[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "initial," "intermediate," "candidate," "alternate," "target," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a location information determination device provided by the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to low-cost, long-life, and high-precision location information determination devices. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The device includes: a data generation module 1, a processing module 2, and a positioning and transmission module 3, wherein the processing module 2 is connected to the data generation module 1 and the positioning and transmission module 3 respectively.

[0037] The processing module is used to send a device location information reporting instruction to the positioning transmission module when the data reporting conditions are met at the current moment or when a data reporting instruction is received from the data generation module. The positioning transmission module is used to send measurement signals to at least two base stations when it receives the device location information reporting instruction. Based on the location information of at least two base stations, the time and signal strength at which the measurement signals are received by at least two base stations, the location information determines the device's location data, and sends the device identifier and location data of the device to the device management server.

[0038] The data generation module can be understood as the triggering component for data reporting tasks from location-determining devices. When triggering a data reporting task, this module carries the trigger type, including but not limited to restart reporting, proactive reporting, and detachment reporting. Restart reporting is triggered after the device restarts; proactive reporting is triggered by the user; and detachment reporting is triggered when the location-determining device leaves the equipment requiring location management. Equipment requiring location management includes fixed assets in industrial production environments such as machinery, molds, and tooling fixtures. The location-determining device is fixed to the machinery, mold, or tooling fixture and moves with it, used to report the real-time position of the machinery, mold, or tooling fixture periodically or irregularly. The processing module can be understood as a component with data processing and component control capabilities, such as a microcontroller, microprocessor unit (MCU), or programmable logic controller. This module can input control programs via serial port, enabling the location information determining device to perform data reporting tasks at certain time intervals or with specific control information (e.g., changes in voltage or current information at the test point). The processing module's control can be timed data reporting. Meeting the data reporting conditions at the current moment can be understood as the current time being the data reporting time; for example, the time interval from the previous data reporting time being a pre-set duration, changes in voltage or current information at the test point, etc. Data reporting instructions are triggered by the data generation module, such as active reporting instructions, restart reporting instructions, and anti-drop reporting instructions. The device location information reporting command instructs the positioning transmission module to determine its current location and, after determining the location information, send the determined location information to the data management device (i.e., the device management server). The data generation module of this invention includes an active reporting unit and an anti-drop processing unit. The active reporting unit generates an active reporting instruction or a restart reporting instruction based on signals sent by the user. The anti-drop processing unit generates an anti-drop reporting instruction when the location information determining device leaves the mechanical equipment, mold, or tooling fixture.

[0039] The measurement signal is a detection signal sent by the positioning transmission module. This invention's positioning transmission module can determine location using fourth-generation mobile communication technology (4G). Specifically, based on the measurement signal propagation time (ToA), trilateration positioning is used to obtain the time difference of arrival (TDoA) and hyperbolic position of the measurement signal reaching different base stations. This is combined with the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and a distance relationship model to estimate the location information and determine the relative distance between the device and each base station. Further combining this with the location information of each base station yields the device's location information. This method typically achieves an accuracy of tens to hundreds of meters, offering high positioning accuracy and minimal environmental influence.

[0040] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another location information determination device provided by the present invention. The silicone button in the figure can be understood as an active reporting unit. The active reporting unit and the anti-drop processing unit are connected to the processing module through input / output (IO) ports. The processing module is connected to the positioning transmission module through a serial port. The positioning transmission module is used to determine data and report communication. The processing module includes three flowcharts to indicate that the active reporting process, restart process, device anti-drop process, and timed wake-up data reporting are all data reporting tasks initiated by the processing module. Among them, the timed wake-up data reporting does not require external triggering and is a spontaneous task of the processing module. The reporting interval and reporting time can be configured according to the user's needs, including but not limited to one report per day, one report per multiple days, and multiple reports per day. The specific interval time can be set.

