Abstract

A cloud-based route planning system and a method thereof are provided. A server provides a route plan message, continuously receives a positioning message of a first client, and displays the route plan message and the positioning message on the first client. After a second client logs in to the server, the server sets a right for the second client according to a user state of the second client and allows the second client to select and download a route plan message. When the user state is browsing, the server displays on the second client both the positioning message of the first client and the route plan message downloaded by the second client, and when the user state is feedback, the second client is allowed to upload a feedback message to modify the route plan message.

Claims

1. A cloud-based route planning system, applied to a server, the server being allowed to perform transmission with a plurality of clients over a network, the system comprising:

a storage module, used for storing at least one route plan message in advance, wherein the route plan message comprises a map message and a route path;

a receiving module, used for receiving a positioning message from a first client and displaying the map message and the route path on the first client;

an identification module, used for, when a second client requests to log in, verifying the second client, and after the verification succeeds, allowing the second client to log in to the server and setting a right for the second client according to a user state of the second client;

a transmission module, used for, after the second client successfully logs in, allowing the second client to select and download one route plan message for displaying on the second client; and

a processing module, used for, when the user state is browsing, displaying on the second client the positioning message of the first client, and when the user state is feedback, allowing the second client to upload a feedback message to modify the map message and the route path or either of the map message and the route path.

2. The cloud-based route planning system according to claim 1, wherein the map message and the feedback message comprise an image, a video and a text or at least one thereof.

3. The cloud-based route planning system according to claim 1, wherein the user state is preset as browsing or feedback when the second client logs in to the server.

4. The cloud-based route planning system according to claim 1, wherein the positioning message is generated through a global positioning system or by keying in an electrical coordinate.

5. The cloud-based route planning system according to claim 1, wherein the map message comprises a plurality of sub-map messages, and when the route plan message is displayed, a part of the sub-map messages are selected and loaded according to the position of the positioning message.

6. A cloud-based route planning method, applied to a server, the server being allowed to perform transmission with a plurality of clients over a network, the method comprising the steps of:

providing the server with at least one route plan message in advance, wherein the route plan message comprises a map message and a route path;

receiving, by the server, a positioning message from a first client and displaying the map message and the route path on the first client;

after a second client logs in to the server, setting, by the server, a right for the second client according to a user state of the second client;

allowing, by the server, the second client to select and download one route plan message for displaying; and

when the user state is browsing, displaying, by the server, on the second client the positioning message of the first client, and when the user state is feedback, allowing the second client to upload a feedback message to modify the map message and the route path or either of the map message and the route path.

7. The cloud-based route planning method according to claim 6, wherein the map message and the feedback message comprise an image, a video, and a text or at least one thereof.

8. The cloud-based route planning method according to claim 6, wherein the user state is preset as browsing or feedback when the second client logs in to the server.

9. The cloud-based route planning method according to claim 6, wherein the positioning message is generated through a global positioning system or by keying in an electrical coordinate.

10. The cloud-based route planning method according to claim 6, wherein the map message comprises a plurality of sub-map messages, and when the route plan message is displayed, a part of the sub-map messages are selected and loaded according to the position of the positioning message.
