技术领域technical field

本发明是有关于一种定位方法及装置，且特别是有关于一种位置选取方法及装置。The present invention relates to a positioning method and device, and in particular to a location selection method and device.

背景技术Background technique

近年来，随着电子科技及通讯技术的不断演进及改良，诸如手机(CellularPhone)、个人数字助理(Personal Digital Assistant，PDA)、个人数字助理手机、车用计算机(Car PC)等不占空间或可随身携带的电子装置也推陈出新。市面上的电子装置莫不整合多项功能以提升其竞争力，除了一般的照相、通话、上网功能的外，现在连全球定位系统(Global Positioning System，GPS)、电子地图与导航系统也都整合在手持通讯装置上。使用者可以随时随地通过电子地图及GPS掌握自己的位置，同时也可通过导航系统的规划及指引，找出最佳路线以快速、安全地前往目的地。In recent years, with the continuous evolution and improvement of electronic technology and communication technology, mobile phones (CellularPhone), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), PDA mobile phones, and car computers (Car PC) do not take up space or Electronic devices that can be carried with you are also emerging. All electronic devices on the market integrate multiple functions to enhance their competitiveness. In addition to the general camera, call, and Internet functions, now even the Global Positioning System (Global Positioning System, GPS), electronic maps and navigation systems are also integrated in the on the handheld communication device. Users can know their location anytime and anywhere through electronic maps and GPS, and at the same time, through the planning and guidance of the navigation system, they can find the best route to get to the destination quickly and safely.

GPS是结合卫星与无线通讯的一种定位技术，其能提供精确的定位、速度及时间信息，而电子地图则可与GPS结合，提供使用者了解其目前所在位置与目的地位置的相对关系。其中，使用者先将电子地图加载电子装置，再通过电子装置的触碰屏幕或键盘等输入装置，选择或输入所欲前往的目的地或是兴趣点(Point OfInterest，POI)，电子装置即会在电子地图上显示这些兴趣点的位置。GPS is a positioning technology that combines satellites and wireless communications. It can provide accurate positioning, speed and time information. Electronic maps can be combined with GPS to provide users with the relative relationship between their current location and their destination. Among them, the user first loads the electronic map into the electronic device, and then selects or inputs the desired destination or point of interest (POI) through the touch screen or keyboard of the electronic device, and the electronic device will immediately Display the location of these points of interest on the electronic map.

然而，GPS只有在能够接收到卫星信号的场所才能够定位，一旦使用者将GPS携入建筑物或其它会遮蔽到卫星信号的场所时，就无法顺利进行定位。在此种状况下，若使用者需要将本身的位置告知他人时，就必须走到窗边或是户外等收得到卫星信号的位置，才能够重新定位，相当不方便。因此，有必要提供其它的替代方案以供使用者选择，以随时随地掌握本身位置。However, GPS can only be positioned in a place where satellite signals can be received. Once the user brings the GPS into a building or other places where satellite signals are blocked, the positioning cannot be performed smoothly. In this situation, if the user needs to inform others of his or her location, he must go to a window or outdoors where the satellite signal is received to relocate, which is quite inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to provide other alternatives for users to choose, so as to know their own location anytime and anywhere.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

除了全球定位系统(Global Positioning System，GPS)可用来取得移动装置的精确位置外，目前许多通讯系统的信号也可以用来估算移动装置的粗略位置，例如全球移动通信(Global System for Mobile Communication，GSM)系统、个人手持式电话系统(Personal Handy-phone System，PHS)或码多重撷取(CodeDivision Multiple Access，CDMA)系统、无线兼容认证(Wireless fidelity，Wi-Fi)、无线电中继器(Radio Repeater)或无线电广播电台(Radio Broadcaster)等。本发明即通过此些通讯系统的定位，先行取得移动装置的粗略位置，并将此位置周围的地图显示在移动装置上，由使用者在地图上直接选取所要的精确位置，例如本身所在的精确位置。据此，本发明得以在使用者进入建筑物或其它有遮蔽物的场所时，仍能取得所需的位置信息，并分享给远程的其它联络人。In addition to the Global Positioning System (GPS), which can be used to obtain the precise location of the mobile device, the signals of many current communication systems can also be used to estimate the rough location of the mobile device, such as the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) ) system, Personal Handy-phone System (PHS) or code multiple access (CodeDivision Multiple Access, CDMA) system, wireless compatibility authentication (Wireless fidelity, Wi-Fi), radio repeater (Radio Repeater ) or Radio Broadcasting Station (Radio Broadcaster), etc. The present invention obtains the rough position of the mobile device in advance through the positioning of these communication systems, and displays the map around the position on the mobile device, and the user directly selects the desired precise position on the map, such as the precise location where the user is located. Location. Accordingly, the present invention can still obtain the required location information when the user enters a building or other sheltered places, and share it with other remote contacts.

