Abstract

A method, device, terminal, and system for providing services based on location information are provided. The method includes acquiring location information of a client; retrieving attribute information of a group of the client when the client is located within a group service region; and providing a group service according to the attribute information of the group of the client. The device includes an acquisition module configured to acquire location information of a client; a retrieval module configured to retrieve attribute information of a group of the client when the client is located within a group service region; and a service provision module configured to provide a group service according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

Claims

1. A method of providing services based on location information, comprising:

acquiring location information of a client;

retrieving attribute information of a group of the client when the client is located within a group service region; and

providing a group service according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

2. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 1, wherein providing the group service according to the attribute information of the group of the client comprises providing the group service corresponding to the group attribute information to a client according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

3. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 1, wherein providing the group service according to attribute information of the group of the client comprises providing the group service corresponding to the group attribute information to a target terminal corresponding to the client according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

4. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 3, wherein providing the group service corresponding to the group attribute information to a target terminal corresponding to the client comprises sending notification information to the target terminal when the client enters and/or leaves the group service region.

5. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 1, wherein providing the group service according to the attribute information of the group of the client comprises providing a service of information interaction between clients in the group when the client is located within the group service region.

6. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 1, further comprising ceasing to provide the group service to the client when the client leaves the group service region.

7. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 1, further comprising:

creating a group, and setting attribute information of the group, before acquiring location information; and

acquiring registration information for joining the group, before acquiring location information.

8. The method of providing services based on the location information according to claim 7, wherein setting attribute information of the group comprises at least one of the following:

setting cancellation rules of the group;

setting qualifications of clients in the group; and

setting service items in the group.

9. A device for providing services based on location information, comprising:

an acquisition module configured to acquire location information of a client;

a retrieval module configured to retrieve attribute information of a group of the client when the client is located within a group service region; and

a service provision module configured to provide a group service according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

10. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 9, wherein the service provision module is further configured to provide the group service corresponding to the group attribute information to the client according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

11. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 9, wherein the service provision module is further configured to provide the group service corresponding to the group attribute information to a target terminal corresponding to the client according to the attribute information of the group of the client.

12. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 11, wherein the service provision module is further configured to send notification information to the target terminal when the client enters and/or leaves the group service region.

13. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 11, wherein the service provision module is further configured to provide a service of information interaction between clients in the group when the client is located within the group service region.

14. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 9, wherein the service provision module is further configured to stop providing the group service to the client when the client leaves the group service region.

15. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 9, wherein the device further comprises a creating module and a setting module, wherein

the creating module is configured to create a group;

and

the setting module is configured to set attribution information of the group; and

wherein the acquisition module is further configured to acquire registration information for joining the group.

16. The device for providing services based on the location information according to claim 15, wherein setting the group information of the group comprises at least one of the following:

setting cancellation rules of the group;

setting qualifications of clients in the group; and

setting service items in the group.

17. A terminal device, comprising:

a sending module configured to send location information of a client to a device for providing services based on the location information; and

a receiving module, configured to receive group services provided by the device for providing services based on the location information according to attribution information of a group of the client;

wherein, when the client is located within a group service region, the device for providing services based on the location information retrieves the attribution information of the group of the client.

18. The terminal device according to claim 17, wherein the sending module is further configured to send registration information for joining the group to the device for providing services based on the location information.

19. The terminal device according to claim 17, wherein the terminal device further comprises:

a status switching module configured to switch a login state of the client in the group;

wherein the login state comprises at least two of an active state, an inactive state and an cloaked state.

20. The terminal device according to claim 17, wherein the sending module is further configured to send information to other clients in the group;

and the receiving module is further configured to receive information sent by the other clients in the group.

21. A location information based service provision system, comprising a client, a Location Based Service (LBS) server, a gateway and an LBS service provider, wherein the LBS server comprises a device for providing services based on location information, and the client comprises a terminal device.
