Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal sends the directional information including the position information and the path of the preset sending path to the server, so that the server can determine the target terminal of the information sending according to the position information of the sending terminal and the path of the preset sending path, the information sending directivity is higher, and the accuracy of the information sending is improved. Therefore, the present solution will be described from both sides.

First side, server

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an information transmitting method according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, including the following steps S101-S104:

in step S101, the orientation information sent by the first terminal is received.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first terminal needs to perform some applications based on the geographic location, for example, friend addition, message sending, and the like in a social application, at this time, after the first terminal obtains the information to be sent and the first location information of the location, the first terminal needs to obtain a preset sending first path, then generates the directional information according to the obtained information to be sent, the first location information, and the first path, and sends the produced directional information to the server, so that the server receives the directional information sent by the first terminal. The orientation information includes first position information of the first terminal and a first path preset to be sent.

Of course, the first terminal may determine the first location information based on the location of the location service LBS, or a base station in communication therewith, or an access point in wireless connection therewith. Of course other ways of determining the first location information are possible. Specifically, the first location information may include coordinate information, and the first location information of the first terminal is obtained by using a certain point as a reference origin, that is, the first location information including the coordinate information is obtained.

The process of the first terminal obtaining the first path of the preset transmission path may be various, for example: a user executes an action track in a sending direction on a screen of a first terminal, so that the first terminal acquires action track information; and path calculation can be carried out according to the action track information to obtain a first path of the preset sending path. Or, the user directly inputs the path, so that the first terminal directly obtains the first path of the preset sending path.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the path includes: the angle of the path. Alternatively, the path includes: path angle and path distance. It can be seen that the path carries an angle value, or the path carries an angle value and a distance value. Wherein the distance value may be a length. Here, the first path includes: path angle and path preset length. Of course, it is not limited thereto.

In step S102, a set of second paths is obtained according to the first location information, where the set of second paths includes: and a transmission path between the first terminal and each set second terminal.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the distance between the second terminal and the first terminal is smaller than the set distance, so that after the first position information is obtained, a preset area can be determined according to the set distance. For example, a point corresponding to the coordinate information in the first position information is used as a dot, and a circle center region corresponding to a radius of 10 meters is used as a preset region. Or taking a point corresponding to the coordinate information in the first position information as a central point, and taking a square area with the side length of 20 meters as a preset area.

Wherein, the second location information of each second terminal in the set area can be determined by the location service LBS, or the base station communicating therewith, or the location of the access point connecting with its wireless network, and then the second path of the transmission path between the first terminal and each second terminal is determined according to the first location information and each second location information, thereby forming a set of second paths. It can be seen that the second path is a transmission path between the first terminal and the second terminal, and the set of second paths includes: and a transmission path between the first terminal and each set second terminal.

As can be seen, obtaining the set of second paths includes: determining second position information of each second terminal in the set area through position service; and determining a transmission path between the first terminal and each second terminal according to the first position information and each second position information, and forming a set of second paths.

Since the position information includes coordinate information, an angle between the two terminals and a distance between the two terminals can be obtained by performing point-to-point operation through coordinates, and thus, the second path may include a path angle, or the second path may include a path angle and a path distance.

In step S103, if there is a second path matching the first path in the set of second paths, it is determined that the second terminal corresponding to the second path is the target terminal.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the matching condition between the second path and the first path may be set, for example: and matching according to the angle, or matching according to the angle and the distance, and the like. Therefore, if a second path matching the first path exists in the set of second paths, determining that the second terminal corresponding to the second path is the target terminal includes: acquiring an angle between each second path and the first path in the set of second paths; if the current angle is smaller than the set angle, determining the current second terminal corresponding to the current angle as a target terminal to be selected; and determining a target terminal from the target terminals to be selected.

The set angle can be 0 degrees, 3 degrees, 5 degrees, 10 degrees and the like, and can be set according to application scenes. In this way, as long as the angle between the current second path and the first path is smaller than the set angle, the current second terminal corresponding to the current second path can be determined as the target terminal to be selected.

