Abstract

A method and system for collecting communication signals include detecting one or more signals emitted by one or more base stations surrounding a communication device and acquiring one or more signal intensities of the detected one ore more signals. The method and system further include locating a position of the communication device, acquiring the position of the communication device, and transmitting the acquired one or more signal intensities and the position of the communication device to a signal collection server.

Claims

1. A system for collecting communication signals over a communication network comprising one or more base stations, the system comprising:

a detecting module configured for detecting one or more signals emitted by the one or more base stations surrounding a communication device, and acquiring one or more signal intensities of the detected one or more signals;

a locating module configured for locating a position of the communication device, and acquiring the position of the communication device;

a transmitting module configured for transmitting the acquired one or more signal intensities and the position of the communication device to a signal collection server; and

at least one processor that executes the detecting module, the locating module, and the transmitting module.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the signal collection server is established by a telecommunication service provider for collecting the signal intensities of different positions of the communication device, so as to determine if the signals of different positions are clear.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the locating module locates the position of the communication device by acquiring positions of at least three base stations surrounding the communication device, and confirms the position of the communication device according to the acquired positions of the at least three base stations.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the locating module locates the communication device through a global position system (GPS).

5. The system according to claim 1, wherein the locating module locates the communication device through a GPS and an Assisted GPS (A-GPS).

6. A method for collecting communication signals over a communication network comprising one or more base stations, the method comprising:

detecting one or more signals emitted by the one or more base stations surrounding a communication device;

acquiring one or more signal intensities of the detected one or more signals;

locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device; and

transmitting the acquired one or more signal intensities and the position of the communication device to a signal collection server.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the signal collection server is established by a telecommunication service provider for collecting the signal intensities of different positions of the communication device, so as to determine if the signals of different positions are clear.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device comprises:

acquiring positions of at least three base stations surrounding the communication device; and

confirming the position of the communication device according to the acquired positions of the at least three base stations.

9. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device further comprises:

providing a global position system (GPS) for locating the position of the communication device.

10. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device further comprises:

providing a GPS and an Assisted GPS (A-GPS) for locating the position of the communication device.

11. A storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of a communication device, causing the processor to perform a method for collecting communication signals over a communication network comprising one or more base stations, the method comprising:

detecting one or more signals emitted by the one or more base stations surrounding a communication device;

acquiring one or more signal intensities of the detected one or more signals;

locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device; and

transmitting the acquired one or more signal intensities and the position of the communication device to a signal collection server.

12. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the signal collection server is established by a telecommunication service provider for collecting the signal intensities of different positions of the communication device, so as to determine if the signals of different positions are clear.

13. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the step of locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device comprises:

acquiring positions of at least three base stations surrounding the communication device; and

confirming the position of the communication device according to the acquired positions of the at least three base stations.

14. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the step of locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device further comprises:

providing a global position system (GPS) for locating the position of the communication device.

15. The medium according to claim 11, wherein the step of locating a position of the communication device and acquiring the position of the communication device further comprises:

providing a GPS and an Assisted GPS (A-GPS) for locating the position of the communication device.
