Global Positioning System (Global Positioning System, GPS) is a system that uses satellite technology to position and navigate around the world. Generally, GPS includes GPS terminals, transmission networks and control servers. Among them, GPS terminals can receive location-related information sent by satellites and Calculate its own geographic location, and the control server controls the active area of the GPS terminal by receiving the geographic location information of the GPS terminal sent by the GPS terminal. Usually, the control server completes the control of the GPS terminal based on the transmission network, such as using general packet radio service (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS) completes the control of the GPS terminal.

The control server generally sets the control area of the GPS terminal according to the control requirements, and then sends the area information corresponding to the control area to the GPS terminal. The GPS terminal will perform position control according to the received area information. If the GPS terminal leaves the control area corresponding to the control information , an alarm message will be issued. Specifically, the alarm message can be issued in the following manner: after the control server receives the area information corresponding to the area where the GPS terminal is located sent by the GPS terminal, it determines that the area corresponding to the received area information does not belong to the control server. area, the control server sends an alarm message; or, after the GPS terminal determines that the area it is in does not belong to the control area, it sends an alarm message to the control server, and the control server sends an alarm message to the controller according to the received alarm message.

In this step 202, the control server can edit the operation instruction that includes the information of the operation type into a short message, and send the operation instruction to the determined GPS terminal through the SMS gateway server and the SMS central server, or edit the operation instruction as GPRS support The operation instruction in the message format is sent to the determined GPS terminal through the WAP gateway server. For example, considering the stability of data transmission, the control server can send the operating instructions edited as short messages to the determined GPS terminal through the SMS gateway server and the SMS central server. If the sending of the operating instructions fails, the operating instructions can be edited The operating instructions in the format supported by GPRS are further sent to the determined GPS terminal through the WAP gateway server. In addition, the control server can also arbitrarily choose the mode of sending the operating instructions from the set data transmission methods.

For example, the control server selects the mode of sending operation instructions according to the priority level corresponding to the data transmission mode, which will not be listed here.

The above step 201 and step 202 independently constitute the process of controlling the GPS terminal executed by the control server.

Step 203: After receiving the operation instruction sent by the control server, the GPS terminal extracts the information of the operation type carried therein, and performs an operation corresponding to the information of the operation type according to the information of the operation type.

In step 203, after the GPS terminal performs the operation corresponding to the operation type information, it may further feed back operation result information to the control server, for example, operation success, operation failure or other information. Correspondingly, the control server will receive the operation result information sent by the GPS terminal, and can perform subsequent processing according to the operation result information.

Correspondingly, if the synchronization request includes other information related to the GPS terminal sending the synchronization request, the control server may also save the related information in the response request and send it to the WAP gateway server.

Step 505, the WAP gateway server sends the received response request to the GPS terminal.
