An information interaction system and method based on authorized anchor points

Abstract

This invention discloses an information interaction system and method based on authorized anchor points. The system includes authorized anchor points, a detection module, a permission verification module, an information acquisition module, and a management platform. Authorized anchor points can be system-preset anchor points or user-defined anchor points, and can be physical anchor points (such as QR codes) or virtual anchor points (such as geofences), storing location identification information and authorization credentials. The detection module monitors whether the user terminal enters the anchor point trigger range (including start-point and end-point triggers) through visual scanning, gesture recognition, near-field sensing, and geographic location detection. When the user initiates an action (such as tapping or scanning a code), the permission verification module obtains credentials and verifies permissions. After successful verification, the information acquisition module enables the user terminal to obtain service data from a preset information source based on the credentials and generate a service response. The management platform is used for centralized configuration, monitoring, and analysis of each anchor point. Users can create their own anchor points and configure start-point / end-point services; multiple anchor points can form a link and trigger sequentially. This invention is applicable to shopping malls, bus stops, express delivery points, hospitals, transportation hubs, and personal scenarios, enabling convenient, secure, continuous, and manageable information interaction.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of information interaction technology, and specifically to a system and method for enabling convenient and secure information interaction between users and physical space through authorized anchor points (including system-preset anchor points and user-created anchor points) deployed in key locations. Background Technology

[0002] In complex environments such as large shopping malls, transportation hubs, public venues, and office parks, users often need to obtain various information services, including location guidance, exhibit descriptions, procedures, access permissions, and emergency assistance. Existing technologies largely rely on users actively searching (e.g., opening a mobile app, scanning a single QR code) or on location-based service push notifications (e.g., Bluetooth beacon push advertising), which presents the following problems:

[0003] Information is accessed through various means, requiring users to use different entry points for different scenarios.

[0004] QR codes require active searching and scanning, which is not convenient.

[0005] Bluetooth push notifications cannot accurately respond to users' immediate intentions and are often ignored by users;

[0006] Storing information directly at anchor points can lead to problems such as data redundancy, difficulty in updating, and security risks.

[0007] The lack of a unified and convenient authorization mechanism makes it difficult to implement access control, sign-in, and other permission management scenarios.

[0008] Most existing anchor points are officially deployed and cannot meet the customization needs of individual users in frequently visited locations;

[0009] The anchor points are isolated from each other, making it impossible to form a coherent service experience;

[0010] The lack of centralized management of anchor points makes it difficult to achieve large-scale deployment and operation.

[0011] Therefore, a general information interaction system based on an authorization mechanism is needed. Anchor points can be preset by the system or built by the user. They only serve as "keys" to provide authorization credentials. Users can obtain service data through their own networks and support linkage between anchor points. At the same time, a centralized management platform is provided to achieve secure, flexible and scalable information interaction. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Technical problems to be solved

[0013] This invention provides an information interaction system based on authorized anchor points. By deploying system-preset or user-built authorized anchor points (physical or virtual) at key nodes, when a user terminal enters the preset trigger range of the anchor point and actively initiates an action, it obtains the authorization credentials stored in the anchor point, verifies the permissions, and then retrieves service data from its own network. It supports start-point triggering, end-point triggering, and anchor-link triggering, and introduces a centralized management platform to realize convenient, secure, continuous, and manageable information interaction between users and physical space.

[0014] Technical solution

[0015] An information interaction system based on authorization anchors, comprising:

[0016] At least one authorized anchor point, which can be a system preset anchor point or a user-built anchor point, and can be a physical anchor point or a virtual anchor point, deployed at a key node in the physical space. Each authorized anchor point stores location identification information and corresponding authorization credentials.

[0017] The detection module is used to detect whether the user terminal has entered the preset trigger range of any authorized anchor point. The trigger range includes a starting trigger range and an ending trigger range. The detection module includes at least one of a visual scanning unit, a gesture recognition unit, a near-field sensing unit, and a geographic location detection unit.

[0018] The permission verification module obtains the authorization credential and verifies the user terminal's permissions when the detection module detects that the user terminal has entered the trigger range and the user initiates a preset action.

[0019] After the authorization verification is passed, the information acquisition module allows the user terminal to obtain the corresponding service data from the preset information source based on the authorization credentials and generate a service response.

[0020] Furthermore, the user-built anchor point can be set by the user at any location through the terminal, and the corresponding trigger range, authorization credentials and service data can be configured. It can also serve as the navigation endpoint. When the user navigates to the trigger range of the anchor point, the corresponding endpoint service data is obtained. Multiple user-built anchor points can be configured as anchor point links, and the corresponding services are triggered in sequence when the user passes through each anchor point.

[0021] Furthermore, the physical anchor points include QR codes, NFC tags, Bluetooth beacons, RFID tags, or star-flash modules set in fixed locations; the virtual anchor points are defined by geographical location coordinate ranges, base station positioning areas, Wi-Fi fingerprint areas, or wireless signal strength thresholds.

[0022] Furthermore, the visual scanning unit is used to scan the QR code markings of the physical anchor points using a camera; the gesture recognition unit is used to detect user preset gestures using sensors, including at least one of double-tap, triple-tap, shake, draw a trajectory, hold, and long press; the near-field sensing unit is used to detect the user terminal entering the trigger range using at least one of Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, UWB, and satellite navigation technologies; and the geographic location detection unit is used to detect the coordinate range of the user terminal entering the virtual anchor point using GPS, BeiDou, base station positioning, or Wi-Fi positioning.

