[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 below with reference to the drawings and examples. The examples 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 "plural items") is two or more, and terms such as "greater than," "smaller than," "more than," etc. are understood to be exclusive of the number itself, while terms such as "greater than," "less than," "within," etc. are understood to be inclusive of the number itself. Where terms such as "first," "second," etc. are used, they are only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance, or to imply the number of the indicated technical features, or to imply the context of the indicated technical features.

[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 actual usage scenarios, the embodiments of the present application provide a geofence installation method, device, and computer-readable storage medium, which determine the supervised device that needs to be supervised by a supervising device, generate a geofence by the supervising device, set a buffer area at the boundary of the geofence, and set the on / off conditions of the geofence and buffer area according to the usage scenario in which the geofence is applied. When the geofence and buffer area are turned on, if the supervised device determines that it has entered or left the buffer area, the supervising device receives prompting information transmitted by the supervised device. Based on this, the user can freely set the geofence and allow 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 geofence installation and use more suited to the user's usage scenario and improving the user's usage experience.

[0016] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is a flowchart 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: Determine the supervised device that needs to be supervised by the supervising device. 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. When the geofence and buffer area are on, if it is determined that the supervised device has entered or left the buffer area, the supervising device receives the presentation information sent by the supervised device.

[0018] In one embodiment, before installing a geofence, a guardian device (GT) and a supervised 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 supervised device is a tracker device. The relationship between GTs and UGTs may be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. For example, one UGT may be associated with one or more GTs, and multiple UGTs may be associated with one or more GTs.

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

[0020] In one embodiment, three methods may be provided to set the on / off conditions for the buffer area. The first method may provide a time-dependent setting, 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 location 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 a geofence is set up, the user may set a buffer area around the boundary of the geofence, and the buffer area may be turned on and off in a specific manner. When the buffer area is turned on, if the tracker device under supervision is within the buffer area, specific notification information is sent to the supervising device.

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

[0023] In one embodiment, when the usage scenario is a school, taking students going to school as an example, parents typically set the school area as a geofence and set up an SBA and DBA to better suit the actual usage scenario. In this embodiment, the GT and UGT are first set up through a specific app, and then a geofence is set up for the UGT. The geofence can be set by selecting a location, manually drawing it, or by having the GT travel a closed-loop route. The SBA and DBA are set up for the geofence, and a buffer area is set up in the fence boundary area. Typically, the SBA is set outside the fence boundary, and the DBA is set inside the fence boundary. The on / off conditions for the geofence, SBA, and DBA are set. For example, when students are going to school, the school area is set as a geofence, the area inside the school gate is set as a DBA, and the area outside the school gate is set as an SBA. Time-based activation can be set, i.e., the buffer area or geofence can be set to activate within a fixed time period, with the DBA being activated during the school arrival time and the SBA being activated during the school dismissal time. Activation can be configured according to the absolute location of the GT or UGT. For example, if a buffer area or geofence is configured to activate when the GT is within a certain area, SBA can be turned on and DBA can be turned off when the GT's geographic location is within the SBA area. If the GT's geographic location is outside the SBA area, SBA can be turned off and DBA can be turned on. Activation can also be configured according to the relative location of the GT and UGT. For example, if a buffer area or geofence is configured to activate when the distance between the GT and UGT is greater than a safety threshold, geofence, SBA, or DBA can be turned off when the distance between the GT and UGT is less than the safety threshold, and geofence, SBA, or DBA can be turned on when the distance between the GT and UGT is greater than the safety threshold. Users can configure different on / off conditions individually or in combination according to their needs. When a UGT enters or leaves a buffer area, specific alarm or reminder information can be sent to the GT. When a UGT enters a DBA, if the previous UGT was using periodic positioning, its positioning method can be switched to real-time positioning.

[0024] In one embodiment, when the UGT and the GT have a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship, multiple conditions may be set to turn on or off the buffer area. For example, if 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 GT1 is located within the SBA area and GT2 is located outside the DBA area.

[0025] In one embodiment, the Tracker can communicate with the cloud through its wireless communication module, so that the Tracker can receive instructions from the cloud and send its related information to the cloud. Through the Tracker system APP, the cloud can obtain and control the related information of the Tracker in the related account.

