Method and apparatus for reminding user based on set position by using mobile terminal
View Patent ↗The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for reminding a user based on a set position by using a mobile terminal. The method mainly includes detecting, by a mobile terminal of a user by using a wireless network, that a distance between the mobile terminal and a set position is greater than a set value and reminding, by the mobile terminal, the user of a set event according to a set reminding manner. The present disclosure can make full use of a wireless local area network (WLAN) function or a wireless communication function of a mobile terminal to determine, without any additional hardware, a position of a user by using a WLAN or a positioning system, thereby implementing a function of reminding the user.
1. A method for reminding a user based on a set position by using a mobile terminal, comprising:
detecting, by a mobile terminal of a user, that a distance between the mobile terminal and a set position is greater than a set distance value by using a wireless network; and
reminding, by the mobile terminal, the user of a set event according to a set reminding manner.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the detecting, by a mobile terminal of a user by using a wireless network, that a distance between the mobile terminal and a set position is greater than a set distance value comprises determining that the distance between the mobile terminal and the set position is greater than the set distance value after the mobile terminal of the user has detected by using the wireless local area network that the mobile terminal is disconnected from a wireless router at the set position.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the detecting, by a mobile terminal of a user by using a wireless network, that a distance between the mobile terminal and a set position is greater than a set distance value comprises connecting, by the mobile terminal of the user, to a positioning system by using a wireless communication network, acquiring a geographical position of the mobile terminal from the positioning system, and when a distance between the geographical position of the mobile terminal and a geographical position of the set position is greater than a set distance, determining that the distance between the mobile terminal and the set position is greater than the set distance value.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the positioning system comprises a Global Positioning System (GPS).
5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the positioning system comprises a BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.
6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the positioning system comprises a base station of the mobile terminal.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reminding, by the mobile terminal, the user of a set event according to a set reminding manner comprises ringing or vibrating, by the mobile terminal, and reminding the user of the set event on a display screen of the mobile terminal.
8. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a position detecting module configured to detect by using a wireless network that a distance between the mobile terminal and a set position is greater than a set distance value; and
a reminding processing module, configured to remind a user of the mobile terminal of a set event according to a set reminding manner.
9. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the position detecting module is further configured to, after it is detected by using a wireless local area network that the mobile terminal is disconnected from a wireless router at the set position, determine that the distance between the mobile terminal and the set position is greater than the set distance value.
10. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the position detecting module is further configured to connect to a positioning system by using a wireless communication network, acquire a geographical position of the mobile terminal from the positioning system, and when a distance between the geographical position of the mobile terminal and a geographical position of the set position is greater than a set distance, determine that the distance between the mobile terminal and the set position is greater than the set distance value.
11. The mobile terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the positioning system comprises a Global Positioning System (GPS).
12. The mobile terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the positioning system comprises a BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.
13. The mobile terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the positioning system comprises a base station of the mobile terminal.
14. The mobile terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the reminding processing module is further configured to perform a ringing or vibrating operation, and remind the user of the set event on a display screen of the mobile terminal.
