The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention. In the embodiment of the present invention, the instant messaging client can be installed and run in the terminal device, and the terminal device can include, but is not limited to: a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), an e-reader, a laptop computer. Smart devices such as smart TVs and car terminals.

The location sharing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a location sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process of the location sharing method shown in this embodiment is illustrated by any instant messaging client side that performs location sharing. Referring to FIG. 1, the method may include the following steps S101 to S102.

Step S101: When at least two instant messaging clients perform location sharing, obtain location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients.

The execution body of this embodiment may be any one of the at least two instant messaging clients that perform location sharing. It should be noted that before the location sharing, the instant messaging client performing this step can be used as a location sharing invitee or as a location sharing invitee. For example, suppose that two instant messaging clients are instant messaging client A and instant messaging client B, and instant messaging client A can send an instant messaging client to the server in an instant messaging session with instant messaging client B. The location of B shares the invitation message so that the server forwards the location sharing invitation message to the instant messaging client B. When the instant messaging client A receives the location sharing confirmation message returned by the instant messaging client B forwarded by the server, the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client B can share the location. At this time, the instant messaging client A or the instant messaging client B that performs location sharing can be used as the execution body of this step. Another example: Assume that three instant messaging clients are instant messaging client A, instant messaging client B and instant messaging client C. Instant messaging client B can be shared with instant messaging client A and instant messaging client C. Sending a location sharing invitation message to the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client C to the server in the session interface of the instant messaging group, so that the server forwards the message to the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client C Location sharing invitation message. When the instant messaging client B receives the location sharing confirmation message returned by the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client C forwarded by the server, the instant messaging client A, the instant messaging client B and the instant messaging client C Location sharing is possible. At this time, the instant messaging client A, instant messaging client B or instant messaging client C for location sharing can be used as the execution body of this step.

In this step, each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients can be separately activated. The location based service (LBS) locates the application, obtains its own location information, and reports its own location information to the server. In this step, the location information of the at least two instant messaging clients is obtained from the server. Among them, LBS refers to a wireless communication network such as GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) network, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network, or through GPS (Global Positioning System, Global Positioning System) And other positioning technologies, obtain geographic location information, and provide services based on the geographic location information.

Step S102: Display location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients in a map.

In a feasible implementation manner of the step, each of the at least two instant messaging clients may save the map in advance, and perform real-time or timed update on the pre-stored map through the Internet; The local end directly calls the pre-stored map, and displays the location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients in the map. In another feasible implementation manner of this step, this step may call a map in the Internet in real time, that is, obtain a map from the Internet in real time, and display each instant communication in the at least two instant messaging clients in the map. The location information of the client. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of another location sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process of the location sharing method shown in this embodiment is illustrated by any instant messaging client side that performs location sharing. Referring to Fig. 2, the method may include the following steps S201 to S208.

Step S201: When at least two instant messaging clients perform location sharing, obtain location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients.

For the step S201 of the embodiment, reference may be made to the step S101 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , and details are not described herein. Step S202: Obtain identification information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients.

The identifier information may be used to uniquely identify an instant messaging client, and the identifier information may include, but is not limited to, an instant messaging account, a mobile phone number, an email account, a user image of an instant messaging client, and the like.

Step S203, calling the map.

In this step, the pre-stored map can be called from the instant messaging client executing this step; Use the map on the Internet to get maps from the Internet in real time.

Step S204: Display the map in the location sharing interface.

In this step, displaying the map in the location sharing interface can make the display of the map more intuitive. It can be understood that this step is an optional step, that is, after performing step S203 in this embodiment, this step can also be skipped, and step S205 is directly executed.

Step S205: Display, in the map, location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients by using identifier information of each of the at least two instant messaging clients.

Steps S203 to S205 of this embodiment may be the specific thinning step of step S102 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1.

Step S206: Monitor mobile information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients, where the mobile information includes a moving direction and a moving distance.

The instant messaging client of the at least two instant messaging clients can enable the sensing device to sense the mobile information of the mobile device and report the mobile information to the server; or, the instants in the at least two instant messaging clients The communication client obtains its own mobile information and reports it to the server by monitoring real-time or timing changes of its own location information. In this step, the mobile information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients may be obtained from the server for monitoring.

Step S207: Display, in the map, mobile information of each of the at least two instant messaging clients.

In this step, the location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients may be updated in the map according to the mobile information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients. Thereby displaying the mobile information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients in the map.

Step S208: Manage an instant messaging session of the at least two instant messaging clients. The instant messaging session may be: at least one of an audio session, a video session, a text transmission, and a picture transmission. Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, the at least two instant messaging clients may perform an audio session during the location sharing process. When the instant messaging session is an audio session, this step may manage the audio session of the at least two instant messaging clients, and the specific management may include the following four aspects:

(1) Sending an audio session request to the server when detecting that the user initiates an audio session If the audio session permission message returned by the server is received, the user is allowed to perform an audio session, and the acquired session audio information is transmitted to the server. The audio session permission information is used to prompt that the current session resource is in an idle state, and an audio session can be performed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the instant messaging client can provide an audio session function (also referred to as an intercom function) during the location sharing process, and when the user wants to use the audio session function, the audio session operation can be initiated. Specifically, the instant messaging client can provide an audio session button in the location sharing interface. When the user presses the audio session button, an audio session operation is initiated, and the instant messaging client can send an audio session request message to the server according to the audio session operation. The audio session request message may be used to indicate that the instant messaging client that sends the audio session request message is about to perform an audio session function, and the session audio information is about to be transmitted, so that the server prepares the transmission of the session audio information, for example: checking the session resource. , allocate cache space, establish transport connections, and more. After the server returns the audio session permission message, the instant messaging client performing the audio session can record and upload the user's session audio information in real time, for example: Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), GPRS (General Packet) Radio Service, General Packet Radio Service Technology) or 3g (3rd-Generation, 3rd Generation Mobile Communication Technology) networks transmit the session audio information to the server.

