The storage medium 130 may be a flash memory type, a hard disk type, a multimedia card micro type, a card type memory (for example, SD or XD memory) (Random Access Memory) SRAM (Static Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) A disk, and / or an optical disk. Also, the procedure management apparatus 100 may operate a web storage or a cloud server that performs a storage function of the storage medium 130 on the Internet.

The target signal receiving unit 131 receives the target signal from the user terminal 200. The target signal essentially contains information about the destination location each user desires to reach. In an alternative embodiment, the target signal may further comprise source information in addition to information about the destination location, or transportation means that the user wishes to use.

The guide data generating unit 132 analyzes the received target signal to generate guide data. The data generating unit 132 determines a moving unit to move the target position in consideration of the target position information included in the target signal and the current position obtained from the user terminal, And generates one or more transmission apparatuses related to the detailed operation to be performed in order to arrive. More specifically, the guide data generation unit 132 determines the current position of the user terminal through a GPS (Position Measurement Module) mounted on the user terminal, and determines the position of the user terminal based on the current position of the user terminal, . In addition, the guide data generating unit 132 may determine the easiest transportation means to move to the destination position as the moving means. The guide data generating unit 132 may generate guide data that moves from the current position to the boarding place of the public transportation means, boarding the public transportation means, and arranging places to be reached in order to reach the destination position . Here, the guide data may represent the positions of the places to which the data should pass, but may include signals corresponding to places to which the data should be transmitted.

In addition, the instruction data generation unit 133 extracts and generates instruction data necessary for the current time of the user in consideration of the position of the user terminal, the preference condition of the user, and / or the guide data. Here, the preference condition is determined by a user or by considering a behavior pattern of a user through a user terminal. The preference condition is determined by a user's body such as a visually impaired person, a hearing impaired person, a wheelchair, a stroller, And information that should be considered when moving. For users who ride a 'wheelchair', select 'subway' which is a means of transportation that can reach the above-mentioned destination by using 'wheelchair', 'ticket purchase', 'ticket gate' Quot ;, " position ", and the like. In particular, the instruction data generation unit 133 can select and provide one instruction data according to the current state of each user.

The instruction data generation unit 133 determines the current state of the user by considering the position of the user terminal, considering a response signal from the transmission apparatus or the user terminal, or considering the state information stored in the user terminal. In particular, the instruction data generation unit 133 determines the current state by reading the state information from the user terminal, but when the state information is not read from the user terminal, And analyzes the received latest response signal to extract the instruction data corresponding to the operation to be performed at the current time point. The current state of the user is set differently from one or more instruction data corresponding to the target signal according to the instruction data already performed. For example, with respect to the instruction data of the total of five levels, the state information of the user who performed the instruction data of the third level may be set to '3'. That is, it can be determined in consideration of the number of steps performed on the guide data including the operation of ten steps as a whole.

The instruction data generation unit 133 transmits the generated instruction data to the transmission apparatus corresponding to the instruction data in consideration of the target signal received from the user and / or the current state and the preference condition of the user. Here, the transmitting apparatus corresponding to the instruction data refers to a transmitting apparatus located at a position corresponding to an operation included in the instruction data, for example, 'boarding position', 'ticket gate', 'ticket purchase', and the like. The instruction data generation unit 133 determines whether an operation corresponding to the transmitted instruction data has been performed. The instruction data generating unit 133 may analyze the instruction data and determine whether the operation corresponding to the instruction data has been performed by extracting the distance between the user terminal which is the extracted performing entity and the transmitting apparatus corresponding to the performing operation . The instruction data generation unit 133 determines whether or not to perform an operation corresponding to the instruction data through a response signal received from one of a user terminal, which is a main body corresponding to the instruction data, or one of transmission apparatuses corresponding to the instruction data It is possible. The instruction data generation unit 133 may determine whether to perform an operation corresponding to the instruction data through the state information stored in the user terminal.

In an alternative embodiment, the instruction data generation unit 133 may transmit each instruction data to the user terminal 200. [ The instruction data to be transmitted to the user terminal 200 may include information on the corresponding transmission device (location, identification information, etc.) that should be performed at present considering the one or more steps of the user terminal toward the destination location. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 200 is controlled so as to access and arrive at the transmission apparatus corresponding to each instruction data, using the identification information of the transmission apparatus and the route information to the transmission apparatus obtained from the received instruction data. The transmitting apparatus 400, which does not receive the instruction data, randomly transmits a signal including its own identification information at a predetermined time period, for example, every 5 seconds to inform the user terminal of its position, To be received. In this embodiment, the instruction data generation unit 133 can wait for a response signal from the user terminal. If the response signal is not received until a predetermined threshold time elapses from the time of transmitting the first instruction data, the instruction data generating unit 133 generates the instruction data and the first instruction data It is possible to transmit route information arriving at the transmission apparatus corresponding to the data and to wait for a response signal from the user terminal. In the present embodiment, the response signal may be a signal generated at the user terminal as arrival of the transmission device extracted by the instruction data is detected.

