In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification, the following will be combined with the drawings in one or more embodiments of this specification. The technical solution is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this specification, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this specification. In this specification, you can locate the current location of the terminal by acquiring the location characterization information of the terminal. The main body of positioning the terminal can be a server, a business platform, etc. The following will only take the server as an example To explain the whole positioning process. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the positioning process provided by this specification, specifically including the following steps: S100: Acquire position characterization information of the terminal. In this specification, the terminal can send the currently stored location characterization information to the server, so that the server locates the terminal through the acquired location characterization information, or it can be when the user calls up the specified When an application (Application, App) is used, the App obtains the location characterization information of the terminal through the default interface, and then sends the obtained location characterization information to the server. There may be many ways to trigger the App to obtain the location characterization information in the terminal. For example, when the App detects that the terminal fails to locate through the default positioning method, the App may obtain the location characterization information from the terminal through the default interface. The preset positioning method mentioned here may refer to conventional positioning methods such as GPS, base station positioning, WiFi positioning and the like. For another example, when it is detected that the user executes the designated service through the App, the location characterization information can be obtained from the terminal through the default interface. Other triggering methods are not illustrated here one by one. In this specification, the location characterization information included in the terminal may refer to the mobile country code (Mobile Country Code, MCC), the current time zone information included in the terminal, the current IP address used by the terminal, etc., which can characterize the user's current location Information. For users who open the international roaming service, as users access mobile communication networks in different countries through the terminal, the MCC in the terminal can change accordingly. For example, when the user is in China, the domestic mobile communication network is connected. At this time, the MCC included in the terminal is 460, and when the user holds the terminal to go abroad, he will access the foreign mobile communication network. The MCC included in the terminal may change accordingly and become the MCC corresponding to the country where the user is currently located. Based on this, the server can determine the current location of the terminal through the current MCC of the terminal. In addition, if the user is in a foreign country and replaces the local Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, the MCC included in the terminal will also be changed to the local MCC, so the server can By acquiring the MCC currently included in the terminal, the current location of the terminal is located. In actual applications, if the user does not have authorization to locate the App, the App will not be able to locate the user's current location. For the terminal system, even if the user does not authorize the app to locate, the system can still locate the user’s current location, and can also update the time zone information in the system according to the located location .

Based on this, in this specification, the App can determine the current time zone information contained in the terminal through the default interface, and then send the current time zone information to the server. Since different time zone information corresponds to different geographic locations, the server can subsequently query the geographic location corresponding to the current time zone information, and then locate the user's current location.

In actual applications, the terminal’s location is different, and the IP address used by the App is also different. Therefore, in this manual, the App can send the currently used IP address as location characterization information to the server through the terminal , So that the server can locate the user’s current location based on the IP address currently used by the App.

Usually, the addresses of offline business objects that perform business with the user can reflect the current location of the user. Based on this, in this specification, the App can send the identification information of the business object saved in the terminal and the user who has performed the business within a preset time period as location characterization information to the server, and the server can use the identification Information, query the address of the business object, and then locate the terminal based on the address of the business object.

For example, the App can send the merchant information of the merchant (that is, the business object) that has executed the transaction with the user in the last three days (that is, within the preset time period) included in the terminal as location characterization information to the server, and the server can use the Merchant information of the merchant, query the merchant’s address, and then based on the merchant’s location Address to locate the user’s current location.

Of course, the App can also send the user's user identification (such as ID card number, mobile phone number, user account information, etc.) as location characterization information to the server. The server can query the usage according to the user identification The business record in the preset time period, and through the business record, determine the business object that has performed the business with the user in the preset time period, and then query the address of the business object to the terminal ( That is, the current location of the user) to locate.

S102: Query location information corresponding to the location representation information.