[0023] Furthermore, the Starflash technology supports SLE low-power mode and SLB basic access mode, enabling sub-meter ranging.

[0024] Furthermore, the authorization credential includes at least one of an encryption token, a one-time key, a resource locator, and a device identification code; the preset information source includes at least one of the user terminal's local cache, a cloud server, and a third-party service platform; the service data includes at least one of access permission information, navigation information, text information, image information, audio information, video information, control instructions, payment instructions, emergency assistance information, and arrival confirmation information; the service response includes at least one of permission granting, information display, voice broadcasting, device control, business processing, payment confirmation, location reporting, arrival confirmation, and destination activation.

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a management platform for centralized configuration, monitoring, and analysis of the operational status and service data of each authorized anchor point. This management platform can be deployed on a cloud server, communicating with each anchor point and information acquisition module to achieve remote management, data statistics, and operational optimization of the anchor points.

[0026] Beneficial effects

[0027] Flexible anchor point options: Supports both system-preset anchor points and user-defined anchor points, meeting both official deployment and personalized needs.

[0028] Combining the real and the virtual: Physical anchor points and virtual anchor points coexist, adapting to diverse scenarios.

[0029] User-initiated: Users can actively trigger services by tapping, scanning codes, or other actions, avoiding the intrusion of passive push notifications.

[0030] Dual triggering of start / end point: Anchor points can be triggered as both the start and end points, forming a service loop.

[0031] Anchor point linkage: Multiple anchor points can be configured as links, and sequential services are triggered as users pass through them in turn.

[0032] Centralized management: The management platform enables large-scale anchor deployment, configuration updates, status monitoring, and data analysis, greatly improving system operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0033] Lightweight anchors: Anchors only store authorization credentials, eliminating the need to store large amounts of data, resulting in low cost and easy deployment.

[0034] Information security: Sensitive information is not stored at public anchors, but is transmitted via encrypted authorization and the user's own network.

[0035] Multi-mode triggering: Supports multiple methods such as visual scanning, gesture recognition, near field sensing, and geolocation detection.

[0036] Technology Outlook: Incorporating next-generation short-range wireless communication technologies such as StarFlash. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Example 1: Virtual Anchor Point at Bus Stop (Triggered from Origin)

[0048] The municipal transportation department pre-sets virtual anchor points within a 20-meter radius of a bus stop. Once a user enters this area, they double-tap their phone on the navigation interface. The gesture recognition unit detects the tap, and the geolocation detection unit confirms that the user is within the anchor point's range. The location information of the bus stop is then retrieved from the cloud as the initial starting address and automatically entered into the navigation app.

[0049] Example 2: User-created virtual anchor point at their doorstep (dual triggering of start and end points)

[0050] User Zhang set up a user-defined virtual anchor point at his front door, with a trigger range of 15 meters. He configured two types of service data:

[0051] Triggered by: Double-tap your phone when leaving home to activate "Away Mode" (turns off lights, air conditioning, and security).

[0052] Destination Trigger: When you enter the home area, your phone will prompt you to "Tap to go home". Double-tap to activate "Home Mode" (open the door, turn on the lights, turn on the air conditioner).

[0053] Example 3: User-created coffee shop physical anchor point (endpoint trigger)

[0054] Xiao Li frequents a coffee shop. He generates an anchor QR code in the app, prints it out, and sticks it on the corner of his usual table, configuring the service data as "One-click order: Americano". Each time he arrives at the shop, he scans the code to automatically place an order without having to open the food delivery app.

[0055] Example 4: User-built parking space anchor point (payment at the destination)

[0056] Users can create virtual anchor points in the parking lot to record their parking spaces. When retrieving their cars, they are navigated to the anchor point, and once inside the area, their phones prompt them to "tap to pay." After double-tapping, the parking duration is automatically calculated and payment is completed.

[0057] Example 5: Anchor Link – Park Tour Route

[0058] Users plan a park tour route, setting multiple anchor points in sequence: entrance (get map), first attraction (play audio guide), second attraction (get coupon), and exit (record steps). Once configured as anchor point links, the corresponding services are automatically triggered as the user passes through the points in sequence.

[0059] Example 6: Anchor Link – Route Home from get off work

[0060] Users set anchor points: company entrance (clocking out), bus stop (real-time bus information), and home entrance (homecoming mode). These are triggered sequentially for a continuous service.

[0061] Example 7: Preset Anchor Points and Management Platform for Shopping Mall System

[0062] A large shopping mall has deployed 100 authorized anchor points (entrances, elevators, and shops). The mall operator uses a management platform to uniformly configure the service data corresponding to each anchor point (such as shop coupons and floor navigation), monitors the trigger frequency and user feedback of each anchor point in real time, and adjusts the anchor point positions and service content based on data analysis to optimize customer flow.

[0063] Example 8: Preset Anchor Points in Express Delivery Point System

[0064] The express delivery stations deploy QR code anchors. After scanning, customers obtain the station ID and retrieve the default mailing address and coupons from the cloud.

[0065] Example 9: Office Building Access Control Anchor Point

[0066] Star-shaped anchor points are deployed at each entrance of the office building. Employees double-tap their phones upon entering the designated area to obtain an anchor point token; after verification, the access control system automatically opens. The management platform records attendance information.

[0067] Example 10: User-created visitor anchor points (destination notification)

[0068] Users can create "visitor anchor points" at the entrance of their residential community and share them with friends. When a friend navigates to the location, the system automatically notifies the user that "the guest has arrived." Visitor records can be viewed on the management platform.
