Position request processing equipment and method and position information acquiring equipment and method

Abstract

The invention discloses position request processing equipment and method, position information acquiring equipment and method, a mobile terminal and a position information processing system. The position request processing equipment and method and the position information acquiring equipment and method are aimed to overcome the problem that the prior art is incapable of actively acquiring the geographic positions of the other users. The position information acquiring equipment comprises a request sending unit suitable for sending position request information to a requested party in a predetermined form, a reply receiving unit suitable for receiving reply information from the requested party, a reply judging and analyzing unit suitable for judging whether the reply information is position reply information and analyzing the reply information if the reply information is position reply information, and a storage unit suitable for storing position information of the requested party in the analyzed result. The position request processing equipment comprises a request receiving unit, a request judging and analyzing unit, an acquiring unit and a position information sending unit. The position request processing equipment and method and the position information acquiring equipment and method can be used for the communication field.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a location request processing device and method, a location information acquisition device and method, a mobile terminal and a location information processing system. Background technique [0002] Mobile terminals such as smart phones are becoming more and more popular in people's lives, and most areas have reached the level of one mobile phone or even multiple mobile phones. Taking smart phones as an example, in addition to the functions of sending and receiving calls and text messages of traditional mobile phones, they usually have functions such as 2G / 3G / 4G Internet access and GPS. In this context, a large number of applications based on LBS (Location Based Services, location-based services) appear. [0003] However, when using this type of LBS-based application to obtain the geographic location of other users (or other devices of the same user), it usually needs to rely on ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, when using this type of LBS-based application to obtain the geographic location of other users (or other devices of the same user), it usually needs to rely on the network, which requires not only the user himself to be online, but also the other party to be online in real time, and the other party is online in real time less likely

[0004] In addition, when a user wants to obtain the geographical location of the other party, it is often necessary for the other party to publish or share their location information, rather than the user actively obtaining it.

[0005] Therefore, due to reasons such as requiring the other party to be online in real time, requiring the other party to publish or share, etc., the user cannot actively obtain the geographic location of other users (or other devices of the same user)

[0006] In addition, since such applications rely on the network and are uploaded in real time, the network and GPS positioning functions are required to be turned on all the time, which is relatively power-hungry

However, the battery power of mobile terminals such as smartphones is usually relatively limited. If the above functions are turned on for a long time, the standby time of the user's mobile terminal will be greatly reduced, thereby seriously affecting the normal communication of the user.

[0007] In addition, when the user is an elderly person or a child who is not familiar with smartphone operations, it may not be possible to successfully obtain the other party's geographic location
