Abstract

A sight spot guiding system and an implementing method thereof are provided. The method includes: a mobile terminal equipped with an RFID chip, after arriving at the sight spot, receiving a radio broadcast signal transmitted by an RFID reader set at the sight spot, and transmitting a radio response signal which carriers the ID of the present RFID chip; the RFID reader reading the radio response signal and then reporting the IDs of the RFID chip and the reader to an administration center, which, after receiving the IDs of the RFID and the reader, sends sight spot description information corresponding to the ID of the reader to the mobile terminal corresponding to the ID of the RFID chip, according to corresponding relationships between IDs of RFID readers and sight spot description information and between IDs of RFID chips and mobile terminals.

Claims

1. A sight spot guiding system, comprising:

a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip, an RFID reader and an administration center, wherein the RFID chip is installed in a mobile terminal, the RFID reader is set at each sight spot of a scenery spot, the RFID chip and the RFID reader are both configured with a unique identity identifier (ID);

the RFID chip is configured to;

after arriving at the sight spot, receive a radio broadcast signal transmitted by the RFID reader set at the sight spot, and transmit a radio response signal which carries the ID of the RFID chip;

the RFID reader is configured to;

after reading the radio response signal transmitted by the RFID chip, report the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the reader itself to the administration center;

the administration center is configured to;

store a corresponding relationship between the ID of the RFID reader and sight spot description information, and a corresponding relationship between the RFID chip and the mobile terminal;

after receiving the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader which are reported, send the sight spot description information corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader to the mobile terminal corresponding to the ID of the RFID chip by a mobile communication network;

wherein the administration center is further configured to;

store and maintain a sight spot information table and a reader table respectively, wherein the sight spot information table stores a corresponding relationship between the ID of each sight spot and description information of the sight spot, and the reader table stores a corresponding relationship between the ID of each RFID reader and an ID of the sight spot at which the RFID reader is located;

after receiving the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader that are reported, obtain the ID of the sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader by querying the reader table, and then obtain the sight spot description information corresponding to the ID of the sight spot by querying the sight spot information table;

wherein the administration center is further configured to;

store and maintain a label table which stores a corresponding relationship between the ID of the RFID chip, a number of the mobile terminal and the ID of the current sight spot; and

store and maintain, for each RFID chip, a visited sight spot table which stores the ID of sight spot(s) already visited by the RFID chip;

when receiving the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader that are reported, obtain the ID of the current sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID chip by querying the label table, and if the obtained ID of the sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader is not identical with the ID of the current sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID chip, then update the ID of the current sight spot in the label table with the ID of the sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader, meanwhile query the visited sight spot table to judge whether there is the updated ID of the sight spot, if not, send the sight spot description information corresponding to the updated ID of the sight spot to the mobile terminal corresponding to the RFID chip by querying the sight spot information table, and then record the updated ID of the sight spot into the visited sight spot table.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein,

the system further comprises an RFID calibrator, which is configured to:

calibrate the RFID chip and configure a unique ID for each RFID chip, and configure a radio frequency calibration parameter.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein,

the RFID reader connects with the administration center by a wired device or a wireless device, and the RFID reader is configured to:

after reading the radio response signal transmitted by the RFID chip, report the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader itself to the administration center by sending a report request to the administration center.

7. The system according to claim 2, wherein,

the RFID reader connects with the administration center by a wired device or a wireless device, and the RFID reader is configured to:

after reading the radio response signal transmitted by the RFID chip, report the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader itself to the administration center by sending a report request to the administration center.

4. A method for implementing sight spot guiding, comprising:

after a mobile terminal equipped with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip arrives at a sight spot, the mobile terminal receiving a radio broadcast signal transmitted by an RFID reader set at the sight spot, and transmitting a radio response signal which carriers an Identity Identifier (ID) of the current RFID chip;

the RFID reader, after reading the radio response signal transmitted by the RFID chip, reporting the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the current reader to an administration center; and

the administration center, after receiving the reported ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the reader, sending sight spot description information corresponding to the ID of the reader to the mobile terminal corresponding to the ID of the RFID chip by a mobile communication network, according to a stored corresponding relationship between the ID of the RFID reader and the sight spot description information and a stored corresponding relationship between the RFID chip and the mobile terminal;

the method further comprising;

the administration center storing and maintaining a sight spot information table and a reader table respectively, wherein the sight spot information table stores a corresponding relationship between the ID of each sight spot and description information of the sight spot, and the reader table stores a corresponding relationship between the ID of each RFID reader and the ID of the sight spot at which the RFID reader is located;

the administration center, when receiving the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader, obtaining the ID of the sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader by querying the reader table, and then obtain the sight spot description information corresponding to the ID of the sight spot by querying the sight spot information table;

the method further comprising;

the administration center storing and maintaining a label table which stores a corresponding relationship between the ID of the RFID chip, a number of the mobile terminal and the ID of the current sight spot; and

storing and maintaining, for each RFID chip, a visited sight spot table, which stores the ID of sight spot(s) already visited by the RFID chip;

when receiving the ID of the RFID chip and the ID of the RFID reader that are reported, the administration center obtaining the ID of the sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader by querying the reader table, and obtaining the ID of the current sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID chip by querying the label table, and if the obtained two IDs of the sight spot are not identical, then updating the ID of the current sight spot in the label table with the ID of the sight spot corresponding to the ID of the RFID reader, and meanwhile querying the visited sight spot table to judge whether there is the updated ID of the sight spot, if not, sending the sight spot description information corresponding to the updated ID of the sight spot to the mobile terminal corresponding to the RFID chip by querying the sight spot information table, and then recording the updated sight spot ID into the visited sight spot table.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein,

the administration center sends the sight spot description information to the mobile terminal corresponding to the RFID chip by way of a short message or a multimedia message.

6. The method according to claim 4, wherein,

in the reader table, the ID of one sight spot corresponds to the ID of one RFID reader or IDs of a plurality of RFID readers.
