- the present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a location service full-network networking system and implementation method. Background technique
- location services include two concepts: positioning technology and positioning service.
- the positioning technology can be divided into different types according to the different wireless networks, mainly including: CelllD + Sector (cell + sector) based method, EOTD (Enhanced Observed Time Difference: Enhanced Arrival Time Difference), A-GPS (Assisted- Global Positioning System (Assisted Global Positioning System) and other methods; while positioning services use wireless terminals and wireless networks to determine the actual geographic location of mobile users, thereby providing mobile users with the required location-related service information .
- Positioning service refers to the location information provided by the wireless network, combined with various value-added features that a service provider (SP: Service Provider) can provide, so as to present mobile users with a value-added service based on the current location, such as: Vehicle scheduling, trip tracking, asset monitoring, etc.
- SP Service Provider
- the present invention proposes a location service-based middleware (LBS MW) interconnection, which solves the interconnection of the location services of different manufacturers, different network positioning devices, and different positioning technologies.
- LBS MW location service-based middleware
