Step 101: activating a wireless searching function in a condition that a first wearable smart terminal receives a first request for friending another person from a first user.
In the actual implementation, a local first user could open an embedded application of friending another person in the first wearable smart terminal 10 and thus enter the interface of friending another person. The first wearable smart terminal 10 receives a first request of friending another person from the first user and then automatically activates a Bluetooth signal searching function. In another embodiment, it can be Wifi, ZigBee, NFC, or other wireless communications. Bluetooth is only an example here, not a limitation.
Step 102: obtaining a media access control address of the second wearable smart terminal in a condition that a wireless signal of a second wearable smart terminal is detected within a predetermined period of time to be stronger than a threshold voltage.
In a preferred embodiment, the predetermined time period for the Bluetooth signal searching function is set as two minutes. In other embodiments, it could be set as one minute, three minutes, or five minutes. The threshold value is 45 decibels (dB). In other embodiments, it could be 40 dB, 50 dB, 60 dB or any other signal magnitudes. Here, if the first wearable smart terminal 10 could detect a Bluetooth signal greater than 45 dB within 2 minutes from a second wearable smart terminal 20, the first wearable smart terminal 10 could obtain a media access control (MAC) address of the second wearable smart terminal 20.
In another embodiment, in the condition that the first wearable smart terminal 10 cannot find any Bluetooth signal greater than 45 dB within 2 minutes, the first wearable smart terminal 10 displays a failure confirmation window such that the first user could confirms the failure information from the first wearable smart terminal 10. After the user clicks to confirm the failure information via this interface, the first user could activate the above-mentioned friending steps such that the first wearable smart terminal 10 could activate the searching function again. In another embodiment, in the condition that the first wearable smart terminal 10 cannot find any Bluetooth signal greater than 45 dB within 2 minutes, the first wearable smart terminal 10 could display a window of retrying the searching function after or at the time of displaying failure confirmation window. In this way, the first user could click the window of retrying the searching function and then the first wearable smart terminal 10 could immediately re-perform the above-mentioned friending steps.
Step 103: sending a second request for friending a second user of the second wearable smart terminal 20 to a cloud server, wherein the second request carries a user identification of the first user and the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20.
In a preferred embodiment, after the first wearable smart terminal 10 detects the second wearable smart terminal 20 that meets its demand, the first wearable smart terminal 10 sends a request for friending the second user, who is solely corresponding to the second wearable smart terminal 20 (which means that the second wearable smart terminal 20 and the second user have one-on-one correspondence). The aforementioned request comprises a MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20 and a user identification of the first user, who is solely corresponding to the first wearable smart terminal 10 (which means that the first wearable smart terminal 10 and the first user have one-on-one correspondence).
In another embodiment, the second user of the second wearable smart terminal 20 accepts the request of the first user of the first wearable smart terminal 10 for friending the second user. Then, the second wearable smart terminal 20 sends another request for friending the first user of the first wearable smart terminal 10 to the cloud server 30.

Step 201: The cloud server receives a second request sent from the first wearable smart terminal, where the second request is for friending the second user of the second wearable smart terminal and the second request carries a user identification of the first user of the first wearable terminal and a MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal.
In a preferred embodiment, the cloud server 30 receives a request of the first user, who is solely corresponding to the first wearable smart terminal 10, for friending the second user, who is solely corresponding to the second wearable smart terminal 20. The aforementioned request comprises a user identification of the first user and the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20.
Step 202: The cloud server finds out a user identification of the second user according to the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal and a corresponding relationship between the MAC address information and user identification information.
Because the user identification of a user and the wearable smart terminal have a one-on-one corresponding relationship, the user identification and the MAC address of the wearable smart terminal also have a one-on-one corresponding relationship. The corresponding relationship between the user identification and the MAC address of the wearable smart terminal had been stored in the cloud server 30 at the time when the user signed on. Therefore, the cloud server 30 could find out the user identification of the second user solely corresponding to the second wearable smart terminal 20 according to the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20 after receiving the request sent from the first wearable smart terminal 10.
Step 203: The cloud server sends a third request of the first user for friending the second user to the second wearable smart terminal according to the user identification of the second user, where the third request carries the user identification of the first user.
The cloud server 30 sends a request of the first user for friending the second user through an extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP) to the second wearable smart terminal 20 according to the detected user identification of the second user, who is solely corresponding to the second wearable smart terminal 20. This request carries the user identification of the first user such that the second user could understand who would like to friend him.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the user identification and the wearable smart terminal have a one-on-one corresponding relationship and this corresponding relationship is stored in the cloud server. Therefore, the request for friending each other is sent by the cloud and this mechanism improves the big data statistics and also improves the safety and reliability of friending method because the user and the wearable smart terminal have a one-on-one corresponding relationship.

In operation, the processor 21 of the second wearable smart terminal 20 controls the communication circuit 22 to send a wireless signal, which comprises the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20. The processor 11 of the first wearable smart terminal 10 controls the communication circuit 12 to activate the wireless signal searching function. Then, the communication circuit 12 searches where there is a wireless signal stronger than a threshold value (such as 45 dB) within a predetermined period of time (such as two minutes). If a wireless signal sent by the communication circuit 22 is detected, the first wearable smart terminal 10 could obtain the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20 from the wireless signal. The processor 11 controls the communication circuit 12 to link to the communication circuit 32 of the cloud server 30 and sends a request for friending the second user of the second wearable smart terminal 20. The aforementioned request comprises a user identification of the first user of the first wearable smart terminal 10 and the MAC address of the second wearable smart terminal 20.
After the communication circuit 32 of the cloud server 30 receives the aforementioned request sent by the first wearable smart terminal 10, the processor 31 seeks the user identification of the second user, who is solely corresponding to the second wearable smart terminal 20 according to the request and controls the communication circuit 32 to link to the communication circuit of the second wearable smart terminal 20 and to send a friending request of the first wearable smart terminal 10 to the second wearable smart terminal 20. This friending request comprises the user identification of the first user of the first wearable smart terminal 10.
After the second user of the second wearable smart terminal 20 accepts the friending request, the processor 21 controls the communication circuit 22 to send a friending request for friending the first user to the cloud server 30. The cloud server 30 receives the aforementioned request through the communication circuit 32 and then the processor 31 processes this request.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operation of friending each other is through the cloud. This mechanism improves the big data statistics and also improves the safety and reliability of friending method because the user identification and the wearable smart terminal have a one-on-one corresponding relationship.
