Fig. 2 shows a schematic implementation flow diagram of a real-time location sharing method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method is performed by a positioning system, the method comprising:

step S201: and in the communication process of the first terminal and the second terminal, receiving a position sharing request sent by the second terminal, wherein the second terminal is a terminal initiating communication to the first terminal.

In an embodiment, the call between the first terminal and the second terminal may be a telephone call or a network call.

In an embodiment, the location sharing request is used to request the positioning system to provide the second terminal with the location information of the first terminal.

Step S202: and sending a short message sending notice to the short message system according to the position sharing request, wherein the short message sending notice is used for triggering the short message system to send the position sharing short message to the first terminal.

In some embodiments, the location sharing short message is used to request the first terminal to upload the first location information of the first terminal to the location system.

In some embodiments, the location sharing sms further includes a location sharing link, where the location sharing link is used for the first terminal to open the first map on the web page.

Step S203: and receiving first positioning information sent by the first terminal, wherein the first positioning information comprises satellite positioning information and network positioning information.

In one embodiment, the satellite positioning information includes GPS (Global Positioning System ) positioning information.

In one embodiment, the network location information includes WiFi (Wireless Fidelity ) location information and base station location information. The WiFi positioning information is determined based on WiFi connected with the first terminal, and the base station positioning information is determined based on base stations connected with the first terminal.

Step S204: and determining audio positioning information according to the call audio of the first terminal and the second terminal.

In one embodiment, the call audio is converted into call text; extracting a reference object and distance information corresponding to the reference object in the call text; and determining audio positioning information according to the reference object and the distance information.

In some embodiments, talk audio refers to real-time audio of the first terminal and the second terminal. In some other embodiments, the call audio may also be real-time audio of the first terminal.

Optionally, performing voice conversion text processing on the call audio through a voice recognition model to obtain a voice text.

Optionally, extracting a reference object and distance information corresponding to the reference object in the call text through a semantic recognition model. The semantic recognition model is used to identify references in the call text, optionally including, but not limited to, at least one of buildings, attractions, natural landscapes, landmark landscapes.

In some embodiments, the call audio may explicitly indicate the name of the reference, at which point the positioning system may determine the position directly from the name of the reference. Exemplary, extracting a reference object in a call text through a semantic recognition model; if the reference object is detected to be positioned in the database, extracting the position information of the reference object from the database, and taking the position information of the reference object as audio positioning information. The database stores the corresponding relation between the reference object and the position information of the reference object.

In an alternative example, the call text is "i am at the east gate of XX amusement park", the reference is identified as "the east gate of XX amusement park" by the semantic recognition model, the location information of "the east gate of XX amusement park" is obtained by the database query, and the location information is determined as the audio positioning information.

In some embodiments, the reference includes at least two, and the position of the reference is determined on the map; determining the coverage area of the reference object on the map according to the distance information and the position of the reference object; and determining the audio positioning information according to the overlapping area of the coverage area.

In some embodiments, the map is derived based on satellite positioning information and/or network positioning information. For example, when the satellite positioning information is acquired, a circle is made with a position corresponding to the satellite positioning information as a center of a circle and a preset length as a radius, so as to obtain the map. For example, when the network positioning information is acquired, a circle is made with a position corresponding to the network positioning information as a circle center and a preset length as a radius, so as to obtain the map. The method includes the steps that under the condition that satellite positioning information and network positioning information are obtained, a circle is formed by taking a position corresponding to the satellite positioning information as a circle center and taking a preset length as a radius, and a first map is obtained; taking the position corresponding to the network positioning information as a circle center and taking the preset length as a radius to make a circle to obtain a second map; and taking the union set of the first map and the second map to obtain the map.

In some other embodiments, the map may also be derived based on a historical location of the first terminal. Optionally, the historical position is obtained according to satellite positioning information or network positioning information of the first terminal at a historical moment. For example, at a certain historical moment, the first terminal establishes communication connection with the base station a, and the base station a determines that the first terminal is located at the position B, where the position B is the historical position, and a circle obtained by taking the position B as a center and taking the preset length as a radius is the range of the map.

In some embodiments, the reference includes a name of the building. Illustratively, the reference obtained by the semantic recognition model is "XX building", and the location of "XX building" is determined in the map.

In some embodiments, the reference includes a feature of the building including, but not limited to, at least one of height, color, footprint. By way of example, if the reference obtained by the semantic recognition model is a "white building", a building whose color is white is determined in the map as the reference, and its position in the map is acquired. For example, if the reference obtained by the semantic recognition model is the "highest tower", the highest tower is determined in the map as the reference, and its position in the map is acquired. In some embodiments, there may be multiple eligible references in the map. If the number of the references in the map is greater than the preset number, the audio positioning information is considered invalid. The preset number may be preset according to actual situations.

In practical situations, the description of the reference by the call audio is not necessarily accurate. For example, the reference obtained by the semantic recognition model is a "relatively high building", in which case it is considered that the audio localization information is not available.

In some alternative embodiments, the distance information includes a distance between the first terminal and the reference object, and the coverage area may be a circle with the reference object as a center and the distance as a radius. By way of example, call audio is "I are about 200 meters from the A building," and "200 meters" herein is the distance information described above.

In some embodiments, the coverage of the reference is a circle centered on the reference and at a radius from the distance information. The reference objects include a first reference object and a second reference object for example, wherein the first reference object corresponds to first distance information, the second reference object corresponds to second distance information, and the coverage area of the first reference object is a circle with the first reference object as a center and the first distance information as a radius; the coverage area of the second reference object is a circle taking the second reference object as a circle center and the second distance information as a radius. And taking the overlapping area of the two circles as audio positioning information.

In a real scenario, the call audio does not always accurately give the distance information. For example, the call audio is "i near building a", in which case the distance information may be preset. For example, in the case where the distance information in the call audio is not acquired, a preset distance is used as the distance information, and for example, the preset distance includes, but is not limited to, at least one of 50 meters, 100 meters, or 150 meters, and may be set according to actual situations.

Step S205: and determining first shared positioning information according to the first positioning information and the audio positioning information.

In one embodiment, determining an environment type of the first terminal according to the audio positioning information, wherein the environment type comprises an indoor environment and an outdoor environment; and determining first shared positioning information according to the environment type and the first positioning information. The environment type is used to represent the environment in which the first terminal is located.

In some embodiments, network signal strength and satellite signal strength of the first terminal are obtained; and determining the environment type according to the network signal strength and the satellite signal strength.

In some embodiments, since different positioning information has different accuracies when the first terminal is in different environments, it is necessary to use different positioning information as the first shared positioning information according to different environment types. In the case that the environment type is an indoor environment, the network positioning information is preferentially used as first shared positioning information; in the case where the environment type is an outdoor environment, satellite positioning information is preferentially taken as the first shared positioning information.

In some embodiments, network positioning information, satellite positioning information, and audio positioning information are sent to the first terminal for the first terminal to select by itself.

In some embodiments, the first shared location information is determined in the first location information without obtaining call audio. For example, if there is satellite positioning information and no network positioning information, the satellite positioning information is determined as the first shared positioning information. For example, if there is network positioning information without satellite positioning information, the network positioning information is determined as the first shared positioning information.

In an actual scenario, the above network positioning information, satellite positioning information, and audio positioning information may not necessarily be acquired simultaneously. Therefore, according to whether the network positioning information, the satellite positioning information and the audio positioning information are acquired or not, the following eight cases can be included:
