Abstract

An information push method comprises: receiving a distance parameter reported by a client terminal; determining whether a distance to the client terminal satisfies a preset distance condition according to the distance parameter; and when the distance to the terminal satisfies any preset distance condition locally, pushing information corresponding to the preset distance condition to the client terminal, wherein different distance conditions correspond to different information locally and respectively. The techniques of the present disclosure respectively push different information to a user based on different distances to client terminals, and adapt to different user application scenarios, thereby improving the user experience.

judging whether the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal is less than a preset distance threshold; and

determining, when the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal is less than the preset distance threshold, that the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset first distance condition.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the distance parameter includes a signal strength of a wireless frame acquired by the client terminal that is related to the service provider.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein:

the preset distance condition includes a preset second distance condition; and

the determining, according to the distance parameter, whether the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets a preset distance condition includes;

judging whether the signal strength is higher than a preset first signal strength threshold; and

determining, when the signal strength is higher than the first signal strength threshold, that the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset second distance condition.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the distance parameter includes position information reported by the client terminal and a signal strength of a wireless frame acquired by the client terminal that is related to the service provider.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the preset distance condition includes a preset first distance condition and a preset second distance condition; and

the determining, according to the distance parameter, whether the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset distance condition includes;

determining, according to the position information, the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal;

judging whether the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal is less than a preset distance threshold;

determining, when the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal is less than the preset distance threshold, that the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset first distance condition;

judging whether the signal strength is higher than a preset first signal strength threshold; and

determining, when the signal strength is higher than the first signal strength threshold, that the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset second distance condition.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the pushing, to the client terminal, information corresponding to the preset distance condition when the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset distance condition includes:

pushing, when the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset first distance condition, information bound with the preset first distance condition to the client terminal; and

receiving, when the distance between the location of the service provider and the location of the client terminal meets the preset second distance condition, a beacon identification of the wireless frame uploaded by the client terminal and pushing information bound with the beacon identification to the client terminal.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the wireless frame is a Beacon frame.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
