The geographical information providing apparatus checks the format of the received HTTP request message (S420).

The geographical information providing apparatus analyzes the HTTP request message and performs Post Method processing (S430).

The geographical information providing apparatus checks whether the page according to the URL included in the HTTP request message is GetMAP (S440).

Here, GetMAP refers to a map image.

If it is determined in step S440 that the page based on the URL is GetMAP, the geographic information providing apparatus calls the GetMAP page (S450).

The geographical information providing apparatus transmits the GetMAP page to the mobile communication terminal 102 in a response message (S452).

That is, the geographic information providing apparatus calls the map image page.

If it is determined in step S440 that the page according to the URL is not GetMAP, the geographical information providing apparatus checks whether the page according to the URL included in the HTTP request message is a GetPOI (Point Of Interest) (S460).

Here, GetPOI is a list of points of interest.

The geographical information providing apparatus calls the GetPOI page (S462).

That is, the geographic information providing device calls the point of interest list page.

The geographical information providing apparatus transmits the GetPOI page to the mobile communication terminal 102 in response to the response message (S464).

If it is determined in step S460 that the page according to the URL is not GetPOI, the geographical information providing apparatus checks whether the page according to the URL included in the HTTP request message is GetPOIMAP (S470).

Here, GetPOIMAP is a map image corresponding to a specific list of points of interest.

Here, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms that the mobile communication terminal 102 is authenticated when accessing the specific IP band of which the mobile communication terminal 102 is preliminarily registered, or confirms whether the IP of the electronic payment server and the user's authentication URL are already registered, .

As a result of checking in step S520, if the authentication is performed, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether the radar value is extracted from the location information (S530).

As a result of checking in step S530, if the radar value is not extracted from the location information, the geographical information providing device determines that the location information corresponds to the base station information, and the base station radar value (S532).

For example, in the case of a mobile communication terminal without a GPS module, the location of a photographing location is initially set as location information of a connected base station. Therefore, if a geographic information request message is transmitted for the first time after generating photograph or moving image data, There is no value, and only base station information exists. In this case, the geographical information providing apparatus accesses the location-based service providing server 160 to obtain the radius value of the base station. Of course, when the LEO header already includes the value of the base station radius value, it is not necessary to connect to the location-based service providing server 160.

The geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether the map image corresponding to the base station radar value is stored in the map temporary storage unit 142 (S540).

As a result of the determination in S540, if the map image corresponding to the base station radar value is not stored in the map temporary storage unit 142, the geographical information providing apparatus receives the map image corresponding to the base station radar value from the map providing server (S542).

The geographical information providing device constructs the obtained map image as an HTTP response message and transmits it to the mobile communication terminal 102. Here, if the input LEO header does not include the radar value, it connects to the location-based service providing server 160 and acquires the LEO header. In this case, if the newly generated LEO header is included in the HTTP header, the mobile communication terminal that has requested the service modifies and reflects the header of the photo or video content.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a list of points of interest according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The geographical information providing apparatus receives the encrypted point of interest request message from the mobile communication terminal 102, extracts the URL parameter and the HTTP header by analyzing the point of interest request message, decodes the LEO header included in the HTTP header, Information is extracted (S610).

Here, the point of interest request message is a message for requesting a list of points of interest, and the list of points of interest is a list of famous places or buildings around the value of the location of the location included in the LEO header.

Also, the list of points of interest is largely composed of the name of the point of interest and the value of the degree of radiality, but the radial value is deleted when transmitted to the requester (mobile communication terminal). Also, the temporarily stored list of points of interest includes authentication information (LEO-authentication code, UserID, RemoteIP), which enables authentication to be performed when a GetPoiMap is requested.

The geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether the authentication of the mobile communication terminal 102 that transmitted the geographical information request message is performed (S620).

Here, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms that the mobile communication terminal 102 is authenticated when accessing the specific IP band of which the mobile communication terminal 102 is preliminarily registered, or confirms whether the IP of the electronic payment server and the user's authentication URL are already registered, .

If the location information corresponds to the base station information, the geographical information providing apparatus receives the base station radar value corresponding to the base station information from the location-based service providing server, and stores the base station radar value corresponding to the base station radar value It is confirmed whether or not the point list is stored (S630).

That is, when the authentication is permitted, the geographical information providing apparatus searches the interest point temporary storage unit 152 to check whether there is a list of interest points to be stored. If the list of interest points is not stored, Get a list of branches.

If it is determined in step S630 that the list of points of interest corresponding to the base station radar value is not stored in the point of interest temporary storage unit 152, A list of points of interest including a list of famous local information is received (S632).

The geographical information providing device transmits a point of interest response message including the received list of points of interest to the mobile communication terminal 102 (S640).

7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a map image according to a specific point in a list of points of interest according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The geographical information providing apparatus receives the encrypted point of interest request message from the mobile communication terminal 102, extracts the URL parameter and the HTTP header by analyzing the point of interest request message, decodes the LEO header included in the HTTP header, Information is extracted (S710).

