Specifically, the first signal for displaying the transit point information, which is detected by the user equipment UE whether the user trigger is received, may be: checking whether an interface of User Equipment (UE) shows a departure place input box of the taxi taking system or not, and if the interface of the UE shows the departure place input box of the taxi taking system, detecting whether an information input instruction is received in the departure place input box or not; or detecting whether a voice signal for displaying the information of the transfer point is received; or a trigger button for displaying the information of the pick-up point can be arranged on an interface of taxi taking software in the UE, and whether a signal sent by triggering the button by a user is received or not is detected.

Wherein, a User Equipment (UE) is a service requirement party, such as

Passenger in service of calling vehicle, mobile terminal or personal computer used therefor

(Personal Computer, abbreviated as PC). Such as a smart phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a car computer (carputer), a handheld game console, smart glasses, a smart watch, a wearable device, a virtual display device or a display enhancement device (e.g., Google Glass, Oculus Rift, Hololens, Gear VR), etc.

Typically, the origin input box may be displayed in a plug-in manner in an interface of the taxi taking system. The detecting whether the origin input box receives the information input instruction may be, for example: and detecting whether a cursor symbol is displayed in the departure place input box.

S2: when the first signal is received, acquiring the current position information of the UE, determining at least one piece of preset pickup point information of which the distance from the current position of the UE is smaller than a preset threshold value, and displaying the at least one piece of preset pickup point information.

Specifically, the current location information of the UE is obtained through a positioning function of the UE. However, since there may be many preset transfer points, all the transfer points cannot be displayed. Only one or more pick-up point information for passenger attachments need be displayed. For example, if the preset threshold is set to 1 km, one or more transfer points within 1 km from the current location of the UE may be displayed.

Wherein the transfer point information includes: the position information of the transfer point, the distance between the transfer point and the current position of the UE, and the time from the current position of the UE to the transfer point. The passenger can select the taking point which is closer to the passenger or takes shorter time according to the distance between the taking point and the current position of the UE or the time from the current position of the UE to reach the taking point.

S3: and generating departure place information according to the pick-up point information selected by the user, and sending a taxi taking request comprising the departure place information to a taxi taking system.

Specifically, the steps include: and taking the pick-up point information selected by the user as the departure place information, generating a taxi taking request according to the departure place information and the destination information input by the user, and sending the taxi taking request to a taxi taking system.

It can be understood that the taxi taking system is an order data processing platform, and may be a server, and after receiving the taxi taking request of the UE, the taxi taking system generates an order according to the taxi taking request, and sends the order to at least one terminal within a preset range. And the pick-up point has detailed position information, the pick-up terminal can set the pick-up point information in the order as a destination to obtain a clear driving route, and the driver can go to the pick-up point to pick up passengers according to navigation.

The terminal is a service provider, such as a driver in the vehicle calling service, a mobile terminal or a PC terminal used for receiving orders and the like.

In the embodiment, a plurality of taking points are preset, and the detailed address information of the taking points is stored, so that when a passenger sends an order, a plurality of taking points near the passenger are displayed for the passenger to select, and the complexity of communication between a driver and the passenger to a departure place can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the taking efficiency.

In this embodiment, before step S1, the method further includes the following steps:

the map information includes a plurality of preset take-over point information.

Specifically, a plurality of pick-up points are set in a preset area (such as Beijing), information of the plurality of pick-up points is stored in the taxi taking system, and the pick-up point information based on map display can be sent to the UE side so that the UE stores the information of the plurality of pick-up points.

Note that, when setting the transfer point, attention is paid to: 1) the distance between two transfer points is not suitable to be too large, for example, 200 meters is taken as a reference distance, so that the distance that passengers arrive at the transfer points can be reduced, and the positions can be visually confirmed; 2) the method has the advantages that taking-over points with obvious positions, such as bus stations, xx building doorways and the like, are selected preferentially, so that passengers can find the taking-over points conveniently; 3) the pick-up point information needs to store detailed position information thereof, such as the south or north of the road; 4) the selected pick-up points are selected as much as possible to facilitate the parking of the driver.

In this embodiment, the displaying the at least one preset pick-up point information in step S2 specifically includes:

and displaying at least one preset transfer point information with the distance from the current position of the UE smaller than a preset threshold in the area of the departure place input box.

Specifically, when the origin input box displays the cursor symbol, a plurality of pieces of information of the pick-up points may appear in a lower area of the origin input box, each of the information of the pick-up points including: specific location of the pickup point, distance from the passenger and time taken for the passenger to reach the pickup point, etc.

In another implementable manner, at least one preset take-over point information having a distance from the current location of the UE less than a preset threshold is displayed on a map of the UE.

As shown in fig. 2, the passenger position and the position of the take-over point in the vicinity thereof are displayed on the map of the UE. Assuming that the passenger calls the bus at the position A, the passenger only knows that the position of the passenger is near the West door of the three areas of the peaceful Huating court according to the positioning information, but the driver still needs to communicate with the specific position of the passenger, and three pick-up points can be provided near the passenger, and when the passenger selects the pick-up point 2 (in the example, the bus station at the east-west of the city home of the current generation) as the boarding point, the passenger is a definite position for the driver. Therefore, the communication time between passengers and drivers can be effectively reduced, the taking efficiency is improved, and the riding experience is improved.

Further, several nearest passenger pickup points or the distance to a passenger may be highlighted with a distinct color or pattern on the map, and detailed location information such as the current city home bus stop board (westward) of the anning jude may be displayed when the user clicks. So that passengers can more intuitively get closer pick-up points to them.

In this embodiment, the method further includes:

Specifically, after the taxi taking system receives a taxi taking request of the UE, an order is generated according to the taxi taking request and is sent to at least one terminal, if the terminal receives the order, the taxi taking system can obtain the position information of the terminal receiving the order, the specific time when the terminal reaches the pickup point can be estimated according to the position information of the terminal and the pickup point information selected by the passenger, the specific time and the information of the terminal are sent to the UE, and the UE can display the specific time when the terminal reaches the pickup point through a prompt box or display the specific time when the terminal reaches the pickup point at the pickup point selected by the passenger on a map. Therefore, the passenger can conveniently control the time of going out, unnecessary communication is reduced, and passenger experience is improved.
