Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for pushing user information. The method includes obtaining a first identity (ID) of a first user equipment (UE) through short distance communication; searching a first database to obtain first user information corresponding to the first ID, the first database including user information corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of UE IDs; and outputting a push notification including the first user information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for pushing user information, comprising:
obtaining, by a device for pushing user information, a first identity (ID) of a first user equipment (UE) through short distance communication;
when the first ID is not an ID of a detected UE, searching a first database to obtain first user information corresponding to the first ID, the first database including user information corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of UE IDs; and
outputting, by the device for pushing user information, a push notification including the first user information;
when it is detected that the user information corresponding to the first ID does not exist in the first database, generating, by the device for pushing user information, an edit request including the first ID;
receiving, by the device for pushing user information, an edit response including a received user information; and
storing, by the device for pushing user information, the received user information, which is designated as the user information corresponding to the first ID.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a first option that is configured to allow a user to toggle push notifications for respective ones of the plurality of UE IDs, wherein the first option includes the first user information.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving a selection to activate the first option for the first ID; and
adding a first marker to the first ID in the first database.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first marker is configured to prevent an output of the push notification including the first user information.

5. A device for pushing user information, comprising:
a processor; and
a storage configured to store an instruction executable by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain a first identity (ID) of a first user equipment (UE) through short distance communication;
when the first ID is not an ID of a detected UE, search a first database to obtain first user information corresponding to the first ID, the first database including user information corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of UE IDs;
output a push notification including the first user information;
when it is detected that the user information corresponding to the first ID does not exist in the first database, generate an edit request including the first ID;
receive an edit response including a received user information; and
store the received user information, which is designated as the user information corresponding to the first ID.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
generate a first option that is configured to allow a user to toggle push notifications for respective ones of the plurality of UE IDs, wherein the first option includes the first user information.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive a selection to activate the first option for the first ID; and
add a first marker to the first ID in the first database.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the first marker is configured to prevent an output of the push notification including the first user information.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
obtain a first identity (ID) of a first user equipment (UE) through short distance communication;
when the first ID is not an ID of a detected UE, search a first database to obtain first user information corresponding to the first ID, the first database including user information corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of UE IDs;
output a push notification including the first user information;
when it is detected that the user information corresponding to the first ID does not exist in the first database, generate an edit request including the first ID;
receive an edit response including a received user information; and
store the received user information, which is designated as the user information corresponding to the first ID.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9 , further having stored therein instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
generate a first option that is configured to allow a user to toggle push notifications for respective ones of the plurality of UE IDs, wherein the first option includes the first user information.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 , further having stored therein instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive a selection to activate the first option for the first ID; and
add a first marker to the first ID in the first database.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the first marker is configured to prevent an output of the push notification including the first user information.