After the server obtains the location characterization information sent by the terminal, it can query the location information corresponding to the location characterization information and locate the terminal. Among them, for different position representation information, the process of positioning the server to the current location of the terminal is also different. For example, when the location representation information is MCC, the server can determine the country corresponding to the MCC through the pre-stored correspondence between each MCC and each country, and then locate the terminal through the determined country. For another example, when the location characterization information is current time zone information, the server can determine the region corresponding to the current time zone information through the pre-saved correspondence between each time zone information and each region, and then through the determined region, to Terminal positioning.

As for other location representation information, the server can also determine the location information corresponding to the location representation information in a similar manner as described above, and then locate the terminal, which will not be described in detail here.

S104: Position the terminal according to the location information.

After the server determines the location information corresponding to the location representation information, it can use the actual location corresponding to the location information as the current location of the terminal, and then push the service information related to the location to the terminal or App for use To view. In this specification, the server may also send a positioning notification to the terminal every set time to locate the current location of the terminal through the positioning notification, as shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the positioning provided by the server by sending a positioning notification to the terminal. After receiving the positioning notification sent by the server, the terminal may display the positioning notification. If the terminal detects that the user clicks on the positioning notification, it can call up the corresponding App. The App can obtain the location representation information from the terminal through the default interface and send the location representation information to the server to enable the servo The device locates the current position of the user through the position representation information. Then, the server can push service information related to the located location to the App for users to view. In this specification, the server can also locate the terminal through the location characterization information in the terminal and the positioning result obtained through the preset positioning method, as shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of positioning a terminal through position characterization information and a preset positioning method provided in this specification. After the terminal (or App) successfully locates the current location of the terminal through preset positioning methods such as GPS, base station positioning, WiFi positioning, etc., it can send the location information and the location characterization information in the terminal to the server . The server may use the position information located through the default positioning method as the first position information, and use the position information located through the position representation information as the second position information. Since the types of the location representation information are different, the terminal can determine multiple second location information through different types of location representation information. The server may compare each determined second position information with the first position information, and determine the second position information that is the same as the first position information, and then may determine the second position information and/or the first position information according to the determined second position information. A location information to locate the terminal. The server may locate the terminal according to the determined second location information and/or first location information. After the server determines the second location information that is the same as the first location information, it can determine that the location corresponding to the first location information or the second location information is the current location of the terminal, and then directly The location information or the second location information locates the terminal. Since there are multiple preset positioning methods, there may be multiple position information obtained through different preset positioning methods, and correspondingly, the first position information determined by the server may also be multiple. In this case, after determining the second position information, the server may further determine the number of second position information that is the same as the first position information for each first position information, and then based on the determined For each quantity, select the appropriate first location information and/or second location information to locate the terminal. For example, suppose that the server obtains three different location information through the three preset positioning methods of GPS, base station positioning, and WiFi positioning, and regards the three different location information as the three different first positions of A, B, and C. Location information. At the same time, the server determines four second location information through four different location characterization information obtained from the terminal. By comparing each first position information with each second position information, it is found that there is 1 second position information that is the same as the first position information A, and 3 second position information that is the same as the first position information B, none With the second position information that is the same as the first position information C, the server can determine the position corresponding to the first position information B (that is, the number of the same second position information is the largest) as the current position of the terminal.

If the server determines that there is no second position information that is the same as the first position information, it can send a positioning query to the terminal, and the terminal can display the positioning query to the user, so that the user can input itself to the terminal according to the positioning query The current actual location information is sent to the server through the terminal. The server can locate the terminal based on the actual location information sent by the user, and push service information related to the located location to the terminal for the user to view.

At the same time, the terminal can record the location information that is located through the preset positioning method and the actual location information input by the user, and report the record to the server, so that the staff can receive it through the server This record adjusts the preset positioning method to improve the positioning accuracy of the preset positioning method.

In addition, after positioning the terminal according to the first position information and/or the second position information, the server may send the obtained positioning result to the terminal for the user to view. If the user sends that the positioning result is not consistent with the actual situation, the actual position information can be sent to the server through the terminal, so that the server can treat the user according to the actual position information sent by the user. Positioning at the previous location.

