Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of positioning, and in particular to a positioning base station. Background Art

[0002] The steps for indoor positioning deployment generally include wiring, drilling installation, mapping, base station anchoring, and data collection. However, many businesses, especially over 90% of homes, don't plan to deploy indoor positioning before renovations begin. Therefore, they don't reserve wiring and installation holes upfront, making later installation very complex. This puts many potential customers off installing indoor positioning systems.

[0003] Specifically, drilling installation involves pre-embedding the lines and drilling holes for base station mounting locations. Pre-embedding the lines may require a pickaxe, while drilling holes for base station mounting locations may require an electric hammer or impact drill. After pre-embedding the lines, mortar, putty, and paint are required. After drilling the base station mounting holes, expansion screws must be installed. Installing expansion screws is a complex process, requiring different types of screws for different wall materials.

[0004] Wiring installation may involve two types of lines: power lines and communication lines. Power lines are commonly referred to as electrical wiring. Communication lines, on the other hand, are specialized wired communications, including RS485, RS232, KNX, Modbus, and other bus communication systems. These wired bus systems typically use shielded cables. RS485 protocols typically use network cables. KNX protocols use specialized 4-color, 4-core shielded cables.

[0005] In summary, using traditional indoor positioning deployment methods, installing a base station is an extremely complex and specialized project that requires on-site engineers and a large amount of specialized cables, tools, and equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The described examples are only a part of the embodiments in the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0014] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a lighting-integrated positioning base station. It is characterized in that the lighting-integrated positioning base station includes a positioning base station 100. Generally, a positioning base station has two functional modules, one is a positioning module and the other is a communication module. The positioning module selects different positioning chips according to different positioning technologies. The current mainstream positioning technologies include UWB, Bluetooth, WIFI, ultrasonic, infrared, RFID, etc. In this example, the UWB positioning technology is used. Therefore, the positioning base station 100 in this example further includes a UWB chip 101. However, it is worth mentioning that many current ones are fusion positioning technologies, so there may be multiple positioning chips at the same time. Similarly, the communication module also selects different communication chips according to different communication technologies. First, it is necessary to determine whether to use wireless or wired. Wireless communication technologies include WIFI, Bluetooth, zigbee, LoRA, etc. Wired communication technologies include RS485, KNX, etc. In this example, Bluetooth in the wireless communication technology is used. Therefore, the positioning base station 100 further includes a Bluetooth chip 102. Using wireless communication technology eliminates the problem of laying communication lines.

[0015] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the lighting-integrated positioning base station includes a lighting fixture 200, and the positioning base station 100 is connected to the lighting fixture 200 as a whole. The reason for choosing a lighting fixture is that lighting is a necessity and lighting fixtures are very common. The original wiring and drilled holes of the lighting fixture can be utilized, reducing the steps of laying wires and drilling holes for installation, which is very conducive to retrofitting. Even for pre-installation, this way of combining the positioning base station and the lighting fixture can be applied, greatly saving costs. The lighting fixture 200 includes ceiling lights, downlights, chandeliers, track lights, wall lights, etc. Then, when the positioning base station is combined with the lighting fixture, it will also present different shapes and installation methods. It looks like a lighting fixture on the outside, but actually combines the function of indoor positioning. Another important point that has to be mentioned is that when choosing to combine the lighting fixture with the positioning base station, there is also a very important reason. When selecting the location of the lighting fixture, it will fully consider making sure that there is no light blind area in each space. Generally, the central position of each space will be selected. If there is a light blind area, additional points will be added. This installation logic is similar to that of the positioning base station. Therefore, the location where the lighting fixture is generally installed is also the best location for the positioning base station, which again makes the selection of the positioning base station location an easy task. The circuits of the lighting fixture 200 and the positioning base station 100 are connected in parallel. Although such a structure is a whole, the lighting and positioning functions operate independently and do not interfere with each other.

[0016] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the lighting-integrated positioning base station includes a switch 300. There are significant differences in the usage frequencies of the positioning base station and the lighting fixture. The lighting fixture is only turned on when the light is insufficient, while the positioning base station basically needs to be turned on for 24 hours. To solve this problem, we introduce the switch 300. The switch is a spring-return switch. When pressed, the switch is disconnected, and it automatically closes after the hand is released. The pressing duration is very short. Such a spring-return switch can basically ensure that the positioning base station has external power supply. The lighting fixture and the positioning base station are connected to the switch in parallel, which means that the lighting fixture also basically has external power supply. However, we don't want the lighting fixture to be always on. Therefore, further, the lighting fixture includes a circuit 201 for detecting the switch state. When it detects that the switch is pressed, it will switch the on / off state of the lighting fixture.

[0017] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, it is a schematic diagram of the circuit 201 for detecting the switch state. When the switch is pressed and the mains power is disconnected, the input voltage of L\N is 0, the MOS device Q5 is disconnected, and the GPIO outputs a high level; when the switch rebounds and the mains power is conducted, the input voltage of L\N is 220V AC, the MOS device Q5 is conducted, and the GPIO outputs a low level. The lighting fixture can identify the action state of the switch by detecting the high and low level states of the GPIO. In this way, only by replacing a switch panel, the problem of independent power supply for the positioning base station can be solved without affecting the use of the original lighting fixture.

[0018] In summary, by integrating the positioning base station and the lighting fixture into a whole, the problems of the location selection and installation of the base station can be solved. In a parallel connection mode, the lighting function and the device function are isolated from each other. Further, through the ingenious cooperation of the spring return switch and the switch detection circuit, the usage habits of the lighting fixture and the positioning base station are isolated from each other. Without affecting the use of the original lighting fixture at all, the function of the positioning base station is integrated, achieving two goals with one action. The installation of the complex and unfamiliar positioning base station is transformed into the simple and familiar process of replacing the lamp and the switch panel. Without laying a single wire, drilling a single hole, or hiring an engineer, ordinary people can easily complete it by themselves, greatly reducing the labor cost and time cost.
