The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure relates to a navigation end and a terminal, wherein the navigation end can be a server or a terminal, and the embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the server or the terminal. In the related art, if a plurality of users in different positions travel at the same time and need to arrive at the same destination, although a navigation application can plan a reasonable route for each user, the users cannot acquire the positions of the other users, so that the users may arrive too early or too late, which is not favorable for the overall planning of the users on the travel time, and the user experience is not good.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a navigation method, and an execution main body for implementing the method comprises a terminal and a navigation end. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, two embodiments for implementing the navigation method are arranged according to different implementation main bodies, as follows:

navigation end side

Fig. 1a is a flowchart illustrating a navigation method applied to a navigation end according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1a, the navigation method includes the following steps 101 to 103:

in step 101, after a plurality of terminals each join a target group, current positions and destination positions of the plurality of terminals are acquired.

In step 102, a target route of each of the plurality of terminals is obtained according to the current positions and the destination positions of the plurality of terminals.

In step 103, target route information is respectively sent to each terminal according to the target route of each terminal, and the target route information comprises the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal, so that each terminal can display the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal conveniently.

For example, when a leader user organizes a plurality of users to travel simultaneously, the leader user may instruct the used terminal to send a setup request to the navigation terminal, where the setup request includes a terminal identifier and a destination location of the terminal, and the terminal may be used as the leader terminal. And after receiving the establishment request, the navigation terminal records the terminal identifier of the leader terminal, then generates a group code of a target group and sends the group code to the leader terminal. After consulting the group code through the leader terminal, the leader user informs a plurality of users needing to go out simultaneously of the group code, the users can indicate the terminals used by the users to send a group entering request to the navigation terminal, and the group entering request comprises the group code and the terminal identification of each terminal. After receiving the group sending request sent by the plurality of terminals, the navigation terminal may join the terminal corresponding to the group sending request including the group code identical to the group code of the target group into the target group, and record the terminal identifications of all the terminals included in the target group, thereby completing the establishment of the target group.

Optionally, the terminal not joining the target group may also be invited to join the target group by the terminal already joining the target group. Specifically, the first terminal is a terminal that has joined the target group, and if a second terminal needs to be added to the target group, the terminal identifier of the second terminal may be acquired, and then an invitation request is sent to the navigation terminal according to the terminal identifier. After receiving the invitation request, the navigation end may join the second terminal to the group where the first terminal is located, that is, join the second terminal to the target group.

Optionally, in the case of no leader user, the multiple users may simultaneously instruct the terminal to send a setup request to the navigation end, where the setup request may include a destination location and a corresponding terminal identifier. After receiving establishment requests sent by a plurality of terminals, the navigation terminal acquires a destination position and a terminal identifier included in each establishment request, and then joins the terminals with the same destination position into the same group to realize the establishment of the target group.

After the target group is established, the navigation end may send the group establishment feedback information to the plurality of terminals included in the target group, where the group establishment feedback information includes the terminal identifiers of the plurality of terminals included in the target group, so that the plurality of terminals may determine to join the target group and confirm other terminals in the target group.

After determining to join the target group, the terminal may send location information to the navigation end according to its current location, where the location information includes a current location of the corresponding terminal and a terminal identifier. After receiving the position information sent by the plurality of terminals, the navigation terminal can determine a group where each terminal is located according to the terminal identifier included in each position information, and then plan at least one travel route for each terminal according to the pre-stored destination position of the group and the current position of the terminal. If the navigation end only plans a traveling route for each terminal included in the target group, the traveling route is the target route of the terminal. If the navigation end plans a plurality of traveling routes for each terminal included in the target group, the navigation end may generate route information of each terminal and send the route information to a corresponding terminal, where the route information includes a plurality of traveling routes planned for the corresponding terminal by the navigation end. And after receiving the route information, the terminal displays a plurality of traveling routes planned for the corresponding terminal by the navigation terminal and then prompts a user to select. The user can select one of the travel routes as a target route according to the self requirement, such as the requirement of passing through a rest area or passing through a large supermarket, a hospital and the like. The terminal can send confirmation information to the navigation terminal according to the selection of the user, and the confirmation information is used for indicating the target route confirmed by the user. After receiving confirmation information sent by a plurality of terminals included in a target group, a navigation terminal acquires a target route of each terminal according to the instructions of the confirmation information, then generates target route information according to the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal, and sends the target route information to each terminal included in the target group, wherein the target route information includes the target route of each terminal in the terminals and the current position of each terminal. And after receiving the target route information, the terminal displays the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal, which are included in the target route information, and prompts a user to consult. After the user refers to the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal, the arrival time of each user can be estimated, the travel time of the user can be planned, and the situation that the user arrives too early or too late is avoided.

