First, in step S101, the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting apparatus 210 receives a radio signal which is adjacent to the collecting apparatus 210 according to a near field communication protocol or periodically or non-periodically from the collecting apparatus 210 or the mobile terminal 100 do. Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 210 measures or determines the identifier of the corresponding collecting device 210 or the mobile terminal 100 and the signal strength for the radio signal in the received radio signal.

The mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 210 that has received the radio signal determines whether the mobile terminal 100 is set to determine whether or not to board the mobile terminal 100 (S103). For example, the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 210 may set such a determination in advance in the form of setting of the program, or set or cancel the determination of whether or not to board in accordance with the received setting command from the server 300 Lt; / RTI >

If the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 210 determines whether or not to board, it is determined in step S105 which device determines whether to board or not. That is, the mobile terminal 100 determines whether it is recognized by the recognition or collection device 210, and then proceeds to step S107 or step S109 according to the determination.

Here, steps S103, S105, and the like may be preset in the form of setting of the program, or may be set according to reception from the server 300, so that the configuration of each mobile terminal 100 and the collection device 210 May be set according to the characteristics of the block (such as when there is no specific block).

If it is determined by the collecting apparatus 210 that the wireless signal is received by the collecting apparatus 210 and the collecting apparatus 210 determines that the collecting apparatus 210 is to be routed, the receiving apparatus 210 further receives one or more wireless signals from the adjacent one or more mobile terminals 100 do.

Accordingly, the specific mobile terminal 100 may initially have a strong signal strength but may be located at a distance where reception of a subsequent radio signal is weak or can not receive signal strength, The radio signal received from the mobile terminal 100 on the mobile means 200 of the mobile station 200 may have a strength of a certain (within a specified range) signal strength and / or a strong signal strength of more than a specified strength.

Accordingly, the collecting device 210 determines the mobile terminal 100 having a predetermined signal strength or a predetermined signal intensity or more among the radio signals received from the plurality of mobile terminals 100, (210).

Further, the collecting device 210 may use the location information to determine the boarding, and the location information may be the location information received from the mobile terminal 100 or the location information determined by the collecting device 210.

For example, in the case where the position information (coordinate information) is changed, the collecting device 210 may collect the signal strength of the radio signal from the specific mobile terminal 100 100) can be determined to be on board.

If the mobile terminal 100 determines that the mobile terminal 100 is to be boarded, the mobile terminal 100 further receives one or more radio signals from the at least one collecting device 210 in step S109, Or the collecting device 210 of the moving means 200 can be determined.

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may be adjacent to the collecting device 210 of a plurality of moving means 200 and may be carried on one of the moving means 200. Accordingly, the signal strengths of the wireless signals from the collecting devices 210 collected a plurality of times may be different from each other, and the wireless signal collecting device 210 corresponding to a predetermined signal intensity or a predetermined signal strength or more may be carried It can be determined as the moving means 200 having the moving means.

Further, the mobile terminal 100 may determine the boarding by further using the location information, and the location information may be location information determined by the mobile terminal 100 or position information received from the collection device 210. [

For example, when the position information (coordinate information) changes (for example, when the coordinates change over a specified distance), the mobile terminal 100 determines that the signal strength of the radio signal from the specific collection device 210 is It can be determined that the mobile terminal 100 is boarding the moving means 200 corresponding to the specific collecting device 210 when the mobile terminal 100 is continuously maintained for a predetermined range or a specified signal strength.

In step S111, the collecting device 210 and / or the mobile terminal 100 transmits identification information including an identifier of the collecting device 210, which allows the mobile terminal 100 and the mobile device 200 to be identified, (300).

The server 300 receives the identification information of the mobile terminal 100 from the communication network 400 and the identification information of the collection device 210 from the mobile terminal 100 or the collection device 210 in step S113, The packet is then received via the mobile communication network via a wired network (by converting it into a wired data packet). The information thus received may be periodically received from the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 210.

The information included in the wireless data packet may further include location information (generated or measured by the mobile terminal 100 or the collection device 210). This location information allows the mobile terminal 100 to know the movement path.

The identification information of the received information includes the identification information (identifier) automatically extracted from the wireless signal according to the short-range wireless communication protocol by the mobile means or the mobile terminal without involvement by the user.

