The wireless client is equipped with an RFID reader capable of reading an RFID tag therein to read the RFID information from the RFID tag 100a attached to the object 100, analyze the RFID information thus read, and determine a specific website ( That is, it extracts the address information (URL) of the information service server 108 and the identifier ID of the RFID tag 100a, and uses the extracted website address information (wireless communication network 104 and network 106). Connection) Is connected to the information service server 108 to provide the identifier ID of the RFID tag and the reading date and time (date, time, day of the week, etc.) of the RFID tag together with the identifier ID of the user (for example, the mobile terminal number). In this case, the identifier ID of the RFID tag includes identification information of the RDID tag and region information (location information).

Here, the object means, for example, an object installed in a space used by the general public such as a bus, a bus stop, a subway, an amusement park, a convention center, a hotel, a movie theater, the local building, and a franchise franchise.

In addition, each wireless client may be provided with customized information provided from the information service server 108 through the network 106 and the wireless communication network 104, for example, the identifier ID of the RFID tag and the read date and time information of the RFID tag. Based on the user information, user-customized information is output (such as display to a monitor or output to a speaker), where the user information is, for example, the gender, age, preference, content consumption of the wireless client user. The information may optionally include a history. In addition, the user-customized information may be provided in the form of, for example, SMS (single message service), MMS (multimedia message service), voice message, and the like.

In addition, the preference among user information may include any one of sports fields (eg, soccer, baseball, etc.), any one of movie genres (eg, melodies, etc.), one of music genres (eg, pop, chanson, Ballad, etc.), and this user preference may be arbitrarily selected as member information when the user registers as a member in the information service server 108. That is, each wireless client user accesses the information service server 108 and registers as a member, for example, provides information such as name, gender, age, mobile terminal number, preference, and the like to the member DB 110.

Furthermore, the customized information serviced to the wireless client from the information service server 108 may include reservation inquiry selection items (eg, movie ticket reservation, sports event ticket reservation, theater ticket reservation, etc.) The client user may access the operator server through the click of the reservation inquiry selection item and receive a reservation service through processing between the client and the operator server (for example, processing for reservation of a ticket).

In addition, the user-customized information serviced to the wireless client from the information service server 108 may include discount coupon download items (eg, food or beverage discount coupon, ticket discount coupon, etc.), in which case the corresponding wireless client user receives the discount. Download the desired discount coupon from the information service server 108 by clicking on the coupon download item, store it in the memory area of the wireless client, and withdraw it when necessary (ie, through the monitor of the wireless client). Display) to provide a discount service.

Meanwhile, the information service server 108 provides a service information request message (i.e., a service information request message from a specific wireless client through a wireless communication network 104 and a network 106) to provide customized information to a plurality of wireless clients according to the present embodiment. When the identifier ID (RFID tag identification information and region information) of RFID tag, reading date (date, time, day of week, etc.) information of RFID tag and identifier ID (mobile communication terminal number) of user) are provided, member DB Search 110 to retrieve user information (e.g., gender, age, preferences, content consumption history, etc.) for the wireless client, and read out the identifier ID of the retrieved user information and the received RFID tag and the RFID tag read date and time. Based on the information, the customized information suitable for the wireless client user is processed (that is, the information content suitable for the user from the tag DB 111 and the information DB 112). And process the customized user-defined information to the corresponding wireless client through the network 106 and the wireless communication network 104. Therefore, the user of the wireless client will be able to receive customized information suitable for him.

To this end, the member DB 110 stores member information (eg, name, gender, age, mobile terminal number, preference, etc.) for each member registered as a member on a website (ie, an information service server). In addition, each time each member consumes the content (that is, ticket reservation, discount coupon download, etc.), the history (content consumption history) information is stored, and this content consumption history information is utilized as user information for processing user-specific information. .

In addition, the member DB 110 has a specific member (eg, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, etc.) desired by any member himself / herself on a predetermined reservation date (eg, birthday, Valentine's day, white day, Christmas, etc.). When initially reading this unspecified RFID tag and providing customized information, an order message (eg, short message, voice message, multimedia message, etc.) may be provided before the customized information is provided or simultaneously with the customized information. Can be stored. To this end, when any member wants to pre-register an order message, it provides the mobile terminal number of the specific member to be sent, and the order message is also sent to the receiving member (ie It may be desirable to store the information as a member information of the member receiving the order message).

