Help seeking method, system, and apparatus, and computer storage medium

A help seeking system comprising:

• a distress device included in a vehicle, the distress device configured to:
• when a vehicle is detected to be in a collision, obtain a geographical location and a device identifier of the distress device;
• and
• send a rescue request to a social server, the rescue request comprising at least the geographical location and the device identifier;
• the social server configured to:
• receive the rescue request sent by the distress device;
• determine a social client account associated with the device identifier, and send the rescue request to the social client account, wherein the social client account is hosted by the social server;
• include the rescue request with the social client account, wherein information included in the rescue request is displayable on a computing device accessing the social client account;
• display, on a graphical user interface associated with the social client account, the rescue request, wherein the graphical user interface associated with the social client account is configured to be viewable by other social client accounts of the social server that are included in an authorization list corresponding with the social client account;
• send the rescue request to a distress device server;
• and
• a distress device server configured to:
• receive the rescue request sent by the social server;
• generate, according to the rescue request, a message including the geographical location for a rescue worker;
• generate a rescue progress message in response to one or more rescue progress query requests sent by a subset of one or more social client accounts of the other social client accounts, wherein a number of the subset is less than a total number of the other social client accounts;
• and
• send the rescue progress message to the social server;
• wherein the social server is further configured to:
• receive the rescue progress message;
• and
• send the rescue progress message only to the subset of the other social client accounts of the social server that are included in the authorization list corresponding with the social client account and that sent the one or more rescue progress query requests.

A distress device server in communication with a social server, the distress device server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive a rescue request sent by the social server, wherein the rescue request is transmitted to the social server by a distress device included in a vehicle when the vehicle is detected to be involved in a collision, wherein the rescue request includes at least a geographical location of the vehicle and a device identifier of the distress device, and wherein the distress device is also configured to provide the rescue request to a social client account, and wherein the social server is configured to display the rescue request on a graphical user interface associated with the social client account, wherein the graphical user interface associated with the social client account is configured to be viewable by other social client accounts of the social server that are included in an authorization list corresponding with the social client account;
• and
• generate, according to the rescue request, a message including the geographical location for a rescue worker;
• instruct, according to the rescue request, a rescue worker to travel to the geographical location to carry out rescue;
• generate a rescue progress message in response to one or more rescue progress query requests sent by a subset of one or more social client accounts of the other social client accounts, wherein a number of the subset is less than a total number of the other social client accounts;
• and
• send the rescue progress message to the social server, wherein the social server is configured to receive the rescue progress message, and send the rescue progress message only to the subset of the other social client accounts of the social server that are included in the authorization list corresponding with the social client account and that sent the one or more rescue progress query requests.
