[0090] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0091] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flow chart of steps of a position feedback method embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0092] Step 101: Receive a location acquisition request.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the location acquisition request is a request sent by the application to the operating system or the electronic device to obtain the location. After receiving the location acquisition request, the operating system or the electronic device feeds back the location to the application in response to the request.

[0094] Step 102: In response to the location acquisition request, acquire application location configuration information of the first application.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first application may be an application dedicated to setting a location for other applications, or may be any application, such as an instant messaging application, a review application, a map application, a photo application, etc., and may specifically include any applicable application, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, the application location configuration information is configuration information generated by the first application setting the location for any application. The location information set by the first application for any application is recorded as virtual location information. The virtual location information can be generated by a user, for example, by clicking on a map or by selecting in a drop-down list. The virtual location information can be recorded in the application location configuration information.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present invention, the application location configuration information is preset by the first application. After receiving a location acquisition request from another application, the operating system or the electronic device acquires the application location configuration information in response to the location acquisition request.

[0098] For example, the virtual location information function is implemented based on the Android R version MTK (MediaTek, an embedded real-time operating system) platform. Users can set different virtual location information for any second application through the first application, such as location information represented by longitude and latitude, or descriptive location information (country, city, street, community). The application location configuration information preset by the first application is stored in the data / data / partition of the terminal in the form of an xml (eXtensible Markup Language) file. When the second application requests location information, it obtains the application location configuration information.

[0099] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in a specific implementation method of obtaining application location configuration information of a first application, the application location configuration information saved by the first application is obtained through the modified system interface of the present invention.

[0100] When an application obtains location information through the original system interface, the system interface returns real-time location information. In order to provide virtual location information to the application, the system interface needs to be modified. The modified system interface will not provide real-time location information to the application, but will provide virtual location information to the application. Among them, the modified system interface will first obtain the application location configuration information saved by the first application.

[0101] For example, the Framework layer is customized and modified. A new location information parsing file is added in the Framework location directory: LocationXmlParsing.java, which is used to obtain and parse the configuration file storing the virtual location information of the second application, that is, the application location configuration information. The specific system interface obtains the interface call of the country, city, longitude, latitude and other location information, such as Figure 2The schematic diagram of the interface call shown. When the second application B turns on GPS (Global Positioning System) and network positioning, the LocationListener of the second application B will obtain the location information through the Framework's system interface, for example, the system interface for obtaining longitude and latitude information: Location.GetLatitude() (the interface for obtaining latitude at location), Location.GetLongitude() (the interface for obtaining longitude at location), the system interface for obtaining address information: Address.getLocality() (the interface for obtaining region at address), Address.getCountryName() (the interface for obtaining country at address), Address.getLatitude() (the interface for obtaining latitude at address), Address.getLongtude() (the interface for obtaining longitude at address), the system interface for obtaining geocoding: Geocoder.getFromLocation() (the interface for obtaining geocoding from location), etc. The above system interfaces have been modified. When executing the above-mentioned modified system interface, the Framework calls the getLatitude(), getLongitude(), getCountryName(), getLocality() and other methods of the newly added class LocationXmlParsing to return the virtual location information set by the first application A for the second application B, so that Location.java, Address.java, Geocoder.java obtain the longitude, latitude, country, city and other data information and return it to the second application B.

[0102] Step 103: Determine virtual location information corresponding to the location acquisition request according to the application location configuration information, wherein the virtual location information is pre-set by the first application.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first application sets virtual location information for other applications in advance and saves it in the application location configuration information. Then, according to the application location configuration information, the virtual location information of other applications set by the first application can be determined by parsing.

[0104] For example, when the second application obtains the location information through the Android system interface, the virtual location information set for it by the first application is parsed from the application location configuration information.

[0105] Step 104: Feedback the virtual location information.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, the virtual location information is fed back to the issuer of the location acquisition request. A specific implementation method is: the virtual location information is fed back to the issuer of the location acquisition request through a system interface. The system interface is an interface for feeding back location information to an application, for example, an interface for obtaining latitude and an interface for obtaining longitude in the Location.java file related to longitude and latitude, an interface for obtaining address in the Address.java file related to address, and an interface for obtaining geocode in the Geocoder.java file related to geocode, etc.

[0107] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a location acquisition request is received, application location configuration information of a first application is acquired in response to the location acquisition request, and virtual location information corresponding to the location acquisition request is determined based on the application location configuration information, wherein the virtual location information is pre-set by the first application, and the virtual location information is fed back so that the virtual location information set for the application by the first application can be fed back to the application when the application requests the location, thereby realizing the function of setting virtual location information for the application, so that the user can specify a location for the application at any time, which brings flexibility and operability to location-based applications.