That is, when the information service server 108 receives an information request message (identifier ID of an RFID tag, read date / time information of an RFID tag) from an arbitrary wireless client, the information service server 108 searches for a member DB 110 and schedules shipment to the corresponding wireless client. It will check whether there is an order message that has been ordered, and will provide a service to send the scheduled order message to the wireless client when the order message is scheduled to be sent and the current day matches the scheduled date of shipment.

In addition, the tag DB 111 stores local peripheral information related to each RFID, such as commercial information, university information, nightlife information, franchise information, and the like. The information DB 112 stores a plurality of wireless clients. Various kinds of information contents for providing, for example, sports game information, sports relay information, movie trailer information, new record release information, local commercial information, various discount coupon information, and the like are stored. Here, the local peripheral information stored in the tag DB 111 is updated periodically or continuously according to the change of the surrounding environment for each RFID tag.

On the other hand, each operator server (114/1-114 / n) in the operator server group 114, for example, the content-related services (such as the sale of content, such as tickets, to a number of wireless client users or wired clients via the Internet, etc.) Means a website for providing information, searching, etc.), and provides various information contents required for the customized information service according to the present embodiment to the information service server 108 through the network 106. . Accordingly, the information service server 108 stores or updates the information service server 112 in real time whenever new information content is provided from each operator server 114/1-114 / n.

That is, in the customized information providing system of the present embodiment having the system configuration as described above, the identifier ID of the RFID tag obtained by reading a RFID tag attached to an arbitrary object by a specific wireless client, the reading date and time (date, time, When requesting the service information by sending the service information request message with information and the user's identifier ID, the wireless client user based on the identifier ID of the RFID tag, the reading date information of the RFID tag, and the user information stored in the member DB It processes and manufactures customized information suitable for the user, and provides the processed customized information to the wireless client through a network and a wireless communication network.

Therefore, according to the customized information providing system according to the present embodiment, by providing the customized information suitable for the user characteristics, it is possible to effectively meet the various service needs of the user, and through this the width of the service using RFID Wide activation can be realized.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment has been described as including the read date and time information of the RFID tag in the service information request message from the wireless client side to the information service server, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, RFID in the wireless client side Instead of providing tag read date information, the date and time may be set to be used as the read date and time information of an RFID tag based on the date and time (date, time, day of the week, etc.) at which the service request message is received. Of course.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment has been described as a service for customized user information using an RFID tag, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, the wireless client having a bi-directional and near field communication (Bluetooth, Zigbee (zigbee, etc.) can of course also be realized.

Next, a process of providing a customized information service to a plurality of wireless client users by using the customized information providing system of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing customized information to a wireless client using RFID according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, while a specific wireless client (mobile communication terminal) is performing a standby mode (step 202), a user switches the mobile communication terminal to an RFID reading mode and an object 100 in a feature area through an RFID reader. When the RFID tag 100a attached to the RFID tag 100a is read (step 204), the RFID information read by the RFID analysis module in the wireless client is analyzed (step 206).

That is, the RFID analysis module in the wireless client analyzes the RFID information and extracts the address information (URL) of the information service server 108 included in the information and the identifier ID of the RFID tag. Here, the identifier ID of the RFID tag includes, for example, identification information of the RFID tag and area information (location information).

Subsequently, the wireless client accesses the information service server 108 through the wireless communication network 104 and the network 106, and identifies the identifier ID of the RFID tag, the read date and time (date, time, day of the week, etc.) of the RFID tag and the user's information. Request service information by sending a identifier ID (e.g., mobile communication terminal number, etc.) (step 208).

