[0067] In response to the different receiving methods of Iridium and BeiDou, our company has independently developed two receiving and display platforms for receiving and displaying data sent from beacon receivers.

[0068] Iridium Client Software Platform: Based on Iridium Direct-IP services, and adhering to the principles of aesthetically pleasing interface, user-friendly operation, and automated data processing, a dedicated client software was designed specifically for the characteristics of the marine Iridium beacon. Details are as follows... Figures 11-12 As shown, its main functions include email login, real-time monitoring, information query, and device management; and it has the following characteristics:

[0069] Hassle-free installation: This software is a green, portable version. Simply copy the package to your personal folder to use it, eliminating the installation step.

[0070] No registration required: Simply log in with the account and password provided by our company with one click – it's quick and easy.

[0071] Professional Map: The software features an embedded Amap (Gaode Map) display, providing clear and detailed map information;

[0072] Voice broadcast: The software broadcasts each piece of data received, including the beacon's latitude and longitude coordinates, reception time, speed, heading, and deviation distance from the reference coordinates.

[0073] Multi-mode reception: The same software supports data reception and display in both online and offline modes. Online mode requires an account and password and an internet connection; offline mode requires the use of our independently developed Iridium transparent transmission module for data reception, but does not require a network connection.

[0074] Rich display: The software can set the data refresh frequency and display the beacon return information in real time or at regular intervals. The information includes the beacon's positioning time, reception time, longitude, latitude, speed, heading, etc.

[0075] Multiple online beacon units: The software can manage up to 999 beacon units running online simultaneously, displaying detailed information about each beacon unit by label. Users can choose to display all beacons on the map or selectively hide them.

[0076] Intelligent Alert: When this function is enabled, a safe radius circle will be formed around the set beacon. Within this circle, the beacon will operate normally. Once the beacon moves out of this circle, the software will immediately initiate the email sending function, sending an alarm message to the designated email address to notify the beacon of its abnormal status; at the same time, this message will be highlighted in color in the software for easy identification and analysis of the problem later.

[0077] Remote settings: The software's built-in tools allow for remote modification of the beacon's communication frequency via satellite communication. Simultaneously, the remaining battery level of the beacon can be remotely checked via satellite communication to determine its lifespan.

[0078] Data storage: The software saves historical data. The query function allows users to check the data reception status for any historical time period. Historical data can also be exported to external documents for analysis and calculation.

[0079] Distance measurement: The software's built-in distance measurement tool can be used to measure the distance between any two points on the map;

[0080] Data quantification: The software has a built-in quantification tool that can quantify the speed, heading and battery power of the beacon aircraft over a certain period of time and display the changes in the time period in the form of a curve, which is convenient for users to analyze data.

[0081] Equipment Management: The software allows users to input detailed information about beacon machines, such as serial number, model, IMEI, user unit, contact person, and contact information. After input, the software can manage specific devices by tags, eliminating the need to repeatedly search for specific parameters of a particular device, thus greatly improving work efficiency.

[0082] Beidou Online Receiving Platform: Since the current Beidou communication system lacks a complete server distribution mechanism, our company has independently developed a Beidou beacon data receiving and display platform compatible with both Beidou-2 and Beidou-3, based on actual needs. Details are as follows... Figure 13-14 As shown, customers using this platform do not need to purchase separate BeiDou receiver terminals, reducing project costs. Simultaneously, this platform connects directly to the BeiDou satellite ground station, immediately pushing satellite data to the platform upon arrival at the station, greatly improving the success rate and communication speed of BeiDou beacon data reception. The platform is developed based on a B / S architecture, eliminating the need for customers to install applications; they can simply log in via a designated website and enter their account, significantly simplifying project development and offering the following features:

[0083] Easy Binding: Users do not need to perform any complicated operations. They only need to provide the Beidou beacon card number to the business personnel for easy back-end binding.

[0084] Real-time transmission: Based on the direct data transmission service of BeiDou satellite ground stations, BeiDou data reception will not fail due to weak signal or unstable power supply, and the real-time transmission capability is basically achieved.

[0085] Convenient login: Based on the web platform, users do not need to install any software and there are no configuration requirements for the computer. As long as they can log in to the browser, they can view it anytime, anywhere.

[0086] Account Management: Accounts adopt a parent-child hierarchical strategy. Parent accounts can be created to manage all Beidou beacon units under their jurisdiction, while child accounts can be created for secondary users to view only, without management privileges.

