Member 130 is for example realized by single-chip microcomputer.
Location equipment 100 can also include battery 150, charhing unit 160 and first switch device 170.Charhing unit 160
Including charge integrated circuit 161 and charging indicator light 162, it can be connected to outside for example, by USB charger (not shown)
Power supply is charged.Certainly, battery 150 and charhing unit 160 can also be located at outside location equipment 100.
Below by the operation principle of exemplary description location equipment 100.
Power control unit 130 has normal mode of operation and standby mode.Power control unit 130 is always maintained at powering up
State, unless battery electric power exhausts.In the normal mode of operation, power control unit 130 passes through the first control output end PWR_
CTL, which exports the first control signal, makes first switch device 170 (being, for example, PMOS) conducting, so as to using voltage VBATIN as communication unit
Member 120 and satellite positioning unit 110 are powered.In most cases, power control unit 130 may be in normal work mould
Formula, such as when location equipment 100 inserts charger or when battery 160 has enough electricity, voltage VBAT triggering Electric controls
Unit 130 enters normal mode of operation.Under certain condition, for example, reach some special time periods (such as at night 9 points to next day
9 points of morning) either into some specific regions (such as get home or school), power control unit 130 can enter low-power consumption
Standby mode, now first switch device 170 turns off, so that communication unit 120 and the power failure of satellite positioning unit 110, this
It will be discussed in further detail later.
Communication unit 120 has normal mode of operation, park mode and power-down mode.In normal mode of operation, communication
Unit 120 gathers positional information by satellite positioning unit 110 and positional information is uploaded into positioning service by mobile network
Device (not shown).
The situation that power control unit 130 is under normal mode of operation is discussed first.
In one embodiment, communication unit 120 includes first timer (not shown), first timer setting satellite
Bit location 110 gathers the very first time interval of positional information, such as five minutes.Expired in first timer (i.e. by the very first time
Interval) when, communication unit 120 under normal mode of operation is by control output end VGPS_CTL to satellite positioning unit
110 send the second control signals to open satellite positioning unit 110.In Fig. 1, the second control signal is sent to and satellite
The connected second switch device 180 of bit location 110, the second switch device 180 turn on, so as to which satellite positioning unit 110 obtains
Power and start working.Satellite positioning unit 110 carries out satellite fix and positional information is sent into communication unit 120.It is logical
Letter unit 120 also includes buffer, for storing the positional information received from satellite positioning unit 110.Communication unit 120 has
Such as SIM card, it can be passed through after positional information is received and positional information is reported into location-server immediately by antenna.Report
Cheng Hou, communication unit 120 can enter the park mode of low-power consumption.Satellite positioning unit 110 can after positional information has been sent
To automatically shut power off, either communication unit 120 can receive positional information or by position from satellite positioning unit 110
After information reporting is to location-server, shutdown signal is sent by control output end VGPS_CTL to close satellite positioning unit
110.When again passing by very first time interval, communication unit 120 and satellite positioning unit 110 repeat said process, so as to adopt
Collect new positional information.So, satellite positioning unit 110 when satellite fix without being closed, and communicates
The holding state in low-power consumption when upload location information is not needed of unit 120, to save electric power.In addition, satellite
Bit location 110, such as model UBX7020 GPS chip, can have single real-time clock (RTC) power supply, the electric power by
Telecommunication circuit 120 provides, even if telecommunication circuit 120 is in a dormant state.Due to the presence of the RTC power supplys, it is ensured that every time
Satellite positioning unit 110 can be with fast search to satellite after opening, and positioning time may be in or so 2-3 seconds, and do not have in RTC power supplys
In the case of having power supply (such as telecommunication circuit is fully powered off), satellite positioning unit 110 can require over 20 after unlatching
The time of second could be positioned.Certainly, satellite positioning unit 110 can also just close only when need not position, and
It is not to be closed after each positioning.For example, under the higher scene of the requirement of real-time to positional information, such as when footwear are in
During the other region of low level security (such as street), then satellite positioning unit 110 can be always maintained at opening and constantly providing position
Information is to communication unit 120.Closing the option of satellite positioning unit 110 can set in communication unit 120, such as each
Close after receiving the position data of satellite positioning unit 110, closed after positional information is reported into location-server immediately,
Do not close within one section of scheduled time or do not close always.The option can be set by location-server according to occasion, such as positioning
Standby 100 position is set to communication unit 120.In addition to satellite positioning unit 110 carries out satellite fix, communication unit 120
Auxiliary positioning can also be carried out, for example, A-GPS, it is positioned using the base station of mobile network.Auxiliary positioning is due to by base station
Positioning, therefore precision is not so good as satellite fix height, but locating speed is fast.When auxiliary positioning coordinates satellite fix to shorten positioning
Between, therefore a satellite fix and multiple auxiliary positioning can be for example used within a period of time.In addition, when location equipment enters
During the difficult specific region of satellite fix (as indoor), it is possible to use only auxiliary positioning.The switching of satellite fix and auxiliary positioning
It can be controlled by communication unit, location-server can also be controlled using instruction by communication unit.
In another embodiment, communication unit 120 can also include second timer (not shown), and second timer is set
Determine the second time interval of the upload location information of communication unit 120.Second time interval is more than very first time interval, preferably
The very first time interval integral multiple, such as 30 minutes.When second timer expires (i.e. by the second time interval), communication unit
The positional information accumulated in buffer is reported server by member 120 together.So, communication unit 120 can be by a plurality of position
Information sends jointly to server, so as to save the flow and electric power that communication process is consumed.