[0041] The communication reporting task is actually triggered by the processing module, but it needs to be executed through the location transmission module. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of another location information determination device provided by the present invention. The ultra-low power main control chip in the diagram can be understood as a processing module, the anti-tamper module is an anti-drop processing unit, the anti-tamper processing flow is the device anti-drop process, and the positioning transmission module consists of a 4G Cat.1 module and a 4G onboard antenna. Figure 3It can also be seen that the location information determination device of the present invention further includes: 1) a debugging module, which is connected to the processing module via a serial port and can program and adjust the operating logic of the processing module, that is, start the serial port debugging process. 2) an indicator light, which is connected to the processing module via an I / O port and can present different states according to the alarm indication and communication indication of the processing module, indicating the current operating task and / or status information of the location information determination device to the user. 3) a current detection module, which can determine whether the device has an overload problem by detecting the current at a specific location. When the location information determination device has an overload, it starts the standby power consumption monitoring function and shuts down unnecessary components, such as the indicator light function and the serial port debugging function, to reduce the power consumption of the location information determination device and improve the standby time and usage time of the location information determination device. 4) Power supply section, which includes battery module, power supply module and power module, is designed to provide power to various components in the location information determination device. Among them, the positioning transmission module requires a higher voltage. The power management module will increase the voltage in the circuit to enable the positioning transmission module to work. After the data reporting is completed, it will stop providing high voltage to the positioning transmission module to save energy of the location information determination device.

[0042] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an active reporting unit provided by the present invention, combined with... Figure 4 As can be seen, the active reporting unit includes a first resistor R1 and a first capacitor C1. The first end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the ground signal GND, the second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the first end of the first resistor R1, the second end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the electrical signal VCC1, and the second end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the processing module through a signal trigger button. The port numbers of each component are not shown in the figure.

[0043] VCC1 is the chip voltage provided by the processing module. When the signal trigger button is triggered, the second end of the first capacitor transmits a low-level signal to the processing module. A low-level signal with a trigger duration less than the first duration is an active reporting indication, and a low-level signal with a trigger duration greater than the second duration is a restart reporting indication, where the second duration is greater than the first duration.

[0044] Specifically, the signal-triggered button can be understood as a silicone button. When the user presses the silicone button, it triggers the connection between the processing module and GND, forming a button function. The processing module detects the transition between high and low signals. By controlling the pressing duration, active reporting and restart functions can be achieved. For example, a pressing duration of less than 3 seconds (first duration) is considered active reporting, and a pressing duration of more than 10 seconds (second duration) is considered a restart. The first and second durations can be set according to user needs, and this invention does not limit them.

[0045] Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an anti-detachment treatment unit provided by the present invention, combined with... Figure 5 It is known that the anti-detachment processing unit includes a second resistor R2, a second capacitor C2 and a non-locking switch. The first end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the ground signal GND and the second end of the non-locking switch. The second end of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the first end of the second resistor R2, the first end of the non-locking switch and the processing module. The second end of the second resistor R2 is connected to an electrical signal.

[0046] The spring switch on the housing of the location information determining device is connected to a non-locking switch. When the location information determining device is installed, the spring switch presses the non-locking switch, and the processing module receives a low-level signal. If the location information determining device is removed or detached, the spring switch releases, and the non-locking switch also releases (detaches), and the processing module receives a high-level signal. When the non-locking switch detaches, the second terminal of the second capacitor transmits an anti-detachment reporting indication to the processing module. The anti-detachment reporting indication changes from a low-level signal to a high-level signal, indicating that the location information determining device and the device to be located are not installed together.

[0047] The location information determination device of the present invention further includes a power management module, which includes a lithium battery unit and a voltage adjustment unit.

[0048] The lithium battery unit is used to provide a first voltage signal to the data generation module and the processing module; the voltage adjustment unit is used to convert the first voltage signal into a second voltage signal and provide the second voltage signal to the positioning transmission module when the processing module sends a device location information reporting instruction to the positioning transmission module, and to pause the voltage conversion task after the positioning transmission module sends the location information to the device management server to determine the device identifier and location data of the device, and the second voltage signal is greater than the first voltage signal.

[0049] The advantage of this setup is that it minimizes the power consumption of the location-determining device while ensuring its normal operation, thereby extending its usage time.

[0050] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a voltage adjustment unit provided by the present invention, combined with... Figure 6 It can be seen that the voltage adjustment unit includes a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, an eighth resistor R8, a third capacitor C3, a fourth capacitor C4, a fifth capacitor C5, a first diode D1, a first inductor L1, and a converter.

[0051] from Figure 6As can be seen, the first end of the third resistor is connected to the processing module; the second end of the first resistor is connected to the first end of the fourth resistor and the second end of the converter; the second end of the fourth resistor is connected to the ground signal; the first end of the first diode is connected to the lithium battery cell; the second end of the first diode is connected to the first end of the third capacitor, the first end of the first inductor, and the third end of the converter; the second end of the third capacitor is connected to the ground signal; the second end of the first inductor is connected to the fifth end of the converter; the fourth end of the converter is connected to the first end of the seventh resistor, the first end of the eighth resistor, the first end of the fourth capacitor, and the ground signal; the second end of the seventh resistor is connected to the first end of the converter and the first end of the fifth resistor; the second end of the fifth resistor is connected to the sixth end of the converter, the second end of the sixth resistor, the first end of the fifth capacitor, and the positioning transmission module; the second end of the fifth capacitor is connected to the ground signal; and the first end of the sixth resistor is connected to the second end of the eighth resistor, the second end of the fourth capacitor, and the processing module.

[0052] Figure 6 In the diagram, VCC represents the first voltage signal provided by the lithium battery cell, VCC2 represents the second voltage signal output by the voltage adjustment unit, DCDC_EN and VCAT1_ADC need to be connected to the corresponding pins on the processing module, and FB represents two connection endpoints, indicating that the first end of the converter and the second end of the seventh resistor are connected.

[0053] The location information determination device of the present invention also includes: a current detection module and an out-of-area warning module.

[0054] The out-of-area warning module generates an abnormal operation indication and sends it to the positioning transmission module when the location information determines that the device has left its operating range. The abnormal operation indication instructs the positioning transmission module to determine the abnormal location data of the device and to send the device identifier and abnormal location data to the device management server.

[0055] Abnormal operation indications can show that machinery, molds, or tooling fixtures equipped with location information have moved out of the factory boundary. For example, by setting up a dynamic electronic fence (with adjustable trigger sensitivity from 10 to 50 meters) at the factory boundary, when a mold is taken out of the authorized area, it proves that the operating trajectory of the machinery, molds, or tooling fixtures equipped with location information is abnormal, and the out-of-area warning process will be activated. This design can reduce the loss rate of assets such as machinery, molds, and tooling fixtures.

[0056] The current detection module is used to acquire at least two current values ​​flowing through the resistor to be detected when it receives a current detection instruction sent by the processing module, and to generate an overload indication when the current value flowing through the resistor to be detected is greater than the safe current value.

[0057] The overload indicator is used to instruct the processing module to shut down unnecessary components in the location information determination device, i.e., modules that are not involved in the positioning task and data reporting task, thereby reducing the power consumption of the location information determination device.

[0058] Specifically, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a current detection module provided by the present invention. U1 and U2 in the diagram represent two functional chips required by the current detection circuit, R12 is the resistor to be detected, and BAT_ADC, BAT_EN, and UA_ADC need to be connected to the corresponding pins on the processing module. Combined with... Figure 7 The components and connections of the current detection module are known. The connection method of the current detection module is the same as that of the voltage adjustment unit, and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] It is worth noting that, on the one hand, if a problem occurs in the data reporting process, this invention will store the data reported in this round and report it together with the data in the next round of reporting. If multiple reporting attempts fail, the control indicator lights will display the presentation corresponding to the reporting anomaly. The indicator lights include at least three light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and the presentation corresponding to the reporting anomaly can be that all LEDs are lit up red. On the other hand, if no data is received from the location information determination device for an extended period, the data management terminal will identify the anomaly management personnel through the latest location information reported by the location information determination device and send them management instructions and the latest location information reported by the location information determination device, instructing them to go and check the on-site situation of the location information determination device. Generally, the anomaly management personnel are troubleshooting personnel who are close to the location information determination device or management personnel of the factory area where the location information determination device is located.

[0060] The location information determination device in the above embodiment, when the data reporting conditions are met or a data reporting instruction is received from the data generation module, controls the positioning transmission module to determine the location data of the location information determination device based on the location information of at least two nearby base stations, the time and signal strength of the measurement signals received by at least two base stations, and then performs data reporting. This location information determination device does not need to be exposed to the open air and does not require additional positioning components. It is less affected by the environment and has low power consumption, which can effectively reduce the design and usage costs of the location information determination device, extend its service life, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of information reporting. It solves the problems of terminal devices requiring separate positioning modules and being exposed to the open air, high design costs of positioning devices, significant environmental impact on signal detection quality, low detection accuracy, and short device lifespan.

[0061] Figure 8This is a flowchart illustrating an asset management method provided by the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations requiring high efficiency, low cost, and high quality for cross-regional equipment management. The method is applied to an equipment management system, which includes at least two devices to be managed. Each device is equipped with a location information determination device as described in any embodiment of the present invention. The equipment management method can be executed by the asset management device provided by the present invention. This device can be implemented in hardware and / or software. In one specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into an electronic device. The following embodiments will illustrate this using the integration of the device into an electronic device as an example. (Refer to...) Figure 8 The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] S101. Obtain the device status information of at least two devices to be managed.

[0063] In this system, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the devices to be managed and the devices whose location information is determined. The location data reported by the device corresponding to the device to be managed is the location information of the device to be managed. The device status information is also one-to-one correspondence between the devices to be managed and includes device identification, location data, current task, and environmental information.

[0064] Specifically, device identification can be understood as the unique identity information of the device to be managed, such as identification code, device serial number, device number, etc. Location data refers to the location information corresponding to the device to be managed, determining the location data uploaded by the device. The current task is used to assess the current working environment of the device to be managed. The current task can be a paused task; if the device to be managed is currently performing a task or is about to perform a task, the current task includes a brief overview of the task being performed or about to be performed, such as task type, task content, task execution progress, etc. Environmental information can be understood as road condition data, surrounding building data, and surrounding personnel data of the current location of the device to be managed, equivalent to image information within a certain range collected by an image sensor.

[0065] The advantage of this setup is that it allows for the acquisition of comprehensive data, enabling the statistical analysis and management of all managed equipment and improving the quality of asset management.

[0066] S102. Using pre-set equipment classification rules, organize the current tasks, environmental information, equipment identification and location data of at least two devices to be managed to obtain the asset summary information of the equipment management system.

[0067] The equipment classification rules are at least one of the following: summarizing based on work scope, summarizing based on equipment type, summarizing based on work status, and summarizing based on equipment location.

[0068] Specifically, summarizing by work scope can be understood as dividing the system by region and, based on the current location of each manageable device, performing asset statistics on all devices in the equipment management system. Each region is summarized as a sub-result, and the sum of all sub-results constitutes the asset summary information of the equipment management system. Similarly, summarizing by equipment type involves organizing the location, status, and other information of each type of equipment (e.g., mechanical equipment, molds, tooling fixtures, etc.) according to its type, resulting in multiple sub-results. The sum of all sub-results constitutes the asset summary information of the equipment management system. Summarizing by work status and summarizing by equipment location follows the same principle and will not be elaborated upon further. It is worth noting that multiple rules can be nested during the summarization process. For example, summarizing by work scope can be followed by summarizing by equipment type, or summarizing by equipment location can be followed by summarizing by equipment type. This approach improves the standardization and readability of the summary results, making it easier for managers to review the asset summary information.

[0069] Optionally, the present invention can also specifically determine the status of one or more devices to be managed. For example, a user sends control commands through an interactive interface, including but not limited to the management requirements and device identifiers of the devices the user wants to control. When the server receives the control commands sent by the user through the interactive interface, it determines the devices to be controlled and the control instructions for those devices based on the control commands; and sends the control instructions to the devices to be controlled so that the devices to be controlled can operate according to the control instructions. The purpose of this setup is to achieve personalized recording and viewing of device asset information.

[0070] For example, if a manager wants to check the work task execution status of mold A, they can send the device identifier of mold A and the request to check the task execution status through the interactive interface. The server will determine that the device to be controlled is mold A, the control instruction is to check the task execution status, and send the task execution status check instruction to mold A so that mold A can provide feedback on the relevant information of the task execution status, allowing the user to understand the work task execution status of mold A.

[0071] The technical solution of the above embodiments determines the asset status of each device under management in the equipment management system by organizing, merging, and summarizing the location information loaded on each device to determine the device identifier, location data, current task, and environmental information reported by the device. This allows for the recording and adjustment of the working, resource consumption, and lifecycle information of each device under management in the equipment management system. Furthermore, the asset management method of the present invention can transcend the limitations of factory areas, industrial parks, and regions, monitoring the location of assets at any time, achieving automatic asset inventory, improving asset management efficiency, and reducing the risk of asset loss. The asset management method provided in this embodiment employs at least one location information determination device provided in the above embodiments, possessing the corresponding beneficial effects and functions of the location information determination device.

[0072] Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of an asset management device provided by the present invention. Figure 9 As shown, the device includes: an information determination module 4 and a data aggregation module 5.

[0073] Information determination module 4 is used to obtain device status information of at least two devices to be managed. The device status information corresponds one-to-one with the devices to be managed and includes device identification, location data, current task and environmental information.
