Location-Based Information Sharing via Geographical Range Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process of information sharing is cumbersome when users need to know information about their current location without knowing the name of the position, as they have to spend time determining the location before receiving relevant information.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that use a server to receive a request for information sharing, determine the current location of a terminal device, match it with pre-set geographical sharing ranges, and transmit corresponding information to the device, allowing information sharing based on location without requiring the user to know the location name.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the user inputs the name of the current position to request information sharing, then the terminal device can obtain relevant information from the server, but the process becomes cumbersome when the user does not know the location name
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically obtains the user's current location information through GPS or other positioning services without requiring manual input. The terminal device self-services by acquiring location data and using it to request information sharing, eliminating the need for users to know or input location names.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that receives the user's current location, automatically queries or determines the location name, and then retrieves relevant information. This intermediary process bridges the gap between the user's unknown location name and the required information retrieval.
2Measurement precision
If the user manually determines the current position name before requesting information, then accurate location information can be provided to the server, but this additional step increases the time and complexity of the information sharing process
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically acquiring and processing location information before the user even initiates the information sharing request. The terminal device obtains current location data in advance, and the server pre-processes this information to identify the location, so when the user requests information, the process is already streamlined.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of users determining and inputting location names is replaced with an automated electronic system. GPS positioning, wireless network location identification, or other electronic positioning technologies automatically determine the location, substituting the manual mechanical approach with an efficient electronic system.

AI summary
An information sharing method, device and storage medium are provided. The method comprises: receiving from a first terminal device, a first message requesting information-for-sharing; determining a current location of the first terminal device based on a location from which the first message is transmitted, and recording the current location as a first geographical location; determining that a geographical sharing range matched with the first geographical location exists in pre-set geographical sharing ranges; determining information-for-sharing corresponding to the geographical sharing range matched with the first geographical location as target information-for-sharing, based on a correspondence between the geographical sharing range and information-for-sharing uploaded in the geographical sharing range; and transmitting the target information-for-sharing to the first terminal device.