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

[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 (referred to as GT) and a supervised device (referred to as UGT) must first be set up. The guardian device may be a Tracker device or a mobile phone with a Tracker management APP installed, and the supervised device is a Tracker device. The relationship between GTs and UGTs may be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. For example, one UGT may be set up with one or more GTs, and multiple UGTs may be set up with one GT or more GTs.

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

[0030] Step 201: Bind the Tracker that needs to be associated to the 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 notified 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, it is suggested to the user that the number of UGTs is incorrect and needs to be reset. Step 207: Determine whether there is a GT match for all UGTs 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 caretaker device may include the following three methods: first, obtaining a geofence selected by a caretaker on the caretaker device; second, obtaining a geofence drawn by a caretaker on the caretaker device; and third, generating a geofence from the movement trajectory of the caretaker device. The buffer area may include a safe buffer area and a dangerous buffer area. When setting a buffer area in the boundary area of ​​a geofence, the safe buffer area is set outside the geofence and the dangerous buffer area is set inside the geofence, where the safe buffer area and the dangerous buffer area are smaller than the geofence.

[0032] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the steps of establishing the geofence, the safety buffer area SBA and the danger buffer area DBA may include:

[0033] Step 301: Select the UGT in the tracker that has been bound to the APP to set up the geofence. Step 302: The geofence may be established by location selection, manual drawing, or by having the GT travel a closed-loop path. Step 303: Determine whether the fence area meets the requirements, mainly determine whether the size of the fence area is within the 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. A single condition may be set, or a composite condition may be set. Step 305: The user selects whether to set a buffer area. Step 306: When setting a buffer area, the buffer area region may be set according to the geofence, and 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 meets the requirements, mainly determine whether the size of the buffer area is within the maximum and minimum threshold range. SBA also needs to determine whether this area is outside the geofence and close to the fence edge, and DBA also needs to determine whether this area is within the geofence. Step 308: Set the ON / OFF conditions for the buffer area according to the time, the absolute position of the GT or UGT, and the relative position between the GT and the UGT. Buffer Area On and off conditions may be set, a single condition may be set, or a composite condition may be set. 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 that have bound the APP report their 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 location 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 the corresponding notification 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 the corresponding warning information to the GT, switch the UGT positioning mode to real-time positioning. Step 405: According to the location 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 the 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 the corresponding warning information to the GT, switch the UGT positioning mode to real-time positioning. Step 407: Determine whether the UGT has entered the fence from the buffer area according to the UGT location information. Step 408: When the UGT enters the fence from the buffer area, it may push the corresponding presentation information to the GT, and switch the positioning mode to periodic positioning. Step 409: Determine whether the UGT has left the buffer area and gone outside the fence according to the UGT location information. Step 410: If the UGT leaves the buffer area and goes 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 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 geofence and buffer area can be set up and used through the APP interface. The schematic diagram of the APP interface that turns on or off the buffer area according to the tracker's location is shown in Figures 5 to 10.

[0038] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the system configured for dismissal 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 deemed dangerous, and the corresponding alarm information is sent to the GT. In addition, the UGT positioning mode is switched to real-time positioning.

[0039] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the system, which is set to dismissal time and turns off DBA and turns on SBA when GT (student's guardian) is located within SBA. When UGT enters SBA from within the geofence, it pushes the corresponding presentation information to GT.

[0040] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram showing that 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 the situation when the school attendance time is set and the DBA is turned off and the SBA is turned on when the GT1 (student's guardian) is located within the SBA. When the UGT enters the fence from the buffer area, the corresponding presentation information is pushed to the GT, and the UGT positioning mode may be switched to periodic positioning.

[0042] Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of the school-time setting. 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, the DBA is turned on and the SBA is turned off. When the UGT leaves the buffer area and goes outside the fence, the environment in which the UGT is located is deemed dangerous, and the corresponding alarm information is sent to the GT. In addition, 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 UGT is less than the safety threshold during school hours, both DBA and SBA are turned off, and the environment in which 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 multiple times. If there is a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship between the GT and the UGT, the absolute position and relative position conditions may be jointly set according to the positions of multiple trackers.

[0045] In summary, this application can be applied to all scenarios where geofences are installed. This application proposes the use of buffer areas in conjunction with geofences, and by expanding the on / off condition selection for geofences and buffer areas, it significantly improves the practicality of traditional geofences. This patent can be applied to various tracker-related products.
