Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a mobile device position determining method and determining apparatus, and a mobile device comprising the determining apparatus. The method comprises: determining that a mobile device is in a first state, wherein in the first state, the mobile device is located at a first position relative to a user; determining that a state of the mobile device is changed from the first state to a second state; acquiring position difference information between a second position of the mobile device relative to the user in the second state and the first position; and determining the second position at least according to the first position and the position difference information. The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure can conveniently and accurately determine a position of a mobile device relative to a user, so as to make previous preparations for adjusting a function state thereof according to an environment where the mobile device is located.

Claims

1. A mobile device position determining method implemented by a system comprising a processor, comprising:

determining that a mobile device is in a first state, wherein in the first state, the mobile device is located at a first position relative to a user;

determining that the mobile device is changed from the first state to a second state;

acquiring position difference information between a second position of the mobile device relative to the user in the second state and the first position;

acquiring motion information and posture information of the user;

acquiring a correspondence corresponding to the user'"'"'s personalized data through learning; and

determining the second position at least according to the first position, the motion information, the posture information, the position difference information, and the correspondence.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining that the mobile device is in the first state comprises:

determining that the mobile device is in the first state according to an instruction corresponding to an action of the user.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first state comprises:

a state of the mobile device being operated by the user.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the second state comprises:

a carry-on placing state of the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein determining that the mobile device is changed to the carry-on placing state comprises:

determining, at least according to that the mobile device is changed from a handheld state to a non-handheld state, that the mobile device is changed to the carry-on placing state.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the determining that the mobile device is changed to the carry-on placing state comprises:

determining, at least according to that the mobile device is changed from a falling state to a stop falling state, that the mobile device is changed to the carry-on placing state.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the second position at least according to the first position, the motion information, the posture information, the position difference information, and the correspondence comprises:

determining the second position according to a correspondence of the first position, at least one position difference information and at least one second position, and the position difference information.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining the second position at least according to the first position, the motion information, the posture information, the position difference information, and the correspondence comprises:

determining the second position according to a correspondence of the first position, at least one motion information and/or at least one posture information, at least one position difference information and at least one second position, and the position difference information.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining at least one function state of the mobile device according to the second position.

10. A mobile device position determining apparatus, comprising:

a processor, coupled to a memory, that executes or facilitates execution of executable modules, the executable modules comprising;

a first state determining module, configured to determine that a mobile device is in a first state, wherein in the first state, the mobile device is located at a first position relative to a user;

a second state determining module, configured to determine that the mobile device is changed from the first state to a second state;

a position difference acquiring module, configured to acquire position difference information between a second position of the mobile device relative to the user in the second state and the first position;

a motion information acquiring module, configured to acquire motion information of the user;

a posture information acquiring module, configured to acquire posture information of the user;

a correspondence acquiring module, configured to acquire a correspondence corresponding to the user'"'"'s personalized data through learning; and

a position determining module, configured to determine the second position at least according to the first position, the motion information, the posture information, the position difference information, and the correspondence.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first state determining module comprises:

a first state determining unit, configured to determine that the mobile device is in the first state according to an instruction corresponding to an action of the user.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first state comprises:

a state of the mobile device being operated by the user.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the second state comprises:

a carry-on placing state of the mobile device.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the second state determining module comprises:

a first determining unit, configured to determine, at least according to that the mobile device is changed from a handheld state to a non-handheld state, that the mobile device is changed to the carry-on placing state.

15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the second state determining module comprises:

a second determining unit, configured to determine, at least according to that a state of the mobile device is changed from a falling state to a stop falling state, that the mobile device is changed to the carry-on placing state.

16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the position determining module comprises:

a first position determining unit, configured to determine the second position according to a correspondence of the first position, at least one position difference information and at least one second position, and the position difference information.

17. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the position determining module is further configured to:

determine the second position according to a correspondence of the first position, at least one motion information and/or at least one posture information, at least one position difference information and at least one second position, and the position difference information.

18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the executable modules comprise:

a function state determining module, configured to determine at least one function state of the mobile device according to the second position.

19. A mobile device, comprising the mobile device position determining apparatus of claim 10.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores executable instructions that, when executed by an apparatus comprising a processor, causes the apparatus to perform a mobile device position determining method, the method comprising:
