Abstract

A search request transmitted by a first mobile terminal may be received. The search request may carry location information of the first mobile terminal, when the first mobile terminal transmits the search request. A corresponding grid number may be obtained, based on the location information. The grid number is configured to identify a preset longitude and latitude range of the earth sphere. Information searching for may be obtained based on the grid number. Information searched out may be transmitted to the first mobile terminal.

3. The computer-implemented method according to claim 2, wherein obtaining the corresponding grid number based on the location information, under circumstances that the location information comprises the longitude and latitude located by the first mobile terminal, when the first mobile terminal transmits the search request, comprises:

obtaining the grid number corresponding to the longitude and latitude located by the first mobile terminal, when the first mobile terminal transmits the search request, based on a preset longitude and latitude range of the earth sphere identified by each grid number, wherein the longitude and latitude located by the first mobile terminal, when the first mobile terminal transmits the search request, is comprised in the preset longitude and latitude range identified by the grid number.

4. The computer-implemented method according to claim 1, wherein obtaining the all microblogs searching for based on the grid number comprises:

obtaining the nearest adjacent grid number of a second grid, which is nearest adjacent to a first grid identified by the grid number; and

obtaining a second microblog corresponding to the nearest adjacent grid number, based on a corresponding relationship between the grid number and the microblog ID, and based on the nearest adjacent grid number.

5. The computer-implemented method according to claim 4, further comprising:

before receiving the search request transmitted by the first mobile terminal, receiving the second microblog transmitted by a third mobile terminal, wherein the second microblog carries second location information, the second location information comprises the grid number, or a longitude and a latitude located by the third mobile terminal, when the third mobile terminal transmits the second microblog;

the longitude and latitude located by the third mobile terminal, when the third mobile terminal transmits the second microblog, is comprised in the preset longitude and latitude range identified by the grid number; and

establishing a corresponding relationship between the nearest adjacent grid number and the microblog ID of the second microblog.

6. The computer-implemented method according to claim 1, further comprising:

before receiving the search request transmitted by the first mobile terminal, projecting the earth sphere onto a plane of L1*L2, based on equatorial circumference L1, as well as spherical distance L2 of south and north poles;

dividing the plane of L1*L2 into multiple grids equally based on a preset distance unit, wherein a grid ID of the multiple grids corresponds to a preset longitude and latitude range of the earth sphere; and

numbering the multiple grids successively, and obtaining multiple grid numbers.

7. A server device, comprising a memory, a processor in communication with the memory, and an interface, wherein the memory stores a receiving instruction, a first obtaining instruction, a second obtaining instruction, a transmitting instruction, and an establishing instruction which are executable by the processor,

the receiving instruction indicates to receive a search request transmitted by a first mobile terminal via the interface, wherein the search request includes location information of the first mobile terminal, when the first mobile terminal transmits the search request;

the first obtaining instruction indicates to obtain a corresponding grid number based on the location information, wherein the grid number is configured to identify a preset longitude and latitude range of the earth sphere;

the second obtaining instruction indicates to obtain all microblogs searching for based on the grid number, wherein the all microblogs are published in the preset longitude and latitude range of the earth sphere identified by the grid number;
