Automatic Address Input via Geolocation Database Query
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The efficiency of acquiring address information on terminals, especially on mobile devices with small screens and limited input peripherals, is low due to the need for manual input of postcode, province/city/district, and street address.
Innovation Solution
An address information input method that involves sending a request to a server to acquire a geographical position, determining the corresponding address information from a database, and automatically inputting it into the target page, enhancing efficiency by reducing manual data entry.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual input method is used for address information, then input accuracy can be ensured, but input efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal automatically obtains address information by detecting geographical position and querying the address database without requiring user manual input. The system serves itself by autonomously completing the address filling process, thereby dramatically improving input efficiency while maintaining accuracy through database verification
Solution Approach 2:
The address database is pre-built with comprehensive address information organized by geographical positions. When address input is needed, the terminal queries this pre-prepared database using the detected geographical position, eliminating the need for real-time manual input and significantly reducing time loss
2Ease of operation
If manual input is required for all address fields, then complete address information can be obtained, but user operation becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the address information retrieval function from the user's manual input task and transfers it to the terminal's automatic detection and query system. The terminal extracts geographical position data and automatically queries the address database, removing the burden of manual input from the user while ensuring complete address information is obtained
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal integrates multiple functions into a single automatic address filling process: geographical position detection, database querying, and address information extraction. This multi-functional integration simplifies the user operation to a single action while maintaining the completeness of address information collection

AI summary
Methods and devices are provided for inputting address information in the field of network technologies. The method includes: sending an address acquisition request to a server when an address needs to be input in a target page; receiving address information sent by the server, where the server receives the address acquisition request, acquires a geographical position of a terminal according to the address acquisition request, and determines the address information corresponding to the geographical position according to an address database; and inputting automatically the address information in an address input area of the target page.