And if only one target terminal to be selected is determined, determining that the target terminal to be selected is the target terminal. And if two or more target terminals to be selected are determined, determining the target terminals from the target terminals to be selected. Of course, the selection can be made according to different application scenarios, for example: and randomly selecting one, two or all target terminals to be selected as target terminals.

Or, if the target terminal to be selected includes at least two terminals, determining the target terminal to be selected corresponding to the shortest second path as the target terminal. Therefore, the terminal corresponding to the minimum length in the path is directly determined as the target terminal, so that the process of determining the target is more flexible and can be applied to different application scenes.

Or, if the target terminal to be selected comprises at least two terminals, acquiring the length of a second path corresponding to each target terminal to be selected; and if the length of the current second path is matched with the preset length of the first path, determining the current target terminal to be selected corresponding to the current second path as the target terminal. The preset length of the first path is determined according to the sliding force and/or the sliding distance corresponding to the action track on the first terminal. Therefore, the terminal closest to the distance is determined as the target terminal, and the accuracy of information transmission is further improved.

In step S104, the information to be sent carried in the directional information is sent to the determined target terminal.

After the target terminal is determined, the information to be sent carried in the directional information can be sent to the determined target terminal. The directional information contains the information to be sent, so that the target terminal can receive the information to be sent and complete the sending of the information.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the target terminal for information transmission can be determined according to the position information of the transmitting terminal and the path of the preset transmitting path, so that the information transmission is higher in purpose and directivity, and the accuracy of the information transmission is improved. Moreover, the information to be sent can only be sent to the target terminal, but other nearby terminals cannot receive the information, and the privacy of the information is improved.

Because the first terminal may have some environmental obstacles nearby when transmitting information, such as: trees, buildings, currently parked trucks, etc. Due to these environmental obstacles, some of the second paths are unreachable and obstructed paths, requiring rejection. Therefore, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the method may further include: determining an environmental obstruction for blocking the first terminal from transmitting information and an obstruction path between the first terminal and the environmental obstruction according to the operation time information and the first position information in the orientation information; the blocked path is culled from the set of second paths.

The process of determining the obstacle path may also be implemented in various manners, such as the manner described above, based on the location based service LBS, or the manner of the wireless network access point, etc., and may determine the coordinate information of the obstacle, that is, determine the coordinate information of the environmental obstacle, for example, may determine the coordinate information of all obstacles in a circle center area with a circle center at a point corresponding to the coordinate information of the first terminal and a radius of 5 m. Then, an obstacle path between the first terminal and the environmental obstacle is determined based on the coordinate information of the first terminal and the coordinate information of the obstacle.

Thus, blocking paths where information is not reachable may be culled from the set of second paths. The rejection can be performed according to angles, for example: and if the angle between the current second path in the set of second paths and the blocking path is zero, removing the current second path from the set of second paths. Of course, different application scenarios may have different rejection conditions, and the rejection may also be performed according to the distance or other conditions.

And after the unreachable blocking paths are removed, determining the matched current second path from the set of second paths, so as to determine the corresponding target terminal to be selected. Of course, the unreachable blocked path may not be removed, after the target terminal to be selected is determined, it is then determined whether the second path corresponding to the target terminal to be selected is the unreachable blocked path according to the environmental information, and if so, the target terminal to be selected is removed.

Therefore, the blocking path which can not be reached by the information can be eliminated according to the environment blocking of the sending terminal, so that the accuracy of the information to the target terminal is higher.

Second side, sending terminal side, i.e. first terminal side

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an information sending method according to an exemplary embodiment, for a first terminal, as shown in fig. 2, including the following steps S201 to S204:

in step S201, information to be transmitted and first location information of a location are acquired.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first terminal needs to perform some applications based on the geographic location, for example, friend addition, message sending, and the like in the social application, and at this time, the first terminal obtains the information to be sent and the first location information of the location where the first terminal is located.

