In the present specification, the point of interest may mean a point including the main facilities on the map, and in particular, may mean a place-based recommendation target such as a gourmet shop or a popular place.

An embodiment of the present invention seeks to build a model in a location recommendation service platform that certifies a user's visit based on a receipt for a point of interest and rewards the user's review for which the visit has been proven. Is.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of components that can be included in the processor of the server in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a block diagram of what the server executes in one embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which showed the example of the possible method.

The server 150 according to the present embodiment may provide a reward to the user review of the point of interest by realizing the reward model in the place recommendation service. As an example, the server 150 may serve as a platform for providing a location recommendation service to a plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, 140 which are clients. The server 150 may provide a location recommendation service for a point of interest by interlocking with an application installed in the electronic devices 110, 120, 130, 140. The location recommendation service platform is for registering points of interest, providing points of interest (recommendations, displays, advertisements, etc.), matching between target elements for points of interest, aligning points of interest, charging by providing points of interest, and reviewing points of interest. It may mean a server system that executes revenue sharing and the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the processor 222 of the server 150 has a visit certification unit 310, an information collection unit 320, a location recommendation unit 330, and a reward provision unit 340 as components for executing the reward provision method according to FIG. May be equipped. In some embodiments, the components of processor 222 may be selectively included or excluded from processor 222. Also, depending on the embodiment, the components of processor 222 may be separated or merged to represent the functionality of processor 212.

Such a processor 222 and components of the processor 222 may control the server 150 to perform steps 410-440 included in the reward providing method of FIG. For example, the processor 222 and the components of the processor 222 may be implemented to execute an instruction by the code of the operating system included in the memory 221 and the code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 222 may be representations of different functions executed by the processor 222 according to the instructions provided by the program code recorded in the server 150. For example, the visit proof unit 310 may be used as a functional representation of the processor 222 that controls the server 150 according to the instructions described above so that the server 150 certifies the user's visit to the point of interest.

The processor 222 may read the necessary instructions from the memory 221 in which the instructions related to the control of the server 150 are loaded. In this case, the read instruction may include an instruction for controlling the processor 222 to execute steps 410 to 440 described below.

At step 410, the visit proof unit 310 may read the receipt for the point of interest to prove the user's visit. The user may provide, that is, upload the receipt issued at the point of interest to the service platform by taking a picture with a camera or the like. In other words, the user may upload the receipt image taken in advance or the receipt image acquired in real time by shooting to the server 150. As a result, the visit certification unit 310 may certify the confirmation of the user visit to the point of interest by reading the uploaded receipt and confirming the user visit to the specified point of interest from the read result. As an example, the visit certification unit 310 may provide a character reading function (for example, OCR (optical character reader)), and by using the character reading function, information about a point of interest is extracted from the uploaded receipt. Then, the user visit of the relevant point of interest may be confirmed. At this time, the visit proof unit 310 may confirm that the user himself / herself visited in the visit proof carried out based on the receipt, and may recognize that the visit is valid only for the person himself / herself. The method of confirming that the visit is the person himself / herself will be described in detail below.

At step 420, the information gathering unit 320 may collect the information extracted from the receipt as review information of the points of interest visited by the user. The information gathering unit 320 may record and retain the review information of the point of interest in the database on the platform by matching the corresponding receipt image with the user information that uploaded the receipt image. The information collecting unit 320 may acquire review information including interest point information, visit information, menu information, etc. from the receipt provided by the user. The review information may include not only the information extracted from the receipt but also the information on the Internet related to the information extracted from the receipt. For example, when the point of interest is a restaurant, the point of interest information may include basic information such as the restaurant name (trade name), telephone number, address, and industry, and the visit information includes the date and time when the user visited the restaurant and the visit. The menu information may include the number of people information and the like, and the menu information may include the quantity and price information for each menu ordered by the user, the total payment amount, and the like. Based on the information obtained from the receipt, the information collection unit 320 confirms in real time whether the relevant point of interest is the place registered on the platform, and provides the user with the presence or absence of registration and the reward level. good.

