Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of the handheld electronic device of the present invention is a personal navigation device or smart money, the method of performing a search for nearby friends is a combination of multiple social networking sites (e.g., Faceb). The services of 〇〇k, Twitter and Plurk, etc. provide users with advanced functions. The handheld electronic device 100 includes a processing unit, a satellite positioning unit 2, a communication unit 3, an input interface 4, and a display interface 5. In this embodiment, the user has completed the account setting on the three community websites of Faceb〇〇k, Twitter and PlUrk and has established a list of friends. Therefore, the database of the server 61, 62'63 of the social network websites is used. The account information of the user and the list of friends set by the user are stored in the account. On the other hand, each community website posts and stores a geographic information message published by each user using a handheld electronic device. The geographic information in this embodiment refers to a geocode (geocode, Geospatiai Entity) representing a satellite positioning coordinate. Object Code ) 'But not limited to this, it can be any geography > sfl ' such as address that can correspond to a geocode. A message posted by a user containing geographic information 201142625, such as a message showing the address of a meeting place, or uploading a geocoded photo or video. The handheld electronic device 100 of the present embodiment can perform a method for finding nearby friends, as the servers 61, 62, and 63 of the social networking websites store the information containing the geographic information published by each user. The method includes the following steps: Step S11 - The user uses the input interface 4 to operate the login community website, so that the processing unit το 1 executes the login program through the communication unit 3. In this embodiment, the two community websites are logged in by way of example, and the friends to be found in the following steps are the friends list set by the users in the three community websites. Of course, the group can be edited due to the friend list. Groups, so you can also compare specific groups in your friends list. Step Si2—The user uses the input interface 4 to set the search range and time, and the processing unit 1 receives and records the search range setting value and the time setting value. The search range is, for example, within 500 feet of the position of the handheld electronic device (10); the time is, for example, 24 / 1, b# β Λι π t . The aforementioned S11 and S12 are in the same order. One
