In addition, the beacon interlocking application 200 transmits the user identification information of the smart terminal 201 to the contents market server 300. The user identification information is information enabling the content market server 300 to identify the user of the smart terminal 201, that is, the passenger, as the telephone number of the smart terminal 201 or the user ID of the beacon linked application 200 .

Step S150: The content market server 300 operates in cooperation with the public transport information management server 400. The beacon terminal 100 is operated in cooperation with the public traffic information management server 400, The PTIS information such as the vehicle ID, the real time vehicle location, the vehicle route, the stopping point on the vehicle route, the vehicle arrival time, and the like are provided from the public transportation information management server 400.

Step S160: When the contents market server 300 receives the unique identification information from the beacon interlocking application 200, the holder of the smart terminal 201 in which the beacon interlocking application 200 is installed is notified to the specific public transportation vehicle 101, And is recognized as being on board. Accordingly, the content market server 300 sets the connection permission of the smart terminal 201 to the digital content market based on the user identification information provided by the beacon interlocking application 200. As a result, the user of the smart terminal 201 can use various digital contents provided by the digital contents market through the beacon interlocking application 200 or the media application linked to the digital contents market.

Step S170: When the contents market server 300 receives the PTIS information from the public transportation information management server 400, the contents market server 300 derives the PTIS-based boarding information from the information. That is, PTIS-based boarding information such as interest stopping information based on the real time vehicle location, route information, estimated arrival time for a specific target stop designated by the passenger, boarding time information of the passenger, and the like are derived. The contents market server 300 provides the PTIS-based boarding information to the beacon interlocking application 200 so that it can be viewed by the passenger on the screen of the smart terminal 201. [

Step S180: The content market server 300 provides the access permission information for the digital content market to the beacon linked application 200, and the smart terminal 201 accesses the digital content market and receives the digital content.

Step S190: On the other hand, the smart terminal 201 uploads and stores the digital contents received from the digital contents market in a streaming or downloading manner to the cloud storage 500 of the preset personal account as the connection to the digital contents market is permitted It is possible to collect contents according to their own preferences and to enjoy them later.

7 is a flowchart showing a process when a passenger gets off the public transport vehicle 101 in a method of providing a beacon-based content market service according to the present invention.

S200 and S210: When the passenger carrying the smart terminal 201 gets off the public transport vehicle 101, the smart terminal 201 goes beyond the effective coverage of the beacon terminal 100. [ Accordingly, the beacon interlocking application 200 recognizes the reception stop of the unique identification information through the beacon unique signal, and immediately provides the reception stop event of the unique identification information to the contents market server 300.

Step S220 and S230: When the content market server 300 receives the reception stop event from the specific beacon linked application 200, the content market server 300 interprets that the passenger has gotten off and permits the access of the smart terminal 201 to the digital content market Lt; / RTI > Accordingly, the user of the smart terminal 201 can not use the digital contents provided by the digital contents market. At this time, it is possible to set a little grace time (for example, 1 minute) in consideration of the possibility of malfunction of the beacon terminal 100 and the beacon linked application 200 and the cloud upload opportunity described later.

Step S240: The content market server 300 is interlocked with the communication company server of the smart terminal 201 so that the smart terminal 201 receives digital contents from the digital contents market in the previous step S180 The user does not have to pay the network cost (for example, the mobile communication data fee) while boarding the public transportation vehicle 101, and actually uses the digital contents market free or at a very low price .

Steps S250 and S260: A case in which a passenger carrying the smart terminal 201 boarded the same or a different public transportation vehicle 101 will be described below. At this time, the beacon interlocking application 200 identifies the existence of the unique identification information transmitted by the beacon terminal 100 installed in the vehicle 101. Accordingly, the beacon interlocking application 200 detects that the corresponding user It is recognized as being on board.

Step S270: If the beacon interlocking application 200 recognizes that the beacon interlocking application 200 is on board the public transportation, the smart terminal 201 can reproduce the digital contents uploaded and stored in the cloud storage 500 of the personal account in step S190 . At this time, it is preferable that the vehicle is not the same vehicle as the uploading to the cloud storage 500, or even the same kind of public transportation means, but only a public transportation vehicle is sufficient.
