Embodiment 2

As shown in Fig. 2, the présent disclosure provides a method for publishing user contents, comprising:

Step 201: a second terminal acquires a user identification of a second user and latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user.

In particular, the second terminal may acquire the second user's user identification stored in advance in the second terminal, or receive the second user’s user identification directly inputted by the second user; the second terminal locates the second user's current location so as to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location.

When the second terminal is turned on, it is necessary for the second terminal to acquire the second user's user identification and the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location; when the second user turns on the second terminal for the first time, the second user needs to input the second user's user identification in the second terminal, and the second terminal receives and stores the second user’s user identification. Thereafter, in the further, each time the second user turns on the second terminal, the second terminal can directly acquire the second user's user identification stored therein. Alternatively, each time the second user turns on the second terminal, the second user may directly input the second user's own user identification in the second terminal, thus the second user's user identification inputted by the second user may be received directly by the second terminal.

The second terminal may comprise a GPS (Global Positioning System) module, which may locale the second user's curent location by the GPS module, so as to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location. Alternatively, the second terminal may locate the second user's current location by using a network positioning method, so as to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user’s current location.

For example, the second user's user identification is stored as User ID1 in the second terminal in advance. Therefore, when the second user turns on the second terminal, the second terminal may acquire the stored second user's user identification User ID1 directly, and locate the second user's current location by the included GPS module to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates (x1, y1 ) of the second user's current location.

Step 202: the second terminal acquires the second user's current géographie information according to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location.

In particular, the second terminal détermines a point-centered predetermined area, wherein the point corresponds to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location, acquires one or more pièces of géographie information included in the predetermined area from the internet, and constructs an information list. The information list comprises the acquired géographie information, and the information list is displayed to the second user, such that the second user may select the second user’s current géographie information from the information list.

The step that the second terminal détermines a point-centered predetermined area comprises: acquiring a point-centered circular area having a radius of a predetermined length by taking the point as the center of the circle, wherein the point corresponds to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location.

The géographie locations included in the area can be places such as markets, shops, streets or the like, and the géographie information included in the area can be names of the markets, names of the shops and/or street numbers or the like.

For example, a terminal acquires an circular area Areal by taking a point as the center of the circle, wherein the point corresponds to the latitude and longitude coordinates (x1, y2) of the second user's current location, and ail the géographie locations included in the Areal are three markets named Marketl, Market2 and Market3, respectively, two shops named Shopl and Shop2, respectively, and a park named Park. The terminal acquires the géographie information included in the area from the internet, i.e. Marketl, Market2, Market3, Shopl, Shop2 and Park, respectively, and constructs an information list as illustrated in Table 1 and displays the information list to the second user. If the second user's curent géographie location is in a market named Market3, then the second user selects Market3 from the information list illustrated in Table 1 displayed on the second terminal as the current géographie information, and submit the market named Market3 to the second terminal, and then the second terminal acquires the market named Market3 as the géographie information selected by the second user.

Table 1

At présent, there are websites providing location services on the internet, such as Baidu Map and Google Map, thus the terminal may search out ail the géographie information within the determined area from the websites providing location services.

Step 203: when the second user wishes to publish user contents, the second terminal receives the second user's user contents required to be published.

The second terminal may display an input interface to the second user. The second user may input the user contents required to be published into this input interface, and then submit the user contents required to be published to the second terminal, the second terminal receives the second user's user contents required to be published submitted by the second user.

For example, if the second user wishes to publish user contents, the second terminal displays an input interface to the second user; the second user inputs the user contents required to be published ContextA into the displayed input interface on the second terminal, and then submits the user contents required to be published ContextA to the second terminal, the second terminal receives the second user's user contents required to be published ContextA.

Step 204: the second terminal stores the second user's user identification, the second user’s current géographie information and the second user's user contents required to be published in a content information repository of the server, so as to realize the publication of the second user’s user contents required to be published.

The content information repository of the server comprises corresponding relations among the user identification, the géographie information and the user contents.

In partîcular, the terminal transmits a publish request message to the server, wherein the publish request message comprises the second user's user identification, the second user's géographie information and the second user's user contents to be published. The server receives the publish request message, and stores the corresponding relations among the second user’s user identification, the second user’s géographie information and the second user’s user content required to be published included in the publish request message in the content information repository, so as to realize the publication of the second user's user contents required to be published.

In an embodiment of the présent disclosure, the second terminal may transmit a publish request message to the server, wherein the publish request message comprises the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location, the second user's user identification and the second user's user contents required to be published. According to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the second user's current location, the server acquires the second user's géographie information, and stores the corresponding relations among the second user’s user identification, the second user's géographie information and the second user's user contents required to be published in the content information repository, so as to realize the publication of the second user's user contents required to be published.

For example, the second terminal transmits a publish request message to the server, wherein the publish request message comprises the second user’s user identification User ID1, the second user’s géographie information Market3 and the second user’s user contents to be published ContextA. The server receives the publish request message, and stores the publish request message comprising the second user's user identification User ID1, the second user's géographie information Market3 and the second user's user contents to be published ContextA in the content information repository illustrated in Table 2, so as to realize the publication of the second user's user contents required to be published ContextA.

In the embodiment, the second terminal acquîtes the second user's user identification and the second user's current géographie information, and when the second user wishes to publish user contents, the second terminal receives the second user's user contents required to be published submitted by the second user. The second terminal stores the second user's user identification, the second user's current géographie information and the second user's user contents required to be published in the content information repository of the server, so as to realize the publication of the second user's user contents required to be published. Therefore, when another user, herein a first user, intends to acquire user contents, the first user can acquire relatively valuable user contents according to the user identification and/or the user’s géographie information.

In the embodiment of the présent disclosure, the second user may directly input the second user’s current géographie information in the second terminal.

Step 205: when the first user requires to acquire user contents, the first terminal acquires the second user's user identification, wherein the second user is the user who publishes the user contents,

The first user stores user identifications of one or more second users in a user list of the first terminal in advance. In particular, the first terminal acquires the second user's user identification stored in the user list, or the first terminal acquires user identifications of one or more second users selected by the first user from the user list contained therein.

The first terminal may display the user list contained therein to the first user, the first user may select identifications of one or more second users from the user list displayed on the first terminal, and submit the selected identifications of one or more second users to the first terminal. The first terminal receives the identifications of the one or more second users selected by the first user, so as to acquire the identifications of the one or more second users selected from the user list contained in the first terminal by the first user.

The first user stores the user list in the first terminal in advance, and one example of the user list is illustrated in Table 3 below. When the first user turns on the first terminal and wishes to acquire user contents, the first terminal may acquire identifications of the second users from the user list illustrated in Table 3, wherein the acquired user identifications of the second users are User ID1 and User ID2.

Step 206: the first terminal acquires the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first user’s current location.

In particular, the first terminal locates the first user’s current location to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates ofthe first user’s current location.

The first terminal may comprises a GPS module, and may accordingly locate the first user’s current location by the GPS module included therein, so as to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first user’s current location. Alternatively, the first terminal locates the first user’s current location with network positioning method, so as to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first user’s current location.

For example, the first terminal locates the first user’s current location by the GPS module included therein, so as to acquire the latitude and longitude coordinates (x2, y2) of the first user’s current location.

Step 207: the first terminal acquires the first user’s current géographie information according to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first user’s current location.

In particular, the first terminal détermines a point-centered predetermined area, wherein the point corresponds to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first user’s current location, acquires one or more géographie information included in the predetermined area from the internet, and constructs an information list comprising the acquired géographie information. The first terminal displays the information list to the first user, and acquires the first user’s current géographie information selected from the information list by the first user.

The step that the first terminal détermines a point-centered predetermined area comprises : acquiring a point-centered circular area having a radius of a predetermined length by taking a point as the center of the circle, wherein the point corresponds to the latitude and longitude coordinates of the first user’s current location.

The géographie locations included in the area can be places such as markets, shops, streets or the like, and the géographie information included in the area can be names of the markets, names of the shops and/or street numbers or the like.

For example, the first terminal acquires a circular area Area2 by taking a point as the center of the circle, wherein the point corresponds to the first user’s current latitude and longitude coordinates (x2, y2), and ail of the géographie locations included in Area2 are four markets named Marketl, Market2, Market3 and Market4, and a street numbered Numberl, respectively. The first terminal acquires géographie information included in the area from the internet, which are Marketl, Market2, Market3, Market3 and Numberl, respectively, constructs an information list as illustrated in Table 4, and displays the information list to the first user. If the first user's current géographie location is in a market named Market3, the first user selects Market3 from the information list illustrated in Table 4 displayed on the first terminal as the current géographie information, and submit the market named Market3 to the first terminal, then the market named Market3 is acquired by the first terminal as the géographie information selected by the first user.
