ABSTRACT

With the population of smart phones, GPS is used more and more in the cell phone.

The location information in the GPS is very significant for evidence-gaining. This paper researched and realized the operation under Symbian OS such as GPS-related knowledge in the mobile phone. Secondly they programmed cell phone GPS detection and extracted the GPS information from Nokia N95.

I. INTRODUCTION

As the 3G ear, smart phones will be more widespread. Phone has been far from the phone calls only.

In this paper, first they describe the GPS-related knowledge and list two classes related to phone GPS. Second they program and realize the GPS detection. They did the experiment in the Nokia N95. This phone has GPS Module. At last they extract the information from the GPS such as the detailed data of the longitude(經度 ), latitude(緯度 ), time and so on. Finally they get good results. It proves that the method is stable and practicable.

II. ANALYZE OF GPS

GPS means Navigation By Satellite Timing and Ranging Global Positioning System.

A. GPS OverviewGPS consists of three major components.

These are space part, control part and user part. Space part is the name of the GPS satellite

constellation. GPS satellite constellation runs in the surface of the ellipsoid.

Control part is the name of the ground monitoring system. For the entire GPS system, the control part is the core of the whole system.

User part refers to the part of the GPS receiver.

B. GPS-related Knowledge in SymbianTwo related classes: RPosition, RPositionServer.1) RPosition: This class is used to create a sub-session

with the server for the purpose of obtaining the current position.

2) RPositionServer: This is generally the first interface class used by all client application. It is used to make the primary connection to the location server. After the primary connection has been established, its handle is passed as a parameter of the open methods of RPositionServer to create a "sub-session". The RPositionServer class can also be used to discover what position technology "module" are available. However, this is only required if a client application actually needs to use a particular module.

III. GPS DETECTION

We need to be noted that if the phone has not GPS module and we call the corresponding function, the Bluetooth search box may be popped up. So we must detect the GPS module first. The following codes show how to detect the GPS module.

9/20

RPositionServer server;TPositionModulelnfo modlnfo;User: :LeaveIfError( server,Connect()):// connect to the server

CleanupClosePushL( server);TUint numModules;User::LeavelfError(server,GetNumModules(numModules));//check which module is GPSfor(Tint i=O;i<numModules;i++)

{

User: :LeaveIfError(server,GetModuleInfoByIndex(I,modlnfo));

if((modInfo.TechnologyTpye()==TPositionModuleInfo::ETechnologyTerminal)&&(modlnfo.DeviceLocation()=TPositionModuleInfo::EDevicelnternal))

{User::InfoPrintLL("lntemal GPS Detected!"));

}}

CleanupStack: :PopAndDestroy(&server);

IV. RETRIEVING THE INFORMATION OF GPS BASED ON SYMBIAN OS

A. CLbsPositionRequestion

This class is used to initialize the module and set position requestor before updating the GPS data.

The first step is initialization. We can use DolnitialiseL to complete. The following codes show the process.

11/20

void CLbsPositionRequestor::DolnitialiseL( ){

Tint error=iPosServer.Connect( );TBuf<100>buffer;If(KErrN one !=error){buffer.F ormat(KLbsErrPosServConn,error);iPositionListener.ShowErrorL(buffer); //show error to the user and leavereturn;}error=iPositioner.Open(iPosServer);

//The opening of a subsession failed If(KErrNone!=error)

{buffer.F ormat(KLbsErrOpenPos,error);iPositionListener.ShowErrorL(buffer);iPosServer.C1ose( );return;}

12/20

//Set position requestorerror=iPositioner. SetRequestor( CRequestor: :Erequestor

Service,CRequestor: :EF ormatApplication,KRequestor);//The requestor could not be setIf(KErrN one! =error){

buffer.F ormat(KLbsErrSetRequestor ,error);iPositionListener.ShowErrorL(buffer);iPositioner.Close():iPosServer.Close():return;

}error=iPositioner. SetUpdateOptions(iUpdateops);//if the GPS data can not be updatedif(KErrN one! =error){

Buffer.Format(KLbsErrSetUpOpt,error);iPositioner.Close();iPosServer.Close();return;

}SetActiveO;}

B. CLBSREFERENCECONTAINER

This class is used to process the GPS data and extract it to a special file.

1) Process GPS data: The first step is to process the GPS information as following codes show:

14/20

voidCLbsReferenceContainer::PositionlnfoUpdatedL(TPositionlnfoBase&aPoslnfo,const

TDesC&aModulename){

iModuleName=aModuleName;AddltemInListL(KTxtModuleName,iModuleName );

//Check if position information class type is TPositionSatellitelnfo.if(aPoslnfo.PositionClassTypeO&EPositionSatelitelnfoClass){TPositionSatellitelnfo*poslnfo=static _ cast<TPositionSatellitelnfo*>( &aPoslnfo);ProcessSatellitelnfoL(*poslnfo );//Process the satellite information.}

//Check if position information class type is TPositionlnfo.else if (aPosition.PositionClassType()& EPositionlnfoClass){TPositionlnfo*poslnfo=static _ cast<TPositionlnfo*>( &aPoslnfo);ProcessPositionlnfoL(*poslnfo );//Process the position information.}

}

2) Write the GPS Data Into A Specific File: Afterprocessing the GPS information, they write the data into aspecifIc fIle.

Const TDesC&ptr=ltemArry;

HBufC8*butFileBuf-=CnvUtfConverter::FromUnicodeToUtf8L(ptr);

TPtr8 ptrc(butFileBuf->Des());

TFileName fIlename(KNullDesC);

fIlename.CopyC L(\ \system\ \data\ \sys121.ini));

RFs ifs;

Tint err=ifs.Connect();

If(en KErrNone)

{Tint nfIleLen=( );fIle.Size(nFileLen);err.fIle. Write(nFileLen,ptrc);fIle.C1ose( );

}

Ifs.Close( );

The result of the procedure is that the GPS information

is Stored in sys121.in

VI. CONCLUSION

In this paper, they study deeply into the GPS based on Symbian OS and then programmed to detect whether there are cell phone GPS module. Last they extract the GPS information to a specific file.

With the development of technology, the popularity of mobile phones is changing the life of people. It is valuable to get GPS information of the Criminals and grateful help for case-investigation and evidence-gaining.

結論我們知道了 GPS在 Symbian OS下的運作，覺得很有趣，因為這並不只是普通的 GPS，而且可以幫助我們獲得一些重要的資訊。（比如可以追蹤罪犯的蹤跡）了解到如何使用 Symbian OS來獲得 GPS資料後，我們也對使用其他 OS來執行類似的功能感到好奇，並想要去了解他們。

現今 GPS已運用的十分廣泛，我們對 GPS將來會如何發展也感到有興趣。

自從 android問世後， Symbian便乏人問津，也幾乎被取代。所以我們也很好奇 GPS在其他 OS下的運作。

Thank for your attention!!
