[0013] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings and examples below. The embodiments described herein are only used to interpret the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0014] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "plurality" (or "multiple items") is two or more, and greater than, less than, more than, etc. are understood to be exclusive of the number itself, and greater than, less than, within, etc. are understood to be inclusive of the number itself. Where descriptions such as "first", "second", etc. are used, they are for the purpose of distinguishing technical features only, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, or implying the number of the technical features indicated, or implying the context of the technical features indicated.

[0015] In response to the problem that the geofence installation and use of Tracker-based products is too strict in some cases and cannot accurately match the actual usage scenario, the embodiment of the present application provides a geofence installation method, device and computer-readable storage medium, which determines the custodian device that needs to be supervised by the guardian device, generates a geofence by the guardian device, sets a buffer area in the boundary area of ​​the geofence, and sets the on or off conditions of the geofence and the buffer area according to the usage scenario of the geofence application. When the geofence and the buffer area are turned on, when the custodian device determines that the custodian device has entered or left the buffer area, the guardian device receives the presentation information sent by the custodian device. Based on this, the user can freely install the geofence, and allows the user to set the buffer area, and the buffer area can be turned on or off according to the conditions actually set by the user, making the installation and use of the geofence more suitable for the user's usage scenario and improving the user's usage experience.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is a flow chart of a geofence setting method according to one embodiment of the present application. The geofence setting method includes, but is not limited to, the following operations:

[0017] Step S1001: A supervised device that needs to be supervised by a supervising device is determined. Step S1002: A geofence is generated by the parent device, and a buffer area is set in the boundary area of ​​the geofence. Step S1003: Set the on or off conditions of the geofence and buffer area according to the usage scenario in which the geofence is applied, and when the geofence and buffer area are on, when it is determined that the supervised device has entered or left the buffer area, the supervised device receives the presentation information sent by the supervised device.

[0018] In one embodiment, before a geofence is installed, a guardian device (GT) and a guardian device (UGT) may be installed first. The guardian device may be a tracker device or a mobile phone with a tracker management application (APP) installed, and the guardian device is a tracker device. The GT and the UGT may have a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many relationship. For example, one or more GTs may be installed for one UGT, and one or more GTs may be installed for multiple UGTs.

[0019] In one embodiment, the buffer area may be one or more. Taking the setting of two buffer areas as an example, the buffer area may include a safe buffer area and a dangerous buffer area. In this embodiment, a geofence is first set for the UGT through the APP, and a safe buffer area (referred to as SBA) and a dangerous buffer area (referred to as DBA) are set in the boundary area of ​​the geofence, where the SBA is generally set outside the geofence, and the DBA is generally set inside the geofence. If the UGT location is in the SBA or DBA, it will send specific presentation information to the guardian's device. The guardian can inquire about the real-time location of the tracker wearer through the mobile phone APP, and the cloud will send the presentation information to the guardian's device in a timely manner, and the embodiment may be to push a short message or the presentation information to the APP installed on the guardian's device.

[0020] In one embodiment, three methods may be provided to set the on or off condition of the buffer area. The first method may provide a setting according to time, i.e., turning on or off according to a specific time period. The second method may provide a setting according to the absolute position of the GT or UGT, i.e., turning on or off when arriving at or leaving a specific area according to the position of the GT or UGT. The third method may provide a setting according to the relative positions of the GT and UGT, i.e., determining whether to turn on or off according to the distance between the GT and UGT.

[0021] In one embodiment, when setting up a geofence, the user may set up a buffer area at the boundary area of ​​the geofence, and turn the buffer area off and on in a specific manner. When the buffer area is turned on, if the tracker device under supervision is within the buffer area, a specific notification information is sent to the supervising person.

[0022] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the supervised device is in the buffer area, the positioning mode of the supervised device is switched from periodic positioning to real-time positioning, allowing the supervised person to monitor the location of the supervised person in real time.