Thereafter, in step S115, it is determined whether or not the server 300 determines whether or not the vehicle is occupied. If the determination is made by the server 300, the process proceeds to step S117. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S119.

The determination in step S115 may differ depending on the type of collecting apparatus 210 and each mobile terminal 100 (for example, whether or not the second wireless interface unit 130, 213 exists) The types of the collection device 210 and the mobile terminal 100 may be set in advance in the entries of the user DB 343 or the movement DB 341. [

The information thus set can be configured to be transmitted to each of the collection devices 210 and the mobile terminal 100 or set upon loading or setting of the programs of the respective collection device 210 or the mobile terminal 100.

Then, in step S117, in order to determine the moving means 200 that is more specifically mounted or to be boarded (to receive the wireless data packet by the mobile terminal 100) to identify the adjacent mobile means 200 And receives the identification information of the mobile terminal 100 and the identification information of the collection device 210 from the mobile terminal 100 or the collection device 210 one or more times.

The step S117 may be performed, for example, by receiving the information transmitted by the mobile terminal 100 and / or the collecting device 210 through steps S101 and S111.

Thereafter, in step S119, the server 300 determines whether the mobile terminal 100 is adjacent or on the board using the identification information of the mobile unit 200 (specifically, the collecting unit 210) included in the received information, Thereby identifying the moving means 200.

Since the information received through step S107 or step S109 includes the identification information of the collecting device 210, which can already identify the moving device 200, extracts the corresponding identification information from the received information, It is possible to easily identify the corresponding moving means 200 by searching for the entry of the moving object 341.

If it is determined in step S119 that the received information is not the information received in step S107 or step S109, the server 300 determines whether the mobile terminal 100 has moved to the adjacent mobile unit 200 using the plurality of pieces of information received in step S117. The mobile terminal 100 can identify the moving means 200 to which the mobile terminal 100 is to be boarded or the moving means 200 that is currently boarded.

The plurality of pieces of information may include information on signal strength measured from the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 200, (200) and the like can be easily identified.

The identification of the mobile device 200 in this step S119 may differ depending on the device from which the received information is received and is, for example, information received from the mobile terminal 100, The mobile terminal 100 can identify the collecting device 210 on which the mobile terminal 100 is mounted or adjacent and identifies the moving means 200 by performing the same or similar operations on the plurality of pieces of received information as in step S109.

If it is the information received from the collection device 210, this step S119 carries out the same operations as in step S107 for the received plurality of pieces of information, so that the moving means 200 corresponding to the collection device 210, To identify the collecting device 210 and to identify the moving means 200 accordingly.

Accordingly, as described above in step S107 or S109, the signal strength information included in the plurality of pieces of information is used to identify the collecting device 210 on which the mobile terminal is boarding, and the moving means 200 corresponding thereto, It is possible to identify the moving means 200 according to the positional change of the positional information by further utilizing the positional information included in the plurality of pieces of information.

This step S119 allows the user to easily identify the moving means 200 by searching for the entry of the user DB 343 of the server 300 and the moving means DB 341 using the identifier of the received information, .

If the boarding is not identified or a request for selection of the moving means 200 to be loaded from the mobile terminal 100 is received from the mobile terminal 100, the moving means 200 included in the received information, It is possible to determine whether the identifier exists in the moving means DB 341 by using the identifier of the collecting device 210 and transmit the guidance message to the mobile terminal 100.

The server 300 transmits a guidance message (such as a vehicle number or the like) to the registered other terminal included in the entry of the user DB 343 in step S121, And the like).

Thereafter, the server 300 periodically receives information from the mobile terminal 100 identified as boarding the moving means 200 or from the collecting apparatus 210, and transmits the position information included in the received information to the user DB (343) or the movement path entry of the entry of the movement means DB (341).

Then, the server 300 determines the getting off of the vehicle in a manner similar to the method (S117, S107, S109) used at the time of boarding in step S123, and periodically obtains the information from the mobile terminal 100 or the collecting device 210 It is determined whether the identifier of the collecting device 210 corresponding to the mobile device 200 determined to be boarded is included in the received information or whether the identifier of the mobile terminal 100 determined as the boarding is included in the received information, Is less than or equal to the designated signal strength.