[0108] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 101 includes: receiving the location acquisition request sent by the second application.

[0109] The second application may be any application. For example, an instant messaging application, a review application, a map application, a photo application, etc., and may include any applicable application, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The second application sends a location acquisition request to the operating system or the electronic device.

[0110] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 102 includes: obtaining location information through a location provider, and based on the location information obtained by the location provider being set invalid location information, obtaining the application location configuration information saved by the first application.

[0111] The invalid location information is the set location information returned by the location provider when the real-time location information cannot be obtained, for example, the initial value of longitude and latitude (0, 0) when registering LocationProvider.

[0112] Some applications obtain location information through the LocationProvider location provider. Usually, they need to wait for the system to trigger the onLocationChanged callback interface of LocationListener to update the initialized location information. However, in indoor environments with tall buildings or densely populated streets, the network signal is poor. A-GPS (Assisted GPS, a technology that combines network base station information and GPS information to locate mobile stations) is affected by the environment. The system side is slow to obtain real-time location information, and often fails to receive the onLocationChanged callback, resulting in the location information being displayed as empty.

[0113] For example, Figure 3a The diagram shown shows that the location cannot be obtained in time when the positioning signal is poor. The second application B obtains location information through LocationProvider when taking pictures. The location information is obtained by monitoring the system callback through onLocationChanged of LocationListener. When the second application B obtains the location information, it has not received the system callback due to the influence of the environment, network signal, and A-GPS. Calling Location.java returns the initial value (0, 0) when registering LocationProvider. Location.java performs longitude and latitude detection when parsing location information. When the longitude and latitude (0, 0) are invalid longitude and latitude (that is, invalid location information), it returns null and no location information is displayed.

[0114] The present invention modifies the system interface for obtaining location information so that the virtual location information configured by the first application for the application is returned by default, including when invalid location information is obtained, that is, when the application initializes the location, the virtual location information can be obtained, and there is no need to wait for a callback to update the invalid location information set when the location object is initialized. The above method removes the influence of external factors such as the network and GPS, thereby ensuring that when the application obtains location information in any time period, the virtual location information configured by the first application can be successfully returned, and the virtual location information function can still be realized under poor network and GPS positioning conditions.

[0115] For example, Figure 3b The schematic diagram of the inability to obtain the position in time when the positioning signal is poor is shown. Modify the system interface for obtaining the position information in the Location.java of the Framework. Parse the position configuration for the uid (user ID) of the second application B in Location.java, that is, apply the position configuration information. Return the configured virtual position information.

[0116] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 102 may include: creating a singleton object based on system restart and / or update of the application location configuration information; reading the application location configuration information saved by the first application; and storing the application location configuration information in the singleton object.

[0117] When some applications are performing location positioning, they continuously obtain location information. If the application location configuration information set by the first application for the application is parsed in real time, a large cache will be generated, affecting the operation of the system.

[0118] For example, Figure 4a The schematic diagram of the application frequently obtaining location information is shown. When the second application B that obtains location information in real time, such as maps, performs location positioning, it continuously obtains longitude and latitude information through Location, and obtains location information from time to time through Address and Geocoder. The second application B needs to obtain location information. Create a stream object and read the file of application location configuration information that stores virtual location information. Close the stream object. Call the interface for obtaining location information. The interface for obtaining location information is frequently called and parsed in real time as virtual location information stored by the second application B. Continuous calls in a loop will cause a large cache occupancy and affect system operation.

[0119] To this end, an embodiment of the present invention proposes to adopt a singleton mode to parse virtual location information. When an application obtains location information, it first determines whether the system is restarted and / or whether the application location configuration information is updated. If the system is restarted and / or the application location configuration information is updated, a singleton object is created. Read the application location configuration information saved by the first application; store the application location configuration information in the singleton object. Only when the first application updates the application location configuration information or the device is restarted, will the global application's location information update and parsing be triggered to avoid frequent acquisition of application location configuration information.

[0120] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 103 includes: based on the system not being restarted and / or the application location configuration information not being updated, obtaining a singleton object storing the application location configuration information, and obtaining virtual location information corresponding to the location acquisition request from the singleton object. When the user does not update the virtual location and the device is not restarted, it is ensured that when each application obtains location information, the framework layer only reads the stored virtual location information once, thereby avoiding unnecessary cache accumulation.

