Location Proxy Server for Encrypted Peripheral Data Retrieval

The patent introduces a location proxy server as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the third-party website. The server receives the user's connecting request, obtains encrypted location information from the terminal, generates a hyperlink containing this information, and redirects the user to the third-party website. This intermediary approach enables detailed peripheral information retrieval without requiring the terminal itself to directly handle complex information processing, thus resolving the contradiction between information completeness and system complexity.

The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the mobile terminal automatically obtains its own location information through built-in location services and encrypts it locally. The user does not need to manually input location data or know their precise location in advance. The terminal autonomously retrieves the current location, encrypts it, and passes it to the location proxy server, which then uses it to generate the appropriate hyperlink. This self-service approach eliminates the need for user knowledge of precise location while maintaining high measurement precision through automated encryption and transmission.

The patent applies preliminary action by encrypting the location information at the source (mobile terminal) before transmission. The terminal obtains the current location information and immediately encrypts it using a predetermined encryption algorithm. The encrypted data is then transmitted to the location proxy server and embedded in the hyperlink. This preliminary encryption ensures that location information security is maintained throughout the transmission process, while the complexity of decryption is handled automatically by the system rather than requiring complex processing during the main information retrieval flow.