In an alternative embodiment, the instruction data generation unit 133 may transmit the instruction data generated in correspondence with the current state of the user to the transmission apparatus 400 corresponding to the instruction data. The instruction data to be transmitted to the transmission apparatus may include information on the user terminal to which each transmission apparatus should wait. In this case, the transmitting apparatus 400 can detect the user terminal corresponding to the received instruction data using the information (phone number, user ID, etc.) of the user terminal obtained from the received instruction data. In the present embodiment, the user terminal 200 transmitting the target signal can continuously transmit a signal including its own identification information. The transmitting apparatus 400 recognizes the user terminal through the transmitted signal. If the instruction data generator 133 fails to receive a response signal until a preset threshold time elapses from the point in time at which the instruction data is transmitted, Data can be transmitted. In this embodiment, the response signal may be a signal generated in the transmitting apparatus as the access to the user terminal extracted by the instruction data is detected. The instruction data generation unit 133 can generate not only instruction data corresponding to the target signal received from the user but also recommendation data for each user. For example, the instruction data generation unit 133 may generate instruction data including convenience facilities, restaurant information, restaurant information, tourist information, etc. existing within a predetermined distance in consideration of the current state of the user. Further, the instruction data generating unit 133 may take into account the current state or situation of the other one or more users in generating instruction data for the first user. For example, when the instruction data for the first user corresponds to the ticket purchase, the instruction data generation unit 133 acquires the instruction data for the ticket purchase in consideration of the situation where the first user and another user purchase the ticket The user can generate the instruction data for the first user including the information on the place where the user can wait, such as the toilet, the bench, and the like. That is, the instruction data generating unit 133 may take into account the current state of another user in generating instruction data for the first user.

The state management unit 134 manages state information of one or more users requesting a target signal. The state management unit 134 may generate state information in association with each of the users who transmitted the target signal, directly store and manage the state information, or store the state information in the user terminal. The status information may be generated corresponding to the instruction data performed by each user among the guide data generated corresponding to each user. That is, the state information may be '3' if the user has performed operations corresponding to the third instruction data.

In an alternative embodiment, when the instruction data is transmitted to the user terminal, the state manager 134 may control the state information of each user to be stored in a predetermined storage area of the user terminal 200. [ The user terminal 200 that has transmitted the target signal may have a predetermined storage area for recording both the reception of the instruction data and the detection of the transmission apparatus. That is, when the transmitting apparatus corresponding to the received instruction data is recognized, the user terminal 200 can store and manage such information in a predetermined storage area. The user terminal 200 may update the status information through the search and detection of the transmitting device 400 corresponding to the received instruction data and the instruction data.

In another embodiment, the state manager 134 may determine the current state of each user through the location of each user terminal without separately managing state information.

When the instruction data is transmitted to the transmission apparatus, the state management unit 134 can determine the current state of each user through the response signal received from the transmission apparatus, and generate the state information. In this embodiment, the user terminal 200 can update the status information under the control of the transmitting apparatus 400 that has received the instruction data.

The state management unit 134 analyzes the received response signal, and if there is no instruction data corresponding to the subsequent operation of the instruction data transmitted recently through the obtained state information, the state management unit 134 generates guide data corresponding to the target signal from the user Can be terminated.

The database 140 includes a transmission device DB 141 for storing and managing information on transmission devices necessary for generating guide data and instruction data, and a user DB 142 for managing information on users managed through the guide data and instruction data ).

3 to 4 are flowcharts of a procedure management method according to embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a procedure management method according to embodiments of the present invention includes a target signal receiving step S110, a guide data generating step S120, a state determining step S130, an instruction data generating step S140, A data transmission step S150, an operation determination step S160, and a mission termination determination step S170 corresponding to the target signal.

The procedure management apparatus 100 receives the target signal from the user terminal (S110).

The procedure management apparatus 100 analyzes the target signal to generate guide data (S120). The procedure management apparatus 100 determines a moving means to which the destination should move in consideration of a destination included in the target signal and a current position obtained from the user terminal and performs a process to reach the destination using the moving means And one or more transmitting apparatuses related to the detailed work to be performed. More specifically, the procedure management apparatus 100 determines the current position of the user terminal through a position measurement module (GPS) mounted on the user terminal, and determines whether the distance from the current position of the user terminal is the closest, Determine which public transport (subway, bus, etc.) you have.

