Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and system for cutting video using video content. The method comprises: acquiring recorded video produced by user's recording operation; extracting features of recorded audio in the recorded video and judging whether the recorded audio is damaged; and if not, extracting human voice data from the recorded audio which has been filtered out background sound, intercepting video segment corresponding to effective human voice, and displaying the video segment as clip video; and if yes, extracting image feature data of person's mouth shape and human movements in the recorded video after image processing, fitting the image feature data and the human voice data which has been filtered out background sound, and displaying the video segment with the highest fitting degree as clip video.

Abstract: This application is directed to a geographic information display method. While a first mobile device is executing an instant messaging application, it obtains its own geographic location information, a second mobile device's geographic location information, and a first timestamp at which the geographic location information is recorded. The first mobile device then displays an interactive map associated with the first timestamp on a user interface. The displayed map includes two marks that represent the locations of the first and second mobile devices, respectively, and instant messages exchanged between these two mobile devices are displayed on the map adjacent to the two marks. As the first mobile device obtains updated geographic location information in association with a second timestamp, it updates the location of the second mobile device while the mark corresponding to the first mobile device remains at the same location on the user interface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sharing real-time location information are disclosed herein. A computing device with processor(s) and memory displays a chat interface of a social networking platform for a conversation between a first user and a second user associated with the computing device. The computing device receives a location-sharing request from the first user to join a real-time location sharing group and, in response, displays a location-sharing message. After detecting a first user input on the location-sharing message from the second user of the computing device, the computing device replaces the chat interface with a location interface of the social networking platform, the location interface including a map overlaid with a first indicator corresponding to a respective real-time location of the first user and a second indicator corresponding to a respective real-time location of the second user.

Abstract: A method, device, and terminal for displaying multiple users' locations on a map. The method includes: acquiring in real time, the most current locations of all the users who participate through an instant messaging chat system to share in sharing their locations; determining a starting location on a map, creating a starting region centered on the starting location, and gradually expanding the starting region in accordance with the most current location of each of the users who participate in sharing their locations, until a target region including the most current locations of all the users who participate in sharing their locations is acquired; and determining and displaying a viewable region on the map in accordance with the target region. The target region starting region expands to display a viewable region on the map as determined, such that the most current locations of users participating in sharing location is efficiently acquired.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides system and methods for a sharing geographic location. A local terminal may be configured to display a map interface including a graphic indicator. The graphic indicator may correspond to a remote geographic location of a remote terminal. The local terminal may be further configured to receive a selection signal directed at the graphic indicator to track the remote terminal. In response to the signal, the local terminal may repeatedly receive a geographic location information update corresponding to the remote terminal. The geographic location information update may include an updated geographic location of the remote terminal. In addition, the local terminal may update a travel route indicative of a path between the updated geographic location of the remote terminal and a target geographic location. The terminal may display the travel route on the map interface in real time.