Optionally, if the navigation end plans a plurality of travel routes for each terminal included in the target group, the navigation end may generate total route information and send the total route information to the leader terminal, where the total route information includes a plurality of travel routes planned by the navigation end for each terminal included in the target group. The lead terminal, after receiving the overall route information, may display a plurality of travel routes of each terminal included in the overall route information and prompt the lead user to refer. The leader user can specify a target route for each terminal according to traveling requirements of a plurality of users, for example, requirements for rest, shopping, or hospitalization. After determining that the leader user is completely assigned, the leader terminal can generate confirmed route information for a target route assigned by each terminal according to the leader user, and send the confirmed route information to the navigation terminal. After receiving the confirmed route information sent by the leader terminal, the navigation terminal acquires target route information according to a target route specified by each terminal included in the confirmed route information, and sends the target route information to each terminal included in the target group, wherein the target route information includes the target route of each terminal in the plurality of terminals and the current position of each terminal. And after receiving the target route information, the terminal displays the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal, which are included in the target route information, and prompts a user to consult. After the user refers to the target route of each terminal and the current position of each terminal, the arrival time of each user can be estimated, the travel time of the user can be planned, and the situation that the user arrives too early or too late is avoided.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when a plurality of users go out at the same time, the navigation end can plan the target route for each user, and sends the target route planned for each user and the current position of each user to the terminal used by each user who goes out at the same time, at this moment, the terminal can simultaneously display the target routes and the current positions of the plurality of users, the user can plan and control the traveling time by looking up the target route and the current position of each user displayed by the terminal, the condition of too early arrival or too late arrival is avoided, the practicability of the navigation end is improved, and the user experience is better.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1b, the method further comprises steps 104 to 106:

in step 104, the travel position and the travel speed of each terminal are acquired in real time during the travel of the plurality of terminals.

In step 105, it is determined whether each terminal is in a normal state according to the travel position and the travel speed of each terminal.

In step 106, if the state of the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, sending a first prompt message to the reference terminal, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the reference terminal to return to the normal state, and the reference terminal is any one of the multiple terminals; or if the state of the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, sending second prompt information to the leader terminal, wherein the second prompt information is used for prompting the abnormal state of the reference terminal to the leader terminal, and the leader terminal is a terminal for establishing a target group or a terminal determined according to the advancing position and the advancing speed of each terminal.

For example, the plurality of terminals may acquire the travel position in real time during the travel process and send the travel position to the navigation end. After the navigation end receives the travel position sent by each terminal for multiple times, the navigation end can acquire the travel speed of each terminal according to the travel positions received for multiple times. It is then determined whether the travel speed of each terminal is normal, for example, whether the travel speed is greater than or equal to a first preset speed threshold, or less than or equal to a second preset speed threshold, the first preset speed threshold being greater than the second preset speed threshold. If the traveling speed of the reference terminal is greater than or equal to the first preset speed threshold value, or less than or equal to the second preset speed threshold value, it is indicated that the current traveling speed of the reference terminal is too high, or the traveling speed is too low, that is, the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, at this time, the navigation end may send first prompt information to the reference terminal, where the first prompt information is used to prompt the reference terminal to increase the speed or decrease the speed, that is, prompt the reference terminal to recover to the normal state as soon as possible. After receiving the first prompt message, the reference terminal may display the first prompt message and prompt a reference user for reference, where the reference user is any one of the multiple users corresponding to the reference terminal. The reference user can accelerate or decelerate according to the prompt of the first prompt message, so that the reference terminal is restored to a normal state as soon as possible. If the traveling speed of the reference terminal is less than the first preset speed threshold and greater than the second preset speed threshold, that is, the reference terminal is in a normal state, the navigation terminal may not process the navigation terminal, and the plurality of terminals may continue to be detected. In practical application, the navigation end may also compare the traveling speed of each terminal with a third preset speed threshold, send a first prompt message indicating to decrease the traveling speed to a case that the traveling speed is greater than the third preset speed threshold, and send a first prompt message indicating to increase the traveling speed to a case that the traveling speed is less than the third preset speed threshold, where the third preset speed threshold may be an average value of the traveling speeds of the plurality of terminals.

Optionally, the leader terminal may further send a start instruction to the navigation end according to an instruction of the leader user, and after the navigation end determines that the start instruction is received, it determines whether each terminal is in a normal state according to the real-time acquired travel position and travel speed of each terminal.

Optionally, if the navigation end determines that the current traveling speed of the reference terminal is too high, or the traveling speed is too low, that is, the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, the navigation end may send second prompt information to the leader terminal, where the second prompt information is used to prompt the leader terminal of the abnormal state of the reference terminal, that is, to prompt the reference terminal that a falling risk or a collision risk may occur, so that the leader terminal takes remedial measures. Specifically, after receiving the second prompt message, the leader terminal may display the second prompt message and instruct a leader user to refer, where the leader user is a user using the leader terminal. After the leader user refers to the second prompt information, if the traveling speed of the reference terminal is determined to be slow, collision danger may occur; or when the travelling speed is high and the falling danger possibly occurs, the reference user can be contacted to determine whether the reference user needs rescue or not, or the reference user is prompted to increase or decrease the speed, so that the falling behind is avoided.

Optionally, the leader terminal may be a terminal that establishes the target group, that is, the navigation terminal may use the terminal that sends the establishment request, or the terminal that sends the establishment request first as the leader terminal. Or, the navigation end may determine a leader terminal according to information such as current travel positions, travel speeds and/or distances to destinations of the plurality of terminals, where the leader terminal is an entity terminal. For example, the leader terminal may be a terminal closest to the destination among the plurality of terminals, or may be a terminal having the fastest speed among the plurality of terminals, or may be a terminal having the shortest travel route among the plurality of terminals. Or the navigation end may determine a virtual terminal group as the leader terminal according to information such as the current traveling positions, the traveling speeds, and/or the distances between the navigation end and the destinations of the plurality of terminals, for example, determine the central point of the area where the current positions of the plurality of terminals are distributed as the position where the virtual leader terminal is located, or determine the average speed of the traveling speeds of the plurality of terminals as the traveling speed of the virtual leader terminal. In practical applications, the virtual leader terminal may be adjusted in real time or the physical leader terminal may be changed in real time according to information such as the travel positions, the travel speeds, and/or the distances to destinations of the plurality of terminals.

For example, the navigation end may determine whether the distance between each terminal and the leader terminal is normal according to the received travel positions of the plurality of terminals, that is, whether the distance between each terminal and the leader terminal is greater than or equal to a preset distance threshold. If the distance between the reference terminal and the leader terminal is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, it is indicated that the reference terminal may fall behind or be out of control, that is, the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, at this time, the navigation end may send first prompt information to the reference terminal, where the first prompt information is used to prompt the reference terminal to accelerate to catch up with the leader terminal, that is, prompt the reference terminal to recover to a normal state as soon as possible. The reference terminal may display the first prompt information after receiving the first prompt information, and prompt the reference user for reference. The reference user can accelerate the speed of chasing the leader user according to the prompt of the first prompt message, and the reference terminal is recovered to the normal state as soon as possible. And if the distance between the reference terminal and the leader terminal is smaller than a preset distance threshold value, namely the reference terminal is in a normal state, the navigation terminal continues to monitor the plurality of monitoring terminals.

Optionally, if the navigation end determines that the distance between the current reference terminal and the leader terminal is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, that is, the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, the navigation end may send second prompt information to the leader terminal, where the second prompt information is used to prompt the leader terminal of the abnormal state of the reference terminal, that is, to prompt the reference terminal that a risk of queue dropping may occur, so that the leader terminal takes remedial measures. Specifically, after receiving the second prompt message, the leader terminal may display the second prompt message and instruct the leader user to review the second prompt message. After the leader user refers to the second prompt information, if the distance between the reference terminal and the leader user is determined to be longer, the leader user can contact the reference user to prompt the reference user to accelerate, so that the falling behind is avoided; or contact other users to instruct the other users to rest in place waiting for the reference user to catch up to the large troops.

For example, the navigation end may determine a travel speed of each terminal and a distance between the current terminal and the destination according to the received travel positions of the plurality of terminals, further obtain a remaining arrival time of each terminal, that is, a time required for each terminal to reach the destination according to the travel speed and the distance between the destination, and determine whether the remaining arrival time of each terminal is less than or equal to a preset time threshold. If the remaining arrival time of the reference terminal is greater than the preset time threshold, it is indicated that the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, that is, the reference terminal may go wrong with the route, at this time, the navigation end may send a first prompt message to the reference terminal, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the reference terminal to return to the target route again from the original route, that is, prompt the reference terminal to recover to the normal state as soon as possible. The reference terminal may display the first prompt information after receiving the first prompt information, and prompt the reference user for reference. The reference user can return according to the prompt original path of the first prompt message, so that the reference terminal is restored to a normal state as soon as possible. Specifically, the preset time threshold may be an average value of the remaining arrival times of the plurality of terminals.

Optionally, if the navigation end determines that the remaining arrival time of the reference terminal is greater than the preset time threshold, that is, the reference terminal is in the abnormal state, the navigation end may send second prompt information to the leader terminal, where the second prompt information is used to prompt the leader terminal of the abnormal state of the reference terminal, so that the leader terminal can take remedial measures. Specifically, after receiving the second prompt message, the leader terminal may display the second prompt message and instruct the leader user to review the second prompt message. After the leader user refers to the second prompt information, if the remaining arrival time of the reference terminal is determined to be longer, the reference terminal is indicated to possibly go wrong, and the reference user can be contacted to prompt the reference user to return to the original way.

Or, the navigation end may obtain the remaining arrival time of each terminal, and then determine whether the difference between the shortest remaining arrival time and the longest remaining arrival time is less than a preset difference threshold. If the difference between the shortest remaining arrival time and the longest remaining arrival time is greater than or equal to the preset difference threshold, and the longest remaining arrival time is the remaining arrival time of the reference terminal, it indicates that the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, that is, the reference terminal may go wrong or fall behind, at this time, the navigation end may send a first prompt message to the reference terminal, where the first prompt message is used to prompt the reference terminal to return to the target route again from the original route, or to accelerate the traveling speed, that is, to prompt the reference terminal to return to the normal state as soon as possible. The reference terminal may display the first prompt information after receiving the first prompt information, and prompt the reference user for reference. The reference user can return or accelerate according to the prompt original path of the first prompt message, so that the reference terminal is restored to a normal state as soon as possible.

Optionally, if the navigation end determines that the difference between the shortest remaining arrival time and the longest remaining arrival time is greater than or equal to the preset difference threshold, and the longest remaining arrival time is the remaining arrival time of the reference terminal, which indicates that the reference terminal is in an abnormal state, the navigation end may send the second prompt message to the leader terminal. Specifically, after receiving the second prompt message, the leader terminal may display the second prompt message and instruct the leader user to review the second prompt message. After the leader user refers to the second prompt information, if it is determined that the remaining arrival time of the reference terminal is longer, that is, the reference terminal may arrive later, it is described that the reference terminal may go wrong, or a risk of falling behind occurs, the reference user may be contacted, and the reference user is prompted to return to the original way or increase the speed.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1c, the method comprises steps 107 to 108:

in step 107, instruction information for instructing the terminal to suspend traveling, increase the traveling speed, decrease the traveling speed, or replace the traveling route is acquired.

In step 108, the instruction information is sent to at least one of the plurality of terminals, so that the at least one terminal can uniformly execute the instruction information.

For example, in the traveling process of a plurality of terminals, if the leader user determines that a rest needs to be performed, or the leader user needs to accelerate the traveling speed, or reduce the traveling speed, or change the traveling route, the leader terminal may be instructed to send instruction information to the navigation end. The navigation terminal can forward the received instruction information to other terminals except the leader terminal in the plurality of terminals included in the target group. After receiving the instruction information, the other terminals can display the instruction information and prompt the user to consult. After the user consults the instruction information, unified actions can be executed according to the instruction of the instruction information, for example, unified rest is carried out, or unified traveling speed is increased, or unified traveling speed is reduced, or unified route replacement is carried out.

Optionally, in the traveling process of the multiple terminals, the navigation end may determine in real time whether the accumulated traveling time of the terminals is greater than or equal to the preset rest duration. If the user needs to take a rest after traveling for a long time, the navigation end can generate instruction information for instructing to take a rest collectively and send the instruction information to the plurality of terminals. Each terminal, after receiving the instruction information, may display the instruction information and prompt the user for review. After the user consults the instruction information, the user can take a rest uniformly according to the instruction information. Or, the navigation end can also determine whether the traveling speed of the terminal is too slow in real time; if so, instruction information indicating the speed acceleration can be sent to the plurality of terminals, so that the plurality of terminals can uniformly increase the traveling speed. Or, the navigation end can also determine whether the traveling speed of the terminal is too fast in real time; if so, instruction information indicating a reduction in speed may be sent to the plurality of terminals so that the plurality of terminals reduce the travel speed collectively. Or, the navigation end can also determine whether the traveling route of the terminal is congested or not in real time; if the traveling routes of the plurality of terminals are congested, instruction information indicating route replacement can be sent to the plurality of terminals, so that the plurality of terminals can replace the traveling routes uniformly.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1d, the method comprises steps 109 to 111:

in step 109, the key locations on the target route of each terminal are acquired.

In step 110, during the traveling of the plurality of terminals, whether each terminal reaches a critical position on the respective target route is determined according to the traveling position of each terminal.

In step 111, if the reference terminal reaches the key position of the target route, third prompt information is sent to the reference terminal, and the third prompt information is used for prompting the reference terminal to stay at the key position or wait for other terminals to converge at the key position.

For example, when the leader terminal specifies a target route for each terminal, a key position may be specified for each terminal on the target route, where the key position may be a position suitable for a user to rest or a position required for a user to converge, and when the confirmation route information is sent to the navigation end, the key position of the target route is carried in the confirmation route information and sent to the navigation end, that is, the navigation end may also record the key position of each target route when recording the target route of each terminal. In the process of advancing the plurality of terminals, the navigation end can acquire the advancing position of each terminal in real time, and further determine whether each terminal reaches the key position of the corresponding target route. If the reference terminal reaches the key position of the target route, third prompt information can be sent to the reference terminal, and the third prompt information is used for prompting the reference terminal to stay at the key position or wait for other terminals to converge at the key position. The reference terminal may display the third prompt instruction information and prompt the user to refer after receiving the third prompt information. After consulting the third prompt message, the user may stop at the key position or wait for other terminals to converge according to the indication of the third prompt message.

Optionally, after the navigation end obtains the target route of each terminal, a key position may be set for each terminal according to the actual situation of each target route, and the key position may be a position suitable for a user to rest on the target route or a position suitable for waiting for other users to converge. In the process of advancing the plurality of terminals, the navigation end can acquire the advancing position of each terminal in real time, and further determine whether each terminal reaches the key position of the corresponding target route. If the reference terminal reaches the key position of the target route, third prompt information can be sent to the reference terminal. The reference terminal may display the third prompt instruction information and prompt the user to refer after receiving the third prompt information. After consulting the third prompt message, the user may stop at the key position or wait for other terminals to converge according to the indication of the third prompt message.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1e, the method further comprises steps 112 to 113:

in step 112, in the process of traveling of the plurality of terminals, it is determined whether the order of the final arrival destinations of the plurality of terminals conforms to a preset arrival order according to the traveling position and the traveling speed of each terminal acquired in real time.

In step 113, if the final arrival order of the plurality of terminals does not conform to the preset arrival order, fourth prompting information is sent to the plurality of terminals respectively, and the fourth prompting information is used for prompting the terminals to move according to the preset arrival order.

For example, when the leader terminal specifies the target route of each terminal, the leader terminal may simultaneously specify a preset arrival order of the plurality of terminals, and carry the preset arrival order in the confirmation route information to send to the navigation terminal, and when the navigation terminal sends the target route information to the terminal, the navigation terminal may also carry the preset arrival order in the target route information to send to the terminal. In the process of advancing of a plurality of terminals, the navigation end can acquire the advancing position and the advancing speed of each terminal in real time, then acquire the residual arrival time of each terminal according to the advancing position and the advancing speed of each terminal, sort the plurality of terminals according to the descending of the residual arrival time, and judge whether the sort accords with the preset arrival sequence. If the sequence does not accord with the preset arrival sequence, fourth prompt messages can be respectively sent to the plurality of terminals. And after receiving the fourth prompt message, the terminal displays the fourth prompt message and prompts a user to consult. After looking up the fourth prompt message, the user can know that the current advancing sequence is wrong, adjust the advancing speed as much as possible and ensure that the arriving sequence accords with the preset arriving sequence.

Or, if the sequence does not conform to the preset arrival sequence, the navigation end may determine a plurality of terminals with an incorrect sequence, and then send fourth prompt information to the plurality of terminals respectively. The terminal that receives the fourth prompt message may display the fourth prompt message and prompt the user to refer. After looking up the fourth prompt message, the user can know that the current advancing sequence is wrong, adjust the advancing speed as much as possible and ensure that the arriving sequence accords with the preset arriving sequence.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first prompt information, the second prompt information, the third prompt information, and the fourth prompt information may also be voice information, and the terminal may perform voice playing after receiving the prompt information, so that a user can know the content of the prompt information conveniently.

In practical application, the navigation terminal can also be used as a transfer station to forward information such as characters, pictures, videos and the like sent by a certain terminal to other terminals, so that a chat function among a plurality of terminals is realized, and the social attribute of the navigation terminal is enhanced.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a navigation method, when a plurality of users go out at the same time, a navigation end can plan a target route for each user, and sends the target route planned for each user and the current position of each user to a terminal used by each user who goes out at the same time, at this moment, the terminal can simultaneously display the target routes and the current positions of the plurality of users, the users can plan and control the traveling time by looking up the target route and the current position of each user displayed by the terminal, the condition of too early arrival or too late arrival is avoided, the practicability of the navigation end is improved, and the user experience is better.