[0121] For example, Figure 4bThe schematic diagram of the application frequently obtaining location information is shown. When the second application B needs to obtain the location information, first determine whether it is the system startup or the configuration of the virtual location information is updated. If it is the system startup or the configuration of the virtual location information is updated, create a singleton object, create a stream object, and read the persistent xml file that stores the application location configuration information of the virtual location. Update the singleton object and close the stream object. Return the singleton object that stores the virtual location information, and read the configuration of the location information of the second application B from the singleton object. Return the location information through Location.java, or Address.java, or Geocoder.java. If it is not the system startup or the configuration of the virtual location information is updated, directly return the singleton object that stores the virtual location information, and read the configuration of the location information of the second application B from the singleton object. Return the location information through Location.java, or Address.java, or Geocoder.java.

[0122] In addition, if Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the interface call when the application location configuration information is updated. The first application A sets the virtual location information for the second application B. Call the policy manager to obtain the singleton location change interface PolicyManager.getInstance().locationStrChangeXml(). The location change interface locationStrChangeXml() calls the update file interface LocationXmlParsing.getLocationXmlParsing.updatXml() for obtaining the location configuration file. Add the updateXml() method in LocationXmlParsing.java and call the interface getLocationXmlParsing() for obtaining the application location configuration information. Execute getLatitude(), getLongitude(), getCountryName(), and getLocality() in the LocationXmlParsing file once. Return the location information to the second application B through Location.java, or Address.java, or Geocoder.java.

[0123] Reference Figure 6 , shows a flow chart of steps of a position feedback method embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:

[0124] Step 201: Receive a location acquisition request.

[0125] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation method of this step can refer to the description in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be further described here.

[0126] Step 202: In response to the location acquisition request, acquire application location configuration information of the first application.

[0127] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation method of this step can refer to the description in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be further described here.

[0128] Step 203: According to the unique identification information of the second application carried in the location acquisition request, the location configuration information for the second application is parsed from the application location configuration information.

[0129] In the embodiment of the present invention, the unique identification information of the second application refers to information that can uniquely identify the application, such as the UID (User Identification, user identity), PackageName (name of the software package), and PID (Process Identification, process identity) of the application. The unique identification information can be the UID and PackageName, and can also be added with the PID. The location acquisition request carries the unique identification information.

[0130] The application location configuration information stores the unique identification information of the second application and the corresponding location configuration information. The location configuration information includes, but is not limited to, information indicating whether the virtual location information function of the application is enabled, virtual location information, and the like.

[0131] For example, Figure 7 The schematic diagram of location information acquisition is shown. The second application B calls the system interface to obtain location information. Call the location configuration information acquisition interface LocationXmlParsing.getLocationXmlParsing() in the Location.java, or Address.java, or Geocoder.java file. In LocationXmlParsing, the saved application location configuration information is looped through, and the location configuration information corresponding to the virtual location information is parsed according to the UID, PackageName, and PID of the second application B. According to the location configuration information, determine whether to enable the virtual location information function.

[0132] After step 203, step 204 or step 210 is executed according to whether the virtual location information function of the second application is turned on.

[0133] Step 204: Determine, based on the location configuration information for the second application, whether the virtual location information function of the second application is enabled.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present invention, the location configuration information for the second application stores indication information of whether the second application has enabled the virtual location information function. According to the location configuration information, it can be determined that the virtual location information function of the second application has been enabled.

[0135] After step 204, step 205 or step 206 is executed according to whether the virtual location information is set for the second application.

[0136] Step 205: Determine virtual location information corresponding to the second application based on the location configuration information for the second application.

[0137] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the virtual location information function of the second application is enabled and the first application has pre-set virtual location information for the second application, the virtual location information corresponding to the second application can be parsed from the location configuration information for the second application.

[0138] For example, Figure 7 As shown, when the second application B turns on the virtual location information function and configures the virtual location information, the configured virtual location information is returned to the second application B.

[0139] Step 206: Feedback the virtual location information.

[0140] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation method of this step can refer to the description in the aforementioned embodiment and will not be further described here.

[0141] Step 207: Determine, based on the location configuration information for the second application, that the first application has not set virtual location information corresponding to the second application.

[0142] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the virtual location information function of the second application is turned on, sometimes the second application is not set with virtual location information by the first application. In the location configuration information of the second application, the virtual location information corresponding to the second application cannot be parsed.

[0143] Step 208: Obtain preset virtual location information from the application location configuration information.

