E.g.
GPS location: “vibration ,Alarm: Date time：”12-10-31 20:08:18
http://maps.\google.com/maps?q=N22.577169,E113.916790.”
LBS location: “vibration ,Alarm: Date time：12-10-31 20:08:18
http://maps.\google.com/maps?q=N22.577169,E113.916754.“
During vibration alarm time, if the device is located, but fail to connect to the platform, the device
will send longitude and latitude information.
E.g.
“Vibration alarm: N23.111748, E114.409215, 11
While if the GPS is neither located nor connect to the platform, the device can not get the position
information. Then it will send SMS “vibration alarm! Attention” to SOS numbers.
Note:
