Description

Location information acquisition method and device Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of location query technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for obtaining location information. Background Technology

[0002] When using a communication application, if the chat interface of the application displays the name of a location that the user needs to know, the user can select the name of the location in the chat interface and enter the name of the location in a navigation application on the electronic device to query the location information. The electronic device will then display the location information to the user (such as the address information of the location, the distance between the location and the user's current location, etc.).

[0003] However, in the above method, if the chat interface includes the names of multiple locations, the user needs to enter the names of the locations in the navigation application one by one in order to query the location information of the multiple locations. Therefore, the user's operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency and poor flexibility of electronic devices querying location information. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for obtaining location information, which can solve the problem that electronic devices have low efficiency and poor flexibility in querying location information when using communication applications.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0027] The location information acquisition method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0028] When a user is chatting using a communication application, if the chat log contains the name of a location for which the user needs detailed location information, the user can enter the location name into a navigation application (such as a map application) to allow the electronic device to query and display the location information. However, if multiple location names appear in the chat log, the user needs to perform the above operation multiple times to obtain the location information for each of the multiple locations. Therefore, the user's operation is cumbersome and time-consuming, resulting in low efficiency and poor flexibility for electronic devices to query location information.

[0029] The location information acquisition method provided in this application embodiment allows an electronic device to display at least one location identifier from the chat history after receiving a first input from a user on M messages in a target conversation interface. The electronic device can then receive a second input from the user on N location identifiers among the at least one location identifier, thereby displaying the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers in the target conversation interface. In this embodiment, the user can provide a first input on M messages, enabling the electronic device to determine at least one location identifier from the M messages and display these location identifiers to the user through a first window. The user can then provide a second input on N location identifiers, triggering the electronic device to display the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers. This allows the user to more conveniently and intuitively obtain the location information of locations contained in multiple messages within the conversation interface, thus improving the flexibility and efficiency of the electronic device in querying location information.

[0030] This application provides a method for obtaining location information. Figure 1 shows a flowchart of a location information acquisition method provided by this application. As shown in Figure 1, the location information acquisition method provided by this application may include the following steps 201 to 204.

[0031] Step 201: The electronic device receives the user's first input on the M messages in the target session interface.

[0032] In this embodiment, M is a positive integer. Each of the M messages is a message containing a location identifier in the target session interface. The user can open an application with session functionality on the electronic device, such as a communication application, and trigger the electronic device to display a target session interface, which includes at least one message. The user can make a first input to the M messages in the at least one message to trigger the electronic device to determine the location identifier from the M messages.

[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the target chat interface can be a private chat interface or a group chat interface.

[0034] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input can be the user's selection input of M messages (e.g., click input or long press input) to trigger the electronic device to determine the location identifier from the M messages.

[0035] For example, a mobile phone is used as an electronic device. As shown in Figure 2, the mobile phone displays a target conversation interface (chat group A), which includes five messages (sent by users A to E respectively). The user can make the first input on M of the five messages (e.g., messages sent by user B, user C, and user D) to trigger the mobile phone to obtain the location identifiers in these messages.

[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input can be the input whereby the user moves the control used to locate the location identifier sequentially onto the M messages, thereby triggering the electronic device to determine the location identifier from the M messages. For example, referring to Figure 1 and as shown in Figure 3, before step 201, the location information acquisition method provided in this embodiment of the application further includes steps 301 and 302.

[0037] Step 301: The electronic device receives third input from the user to the target session interface.

[0038] Optionally, in this embodiment, the third input can be a user's swipe input on a specific area displayed on the screen (e.g., the sidebar area) to trigger the electronic device to display controls for location identification. Alternatively, the third input can be a long press input (e.g., a long press input on any message) or a swipe input (e.g., swiping with two fingers simultaneously) in the target session interface to trigger the electronic device to display controls for location identification. The specific input can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose limitations.

[0039] Step 302: The electronic device responds to the third input and displays the first control in the target session interface.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, the first control described above can be used to locate the location identifier in the message.

[0041] It is understood that when the first control is displayed, the first input mentioned above is the input for the user to move the first control to the M messages. That is, the user can move the first control to the M messages in sequence to trigger the electronic device to determine the location identifier from the M messages.

[0042] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the shape of the first control can be a rhombus, an inverted triangle, a positioning mark shape, or the shape of any other geometric shape.

[0043] For example, referring to Figure 2, as shown in Figure 4, a user can slide input (e.g., swipe left) on the sidebar area so that the phone can display a first control (e.g., a control 10 in the shape of a location marker) in the area swiped by the user. The user can then move the first control sequentially to M messages so that the phone can determine the location marker from the M messages.

[0044] Step 202: In response to the first input, the electronic device displays a first window and displays at least one location identifier in the first window.

[0045] In this embodiment of the application, the above-mentioned at least one location identifier is a location identifier contained in M ​​messages.

[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the at least one location identifier includes a location identifier selected by the user from M messages.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, for each of the M messages, the user can select a location identifier in a message to select at least one of the aforementioned location identifiers from the M messages.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the user can first input a message (e.g., double-click to input), so that the electronic device can mark the message in the target session interface in the form of a magnified mark or a grayscale mark, and then the user can select and input the location identifier in the message.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the user's selection input for a location identifier in a message may include two sub-inputs. One sub-input is the user's sliding input of a location identifier in a message to trigger the electronic device to display a first control. The other sub-input is the user's input of moving one or more location identifiers in a message to the first control to trigger the electronic device to determine the one or more location identifiers as the location identifiers selected from the message.

[0050] For example, referring to Figure 2 and as shown in Figure 5, a user can input one of the M messages (e.g., the message sent by user B, "Last time I found it at No. 130 xx Road and xx Building"), so that the mobile phone can mark the message with a magnified marker. The user can then select location identifier a ("No. 130 xx Road") in the message, causing the mobile phone to display the first control 10. The user can move location identifier a to the first control 10, so that the mobile phone identifies location identifier a as the location identifier selected from the message. Then, the user can continue to select location identifier b ("No. 130 xx Road") in the message, moving location identifier b to the first control 10, so that the mobile phone identifies location identifier b as the location identifier selected from the message. Thus, the location identifiers selected by the user from the message include location identifier a and location identifier b.

[0051] It should be noted that for each of the M messages, a location identifier can be selected through the process described in Figure 5, so as to select at least one location identifier from the M messages.

[0052] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the at least one location identifier includes all location identifiers identified by the electronic device from the M messages.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can perform semantic analysis on each message to divide each message into multiple strings, and compare the multiple strings with preset keywords (such as words indicating location such as "road", "street", "building", "mansion") to determine the location identifier contained in each message.

[0054] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the at least one location identifier includes a location identifier selected by the user from a portion of the M messages, and all location identifiers identified by the electronic device from another portion of the M messages.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may display at least one location identifier in a first window in the form of divided areas, each area corresponding to a message, and each area is used to display the location identifier in a message.

[0056] For example, referring to Figure 2, as shown in Figure 6, after a user selects M messages (i.e., messages sent by user B, messages sent by user C, and messages sent by user D), the mobile phone can obtain the location identifiers in these messages and display a first window 11 to display the location identifiers in these messages in a segmented manner in the first window 11.

[0057] Step 203: The electronic device receives a second input from the user for N location identifiers from at least one location identifier.

[0058] In the embodiments of this application, N is a positive integer.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the second input can be the user's selection input or long-press input of N location identifiers to trigger the electronic device to obtain the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers.

[0060] Step 204: The electronic device responds to the second input, displays a second window, and displays the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers in the second window.

[0061] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the location information of the location corresponding to each of the above N location identifiers includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the geographical location information of the location corresponding to each location identifier, the distance between the location corresponding to each location identifier and the user's current location, and the navigation route information from the user's current location to the location corresponding to each location identifier.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may display the location information of the locations corresponding to N location identifiers in a second window in the form of a list, a map, or a chart.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the step 204 above, "displaying the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers in the second window", can be specifically implemented through the following steps 204a to 204c.

[0064] Step 204a: The electronic device displays N location markers on the target map in the second window based on the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location markers.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may mark the locations of N location identifiers in the second window, display the names or icons of the N location identifiers, and mark the user's current location.

[0066] Step 204b: The electronic device receives the user's sixth input for K location identifiers out of N location identifiers.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, K is a positive integer less than or equal to N.

[0068] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the sixth input can be a user's click or swipe input on the K location identifiers to trigger the electronic device to display the location information of the corresponding locations of the K location identifiers.

[0069] Step 204c: In response to the sixth input, the electronic device displays the location information of the K location identifiers in the second window, or displays the navigation information of the K location identifiers in the target application interface.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, the target application interface is the interface of an application with positioning function.

[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the location information of the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers may include at least one of the following: the distance between the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers, the relative direction between the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers, and the geographical location information of the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers.

[0072] For example, referring to Figure 4, as shown in Figure 7, the mobile phone marks the user's current location and the locations corresponding to the three location markers (No. 130 xx Road, xx Shopping Center, and xx Building) on ​​the target map in the second window 12, and displays the straight-line distances between the user's current location and the locations corresponding to the three location markers. For example, the straight-line distance between the user's current location and No. 130 xx Road is 6km, the straight-line distance between the user's current location and xx Shopping Center is 7km, and the straight-line distance between the user's current location and xx Building is 5km. Thus, the user knows from the information displayed in the second window 12 that xx Building is the closest to the user's current location and xx Shopping Center is the farthest from the current location.

[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the navigation information of the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers may include at least one of the following: route information from the user's current location to the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers, and time information from the user's current location to the locations corresponding to the K location identifiers.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the user's second input, the electronic device can display N location markers on the target map in the second window and display the location information of K location markers, so that the user can intuitively obtain the location information between the locations corresponding to the location markers through the image.

[0075] This application provides a method for obtaining location information. After receiving a user's first input of M messages in a target conversation interface, the electronic device can display at least one location identifier from the chat history. Then, the electronic device can receive a second input from the user of N location identifiers from the at least one location identifier, so as to display the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers in the target conversation interface. In this application embodiment, the user can make a first input of M messages, so that the electronic device can determine at least one location identifier from the M messages and display these location identifiers to the user through a first window. Then, the user can make a second input of N location identifiers from these location identifiers to trigger the electronic device to display the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers. This allows the user to obtain the location information of locations contained in multiple messages more conveniently and intuitively in the conversation interface, thus improving the flexibility and efficiency of the electronic device in querying location information.

[0076] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, before “displaying the second window” in step 204 above, the location information acquisition method provided in this embodiment of the application further includes steps 401 to 403.

[0077] Step 401: The electronic device responds to the second input, marks N location identifiers, and displays the target application identifier.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, the target application identifier is used to indicate an application with location functionality.

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, the electronic device marks N location identifiers in any of the following ways: adding a rectangular box, selecting a checkbox, highlighting, or bolding the message. The specific method can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0080] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device may display the target application identifier in a blank area or the area corresponding to the message input box in the target session interface; or, the electronic device may display the target application identifier in the target session interface as a floating window.

[0081] For example, referring to Figure 6, as shown in Figure 8, the user can make a second input on N location identifiers (e.g., No. 130 xx Road, No. xx Building, and No. xx Shopping Center in the message sent by user B, No. xx Building in the message sent by user C, and No. xx Shopping Center in the message sent by user D) displayed in the first window 11, so that the mobile phone can display the target application identifier (e.g., Map A, Map B, and Map C) in the area corresponding to the message input box in the target session interface.

[0082] Step 402: The electronic device receives the user's fourth input.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, the fourth input is an input to move N location identifiers to the location of the target application identifier, so as to trigger the electronic device to query the location information of the location corresponding to the N location identifiers through the application corresponding to the target application identifier.

[0084] Step 403: In response to the fourth input, the electronic device obtains the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers through the application program indicated by the target application identifier.

[0085] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the fourth input, the electronic device can run the application indicated by the target application identifier in the background, and search for N location identifiers through the application indicated by the target application identifier to obtain the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, after the user inputs N location identifiers in the second way, the electronic device can display the target application identifier in the target session interface. The user can then directly move the N location identifiers to the target application identifier, so that the electronic device can quickly obtain the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of querying the location information of the locations in the message.

[0087] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the electronic device includes a first display area and a second display area. The first display area includes a target session interface, and the second display area includes a target application identifier, which is used to indicate an application with location functionality.

[0088] It should be noted that the first display area and the second display area mentioned above can be two display areas of an electronic device with a foldable screen, or two display areas after the screen of the electronic device is split.

[0089] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after the electronic device marks N location identifiers, the user can fold the electronic device with the foldable screen to input, thereby folding the screen of the electronic device into two display areas, namely a first display area and a second display area. Alternatively, after the electronic device marks N location identifiers, the user can perform split-screen input on the screen of the electronic device to divide the screen of the electronic device into two display areas, namely a first display area and a second display area.