In response, the information service server 108 uses the identifier information of the RFID tag received from the wireless client, the read date and time information of the RFID tag, and the user information drawn from the member DB 110 based on the identifier ID of the user. The information content selectively extracted from the tag DB 111 and the information DB 112 is processed into user-customized information (step 210). Here, the user information may selectively include, for example, the gender, age, preference, content consumption history, and the like of the user. That is, the information service server 108 does not transmit service information corresponding to the corresponding RFID tag to the corresponding wireless client as it is, and reads the date and time of reading the RFID tag and user information such as the user's gender, age, preference, user's content consumption history, and the like. Based on the information, it is processed (created) into a new form (a customized form of customized information).

Next, the information service server 108 transmits the user-specific information generated based on the identifier ID of the RFID tag, the read date / time information of the RFID tag and the identifier ID of the user through the network 106 and the wireless communication network 104. Send to client (step 212). Here, the generated user-specific information may be any one of SMS (short message), MMS (multimedia message), voice message, or a combination of the two.

Thus, by outputting the customized information received by the wireless client via the network 106 and the wireless communication network 104 to the outside (display to the monitor and / or speaker output) (step 214), the wireless client user himself It is possible to receive the service of the customized information bonded to the user.

Meanwhile, detailed description of the method for providing personalized information according to the present embodiment has been omitted, but in the present embodiment, a reservation inquiry selection item (eg, a movie ticket reservation or a sports game watching) is provided to the user-specific information provided to the wireless client by the information service server. Ticket reservation, theatrical ticket reservation, etc.). In this case, the wireless client user accesses the operator server by clicking on the reservation inquiry selection item and processes the client (eg, reservation for a ticket, etc.). Processing) to receive the reservation service.

In addition, although detailed description of the method for providing customized information according to the present embodiment has been omitted, in the present embodiment, discount coupon download items (for example, food or beverage discount coupons, tickets, etc.) are added to user-customized information provided to the wireless client by the information service server. Discount coupons, etc.) In this case, the user of the wireless client downloads the desired discount coupon from the information service server by clicking on the download discount coupon item and stores it in the memory area of his wireless client. Each time, the discount service can be provided by drawing and presenting it (that is, displaying it through the monitor of the wireless client).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the member reserves an order message to be selectively sent to a specific member (user) that he / she wants on a specific day (reservation date), and the specific member on the corresponding day (that is, a predetermined shipment reservation date). When the RFID tag is read to request service information, a service for transmitting a reserved order message may be provided.

In addition, the method for providing customized information according to the present embodiment has been described as serving customized user information using an RFID tag. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and a wireless client having a bidirectionality and a short range communication method (Bluetooth) (bluetooth, zigbee, etc.) of course.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of selectively providing an order message set to a shipment reservation based on a shipment reservation date when providing personalized information using RFID according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the information service server 108 performs a service request standby mode (step 302), while requesting a service request message (ie, an RFID tag) from a specific wireless client through the wireless communication network 104 and the network 106. ID, read date and time information of the RFID tag, and the user's identifier ID) are checked (step 304).

If it is determined in the step 304 that the service request message has been received, the information service server 108 searches for the member DB 110 based on the identifier ID of the user included in the service request message (step In operation 308, it is checked whether a predetermined order message to be transmitted to the corresponding wireless client user who has requested the service information is reserved.

As a result of the check in the step 308, when the preset order message is reserved, the information service server 108, the current day is a predetermined shipment scheduled date (e.g., birthday, Valentine's day, white day, Christmas, etc. of a specific member). (Step 310). Here, the order message may be any one or a combination of SMS, MMS, voice message.

As a result of the check in the step 310, when the current day is a predetermined shipment reservation date, the information service server 108 withdraws the order message stored in the member DB 110 to establish the network 106 and the wireless communication network 104. To the wireless client via step 312. In this case, the transmission of the conditional message may be provided prior to providing the customized information or may be simultaneously provided with the customized information.

On the other hand, the selective transmission service of the order message as described above, in consideration of the service characteristics, it is preferable to set the transmission only once when the wireless client requests the service information for the first time through the RFID reading on the preset shipment reservation date. something to do.

Therefore, according to the method for providing customized information according to the present embodiment, by providing customized information suitable for user characteristics, it is possible to effectively meet various service needs of users, and through this, broad activation of services using RFID. Can be realized.

