Description

How to provide life information using map interface {DISPLAY METHOD OF LIVING FORMATION USING A MAP INTERFACE}

The present invention relates to a method of providing living information using a map interface, and more specifically, to a living facility within a range to be searched by dividing the unified map information into a plurality of cells (CELL) and interconnecting information related to each cell. The present invention relates to a method of providing life information using an interface for searching for a door and an event.

In general, the map search provided through the Internet site classifies the databased information by the location, namely, city, ward, and town, which the user wants to find, and then searches for the information. have. Such a map search site is http://www.hanmir.com, http://www.freemap.net, http://www.roadi.co.kr, http://www.seoulsubway.co.kr The map information retrieved through such sites is as follows.

1 is an initial screen of a map search using hanmir.com. First, FIG. 1 is a national map 100 is displayed, the address entry column 102, the mutual entry field 104 and the telephone number entry column 106 to be searchable from the user to the address, business name and phone number to look for from the user It is composed. In the address entry column 102, an area selection column is provided so that input is possible for each city.

The user inputs the address information required by the address entry column 102. For example, if the user selects "Seoul" and then inputs "Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu," the map information of "Gangnam-gu of Seoul" is displayed on the screen. . Here, the map information of the surrounding area of "Gangnam-gu" is also displayed on the screen, and the map information of the "Gangnam-gu" area is located at the center of the screen so that the user can easily search.

At this time, when the user wants to search other regions, for example, "Seoul Myeonmok-dong" in addition to the map information of "Gangnam-gu", the center point of the screen is moved to the "Myeonmok-dong" through a mouse or a keyboard. When the user searches for information to search for in "Myeonmok-dong", the desired information is input on the screen by inputting the corresponding information through the address input column 102, the mutual input column 104, or the telephone number input column 106. You can search.

On the other hand, when a user wants to search for information of another area, that is, to search for "Guri-si" of the suburbs while searching for "Myeonmok-dong" as shown in FIG.

First, Myeongmok-dong is located on the left side and Guri-si is located on the right side of the boundary line 205. In the case of location information, for example, hospital 201, that is, the user is to be found at the current location T, that is, the user is irrespective of the area classification. If you want to find the nearest hospital (201) from the current location. The map information provided on the current site provides only information of "Myeonmok-dong" of Seoul or Seoul, and when the hospital 201 is input from a user, only the location information of the hospital 201 located on "Myeonmok-dong" is displayed on a browser. to provide.

As shown, the map information of "Myeonmok-dong" included in Seoul and the area corresponding to Seoul is displayed, but Guri-Gyeonggi-do, not Seoul, is intended to display only map information. This means that the current search information on the site only displays information in "Seoul City", and Gyeonggi-do, not "Seoul City", only displays a simple display for the geographical combination on the map.

As an example, if the user wants to obtain the location information of the hospital 203 closest to the current location T, the user will search for the hospital 201 at the current location T because the current location is "Myeonmok-dong". However, the map search information will be displayed by searching the information of the hospital 201 in "Myeonmok-dong" of Seoul, so that the user cannot find the hospital (203) nearest to the current location (T), and the hospital (201) ) Location information.

This is because the current Internet map search information is used by region, and all the information of the region is searched only within the region. The problem is that it cannot be searched.

In addition, when the map information in the address information input through the address input field 102 is obtained and the map information of another region is obtained, the corresponding region information cannot be obtained without performing a separate address input. Discomfort has arisen.

In addition, since the Internet map search provides only geographical information, there is a problem in that the quality of the search information is not improved because the local information including the living environment information of the region to be searched is not loaded.

The present invention was created to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to enable local living facilities and event information in a map to be organically connected to each other, so that map information in an area visible on a map can be displayed without region classification. The present invention provides a method of providing life information using a map interface.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for providing living information using a map interface, the method comprising: a) dividing into geographical regions of a minimum unit; b) inputting geographic information corresponding to the geographic area; c) inputting regional information corresponding to the geographical region; d) inputting living information including advertisement information and commercial information corresponding to the geographical area; e) entering center point information about the geographic area; f) making the geographic information corresponding to the geographic area, the area information, the center point information, and the living information into one pixel, and making a database for each of the divided areas; g) setting a provision range of the pixel according to the size and scale of a map window input from a user; h) combining pixels based on geographic information of each pixel within a range of providing the pixel; And i) displaying map information, area information, and living information in the combined pixel.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 shows a part of an initial screen according to the present invention. The user searches for a specific map to be searched through the national map 303 shown in the display window 301, and typically clicks a certain region by a mouse. If the clicked area is Seoul, as shown in Fig. 4, all the districts of Seoul are divided and shown. The unexplained T is the current location of the user or the specific location to be searched, which will be described later as an embodiment.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the configuration of the present invention. FIGS. 6 and 7 are configuration diagrams for better understanding of FIG. 8, and FIG. 5 will be described as an embodiment. First, referring to FIG. 8, the process proceeds to the divisional division step S801 of the smallest unit, and the national geography is subdivided based on real-life, that is, actually photographed information. For example, it is subdivided into units of 1M each in width and length.

The subdivided area goes through a geographic information input step S803 of inputting location information of the corresponding area. This sets the coordinates of the area, and establishes as predetermined information by one-to-one correspondence between the area and the corresponding coordinates. In addition, the local living facilities information input step (S805) through the information of the area, for example, information such as building name, phone number or specific building in the area.

In addition, the living information can be input, which is intended to be utilized as a living place in the region through the living advertisement input step (S807). As described above, since the subdivision of the area is in units of 1M, the living information is input by combining a plurality of subdivided areas as described above. The living information may be local event information, real estate information, product transaction information including used car sales, and dating information between men and women. In addition, road information on a road and construction section information may be input.

On the other hand, proceeding to the center point information input step (S809) for inputting the center point information of the area in addition to the above information, to set the center coordinates, the size and scale of the window so that the position to be searched is displayed on the center of the screen of the monitor Rather, it is used for the retrieval of life information which will be described later.

The input information is divided into respective subdivided zones and set to each pixel PIXEL (S811). Accordingly, geographic information, area information, living information, and center point information of a corresponding area are input to one pixel, and an operator server (not shown) completes the map information based on the information.

The user may enlarge / reduce map information of a specific area and search for a desired scale. When the user sets a plurality of map window sizes that have already been set, the server calculates a real axis of the map window according to the calculated result. Pixels are combined geographically (S813). Of course, the resolution of the map varies according to the scale, which causes deletion / addition of the displayed geographic information.

The geographical combinations of the pixels will then be described in more detail, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. According to the geographical position C and the degree of scale set by the user, 2N pixels on the X axis and 2M pixels on the Y axis are configured on the screen. The number of pixels is determined according to the scale, which is set in proportion to the size of the screen, and may display a wider area or a narrower area as necessary (S815). In the present invention, the embodiment is set to 2N / 2M pieces in the X / Y axis.

When the coordinates of the geographical position C are set to CX and CY, the lower left part of the drawing will be set to CX-N and CY-M, and the coordinates of the upper right part of the drawing are set to CX + N and CY + M. (S817). Therefore, CX coordinates require CX + N pixels in CX-N and CY coordinates require CY + M pixels in CY-M. The databased information described above causes the corresponding information to be output within the above range, and FIG. 7 shows a plurality of pixels according to geographic information.

Each pixel is combined by coordinates through the operator server, and information about the pixel is stored in a predetermined memory. The stored information is for scanning the corresponding information in the memory when the search information is input from the user, and the scan results are displayed graphically on a list or a map.

The display results can be transmitted not only to a personal PC through the Internet, but also to a wireless communication device such as a PDA, IMT2000, mobile phone, PC, or communication device, thereby emphasizing the gist of the present invention.

As a configuration of the present invention described above, embodiments will be described below.

If the user is located in "Nowon-gu" Seoul, and want to find a hospital 601 in a specific area (T), click "Seoul" in Figure 3 and then click "Nowon-gu" through FIG. At this time, on the screen is displayed according to the scale around the center area of the Nowon-gu. The user will search for his location by moving the center point of the screen with the mouse to find a specific area (T).

Here, the movement of the center point changes the range of the display according to the scale, and corresponding area information, living information, and center point information are read from the database corresponding to the changed geographic information. That is, by reading a plurality of pixels 507 according to geographic information and scale information, FIG. 5 shows the result.

The specific area T that the user wants to find is located in the vicinity of the boundary 501 between Seoul 503 and Gyeonggi-do 505, and inputs a "hospital" through an input column not shown. The operator server receives a "hospital" and reads local information included in the plurality of pixels 507 currently read. This reads only information in the CX-N to CX + N range on the X-axis and CY-M to CY + M on the Y-axis of the databaseized information, and then finds a "hospital" located within that range.

Therefore, the "hospital" located in Seoul 503 and Gyeonggi-do 505 that fall within the above range is to be displayed. The user can find the "hospital" closest to the current location (C), that is, close to the current location without distinguishing between Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.

In addition, the user can find the local information of the region where the "hospital" is located in addition to the "hospital" to be searched, which is provided with the geographical information and the living information as well as the geographical information of the hospital described above. For example, including advertisements for attracting a specific treatment of the hospital, job advertisements or used sale advertisements in the area where the hospital is located may be examined at a glance. As a result, the user may know the surrounding environment information related to the hospital in addition to the location information of the hospital to be searched.

This is to provide the living information, commercial information and commercial information of the area currently displayed to one end of the screen. Based on the above information, the wireless communication business contents provision, GIS NAVIGATION solution provision, IMT2000 contents provision, CRM / DB marketing provision, Management consulting support is available.

As described above, the present invention is to configure the pixel divided by region, and then to configure the geographic information, regional information and living information for each pixel with the corresponding coordinates, by city, province, district, district Irrespective of the regional classification according to the search, all the information is searched evenly within the range displayed on the current screen, thereby maximizing the user's search efficiency.

In addition, it is possible to search for the desired information in the desired region through the provided living information according to the region, thereby reducing the gap between the user and the living information, thereby improving the convenience of living.

In addition, by using the GIS geographic information as a content or mobile service of the IMT2000, it is possible to increase the functionality of the present invention.

What has been described above is only one embodiment for implementing the method of providing living information using the map interface according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, as claimed in the following claims. Without departing from the gist of the present invention, anyone of ordinary skill in the art will have the technical spirit of the present invention to the extent that various modifications can be made.
