Abstract

The disclosure discloses a method and a system for reporting location information of mobile terminal. The method includes that: a service server sends page information to a connected mobile terminal, wherein the page information contains a label indicating reporting of location information is required; and after parsing out from the received page information the label indicating reporting of location information is required, the mobile terminal acquires the location information of the mobile terminal, and reports the obtained location information to the service server. With the present disclosure, reporting of the location information of a mobile terminal and the Location Based Service are implemented independent of the JavaScript.

Claims

1. A method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal, comprising:

sending, by a service server, page information to a mobile terminal connected with the service server, wherein the page information contains a label indicating reporting of location information is required; and

receiving, by the service server, the location information reported by the mobile terminal, wherein the location information is the location information of the mobile terminal itself obtained after the mobile terminal parses out the label from the received page information.

2. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the label contains a Universal Resource Locator (URL) for reporting the location information, to instruct the mobile terminal to report the obtained location information to the designated URL in the label.

3. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the label contains a threshold indicating re-reporting of the location information is required when the change of the location exceeds the threshold, to instruct the mobile terminal to report the location information of the mobile terminal again to the service server when the mobile terminal detects that the location change of the mobile terminal exceeds the threshold.

4. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the location information is encoded by the mobile terminal into an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file and the XML file is reported to the service server.

5. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the location information is at least one of

Global Positioning System (GPS) information, base station information, and wireless fidelity (WIFI) Internet Protocol (IP) address information.

18. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein the location information is encoded by the mobile terminal into an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file and the XML file is reported to the service server.

19. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein the location information is at least one of

Global Positioning System (GPS) information, base station information, and wireless fidelity (WIFI) Internet Protocol (IP) address information.

6. A method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal, comprising:

receiving, by a mobile terminal, page information sent by a service server, wherein the page information contains a label indicating reporting of location information is required; and

after the mobile terminal parses out from the received page information the label indicating reporting of location information is required, acquiring, by the mobile terminal, the location information of the mobile terminal, and reporting, by the mobile terminal, the obtained location information to the service server.

7. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 6, wherein the label contains a Universal Resource Locator (URL) for reporting the location information, and wherein the obtained location information is sent by the mobile terminal to the designated URL in the label.

8. The method for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 6, wherein the label contains a threshold indicating re-reporting of the location information is required when the change of the location exceeds the threshold, and

the location information of the mobile terminal is reported by the mobile terminal again to the service server when the mobile terminal detects that the location change of the mobile terminal exceeds the threshold.

9. A system for reporting location information of a mobile terminal, comprising a mobile terminal and a service server, wherein

the service server is configured to send page information to the mobile terminal connected with the service server, wherein the page information contains a label indicating reporting of location information is required;

and

the mobile terminal is configured to, after parsing out from the received page information the label indicating reporting of location information is required, acquire the location information of the mobile terminal, and report the obtained location information to the service server.

10. The system for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 9, wherein the mobile terminal is further configured to encode the obtained location information into an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file, and report the XML file to the service server.

11. The system for reporting location information of a mobile terminal according to claim 9, wherein the location information is at least one of

Global Positioning System (GPS) information, base station information, and wireless fidelity (WIFI) Internet Protocol (IP) address information.

12. A service server, comprising:

a page information sending module configured to send page information to a mobile terminal connected with the service server, wherein the page information contains a label indicating reporting of location information is required; and

a location information receiving module configured to receive the location information reported by the mobile terminal, wherein the location information is the location information of the mobile terminal itself obtained after the mobile terminal parses out the label from the received page information.

13. The service server according to claim 12, wherein the label contains a Universal Resource Locator (URL) for reporting the location information, and

wherein the page information sending module is further configured to request the mobile terminal to report the obtained location information to the designated URL in the label.

14. The service server according to claim 12, wherein the label contains a threshold indicating re-reporting of the location information is required when the change of the location exceeds the threshold, and

the page information sending module is further configured to request the mobile terminal to report the location information of the mobile terminal again to the service server when the mobile terminal detects that the location change of the mobile terminal exceeds the threshold.

15. A mobile terminal, comprising:

a page information receiving module, configured to receive page information sent by a service server, wherein the page information contains a label indicating reporting of location information is required; and

a location information reporting module, configured to, after parsing out from the received page information the label indicating reporting of location information is required, acquire the location information of the mobile terminal, and report the obtained location information to the service server.

16. The mobile terminal according to claim 15, wherein the label contains a Universal Resource Locator (URL) for reporting the location information, and

wherein the location information reporting module is further configured to report the obtained location information to the designated URL in the label.

17. The mobile terminal according to claim 15, wherein the label contains a threshold indicating re-reporting of the location information is required when the change of the location exceeds the threshold, and

wherein the location information reporting module is further configured to report the location information of the mobile terminal again to the service server when detecting that the location change of the mobile terminal exceeds the threshold.
