Mobile devices and related methods for configuring a remote device
A method for configuring a remote device in a mobile device is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a dialogical user interface, obtaining a first position of the remote device, displaying a question message including information of the first position via the dialogical user interface, receiving an answer message corresponding to the question message via the dialogical user interface, and determining whether to set the first position as a safe zone for the remote device in response to whether the answer message is a confirmation message or a rejection message, wherein when the answer message is the conformation message, setting the first position as the safe zone of the remote device and displaying the setting result via the dialogical user interface.
1. A method for configuring a remote device in a mobile device, comprising:
providing a dialogical user interface;
obtaining a first position of the remote device;
displaying a question message including information of the first position via the dialogical user interface;
receiving an answer message corresponding to the question message via the dialogical user interface; and
determining whether to set the first position as a safe zone for the remote device in response to whether the answer message is a confirmation message or a rejection message,
wherein when the answer message is the conformation message, setting the first position as the safe zone of the remote device and displaying the setting result via the dialogical user interface.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a query message including information of a query item via the dialogical user interface;
obtaining a queried result of the query item from the remote device in response to the query message; and
displaying a message including information of the queried result via the dialogical user interface.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the querying message comprises message for querying sensor data of a specific sensor of the remote device.
4. The method of claim 3 , the specific sensor is a GPS sensor, a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
regularly obtaining position information of the remote device from the remote device and displaying a message including the position information of the remote device via the dialogical user interface.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
transmitting the message including the position information of the remote device to a predefined group of users.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first position of the remote device is automatically determined by a server using historical data stored thereon.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a notification message indicating that the position of the remote device is not within the set safe zone via the dialogical user interface when the position of the remote device is not within the set safe zone.
9. A mobile device, comprising:
a storage device;
a display device; and
a processor coupled to the storage device and the display device, providing a dialogical user interface on the display device, obtaining a first position of the remote device, displaying a question message including information of the first position via the dialogical user interface, receiving an answer message corresponding to the question message via the dialogical user interface, and determining whether to set the first position as a safe zone for the remote device in response to whether the answer message is a confirmation message or a rejection message,
wherein when the answer message is the conformation message, the processor sets the first position as the safe zone of the remote device and displays the setting result via the dialogical user interface.
10. The mobile device of claim 9 , whether the processor further receives a query message including information of a query item via the dialogical user interface, obtains a queried result of the query item from the remote device in response to the query message and displays a message including information of the queried result via the dialogical user interface.
11. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the querying message comprises message for querying sensor data of a specific sensor of the remote device.
12. The mobile device of claim 11 , the specific sensor is a GPS sensor, a temperature sensor or a humidity sensor.
13. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the processor further regularly obtains position information of the remote device from the remote device and displaying a message including the position information of the remote device via the dialogical user interface.
14. The mobile device of claim 13 , wherein the processor further transmits the message including the position information of the remote device to a predefined group of users.
15. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the safe zone information is automatically determined by a cloud server using historical data stored thereon.
16. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the processor further displays a notification message indicating that the position of the remote device is not within the set safe zone via the dialogical user interface when the position of the remote device is not within the set safe zone.
