Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for prompting according to location-based information, which belong to the field of communication technology. The method includes: acquiring by a server designated location-based information matching with a designated device identifier in a location-based information database at least storing location-based information reported by a plurality of terminals after receiving a location-based information acquiring request sent by a designated terminal; sending by the server the designated location-based information to the designated terminal, in which the designated terminal is configured to perform a prompt according to the designated location-based information.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a location-based information acquiring request sent by a designated terminal, wherein the location-based information acquiring request at least comprises a designated device identifier;

acquiring designated location-based information in a location-based information database, wherein the designated location-based information relates to the designated device identifier, and wherein the location-based information database stores location-based information reported by a plurality of terminals; and

sending the designated location-based information to the designated terminal, wherein the designated terminal is configured to perform a prompt according to the designated location-based information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the location-based information acquiring request further comprises a user identifier of the designated terminal, and before acquiring the designated location-based information in the location-based information database, the method further comprises:

determining whether there is a binding relationship between the user identifier and the designated device identifier according to a stored binding relationship; and

performing an act of acquiring the designated location-based information in the location-based information database under an event that there is the binding relationship.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving location-based information reported by any one terminal; and

storing the location-based information received into the location-based information database.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the location-based information comprises a device identifier, location information of a terminal, and a time of reporting the location information.

5. An apparatus for prompting according to location-based information, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store an instruction executable by the processor;

wherein the processor is configured to;

receive a location-based information acquiring request sent by a designated terminal, wherein the location-based information acquiring request at least comprises a designated device identifier;

acquire designated location-based information in a location-based information database, wherein the designated location-based information relates to the designated device identifier and wherein the location-based information database stores location-based information reported by a plurality of terminals; and

send the designated location-based information to the designated terminal, wherein the designated terminal is configured to perform a prompt according to the designated location-based information.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the location-based information acquiring request further comprises a user identifier of the designated terminal, and the processor is further configured to:

determine whether there is a binding relationship between the user identifier and the designated device identifier according to a stored binding relationship; and

perform an act of acquiring the designated location-based information in the location-based information database under an event that there is the binding relationship.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the location-based information comprises a device identifier, location information of a terminal, and a time of reporting the location information.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, causes the device to perform a method for prompting according to location-based information, the method comprising:

receiving a location-based information acquiring request sent by a designated terminal, wherein the location-based information acquiring request at least comprises a designated device identifier;

acquiring designated location-based information in a location-based information database, wherein the designated location-based information relates to the designated device identifier and location-based information reported by a plurality of terminals is stored in the location-based information database at least; and

sending the designated location-based information to the designated terminal, wherein the designated terminal is configured to perform a prompt according to the designated location-based information.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 8, wherein the location-based information comprises a device identifier, location information of a terminal, and a time of reporting the location information.
