Systems, devices, and methods for sharing geographic location
First Claim
1. A system comprising a processor, the processor configured to:
- display, on a local terminal, a map interface including a graphic indicator, the graphic indicator corresponding to a remote geographic location of a first remote terminal;
receive a selection signal directed at the graphic indicator to track the first remote terminal;
in response to the selection signal;
repeatedly receive a geographic location information update corresponding to the first remote terminal, the geographic location information update including an updated geographic location of the first remote terminal,update, in response to receipt of the geographic location information update, a first travel route indicative of a path between the updated geographic location of the first remote terminal and a target geographic location, anddisplay the first travel route on the map interface in real time;
receive a geographic location of a second remote terminal; and
display a second travel route, the second travel route indicative of a traveling path between the target geographic location and the geographic location corresponding to the second remote terminal.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides system and methods for a sharing geographic location. A local terminal may be configured to display a map interface including a graphic indicator. The graphic indicator may correspond to a remote geographic location of a remote terminal. The local terminal may be further configured to receive a selection signal directed at the graphic indicator to track the remote terminal. In response to the signal, the local terminal may repeatedly receive a geographic location information update corresponding to the remote terminal. The geographic location information update may include an updated geographic location of the remote terminal. In addition, the local terminal may update a travel route indicative of a path between the updated geographic location of the remote terminal and a target geographic location. The terminal may display the travel route on the map interface in real time.

7. A method, comprising:
-
displaying, by a local terminal having a processor, a graphic indicator corresponding to a remote geographic location of a first remote terminal; receiving a selection signal directed at the graphic indicator to track the first remote terminal; receiving, in response to the selection signal, a geographic location information update corresponding to the first remote terminal, the geographic location information update including an updated geographic location of the first remote terminal; determining, in response to receipt of the geographic location information update, a first travel route indicative of a path between the updated geographic location of the first remote terminal and a target geographic location; displaying the first travel route on a map interface; receiving a geographic location of a second remote terminal; and display a second travel route, the second travel route indicative of a traveling path between the target geographic location and the geographic location corresponding to the second remote terminal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor, the instructions comprising:
-
instructions executable by the processor to log on to a server in communication with a plurality of remote terminals; instructions executable by the processor to display, on a map interface of an instant communication social networking application, graphical indicators corresponding to respective geographic locations of the remote terminals; instructions executable by the processor to display respective travel routes for the remote terminals; instructions executable by the processor to receive a tracking instruction from the map interface of the instant communication social networking application to track at least one of the remote terminals; instructions executable by the processor to receive, in response to the tracking instruction, a geographic location information update corresponding to at least one of the remote terminals, the geographic location information update including an updated geographic location of the at least one of the remote terminals; instructions executable by the processor to generate, in response to receipt of the geographic location information update, an updated travel route, the updated travel route indicative of a path between the updated geographic location of the at least one of the remote terminals and a target geographic location; and instructions executable by the processor to display the updated travel route on the map interface. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