The procedure management apparatus 100 may generate guide data in consideration of a preference condition input from the user. For example, in response to a target signal received from a terminal of a user who is in a wheelchair, the procedure management device 100 may generate guide data based on a path that can be moved to a wheelchair. In response to the target signal received from the terminal of the user who is the visually impaired, the procedure management device 100 can generate the guide data based on the path that the visually impaired person can move. In response to the target signal received from the user terminal having the bicycle, the procedure management device 100 can generate the guide data based on the route on which the bicycle can be boarded.

The procedure management apparatus 100 can generate guide data in which the route or places to be traveled in order to move from the current position to the boarding place of the public transportation means, board the public transportation means, and reach the destination .

The procedure management apparatus 100 determines the current state of the user based on the position and the guide data of the user terminal (S130). The instruction data generation unit 133 may determine the current state of the user by considering the position of the user terminal, considering a response signal from the transmission apparatus or the user terminal, or considering the state information stored in the user terminal. In particular, the instruction data generation unit 133 determines the current state by reading the state information from the user terminal, but when the state information is not read from the user terminal, And analyzes the received latest response signal to extract the instruction data corresponding to the operation to be performed at the current time point. For example, the current state of the user is determined based on the order of the instruction data coinciding with the position of the user terminal, taking into consideration each position corresponding to one or more instruction data included in the guide data and the position of the user terminal. Here, the current state of the user refers to the state according to the operations performed by the user. For example, the current state of the user may be determined considering the number of steps performed on the guide data including 10 operations in total. There are various methods for determining whether or not a predetermined operation is performed by the user, and it can be determined by considering the position of the user terminal or by checking a signal received from the transmitting apparatus or the user terminal. For example, if the location of the user terminal is closest to the location of the first indication data, the current state of the user is determined first.

The procedure management apparatus 100 generates instruction data corresponding to the current state of the user (S140). The instruction data generation unit 133 extracts and generates instruction data necessary for the current time of the user in consideration of the position of the user terminal, the preference condition of the user, and / or the guide data. The procedure management apparatus 100 generates different instruction data according to the current state of the user. As shown in FIG. 4, the procedure management apparatus 100 generates first guide data according to a target signal of the first user terminal T1.

The procedure management apparatus 100 may transmit the instruction data to the transmitting apparatus 400 corresponding to the instruction data (S150).

The procedure management device 100 determines whether an operation corresponding to the instruction data has been performed (S160). As a result of the determination, if the operation corresponding to the instruction data corresponding to the current state is not performed, the procedure management apparatus 100 transmits a signal from the user terminal until the operation corresponding to the instruction data is performed (S180).

In connection with S160, the procedure management apparatus 100 analyzes the instruction data, extracts the distance between the user terminal, which is the extracted performing entity, and the transmitting apparatus corresponding to the performing operation, thereby performing an operation corresponding to the instruction data Or not. In addition, the procedure management device 100 determines whether to perform an operation corresponding to the instruction data through a signal received from one of a user terminal, which is a main body corresponding to the instruction data, or one of transmission devices corresponding to the instruction data It is possible.

At this time, when the transmitting apparatus 400 detects a specific user terminal obtained through the received instruction data, it transmits a predetermined response signal to the procedure management apparatus 100 accordingly. That is, the procedure management device 100 judges whether the instruction data is to be executed or not from the response signal received from the transmission device. At this time, the response signal may include information related to the instruction data.

In another embodiment, when the transmitting apparatus 400 detects a specific user terminal obtained through the received instruction data, it may transmit a predetermined response signal to the user terminal. Accordingly, the user terminal having received the response signal can transmit the response signal to the procedure management apparatus 100, thereby determining whether or not the operation corresponding to the instruction data is performed.

If the operation corresponding to the instruction data corresponding to the current state is performed, the procedure management device 100 determines whether all the operations included in the guide data have been performed. The procedure management apparatus 100 sets the status of the user terminal on which all the operations included in the guide data are performed to be terminated, and stops the further procedure guidance.

More specifically, the procedure management apparatus 100 may determine whether the guide data is complete by determining whether the position of the user terminal matches the target position of the target signal (S170).

In this way, the procedure management method can inform only a subsequent step considering the present state of the user, instead of providing integrated information directed to a destination for a user who wants to move to a predetermined destination by using public transportation means. For example, if a user has already purchased a boarding pass or has a pre-purchased transportation pass, while providing guide data including a whole procedure for a Shinchon for a user who wants to go to Shinchon by boarding a subway, And informs the operation to be performed after the boarding pass purchasing step. In particular, the procedure management device 100 also informs the subsequent operation that the point corresponding to the subsequent operation is indicated, thereby informing the user in detail of the point at which the user should actually arrive to perform the subsequent operation.

