Based on Self-seeking theory, the article exploring the loneliness , emptiness and anxiety of the modern crowd,and from the theoretical analysis of the plight of different solutions for them. Proposing a four-level concept of the desire for seeking are physiological satisfaction, social satisfaction, spiritual fulfillment, and self-realization. Through a theoretical analysis of tour pal crowd and the behavior of them, considering that tour pal activity is a higher level of self-seeking behavior. A theoretical exploration and practice for different levels of self-seeking ways, lay the foundation for building the tour pal's mobile application.In addition, advances in technology bring rapid development of mobile Internet, the LBS (Location Based Service)is a combination of three-dimensional technical theory of time, space and event. In the level of practical significance, geographic information of positioning technology and map databases bring related services, which form services and business industry chain, LBS has a high value in mobile Internet area. By analyzing user experience, interactive behavior of tour pal network, which takes Mofang net for example, considering that there is a lot of room of user experience for improvement, and can do from the breadth and depth of excavation, proposed the project that establishment a tour pal's mobile application of the LBS for the technical support.Empirical research includes qualitative research and quantitative research. Through studying psychology, behavioral characteristics to the target population by the methods of qualitative research, show the result that the potential anxiety, emptiness and loneliness of the modern user is an important reason to find a way to travel to resolve the plight, and the behavior of the tour pal is a way for self-fulfilling; In the tourism website, there are user experience problems, and it's necessary to establish a mobile customer side for tour pal network. Based on the results of the trials, build an AIO model and three personas. Quantitative research show the result that on the tour pal network application user preferences for:①Querying strategy, CYTS, traffic, weather, diet, activities and topics which are being or is about to, people with similar interests.②Share good route, the newly discovered place and route, the distinctive character and scene, mood, travel notes and logs.③Conversating line, assistance, travel tips, interesting characters and scene, equipment borrowing.④The style of interface design preference for fresh and dynamic.According to the results of theoretical analysis and empirical research, take a design practice. Design the content architecture based on application characteristics, by LBS the application divided into three major sections as①Location,②Find,③Me, and do a detailed design to the major sections. Through studying the Android design specification, do the interaction design for the application sections, which detailed in the interface layout and interaction processes. At the same time, study the positioning technology and the map database technology for the application, and feasibility analysis of the Android SDK development platform. Collaborate with the developers to complete the visual component design and demo development. And to the question of homogenization propose three solutions, identify the selling point, and innovative solutions, brand building, shaping the personality. And expand value-added services for applications. And go through the simple task check and UI test for the application, and propose appropriate solutions. By the combination of theoretical analysis, empirical research, and design practice, complete the subject of mobile application development for the tour pal based on LBS for technical support, provides the way to self-seeking method of the tour pal outdoor activities.
