Abstract

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications and discloses an information transmission method, apparatus and computer storage medium; wherein, the method comprising: when a second device acquires a first data which will be provided to a second device, determining whether the first device is in a positioning state with the second device; when the first device is in the positioning state with the second device, generating a first merged data by merging the first data with a first positioning signal used for positioning, wherein the first positioning signal is the positioning signal to be transmitted by the first device to the second device; and transmitting the first merged data to the second device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information transmission method that is used in a first device, the method comprising: when first data, which will be provided to a second device, is acquired, determining whether the first device is in a positioning state with the second device; when the first device is in the positioning state with the second device, generating first merged data by merging the first data with a first positioning signal used for positioning, wherein the first positioning signal is configured to initiate a sequence between the first device and the second device to determine a relative position of the first device and the second device, wherein determining the relative position of the first device and the second device comprises: recording a time that the first merged data is transmitted to the second device to create a first time record; recording a time that a second positioning signal is received by the first device from the second device to create a second time record; and transmitting the first time record and the second time record from the first device to the second device via a third positioning signal; and transmitting the first merged data to the second device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the first merged data by merging the first data with the first positioning signal used for positioning comprises: writing the first data to a preset location of the first positioning signal to generate the first merged data, wherein the first merged data at least comprises the first data and first positioning data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein: when the first device is in the positioning state with the second device, the method further comprises determining whether the first device can communicate with the second device using a first positioning module; and generating the first merged data by merging the first data with the first positioning signal used for positioning, comprises: if the first device can communicate with the second device using the first positioning module, the first data is merged with the first positioning signal to generate the first merged data.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: if the first device cannot communicate with the second device using the first positioning module, using another communications module of the first device to transmit the first data to the second device, wherein the another communications module and the first positioning module have different functions.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: generating a control command for controlling the second device, wherein the control command is the first data; determining whether there is a need to acquire a positioning result of the first device and the second device when the second device is implementing the control command; and when it is determined that the positioning result must be acquired, controlling the first device to enter into the positioning state with the second device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: upon receiving the second positioning signal transmitted from the second device, determining whether the second positioning signal comprises second data; and if the second positioning signal comprises the second data, parsing out the second data from the second positioning signal and controlling the second device according to the second data.

7. An information transmission method that is used in a second device, the method comprising: receiving a first positioning signal transmitted by a first device, wherein the first positioning signal is configured to initiate a sequence between the first device and the second device to determine a relative position of the first device and the second device, wherein determining the relative position of the first device and the second device comprises: recording a time that the first positioning signal is received by the second device to create a first time record; sending a second positioning signal to first device; and recording a time when the second positioning signal is sent to the first device to create a second time record; determining whether the first positioning signal comprises first data; if the first positioning signal comprises the first data: parsing out the first data and first positioning data from the first positioning signal; controlling the second device according to the first data; and implementing positioning of the first device according to the first positioning data; and if the first positioning signal does not comprise the first data, parsing out the first positioning data from the first positioning signal; and implementing positioning of the first device according to the first positioning data.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising: when receiving second data which will be provided to the first device, generating second merged data by merging the second data with the second positioning signal used for positioning; and transmitting the second merged data to the first device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein generating the second merged data by merging the second data and the second positioning signal used for positioning comprises: generating the second merged data by writing the second data into a preset location of the second positioning signal, wherein the second merged data at least comprises the second data and a second positioning data.

10. A non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for executing the information transmission method of claim 1 .

11. A non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for executing the information transmission method of claim 7 .

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein: the first data comprises a control command specifying a maximum distance threshold between the first device and the second device, and the method further comprises, upon determining the relative position of the first device and the second device, controlling the second device to move in a direction toward the first device when a distance between the first device and the second device exceeds the maximum distance threshold based upon the relative position of the first device and the second device.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein: the first data comprises a control command specifying an action to perform when the second device is rotated to a specified angle relative to the first device, and the method further comprises, upon determining the relative position of the first device and the second device, controlling the second device to perform the action when the second device is rotated to the specified angle relative to the first device based upon the relative position of the first device and the second device.

14. The method of claim 7 , wherein: receiving the first positioning signal comprises: receiving the first positioning signal at a first antenna of the second device; and receiving the first positioning signal at a second antenna of the second device, and the method further comprises: determining a phase of the first antenna after the first positioning signal is received to generate a first phase measurement determining a phase of the second antenna after the first positioning signal is received to generate a second phase measurement; and determining a phase difference of the first antenna and the second antenna using the first phase measurement and the second phase measurement.

15. An information transmission method that is used in a second device, the method comprising: receiving a first positioning signal transmitted by a first device, wherein the first positioning signal is configured to initiate a sequence between the first device and the se