If the location information corresponds to the base station information, the geographical information providing apparatus receives the base station radar value corresponding to the base station information from the location-based service providing server, and stores the base station radar value corresponding to the base station radar value It is checked whether the point list is stored (S720).

If it is determined in step S720 that the list of points of interest corresponding to the base station radar value is stored in the point-of-interest temporary storage unit 152, the geographical information providing apparatus determines whether authentication for the mobile communication terminal 102 is performed (S730).

Here, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms that the mobile communication terminal 102 is authenticated when accessing the specific IP band of which the mobile communication terminal 102 is preliminarily registered, or confirms whether the IP of the electronic payment server and the user's authentication URL are already registered, .

Here, the geographical information providing apparatus does not interoperate with the electronic payment server in the authentication process, but instead checks the LEO-authentication code, UserID, RemoteIP, etc. contained in the list of points of interest stored in the point of interest store 152 Allow access. Therefore, if there is no list of points of interest in the point-of-interest temporary storage unit 152, authentication is impossible and the connection is terminated.

As a result of checking in step S730, when the authentication for the mobile communication terminal 102 is performed, when the geographical information providing device receives the map request message for a specific point in the list of points of interest from the mobile communication terminal 102, It is checked whether the map image for a specific point is stored in the storage unit 142 (S740).

If it is determined in step S740 that the map image for the specific point is not stored in the map temporary storage unit 142, the geographical information providing apparatus receives the map image for the specific point from the map providing server in step S742.

That is, when the list of points of interest is found, the geographical information providing apparatus obtains the coordinates of the center of gravity of a specific point out of the list of points of interest selected by the user, searches the map temporary storage unit 142 first, And receives a map image for a specific point.

The geographic information providing apparatus transmits a map response message including a map image for a specific point to the mobile communication terminal 102 (S750).

Also, the map image is transmitted in the same way as GetMap, and the newly generated LEO header is also included in the HTTP header. The user can view the map image and request a GetPoiMap by selecting a new location from the point of interest list if it is not the desired location.

8 is a flowchart illustrating an authentication method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The geographical information providing apparatus receives a signal for requesting a service from the mobile communication terminal 102 and analyzes the signal to check whether the service name is mobile (S810).

In the actual implementation of the present invention, the service name of the electronic payment server may be issued by consultation between providers before the service opening and stored in the authentication database 132, And the authentication URL of the user may also be stored in the authentication database 132. [

If the connection is made before storing the service name, the IP address of the electronic payment server, and the authentication URL of the user in the authentication database 132, it is confirmed that the IP is the electronic payment server. If the electronic settlement server IP is not available, the user of the electronic settlement server may directly request authentication with the geographical information providing apparatus.

If it is determined in step S810 that the terminal that transmitted the signal is mobile, the geographical information providing apparatus determines whether the mobile IP is authenticated (S820).

Here, the mobile IP means the IP bandwidth of the terminal connected to the geographical information providing apparatus.

That is, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms that the mobile IP is authenticated when the terminal that transmitted the signal accesses through the predetermined specific IP band.

For example, step S820 is an authentication method for granting permission for a request through a mobile device, and is a method for a user who downloads and uses a location information providing application for content for which an information usage fee is charged.

If it is determined in step S820 that the mobile IP is not authenticated, the geographical information providing apparatus performs an authentication failure process (step S822).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S810 that the terminal transmitting the signal is not mobile, the geographical information providing apparatus extracts the IP of the electronic payment server and the authentication URL from the authentication database 132 (S830).

The geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether the IP of the electronic payment server is authenticated (S832).

Here, the geographical information providing apparatus may confirm that the IP of the electronic payment server is authenticated when it is registered in advance.

If it is determined in step S832 that the IP of the electronic payment server is not authenticated, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether or not the authentication URL exists (S840).

If it is determined in step S840 that the authentication URL does not exist, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether the mobile IP is authenticated (S842).

Here, the mobile IP means the IP bandwidth of the terminal connected to the geographical information providing apparatus.

That is, the authentication of the user of the electronic payment server requires authentication to the electronic payment server inversely. At this time, the authentication URL and the LEO-authentication code included in the HTTP request message are required. Accordingly, there is an electronic payment server that performs authentication but does not have an authentication URL. In this case, it is checked again whether or not it is a specific IP band according to the flag setting.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S840 that the authentication URL exists, the geographical information providing apparatus confirms whether the authentication URL is authenticated (S844).

If it is determined in step S842 that the mobile IP is not authenticated, if the authentication URL is not authenticated as a result of the determination in step S844, the geographical information providing apparatus fails authentication (step S846).

On the other hand, if the mobile IP is authenticated as a result of the check in step S820, if the IP of the electronic payment server is authenticated as a result of the check in step S832, if the mobile IP is authenticated as a result of the check in step S842, If not authenticated, the geographical information providing apparatus succeeds in authentication (S850).
