step S602, the main program of location service predicts according to the moving direction of the user before the user receives GPS signals and reaches a preset place in the moving process, predicts the moving direction of the user in advance, and searches for the location options of the user which can provide map service of specific locations within a certain distance, wherein the size value of the certain distance can be set in advance by the user.
Ways to predict the direction of user movement for a program include, but are not limited to, the following: judging and predicting the moving direction of the user through a GPS signal; the terminal judges and predicts the moving direction of the user through a Wi-Fi positioning technology; the method is realized through a gyroscope built in the terminal. Of course, the user may also actively activate the function by clicking on the screen.
In step S604, the user selects a place to enter by performing a touch operation on the tablet pc according to the prompt information. The location is a parking lot A as an example, and after the user selects the location, the terminal sends a service request to the cloud computing location server through the wireless network.
In step S606, the mobile terminal first determines whether the map data of the parking lot has been downloaded from the specific map data of the mobile terminal, if yes, step S610 is performed, otherwise, step S608 is performed.
Step S608, the cloud computing server downloads the relevant data of the parking lot to the terminal through the network, and displays the specific map of the parking lot.
Step S610, the cloud computing server periodically sends the real-time parking space information in the parking lot to the terminal, and the real-time parking space information is displayed on the user terminal in a graphic mode.
Preferably, before triggering the location service referred to in this preferred embodiment, the user may display a general map, such as: the Google map needs to display a specific place map after being triggered, namely the map for specifically displaying the parking space condition in the example, wherein the parking space information is updated in real time.
For a cloud computing server, when providing a specific location service, location information reported by location nodes scattered in various places needs to be periodically collected. As shown in fig. 5, the cloud computing server establishes a continuous network connection with the parking lot supporting the service and performs periodic information collection, that is, the parking lot detects and collects the parking space information of the parking lot in real time and reports the parking space information to the cloud computing server periodically, where the reported information includes, but is not limited to: parking space occupation information, vacant parking space information and the like.