The first terminal may determine the first location information based on a location service LBS, or a location of a base station in communication therewith, or an access point in wireless connection therewith. Of course other ways of determining the first location information are possible. Specifically, the first location information may include coordinate information, and the first location information of the first terminal is obtained by using a certain point as a reference origin, that is, the first location information including the coordinate information is obtained.

In step S202, a first path of the preset transmission paths is acquired.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first path of a preset sending path needs to be obtained. The process of obtaining the first path of the preset transmission path may also be various, for example: a user executes an action track in a sending direction on a screen of a first terminal, so that the first terminal acquires action track information; and path calculation can be carried out according to the action track information to obtain a first path of the preset sending path. Or, the user directly inputs the path, so that the first terminal directly obtains the first path of the preset sending path. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the path includes: the angle of the path. Alternatively, the path includes: path angle and path distance. The path distance may be a length of a path, and the path calculation is performed according to the motion trajectory information, and obtaining a first path of the preset transmission path includes: determining the preset length of the first path according to the sliding force corresponding to the action track; or/and determining the preset length of the first path according to the sliding distance corresponding to the action track. In this way, it can be seen that the preset length of the first path, i.e. the path distance, can be obtained with relative flexibility.

In step S203, directional information is generated according to the information to be transmitted, the first location information, and the first path.

The directional information can be directly generated according to the information to be sent, the first position information and the first path.

In step S204, sending the orientation information to the server, so that the server obtains a set of second paths according to the first location information, where the set of second paths includes: and when a second path matched with the first path exists in the set of second paths, determining the second terminal corresponding to the second path as a target terminal, and sending information to be sent carried by the directional information to the determined target terminal.

The server receives the directional information sent by the first terminal, and then acquires a set of second paths of sending paths between the first terminal and each set second terminal according to the first position information; if a second path matched with the first path exists in the set of second paths, determining a second terminal corresponding to the second path as a target terminal; and sending the information to be sent carried by the directional information to the determined target terminal.

Therefore, the target terminal for information transmission can be determined according to the position information of the first terminal and the path of the preset transmission path, so that the directivity of information transmission is higher, and the accuracy of information transmission is improved.

The process of the server determining the target terminal is consistent with the process of the above embodiment, and will not be described again.

The following operational flows are grouped into specific embodiments to illustrate the methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In a first embodiment, a first terminal sends a request message for adding a friend to a specific terminal through a server, where the request message is a directional message and includes first location information of the first terminal and a first path of a preset path. Wherein the path includes a path angle.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an information sending method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps S301 to S305:

in step S301, the server receives the orientation information sent by the first terminal.

The orientation information includes first position information of the first terminal and a first path of a preset transmission path.

In step S302, the server determines the set second location information of each second terminal through a location service.

For example, a point corresponding to the coordinate information in the first location information is taken as a circular point, a circle center area corresponding to a radius of 10 meters is taken as a preset area, and a terminal in the preset area is a set second terminal, so that the second location information of each set second terminal can be acquired through the location based service LBS.

In step S303, the server determines a set of second paths of the transmission paths between the first terminal and each second terminal according to the first location information and each second location information.

Here, a second path between the first terminal and the second terminal is determined and a set of second paths is formed. Because the position information comprises coordinate information, point-to-point operation is carried out through coordinates, and angle information between the two terminals can be obtained, so that the second path carries an angle.

In step S304, if there is a second path matching the first path in the set of second paths, the server determines that the second terminal corresponding to the second path is the target terminal.

Here, path matching may be performed only according to angles, including: acquiring an angle between each second path and the first path in the set of second paths; if the current angle is smaller than the set angle, determining the current second terminal corresponding to the current angle as a target terminal to be selected; and determining a target terminal from the target terminals to be selected.

And if only one target terminal to be selected is determined, determining that the target terminal to be selected is the target terminal. And if two or more target terminals to be selected are determined, randomly selecting one target terminal, and taking two or all target terminals to be selected as target terminals.

In step S305, the server sends the information to be sent carried in the directional information to the determined target terminal.

