Abstract

A method for feeding back location and weather information by a mobile communication terminal is disclosed, including: obtaining location and weather information of a local machine; sending the obtained location and weather information to a feedback terminal which is preset in the local machine and requires for feedback of the location and weather information of the local machine. Both the local machine and the feedback terminal may be mobile communication terminals. Through the method, the location and weather information of the local machine can be fed back to the feedback terminal.

Claims

1. A method for feeding back location and weather information by a mobile communication terminal, comprising the following steps of:

obtaining the location and weather information of a local machine;

sending the obtained location and weather information to a feedback terminal preset in the local machine and requiring for feedback of the location and weather information of the local machine; and

both the local machine and the feedback terminal being mobile communication terminals;

wherein, obtaining the location and weather information of a local machine comprises;

the local machine, according to a received feedback request, obtaining a number of a mobile communication terminal of an opposite end sending the request;

judging whether the number is a number of the feedback terminal;

if yes, then receiving a Global Positioning System GPS satellite signal, and obtaining the location information of the local machine according to the GPS satellite signal; and

sending the location information to a mobile operator, and obtaining the weather information of a current location.

2. The method according to claim 1, before the step of receiving a GPS satellite signal and obtaining the location information of the local machine according to the GPS satellite signal, further comprising:

when the local machine does not start a GPS function and a weather forecast function, then starting the GPS function and the weather forecast function by force.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein, the step of obtaining the location and weather information of the local machine comprises:

the local machine checking whether the location information changes;

if the location information changes, then sending new location information to the mobile operator, and obtaining the weather information of a new location.

4. The method according to claim 1, after performing obtaining the location and weather information of the local machine, further comprising:

when the obtained weather information exceeds a preset threshold value, then sending out warning information.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein, the threshold value comprises:

one or more of a low temperature threshold value, a high temperature threshold value, a strong wind threshold value, a low visibility threshold value and a strong ultraviolet threshold value.

11. The method according to claim 1, after performing obtaining the location and weather information of the local machine, further comprising:

when the obtained weather information exceeds a preset threshold value, then sending out warning information.

6. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a setting module, configured to preset a feedback terminal requiring for feedback of location and weather information of the mobile communication terminal;

a calling module, configured to obtain the location and weather information of the mobile communication terminal;

the calling module is configured to;

according to a received feedback request, obtain a number of a mobile communication terminal of an opposite end sending the request;

judge whether the number is the number of the feedback terminal;

if yes, then receive a Global Positioning System GPS satellite signal, and obtain the location information of the mobile communication terminal according to the GPS satellite signal; and

send the location information to a mobile operator, and obtain the weather information of a current location; and

a sending module, configured to send the obtained location and weather information to the feedback terminal preset by the setting module.

7. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 6, wherein, the calling module is further configured to:

when the mobile communication terminal does not start a GPS function and a weather forecast function, start the GPS function and the weather forecast function by force.

8. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 6, wherein, the calling module is configured to:

check whether the location information changes;

if the location information changes, then send new location information to a mobile operator, and obtain the weather information of a new location.

9. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 6, further comprising:

an alarm module, configured to, when the obtained weather information exceeds a preset threshold value, then send out warning information.

10. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 9, wherein, the threshold value comprises:

one or more of a low temperature threshold value, a high temperature threshold value, a strong wind threshold value, a low visibility threshold value and a strong ultraviolet threshold value.

12. The mobile communication terminal according to claim 6, further comprising:

an alarm module, configured to, when the obtained weather information exceeds a preset threshold value, then send out warning information.
