The application discloses a shopping
cart finding method, which comprises the following steps: setting a locator on the shopping
cart, positioning the position of the shopping
cart by the locator, and reporting the position of the shopping cart to a
server or an application end through a gateway or a
base station; a user obtains the position of the shopping cart from the
server or the application end, and finds the shopping cart. The locator is configured with a motion trigger task and a
motion detection task, the motion trigger task sets a motion flag to 1 and turns off a trigger, and the
motion detection task sets the motion flag to 0 and turns on the trigger. After receiving the position information, the
server or the application end sends feedback information to the locator, and the locator receives the feedback information after reporting the position, if the feedback information is not received, the locator enters a missing rescue working mode: a short-period repeated position reporting task. When the shopping cart is pushed to a place without fixed gateway or
base station coverage and needs to be found back, the user carries a
mobile gateway or a
base station which keeps online with the server or the application end to search for the shopping cart.