[0144] In an embodiment of the present invention, preset virtual location information is stored in the application location configuration information. For example, the first virtual location information in the application location configuration information is used as the preset virtual location information. When the virtual location information of the second application is not set by the first application, the preset virtual location information is used as the virtual location information of the second application.

[0145] Step 209: Feedback the preset virtual location information to the second application.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset virtual location information is fed back to the second application through the system interface. Figure 7 As shown, when the second application B turns on the virtual location information function and does not configure the virtual location information, the first virtual location information in the virtual location information is fed back to the second application B by default.

[0147] Step 210: Determine, based on the location configuration information for the second application, that the virtual location information function of the second application is not enabled.

[0148] In the embodiment of the present invention, according to the location configuration information, it can be determined that the virtual location information function of the second application is not enabled. In this case, the real-time location information is returned, so as to flexibly switch between the real-time location information and the virtual location information of the second application.

[0149] Step 211, obtaining real-time location information.

[0150] In the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time location information is obtained through a system interface, for example, the current real-time location information is obtained through GPS.

[0151] Step 212: Feedback the real-time location information to the second application.

[0152] In the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time location information is fed back to the second application through the system interface. Figure 7 As shown, when the second application B does not turn on the virtual location information function, the real-time location information is fed back to the second application B.

[0153] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by receiving a location acquisition request, in response to the location acquisition request, application location configuration information of a first application is acquired; according to the unique identification information of the second application carried in the location acquisition request, the location configuration information for the second application is parsed from the application location configuration information; according to the location configuration information for the second application, it is determined that the virtual location information function of the second application is enabled; according to the location configuration information for the second application, the virtual location information corresponding to the second application is determined, and the virtual location information is fed back; according to the location configuration information for the second application, it is determined that the first application has not set the virtual location information corresponding to the second application; from the application location configuration information, preset virtual location information is acquired, and the preset virtual location information is fed back to the second application; according to the location configuration information for the second application, it is determined that the virtual location information function of the second application is not enabled; real-time location information is acquired, and the real-time location information is fed back to the second application, so that the virtual location information set by the first application for the second application can be fed back to the second application, thereby realizing the function of setting virtual location information for the application, so that the user can specify a location for the application at any time, bringing flexibility and operability to location-based applications.

[0154] Reference Figure 8 , shows a flowchart of a method for setting a location according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to a first application and may specifically include the following steps:

[0155] Step 301, setting virtual location information corresponding to the application.

[0156] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first application first obtains the installed applications and selects the application for which the virtual location information is to be set. Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the setting of virtual location information shown. In the first application A of the virtual information setting, the interface obtains the applications installed on the current terminal through PackageMangerService (installation package management service), and displays PackageName, Icon and other information through ListView (list view) for selection. It supports whether to configure the virtual location for the application. If the configuration is no, the virtual location information function is not turned on, and the real-time location information is used. If the configuration is yes, the virtual location information function is turned on, and the virtual location information is used.

[0157] In the embodiment of the present invention, corresponding virtual location information is set for the application. Fig. 9As shown, if the configuration is yes, that is, the virtual location information function is turned on, the first application A uses the spinner (drop-down control) to filter the country and city in the virtual location configuration library, obtain a set of virtual location information, and complete the virtual configuration of the location information of any second application B in the interface operation. It supports setting virtual country, city, street, community and other location information for any second application B, supports setting different locations for different second applications B, and supports changing the location information configuration at any time. ,

[0158] Step 302, stores the virtual location information corresponding to the application into the application location configuration information, so as to obtain the application location configuration information in response to the location acquisition request of the application, determine the virtual location information corresponding to the location acquisition request based on the application location configuration information, and provide the virtual location information to the application corresponding to the location acquisition request.

[0159] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first application stores the virtual location information corresponding to the application into the application location configuration information. If the file of the application location configuration information does not exist, a new file is created and stored. If the file of the application location configuration information already exists, the virtual location information corresponding to the application is stored into the file.

[0160] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, application A uses List to store the PackageName, UID, and virtual location information of the second application B. <map>It is configured in the form of an XML file and stored in the data / data / partition of the terminal.

[0161] According to an embodiment of the present invention, by setting virtual location information corresponding to an application, the virtual location information corresponding to the application is stored in the application location configuration information, so as to respond to a location acquisition request of the application, obtain the application location configuration information, determine the virtual location information corresponding to the location acquisition request based on the application location configuration information, and provide the virtual location information to the application corresponding to the location acquisition request, so that the first application sets the virtual location information for the application and can feed back to the application, thereby realizing the function of setting virtual location information for the application, so that the user can specify the location for the application at any time, which brings flexibility and operability to location-based applications.
