Specifically, the user equipment in this embodiment may be user equipment based on an operating system such as android, IOS, Windows, or blackberry, and the user equipment in this embodiment is generally an intelligent electronic device such as an intelligent mobile phone or a tablet personal computer that a user carries with him.

An application in the user device (e.g., a system application of the user device) may generally obtain all WIFI information in the vicinity of the user device. The WIFI information in this embodiment generally includes: a WIFI name, an SSID (Service Set Identifier), and a reporting time.

In the case where the method described in this embodiment is implemented by a network device (e.g. a server of an electronic map APP) on the network side. Case 1: the user equipment reports the obtained one or more pieces of WIFI information to the network equipment at regular time, when reporting the WIFI information to the network side each time, the user equipment can screen all the obtained WIFI information, if the user equipment selects the WIFI information containing the preset WIFI name or SSID, the selected WIFI information is reported, and if the WIFI information containing the preset WIFI name or SSID is not selected, the WIFI information is not reported; after receiving the WIFI information reported by the user equipment, the network device does not select the WIFI information any more, and directly executes step S110 according to the WIFI information reported by the user equipment. Case 2: the user equipment reports the acquired one or more WIFI information to the network equipment at regular time; after receiving the WIFI information reported by the user equipment, the network device picks out WIFI information containing a predetermined WIFI name or SSID from the received WIFI information, and executes a subsequent step S110 according to the picked-out WIFI information.

The predetermined WIFI name in this embodiment is generally a WIFI name adopted by the bus, and for example, the predetermined WIFI name may be 16WIFI or the like.

The WIFI information reported by the user equipment in this embodiment may be WIFI information of a bus where the user equipment is located or WIFI information of a bus around the user equipment, for example, the user equipment carried by the user during taking the bus may continuously report the WIFI information of the bus where the user equipment is located or WIFI information of a bus around the user equipment that stops or travels.

And S110, determining bus routes corresponding to the WIFI information acquired in the S100.

In S130, setting level information for the corresponding bus route according to the statistical result, which may be specifically implemented as follows: and setting grade information for the corresponding bus line according to the WIFI information reporting times of each bus line, wherein the grade set for the bus line is higher as the WIFI information reporting times of the bus line are more. If the WIFI information reporting times and the grade range are linearly increased; or the reporting times and the grade process are increased in a stepwise manner, for example, each grade corresponds to a numerical range of the reporting times of the WIFI information, and the numerical range corresponding to the higher grade is larger.
