The following describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related invention, but not to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for convenience of description, only the parts related to the related invention are shown in the drawings.

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

As mentioned above, in some scenarios where LBS is used to obtain location services, location services are usually recommended based on the user's location, or the corresponding location is determined by searching based on the information entered by the user, and displayed in the form of an electronic map. To the user, but this way has a certain degree of inconvenience.

Specifically, suppose the user is located in a certain area with dense buildings, and now the user wants to know the name, specific address, or corresponding zip code of one or some of the buildings, or the user knows a certain The name of the building (eg, XX Building, Block A) and want to go to the site, but there are many buildings around the building, and the name of the building is not obvious. For this situation, the usual method is as follows: The user can launch the electronic map application on the terminal, and estimate the correspondence of the building in the electronic map based on the user's location displayed on the electronic map and the actual location of the building seen by the user. Location, and further obtain relevant information such as name, specific address, or postal code, or plan a route to a building on an electronic map.

However, in fact, the above method is relatively inconvenient for the user, and when determining the corresponding position of the building in the electronic map, it mostly depends on the subjective judgment of the user, which may cause deviation.

For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, a method for implementing location services is provided. The terminal may directly perform image collection on an actual location, and provide relevant information of a target object located on the actual location to a user, thereby implementing location services. , While simplifying the user's operation, it can provide relevant information to the user more accurately.

Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of an architecture based on a method for implementing a location service according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1, it includes a terminal and a server, where:

The terminal can be considered as a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, smart watch, smart glasses or smart camera, etc. Mobile communication terminal with image acquisition function. Of course, in order to achieve image acquisition, it is also feasible that the terminal is connected to an external (not the terminal itself) image acquisition device (such as a camera).

In practical applications, users can use the terminal to collect images of actual target objects such as buildings, and the terminal can send the collected real-world data to the server. Generally, the terminal itself has a positioning function, and the positioning function can optimize the results of the foregoing method in this application. Of course, in some embodiments, when the above method in this application is used, the terminal may not have a positioning function. This constitutes a limitation on this application.

The server can identify the corresponding target object based on the real scene data captured by the terminal, and determine the relevant information to feed back to the terminal. In some embodiments, the server may be constituted by a server. Specifically, the server may adopt a cluster architecture, a distributed architecture, or only adopt a single server, which may be specifically determined according to actual application requirements, which is not limited herein. In practical applications, the server can be considered as a back-end service system for service providers such as navigation service providers, telecom operators, and commercial websites. It should be understood that a service system composed of distributed computers or computing devices should also be considered to be within the scope covered by the server in this application.

The interaction mode between the terminal and the server shown in FIG. 1 is not the only way. In other embodiments, the terminal itself has sufficient processing performance and storage space. Then, the terminal can directly obtain the real-world data collected by the terminal. Processing without uploading to the server. It can be understood that the devices and the numbers of the terminals and servers used in FIG. 1 are only exemplary. In actual application, as for the specific interaction method, the type of equipment and the number of equipment used between the terminal and the server, the details will be determined according to the actual application situation, which should not be construed as limiting this application.

Based on the architecture shown in FIG. 1, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, a method for implementing a location service provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, which specifically includes the following steps:

Step S201: The terminal collects image data of a target object at an actual location to obtain real-world data.

The target object of the actual location described herein can be considered as a spatial place located in a real location in the real world, and can include but is not limited to: buildings (such as office buildings, shopping malls, etc.), streets, squares, or offline stores (Eg: restaurants, coffee shops, etc.).

In practical applications, it is inconvenient for a user to obtain the corresponding location service information through the traditional LBS method for the foregoing target object. Therefore, by applying the method described in this application, the user can directly use the terminal to target the actual location. The subject performs image acquisition. Of course, the image acquisition may be performed by taking a picture, taking a video, or simply aiming a framing frame at a target object.

The user can trigger the terminal to perform image acquisition by issuing a trigger operation on the image acquisition function in the location service application that supports image acquisition installed or running on the terminal. Of course, the trigger operation may include, but is not limited to, a tap operation, a slide operation, or a voice input operation.

In a feasible implementation manner, an electronic map application or an application with an electronic map function provides a corresponding real scene collection function, and the user can trigger the real scene collection function from the above application to start the camera of the terminal to the actual location. Image acquisition of the target object.

In another feasible implementation manner, the collection of real-world images may also be implemented by a camera application carried in a terminal operating system, that is, a user launches the camera application and points the lens at a target object at an actual location. So as to achieve the image set.

