Abstract

The present invention relates a GPS tracking system, comprising a tracking and positioning device, a server, a positioning display unit, and a database. Since the tracking and positioning device only sends an Internet protocol (IP) data and a verification data once when it is connected to the Internet, and sends a positioning data only when a position of the tracking and positioning device is to be shown on the positioning display unit, the bandwidth can be saved.

Claims

1. A GPS tracking system, comprising:

a tracking and positioning device, capable of sending an Internet protocol data and a verification data; and

a server, capable of receiving and storing the Internet protocol data and the verification data;

wherein the tracking and positioning device only sends the Internet protocol data and the verification data once when the tracking and positioning device is connected to the Internet, the server inquires and reads the Internet protocol data from a database when a positioning display unit requests a positioning data from the server, and the server is connected to the tracking and positioning device and requests the positioning data from the tracking and positioning device and sends the positioning data to the positioning display unit to show a position of the tracking and positioning device.

2. The GPS tracking system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a proxy server so that the server is connected to the tracking and positioning device via the proxy server and requests the positioning data from the tracking and positioning device via the proxy server.

3. The GPS tracking system as recited in claim 1, wherein the server and the database are installed inside a computer.

4. The GPS tracking system as recited in claim 2, wherein the server, the database and the proxy server are installed inside a computer.

5. The GPS tracking system as recited in claim 1, wherein the positioning display unit requests the positioning data from the server via the Internet.

6. The GPS tracking system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a map server capable of providing the server with a requested map.

7. The GPS tracking system as recited in claim 1, wherein the tracking and positioning device sends the Internet protocol data and the verification data to the server via a mobile web.