[0087] Device Management: A complete device management system where all device information, such as model, name, IMEI, and ownership, is clearly displayed;

[0088] Intelligent correction: Based on the user's actual needs, it can automatically remove outliers and achieve a perfect trajectory curve;

[0089] Data playback: Historical trajectory points are automatically connected, and historical speed information is automatically calculated and plotted in a table to facilitate user decision-making.

[0090] Message Query: Supports online query of original messages from beacon machines, and is also compatible with data viewing of our independently developed Beidou transparent transmission module.

[0091] When this utility model is in operation: when the beacon unit needs to be assembled, the Beidou-3 transparent transmission module 602 and the Iridium transparent transmission module 603 are inserted into the integrated base 606 by moving the integrated frame 601, so that the wiring plug 607 is inserted into the wiring connection end 604, so as to complete the wiring operation of the Beidou-3 transparent transmission module 602 and the Iridium transparent transmission module 603 at the same time. Then, the connecting plate 608 is snapped onto the integrated frame 601 by moving the detection box 701, so that the antenna adapter 609 is inserted into the antenna connection end 605 to complete the wiring operation between the detection mechanism 7 and the transparent transmission mechanism 6, so as to quickly assemble the transparent transmission mechanism 6 and the detection mechanism 7 into the beacon body 101.

[0092] After the transmission mechanism 6 and the detection mechanism 7 are assembled, the pressure ring 201 is inserted into the beacon body 101 by moving the top cylinder 103. Then, the pressure ring 201 is moved by rotating the top cylinder 103 using the thread. The pressure ring 201 is then limited by the inner wall of the beacon body 101. The moving top cylinder 103 drives the first spring 203 and the sealing ring 204 to move. The moving first spring 203 compresses the pressure ring 201 by squeezing it, and the moving sealing ring 204 deforms by squeezing the pressure ring 201 to improve the sealing between the top cylinder 103 and the beacon body 101. At the same time, one end of 205 is inserted into the sealing ring 83 so that the sealing ring 83 can seal the top cylinder 103 and 205.

[0093] After the top cylinder 103 is assembled, the lithium battery body 4 is inserted into the beacon body 101 by moving the battery connector 307. Then, the pin 304 slides into the battery connector 307 under pressure, driving the second spring 306 to compress. When the pin 304 moves to the receiving slot 305, the compressed second spring 306 drives the pin 304 into the receiving slot 305, thus fixing the battery connector 307 and the lithium battery body 4 inside the beacon body 101. The charging interface 81 is provided to directly charge the lithium battery body 4. When it is necessary to remove the lithium battery body 4 from the beacon body 101, simply turn the knob 301 to drive the traction wheel 302 to rotate. The rotating traction wheel 302 uses the traction rope 303 to drive the pin 304 to slide out of the receiving slot 305, thus releasing the restriction on the battery connector 307, allowing the battery connector 307 to be moved to remove the lithium battery body 4 from the beacon body 101.

[0094] After the lithium battery body 4 is installed, the bottom cover 102 is connected to the bottom of the beacon body 101 by moving the bottom cover 102, and the sealing mechanism 2 is used to improve the sealing between the bottom cover 102 and the beacon body 101, thus completing the assembly operation of the beacon machine.

[0095] When the beacon is in use, a Bluetooth module 704 is used for Bluetooth communication between the beacon and mobile devices, allowing for parameter reset or configuration according to actual needs before formal deployment. A temperature and humidity detection module 703 monitors the temperature and humidity data within the beacon to determine if overheating or water leakage is occurring during operation. A micro-meteorological sensor module 705 monitors the temperature, humidity, and air pressure around the beacon. A high-precision positioning module 706 determines the beacon's current location. A BeiDou-3 transparent transmission module 602 and an Iridium transparent transmission module 603, along with a communication antenna 702, transmit data to the beacon, enabling full-duplex data transmission with no blind spots globally, thus improving communication reliability. The positioning data of the high-precision positioning module 706 can be initialized, and the activity range of the beacon can be set. When the positioning data detected by the high-precision positioning module 706 exceeds the activity range of the beacon, the Beidou-3 transparent transmission module 602 and the Iridium transparent transmission module 603, together with the communication antenna 702, can send an early warning message to the satellite communication system so as to retrieve the beacon in time and prevent it from being lost.

[0096] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