The server 150 may build and hold the industry, address, telephone number, menu, price for each menu, etc. of the point of interest registered in advance on the platform in the database on the platform, and uses the information collected from the receipt. The existing information on the database may be updated or new information may be registered, and the review aggregation may be processed. For example, the server 150 may update the information on the database by using the information on the point of interest to acquire the type of business at the relevant position, whether or not the telephone number has been changed, and the like. Further, the server 150 may aggregate records related to points of interest (for example, the number of visitors, the current sales status, the order of sales by menu, etc.) by accumulating the information collected from the receipt. Further, if the interest point information collected from the receipt does not exist in the database, the server 150 may register the relevant interest point as a new interest point. A menu list for each point of interest will be maintained in the database on the platform, but similarly, if the menu information collected from the receipt does not exist, it can be registered as a new menu. It is possible.

The server 150 may collect evaluation information (for example, scores, comments, photographs, etc.) for each point of interest for service users. At this time, a weighted value may be applied to the evaluation information of the user whose visit confirmation is proved from the receipt and reflected on the platform. The server 150 will provide the evaluation information of the point of interest to the service user, but at this time, in the case of the evaluation information of the user whose visit confirmation is proved from the receipt, the evaluation information is separated from the other evaluation information. May be displayed.

At step 430, the location recommendation unit 330 may generate and recommend a list of points of interest that includes at least one point of interest. The place recommendation unit 330 may issue a list of points of interest including at least one of the points of interest visited by the user according to the request of the user, and may use the list of points of interest issued by the user as a service. It may be recommended in the form of content that can be subscribed to by a person. Further, the place recommendation unit 330 may recommend a point of interest such as a specific purpose or theme to the service user based on the record related to the point of interest. For example, the profile information of a user who has been proven to visit a point of interest (eg, age, gender, place of residence, interests, etc.) can be used as reference data for recommendation, and based on this, a "date place" or "date place" can be used on the platform. You may recommend points of interest for a variety of purposes, such as "family dining out". Further, the place recommendation unit 330 can also recommend the "popular menu" of the relevant point of interest based on the record of each menu of the point of interest, for example, the sales order of each menu.

At stage 440, the reward provider 340 may provide a reward to the user who generated the relevant point of interest list based on the subscription and review information of the point of interest list. As an example, the reward provider 340 may grant the copyright to the creator of the interest point list consisting of the interest points visited by the user, and other users' subscriptions to the interest point list, the number of subscribers, and the like. A portion of the revenue from the platform may be distributed over a period of time to the copyrighted users of the list of interests, taking into account reviews from subscriber visits to the points of interest. The specific methods and processes for providing rewards based on subscriptions to the list of points of interest and review information will be described in detail below. In addition, the reward providing department 340 will give a part of the profit for a certain part obtained from the platform to the user who first registered the review information based on the receipt for the points of interest that are not registered on the platform. It is also possible to distribute over a period. The percentage of revenue sharing and the revenue sharing period may be determined according to the extent to which the user contributes to the platform, for example, the more copyrighted users have a list of points of interest, or the more subscribers to the list of points of interest. The more users there are, the more revenue may be distributed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of a process of generating a list of points of interest.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user_A (510) may upload the receipt of the point of interest POI_1 visited by the user_A (510) to the location recommendation service platform 550 in the form of an image file taken by a camera or the like. By uploading the receipt, it may be proved that the user_A (510) has visited the point of interest POI_1.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may read the receipt of the point of interest POI_1 uploaded by the user_A (510) and acquire the review information including the point of interest information, the visit information, and the menu information from the read result.

The location recommendation service platform 550 may record the review information of the point of interest POI_1 that has been proven to be visited by user_A (510), matching it with the identification information and receipt image file of user_A (510).

