step S11, judging whether the user starts the prompt function of nearby friends;
in this step, it is determined whether the user has started the nearby friend prompt function, and if yes, step S12 is executed; if not, jumping to the end.
Specifically, a setting interface including an activation switch corresponding to a nearby friend prompt function, a selection item of a distance range, an activation switch corresponding to a permitted friend discovery function, and the like may be provided to the user through the instant messaging client installed in the terminal apparatus 101. The user can start or close the nearby friend prompt function through the starting switch corresponding to the nearby friend prompt function, and when the user starts the nearby friend prompt function, the user can receive the related prompt information of nearby friends. The user can select or customize the distance range through the selection item of the distance range, wherein the distance range refers to the distance range between the position of the friend and the position of the user. The user can turn on or turn off the function allowing the friend to be found through the starting switch allowing the function allowing the friend to be found, when the user turns on the function allowing the friend to be found, the geographic position and the account information of the user can be acquired by other users using nearby friend prompt functions, of course, the user is used as a friend of other users, and the account information of the user is used in a friend list of other users.
In an embodiment, when receiving that the user starts a nearby friend prompt function in the setting interface, the setting interface may further provide options of the distance range, such as 500 meters, 1000 meters, and user-defined options, to the user, so as to facilitate the user to select or input the distance range he or she wants. In another embodiment, the setting interface may not provide the selection item of the distance range, but directly adopts a preset default distance range, which may be set to 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters or other, and the invention does not limit the specific value of the distance range.
Step S12, acquiring the current position of the user;
in this step, if it is determined that the user has started the prompt function of a nearby friend, the current location of the user is obtained. In one example, the current Location of the user holding the terminal apparatus 101 may be acquired through LBS (Location Based Service).
In the present embodiment, the step S12 includes: collecting GPS positioning data of the user; and acquiring the current position of the user according to the GPS positioning data of the user.
Step S13, obtaining the friend list information of the user;
in this step, the buddy list of the user may be, for example, an address list in the WeChat, a contact list in the QQ, or a user-defined buddy list.
It is understood that the step S13 is not necessarily after the step S12, but may be before the step S12.
Step S14, determining whether there is a friend of the user within a specified distance range of the user;
in this step, after the buddy list information of the user is obtained, the current location of the buddy is obtained, and according to the current location of the buddy and the current location of the user, it is further determined whether there is a buddy of the user within the specified distance range of the user, if yes, step S15 is executed; if not, jumping to the end.
Specifically, the specified distance range refers to a distance range set by the user according to a setting interface provided by the instant messaging client installed in the terminal device 103 or a default distance range of the system.
And step S15, sending a prompt message to the user.
In this step, if it is determined that the friend of the user is within the specified distance range of the user, a prompt message is sent to the user. The prompt message may include account information of the friend, a distance between the friend and the user, and the like. If a plurality of friends are all within the specified distance range of the user, the prompt message may include account information of all friends within the specified distance range and distances from the user.
Therefore, by the method for prompting nearby friends provided by the embodiment, the user can conveniently and quickly acquire the prompt information of the nearby friends only by starting the functions of the nearby friends so as to contact the nearby friends. Therefore, the method for prompting nearby friends provided by the embodiment can meet the requirement of a user for quickly discovering nearby friends, and the experience of the user on instant messaging is improved.

Specifically, if a buddy in the buddy list information of the user uses the terminal device 103, the buddy may start the allowed buddy discovery function through a setting interface provided by an instant messaging client installed in the terminal device 103.
Substep S142, obtain the present position of the good friend;
in the sub-step, if the friend is judged to start the function allowed to be found by the friend, the current position of the friend is obtained. In one example, the current location of the buddy may be obtained through an LBS.
In this embodiment, the substep S142 includes: collecting the GPS positioning data of the friend; and acquiring the current position of the friend according to the GPS positioning data.
Substep S143, determining whether the current location of the friend is within the specified distance range of the user according to the current location of the friend and the current location of the user;
specifically, the specified distance range refers to a distance range set by the user according to a setting interface provided by the instant messaging client installed in the terminal device 103 or a default distance range of the system.
In this sub-step, if it is determined that the current location of the friend is within the specified distance range of the user, then step S15 is executed; and if the current position of the friend is judged not to be within the specified distance range of the user, jumping to the end.
