Real-time environmental monitoring: Use the perceived wireless signals to reconstruct the environmental map to further improve positioning accuracy and empower environment-related applications, such as dynamic 3D map-assisted driving, pedestrian traffic statistics, intrusion and a series of real-time monitoring-related application detection and traffic detection. wait.

Self-driving cars/drones: Self-driving car/drone applications have some common functional requirements. For example, self-driving cars/drones should support Detect and Avoid (DAA) to avoid obstacles. At the same time, autonomous vehicles/drone should have the ability to monitor path information, such as choosing routes and obeying traffic rules. Therefore, using the sensed data can help complete obstacle avoidance and monitor path information.

Air pollution monitoring: The quality of the received wireless signal exhibits different attenuation characteristics with changes in air humidity, air particulate matter (PM) concentration, carrier frequency, etc. Therefore, the sensed data can be used to help detect weather or air quality.

S320: Receive the second information sent by the terminal to be sensed. The second information includes the result of the sensing privacy verification. The result of the sensing privacy verification is used to indicate the permission of the sensing requester to perform target data sensing on the terminal to be sensed.

Based on the foregoing content, it can be seen that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal to be sensed can be understood as a terminal that sends sensing data. Among them, the terminal to be sensed can obtain sensing data in various ways. For example, it can detect through its own sensor to obtain sensing data, or it can combine the detected data with a processor to process the sensing data to obtain sensing data. It can also obtain sensing data from other sources. The device receives the sensing data.

In addition, the sensing requester can be understood as a terminal that requests sensing data from the terminal to be sensed. Among them, the sensing requester can be the core network itself or other terminals connected to the core network.

Among them, the target data can be understood as a certain type of sensing data that the sensing requester requests from the terminal to be sensed according to the scene needs.

Among them, the permission of the sensing requester to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed may include the terminal to be sensed agreeing to the sensing requester to sense the target data, that is, the sensing requester can obtain the target data from the terminal to be sensed through the core network, and the terminal to be sensed refuses The sensing requester senses the target data, that is, the sensing requester cannot obtain the target data from the terminal to be sensed through the core network.

In some embodiments, the information used to indicate the permission of the sensing requester to perform target data sensing on the terminal to be sensed includes information indicating that the sensing requester is allowed to perform target data sensing on the terminal to be sensed, and information indicating the rejection of the sensing requestor to perform target data sensing on the terminal to be sensed.

For example, in some cases, the information representing the refusal of the sensing requester to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed, and the information characterizing the reason for refusing the sensing requester to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed, can be filled in different fields of the second information at the same time. in the field.

It should be noted that the perceptual privacy verification result determined by the terminal to be sensed may be determined by the terminal to be sensed itself based on the first information, or may be determined by the terminal to be sensed receiving a triggering operation of the user's input operation control of the perceptual privacy verification result. Generated.

In some embodiments, the first information may include a first identification of the sensing requester (for example, it may be a core network or a sensing requesting terminal connected to the core network), information characterizing the type of target data to be sensed, and Perceived privacy verification instructions.

Using the above method, the first information for determining the result of the perceptual privacy verification can be sent to the terminal to be sensed through the core network, and the second information including the result of the perceptual privacy verification can be received through the core network. Since the result of the sensing privacy verification is used to indicate the sensing requester's permission to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed, the terminal to be sensed can verify the sensing authority of the sensing requester and then decide whether to agree to the sensing requester to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed. Through the process of permission verification, the sensing data transmission process of the terminal to be sensed can be protected and the security of the terminal to be sensed can be improved.

S420: Receive the second information sent by the terminal to be sensed. The second information includes the result of the sensing privacy verification. The result of the sensing privacy verification is used to indicate the permission of the sensing requester to perform target data sensing on the terminal to be sensed.

In some implementations, after receiving the sensed target data sent by the terminal to be sensed, the core network may send the target data to the sensing requester.

In some embodiments, in step S430, the process of receiving the sensed target data sent by the terminal to be sensed may be performed simultaneously with the process of receiving the second information sent by the terminal to be sensed in step S420, that is, the target The data can be carried in the second message. That is to say, after the core network sends the first information to the terminal to be sensed, if the terminal to be sensed determines that it agrees with the sensing requester to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed, the terminal to be sensed can carry the result of the sensing privacy verification and the target data at the same time. In the second information, it is sent to the core network together.

In other embodiments, the process of receiving the sensed target data sent by the terminal to be sensed in step S430 and the process of receiving the second information sent by the terminal to be sensed in step S420 may also be executed independently one after another. In this case, in some embodiments, the terminal to be sensed may actively send the sensed target data to the core network. In other embodiments, the core network may send a message for requesting target data to the terminal to be sensed, so that the terminal to be sensed can respond to the message for requesting target data after receiving the message for requesting target data. , sending the perceived target data to the core network.

Using the above method, the terminal to be sensed can then send the target data to the core network after agreeing to the sensing requester to sense the target data of the terminal to be sensed, thereby protecting the sensing data transmission process of the terminal to be sensed and improving the security of the terminal to be sensed. .
