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon by determining the motion state of the mobile device according to the consistency of the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon, wherein the consistency of the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon does not mean that the wireless beacons included in the first wireless beacon are exactly the same as the wireless beacons included in the second wireless beacon, but means that before the second wireless beacon selects a preset comparison number of wireless beacons as wireless beacons to be compared in signal strength ranking, as long as the wireless beacons to be compared all have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, it is determined that the first wireless beacon is consistent with the second wireless beacon; if at least one wireless beacon in the wireless beacons to be compared does not have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, it is determined that the first wireless beacon is inconsistent with the second wireless beacon; wherein the preset comparison number is an arbitrary value, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the value of the preset comparison number.

[0098] Exemplarily, assume that the first wireless beacon contains 5 wireless beacons, namely a, b, c, d, and e, and the second wireless beacon contains 3 wireless beacons, namely a, c, and f. Among them, in the second wireless beacon, the signal strength of a is the largest, the signal strength of c is the second, and the signal strength of f is the smallest. The preset comparison number is 2, then the wireless beacons to be compared are a and c. Since a and c in the second wireless beacon exist in the first wireless beacon, it is determined that the first wireless beacon is consistent with the second wireless beacon.

[0099] In some embodiments, the difference between the signal strength of the wireless beacon to be compared in the second wireless beacon and the signal strength of the wireless beacon to be compared in the first wireless beacon cannot exceed a preset threshold. If the difference between the signal strength of at least one wireless beacon to be compared in the second wireless beacon and the signal strength of the wireless beacon identical to the wireless beacon to be compared in the first wireless beacon is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, even if the wireless beacons to be compared in the second wireless beacon all have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, it is determined that the first wireless beacon is inconsistent with the second wireless beacon; only if the wireless beacons to be compared in the second wireless beacon all have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, and the difference between the signal strength of all the wireless beacons to be compared in the second wireless beacon and the signal strength of the wireless beacon identical to the corresponding wireless beacon to be compared in the first wireless beacon is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that the first wireless beacon is consistent with the second wireless beacon; wherein the preset threshold can be any value, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the specific value of the preset threshold.

[0100] Exemplarily, assume that the wireless beacons to be compared with the second wireless beacon are a and c, where the signal strength of a in the second wireless beacon is 10, and the signal strength of c in the second wireless beacon is 8. There is a wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon that is the same as the wireless beacon to be compared, where the signal strength of a in the first wireless beacon is 8, and the signal strength of c is 5. The preset threshold is 4. Since 10-8 and 8-5 are both less than 4, it is determined that the first wireless beacon is consistent with the second wireless beacon.

[0101] If the first wireless beacon is consistent with the second wireless beacon, it is determined that the mobile device is in a preset first motion state; if the first wireless beacon is inconsistent with the second wireless beacon, it is determined that the mobile device is in a preset second motion state.

[0102] The mobile device can determine the motion state of the mobile device without using a GNSS positioning chip. The power consumption of the wireless communication chip that scans the wireless beacon is less than that of the GNSS positioning chip, which can reduce the power consumption of the mobile device.

[0103] Step 103: When the motion state meets a preset condition, control the mobile device to stop sending a positioning request.

[0104] Positioning requests include but are not limited to GNSS positioning requests, base station positioning requests and WiFi positioning requests, wherein a GNSS positioning request refers to a positioning request sent by a mobile device to a positioning satellite system for obtaining its own location information. Positioning satellite systems include but are not limited to the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), the GLONASS (GLONASS), the Global Positioning System (GPS), and the Galileo Satellite Navigation System (GSNS). When the mobile device is in a preset first motion state, the position change of the mobile device is not obvious. At this time, it is not meaningful to obtain the location information of the mobile device by sending a positioning request. By stopping sending positioning requests, the energy consumption of the mobile device can be reduced and the battery life of the mobile device can be extended.

[0105] According to the positioning request control method proposed in the present disclosure, when the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions, the mobile device no longer sends a positioning request, but stops sending a positioning request, so that the GNSS positioning chip of the mobile device is in a standby state, reducing the power consumption of the GNSS positioning chip; and whether the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions is determined based on the first wireless beacon around the mobile device in the current scanning cycle, and the second wireless beacon around the mobile device in the calibration scanning cycle. The power consumption of the mobile device for wireless beacon scanning is much lower than the power consumption of the GNSS positioning chip. This method can further reduce the power consumption of the mobile device. In summary, the present disclosure determines whether the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions based on the wireless beacon, and controls the mobile device to stop sending positioning requests when the motion state meets the preset conditions. Compared with the prior art, the power consumption of the mobile device is greatly reduced.

