1. A discovery interactive method for use in a direct-mode communication system, the direct-mode communication system comprising a user direct-mode communication apparatus and a first serving direct-mode communication apparatus both connecting to an operating server, the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus further connecting to a second serving direct-mode communication apparatus, the second serving direct-mode communication apparatus having a second serving authenticated identification obtained through authenticating with the operating server, the discovery interactive method comprising the following steps of:

  • (a) authenticating, by the user direct-mode communication apparatus, with the operating server to obtain a user authenticated identification;

    (b) authenticating, by the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus, with the operating server to obtain a first serving authenticated identification;

    (c) broadcasting, by the user direct-mode communication apparatus, a discovery signal based on the user authenticated identification, wherein the discovery signal comprises a user identifier of the user direct-mode communication apparatus;

    (d1) determining, by the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus, that the user direct-mode communication apparatus is legal according to the user authenticated identification after the user direct-mode communication apparatus enters a first default serving range of the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus;

    (d2) receiving, by the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus, the discovery signal after step (d1); and

    (e) providing, by the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus, interactive information to the user direct-mode communication apparatus according to the discovery signal and based on the first serving authenticated identification;

    wherein the first serving direct-mode communication apparatus forwards the user identifier comprised in the discovery signal to the second serving direct-mode communication apparatus after step (d2) then the second serving direct-mode communication apparatus successively provides the interactive information to the user direct-mode communication apparatus according to the discovery signal comprising the user identifier and based on the second serving authenticated identification after the user direct-mode communication apparatus enters a second default serving range of the second serving direct-mode communication apparatus.
