Positioning method, device, equipment and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a positioning method, device, equipment and system. The method comprises the following steps: when the positioning equipment needs to be positioned, judging whether a current position of the positioning equipment needs to be updated or not; when the current position of the positioning equipment needs to be updated, starting a GPS positioning module of the positioning equipment; obtaining nearby Wi-Fi hotspot data of the current positioning equipment; uploading the Wi-Fi hotspot data to a positioning server, so that the positioning server obtains first position information according to the Wi-Fi hotspot data, and, when preset conditions are met, updates the current position of the positioning equipment according to the first position information and returns a command to stop GPS positioning; when the command to stop the GPS positioning returned by the positioning server is received, closing the GPS positioning module; and when second position information is obtained through the GPS positioning module, closing the GPS positioning module, and sending the second position information to the positioning server, so that the positioning server updates the current position of the positioning equipment according to the second position information. The positioning method, device, equipment and system provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantage that positioning power consumption of the positioning equipment can be effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of positioning, in particular to a positioning method, device, equipment and system. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the mobile Internet industry, positioning services have become a mainstream service. Various positioning devices provide great convenience for travel navigation, remote positioning tracking, and item loss prevention. [0003] At present, most positioning devices use GPS positioning to obtain location information. GPS positioning has high positioning accuracy and can achieve accurate positioning for users. Specifically, most positioning devices turn on the internal GPS positioning module when they need to obtain the current position information, and the GPS positioning module continues to receive satellite signals, and then the internal main control module analyzes the position and distance of visible satellites, etc. Combined with the corresponding alg...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found that the prior art has the following deficiencies. After the positioning device turns on the GPS positioning module, the GPS positioning module will always work until the corresponding position information is obtained through the GPS positioning module. However, The GPS positioning module has a working blind area, and it is almost impossible to locate successfully in its working blind area. Moreover, the power consumption of the GPS positioning module is very large. Therefore, the positioning power consumption of the prior art is very large. Existing technologies are difficult to meet the long-term positioning needs of users