From the above method, it can be seen that the terminal can be located through the terminal mobile terminal country code (Mobile Country Code, MCC), current time zone information, user's business information and other location characterization information contained in the terminal. In the case that conventional positioning methods such as GPS, base station positioning, and WiFi positioning are invalid, the current position of the terminal can still be effectively positioned, thereby bringing great convenience to users using the terminal.

The above is the positioning method provided by one or more embodiments of the specification. Based on the same idea, the specification also provides a corresponding positioning device, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

The positioning module 403, if there is no second position information that is the same as the first position information, sends a positioning query to the terminal to obtain the actual sent by the user through the terminal through the positioning query Position information; locate the terminal according to the actual position information.

The pushing module 404 pushes service information related to the current location of the terminal to the terminal according to the located location of the terminal.

The server includes one or more memories and a processor, the memory stores a program, and is configured to perform the following steps by the one or more processors: acquiring location characterization information of the terminal, the location characterization information It includes: at least one of the mobile device country code MCC currently included in the terminal, the current time zone information included in the terminal, and the user's business information included in the terminal; querying the location information corresponding to the location characterization information; The location information locates the terminal.

In one or more embodiments of this specification, the server can query the location information corresponding to the location representation information by acquiring the location representation information of the terminal, and then locate the terminal based on the location information. The terminal can be located through the terminal's current mobile device country code (Mobile Country Code, MCC), current time zone information, user's business information and other location characterization information contained in the terminal. Therefore, even in GPS, base station positioning, When the conventional positioning methods such as WiFi positioning are invalid, the current position of the terminal can still be effectively positioned, which brings great convenience to the user of the terminal. In the 1990s, the improvement of a technology can be clearly distinguished from the improvement of hardware (for example, the improvement of the circuit structure of diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) or the improvement of software (for the process flow Improve). However, with the development of technology, the improvement of many methods and processes can be regarded as a direct improvement of the hardware circuit structure. Designers almost always get the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming the improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Therefore, it cannot be said that the improvement of a method and process cannot be achieved with hardware physical modules. For example, a programmable logic device (Programmable Logic Device, PLD) (such as a field programmable gate array (Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA)) is such an integrated circuit whose logic function is determined by the user programming the device . It is up to the designer to program a digital system to "integrate" a PLD without having to ask a chip manufacturer to design and manufacture a dedicated integrated circuit chip. Moreover, nowadays, instead of manually manufacturing integrated circuit chips, this kind of programming is also mostly implemented with "logic compiler" software, which is similar to the software compiler used in program development and writing. The original code before compilation must also be written in a specific programming language, which is called the hardware description language (Hardware Description Language, HDL), and HDL is not only one, but there are many, such as ABEL (Advanced Boolean Expression Language), AHDL (Altera Hardware Description Language), Confluence, CUPL (Cornell University Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), Lava, Lola, MyHDL, PALASM, RHDL (Ruby Hardware Description Language), etc., Currently the most commonly used are VHDL (Very-High-Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) and Verilog. Those skilled in the art should also understand that it is easy to obtain the hardware circuit that implements the logic method flow by only slightly programming the method flow using the above hardware description languages and programming it into the integrated circuit. The controller can be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller can take, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable program code (such as software or firmware) that can be executed by the (micro)processor Media, logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits (Application Specific Integrated Circuit, ASIC), programmable logic controllers and embedded microcontrollers. Examples of controllers include but are not limited to the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20 and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller can also be implemented as part of the control logic of the memory. Those skilled in the art also know that, in addition to implementing the controller in a pure computer-readable program code manner, the logic steps of the method steps can be completely controlled to make the controller controlled by logic gates, switches, dedicated integrated circuits, and programmable logic To achieve the same function in the form of a controller and embedded microcontroller. Therefore, such a controller can be regarded as a hardware component, and the device for implementing various functions included therein can also be regarded as a structure within the hardware component. Or even, the device for realizing various functions can be regarded as both a software module of the implementation method and a structure in the hardware component. The system, device, module or unit explained in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or entity, or by a product with a certain function.
