Abstract
Various embodiments of a battery detector are provided. In one aspect, a method for capturing geographic information is applied to an electronic device in communication with the Global Positioning System (GPS). The method includes displaying map information on a touch screen provided by the electronic device; receiving a query condition according to an operation of a user; detecting via the touch screen a touch instruction performed by the user, with the touch instruction being corresponding to a selection range formed by at least one touch point, on the touch screen, selected by the user; querying a geographic database according to the query condition and the touch instruction; and displaying the query result on the touch screen.
Claims12
A method for retrieving geographic information, applied to an electronic device communicatively coupled to a global positioning system, the method comprising:
- displaying map information on a touch screen of the electronic device;
- receiving a query according to an operation of a user;
- detecting a touch instruction from the touch screen, the touch instruction indicative of a selection range defined by at least one touch point selected by the user on the touch screen;
- querying a geographic database according to the query and the touch instruction;
- and
- displaying a query result on the touch screen.
A geographic information retrieving electronic device, comprising:
- a receiving unit, communicatively coupled to the Global Positioning System (GPS), that receives positioning information;
- a touch screen, electrically connected the receiving unit, that displays map information and detects a touch instruction of a user, the touch instruction indicative of a selection range defined by at least one touch point on the touch screen according to an intuitive operation of the user;
- and
- a control unit, electrically connected to the touch screen, that queries a geographic database according to a query and the touch instruction to cause a query result to be displayed on the touch screen.
