In practical applications, with the development of mobile internet technology, it is a trend to provide various services based on location. For example: by locating the position information of the mobile terminal device, information of libraries, cinemas, gas stations and the like near the mobile terminal device is determined so as to provide services related to the information for using the mobile terminal device. For another example: by locating the position information of the mobile terminal equipment, other mobile terminal equipment appearing near the mobile terminal equipment is determined, so that a new social relationship is established between users using different mobile terminal equipment. And so on. If the located position information is wrong or has a large deviation, the user experience of the provided service for the user is reduced.

In order to solve the problems described in the present specification and achieve the objectives of the present specification, an embodiment of the present specification provides a position location method, device, medium, and apparatus, where a position acquisition request sent by a first client device is received, where the position acquisition request includes a group identifier of a user group and a user identifier of a first user, and the user group includes the first user; determining the position of a shop for creating the user group according to the group identification of the user group; determining consumption data generated by the first user in the shop within a set time period according to the user identification of the first user; acquiring the current position of a first user; calculating the probability that the first user is located at the current position of the shop according to the consumption time contained in the consumption data and the current position of the first user; if the probability is larger than the set value, determining that the first user is in a shop; and if the probability is not greater than the set value, positioning the position of the first user according to the current position of the first user. The specific position of the user is determined by the LBS positioning position, but the position of the user is positioned by multi-dimensional data such as consumption data, shop specific position and the like, so that the positioning accuracy of the position of the user can be effectively improved.

In the present embodiment, the term "first" in the term "first user" does not refer to any specific user, but refers to any user in general, and "first" does not mean the first user.

In the embodiments of the present specification, the "first" and the "second" in "the first client device" and "the" second client device "do not refer to two different client devices, but are installed on different mobile devices for a piece of application software, and because the user identities are different, the application software sets different usage rights for different user identities, and the user uses the corresponding functions of the application software by selecting the user identities after installing the application software. Here, "first" and "second" are used to distinguish different user identities, and thus the functions provided by the client device.

The technical solutions in the present specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present specification and the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present specification without any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present specification.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present description are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a position location method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be as follows. The execution subject of the embodiments of the present specification is a server apparatus.

Step 101: receiving a location acquisition request sent by a first client device, wherein the location acquisition request comprises a group identifier of a user group and a user identifier of a first user, and the user group comprises the first user.

In an embodiment provided in this specification, a client device capable of performing data interaction with the server device described in this specification is provided, and a merchant user of an operator shop may send a user group creation request to the server device through the client device, where the user group creation request includes a shop identifier of a shop that creates the user group.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of this specification, a client device used by a merchant user at an operator shop may be referred to as a second client device, and a client device used by a consumer user may be referred to as a first client device, where the first client device is different from the second client device in that: different user identities differ in the functions that can be used.

Thus, the server device creates a user group based on the shop identifier and generates a group identifier of the user group for the user group when receiving the user group creation request.

The server device sends the generated group identification of the user group to the second client device.

And the server equipment locally stores the mapping relation between the group identification of the user group and the shop identification of the shop.

It should be noted that the server device may determine the group identifier of the user group based on the store identifier, or may randomly allocate a group identifier to the user group, where a generation manner of the group identifier of the user group is not specifically limited.

The second client device receives the group identification of the user group sent by the server device. The merchant user may generate a two-dimensional code based on the group identification and provide the two-dimensional code to the consumer user entering the store in which the merchant user is located.

After entering a store where a merchant user is located, a consumer user may scan a two-dimensional code provided by the merchant user by using a first client device installed in a held mobile device and described in this embodiment, and send a group entry request to a server device, where the group entry request includes a group identifier of a scanned user group and a user identifier of the consumer user (which may be referred to as a user identifier of a second user or a user identifier of a first user). Different consumer users send group-entering requests through the used client devices, and the user identifications of the consumer users carried in the group-entering requests are different.

The server device responds to the group entering request after receiving the group entering request sent by the first client device, and establishes a mapping relation between the user identification of the consumer user and the group identification of the user group, so that the consumer user becomes a group member in the user group.

And the first client device receives the response message sent by the server device and displays the user identification of the consumer user in the display page of the user group.

The consumer user may generate a consumption behavior in the store, and consumption data corresponding to the consumption behavior may be sent to the server device via the first client device used.

In another embodiment provided by the present specification, a server device detects whether a first client device used by a consumer user generates consumption data in a store that creates the user population.

The method comprises the steps that when a server device detects that a consumer user generates consumption data, a group social permission opening message of a user group is sent to a first client device, wherein the group social permission comprises at least one or more of the steps of establishing an instant communication channel with other users in the user group and accessing the consumption data of the other users in the user group.

And the first client equipment receives the group social permission opening message of the user group sent by the server equipment and displays the group social permission in the display page of the user group.

Based on the displayed group social rights, the consumer user sends a location acquisition request to the server device through the first client device, wherein the location acquisition request includes a group identifier of the user group and a user identifier of the first user, and the purpose of the location acquisition request is to determine the location of the first user.

In another embodiment provided in this specification, from the viewpoint of protecting data security of other users in a user group, a server device sends group member data of the user group to the client device when detecting that the first user generates consumption data, wherein the group member data includes at least one of group member identification and group member status;

and under the condition that the first user is detected not to generate consumption data, sending user data of the user group to the client device, wherein the user data comprises the number of group members.

Here, "group member data" is different from "user data" in that: the amount of information contained in the "group member data" is larger than the amount of information contained in the "user data", or the information contained in the "group member data" is relatively specific, and the information contained in the "user data" is relatively general.

Step 103: and determining the position of a shop for creating the user group according to the group identification of the user group.

In an embodiment of the present specification, a server device determines, according to a mapping relationship between a group identifier of a pre-stored user group and a store identifier of a store that creates the user group, a store identifier corresponding to the group identifier of the user group; and then searching the position of the shop corresponding to the shop identification according to the shop identification.

In this embodiment of the present specification, the location of the searched shop may be obtained from other server devices, or may be determined based on registration information of the shop; the method of how to find the location of the shop is not particularly limited herein.

Step 105: and determining consumption data generated in the shop by the first user within a set time period according to the user identification of the first user.

In an embodiment of the present specification, a server device searches consumption data generated by a first user within a set time period according to a user identifier of the first user;

and screening out the consumption data generated in the shops corresponding to the group identification of the user group from the searched consumption data.

It should be noted that the set time period described in the embodiment of the present specification may be a time period within which a certain condition (for example, within two days, within one day, 10 hours, and the like) is satisfied from the time point corresponding to the search behavior, or may be a time period within one day from the time point corresponding to the search behavior, and the set time period may be set by itself according to actual needs, where the set time period is not specifically limited.

Step 107: locating a location of the first user relative to a location of the store based on the consumption data.

In an embodiment of the present specification, a server acquires a current location of the first user; calculating the probability that the first user is located at the position of the shop currently according to the consumption time contained in the consumption data and the current position of the first user;

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the current position of the first user may be obtained by using a position location method in the LBS, or may be obtained by using other methods, which is not specifically limited herein.

In an embodiment provided by the present specification, when it is determined that the consumption data of the first user meets a set condition, the current location of the first user may also be located according to instant messaging data generated with the first user.

For example: the current position of the first user is inquired through an instant communication channel established between the first user and the client used by the first user, so that the current position of the first user can be accurately positioned based on the content of instant communication.

Preferably, in the embodiments provided in the present specification, the consumption data may further include a consumption time and a set condition for comparison; and determining the position of the first user according to the comparison result.

For example: the consumption data is generated at 10 am, the current time is 10 o' clock 05 minutes, the set condition is that the consumption time is 10 minutes from the current time, and the first user is possibly in the shop or 5 minutes away from the shop walk by comparing the consumption data generated time with the current time for 5 minutes; and so on. This also enables very accurate location of the first user.

The following describes a scenario of the technical solution provided in this specification by taking an example of the user a entering a business of a merchant user.

An operator operating a shop located at a first location may download an application (also referred to as an application client) using the method described in this embodiment, and generate a two-dimensional code of a user group through the application, so that a user entering the shop may apply for joining the user group by scanning the two-dimensional code. After entering the user group, not only new social relationships may be established with other users in the user group, but also consumption data of other users in the user group may be obtained, so as to determine the location of the desired user based on the obtained consumption data.

Specifically, in the case where a certain user (for example, user a) enters a shop located at a first location or in the case where the shop purchases goods to be paid for, the operator operating the shop may recommend the two-dimensional code of the user group to the user a. At this time, the user a may scan the two-dimensional code through a "scanning" function on the mobile terminal device, and by parsing the two-dimensional code and sending an application joining message to the background server device, the background server device pushes a group joining invitation page including a group identifier of the user group to the mobile terminal device used by the user a according to the application joining message, and loads and displays the group joining invitation page on the mobile terminal device used by the user a. Based on the group invitation page, the user A sends a confirmation joining message to the background server device, so that the user A determines to join the user group.

When the user is determined to join the user group, the user selects one user (for example, a first user) in the user group through the used mobile terminal device, and sends a consumption data query request containing the user identification of the first user to the background server device; and receiving a query result sent by the background server equipment, and determining consumption data of a first user in the user group according to the query result.

And the background server equipment determines that the user A joins the user group and becomes a group member of the user group. And the background server equipment pushes the user data page to the mobile terminal equipment used by the user A and loads and displays the user data page on the mobile terminal equipment used by the user A. The user data page displays user data of the user group added by the user a, for example: the number of group members included in the user group, the number of male group members, the number of female group members, and the like.

The user a is still used as an example for explanation here. It should be noted that, the user a may join different user groups in the above manner, each time the user a logs in or runs the application, the backend server of the application may push the user data of the different user groups that the user a joins to the client device used by the user a, and the user a may view the user data of the joined user groups (where the user data may preferably be the user data of the user currently in an online state), so that the user a may select which shop to go according to the situation of the user data in the user groups.

Preferably, in order to ensure information security of group users in the user group, the embodiments provided in this specification further include setting permissions of different users, for example: if the user A joining the user group does not generate consumption data, the user authority of the user A can be allocated to view the user data of the user group, wherein the user data belongs to relatively fuzzy data (such as the number of users, male and female proportions and the like); for another example: if a user a joining a user group generates consumption data, the user authority of the user a may be assigned to have social authority to socialize with other users in the user group, that is, the user a may establish a social channel with other users in the user group.

The application program detects that the user A sends payment data to the payment receiving equipment of the shop by using the used mobile terminal equipment, and the application program can determine that the user A generates consumption data in the shop according to the detected payment data; when determining that the shop generates consumption data, the application program sends a group social permission opening request message to the background server equipment, wherein the group social permission opening request message is used for requesting the background server equipment to open a group social permission for the user A; and receiving a group social permission opening message sent by the background server equipment, and determining to open the group social permission of the user group based on the group social permission opening message.

Or the user a sends payment data to the payment receiving device of the shop by using the mobile terminal device used by the user a, the payment receiving device of the shop sends payment information to the background server device corresponding to the application provided in the embodiment of the present specification, and the background server device can determine that the user a generates consumption data in the shop according to the payment information; and when determining that the shop generates consumption data, receiving a group social permission opening message sent by the background server equipment, and determining to open the group social permission of the user group based on the group social permission opening message.

Based on the consumption data of other users in the user group, which is included in the group social permission, the user a selects one user (for example, a first user) in the user group by using the used mobile device, sends a consumption data access request to the background server device, where the consumption data access request includes a user identifier of the first user, and the background server device searches for consumption data corresponding to the user identifier of the first user according to the user identifier of the first user included in the consumption data access request, and pushes and displays the searched consumption data in the mobile device used by the user a.

In the 90 s of the 20 th century, improvements in a technology could clearly distinguish between improvements in hardware (e.g., improvements in circuit structures such as diodes, transistors, switches, etc.) and improvements in software (improvements in process flow). However, as technology advances, many of today's process flow improvements have been seen as direct improvements in hardware circuit architecture. Designers almost always obtain the corresponding hardware circuit structure by programming an improved method flow into the hardware circuit. Thus, it cannot be said that an improvement in the process flow cannot be realized by hardware physical modules. For example, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), is an integrated circuit whose Logic functions are determined by programming the Device by a user. A digital system is "integrated" on a PLD by the designer's own programming without requiring the chip manufacturer to design and fabricate application-specific integrated circuit chips. Furthermore, nowadays, instead of manually making an integrated Circuit chip, such Programming is often implemented by "logic compiler" software, which is similar to a software compiler used in program development and writing, but the original code before compiling is also written by a specific Programming Language, which is called Hardware Description Language (HDL), and HDL is not only one but many, such as abel (advanced Boolean Expression Language), ahdl (alternate Language Description Language), traffic, pl (core unified Programming Language), HDCal, JHDL (Java Hardware Description Language), langue, Lola, HDL, laspam, hardsradware (Hardware Description Language), vhjhd (Hardware Description Language), and vhigh-Language, which are currently used in most common. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art that hardware circuitry that implements the logical method flows can be readily obtained by merely slightly programming the method flows into an integrated circuit using the hardware description languages described above.

The controller may be implemented in any suitable manner, for example, the controller may take the form of, for example, a microprocessor or processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable program code (e.g., software or firmware) executable by the (micro) processor, logic gates, switches, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic controller, and an embedded microcontroller, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the following microcontrollers: ARC 625D, Atmel AT91SAM, Microchip PIC18F26K20, and Silicone Labs C8051F320, the memory controller may also be implemented as part of the control logic for the memory. Those skilled in the art will also appreciate that, in addition to implementing the controller as pure computer readable program code, the same functionality can be implemented by logically programming method steps such that the controller is in the form of logic gates, switches, application specific integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, embedded microcontrollers and the like. Such a controller may thus be considered a hardware component, and the means included therein for performing the various functions may also be considered as a structure within the hardware component. Or even means for performing the functions may be regarded as being both a software module for performing the method and a structure within a hardware component.

The systems, devices, modules or units illustrated in the above embodiments may be implemented by a computer chip or an entity, or by a product with certain functions. One typical implementation device is a computer. In particular, the computer may be, for example, a personal computer, a laptop computer, a cellular telephone, a camera phone, a smartphone, a personal digital assistant, a media player, a navigation device, an email device, a game console, a tablet computer, a wearable device, or a combination of any of these devices.

For convenience of description, the above devices are described as being divided into various units by function, and are described separately. Of course, the functions of the various elements may be implemented in the same one or more software and/or hardware implementations of the present description.

As will be appreciated by one skilled in the art, embodiments of the present invention may be provided as a method, system, or computer program product. Accordingly, the present invention may take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment or an embodiment combining software and hardware aspects. Furthermore, the present invention may take the form of a computer program product embodied on one or more computer-usable storage media (including, but not limited to, disk storage, CD-ROM, optical storage, and the like) having computer-usable program code embodied therein.

The present invention is described with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems), and computer program products according to embodiments of the specification. It will be understood that each flow and/or block of the flow diagrams and/or block diagrams, and combinations of flows and/or blocks in the flow diagrams and/or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, embedded processor, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions specified in the flowchart flow or flows and/or block diagram block or blocks.

These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer-readable memory that can direct a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to function in a particular manner, such that the instructions stored in the computer-readable memory produce an article of manufacture including instruction means which implement the function specified in the flowchart flow or flows and/or block diagram block or blocks.

These computer program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer or other programmable apparatus to produce a computer implemented process such that the instructions which execute on the computer or other programmable apparatus provide steps for implementing the functions specified in the flowchart flow or flows and/or block diagram block or blocks.

In a typical configuration, a computing device includes one or more processors (CPUs), input/output interfaces, network interfaces, and memory.

The memory may include forms of volatile memory in a computer readable medium, Random Access Memory (RAM) and/or non-volatile memory, such as Read Only Memory (ROM) or flash memory (flash RAM). Memory is an example of a computer-readable medium.

Computer-readable media, including both non-transitory and non-transitory, removable and non-removable media, may implement information storage by any method or technology. The information may be computer readable instructions, data structures, modules of a program, or other data. Examples of computer storage media include, but are not limited to, phase change memory (PRAM), Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), other types of Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), flash memory or other memory technology, compact disc read only memory (CD-ROM), Digital Versatile Discs (DVD) or other optical storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other non-transmission medium that can be used to store information that can be accessed by a computing device. As defined herein, a computer readable medium does not include a transitory computer readable medium such as a modulated data signal and a carrier wave.

It should also be noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.

Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The specification may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network.
