For example, look up the name and address of a hotel, theater, library, gas station, etc. in the surrounding area where the mobile terminal or user is located. Therefore, when the old man machine needs to use a certain LBS, the corresponding LBS service request can be initiated to the service terminal. The LBS service request is a mutually agreed format between the old machine and the service terminal, and the LBS service request can be initiated by using a short message or a fixed service number.

Step S102: The service terminal performs corresponding processing according to the LBS service request, and returns the processing result to the old man machine.

The service terminal parses the LBS service request according to a format agreed with the old man machine to determine the type of the LBS service request, so that the service can be processed according to the service type requested by the LBS service, and the processing result is returned to the old man machine. For example, when the type of the LBS service is a location inquiry, the geographical location of the old man machine is searched, and the search result is returned to the old man.

The invention realizes the function of assisting the LBS through the communication between the mobile phones, and therefore, the user experience is enhanced for the promotion and use of the care mobile phone business.

In the above step S102, before the service terminal analyzes the LBS service request, the legality of the old man machine may be first determined, that is, whether the old man machine has registered the LBS service. Therefore, before the step S101 in the method for implementing the location service of the mobile terminal of the present invention, the method further includes: The end registers the LBS service. The LBS service registration process includes the following steps:

Step A: The old man machine sends a text message of the service registration application to the service terminal according to the agreed format, and applies for registration of the LBS;

Step B: The service terminal parses the short message to determine whether to register the short message for the service, if yes, step C is performed; otherwise, step D is performed;

Step C: Add the number of the old man machine to the service number list, and send a short message to the old man machine that the service registration is successful;

Step D: Send a text message that the service registration failed to the elderly machine.

Step S203: Determine whether the sender of the short message is a registered legal user, if yes, execute step S204; otherwise, end the process;

Step S204, determining that the service type of the LBS service request is the current location query service; Step S205, determining whether the short message includes the latitude and longitude information of the current location of the old man machine, and then executing step S207; otherwise, executing step S206;

Step S206: The service terminal locates the old man machine, and obtains the latitude and longitude information of the current position of the old man machine;

Step S207: The service terminal sends the latitude and longitude information of the current location to the server, and reads, by the server, the address information corresponding to the latitude and longitude information of the current location from the map database server. Step S208: The service terminal obtains the specific information by using the short message according to the agreed format. The address information is sent to the elderly machine.

3 is a LBS service request for route search in a method for implementing a location service of a mobile terminal according to the present invention; Schematic diagram of the process of requesting a service request, referring to Figure 3, the specific process is as follows:

Step S301: The elderly machine sends a route query service request to the service terminal according to the agreed format. Step S302: The service terminal parses the received short message to determine whether the short message type is a service registration short message, if yes, step S303 is performed; otherwise, the process ends;

Step S303, determining whether the sender of the short message is a registered legal user, if yes, executing step S304; otherwise, ending the process;

Step S304, determining that the service type of the LBS service request is a route query service;

Step S305, determining whether the short message includes the latitude and longitude information of the departure place of the old man machine, if yes, proceeding to step S307; otherwise, executing step S306;

Step S306: The service terminal locates the old man machine, obtains the latitude and longitude information of the current position of the old man machine, and converts the position information of the destination into the latitude and longitude information;

When the short message requested by the LBS service does not include the latitude and longitude information of the departure place of the old man, the latitude and longitude information of the current position of the old man machine is obtained and used as the latitude and longitude information of the departure place.

Step S307: The service terminal sends the latitude and longitude information of the departure place and the latitude and longitude information of the destination to the server, and the route information from the departure place to the destination is read by the server from the map database server;

Step S308: The service terminal sends the route information to the old man machine through the MMS according to the agreed format; or the service terminal converts the route information into the text information according to the agreed format and sends the message to the old man machine through the short message.

4 is a schematic flowchart of a LBS service request being a POI query service request in a method for implementing a location service of a mobile terminal according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the specific process is as follows:

Step S401: The old man machine sends a point of interest query service request to the service terminal according to the agreed format;

Step S402: The service terminal parses the received short message, and determines whether the short message type is a service registration short message, if yes, step S403 is performed; otherwise, the process ends; Step S403, determining whether the short message sender is a registered legal user, if yes, executing step S404; otherwise, ending the process;

Step S404, determining that the service type of the LBS service request is the interest point query service; Step S405, determining whether the short message includes the latitude and longitude information of the reference point position, if yes, executing step S407; otherwise, executing step S406;

Step S406: The service terminal locates the old man machine, and obtains the latitude and longitude information of the current position of the old man machine;

When the short message requested by the LBS service does not include the latitude and longitude information of the reference point position, the latitude and longitude information of the current location of the old man machine is obtained and used as the latitude and longitude information of the reference point position.

Step S407: The service terminal sends the latitude and longitude information of the reference point location and the point of interest to the server, and the geographic location and basic information of the point of interest around the reference point are read by the server from the map database server;

Step S408: The service terminal sends the geographic location and basic information of the interest point around the reference point to the old man machine through the short message according to the agreed format.

The above server may include a location server and a map server. The positioning server is mainly configured to receive the positioning request of the old man machine and the service terminal in various states, and receive the third party positioning request. The map server is mainly configured to receive the location address of the old man machine and the inquiry address sent by the service terminal, and generate a map containing the location information of the query according to the information, and send the map to the service terminal.
