Here, the UI screen is a configuration for an interface with the user and may include an input interface for receiving user input and an output interface for displaying information (eg, control information) according to the user input.

The processor 150 can control specific operations by executing an application stored in the memory 110. Here, the application may include a map application, calendar application, reminder application, etc.

The processor 150 may execute a map application and display a UI screen including a map area and a certain area on the display 130. According to one example, when the schedule creation button is touched while the map application is running, the processor 150 may display a UI screen on the display 130 that includes a map area at the top and a schedule area at the bottom.

When the user touches a schedule area, the processor 150 may display a UI window asking whether to create a new schedule, and display buttons for selecting the start date and end date of the schedule to be created on the display 130. Additionally, the processor 150 may also display a button on the display 130 to select whether the user will directly create a schedule or retrieve a schedule from a linked calendar.

If a method of retrieving the schedule of the linked calendar according to the first user command is selected, the user's schedule information received from the calendar server 10 can be displayed in a certain area. For example, when the method of importing the schedule of a linked calendar is selected, a list of schedules with start and end times set among the schedules for the date set by the user in the schedule DB stored in the pre-linked calendar application is displayed in the map application. It can be transmitted and displayed. In this case, each item in the list can be selected, allowing the user to select only the items they want to write in a certain area. According to one example, the schedule list may be sorted by date and then sorted in ascending order based on start time. In this case, a rectangular area may be displayed in the schedule table according to the start and end times set for each schedule.

Additionally, the processor 150 may display a location corresponding to the user's schedule information on the map area. For example, the map application can access the map DB of the management server 200 and search for location information pre-entered in each schedule using a location search module. Subsequently, the map application may refer to the location coordinates obtained as a search result and display the location corresponding to the map area of the map application with an identification code such as a dot. In this case, the map application can correct the location of a place that the user determines to be inaccurate or a place that is missing because it was not pre-entered. Additionally, in the map application, when a user searches for a new place, a list of new place information is displayed in the map DB of the management server 200 on the map application screen, and the user can select one of them.

Additionally, the processor 150 may transmit a schedule list included in a schedule area to the management server 200 according to a second user command. According to one example, when the user touches the schedule route guidance button, the schedule list included in the schedule area may be transmitted from the user terminal 100 to the management server 200.

The management server 200 obtains first schedule information of the same date and second schedule information following the first schedule information based on the schedule list received from the user terminal, and first location information corresponding to the first schedule information. , Shortest route information may be obtained based on the second location information corresponding to the second schedule information, the end time of the first schedule information, and traffic information, and transmitted to the user terminal 100.

According to one example, the management server 200 may extract only specific schedules for which a later schedule exists on the same date and execute a shortest route guidance program that sets the end time of the specific schedule as the departure time.

Additionally, the management server 200 can obtain the shortest path information by considering the optimal time zone. According to one embodiment, when a path corresponding to a spare route is selected in a certain area, the user terminal 100 displays a UI window to inquire whether to recommend an optimal time zone, and provides information on the spare route according to a third user command. Information may be transmitted to the management server 200. In this case, when the management server 200 receives information about the spare route from the user terminal 100, it departs at the end time of the preceding schedule based on traffic information for the most recent critical time period (for example, the last 4 weeks). A plurality of first routes based on time (for example, a route calculated from the traffic information of each state) and a plurality of second routes whose arrival time is the start time of the later schedule (for example, a route calculated from the traffic information of each state) ) can be obtained. Subsequently, the management server 200 may obtain shortest path information by comparing the average time required for the plurality of first paths and the average time required for the plurality of second paths.

In this case, the management server 200 enlarges the minimum size rectangular area including the path line contained within the spare path by a preset multiple (for example, 1.5 times) horizontally and vertically, respectively, and sets the latest threshold corresponding to the inner area. A plurality of first routes and a plurality of second routes may be obtained based on traffic information for the time section.

Subsequently, once the shortest route guidance is completed, the management server 200 may create a route DB including departure time, arrival time, time required, and travel route for each route. This path DB can be transmitted from the management server 200 to the user terminal 100.

In this case, the map application can use information from the route DB to display the start time, end time, and time required for each route in a certain area. Additionally, the map application can display the movement path of each route in the map area.

In some cases, the management server 200 may obtain shortest route information based on transportation method information selected by the user, and the transportation method information may include at least one of public transportation and personal vehicle.

Meanwhile, the value obtained by subtracting the arrival time of a specific route from the start time of the trailing schedule may be defined as the blank time of a specific route. A route with a negative gap time is defined as a route with insufficient time, and may be displayed as a ‘not enough time’ label in the corresponding route area in a certain area. A route with a gap time of more than 30 minutes is defined as a free route, and a ‘free’ label may be displayed in the route area. Additionally, a path with a positive blank time may be displayed as a rectangular area in a certain area of the blank time.

Additionally, if the blank time is calculated as a negative number, the processor 150 may provide a UI that guides at least one of the other party's contact information and the location contact information for changing the lagging schedule information.

Meanwhile, the processor 150 may provide a recommended place to stay during the gap time based on the gap time between the first schedule information and the second schedule information and location information of the stay area corresponding to the gap time.

According to one example, the processor 150 may provide recommended places by giving priority to places with advertising contracts among places in the stay area corresponding to the empty time.

According to another example, the processor 150 may provide a recommended place by giving priority to places matching the user's profile information and preference information among places within the stay area corresponding to the empty time.

In addition, the processor 150 selects a candidate place to stay during the gap time based on the length of the gap time, the time zone of the gap time, and the location type information of the stay area, and selects a place in the stay area corresponding to the gap time among the selected candidate places. Recommended places can be provided by prioritizing places that match the user's profile information and preference information.

In addition, the processor 150 inputs the user's profile information and preference information, the length of the blank time, the time zone of the blank time, and location type information into the learned artificial intelligence model, and inputs the information to the location information and probability information output from the artificial intelligence model. Based on this, recommended locations may be provided. Accordingly, the memory 110 can store information about an artificial intelligence model including a plurality of layers. Here, storing information about the artificial intelligence model means various information related to the operation of the artificial intelligence model, such as information about a plurality of layers included in the neural network model, parameters used in each of the plurality of layers (e.g., This may mean storing information about filter coefficients, bias, etc.). However, it is also possible that the artificial intelligence model is stored in the management server 200 and operations related to the artificial intelligence model are performed in the management server 200.

According to another embodiment, the management server 200 obtains corresponding reminder location information based on the to-do list information received from the reminder server 20 that manages the reminder application, and sends the obtained reminder location information to the user terminal 100. ) can be transmitted. In this case, the user terminal 100 may provide a recommended location by giving priority to the reminder location information received from the management server 200.

In addition, the user terminal 100 may further include a location sensor (not shown), a camera (not shown), and a microphone (not shown) that sense the location. The location sensor (not shown) may be implemented as a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, but is applicable without limitation as long as location information of the user terminal 100 can be obtained. A microphone (not shown) is configured to receive the user's voice or other sounds and convert them into audio data. For example, a user command input on a UI screen according to various embodiments of the present disclosure may be input in the form of a voice command.

According to FIG. 3, the management server 200 includes a database 210, a processor 220, a location recommendation module 231, a location search module 232, a route guidance module 233, and a communication interface 220. .

The implementation form of the database 210, the processor 220, and the communication interface 220 is the same/similar to the implementation form of the memory 110, the communication interface 120, and the processor 150 shown in FIG. 2, so the implementation form Detailed explanation will be omitted. The place recommendation module 231, the location search module 232, and the route guidance module 233 may be implemented with at least one piece of software, at least one piece of hardware, or a combination thereof. Of course, the place recommendation module 231, the location search module 232, and the route guidance module 233 may be implemented as part of the processor 220.

The database 210 may include a map DB 211, a route DB 212, a traffic information DB 213, and an advertisement DB 214.

The map DB 211 is a database that stores various data related to maps. In particular, location information of various places can be stored in the form of coordinate information.

The route DB 212 is a database that stores various data related to the route obtained by the shortest route guidance program. For example, data such as departure time, arrival time, time required, and travel route for each route can be stored.

The traffic information DB 213 is a database that stores past traffic-related data. The traffic information DB 213 may be periodically updated based on recent traffic data.

The advertisement DB 214 is a database that stores various data related to advertisements. For example, various information such as identification information of places and stores where advertising contracts are made, location information, advertising contract period, advertising level, etc. can be stored.

The management server 200 may be implemented to provide services according to the present disclosure by communicating with the user terminal 100, calendar server 10, reminder server 20, etc. through the communication interface 220.

Figure 4 is a sequence diagram for explaining the process of creating a schedule table in conjunction with a calendar according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to FIG. 4, when the start date and end date are set in a certain area included in the execution screen of the map application (S410), the user terminal 100 can transmit the set start date and end date to the calendar server 10. There is (S415). For example, when the schedule creation button is touch input on the execution screen 910 of the map application, a screen including the upper map area 911 and the lower schedule area 912 is displayed, as shown in FIG. 9A. , when the user touches an empty area of the schedule table, a window will appear on the screen asking whether or not to create a new schedule. Buttons for selecting the start date and end date of the schedule to be created may be displayed.

When the start date and end date are received (S420), the calendar server 10 may transmit a schedule list for that date to the user terminal (S425). For example, the calendar server 10 may transmit to the user terminal a list of schedules with start and end times set among schedules for dates set by the user in the schedule DB.

When the user terminal 100 receives the schedule list from the calendar server 10 (S430), it displays the schedule list in the schedule area and transmits location information for each schedule included in the schedule list to the management server 200. (S435). For example, as shown in FIG. 9B, the schedule list may be sorted by date and then sorted in ascending order based on start time. Alternatively, the user terminal 100 may select only some schedules from the schedule list. In this case, only the selected schedules may be written in the schedule table, and location information for the schedule may be transmitted to the management server 200.

When the location information for each schedule is received (S440), the management server 200 may search the location coordinates of each location information based on the map DB (S445). For example, a map application can access the map DB to retrieve the location coordinates of each place information.

The management server 200 may transmit the location coordinates of each searched place to the user terminal 100, for example, a map application (S450).

When the location coordinates of each place are received (S455), the user terminal 100 can display each schedule in a certain area (S460) and display the location of each schedule in the map area (S465). For example, the location of each schedule may be displayed as a dot.

Figure 5 is a sequence diagram for explaining a process for guiding a travel route during a schedule according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to FIG. 5, the user terminal 100 may transmit schedule list information included in the schedule table to the management server 200 (S510).

When the schedule list is received (S515), the management server 200 may obtain the shortest path information for each schedule (S520) and transmit the obtained shortest path information for each schedule to the user terminal 100 (S525). .

When the shortest route information for each schedule is received (S530), the user terminal 100 may display each route information in a certain area (S535) and display each route in the form of a line on the map area (S540).

Figure 6 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process for recommending the optimal time zone for a travel route between schedules according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to an example, as shown in FIG. 9D, a UI window may be provided to inquire whether to receive a recommendation for the optimal time zone for the travel route between schedules.

When the 'OK button' is selected in the corresponding UI window, as shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 100 transmits the movement route and schedule information to the management server 200 (S610).

When the management server 200 receives the travel route and schedule information (S615), the management server 200 searches for the travel route schedule information and the most recent critical time section of the same day of the week, for example, traffic information for the last 4 weeks (S620). In this case, the management server 200 extracts only the traffic information inside the area that enlarges the minimum size rectangular area encompassing the departure and arrival locations by 1.5 times both horizontally and vertically, and records the end time of the preceding schedule and the start of the subsequent schedule. Only traffic information between times can be extracted. Accordingly, the cost of searching for traffic information can be saved.

The management server 200 acquires route A, where the end time of the preceding schedule is the departure time (S625), and acquires route B, where the start time of the subsequent schedule is the departure time (S630). In this case, the management server 200 can acquire a total of 8 paths by acquiring path A and path B for each state corresponding to the last 4 weeks. In this case, the management server 200 uses specific traffic information retrieved from the traffic information DB 213 by the route guidance module 233 and road network data from the map DB 211 to select eight routes through a network analysis shortest path search technique. The shortest route can be obtained.

Next, the management server 200 may calculate the average time required for each of a total of eight paths (S635) and transmit route information with a relatively short average time to the user terminal 100 (S640). Accordingly, it is possible to recommend the optimal time zone for the travel route during the schedule.

When route information with a short average time required is received (S645), the user terminal 100 may update the schedule table for a certain area based on the information (S650).

FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process for recommending places that can be visited during blank time between schedules according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to FIG. 7, the user terminal 100 transmits the residence area information during the empty time to the management server 200 (S710). Here, if the gap time is immediately after the preceding schedule, the stay area of the gap time may be set to be the same as the location of the preceding schedule, and if the gap time is immediately before the follow schedule, the stay area of the gap time may be set to be the same as the location of the follow schedule. there is. According to one example, the blank time may be determined according to the optimal time zone for movement determined in FIG. 6. For example, as shown in FIG. 9C, residence area information may be displayed in a certain area 912 of the user terminal 100.

When the management server 200 receives information on the area of stay during the empty time from the user terminal 100 (S715), the management server 200 may search for a place within a critical distance based on the area of stay (S720). In this case, the management server 200 can extract only a list of places corresponding to a specific classification (S725).

According to one example, the management server 200 may extract a list of places that intersect within a 500m radius of the residence area from the map DB 211 through the place recommendation module 231. Next, only places that fall into a specific category are extracted from the place list. For example, specific classifications include basic recommended places (cafes, theaters, parks, art galleries, museums, public facilities, etc.), recommended places for eating (restaurants), recommended places for work (banks, government offices), and recommended places for shopping (marts, department stores, etc.). shopping malls, etc.).

Additionally, the management server 200 may search the advertisement DB 214 for places with advertising contracted information near the stay area and give priority to the searched places among the extracted place list (S730).

Subsequently, the management server 200 may transmit a list of prioritized places to the user terminal (S735).

When the user terminal 100 receives a list of places from the management server 200 (S740), the user terminal 100 displays a radius circle centered on the area of stay in the map area, marks the locations of recommended places with pins, and sets a schedule for a certain area. A place list area can be displayed instead of a table (S745). For example, as shown in FIG. 9E, a circle with a radius of 500 m centered on the residence area may be displayed in the map area 911, and the locations of recommended places within a radius of 500 m may be displayed as pins. Additionally, when the locations of recommended places within a 500m radius are displayed as pins, the basic recommended places are displayed first, and prioritized advertised places may be displayed in the map area 911 along with business name labels and pins. Additionally, advertisement locations are displayed at the top of the location list area at the bottom and may be accompanied by small text that says "Advertisement." Additionally, a place list area 922 may be displayed instead of a schedule table in a certain area.

FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process for recommending places that can be visited during gaps between schedules according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to FIG. 8, the reminder server 10 may transmit a to-do list according to a request from the management server 200 (S810).

When the management server 200 receives the to-do list from the reminder server 10 (S815), it extracts place words from the to-do list (S820). For example, the management server 200 extracts words with place characteristics from the to-do list, and at this time, it can refer to data listing numerous words indicating places such as cafe, library, bookstore, and bank. The process of searching for a place using the extracted place words may be executed by the place recommendation module 231.

Subsequently, the management server 200 may search the map DB 211 for places within a critical distance within the radius of the stay area using the place words extracted in step S820 and extract a list of places (S825). In this case, the management server 200 may assign priority to places closer to the area of stay in the place list and transmit the information to the user terminal 100 (830).

When the user terminal 100 receives a list of places from the management server 200 (S835), the user terminal 100 displays a radius circle centered on the area of stay in the map area, marks the locations of recommended places with pins, and sets a schedule for a certain area. Instead of a table, you can display a place list area.

According to the various embodiments described above, for office workers who frequently meet with clients, the efficiency of travel planning during irregular schedules can be improved, and for office workers who frequently travel to other cities, it can be helpful in finding location information in unfamiliar business trip areas.

In addition, the usability of maps and calendars can be increased by going beyond the existing map and calendar combination technology by adding functions that increase the efficiency of travel planning and use of blank time between schedules.

In addition, by suggesting that people travel at the optimal time when moving between schedules, the effect of dispersing citizens' travel times can contribute to relieving traffic congestion and congestion in public transportation vehicles.

In addition, it can help you utilize your free time efficiently, contributing to the revitalization of commercial districts by increasing the possibility of staying in more diverse areas and expanding the scale and area of consumption.

In addition, a new advertising revenue source can be created by exposing store information at the top when recommending a place in the area where you stay during your free time.

In addition, by adding it to an existing map application, IT companies can run an application that combines calendars and maps.
