At block 201, a portable electronic device is provided.
At block 202, a travelling schedule for one or more tourist attractions is recommended. The travelling schedule can include location information of each tourist attraction and a stay period for each of the one or more tourist attraction, information of each tourist attraction, and a corresponding route to each of the one or more tourist attractions.
At block 203, lodging information is prompted on a display of the portable electronic device according to the route. The lodging information can be presented on an electronic map of the portable electronic device.
At block 204, a location of the portable electronic device is acquired and traveling navigation information is provided through the portable electronic device.
At block 205, determining if the portable electronic device is proximate one of the plurality of the tourist attractions; if yes, the blocks goes to block 206; if no, the blocks goes back to block 204.
At block 206, food information is prompted on the display when the portable electronic device is proximate the one or more tourist attractions.
At block 207, a moving trace of the portable electronic device is recorded.
At block 208, the moving trace, the lodging information and the food information are uploaded from the portable electronic device through the cloud module, and the moving trace, the lodging information and the food information are associated with a time and location.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a travel assisting method and a portable electronic device. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including, the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
