Abstract

The present invention discloses a mobile positioning and tracking system that includes a master device and a slave device. Within a tracking range of the master device, a satellite is used for receiving a signal from the slave device, and then transmitting the signal to the master device to display an initial location of the slave device. Meanwhile, the master device compares the location of the master device with a relative direction, distance, height or angle of the location of the satellite signal received by the master device, such that the master device can search according to the relative location. If the slave device is situated within the tracking range of the master device, Zigbee is used for receiving a signal from the slave device to estimate the location of a target outside the tracking range, and accurately measure the relative location of the target within the tracking range.

Claims

1. A mobile positioning and tracking system, comprising:

at least one master device, including a processor, a signal receiving unit, a code converting unit, a memory, a database, a relative position comparing unit, a relative position computing unit, a position locking unit and information display unit; and

at least one slave device, including a signal transmitting unit.

2. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the information display unit is a flat display device.

3. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 2, wherein the flat display device displays information of a relative distance, a relative direction or/and a relative height of the slave device with respect to the master device.

4. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 2, wherein the flat display device displays information of a relative distance, a relative direction or/and a relative height between the two master devices.

5. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the signal receiving unit of the master device is selectively a GPS signal receiver and a Zigbee signal receiver.

6. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the signal transmitting unit of the slave device is selectively a GPS signal transmitter and a Zigbee signal transmitter.

7. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the code converting unit converts a location signal received by the signal receiving unit into a location data.

8. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 7, wherein the location data is saved in the memory.

9. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the database prestores a logical coordinate data.

10. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 9, wherein the processor reads a logical coordinate data from the database and a location data from the memory for performing a floating point computation.

11. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the relative position comparing unit performs a relative location comparison with a location data obtained by the master device.

12. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 11, wherein the relative position computing unit computes a location compared by the master device to obtain a single location and display the single location on an information display unit.

13. The mobile positioning and tracking system of claim 1, wherein the position locking unit locks one or more slave devices displayed on the information display unit.
