Electronic device and method for searching the same
A searching method for an electronic device includes presetting a condition for a second electronic device to act as a searching terminal for searching the electronic device. An authentication password is preset at the electronic device. A request for the authentication password is sent to the second electronic device upon determining that the second electronic device meets the condition. Once a password from the second electronic device matches the authentication password, coordinates corresponding to a current location of the electronic device are sent to the second electronic device.

an identification code of the second electronic device being the same as a preset identification code; and
the electronic device not answering a call from the second electronic device for a preset number of times in a preset time period.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset identification code is a user name of the second electronic device for logging into a predetermined application.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the second electronic device receives the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device, the second electronic device invokes a predetermined electronic map and indicates the current location of the electronic device on the predetermined electronic map, according to the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device.
4. An electronic device comprising:
at least one processor;
a storage device being configured to store one or more programs that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
preset, at the electronic device, a condition for a second electronic device to act as a searching terminal for searching the electronic device;
preset, at the electronic device, an authentication password;
send, at the electronic device, a request for the authentication password to the second electronic device, upon determining that the second electronic device meets the condition;
receive, at the electronic device, a password from the second electronic device;
obtain, at the electronic device, coordinates corresponding to a current location of the electronic device upon determining that the received password matches the authentication password; and
send, at the electronic device, the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device to the second electronic device;
wherein the condition comprises:
an identification code of the second electronic device being the same as a preset identification code; and
the electronic device not answering a call from the second electronic device for a preset number of times in a preset time period.
5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the preset identification code is a user name of the second electronic device for logging into a predetermined application.
6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein when the second electronic device receives the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device, the second electronic device invokes a predetermined electronic map and indicates the current location of the electronic device on the predetermined electronic map, according to the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device.
7. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to perform a searching method, wherein the method comprises:
presetting, at the electronic device, a condition for a second electronic device to act as a searching terminal for searching the electronic device;
presetting, at the electronic device, an authentication password;
sending, at the electronic device, a request for the authentication password to the second electronic device, upon determining that the second electronic device meets the condition;
receiving, at the electronic device, a password from the second electronic device;
obtaining, at the electronic device, coordinates corresponding to a current location of the electronic device upon determining that the received password matches the authentication password; and
sending, at the electronic device, the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device to the second electronic device;
wherein the condition comprises:
an identification code of the second electronic device being the same as a preset identification code; and
the electronic device not answering a call from the second electronic device for a preset number of times in a preset time period.
8. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the preset identification code is a user name of the second electronic device for logging into a predetermined application.
9. The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein when the second electronic device receives the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device, the second electronic device invokes a predetermined electronic map and indicates the current location of the electronic device on the predetermined electronic map, according to the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device.
10. A searching method for an electronic device, the method comprising:
presetting, at the electronic device, a condition for a second electronic device to act as a searching terminal for searching the electronic device;
obtaining, at the electronic device, coordinates corresponding to a current location of the electronic device; and
sending, at the electronic device, the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device to the second electronic device when the electronic device meets the condition;
wherein the condition comprises:
an identification code of the second electronic device being the same as a preset identification code; and
the electronic device not answering a call from the second electronic device for a preset number of times in a preset time period.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the preset identification code is a user name of the second electronic device for logging into a predetermined application.
12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein when the second electronic device receives the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device, the second electronic device invokes a predetermined electronic map and indicates the current location of the electronic device on the predetermined electronic map, according to the coordinates corresponding to the current location of the electronic device.