图1是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的位置选取方法的流程图。请参照图1，本实施例适用于手机、智能型手机、个人数字助理、个人数字助理手机或车用计算机等移动装置，而用以取得位置信息，例如移动装置的位置信息，例如经纬度坐标、地址等。此方法的步骤如下：FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a location selection method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1, this embodiment is suitable for mobile devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, personal digital assistants, personal digital assistant mobile phones or car computers, and is used to obtain location information, such as location information of mobile devices, such as latitude and longitude coordinates, address etc. The steps for this method are as follows:

首先，由移动装置利用其本身的通讯模块进行定位，以取得一第一位置(步骤S102)，此第一位置为移动装置的一大概位置。详细地说，通讯模块例如是通过检测通讯业者基地台的信号强弱，并参考这些基地台的地理位置，而估算出移动装置目前所在的位置。由于基地台的信号容易受到建筑物的遮蔽或是传输距离的限制，因此由通讯模块估算的位置不一定很准确，但至少能够取得移动装置在地图上的大概位置。其中，所述通讯模块例如是全球移动通信系统、个人手持式电话系统、码多重撷取系统、无线兼容认证、无线电中继器或无线电广播电台等。Firstly, the mobile device uses its own communication module to perform positioning to obtain a first position (step S102 ), and the first position is an approximate position of the mobile device. Specifically, the communication module, for example, estimates the current location of the mobile device by detecting the signal strength of the base stations of the communication provider and referring to the geographical locations of these base stations. Because the signal of the base station is easily blocked by buildings or limited by the transmission distance, the position estimated by the communication module may not be very accurate, but at least the approximate position of the mobile device on the map can be obtained. Wherein, the communication module is, for example, a global system for mobile communication, a personal hand-held telephone system, a code multiple capture system, a wireless compatible certification, a radio repeater or a radio broadcasting station, and the like.

在取得移动装置目前大概所在的第一位置之后，即可根据此第一位置而在移动装置的屏幕上显示第一位置周围一特定范围内的电子地图(步骤S104)。其中，所述的特定范围是依电子地图的比例尺而定，通常是小于三公里半径的电子地图，以清楚地标示出第一位置周围所有的路名及地标，而方便使用者浏览并挑选本身所在的位置。After obtaining the first location where the mobile device is roughly currently located, an electronic map within a specific range around the first location can be displayed on the screen of the mobile device according to the first location (step S104 ). Wherein, the specified range is determined according to the scale of the electronic map, usually an electronic map with a radius of less than three kilometers, so as to clearly mark all the road names and landmarks around the first location, and facilitate users to browse and select their own location.

接着，由移动装置接收使用者在电子地图上选取的第二位置，此第二位置为一精确位置，而将此第二位置设定为一位置信息，例如为移动装置的位置信息(步骤S106)。详细地说，由于只有使用者知道自己目前是在地图上的哪个位置，因此在无法利用GPS定位的情况下，最准确的方式就是由使用者自行在地图上选取。而经由本发明的位置选取方法，就可以最快的速度以及最佳的比例将使用者目前所在位置附近的电子地图呈现在使用者面前，而使用者只需点选电子地图上的某个地标、路口，甚至门牌号码，移动装置就可自动将其设为移动装置的位置信息，如此同样可达到GPS精确定位的功效。Next, the second position selected by the user on the electronic map is received by the mobile device, the second position is an accurate position, and the second position is set as position information, such as the position information of the mobile device (step S106 ). Specifically, since only the user knows where he is currently on the map, the most accurate way is for the user to select on the map when GPS positioning cannot be used. And through the location selection method of the present invention, the electronic map near the user's current location can be presented in front of the user at the fastest speed and in the best ratio, and the user only needs to click a certain landmark on the electronic map , an intersection, or even a house number, the mobile device can automatically set it as the location information of the mobile device, so that the effect of GPS precise positioning can also be achieved.

值得一提的是，上述的位置选取方法可搭配GPS的方式来选取移动装置的位置信息。举例来说，在使用通讯模块进行定位前，可先利用GPS检测卫星信号，若GPS可检测到卫星信号，则直接使用GPS定位所得的经纬度坐标来作为移动装置的位置信息。It is worth mentioning that the above location selection method can be combined with GPS to select the location information of the mobile device. For example, before using the communication module for positioning, the GPS can be used to detect satellite signals. If the GPS can detect the satellite signals, the longitude and latitude coordinates obtained by the GPS positioning can be directly used as the location information of the mobile device.

