Of course, the power supply interface 9 may also be directly connected to a battery of the vehicle to be monitored, which is not limited by the present application.
In the solution of the present example, the power supply interface 9 has a power supply access, which means that a power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 can supply power to the device through the power supply interface 9. The absence of power access to the power supply interface 9 indicates that the power connected to the power supply interface 9 cannot supply power to the device through the power supply interface 9, or that the power supply interface 9 is not connected to power. Taking the connection of the power supply interface 9 with the vehicle-mounted computer as an example, in this embodiment, after the vehicle-mounted computer is started, the vehicle-mounted computer can supply power to the device, and at this time, the power supply interface 9 has power supply access. After the vehicle-mounted computer is shut down, the vehicle-mounted computer is in a closed state, and at the moment, the power supply interface 9 is not connected with a power supply.

The control module 1 is further configured to determine, by using the power selection module 13, a current power supply, and control, when the current power supply is a power supply connected to the power supply interface 9, the light emitting color of the power supply indicator to be a first preset color (for example, red), and when the current power supply is the battery 12, the light emitting color of the power supply indicator to be a second preset color (for example, yellow), where the first preset color is different from the second preset color. This scheme is through utilizing the different colours of power indicator lamp to show different power supplies, and this helps the user to look over the power supply state of device, improves user's use experience. And the power supply abnormality can be found in time, so that the device can be maintained by a user in time. For example, if the vehicle-mounted computer is turned on, but the light emitting color of the power indicator is a second preset color, the power supply state is abnormal, which may be due to that the power supply connection line between the device and the vehicle-mounted computer is not inserted, in this case, the user can find the abnormality in time and perform maintenance, which helps to ensure the working reliability of the device.
In the above technical solution, the power supply selection module 13 may select a power supply mode according to a power supply access condition at the power supply interface 9 (i.e. power is supplied by a power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 or power is supplied by using the battery 12). In this way, the device can be accurately positioned even when the vehicle to be monitored is not started, and the vehicle to be monitored can be used for supplying power to the device when the vehicle to be monitored is started, so that the duration of the device can be prolonged, and the service life of the battery 12 can be prolonged.

Alternatively, the battery 12 may be a rechargeable battery 12, or may be a non-rechargeable battery 12, i.e., a disposable battery 12. In this example scheme, the control module 1 may acquire the remaining capacity of the battery 12. In this way, when the remaining power is insufficient, the user can be reminded to charge the battery 12, replace or activate an automatic charging mode (such as the embodiment for charging the battery 12 hereinafter), so that the device can be ensured to work stably for a long time, and the reliability and the user experience of the device can be improved.
The battery 12 is illustratively a rechargeable battery 12, and the control module 1 is further configured to determine a current power supply by using the power supply selection module 13, and charge the battery 12 by using the power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 when the current power supply is the power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 and the remaining power is less than or equal to a preset power threshold.

In the above embodiment including the charging chip 11, the control module 1 may control the charging chip 11 to be turned off so that the power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 stops charging the battery 12.
According to the technical scheme, when the current power supply is the power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 and the residual electric quantity of the battery 12 is smaller than or equal to the preset electric quantity threshold value, the power supply connected to the power supply interface 9 is utilized to charge the battery 12, so that the battery 12 can be automatically charged, a user does not need to manually charge the battery 12, the endurance time of the device is improved, the charging operation is simplified, and the use experience of the user is improved.

Such signals may be downloaded from an internet website, provided on a carrier signal, or provided in any other form.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments illustrate rather than limit the invention, and that those skilled in the art will be able to design alternative embodiments without departing from the scope of the appended claims. In the claims, any reference signs placed between parentheses shall not be construed as limiting the claim. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of elements or steps not listed in a claim. The word "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the presence of a plurality of such elements. The invention may be implemented by means of hardware comprising several distinct elements, and by means of a suitably programmed computer. In the unit claims enumerating several means, several of these means may be embodied by one and the same item of hardware. The use of the words first, second, third, etc. do not denote any order. These words may be interpreted as names.
The foregoing description is merely illustrative of specific embodiments of the present invention and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think about variations or substitutions within the scope of the present invention.