Having determined the target terminal, the directional information may be sent to the determined target terminal. The directional information contains the information to be sent, so that the target terminal can receive the information to be sent and complete the sending of the information.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the target terminal for information transmission can be determined according to the position information of the transmitting terminal and the angle of the preset transmitting path, so that the information transmission is higher in purpose and directivity, and the accuracy of the information transmission is improved. And the target terminal is determined only according to the angle, so that the calculation amount is less, the operation is simpler and faster, and the resources are received.

In a second embodiment, the first terminal sends information to the designated terminal through the server, where the information is orientation information, and includes first location information of the first terminal, a first path of a preset path, and operation time information. While the path carries the path angle and the path length.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an information sending method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps S401 to S408:

in step S401, the first terminal obtains information to be transmitted and first location information of a location where the first terminal is located, and obtains a first path of a preset transmission path.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first path of a preset transmission path needs to be acquired. The process of obtaining the first path of the preset transmission path may also be various, for example: a user executes an action track in a sending direction on a screen of a first terminal, so that the first terminal acquires action track information; and path calculation can be carried out according to the action track information to obtain a first path of the preset sending path. Or, the user directly inputs the path, so that the first terminal directly obtains the first path of the preset sending path. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the path includes: path angle and path distance. The path distance can be a preset length, and the preset length of the first path can be determined according to the sliding force corresponding to the action track; or/and determining the preset length of the first path according to the sliding distance corresponding to the action track.

In step S402, directional information is generated according to the information to be transmitted, the first location information, the first path, and the operation time information.

In step S403, the first terminal transmits the generated orientation information to the server.

In step S404, the server acquires a set of second paths of the transmission paths between the first terminal and each set second terminal according to the first location information.

The second path obtained by the server carries a path angle and a path distance, wherein the path distance may be the length of the path.

In step S405, the server determines an environmental obstacle that blocks the first terminal from transmitting information according to the operation time information in the orientation information and the first location information, and determines an obstacle path between the first terminal and the environmental obstacle.

The environment obstacle comprises all obstacles for blocking the first terminal to send information, the coordinate information of the environment obstacle is obtained, and then the obstacle path between the first terminal and the environment obstacle can be determined according to the coordinate information of the first terminal and the coordinate information of the environment obstacle.

In step 406, second obstacle paths that are unreachable by the information are removed from the set of second paths.

Culling may be performed based on the angle value, for example: and if the angle between the current second path in the set of second paths and the blocking path is zero, removing the current second path from the set of second paths. Of course, different application scenarios may have different rejection conditions, and the rejection may also be performed according to the distance or other conditions.

In step S407, if there is a second path matching the first path in the set of second paths, the server determines that the second terminal corresponding to the second path is the target terminal.

Specifically, an angle between each second path and the first path in the set of second paths is obtained; if the current angle is smaller than the set angle, determining the current second terminal corresponding to the current angle as a target terminal to be selected; and determining a target terminal from the target terminals to be selected.

And if only one target terminal to be selected is determined, determining that the target terminal to be selected is the target terminal. And if two or more target terminals to be selected are determined, performing next general selection according to the distance value.

And if the target terminal to be selected comprises at least two terminals, determining the target terminal to be selected corresponding to the shortest second path as the target terminal. Therefore, the terminal corresponding to the minimum length in the path is directly determined as the target terminal, so that the process of determining the target is more flexible and can be applied to different application scenes. Or, if the target terminal to be selected comprises at least two terminals, acquiring the length of a second path corresponding to each target terminal to be selected; and if the length of the current second path is matched with the preset length of the first path, determining the current target terminal to be selected corresponding to the current second path as the target terminal, wherein the preset length of the first path is determined according to the sliding force and/or the sliding distance corresponding to the action track on the first terminal. Therefore, the terminal closest to the distance is determined as the target terminal, and the accuracy of information transmission is further improved.

In step S408, the server sends the information to be sent carried in the directional information to the determined target terminal.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the target terminal for information transmission can be determined according to the position information of the transmitting terminal and the path of the preset transmitting path, so that the information transmission is higher in purpose and directivity, and the accuracy of the information transmission is improved.