[0023] In one embodiment, when the usage scenario is a school, for example, taking students going to school, the student's guardian will generally set the school area as a geofence and set the SBA and DBA, which can better fit the actual usage scenario. In this embodiment, the GT and UGT are first set through a specific APP, and the geofence is set for the UGT. The geofence may be set by location selection, manual drawing, or the GT traveling a closed-loop route. The SBA and DBA are set for the geofence, and the buffer area is set in the fence boundary area, generally, the SBA is set outside the fence boundary, and the DBA is set inside the fence boundary. Set the on and off conditions of the geofence, SBA, and DBA. For example, when students go to school, the school area is set as the geofence, the area inside the school gate is set as the DBA, and the area outside the school gate is set as the SBA. When setting to be activated according to time, that is, when setting the buffer area or geofence to be activated within a fixed time period, the DBA may be set to be turned on during the school arrival time period and the SBA to be turned on during the school departure time period. When the buffer area or geofence is set to be enabled according to the absolute position of the GT or UGT, that is, when the buffer area or geofence is set to be enabled when the GT is in a certain area, the SBA may be turned on and the DBA may be turned off when the geographical location of the GT is in the SBA area, and when the geographical location of the GT is outside the SBA area, the SBA may be turned off and the DBA may be turned on. When the buffer area or geofence is set to be enabled according to the relative positions of the GT and UGT, that is, when the distance between the GT and UGT is greater than the safety threshold, the geofence, SBA, or DBA may be turned off when the distance between the GT and UGT is less than the safety threshold, and the geofence, SBA, or DBA may be turned on when the distance between the GT and UGT is greater than the safety threshold. The user may set different on and off conditions alone or in combination according to his / her needs. When the UGT enters or leaves the buffer area, push specific alarm or reminder information to the GT, and when the UGT enters the DBA, if the previous UGT was periodic positioning, its positioning method is switched to real-time positioning.

[0024] In one embodiment, when UGT and GT have one-to-many or many-to-many relationship, multiple conditions may be set to turn on or off the buffer area. For example, when a student is a UGT and the two corresponding GTs are the student's guardian GT1 and teacher GT2, the DBA may be set to be turned on when the location of GT1 is within the SBA area and the location of GT2 is outside the DBA area.

[0025] In one embodiment, the Tracker can communicate with the cloud through its wireless communication module, thus the Tracker can receive instructions from the cloud and send its related information to the cloud. Through the Tracker system APP, the Tracker's related information in the relevant account can be obtained from the cloud and controlled.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2A, step S1001 may include, but is not limited to, the following sub-steps:

[0027] Step S2001: The supervising device and the supervised device are installed. Step S2002: The supervising device and the supervised device are matched one by one by polling.

[0028] In one embodiment, before setting up a geofence, a guardian device (GT) and a guardian device (UGT) need to be set up first, the guardian device can be a Tracker device or a mobile phone with a Tracker management APP installed, and the guardian device is a Tracker device. The relationship between GT and UGT can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. For example, one UGT can be set up with one or more GTs, and multiple UGTs can be set up with one GT or more GTs.

[0029] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, the setting step may include:

[0030] Step 201: A Tracker that needs to be associated is bound to an APP. Step 202: Set the character of the Tracker, where UGT can only be set to the Tracker, and GT can also be set to the Tracker or the mobile phone bound with the APP. Step 203: Determine whether the number of set GTs is greater than 0. Step 204: If the number of GTs is equal to 0, it is suggested to the user that the number of GTs is incorrect and needs to be reset. Step 205: Determine whether the number of configured UGTs is greater than 0. Step 206: If the number of UGTs is equal to 0, indicate to the user that the number of UGTs is incorrect and needs to be reset. Step 207: Determine whether all UGTs have a GT match by polling. Step 208: If there is an unmatched GT, the fact that there is an unmatched GT is presented to the user. Step 209: The setting is completed.

[0031] In one embodiment, generating a geofence by a parent device may include three ways: first, obtaining a geofence selected by a parent on the parent device; second, obtaining a geofence drawn by a parent on the parent device; and third, generating a geofence from a movement trajectory of the parent device. The buffer area may include a safety buffer area and a danger buffer area, and when setting a buffer area in a boundary area of ​​a geofence, the safety buffer area is set outside the geofence and the danger buffer area is set inside the geofence, where the safety buffer area and the danger buffer area are smaller than the geofence.

[0032] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the setting steps for the geofence, the safe buffer area SBA and the dangerous buffer area DBA may include:

[0033] Step 301: Select the UGT in the tracker that is bound to the APP to set up the geofence. Step 302: A geofence may be established by location selection, manual drawing, or by having the GT drive a closed-loop path. Step 303: Determine whether the fence area meets the requirements, mainly whether the size of the fence area is within a maximum and minimum threshold range. Step 304: Set on and off conditions for the geofence. The on and off conditions for the geofence may be set according to time, the absolute position of the GT or UGT, or the relative position between the GT and the UGT, or a single condition may be set, or a composite condition may be set. Step 305: The user selects whether or not to set a buffer area. Step 306: When setting a buffer area, a buffer area region may be set according to a geofence, where the SBA is set near the geofence boundary outside the geofence, and the DBA is set inside the geofence. Step 307: Determine whether the size of the buffer area region meets the requirement, mainly determine whether the size of the buffer area region is within the maximum and minimum threshold range, SBA also needs to determine whether this region is outside the geofence and close to the fence edge, DBA also needs to determine whether this region is within the geofence. Step 308: Set on and off conditions for the buffer area, and set the on and off conditions of the geofence according to time, the absolute position of the GT or UGT, and the relative position between the GT and the UGT, or set a single condition or a composite condition. Step 309: The setting is completed.

[0034] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation steps for the safe buffer area and the dangerous buffer area may include:

[0035] Step 401: The geofence is in an on state. Step 402: All trackers bound to the APP report location information according to the configured positioning mode (generally, the positioning mode of tracker-based products is divided into periodic positioning and real-time positioning). Step 403: It is determined according to the position information of the UGT whether the UGT has entered the buffer area from within the fence. Step 404: If the UGT enters the SBA from within the fence, push corresponding presentation information to the GT; if the UGT enters the DBA from within the fence, the environment in which the UGT is located is dangerous, and in addition to pushing corresponding alarm information to the GT, switch the UGT positioning mode to real-time positioning. Step 405: According to the position information of the UGT, it is determined whether the UGT has entered the buffer area from outside the fence. Step 406: If the UGT enters the SBA from outside the fence, push corresponding presentation information to the GT; if the UGT enters the DBA from outside the fence, the environment in which the UGT is located is dangerous, and in addition to pushing corresponding alarm information to the GT, switch the UGT positioning mode to real-time positioning. Step 407: According to the position information of the UGT, it is determined whether the UGT has entered the fence from the buffer area. Step 408: When the UGT enters the fence from the buffer area, it may push corresponding presentation information to the GT, and switch the positioning mode to periodic positioning. Step 409: According to the position information of the UGT, it is determined whether the UGT has gone outside the buffer area and out of the fence. Step 410: If the UGT goes out of the fence from the buffer area, the environment in which the UGT is located is dangerous, and in addition to pushing corresponding alarm information to the GT, switch the UGT positioning mode to real-time positioning. Step 411: The UGT maintains its current state.

[0036] The geofence installation method according to the present application will be further introduced below with reference to the drawings and examples.

[0037] The setting and use of the geofence and buffer area can both be done through the APP interface, and the schematic diagram of the APP interface for turning on or off the buffer area according to the location of the Tracker is shown in Figures 5 to 10.

[0038] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the time zone set for going home from school, when the GT (student's guardian) is located outside the SBA, the DBA is turned on and the SBA is turned off. When the UGT enters the DBA from within the geofence, the environment in which the UGT is located is dangerous, and in addition to pushing the corresponding alarm information to the GT, the UGT positioning mode is switched to real-time positioning.

[0039] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing how the DBA is turned off and the SBA is turned on when the GT (student's guardian) is located within the SBA during the school dismissal time. When the UGT enters the SBA from within the geofence, it pushes the corresponding presentation information to the GT.

[0040] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram in which when the distance between the GT and the UGT is set to be smaller than the safety threshold, both the DBA and the SBA are turned off, and the environment in which the UGT is placed is safe.

[0041] 8 is a schematic diagram showing that when the time is set to school and GT1 (a student's guardian) is located within the SBA, the DBA is turned off and the SBA is turned on. When the UGT enters the fence from the buffer area, it may push the corresponding presentation information to the GT and switch the UGT positioning mode to periodic positioning.

[0042] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing how the DBA is turned on and the SBA is turned off during the school day when GT1 (student's guardian) is located outside the SBA and the distance between GT2 (teacher) and the UGT is greater than the safety threshold. When the UGT goes out of the buffer area and out of the fence, the environment in which the UGT is located is dangerous, and in addition to pushing the corresponding alarm information to the GT, the UGT positioning mode is switched to real-time positioning.

[0043] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing that when the distance between GT2 (teacher) and the UGT is less than the safety threshold during school hours, both DBA and SBA are turned off, and the environment in which the UGT is located is safe.

[0044] Each of the three conditions, namely, the time period, the absolute position of the GT or UGT, and the relative position between the GT and the UGT, may be set in multiple cases. When a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship exists between the GT and the UGT, the absolute position and relative position conditions may be jointly set based on the positions of multiple Trackers.

[0045] In summary, this application can be applied to all scenarios where geofences are installed. This application proposes to use a buffer area in conjunction with a geofence, and expands the on / off condition selection of the geofence and the buffer area, greatly improving the practicality of traditional geofences. This patent can be applied to various products related to trackers.