For example, according to the present embodiment, when two lovers stop by a movie theater and a man reads an RFID tag attached to a predetermined portion of a poster (object) to his mobile communication terminal and requests service information, the information service server requests the service information. We automatically downloaded customized information generated based on user information (gender, age, preferences, content consumption history, etc.), such as trailers for future action movies. When requesting service information by reading an RFID tag with a communication terminal, the information service server generates user-specific information generated based on the user information (gender, age, preference, content consumption history, etc.) of the corresponding female member, for example, a melo to be shown in the future. Customized user-specific information by automatically downloading movie trailers Can provide security services.

That is, according to the present embodiment, even if the same RFID tag is read, different customized service information is provided according to the person, time, day of the week, and user information that read the RFID.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the user stops at the McDonald's and reads the RFID tag of the poster attached to the wall with his mobile communication terminal, the text service information of “The product will be given by visiting the McDonald's chain 10 times” will be provided. A service transmitted to a mobile communication terminal of a corresponding user may be provided, and through such a service technique, users may be encouraged to actively participate in an event.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, when a user visits a coffee shop that is frequently visited one day and reads RFID by his mobile terminal, his girlfriend's voice message (ie, love for his boyfriend only) Messages can be delivered (order message service), which will create new services that are more differentiated and user friendly.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment has been described as including the read date and time information of the RFID tag in the service information request message from the wireless client side to the information service server, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this, RFID in the wireless client side Of course, the date and time may be set to be used as the read date and time information of the RFID tag based on the date and time at which the service request message is received at the information service server without providing the read and date information of the tag.

Next, a process of providing a customized information service to a plurality of wireless client users by using the customized information providing system of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing customized information to a wireless client using RFID according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in step 502 to step 508, a corresponding wireless client identifies a RFID ID identifier ID (RFID tag identification information and region information) and an RFID tag read date information (date, time, day, etc.) as a service request message. Unlike the first embodiment, which provides the user's identifier ID (mobile communication terminal number) and the wireless client, the service request message includes only the identifier ID of the RFID tag and the read date / time information of the RFID tag except for the identifier ID of the user. The only difference is that the information is transmitted to the information service server 408, and the other contents are substantially the same as the steps 202 to 208 in the first embodiment. Therefore, hereinafter, detailed description will be omitted in order to avoid unnecessary duplicated material for the sake of brevity of the specification.

That is, in the information service server 408, when a specific wireless client transmits a service request message including the identifier ID of the RFID tag and the read date / time information of the RFID tag, the information service server 408 connects to the mobile communication company server 412 through the network 406. User information (eg, gender, age, etc.) of the wireless client user is requested (step 510).

In response, the mobile carrier server 412 retrieves the member DB 414, retrieves user information for that wireless client user, and transmits it to the information service server 408 via the network 406 (step 512). .

Subsequently, the information service server 408 receives the identifier ID of the RFID tag received from the wireless client, the read date and time (date, time, day of the week, etc.) of the RFID tag, and the user information received from the mobile communication company server 412 (the Generate customized information suitable for the corresponding wireless client user based on gender, age, etc. (i.e., selectively extract information content from the tag DB 409 and the information DB 410 to generate customized information) (step 514). The user-customized information generated as described above is serviced to the wireless client through the steps 516 and 518 as in the above-described steps 212 and 214 of the first embodiment.

On the other hand, the customized information providing method of the present embodiment, like the above-described customized information providing method of Embodiment 1, can be realized in the same manner as the reservation service, such as a ticket and discount coupon download service.

In addition, in the method of providing personalized information according to the present embodiment, similarly to the method of providing personalized information according to the first embodiment, the wireless client does not transmit RFID read date and time (date, time, day of the week, etc.) to the information service server. Of course, the service server may be configured to use the date and time when the service request message is received as read date and time information of the RFID tag.

Further, the method for providing customized information according to the present embodiment is similar to the method for providing customized information according to the first embodiment, and the wireless client and the short-range communication scheme (Bluetooth, Zigbee, etc.) having bidirectional as well as RFID tags. Of course, it can be realized through.