In the embodiment of the present application, the real scene data may be image data or video data, which is not specifically limited herein.

Step S203: Determine geographic identification information that matches the target object according to the real scene data.

The geographic identification information may include at least the name of the target object (such as a building name, a store name, etc.), an identification number (such as a number, an ID, etc.), coordinate data, and specific address information.

In one way, as shown in FIG. 1, the server can process the real scene data, that is, the terminal sends the collected real scene data to the server, so that the server determines the The actual location information matched with the real scene data is fed back to the terminal. In another manner, the terminal itself may also perform the above step S203.

Step S205: Provide the geographic identification information to the user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the manner in which the geographical identification information is provided to the user may be diversified, and the geographical identification information may be displayed to the user, or may be broadcasted to the user in the form of voice (for example, the voice to the user: current The building is XX Tower A).

Generally, for displaying geographical indication information to a user, the display may be performed in a specified interface of the terminal. The specified interface described herein may include, but is not limited to, a photo interface, a viewfinder interface, or Video interface.

Referring to FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. 3, this is a display manner of geographic identification information in the embodiment of the present application. The framing interface in the figure can display the real scene captured by the camera in real time. Select the target object in the real scene. The geographical identification information is the specific name of the building. For the building selected by the framing frame, the specific name will be displayed in real-time in the form of text. Of course, the method shown in FIG. 3 is only an example, and is not the only display method. In actual applications, other display methods can also be used. For example, the geographical identification information also includes standard pictures and profile information of the target object. Then, a separate interface can be used on the terminal to present standard pictures and profile information of the target object.

Another example: Suppose a user uses a smart wearable device such as virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) (such as: AR glasses, VR helmets, etc.). Then, the geographical identification information can also be rendered and displayed in real time on the smart wearable device. on the screen.

The above manners should not be construed as limiting the present application.

Through the above steps, different from the traditional LBS method, the user can directly use the terminal to perform image acquisition on target objects such as buildings or stores located in a certain actual location. After acquiring the corresponding real scene data, the user can pass The real scene data determines the geographical identification information corresponding to the target object, so that the geographical identification information can be provided to the user. Obviously, this method can reduce or avoid the tedious steps of searching, viewing, and inferring the corresponding position of the target object on the electronic map through the electronic map application to a certain extent, and making it easier for the user to know the relevant information of the target object. It helps to improve the user experience, and can minimize the deviation caused by the user's subjective inference.

For the method shown in FIG. 2, the above steps may be executed by the terminal itself, an application running on the terminal, or a server. In addition, during the execution of the above steps, the execution subject may also change. For example, the execution subject of step S201 may be the terminal itself, and the execution subject of step S203 may be the server. Of course, the specific will be determined according to the actual application situation, which should not be understood as limiting the present application.

The specific implementation of the method described in the embodiment of the present application will be described in more detail below.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, whether it is a terminal or a server, in the process of determining geographic identification information that matches the target object according to the real scene data, the target object image is first identified from the real scene data. Feature, and then find matching feature data in a pre-established feature database according to the identified image features, and determine the geographic identification information corresponding to the matched feature data as the geographic identification matched by the target object in the real scene data information.

Of course, the pre-trained recognition model combined with the recognition algorithm can be used to realize target object recognition and feature extraction, such as: local feature point extraction, speckle detection, corner detection, binary string feature descriptors and other image recognition algorithms. Of course The corresponding identification technology is relatively mature, so I won't go into too much detail here.

For the pre-established feature database, it can be considered that corresponding image data is obtained in advance for different target objects, and the pre-obtained image data is processed by steps such as feature extraction to obtain relevant feature data, thereby establishing The resulting feature database. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to establish a feature database, the acquired image data of the target object can be derived from a variety of different ways, such as real-world maps, field collections, network pictures, and user uploads. Decided.

In a simple example, the data format stored in the feature database may be, for example: target object name-feature data-geographic identification information. Of course, this is only one possible way. In practical applications, the data format stored in the feature database may also be in other ways, but it is understandable that the data format used in the feature database should be Conducive to the determination of geographical indication information.

In addition, when identifying a target object based on real-world data, on the one hand, it is necessary to compare and query the image features of the target object with the feature data in the feature database, which undoubtedly increases the time consuming of the recognition process; on the other hand, considering the reality Some target objects such as office buildings and offline stores are similar in appearance, which may affect the accuracy of the recognition results. Therefore, as a feasible way in the embodiment of the present application, the current location information of the terminal may also be obtained, that is, for the method shown in FIG. 2, matching with the target object is determined according to the real scene data. Before the geographic identification information, the method may further include: obtaining location information of the terminal.

