METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

摘要

This application is directed to a geographic information display method. While a first mobile device is executing an instant messaging application, it obtains its own geographic location information, a second mobile device's geographic location information, and a first timestamp at which the geographic location information is recorded. The first mobile device then displays a map associated with the first timestamp on a user interface. The displayed map includes two marks that represent the locations of the first and second mobile devices, respectively, and instant messages exchanged between these two mobile devices are displayed on the map adjacent to the two marks. As the first mobile device obtains geographic location information in association with a second timestamp, it updates the displayed map to reflect variations of the locations of the mobile devices, while the mark corresponding to the first mobile device is displayed at a fixed location on the user interface.

1. A geographic information display method, comprising:
at a first mobile device having one or more processors and memory storing programs for execution by the processors: while executing an instant messaging application:
obtaining first geographic location information of the first mobile device associated with a first user, second geographic location information of a second mobile device associated with a second user, and a first timestamp at which both the first and second geographic location information is recorded;displaying a map associated with the first timestamp, wherein the map includes a first mark corresponding to the first mobile device at a first location defined by the first geographic location information and a second mark corresponding to the second mobile device at a second location defined by the second geographic location information, respectively, and instant messages exchanged between the first and second users are displayed on the map adjacent to the first and second marks, respectively;obtaining updated geographic location information of the first mobile device and the second mobile device, and a second timestamp at which the updated geographic location information is recorded; andupdating the displayed map on the user interface to reflect variations of the geographic locations of the first and second mobile devices, wherein the first mark corresponding to the first mobile device is at a fixed location on the user interface, and the second mark corresponding to the second mobile device is updated on the displayed map according to the updated geographic location information of the second mobile device.
