Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing geographic location sharing technologies provide static location information, which is not updated in real-time, making it less valuable for accurate positioning and reference.
Innovation Solution
A terminal equipped with a processor and storage medium that establishes communication through a social networking application to periodically acquire and send updated geographic location information to a target terminal, enabling real-time sharing of dynamic locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If static geographic location information is shared, then the sharing process is simple, but the positioning accuracy and reference value deteriorate when users move
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static location sharing mechanism into a dynamic one by implementing periodic location updates. The terminal automatically acquires and sends updated geographic location information at preset time intervals, enabling the shared location to dynamically track the user's movement while maintaining simple operation for the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic location information transmission by setting a preset time interval for acquiring and sending updated geographic location data. This periodic update mechanism ensures that location information remains current without requiring continuous manual intervention, balancing simplicity with accuracy.
2Measurement precision
If real-time updated geographic location information is shared, then positioning accuracy improves, but the complexity of the sharing process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the terminal automatically performs location acquisition, update timing, and information transmission without user intervention. The system autonomously manages the periodic update process, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining high positioning accuracy through continuous updates.
3Loss of information
If periodic location updates are implemented, then the reference value of shared location information improves, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent allows dynamic adjustment of the update interval parameter to balance information timeliness with energy consumption. By optimizing the preset time interval based on specific usage scenarios, the system can achieve acceptable location accuracy while minimizing battery drain, adapting the update frequency to match actual needs.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides system and methods for a sharing geographic location. A local terminal may be configured to display a map interface including a graphic indicator. The graphic indicator may correspond to a remote geographic location of a remote terminal. The local terminal may be further configured to receive a selection signal directed at the graphic indicator to track the remote terminal. In response to the signal, the local terminal may repeatedly receive a geographic location information update corresponding to the remote terminal. The geographic location information update may include an updated geographic location of the remote terminal. In addition, the local terminal may update a travel route indicative of a path between the updated geographic location of the remote terminal and a target geographic location. The terminal may display the travel route on the map interface in real time.
