11. The method according to claim 10, wherein sending the download request to the cloud server comprises periodically sending the download request to the cloud server.

12. The method according to claim 10, wherein the download request indicates that the shared information includes information stored by a first user equipment onto the cloud server, and wherein receiving shared information comprises receiving the shared information of the first user equipment and location information corresponding to the shared information from the cloud server according to the download request.

13. The method according to claim 10, wherein the download request indicates that specified shared information needs to be acquired, and wherein receiving the shared information of the another user equipment and the location information corresponding to the shared information comprises receiving the specified shared information.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein receiving the specified shared information comprises:

receiving description information of shared information from the cloud server;

sending a request for acquiring specified shared information to the cloud server according to the description information; and

receiving the specified shared information and location information corresponding to the shared information from the cloud server.

15. The method according to claim 10, further comprising receiving a sharing notification message from the another user equipment, wherein the sharing notification message indicates that the another user equipment has stored the shared information onto the cloud server, and wherein the sharing notification message is received before sending a download request to the cloud server.

3. (canceled)

16. A method for implementing information sharing, comprising:

sending a cloud server at least one piece of shared information, at least one piece of location information corresponding to the shared information, and the at least one piece of indication information used to indicate at least one sharing object capable of acquiring the at least one piece of shared information,

wherein the location information includes coordinate information specifying a location for displaying the shared information on a display of a user equipment.

17. The method according to claim 16, further comprising:

sending a sharing notification message to a user equipment of the at least one sharing object indicated in the indication information,

wherein the sharing notification message is used to notify that the shared information has been stored on the cloud server.