Further, the process of determining geographic identification information that matches the target object according to the real scene data may also be: determining, based on the location information of the terminal and the real scene data, a match that matches the target object. Geographical information.

In combination with the above description of the feature database, the location information of the terminal can be used to filter the feature data of the target object that matches the location information in the feature database, and further extract the feature data and the real-world data of the filtered target object. Image features for recognition and comparison.

Obviously, in a scenario where a user uses a mobile terminal, the location of the terminal can also be considered as the location of the user. Then, using the location of the terminal as a reference, the range of feature data to be queried can be effectively reduced, that is, only The target object characteristic data within a certain range of the user's location needs to be compared, so that the target object corresponding to the real scene data and the geographic identification information matched by the target object can be determined quickly.

In fact, the method shown in FIG. 2 can also be applied to different application scenarios. Specifically, as a typical application of location services, information about offline stores (such as restaurants) near any place can be recommended. To the user, the user can know the offline stores near the corresponding place through the application such as an electronic map application or a consumer service application (such as a business review application). In an actual scenario, multiple offline stores may be distributed in a certain building (such as an office building or a shopping mall). If a user wants to know the offline stores contained in the building, the usual method is as follows: An electronic map application, which uses the electronic map to view information about each store in a certain place. However, for this scenario, the aforementioned problems may still occur, that is, if the user is near the above-mentioned building, but does not know the name, detailed address and other information of the building in advance, the user needs to subjectively observe the actual environment. Infer the possible corresponding position of the building to be queried on the electronic map, and check the information of the stores contained in the building displayed on the location map.

In order to improve the convenience for users to obtain information in the above scenarios, based on the method shown in Figure 2, information such as stores and stores corresponding to the building can be provided to users.

Specifically, the method may further include the following steps:

Acquiring location service information related to the geographic identification information, and providing the location service information to the user.

In the embodiment of the present application, the location service information may be considered as various types of information related to location services. In addition to the location information, the location service information may also include: stores, merchants, business information, stores, or merchants in the building. Traffic, hotspot ratings, referrals, rankings, and more.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned location service information may be obtained from different information sources, and the information sources may be, for example, users, service providers, enterprises, third-party data statistics agencies, and the like, which are not specifically limited herein.

The method of providing the location service information to the user is similar to the above-mentioned geographic identification information, and it can also use voice broadcasting, or display the location service information on the terminal interface. When the location service information is displayed, it may be specifically displayed in the form of text, numbers, symbols, graphics, icons, or a combination thereof.

As a feasible implementation manner, the location service information of the target object can be displayed in real time in the framing interface of the terminal. Referring to FIG. 3 at the same time, in order to distinguish a building selected by a user from a plurality of buildings (that is, a target object) captured by a framing interface, the building may be marked by a framing frame. Then, location services Information can also be displayed based on the corresponding framing frame.

Referring to FIG. 4a, the display method of the location service information may be as shown in FIG. 4a. That is, in the framing interface shown in FIG. 4a, the location service information of the building is displayed under its name and connected to the viewfinder by means of an instruction line. frame. In addition, the location service information shown in FIG. 4a is a kind of abbreviated information, and the user can click to display more detailed information. Location service information.

Referring to FIG. 4b, after the user performs operations on the location service information in FIG. 4a (eg, clicks), more detailed location service information related to the building is displayed in the viewfinder interface. More detailed location service information can be displayed in the designated information display area. As shown in Figure 4b, the information display area uses floating windows to display detailed location service information on the left side of the selected building. In the display state of FIG. 4b, the user clicks the information display area again, the information display area disappears, and the interface returns to the state shown in FIG. 4a. The information display area can also use floating windows with higher transparency, or be fully transparent.

In addition to the display mode shown in FIG. 4b, a method such as jumping to a new page may also be adopted, that is, when the user clicks on the thumbnail information in FIG. 4a, the user may jump from the viewfinder interface currently displayed on the terminal. Go to the details page.

As an example, FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b only show the display of the mall location service information contained in the building. In fact, there may be multiple merchants in the building. Then, for the buildings selected by the framing frame, multiple merchants may be displayed, that is, as shown in FIG. 4c. Of course, the different merchants shown in FIG. 4c are not all merchants in the building. These merchants displayed may be determined after the server-side back-end algorithm is sorted according to the popularity, rating, etc., which is not specifically limited here. .

It can be understood that in practical applications, the transparency of the information display area, the fonts, colors, and display positions used by the location service information should be convenient for users to browse, and the specific display method used for this should not be understood as Restrictions on this application.

Reference is made to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of an architecture adopted by the foregoing method according to an embodiment of the present application in a scenario of providing location service information. It can be seen from FIG. 5 that the first terminal, the second terminal, and the server are included.

The first terminal may be considered as a terminal device that performs image collection on a target object at an actual location. For details, refer to the terminal shown in FIG. 1, which is not described in detail here.

The second terminal may be considered as a terminal that uploads location service information related to the actual location target object. Generally, the second terminal is usually located in a target object at an actual location, and may include, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, a notebook computer, a computer, a cash register device with a network function, a number picking device, and a card used by a merchant Machine and so on.

For example: if a user eats a meal at a restaurant, the mobile phone used by the user can upload location information and rating information for the restaurant to the server, then the mobile phone used by the user can be regarded as a second terminal. For another example: The number picking device of a restaurant can upload the information such as the number of the current time to the server, and the number picking device can also be regarded as a second terminal.

The server can feedback the location service information uploaded by the second terminal to the first terminal. Regarding the specific composition structure and type of the server, please refer to the corresponding content in FIG. 1, which will not be repeated here.

In practical applications, the number of second terminals is usually large, thereby forming a large number of data sources, and providing data support for implementing the above method in this application. FIG. 5 only illustrates the second terminal by way of example, and does not limit the number of the second terminal to one, nor does it limit the type of the second terminal to a mobile phone. Similarly, the number of the first terminals may also be large, and is not limited to that shown in FIG. 5.

The numbers of the interaction processes between the ends shown in FIG. 5 only reflect a typical interaction sequence, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 6, for the first terminal, the specific steps performed by it are as follows:

Step S601: The first terminal collects image data of a target object at an actual location to obtain real scene data.

Step S603: Send the real scene data to a server, so that the server determines, based on the real scene data, geographic identification information and location service information that match the target object, and feeds it back to the first terminal.

In the embodiment of the present application, the specific manner in which the first terminal sends real-world data to the server may be a request manner, that is, the first terminal generates a service information acquisition request according to the real-world data, and sends the service information acquisition request. To the server.

Step S605: Receive the geographical indication information and location service information fed back by the server and provide it to the user. For a specific method adopted by the first terminal when displaying the geographical indication information and the location service information of the target object, reference may be made to the foregoing content, and details are not described herein again.

Referring to FIG. 7, for a second terminal, the specific steps performed by it are as follows: Step S701: The second terminal obtains basic information related to the location service.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the types of the second terminal are various, and the information uploaded to the server by different types of the second terminal is also different, as mentioned above, if the second terminal is a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone, the second terminal Location information, evaluation information, etc. may be uploaded to the server; if the second terminal is a number-taking device used by a merchant, the second terminal may upload rank information and other bit information to the server. The above information uploaded by the second terminal to the server can be used as a basis for generating location service information by the server. Therefore, the information uploaded by the second terminal can be regarded as basic information related to the location service.

On the second terminal side, the above-mentioned basic information can be obtained by the second terminal itself. For example, the location information of the mobile phone can be obtained by the mobile phone itself through related positioning services; obtain.

Step S703: Upload the basic information to a server, so that the server generates location service information according to the basic information.

As a feasible way in the embodiment of the present application, for a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc., location information can be uploaded to the server; and for a non-mobile communication terminal such as a cash register device, a number obtaining device, etc. For example, when uploading basic information to the server for the first time, the corresponding location information can be uploaded to the server together.

Referring to Figure 8, the specific steps performed by the server are as follows:

Step S801: Receive basic information related to the actual location target object location service uploaded by the second terminal. Step S803: Generate corresponding location service information for the target object according to the basic information.

Through a large amount of basic information uploaded by the second terminal received by the server, the server can further perform data processing such as classification and statistics according to the basic information, so as to generate corresponding location service information for each target object. For example: For restaurant A located in a certain place, after receiving the ranking information and other bit information uploaded by the restaurant's number picking device, the server can generate location service information for restaurant A (specifically: Ranking situation).

Step S805: After receiving the real scene data sent by the first terminal, feedback the location service related to the target in the real scene data to the first terminal.

As mentioned above, the user can use the first terminal to perform image acquisition on the target object of the building in the actual location, and the first terminal can send a corresponding information acquisition request to the server based on the collected real scene data. After that, the location service information related to the target object can be provided to the user.