[0106] In order to better understand how to determine the motion state of the mobile device according to the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon, Figure 2 The following further shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a positioning request proposed by the present disclosure. Figure 1 The embodiment shown further explains step 102. Figure 2 The following steps may be included:

[0107] Step 201: Determine whether the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is consistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon.

[0108] In practical applications, due to the high reliance of modern society on electronic products, a large number of electronic products will emit wireless beacons, such as Bluetooth devices, routers, base stations, etc. The first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon may both contain a large number of wireless beacons. In order to improve the efficiency of determining the consistency between the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon, whether a preset number of wireless beacons with high signal strength rankings in the second wireless beacon exist in the first wireless beacon can be used as a criterion for determining the consistency between the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon.

[0109] Step 202: If the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is consistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon, it is determined that the motion state of the mobile device is a preset first motion state; the preset first motion state is a state in which the mobile device is within the coverage range of the same wireless beacon in at least two consecutive scanning cycles.

[0110] Indoors or in complex urban environments, GNSS signals may be blocked or interfered with, resulting in inaccurate positioning. Wireless beacons are usually more reliable in indoor or complex urban environments. Therefore, comparing wireless beacon sets to determine the motion state of mobile devices can be used as an effective supplementary positioning method to meet the needs of different environments.

[0111] In some embodiments, when performing the determination of whether the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is consistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon, it can be implemented in the following manner but not limited to: Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0112] Step 301: Determine a wireless beacon to be compared in the second wireless beacon for wireless beacon consistency comparison according to the signal strength of the wireless beacon and a preset comparison number for wireless beacon comparison.

[0113] The wireless beacon to be compared refers to at least one wireless beacon selected from the second wireless beacon for consistency comparison with the wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon. In actual applications, the wireless beacons in the second wireless beacon are screened by the signal strength of the wireless beacon and the preset comparison threshold, and the wireless beacons to be compared for consistency comparison of the wireless beacons are screened. This can reduce the number of wireless beacons for consistency comparison between the first wireless beacon and the second wireless beacon, thereby improving the efficiency of wireless beacon comparison.

[0114] Step 302: Compare the wireless beacon to be compared with the wireless beacons included in the first wireless beacon.

[0115] If the wireless beacons to be compared all have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, step 303 is executed; if at least one wireless beacon included in the wireless beacon to be compared does not have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, step 304 is executed.

[0116] Step 303: Determine whether the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is consistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon.

[0117] Step 304: Determine that the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is inconsistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon.

[0118] Exemplarily, assuming that the second wireless beacon contains two wireless beacons, namely g and h, and the preset comparison number is 3, then g and h are both wireless beacons to be compared, and the first wireless beacon contains four wireless beacons, namely g, i, j, and k. Although the g in the second wireless beacon has the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, the h in the second wireless beacon does not have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, so at least one wireless beacon contained in the wireless beacon to be compared does not have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon. Therefore, it is determined that the wireless beacons contained in the first wireless beacon are inconsistent with the wireless beacons contained in the second wireless beacon.

[0119] In some embodiments, when determining the wireless beacon to be compared in the second wireless beacon for wireless beacon consistency comparison based on the signal strength of the wireless beacon and the preset comparison number for wireless beacon comparison, it can be implemented in but not limited to the following ways, such as Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0120] Step 401: Acquire the number of wireless beacons included in the second wireless beacon and the first signal strength of each wireless beacon.

[0121] Step 402: compare the beacon quantity with the preset comparison quantity.

[0122] If the number of beacons is greater than the preset comparison number, step 403 is executed; if the number of beacons is less than or equal to the preset comparison number, step 404 is executed.

[0123] Step 403: selecting the preset comparison number of wireless beacons from the second wireless beacons in descending order of the first signal strengths as the wireless beacons to be compared.

[0124] By selecting wireless beacons with high signal strength for comparison, the accuracy of the comparison can be improved. Beacons with high signal strength generally represent more stable and reliable signals, so their consistency comparison results are more reliable.

[0125] Step 404: determine all the wireless beacons included in the second wireless beacon as the wireless beacons to be compared.