4 is a flowchart of a procedure management method according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the procedure management method according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a target signal reception step S210, a guide data generation step S220, a state determination step S230, an instruction data generation step S240, (S250), a response signal receiving step (S260), a status information updating step (S270), and a step of determining whether a mission is completed or not (S280).

The procedure management apparatus 100 receives the target signal from the second user terminal (S210). The procedure management apparatus 100 generates guide data corresponding to the target signal (S220). The operations of S210 and S220 are the same as the operations of S110 and S120, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The procedure management apparatus 100 determines the current state of the user by extracting the state information stored in the second user terminal (S230). Each user terminal stores state information for indicating the step performed according to the guide data. The state information may be generated or changed by a control unit (processor) included in the user terminal, or may be generated or changed by the procedure management unit 100.

The procedure management device 100 generates the instruction data corresponding to the current state (S240). The procedure management apparatus 100 transmits the instruction data to the second user terminal (S250).

The procedure management device 100 determines whether a response signal to the instruction data has been received (S260). Upon receiving the instruction data, the second user terminal generates a response signal to the instruction data and transmits the response signal to the procedure management apparatus 100 when the operation is included in the instruction data. The method of determining whether or not the operation included in the instruction data has been performed may be determined by #target included in the instruction data. That is, when the second user terminal receives a signal including #target included in the instruction data from the transmission apparatus, it can determine that the operation corresponding to the instruction data has been performed. A signal including #target is received from the transmitting apparatus corresponding to #target. The transmitting apparatus can operate in such a manner that it transmits its identification information at a predetermined time period and does not receive any response.

The procedure management apparatus 100 may transmit a request for updating the status information of the second user terminal to the second user terminal and may transmit data of a predetermined area of the second user terminal, It also sends a request to change it. If the procedure management apparatus 100 does not receive a response signal to the instruction data as a result of the determination, the procedure management apparatus 100 waits for a response signal (S290).

When the state information of the second user terminal corresponds to 'end', the procedure management device 100 processes that the process for the target signal is completed.

If the status information of the second user terminal does not correspond to 'end', the procedure management apparatus 100 moves to S240 and repeats the operation of S240.

As shown in FIG. 5, the procedure management apparatus 100 generates guide data corresponding to operations to be performed by each user, corresponding to a target signal received from each user terminal.

In consideration of the current state of the first user terminal T1, the procedure management device 100 transmits the first indication data to the first user terminal T1. Accordingly, the first user terminal (T1) detects the first transmission device (R1) corresponding to the first indication data based on the information obtained from the first indication data. As the first user terminal T1 detects the first transmission device R1, the current state of the first user terminal T1 is changed to the next stage.

In another embodiment, the procedure management device 100 may transmit the first indication data to the first transmitting device (# 5071). Accordingly, the first transmitting apparatus (# 5071) waits for access of the first user terminal (T1). Upon receiving a predetermined request signal from the first user terminal, the first transmitting apparatus (# 5071) determines that an operation corresponding to the first instruction data has been performed, and transmits the corresponding signal to the procedure management apparatus 100 have.

The procedure management apparatus 100 analyzes a signal, a position, and the like from the first user terminal T1 to determine whether or not the first instruction data is completed or the current state, and based on the current state of the first user And transmits the second instruction data (# 5091) to the first user terminal T1. Of course, as described above, the second instruction data (# 5091) may be transmitted to the second transmission apparatus (# 5091). If it is determined that the operation corresponding to the second instruction data (# 5091) has been performed, the procedure management device 100 transmits the first guide data GD1 for the first user terminal T1, The third instruction data (# 7811) is transmitted.

When all the steps included in the guide data GD1 for the first user are performed, the procedure management apparatus 100 may store and manage the guide data and the target signal.

The second guide data GD2 includes instruction data of four stages according to the target signal received from the second user terminal T2. That is, according to the second guide data GD2, the procedure management device 100 transmits the first instruction data (# 5071), the second instruction data (# 7811), the third instruction data The instruction data (# 7864), and the fourth instruction data (# 9011). In consideration of the current state of the second user terminal T2, the procedure management device 100 transmits the first instruction data to the second user terminal T2. Accordingly, the second user terminal T2 detects the first transmission device R1 corresponding to the first instruction data based on the information obtained from the first instruction data (# 5071). As the second user terminal T2 detects the first transmission device R1, the current state of the second user terminal T2 is changed to the next stage.

In another embodiment, the procedure management device 100 may transmit the first indication data to the first transmitting device (# 5071). Accordingly, the first transmitting apparatus (# 5071) waits for access of the second user terminal (T2). When receiving a predetermined request signal from the second user terminal T2, the first transmitting apparatus # 5071 determines that an operation corresponding to the first instruction data has been performed and transmits a corresponding signal to the procedure management apparatus 100. [ Lt; / RTI >
