In step S330, server judges whether to receive the agreement feedback information that destination mobile terminal returns; If so, then step S340 is performed; If not, then step S370 is performed.

When destination mobile terminal receives ranging request information, and when accepting distance measurement request, return agreement feedback information to server, upload the positional information of self current location simultaneously to server.

If the distance measurement request of described first mobile terminal of destination mobile terminal refusal, destination mobile terminal returns refusal feedback information to server; When server receives the refusal feedback information that destination mobile terminal returns, or, after server sends ranging request information to destination mobile terminal, when meeting or exceeding preset time threshold, all think the agreement feedback information not receiving destination mobile terminal.

In step S340, server receives the positional information of self current location that described destination mobile terminal sends.

In step S350, the positional information of server according to described first mobile terminal current location and the positional information of described destination mobile terminal current location, obtain the geographic distance between described first mobile terminal and described destination mobile terminal.

In step S360, described geographic distance is sent to described first mobile terminal by server, or, described geographic distance is sent to described first mobile terminal and destination mobile terminal.

In step S370, server sends the invalid notification message of distance measurement request to described first mobile terminal.The invalid notification message of distance measurement request can also be returned to the first mobile terminal and destination mobile terminal simultaneously.

S310 ~ S320 in the present embodiment, S340 ~ S360 are identical with the implementation of the corresponding steps in above-described embodiment, repeat no more herein.

The distance measurement method of the present embodiment, at server only when receiving the agreement feedback information that destination mobile terminal returns, calculates the geographic distance between the first mobile terminal and destination mobile terminal; If do not receive the agreement feedback information that destination mobile terminal returns, then do not calculate geographic distance between the two.Namely after destination mobile terminal agrees to range finding, server just can calculate geographic distance between the two, thus improves the privacy of the user of destination mobile terminal.