(2) When detecting that the user stops the audio session, sending an audio session stop message to the server, so that the server forwards the session audio information to other instant messaging clients for playing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user completes the audio session, the user may initiate a stop audio session operation. Specifically, when the user releases the audio session button on the instant messaging client, that is, stops pressing the audio session button, the audio session operation is stopped, and the instant messaging client that performs the audio session sends the message to the server according to the stop audio session operation. Indicates that the instant messaging client performing the audio session ends the audio session stop message of the audio session and stops transmitting the session audio information.

(3) when detecting that the user initiates an audio session, sending an audio session request message to the server; if receiving an audio session inhibition message returned by the server, prohibiting the user from performing an audio session, and outputting an audio session prohibition Prompt message. The audio session prohibition message is used to prompt that the current session resource is occupied, and the audio session cannot be performed.

(4) When any one of the at least two instant messaging clients performs an audio session, the audio session prompt information is output in the location sharing interface.

Through the above description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, at least two When the instant messaging client performs location sharing, acquiring location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients, and displaying, on the map, each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients The location information can realize location sharing between two or more instant messaging clients, and can realize location synchronization display for each instant messaging client that performs location sharing, thereby improving the intelligence of location sharing. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of still another method for location sharing according to an embodiment of the present invention. The process of the location sharing method shown in this embodiment is illustrated from a server side. Referring to FIG. 3, the method may include the following steps S301 to S302.

Step S301: When at least two instant messaging clients perform location sharing, obtain location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients.

In this step, when any one of the at least two instant messaging clients sends a location sharing invitation message for one or more other instant messaging clients, to the one or more other instant messaging clients Forwarding the location sharing invitation message, and when receiving the location sharing confirmation message returned by the one or more other instant messaging clients, confirming that the instant messaging client that sends the location sharing invitation message and the one or more Other instant messaging clients share location. For example: Suppose two instant messaging clients are instant messaging client A and instant messaging client B. Instant messaging client A can send instant messaging client B in the instant messaging session with instant messaging client B. The location sharing invitation message; this step may forward the location sharing invitation message to the instant messaging client B, and when receiving the location sharing confirmation message returned by the instant messaging client B, forward the location sharing confirmation to the instant messaging client A. Message, and confirm that instant messaging client A and instant messaging client B can share the location. Another example: 4 叚 three instant messaging clients are instant messaging client A, instant messaging client B and instant messaging client C, instant messaging client B can be in the instant messaging client A and instant messaging client The location sharing invitation message for the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client C is sent in the session interface of the C instant messaging group. This step can forward the location to the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client C. Sharing the invitation message, when receiving the location sharing confirmation message returned by the instant messaging client A and the instant messaging client C, forwarding the location sharing confirmation message to the instant messaging client B, and determining the instant messaging client A, instant Communication client B and instant messaging client C can share location.

In this step, each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients can be separately activated. The LBS positioning application obtains its own location information and reports its own location information to the server. This step can receive the location information reported by each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients.

Step S302, sharing location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients to each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients, so that the at least two instant messaging clients Each instant messaging client in the terminal displays location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients in a map. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of still another location sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the method may include the following steps S401 to S403.

Step S401: When at least two instant messaging clients perform location sharing, obtain location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients.

Step S402, sharing location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients to each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients, so that the at least two instant messaging clients Each instant messaging client in the terminal displays location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients in a map.

The instant messaging session may be: at least one of an audio session, a video session, a text transmission, and a picture transmission. Preferably, the at least two instant messaging clients can perform an audio session during the location sharing process. When the instant messaging session is an audio session, this step may manage the audio session of the at least two instant messaging clients, and the specific management may include the following two aspects: (1) When the at least two are received Determining, in the at least two instant messaging clients, any other than the instant messaging client that sends the audio session request message, when the audio session request message is sent by any one of the instant messaging clients Whether the instant messaging client is in an audio session. Determining whether any other instant messaging client other than the instant messaging client that sends the audio session request message in the at least two instant messaging clients is performing an audio session, that is, checking whether the session resource is currently being Occupied.

If the judgment result is no, return to the instant messaging client that sends the audio session request message The audio session allows a message to allow an instant messaging client transmitting the audio session request message to conduct an audio session and receive session audio information transmitted by the instant messaging client conducting the audio session. The audio session permission message is used to prompt the current session resource to be in an idle state, and an audio session can be performed.

If the result of the determination is yes, an audio session prohibition message is returned to the instant messaging client that sent the audio session request message to prohibit the instant messaging client that sent the audio session request message from making an audio session. The audio session prohibition message is used to prompt that the current session resource is occupied, and the audio session cannot be performed.

(2) when receiving the audio session stop message sent by the instant messaging client performing the audio session, forwarding the session audio information to the at least two instant messaging clients except the audio session Other instant messaging clients other than the communication client play.

According to the foregoing description of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, when at least two instant messaging clients perform location sharing, each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients is obtained. Position information of the terminal, and displaying location information of each instant messaging client in the at least two instant messaging clients in the map, thereby enabling location sharing between two or more instant messaging clients, and being able to perform The location sharing of each instant messaging client realizes the position synchronization display, which improves the intelligence of location sharing.