[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, the second display area includes a desktop, which includes at least one application identifier, and the at least one application identifier includes a target application identifier. Alternatively, the second display area includes a third window, which includes the target application identifier.

[0091] For example, before “displaying the second window” in step 204 above, the location information acquisition method provided in this application embodiment further includes steps 404 to 406.

[0092] Step 404: The electronic device responds to the second input and marks N location identifiers.

[0093] It should be noted that the explanation of marking N location identifiers on electronic devices can be found in the description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0094] Step 405: The electronic device receives the user's fifth input.

[0095] In this embodiment of the application, the fifth input is the input to move the N location identifiers to the location of the target application identifier in the second display area, so as to trigger the electronic device to query the location information of the location corresponding to the N location identifiers through the application corresponding to the target application identifier.

[0096] Step 406: The electronic device responds to the fifth input and obtains the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers through the application program indicated by the target application identifier.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, after the user inputs N location identifiers in the second way, the electronic device can display the target application identifier in the second display area. This allows the user to directly move the N location identifiers to the target application identifier, enabling the electronic device to quickly obtain the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of querying the location information of the locations in the message.

[0098] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after step 204 above, the location information acquisition method provided in this embodiment of the application further includes steps 501 and 502.

[0099] Step 501: The electronic device receives the user's seventh input to the second window.

[0100] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the seventh input can be a user's movement input or swiping input on the second window to trigger the electronic device to send / share the location information displayed in the second window.

[0101] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the seventh input is the user's input to move the second window to the message input box, or the input to move the second window to a blank area or user avatar in the target session interface; to trigger the electronic device to send / share the location information displayed in the second window.

[0102] Step 502: The electronic device responds to the seventh input by displaying route information corresponding to N location identifiers in the message input box, or by sending and displaying the target link in the target chat interface.

[0103] In this embodiment of the application, the route information corresponding to each of the above N location markers is used to indicate: the route from the location of the electronic device to the location corresponding to one of the N location markers; the above target link is a navigation link for the location information of the location corresponding to the N location markers.

[0104] It should be noted that the description of the route information can be found in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. The above navigation link can be understood as a quick entry point to the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location markers, that is, the user can directly click on the navigation link to make the electronic device display the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location markers.

[0105] For example, referring to Figure 7 and as shown in Figure 9, when the user moves the second window 12 to the message input box, the mobile phone displays the route information between the user's current location and the xx building in the message input box ("The closest place to the xx building from your location is by taking bus 77, or you can go to No. 130 xx Road and take Metro Line 1 to xx station"). Thus, the user can send the information in the message input box to the target session interface, or copy and paste it to send to other users.

[0106] For example, referring to Figure 7, as shown in Figure 10, when the user moves the second window 12 to a blank area of ​​the target session interface, the mobile phone can send and display the target link in the target session interface, so that other users can conveniently view the location information through the displayed link.

[0107] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if the target conversation interface is a group chat interface, and the seventh input is that the user moves the second window to a user avatar in the target conversation interface, the electronic device can send and display the target link in the private chat conversation interface corresponding to that user avatar.

[0108] In this embodiment of the application, the user can make a seventh input to the second window so that the electronic device can share the route information corresponding to N location identifiers or share the target link in the target session interface, thereby making it easier for other users to view the location information corresponding to N location identifiers, thus improving the diversity and flexibility of users viewing location information.

[0109] It should be noted that the location information acquisition method provided in this application can be executed by a location information acquisition device, an electronic device, or a functional module or entity within an electronic device. This application uses an electronic device executing the location information acquisition method as an example to illustrate the location information acquisition device provided in this application.

[0110] Figure 11 shows a possible structural schematic diagram of the location information acquisition device involved in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 11, the location information acquisition device 70 may include: a receiving module 71 and a display module 72.

[0111] Among them, the receiving module 71 is used to receive the user's first input of M messages in the target session interface, where M is a positive integer;

[0112] Display module 72 is configured to display a first window in response to a first input received by receiving module 71, and to display at least one location identifier in the first window, wherein the at least one location identifier is a location identifier contained in M ​​messages;

[0113] The receiving module 71 is also configured to receive a second input from the user for N location identifiers in at least one location identifier, where N is a positive integer;

[0114] The display module 72 is also used to respond to the second input received by the receiving module 71, display a second window, and display the location information of the locations corresponding to the N location identifiers in the second window.
