Abstract

The present invention may be related to a system of providing location-based service. The system may include a position module, a management module, a bid module and a map information module. The position module may be configured to receive first position information. The management module may be configured to receive product information and generate a product page based on the product information, wherein the product information may include at least one of a title, a price, a description, a picture, a voice introduction or a video of a product. The product page may show at least one of the title, the price, the description, the picture, the voice introduction or the video of the product. The bid module may be coupled to the product page and configured to receive a bid. Moreover, the map information module may be configured to correlate the product page with a position on a map based on the first position information.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the status of the product shown on the product page will become reserved once the bid module receives the bid.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the product page is configured to couple with a communication module, wherein the communication module being configured to receive a question about the product.

6. The system of claim 1 further comprises:

a report module configured to receive a report indicating the location in connection with the product page is incorrect.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the report module is configured to count the number of reports,

wherein the report module will cause the management module to execute at least one of showing the product page is invalid, cancelling the product page or withdrawing the product page if the number of reports achieves or exceeds a limited number.

8. The system of claim 6, wherein the report module is configured to compare position information of a second computing device used to generate the report and the first position information related to the product page,

wherein the report is determined to be valid if the difference between the two position information is smaller or equal to a difference limitation.

9. The system of claim 1 further comprises:

a registration/login module configured to register position information related to an account when the account is registered,

the registration/login module being configured to compare position information received by the position module when the account tries to login the system with the registered position information, wherein the account is allowed to login if the difference between the two position information is smaller or equal to a difference limitation.

10. The system of claim 1 further comprises:

a registration/login module configured to register position information related to an account when the account is registered,

wherein the management module is configured to compare position information received by the position module when the management module receives the product information with the registered position information,

the product page is generated based on the product information if the difference between the two position information is smaller or equal to a difference limitation.

11. The system of claim 1 further comprises:

a communication module configured to receive a question about the product and an answer about the question; and

a registration/login module configured to register position information related to an account when the account is registered,

wherein the communication module is configured to compare position information received by the position module when communication module receives the answer about the question with the registered position information,

wherein the answer is determined to be valid if the difference between the two position information is smaller or equal to a difference limitation.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the position module is configured to receive updated position information after the first position information,

wherein the map information module couples the product page with a new location on the map corresponding to the updated position information when the position module receives the updated position information.

13. The system of claim 1 wherein the position module is configured to receive updated position information after the first position information,

wherein the management module executes at least one of showing the product page is invalid, cancelling the product page or withdrawing the product page when the difference between the updated position information and the first position information is larger than or equal to a difference limitation.

14. An LBS system comprises:

a position module configured to receive first position information and updated position information after the first position information;

a management module configured to receive product information, and generate a product page based on the product information; and

a map information module configured to couple the product page with a first location on a map corresponding to the first position information,

wherein the map information module couples the product page with a second location on the map corresponding to the updated position information when the position module receives the updated position information.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the management module executes at least one of showing the product page is invalid, cancelling the product page or withdrawing the product page when the difference between the updated position information and the first position information is larger than or equal to a difference limitation.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the product page is configured to couple with a communication module, wherein the communication module being configured to receive a question about the product.

17. The system of claim 14 further comprises:

a report module configured to receive a report indicating the location in connection with the product page is incorrect.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the report module is configured to count the number of reports,

wherein the report module will cause the management module to execute at least one of showing the product page is invalid, cancelling the product page or withdrawing the product page if the number of reports achieves or exceeds a limited number.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the report module is configured to compare position information of a second computing device used to generate the report and the first position information related to the product page,