The location recommendation service platform 550 may use the review information obtained from the receipt uploaded by the user_A (510) in recommending the point of interest POI_1 to the service user.

The location recommendation service platform 550 may provide a reward to user_A (510) who has registered review information by uploading a receipt for point of interest POI_1. In particular, the location recommendation service platform 550 may distribute a portion of the platform's revenue to user_A (510) who first registered the review information if the point of interest POI_1 is a point of interest that does not exist on the platform. ..

The location recommendation service platform 550 may generate at least one point of interest whose visit has been proven by a receipt as a point of interest list 501 and publish it as a subscribeable list, at the request of user_A (510). The point of interest list 501 is composed of points of interest (eg, POI_1 to POI_1) that are either directly selected by user_A (510) or classified by predetermined criteria (location, industry, recent review order, etc.). You can do it.

The location recommendation service platform 550 may grant the copyright, which is the right of the point of interest list 501, to the user_A (510) who issued the point of interest list 501. The rights recognition period of the point of interest list 501 is set to a predetermined fixed period (for example, one year), and the reward may be provided to the user_A (510) during the corresponding period.

The location recommendation service platform 550 may recommend a point of interest list 501 for service users, and the service user may subscribe to the point of interest list 501.

Therefore, when the user_A (510) takes a receipt of the point of interest visited by the user and uploads it to the place recommendation service platform 550, the place recommendation service platform 550 transfers the information extracted from the receipt to the user_A (). It is possible to automatically record as review information of the points of interest visited by 510) and generate a list of points of interest 501 to be disclosed to the outside based on the list of points of interest in which the review information is recorded.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining an example of a process of rewarding a list generator based on a subscription to a list of points of interest and review information.

Referring to FIG. 6, user_B (620) may subscribe to the point of interest list 501 generated by user_A (510) on the location recommendation service platform 550.

User_B (620) is interested by uploading a receipt for a point of interest included in the point of interest list 501 issued by user_A (510), eg, POI_2, to the location recommendation service platform 550. You may prove that you have visited point POI_2.

Similarly, the location recommendation service platform 550 may read the receipt of the point of interest POI_2 uploaded by the user_B (620) and acquire the review information including the point of interest information, the visit information, and the menu information from the reading result. ..

The location recommendation service platform 550 may use the review information obtained from the receipt uploaded by the user_B (620) in recommending the point of interest POI_2 to the service user.

Proving that user_B (620) has visited the point of interest list 501 generated by user_A (510) by uploading a receipt, user_A (510)'s rights to that list 501. A portion of the revenue generated by the location recommendation service platform 550 during the period of accreditation may be distributed to user_A (510) to provide a reward for the point of interest list 501.

User_B (620), whose visit was proved by uploading a receipt to the point of interest list 501 generated by user_A (510), is also given revenue sharing as a reward for the visit review of point of interest POI_2. You can do it.

Therefore, user_B (620) subscribes to the point of interest list 501 issued by user_A (510) and uploads a receipt for the point of interest contained in the list 501 that he is subscribing to for a visit review. Can be left. As a result, the location recommendation service platform 550 provides the user_A (510) who is the generator of the interest point list 501 subscribed by the user_B (620) with the reward by the subscription and the visit review of the user_B (620). be able to.

The above describes a reward model that combines subscriptions to a list of interests and visit reviews, but is not limited to this, and rewards for subscriptions and visit reviews can be provided separately. It is possible.

The location recommendation service platform 550 may distribute the revenue of the platform generated by the advertisement to the interest point as an example of the revenue distribution, and in another example, the manager of the interest point for the reward given to the list generator. (For example, the business owner) may sponsor and provide a certain amount of compensation.

Hereinafter, a method for confirming the visit of the user himself / herself will be described.

The process of confirming the user's visit is included in the above-mentioned step 410 and may be executed by the visit certification unit 310.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the process of confirming the visit of the user himself / herself.

Referring to FIG. 8, in step 801 the visit certification unit 310 receives EXIF (exifable image file format) information included in the receipt image file when the receipt image file is uploaded from the user terminal, for example, the electronic device 110. You may get the terminal information from. EXIF information is a video file format used for cameras, and includes basic information such as camera model name and shooting display level, as well as position and space such as latitude / longitude coordinates, altitude, and shooting azimuth. It may contain information.

At step 802, the visit certification unit 310 compares the terminal information acquired from the receipt image file with the terminal information of the actual electronic device 110 to which the receipt image file is uploaded, and determines whether or not the terminal information matches. It may be determined whether the visit is for the person himself / herself. When the receipt image file is uploaded, the visit certification unit 310 compares the terminal information that captured the receipt with the terminal information that actually uploaded the receipt, and if they match each other, the uploaded receipt is displayed. It may be determined that the receipt was taken by the user himself / herself, and it may be determined that the receipt was made by the user himself / herself.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of the process of confirming the visit of the user himself / herself.

Referring to FIG. 9, in step 901, when the receipt image file is uploaded from the electronic device 110, the visit certification unit 310 receives the position information at the time of shooting the corresponding image from the receipt image file, that is, the receipt shooting position. May be obtained. As an example, the visit certification unit 310 may acquire the location information tagged in the receipt image file or the location information included in the EXIF information of the receipt image file.

At step 902, the visit certification unit 310 may extract information about the point of interest from the receipt by reading the uploaded receipt image file using the character reading function, and uses the information extracted from the receipt. The location information of the point of interest and the visit time may be obtained. In other words, the visit certification unit 310 may obtain the address of the point of interest and the visit time from the result of reading the receipt.

At step 903, when the receipt shooting position is near the address of the point of interest extracted from the receipt, the visit certification unit 310 uses the position record collected from the electronic device 110 to visit the point of interest for a certain period of time. It may be determined whether there is a history in which the position information of the electronic device 110 is located within a certain radius of the position information of the point of interest before and after. At this time, if the location record of the electronic device 110 has a history corresponding to the receipt information, the visit certification unit 310 may prove that the receipt is a visit by the user himself / herself. In other words, the visit certification unit 310 has a history that the user was located near the POI location indicated on the receipt within a certain period of time (for example, 1 hour) before and after the time indicated on the receipt. In this case, it may be determined that the visit is the user himself / herself by determining that the point of interest is actually visited by the user.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the visit proof based on the receipt, by confirming that the user himself / herself visited and recognizing that the visit is valid only for the person's visit, the misuse of the visit proof using the receipt is effective. Can be prevented.

Further, the server 150 may use the receipt information uploaded by the user and automatically tag the other photos uploaded by the user with the related points of interest information.

It is assumed that the record of the user uploading the receipt is recorded and retained on the platform, confirming the user's visit to the uploaded receipt. The server 150 is already uploaded by the same user when the user uploads another photo from within the same domain as the location recommendation service or from a related service (social networking service, data cloud service, etc.) that can work with the location recommendation service. You may automatically tag the relevant photo with the point of interest information on your receipt. As an example, if the server 150 compares the terminal information for which the receipt was taken with the terminal information for which another photo was taken and determines that they are the same, or (deep learning on the platform or existing information). (Assuming that the user information that uploaded the receipt by using it is recognized) If the user who uploaded the receipt is included in another photo, the location information included in the EXIF information of the other photo and already uploaded You may check the information of the point of interest on the receipt and record the information of the point of interest mapped to the corresponding photo.

The point of interest information automatically mapped to another photo using the receipt information can be used in the photo search, and may be provided as a search result of the corresponding point of interest for the photo at the time of search.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the user uploads a photo from the place recommendation service or another service that can be linked with the place recommendation service, the receipt information already uploaded by the same user is used to obtain the point of interest information. Can be automatically tagged to the corresponding photo, which can be used when searching for photos.
