What is the Relationship Between the Location Services and the Report Location?

1. Access to my location switch in the phone refers to the general switch for apps to obtain the location information, and does not focus on the technical means of obtaining the location information. The technical means of obtaining the location information includes GPS, Beidou, Wi-Fi, and base station LBS.

   If you disable this switch, all apps (including Mateline) cannot obtain location information.

   

2. In addition, the mobile phone operating system provides a separate location service switch for each app. When both general switch and separate switch of Mateline are enabled, the location service of Mateline can be used.
3. The Report location function in the Mateline refers to periodically uploading the user location information collected by Mateline to the cloud server, so that the intelligent scheduling engine and the dispatcher of the system can dispatch tasks more efficiently.

Therefore, the location information of FMEs can be reported to the server only when the preceding three switches are enabled. Whether the switch should be enabled depends on the local project requirements and relevant laws and regulations.

In addition, the relationship between mobile data switch and the GPS/Location switch is as follows.

NOTE:

The general location switch of a mobile phone is on the toolbar. The switch names vary according to mobile phones. For example: GPS or location.

If the location switch is disabled, the mobile phone system and all apps cannot locate the user by GPS, LBS, or Wi-Fi.
