METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING LOCATION INFORMATION OF TARGET OBJECT, AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining location information of a target object, comprising:
- obtaining, by a first terminal, first location information of a target object, wherein the first location information is location information of a location at which the first terminal is located when a connection between the first terminal and the target object is disrupted;
selecting, by the first terminal, at least one second user from a user relationship chain of a first user according to a user selection instruction of the first user;
sending, by the first terminal, a search request to a second terminal respectively related to the at least one second user, wherein the search request carries an identifier of the target object and the first location information, and the search request is used to instruct the second terminal to search, according to the first location information, for the target object corresponding to the identifier of the target object; and
receiving, by the first terminal, second location information returned by at least one second terminal, and determining the second location information as location information of a location at which the target object is located, wherein the second location information is location information of a location at which the second terminal is located when a connection between the second terminal and the target object is established.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the field of short-distance wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and system for obtaining location information of a target object, and an apparatus. In a solution of obtaining location information of a target object in the solutions, at least one second user is selected from a user relationship chain of a first user, and the location information of the target object is obtained by using a second terminal related to the second user. In another solution of obtaining location information of a target object, the location information of the target object is obtained by using a second terminal whose distance to a location represented by first location information is less than or equal to a preset distance.

6. A method for obtaining location information of a target object, comprising:
-
receiving, by a second terminal, a search request, wherein the search request carries an identifier of a target object and first location information, and the first location information is location information of a location at which the first terminal is located when a connection between a first terminal and the target object is disrupted; sending, by the second terminal, a first broadcast message carrying the identifier of the target object when determining that a distance between a location at which the second terminal is located and the location represented by the first location information is less than or equal to a first threshold; requesting, by the second terminal, to establish a connection to the target object when detecting a second broadcast message sent by the target object; and returning, by the second terminal, second location information to the first terminal after the connection to the target object is established, wherein the second location information is location information of a location at which the second terminal is located when the connection between the second terminal and the target object is established. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A first terminal, comprising:
-
a memory comprising instructions; a processor communication with the memory wherein the processor executes the instructions to; obtain first location information of a target object, wherein the first location information is location information of a location at which the first terminal is located when a connection between the first terminal and the target object is disrupted; select at least one second user from a user relationship chain of a first user according to a user selection instruction of the first user; a transmitter, configured to send a search request to a second terminal respectively related to the at least one second user, wherein the search request carries an identifier of the target object and the first location information, and the search request is used to instruct the second terminal to search, according to the first location information, for the target object corresponding to the identifier of the target object; and a receiver, configured to receive second location information returned by at least one second terminal, and determining the second location information as location information of a location at which the target object is located, wherein the second location information is location information of a location at which the second terminal is located when a connection between the second terminal and the target object is established. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

16. A second terminal, comprising:
-
a receiver, configured to receive a search request, wherein the search request carries an identifier of a target object and first location information, and the first location information is location information of a location at which the first terminal is located when a connection between a first terminal and the target object is disrupted; a transmitter, configured to; send a first broadcast message carrying the identifier of the target object when it is determined that a distance between a location at which the second terminal is located and the location represented by the first location information is less than or equal to a first threshold; request to establish a connection to the target object when detecting a second broadcast message sent by the target object; and return second location information to the first terminal after the connection to the target object is established, wherein the second location information is location information of a location at which the second terminal is located when the connection between the second terminal and the target object is established. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
