  • the processing unit 15 is coupled to the storage unit 11 , the display unit 12 , the input unit 13 , and the positioning unit 14 .
  • the processing unit 15 is able to compare the location information detected by the positioning unit 14 with the location information displayed in the display unit 12 to update the location information. Below, how the mobile device 10 updates the location information will be explained in detail with reference to an example.

  • the processing unit 15 accesses last recorded first location information and displays the first location information in the display unit 12 (step S 202 ). To be specific, every time when a user starts the location display function of the mobile device 10 , the processing unit 15 finds the latest (i.e., the last recorded) location information in the storage unit 11 and displays it in the display unit 12 so that the user can get to know the locations of previously passed place.
  • the location information accessed by the processing unit 15 may be a set of coordinates, an address, or a POI, and when the location information is displayed, the processing unit 15 may display the coordinates, address, and/or name of the corresponding place in a text form or may even display an electronic map around the place and mark the place in the electronic map, so as to allow the user to understand the location information around the location.
  • the processing unit 15 receives an update operation (step S 204 ) and accordingly controls the positioning unit 14 to position the mobile device 10 , so as to obtain second location information of the current location of the mobile device 10 (step S 206 ).
  • the processing unit 15 Before updating the location information, the processing unit 15 first determines whether the current location departs from the previously recorded location so as to prevent the location information of the same place from being repeatedly recorded. To be specific, the processing unit 15 compares the second location information detected by the positioning unit 14 with the first location information displayed in the display unit 12 to determine whether the first location information and the second location information are the same (step S 208 ). Herein the processing unit 15 may directly compare the coordinates of the two location information to determine whether the two places are the same. In another example, the processing unit 15 may also preset an error range for tolerating certain positioning errors. For example, the processing unit 15 first calculates the distance between the first location information and the second location information and then determines whether the distance exceeds a threshold. If the distance exceeds the threshold, the processing unit 15 determines that the second location information is different from the first location information. Otherwise, if the distance does not exceed the threshold, the processing unit 15 determines that the second location information is the same as the first location information.
  • the processing unit 15 determines that the second location information is the same as the first location information, it continues to display the first location information in the display unit 12 without updating it (step S 210 ). Contrarily, if the processing unit 15 determines that the second location information is different from the first location information, it records the second location information into the storage unit 11 and uses the second location information to update the first location information displayed in the display unit 12 (step S 212 ). Thereby, the user can update and record the location information of places he/she passes by anytime, and subsequently, can search for the routes for going back to these places.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in the present example, other related information is further displayed at the same time when the second location information is updated after step S 212 in the example described above.
  • the processing unit 15 records the second location information into the storage unit 11 and uses the second location information to update the first location information displayed in the display unit 12 (step S 402 ).
  • the processing unit 15 further determines the error range of the second location information according to the type of the positioning tool used by the mobile device 10 for obtaining the second location information or the intensity of the positioning signal (step S 404 ) and displays the error range in the display unit 12 (step S 406 ).
  • an existing mobile device may select different positioning technique (for example, GPS outdoors and WiFi indoors) based on whether it can receive any signal from its current location or the intensity of a received signal. Or, the user may select a desired positioning technique. Because different positioning techniques or different signal intensities come with different errors, an error range should be provided to the user as a reference.
  • the processing unit 15 searches a POI database according to the second location information detected by the positioning unit 14 to find out at least one POI close to the location corresponding to the second location information (step S 408 ).
  • the processing unit 15 accesses the POI information of each POI and displays the POI information in the POI information field of the display unit 12 (step S 410 ).

  • the processing unit 15 When the processing unit 15 obtains the second location information detected by the positioning unit 14 , it further records the second location information into a location history record in the storage unit 11 (step S 412 ) and displays the location history record in a history record field in the display unit 12 (step S 414 ) so that the user can understand the places he/she has passed before and the sequence thereof.
