A positioning method, a method for determining a safe area, and related devices

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a positioning method, a security area determining method and a related device. According to the embodiment provided by the invention, a terminal receives the position information, which is transmitted by a server, of a security area and acquires the information of the N-th positioning point according to a first set period; when the N-th positioning point is determined in the security area, the information of the N+i-th positioning point is acquired according to a second set period; and the acquired information of the positioning point is transmitted to the server, wherein the period duration of the second set period is longer than the period duration of the first set period. According to the embodiment provided by the invention, the terminal determines that the positioning point is within the security area according to the received position information of the security area and the acquired position information of the positioning point, and prolongs the positioning period duration; the frequency of positioning scanning is reduced; and the power consumption of the terminal is effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a positioning method, a method for determining a safe area and related devices. Background technique [0002] Positioning technologies have been widely used, and common positioning technologies mainly include satellite positioning, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, wireless fidelity) network positioning, mobile communication technology positioning, and the like. In order to achieve tracking, in addition to determining the location of the object, it is also necessary to upload the location information through the network. Currently, a terminal used for positioning generally includes two parts, namely, a GPS (Global Positioning System, Global Positioning System) positioning module and a communication module. The terminal periodically collects positioning data through the GPS positioning module, and the communication module regularly reports to the server through the communi...
