Position reminding method

The invention discloses a position reminding method. The method includes: clients acquire position information within preset duration for no less than one time through a GPS (global positioning system); the clients send the acquired position information to a server for storage; the server determines no less than one normal-state position of the clients according to the no less than one time of position information; and when the position of one client leaves own normal-state position and the distance between the client and another client is smaller than a preset value, encounter reminding notification information is sent to the two clients. By means of the technical scheme, encountered users can be reminded of encountering by initiatively analyzing and processing the normal-state positions, and accordingly brushing past caused by the fact that a system does not notify initiatively though the users are in encountered states in a social network can be avoided.