The very first time interval and the second time interval when can dispatch from the factory either user pre-set.Or first
Time interval and the second time interval can also be set by server.Judge that location equipment 100 enters safety zone for example, working as
When (such as family or school), server can increase very first time interval and the second time interval, that is, reduce collection and report position
The frequency of confidence breath, to save electric power.When judging that location equipment 100 enters low level security other region (such as street), service
Device can reduce very first time interval and the second time interval, the i.e. frequency of increase collection and reporting position information, to obtain more
More and stronger real-time positional informations.
In the case of the second time interval is shorter, for example, the second time interval is within 2 hours, i.e., less than on 2 hours
Report a positional information, then it is suitable, communication unit to carry out power consumption control using the above-mentioned two timer of communication unit 120
Member 120 is in normal mode of operation or park mode.It is longer for the second time interval, such as the threshold value more than 2 hours, then
Above-mentioned two timer can be configured by power control unit 130, because the frequency of use of communication unit 120 in this case
Very low, power control unit 130 can control first switch device 170 to turn off by the first control output end 132, so that logical
Letter unit 120 is powered off to save electric power.Communication unit 120 can not receive any instruction after powering off, now the first and second timings
Device should be set in power control unit 130, i.e. power control unit 130 includes the first and second timers, for controlling
Sequential, when corresponding timer expires, power control unit 130 controls first switch device by the first control output end 132
Part 170 turns on and performs the collection or upload of corresponding positional information.The first and second timers in communication unit 120 are (such as
If fruit has) it can be deactivated.This mode by communication unit power-off is not suitable for the shorter situation of the second time interval, because
Larger electric current is had when communication unit starts after a loss of power, if frequently Switch Communication module can increase power consumption on the contrary.
Certainly, it is all also possible come control sequential using power control unit 130 in both cases, it is in communication unit 120
During the park mode of low-power consumption, power control unit 130 can pass through the second control output end when corresponding timer expires
WAKE_UP exports the second control signal to wake up communication unit 120 to communication unit 120, performs adopting for corresponding positional information
Collection uploads.
Communication unit 120 first can be connected and interact with location-server after waking up or start from resting state every time,
Report the current state of oneself, location-server decides whether the upload location information of communication unit 120.In general,
SECO in communication unit 120 and power control unit 130 uses the form of relative time, and location equipment is using certain
May generation time skew after time.In one embodiment, location-server can be periodically or in each and communication unit
With in Absolute Time Synchronization communication unit 120 and power control unit 130 when member 120 connects, with correction time.
In one embodiment, in order to further save electric power, power control unit 130 can also lead under certain condition
Cross the first control output end 132 control first switch device 170 to turn off, so that communication module 120 and satellite positioning unit 110
Power-off.Power control unit 130 oneself enters the standby mode of low-power consumption.Into standby mode specified conditions for example including,
The longer situation of second time interval as described above, after communication unit 120 uploads positional information, distance is next time to fixed
The interval of position server upload location information is longer (such as more than 2 hours), and power control unit 130 can make communication unit 120
Powered off with satellite positioning unit 110.In addition it is also possible to set these specified conditions according to the application scenarios of location equipment 100.Example
Such as, the scene of sole part is located at for above-mentioned location equipment 100, the condition into standby mode can be specific including reaching some
Period (such as at night 9 points to 9 points of morning next day) enters some specific region, and it is high that specific region includes level of security
Region, such as family or school.In this special time period or specific region, child is likely to take off shoes, therefore must not
Continue to monitor its position.Power control unit 130 can include standby interval timer, for setting the special time period.
Communication module can receive the instruction for setting standby interval timer, the Electric control when reaching particular moment from location-server
Unit 130 is automatically into standby mode.Or server can enter determining up to particular moment or location equipment 100
The instruction for making power control unit 130 enter standby mode is sent during specific region to communication module, communication module receives this and referred to
Show, power control unit 130 is hence into standby mode.Communication module can receive to enter on location equipment from location-server
Enter the prompting of specific region and the prompting is sent to power management module, or when location-server determines that location equipment enters
During specific region the instruction on making power control unit enter standby mode is received from location-server.
In one embodiment, motion sensor 140 is may be equipped with to realize more intelligent energy-conservation.Motion sensor
140 are always maintained at work, even if power control unit 130 enters standby mode.Motion sensor 140 for example passes including gravity
Sensor.In the above example, Gravity changer means the motion of shoes, i.e. child may put on shoes and walk about, now may be used
To recover monitoring.When sensing motion, motion sensor 140 sends the 3rd control signal to power control unit 130, by after
Person wakes up from standby mode and enters normal mode of operation, starts the collection and upload of positional information.In order to avoid wrong report, in quilt
After wake-up, power control unit 130 can first carry out deterministic process, and to determine sensed motion, reflection is normally walked about really,
Rather than shoes are accidentally moved.Such as can count motion sensor 140 offer a period of time (such as 30 seconds) in motion/
Displacement variable, if beyond threshold value, judge to be walked about, power up and start for communication unit and satellite positioning unit
The collection and upload of positional information；Otherwise judge it is wrong report, power control unit 130 returns to standby mode.The threshold value can be by
Server is set.In addition, when power control unit 130 is in normal mode of operation, if motion sensor is when longer
Between motion is not sensed in section or the amount of exercise of sensing is less, for example, threshold value of the period more than 10 minutes, then motion passes
Sensor 140 can send the 3rd control signal to power control unit 130, the latter is entered standby mould from normal mode of operation
Formula.
Motion sensor is, for example, model LIS3DSH gravity sensor, and using LGA16 ultra-miniature packages, 16 are drawn