另一方面，上述的位置选取方法亦可搭配地点清单(例如已知地点清单)的方式来选取移动装置的位置信息。使用者可以将其喜爱或常去的餐厅或景点设定成地点清单的形式，将这些兴趣点(Point of Interest，POI)以类似联络人清单的方式建立成一个地点清单，其中除了记录兴趣点的名称、位置之外，还可记录其照片、地址、电话等其它信息。而当使用者进入地点清单中的某个地点时，就只需从中选取自己所在的地点，移动装置即可自动将该地点的位置设定为例如其目前所在的位置信息、欲碰面的位置信息、或是欲传送给另一使用者的位置信息。On the other hand, the location selection method described above can also be used in combination with a location list (such as a list of known locations) to select the location information of the mobile device. Users can set their favorite or frequently visited restaurants or attractions in the form of a location list, and create these POIs (Point of Interest, POI) into a location list in a manner similar to a contact list, except for recording POIs In addition to their names and locations, their photos, addresses, phone numbers and other information can also be recorded. When the user enters a certain place in the place list, he only needs to select the place where he is, and the mobile device can automatically set the position of the place as the current location information, the location information of the desired meeting, etc. , or location information to be transmitted to another user.

通过上述位置选取方法，移动装置即可依照设定自动选择合适的方式来选取位置，或是依照使用者的指示选取位置。而在取得位置信息后，移动装置还可将位置信息嵌入文件中，并将文件传送到远程装置上，而能够让远程的联络人得知例如使用者目前所在的位置或欲碰面的位置，以下则再举一实施例详细说明。Through the above location selection method, the mobile device can automatically select a suitable method to select a location according to the setting, or select a location according to a user's instruction. After obtaining the location information, the mobile device can also embed the location information into the file and transmit the file to the remote device, so that the remote contact can know the current location of the user or the location where the user wants to meet, as follows Then another embodiment will be given in detail.

图2是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的位置选取方法的流程图。请参照图2，本实施例适用于手机、智能型手机、个人数字助理、个人数字助理手机或车用计算机等移动装置，而用以取得移动装置的位置信息，并传送至远程装置。此方法的步骤如下：FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a position selection method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 2 , this embodiment is applicable to mobile devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, personal digital assistants, personal digital assistant mobile phones or car computers, and is used to obtain location information of the mobile devices and transmit them to remote devices. The steps for this method are as follows:

首先，由移动装置接收第一选择指令(步骤S202)，而根据此第一选择指令，选择以电子地图嵌入、目前位置嵌入或地点清单嵌入的方式取得一位置信息，例如移动装置目前所在的位置信息(步骤S204)。其中，移动装置可以在使用者激活位置选取功能时，先在屏幕上显示多个选项，以供使用者选取所欲使用的位置选取方式，并根据使用者选取的选项，产生对应的选择指令以执行位置选取。First, the mobile device receives a first selection instruction (step S202), and according to the first selection instruction, choose to obtain a location information by embedding an electronic map, embedding a current location, or embedding a location list, such as the current location of the mobile device information (step S204). Wherein, when the user activates the position selection function, the mobile device can first display multiple options on the screen for the user to select the desired position selection method, and generate corresponding selection commands according to the options selected by the user. Perform location selection.

详细地说，若移动装置接收到以电子地图嵌入方式选取位置的选择指令时，则利用其本身的通讯模块进行定位，以取得目前所在的大概位置，接着再根据此位置在屏幕上显示目前位置周围一特定范围内的电子地图，最后则检测使用者在电子地图上点选的地点，而将该地点的经纬度坐标或地址设定为一位置信息，例如移动装置的位置信息。In detail, if the mobile device receives a selection instruction to select a location by embedding an electronic map, it uses its own communication module to perform positioning to obtain the current approximate location, and then displays the current location on the screen according to this location The electronic map within a specific range around, finally detects the location clicked by the user on the electronic map, and sets the longitude and latitude coordinates or address of the location as a location information, such as the location information of the mobile device.

另一方面，若移动装置接收到以目前位置嵌入方式选取位置的选择指令时，则会激活其本身的定位模块进行定位，以取得目前所在的精确位置，而直接以此精确位置作为移动装置的位置信息。On the other hand, if the mobile device receives a selection command to select a location by embedding the current location, it will activate its own positioning module for positioning to obtain the current precise location, and directly use this precise location as the location of the mobile device. location information.

再者，若移动装置接收到以地点清单(例如已知地点清单)嵌入方式选取位置的选择指令时，则会在屏幕上显示一个地点清单，其中包括多个地点的位置信息，然后由使用者自行选择其目前所在的地点，而将该地点的地址设定为一位置信息，例如移动装置的位置信息。Furthermore, if the mobile device receives a selection instruction for selecting a location by embedding a location list (such as a known location list), a location list will be displayed on the screen, which includes location information of multiple locations, and then the user The current location is selected by oneself, and the address of the location is set as location information, such as the location information of the mobile device.

举例来说，图3是依照本发明一实施例所绘示的选择位置选取方式的使用者接口。请参照图3，当使用者需要选取位置时，例如是在移动装置的使用者接口中激活位置选取功能，而由移动装置在其使用者接口中显示位置选取功能选单300，以供使用者选择以电子地图嵌入、目前位置嵌入或地点清单嵌入的方式选取所需的位置信息。For example, FIG. 3 is a user interface for selecting a location selection method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
