Abstract

A method for vehicle sharing service may include obtaining, from a terminal device, a location of the terminal device via a network. The method may also include obtaining, from the terminal device, information associated with a vehicle, the information including an identifier of a short-range wireless communication module of the vehicle. The short-range wireless communication module may emit a short-range wireless signal. The information associated with the vehicle may further include an intensity of the short-range wireless signal determined by the terminal device. The method may further include determining a location area of the vehicle based on the location of the terminal device and the intensity of the short-range wireless signal.

Claims (70)

1. A system comprising:

a storage device storing a set of instructions;

one or more processors in communication with the storage device, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to:

obtain, from a terminal device, a location of the terminal device via a network;

obtain, from the terminal device, information associated with a vehicle, the information including an identifier of a short-range wireless communication module of the vehicle, the short-range wireless communication module emitting a short-range wireless signal, the information associated with the vehicle further including an intensity of the short-range wireless signal determined by the terminal device; and

determine a location area of the vehicle based on the location of the terminal device and the intensity of the short-range wireless signal.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein to determine a location area of the vehicle, the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to:

determine a distance between the vehicle and the terminal device based on the intensity of the short-range wireless signal determined by the terminal device; and

determine the location area of the vehicle based on the location of the terminal device and the distance between the vehicle and the terminal device.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the location area of the vehicle is a circular region with the location of the terminal device as a center and the distance between the vehicle and the terminal device as a radius.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the system to:

obtain a map;

mark the location area of the vehicle on the map;

obtain a request from a requester terminal;

obtain a location of the requester terminal;

mark the location of the requester terminal on the map; and

transmit the map with the mark of the location area of the vehicle and the location of the requester terminal to the requester terminal.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the system to:

determine a plurality of location areas associated with a plurality of vehicles; and

determine a hot region based on the plurality of location areas associated with the plurality of vehicles.

6. A system comprising:

a storage device storing a set of instructions;

one or more processors in communication with the storage device, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to:

obtain a location of a terminal device according to a first positioning mode;

determine a distance between a vehicle and the terminal device based on the determined location of the terminal device according to the first positioning mode;

determine whether the distance is greater than a first threshold;

in response to the determination that the distance is greater than the first threshold,

generate a first route between the terminal device and the vehicle, and

transmit the first route to the terminal device; and

in response to the determination that the distance is not greater than the first threshold,

generate, according to a second positioning mode, a second route between the terminal device and the vehicle, and

transmit the second route to the terminal device.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein a positioning accuracy of the second positioning mode is higher than that of the first positioning mode.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the system to:

re-determine the distance between the vehicle and the terminal device based on the second positioning mode;

determine that the distance is less than a second threshold; and

transmit an arrival hint to the terminal device, the second threshold being less than the first threshold.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the system to transmit an instruction to the vehicle to emit a reminding hint.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first positioning mode is a position mode based on at least one of: a global positioning system (GPS), a global navigation satellite system (GLONASS), or a beidou navigation system.

11. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second positioning mode includes an ibeacon positioning mode.

12. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the system to:

obtain, from the terminal device, the location of the terminal device via a network;

obtain, from the terminal device, information associated with the vehicle, the information including an identifier of a short-range wireless communication module of the vehicle, the short-range wireless communication module emitting a short-range wireless signal, the information associated with the vehicle further including an intensity of the short-range wireless signal determined by the terminal device; and

determine a location area of the vehicle based on the location of the terminal device and the intensity of the short-range wireless signal.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein to determine the location area of the vehicle, the one or more processors are configured to cause the system to:

determine the distance between the vehicle and the terminal device based on the intensity of the short-range wireless signal determined by the terminal device; and

determine the location area of the vehicle based on the location of the terminal device and the distance between the vehicle and the terminal device.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cause the system to:

obtain a map;

mark the location area of the vehicle on the map;

obtain a request from a requester terminal;

obtain a location of the requester terminal;

mark the location of the requester terminal on the map; and

transmit the map with the mark of the location area of the vehicle and the location of the requester terminal to the requester terminal.

15. A terminal device comprising:

a storage device storing a set of instructions;

one or more processors in communication with the storage device, wherein when executing the set of instructions, the one or more processors are configured to cause the terminal device to:

determine a location of the terminal device according to a first positioning mode;

determine a distance between a vehicle and the terminal device based on the determined location of the terminal device according to the first positioning mode;

determine whether the distance is greater than a first threshold;

in response to the determination that the distance is greater than the first threshold, generate a first route between the terminal device and the vehicle; and

in response to the determination that the distance is not greater than the first threshold, generate, according to a second positioning mode, a second route between the terminal device and the vehicle.

16. The terminal device of claim 15 , wherein a positioning accuracy of the second positioning mode is higher than that of the first positioning mode.
