A route planning system applied in a server or in a mobile client device can plan a travel route according to client device location information. The route planning system includes an obtaining module, a selection module, and a calculation module. The obtaining module obtains the client device location information. The selection module determines a distance or scanning range according to the client device location information, and selects first pictures from the server or the client device of destinations or attractions which are within the scanning range, according to the location information of all the stored pictures. The calculation module calculates at least one route according to the location information of the first pictures. A route planning method is also provided.
A route planning system operating in a server, the server storing a plurality of pictures with location information and time information, the route planning system comprising:
A route planning system operating in a client device, the client device comprising a position device and a storage device, the storage device storing a plurality of pictures with location information and time information, the route planning system comprising;
A route planning method comprising:

The subject matter herein generally relates to a route planning system and method.
When a user arranges a travel schedule, the user may select the tourist spots and arrange the schedule by the user according to data. Arranging the travel schedule may cost much time. The user also may spend much travel time in traffic as a result.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
FIG. 1 is a diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a route planning system.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the route planning system.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the exemplary embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the exemplary embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the exemplary embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” exemplary embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same exemplary embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
