Description

Bluetooth trunk positioning system

This patent applies BLE technology to the trunk positioning.

Regarding the positioning of the luggage, the aircraft manufacturer "Airbus" introduced a new smart luggage Bag2Go using RFID (radio frequency identification) technology to indicate the information of the luggage user. However, the sensing distance of RFID is short. Even if a high-sensitivity antenna is used, the sensing distance does not exceed several meters. Therefore, it is necessary to mount the sensing device in the vicinity of the baggage conveyor belt, which is inconvenient when installing the sensor. In contrast, the BLE sensing distance can be more than 10 meters, and it is relatively simple to install the receiver. In addition, the RFID receiver is generally not embedded in the mobile phone, so the mobile phone cannot read the RFID in the luggage, and the location of the luggage cannot be known. This creation uses the BLE Bluetooth transmitter, because most of the current smart phones have the Bluetooth function, so you can directly read the BLE transmitter of the luggage, and know if the location is within a certain position from the user's mobile phone, you can have a lost reminder. The function.

This patent designs a BLE transmitter that intermittently broadcasts BLE signals. The user attaches the BLE transmitter to the trunk. The APP uses the APP to continuously receive the BLE signal. If there is a signal, it means that the trunk is within the communication range of BLE. On the contrary, it means that the trunk may be too far away from the mobile phone. Based on this message, it can be judged whether the trunk is within the safe range.

One of the most common locations for luggage is the airport. This patent also designs multiple BLE signal receivers, which are installed at the airport where the baggage must pass. These BLE receivers are connected to the cloud server through the network, and send the monitored BLE transmitter content to the cloud server for recording and provide user queries. Since the power of the BLE transmitter is limited, the BLE receiver can only receive the BLE transmitter located nearby, and therefore it can be determined that the luggage attached to the BLE transmitter must be near the receiver. Users can locate their own luggage by querying the cloud server.

Figure 1: System Connection Diagram

Referring to the system connection diagram shown in Figure 1, there are many BLE modules on the market, and you can select a BLE module that can be programmed and give different and unique ID (Identification Identification Code) devices to the trunk at the factory. The message containing the ID information is the BLE transmitter 11. The BLE receiver includes 12 BLE modules and network modules. The network module supports the Eithernet (wireless network) of the wired network and the WIFI of the wireless network. It is responsible for adding the content of the BLE transmitter 11 received. The number (different and unique) of the present BLE receiver 12 is forwarded to the server 13 in the cloud. Based on the received content, the cloud server 13 records the historical information of the luggage of each different ID for future reference.

The program of the mobile terminal of the user 10 can be used to monitor the position of the trunk according to the user setting. If it is set to be monitored, the mobile phone is generally smart and can be connected to the Internet and has a BLE function mobile phone, and the mobile phone program will send the user's luggage. The message is recorded. When the message of the BLE transmitter 11 in the trunk is received within the set time (for example, 3 minutes), the program will remind the user to check whether the trunk is lost by vibration or sound. . Another function of the program is to match the cloud The server 13 function allows the user to check where his luggage is currently located at that airport, or which airport has been left to track the location of his luggage. Generally, the mobile phone has the capability of WIFI or mobile Internet access, so the information transmission between the mobile phone and the cloud server 13 is transmitted by the Internet.
