Positioning method, device, equipment and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a positioning method, a device, equipment and a system. The method comprises steps: when positioning equipment needs to be positioned, whether the current position of the positioning equipment needs to be updated is judged; when the current position of the positioning equipment needs to be updated, WIFI hotspot data near the current positioning equipment are acquired; the WIFI hotspot data are uploaded to a positioning server to enable the positioning server to acquire first position information according to the WIFI hotspot data, the current position of the positioning equipment is updated according to the first position information when a preset condition is met, and when the preset condition is not met, a GPS positioning starting command is returned; when the GPS positioning starting command returned by the positioning server is acquired, a GPS positioning module is started; and when second position information is acquired through the GPS positioning module, the GPS positioning module is closed, the second position information is sent to the positioning server to enable the positioning server to update the current position of the positioning equipment according to the second position information. By adopting the embodiment of the invention, the 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