[0126] Exemplarily, assuming that the second wireless beacon includes three wireless beacons and the preset comparison quantity is four, the three wireless beacons included in the second wireless beacon are all determined as wireless beacons to be compared.

[0127] Signal strengths of wireless beacons and a preset number of comparisons can help limit the comparison range of wireless beacons and avoid comparing all wireless beacons one by one, which can save computing resources and time, especially when there are a large number of wireless beacons.

[0128] In practical applications, the consistency of wireless beacons includes the consistency of signal strength of wireless beacons. After the wireless beacons to be compared all have the same wireless beacon in the first wireless beacon, it is necessary to compare the consistency between the first signal strength of the compared wireless beacon and the second signal strength of the wireless beacon to be compared, so as to determine whether the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is consistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon. The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides the following supplementary solution description. Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0129] Step 501: Obtain a second signal strength of a wireless beacon in the first wireless beacons that is the same as the wireless beacon to be compared.

[0130] Signal strength refers to the strength of a wireless beacon emitted by a wireless signal transmitter when received by a mobile device. Signal strength is often used to measure the quality or strength of a wireless beacon. Higher signal strength generally means better signal quality and stronger signal reception, while lower signal strength may indicate poor signal quality or signal interference. Changes in signal strength may reflect changes in the environment, such as the presence of obstacles, increased signal interference, etc. By comparing signal strengths, these environmental changes can be detected.

[0131] Step 502: Compare the first signal strength of the wireless beacon to be compared with the corresponding second signal strength.

[0132] Exemplarily, assuming that there are two wireless beacons to be compared in the second wireless beacon, namely l and m, and the same wireless beacons, namely l and m, exist in the first wireless beacon. The signal strength of l in the second wireless beacon is compared with the signal strength of l in the first wireless beacon, and the signal strength of m in the second wireless beacon is compared with the signal strength of m in the first wireless beacon.

[0133] The stability of signal strength can be used as an important basis for inferring the status of a mobile device. If the signal strength remains stable, the mobile device may be stationary or moving only within a very small range. Conversely, if the signal strength changes significantly, it may indicate that the mobile device has moved to a new location.

[0134] When the difference between the first signal strength of the wireless beacon to be compared and the corresponding second signal strength is less than a preset threshold, step 503 is executed; when the difference between the first signal strength of the wireless beacon to be compared and the corresponding second signal strength is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, step 504 is executed.

[0135] Step 503: Execute the determination that the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is consistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon.

[0136] The preset threshold value may be any value, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the value range of the preset threshold value.

[0137] Exemplarily, assuming that the first signal strength is 10, the second signal strength is 8, and the preset threshold is 3, it is determined that the wireless beacons included in the first wireless beacon are consistent with the wireless beacons included in the second wireless beacon.

[0138] By setting a reasonable preset threshold, the misjudgment caused by signal fluctuations or random noise of wireless beacons can be reduced, and the accuracy of wireless beacon comparison can be improved.

[0139] Step 504: Determine that the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is inconsistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon.

[0140] Exemplarily, assuming that the first signal strength is 11, the second signal strength is 7, and the preset threshold is 2, it is determined that the wireless beacons included in the first wireless beacon are inconsistent with the wireless beacons included in the second wireless beacon.

[0141] The difference between the first signal strength and the corresponding second signal strength being greater than or equal to the preset threshold generally means that the mobile device moves over a larger range, which helps to determine whether the mobile device has left the original location area.

[0142] In actual applications, the mobile device may be in other motion states besides the preset first motion state. In order to further understand the other motion states of the mobile device, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides the following supplementary solution description. Figure 6 As shown, including:

[0143] Step 601: If the wireless beacon included in the first wireless beacon is inconsistent with the wireless beacon included in the second wireless beacon, it is determined that the motion state of the mobile device is a preset second motion state; the preset second motion state is a state in which the mobile device is not within the coverage range of the same wireless beacon in at least two consecutive scanning cycles.

[0144] Due to the limited coverage of wireless beacons, when a mobile device is in the preset second motion state, the displacement of the mobile device changes greatly, that is, the mobile device is in a large-scale mobile state. The large-scale mobile state means that the device has experienced a large position change, which exceeds the signal coverage range of the original wireless beacon or the change in reception conditions, resulting in a large difference in signal strength or loss of signal strength. Some applications may need to adjust their functions according to the motion state of the mobile device. For example, when the mobile device moves over a large range, some background services may be suspended or adjusted to save power.

[0145] Step 602: When the motion state is the preset second motion state, control the mobile device to send the positioning request.

[0146] When a mobile device moves in a large area, the positioning error may increase significantly. By sending a positioning request, you can obtain accurate positioning information of the mobile device and reduce the positioning error.

[0147] As a refinement of step 103, when the motion state satisfies a preset condition, the mobile device is controlled to stop sending the positioning request, which can be implemented in the following manner but not limited to: when the motion state is the preset first motion state, the mobile device is controlled to stop sending the positioning request. Frequent positioning requests will increase the burden on the mobile network, especially in dense user areas. By reducing unnecessary positioning requests, network pressure can be reduced and network efficiency can be improved.

[0148] In order to better understand the entire process of controlling the positioning request, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides the following supplementary solution description: Figure 7 As shown, including:

[0149] Step 701, initialize the geo-fence function of the mobile device, obtain the initial location information of the mobile device, and store the customized geo-fence area and its boundary conditions in the mobile device.

[0150] The initial location of the mobile device is obtained through the GNSS positioning chip built into the mobile device. According to the predefined geographic fence radius and center point, this area is defined as the trigger condition, the GNSS positioning chip is started, and the movement trajectory of the mobile device is monitored in the background.

[0151] Step 702: dynamically adjust the frequency of sending positioning requests according to the distance between the mobile device and the boundary of the geo-fence.

[0152] When the mobile device is far away from the geo-fence, the frequency of sending positioning requests is reduced to reduce device power consumption; as the mobile device gradually approaches the boundary of the geo-fence, the frequency of sending positioning requests is gradually increased to improve the positioning accuracy of the mobile device and ensure timely response to the triggering events of the geo-fence.

[0153] Step 703, monitoring the motion state of the mobile device; the motion state includes a preset first motion state and a preset second motion state;

[0154] Start the wireless beacon scanning module, scan the wireless beacons around the mobile device, and record the wireless beacons; if the mobile device scans the same wireless beacon in two adjacent scanning cycles and the signal strength is stable, it is determined that the device is in a preset first motion state; if the mobile device does not scan the same wireless beacon in two adjacent scanning cycles, or the difference between the signal strengths of the scanned same wireless beacons is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, it is determined that the mobile device is in a preset second motion state; wherein, the absolute stillness in the preset first motion state can also be determined by whether the acceleration measured by the built-in accelerometer or gyroscope sensor of the mobile device is zero. If it is determined that the acceleration of the mobile device is zero, it is determined that the mobile device is in the preset first motion state.

[0155] When it is determined that the mobile device is in the preset first motion state, it means that the mobile device is active within the coverage of the same wireless beacon. In order to better understand the coverage of the wireless beacon and the coverage of the geographic fence, Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 A display diagram of a geographic fence and a wireless beacon coverage provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, in Figure 8 In the present embodiment, since there is still a moving distance between the coverage range of the wireless beacon and the geographic fence, the relevant triggering events of the geographic fence of the mobile device cannot be triggered. Therefore, there is no need to send a positioning request.

[0156] Step 704: When it is determined that the mobile device is in a preset first motion state, control the mobile device to stop sending positioning requests.

[0157] Step 705: When it is determined that the mobile device switches from the preset first motion state to the preset second motion state, the mobile device is resumed from sending a positioning request.

[0158] Corresponding to the above-mentioned location request control method, the present invention also provides a location request control device. Since the device embodiment of the present invention corresponds to the above-mentioned method embodiment, the details not disclosed in the device embodiment can be referred to the above-mentioned method embodiment, and will not be repeated in the present invention.

[0163] According to the control device for positioning request proposed in the present disclosure, when the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions, the mobile device no longer sends a positioning request, but stops sending the positioning request, so that the GNSS positioning chip of the mobile device is in a standby state, reducing the power consumption of the GNSS positioning chip; and whether the motion state of the mobile device meets the preset conditions is determined based on the first wireless beacon around the mobile device in the current scanning cycle, and the second wireless beacon around the mobile device in the calibration scanning cycle. The power consumption of the mobile device for wireless beacon scanning is much lower than the power consumption of the GNSS positioning chip. This method can further reduce the power consumption of the mobile device.
