Description

Web-based service search and expression method and web platform using GS1 digital link and object name service

The following embodiments relate to a data carrier supporting web address or URL encoding and a web platform including the same as a service point. In particular, a digital carrier including GS1 ID in the form of a Web URL (Uniform Resource Locator) and It relates to a technology for providing a web platform that searches for web services as a service point and expresses additional service information on the web in consideration of country and language.

A data carrier is an image that can be recognized by a machine, such as one- or two-dimensional barcodes, RFID, Bluetooth beacons, Wi-Fi APs (Access Points), and numbers using radio frequencies. and as an intermediate that expresses characters and symbols, etc., data encoded in a data carrier can be read using a scanner.

Service providers encode their product, store, and service information in a data carrier, and use it for product inventory management, logistics, distribution, sales, shop menu boards, advertisements, automatic payment, service guidance, and guidance.

In particular, the technology that encodes a single web URL in a data carrier and connects the user to a single web page is widely used in QR code, Data Matrix, RFID, Bluetooth beacon, etc. There are advantages to using the service as

However, a data carrier supporting single Web URL encoding has a limitation in providing only a single service at a time. To solve this problem, GS1 International Standards Organization standardizes GS1 Digital Link and Object Name Service (ONS) to encode one or more GS1 IDs in one Web URL, WL-codes GS1 IDs. method to provide multiple services at the same time using

The related GS1 ID, GS1 Digital Link, and GS1 Object Name Service terms are described below.

1) GS1 ID Keys (Global Standard 1 Identification keys)

GS1 is a non-profit international standards organization that provides GS1 ID, an international identifier standard to improve the efficiency and visibility of global production, logistics, distribution and consumption chains. Representative examples of the GS1 ID standard include GTIN barcodes used in shops, GLNs that specify places such as shops and warehouses, and GRAI, GIAI, GSRN used to manage assets and personnel in hospitals. The international standard code system as exemplified in Table 1 is defined up to service relationship. Each code system is identified using an Application Identifier (AI), and Table 1 below describes the types of GS1 IDs, application identifiers, places of use, and examples of use.

[Table 1]

GS1 ID is basically composed of GS1 prefix, company prefix, and reference number. The GS1 prefix can be assigned through the GS1 global office and is a code that can distinguish each country. Company prefix can be allocated through GS1 member organizations of countries that have joined GS1, and this is a code that can identify the allocated organizations, such as companies and organizations. A reference number is a code that identifies the type of each object (12 kinds of things, places, services, etc.). GS1 provides additional object identification and object information by proposing an additional application identifier to the basic configuration of GS1 ID. As a representative example, Serial/extension number application identifier to identify individual objects, Bat to identify batch/lot number of objects /lot number There are application identifiers such as NetWeight, Quantity, and Expiry data that provide application identifier, object weight, quantity, and expiration date information. Each company can identify and operate products and services globally by allocating GS1 ID including its Company Prefix to tangible and intangible objects.

2) GS1 Digital Link (Global Standard 1 Digital link, GS1 Digital Link)

GS1 has defined GS1 Digital Link, a web-based GS1 ID information retrieval method, in order to improve the user's service experience through the user's mobile phone. Just as a web address (Web URL) links a user to a specific website, a GS1 Digital Link is an additional identifier defined by GS1 including the GS1 ID and the GS1 ID’s additional identifier (Serial/extension number) in the web URL. ), and connect the user to the GS1 ID service by encoding an additional query. In addition, GS1 Digital Link is designed to solve the problem that existing data carriers (barcode, QR code, RFID, data matrix, etc.) could only connect a single service to an object through a single Web URL. A method of connecting additional services using a query string was standardized.

GS1 Digital Link is basically composed of Hostname, Path information, and Query string. Hostname indicates the high-level address of the service, and basically indicates the high-level address of the server operated by the service provider. Path information indicates the sub-address of the server, and is used to encode additional identifiers including 12 basic identifiers of GS1 ID and Serial/Extension numbers. Query string represents additional information and is used to encode additional information (quantity, weight, expiration date, etc.) about the GS1 ID. Finally, linkType is provided as a type of query string, and linkType is used to indicate the type of encoded Web URL.

However, GS1 Digital Link can only access additional information about the GS1 ID by using a sub-address/additional query (path information/query string) on a server (hostname) operated by a specific service provider, You cannot access additional information about the same GS1 ID that exists on a server (hostname) operated by another service provider. In other words, only services that exist in the server pointed to by the encoded Web URL can be searched, and services that exist in servers with other hostnames cannot be searched for. Although GS1 Digital Link can be redirected to various servers, it is mainly related to production, distribution and logistics consumption, and cannot connect various other services.

3) GS1 Object Name Service (Global Standard 1 Object Name Service, GS1 ONS)

GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) is a name that provides a method for globally registering, discovering, and accessing services related to the object based on the GS1 identifier assigned to the object. service technology. It works based on the DNS (Domain Name System) technology, and the ONS client converts the GS1 ID into a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) form, contains the necessary data, and queries the existing DNS network to be hierarchically distributed. Enables to receive NAPTR-type service endpoint Web URL and XML-type service endpoint type description document (ServiceType.XML) stored in the Root ONS and Local ONS servers. In the ONS client, not only the GS1 ID, but also the service access country and the language information of the ONS client are included so that the user can request and receive service type description information and endpoints in a format suitable for the user.

However, the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) requires the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) application to convert the GS1 ID into an FQDN and execute a NAPTR type query. Since the user must install the application to use the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS), there is a limitation in accessibility to use. In addition, ServiceType.XML, which stores the description information of the service type provided in the searched service endpoint Web URL, does not contain user-friendly information such as service name and service image. , there is a limitation in not being able to show service images, etc. Lastly, the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) enables service search up to the reference number stage, which is a reference number that identifies the types of objects of GS1 ID, and Serial/Extension number, which is an additional identifier of GS1 ID that identifies each object individually. There is a limitation in that service search for , lot number, etc. is impossible.

Korean Patent No. 10-2054595 relates to a wireless access point using the GS1 ID as identification information and a smart city platform including the same as a service point. It describes an AP and a technology related to a smart city platform including it as a service point.

The information described above is for understanding only, and may include content that does not form a part of the prior art, and may not include what the prior art can present to a person skilled in the art.

Meanwhile, the web-based service search and expression platform 500 may be configured in a web server on which the web-based service search and expression platform is executed.

4a and 4b, in step S110, the query unit 510 based on the GS1 ID and additional identifier encoded in the GS1 digital link (GS1 Digital Link) based on the web-based service search and expression platform 500 A query can be executed from the running web server to the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) server.

Here, the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) server searches for information and services related to the received GS1 code, and retrieves information about the object and/or information required to generate a list of the services, a web-based service search and It can be delivered to a web server on which the expression platform 500 is executed.

When the web-based service search and expression platform 500 includes at least one GS1 ID, the query unit 510 may simultaneously extract a plurality of GS1 IDs, and the GS1 object name The service (GS1 ONS) server may search for services of a service provider for a plurality of GS1 IDs.

As an example, the query unit 510 is a GS1 object name service (linkType) in the link type of the query string to connect the GS1 Digital Link to the web-based service search and expression platform 500 ( GS1 ONS) type “?linkType=ONS” is set, and the GS1 ID is retrieved from the GS1 Digital Link using the web-based service search and expression platform 500 connected through “?linkType=ONS”. can be extracted.

Accordingly, the information search unit 520 may search for services of a plurality of service providers registered in the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) server using the extracted GS1 ID.

Meanwhile, the web-based service search and expression platform 500 may be implemented without linkType=ONS. That is, it is possible to connect to ONS by default without including the GS1 Digital Link connection. In this case, if there is no linkType, the service appears by putting the parsed code in the web server where the web-based service search and expression platform 500 runs, without obtaining a GS1 ID and creating a web URL through another parsing. can make it

In addition, when the extracted GS1 ID has an additional identifier including a serial/extension number, the information search unit 520 additionally searches for a service of a service provider associated with the additional identifier registered in the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) server. and a service search result for GS1 ID, which is a higher identifier, may be included.

In step S120 , the information retrieval unit 520 may retrieve the service endpoint Web URL and service type description document of the service provider associated with the GS1 ID and additional identifier from the GS1 object name service (GS1 ONS) server.
