Abstract

A method and a system for acquiring user contents are disclosed, which relates to the field of network communications. The method includes: a first terminal transmits a content acquisition request to a server, wherein the content acquisition request comprises at least one of geographic information and a user identification; the server searches a content information repository stored in the server for content information matching the content acquisition request and pushing the searched content information to the first terminal, wherein the content information repository is issued by a second terminal and stored in the server, and each piece of the content information comprises at least location information and a user identification of the second terminal. The system comprises: a first terminal and a server. The method and system as disclosed may be capable of providing a user with valuable user contents from a large amount of user contents in the network.

Claims

1. A method for acquiring user contents, comprising:

transmitting, by a first terminal, a content acquisition request to a server, wherein the content acquisition request comprises at least one of geographic information and a user identification; and

searching, by the server, a content information repository stored in the server for content information matching the content acquisition request and pushing the searched content information to the first terminal, wherein the content information repository is issued by a second terminal and stored in the server, and each piece of the content information comprises at least location information and a user identification of the second terminal.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising:

acquiring, by the server, location information of the second terminal according to latitude and longitude coordinates of the second terminal.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of searching, by the server, a content information repository stored in the server for content information matching the content acquisition request and pushing the searched content information to the first terminal comprises:

acquiring, by the server, the matched content information according to the at least one of the geographic information and the user identification, and pushing the matched content information to the first terminal.

4. The method according to claim 1, comprising:

when the content acquisition request comprises the geographic information, the geographic information is inputted by a user, or the geographic information is defaulted to a real geographic location of the first terminal.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein before the step of transmitting, by the first terminal, a content acquisition request to a server, the method further comprises:

acquiring, by the first terminal, latitude and longitude coordinates of a current location of a first user, and acquiring the geographic information of the first user according to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the current location of the first user.

6. A system for acquiring user contents, comprising a first terminal and a server;

the first terminal is configured to send a content acquisition request to the server, the content acquisition request comprises at least one of geographic information and a user identification; and

the server is configured to search a content information repository stored in the server for a content information matching the content acquisition request and pushing the searched content information to the first terminal, wherein the content information repository is issued by a second terminal and stored in the server, and each piece of the content information at least comprises location information and a user identification of the second terminal.

7. The system according to claim 6, wherein the server is configured to acquire location information of the second terminal according to latitude and longitude coordinates of the second terminal.

8. The system according to claim 6, wherein the server is configured to acquire the matched content information according to the at least one of the geographic information and the user identification, and pushing the matched content information to the first terminal.

9. The system according to claim 6, wherein when the content acquisition request comprises the geographic information, the geographic information is inputted by a user, or the geographic information is defaulted to a real geographic location of the first terminal.

10. The system according to claim 6, wherein

the first terminal is further configured to acquire latitude and longitude coordinates of a current location of a first user, and acquiring the geographic information of the first user according to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the current location of the first user.
