Embodiments of the present invention are to establish a model for proving a visit of a user based on a receipt for a point of interest in a place recommendation service platform and providing a reward for the review of the user whose visit is proved.

3 is a block diagram illustrating an example of components that a processor of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention may include, and FIG. 4 is an example of a method that a server may perform according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart showing.

The server 150 according to the present embodiment may provide a reward for a user review of a point of interest by implementing a reward model in a place recommendation service. For example, the server 150 serves as a platform for providing a place recommendation service to a plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 that are clients. The server 150 may provide a place recommendation service for a point of interest in association with an application installed on the electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140. The place recommendation service platform can register points of interest, provide points of interest (recommendations, impressions, advertisements, etc.), match targeting elements to points of interest, align points of interest, charge by providing points of interest, and share revenue for points of interest reviews. It may mean a server system that performs the operation.

The processor 222 of the server 150 is a component for performing the reward providing method according to FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 3, the visit proof unit 310, the information collection unit 320, and the place recommendation unit ( 330, and a compensation provider 340. In some embodiments, the components of the processor 222 may be optionally included in or excluded from the processor 222. In addition, according to an embodiment, the components of the processor 222 may be separated or merged to represent the functions of the processor 222.

The processor 222 and the components of the processor 222 may control the server 150 to perform steps S410 to S440 included in the compensation providing method of FIG. 4. For example, the processor 222 and the components of the processor 222 may be implemented to execute instructions according to code of an operating system included in the memory 221 and code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 222 may be representations of different functions performed by the processor 222 according to an instruction provided by a program code stored in the server 150. For example, the user visit proof unit 310 may be used as a functional representation of the processor 222 controlling the server 150 in accordance with the above-described command so that the server 150 proves the user's visit to the point of interest. have.

The processor 222 may read necessary instructions from the memory 221 loaded with instructions related to the control of the server 150. In this case, the read command may include a command for controlling the processor 222 to execute steps S410 to S440 to be described later.

In operation S410, the visit proof unit 310 may verify the visit of the user by reading a receipt for the point of interest. The user may submit, that is, upload the receipt issued at the point of interest to the service platform through camera shooting. In other words, the user may upload a receipt image taken in advance or a receipt image acquired in real time through shooting to the server 150. Thus, the visit proof unit 310 may verify the user visit confirmation to the point of interest by reading the uploaded receipt and confirming the user's visit to the point of interest specified from the read result. For example, the visit proof unit 310 may provide a character reading function (eg, an optical character reader (OCR), etc.), and extract information about the point of interest from a receipt uploaded through the character reading function, and corresponding point of interest. You can check your visit to In this case, the visit proof unit 310 may confirm that the user has visited in the proof of visit based on the receipt, and may recognize the visit as a valid visit only. How to verify that you are visiting will be explained in detail later.

In operation S420, the information collecting unit 320 may collect the information extracted from the receipt as review information about the point of interest visited by the user. The information collecting unit 320 may store and maintain the review information on the point of interest in a database on the platform by matching the receipt image with the uploaded user information. The information collection unit 320 may obtain review information including point of interest information, visit information, menu information, and the like from the receipt submitted by the user. The review information may include information extracted from the receipt, as well as information on the Internet related to the information extracted from the receipt. For example, if the point of interest is a restaurant, the point of interest information may include basic information such as the name of the restaurant (mutual name), phone number, address, and business type, and the visit information may include the date and time when the user visited the restaurant and the total number of people visited. The menu information may include quantity and price information for each individual menu ordered by the user, a total amount of payment, and the like. The information collecting unit 320 may provide a user with a registration status and a compensation level by checking in real time whether a corresponding point of interest is a place registered on the platform based on the information obtained from the receipt.

The server 150 may build and maintain a business type, address, phone number, menu, price of each menu, etc. of the point of interest pre-registered in the platform as a database on the platform, and update existing information in the database by using information collected from the receipt. Or register new information and process review aggregation. For example, the server 150 may update the information on the database by obtaining the type of business or the telephone number of the corresponding location by using the point of interest information. In addition, the server 150 may accumulate the information collected from the receipt and aggregate records (eg, the number of visitors, the total sales status, the sales ranking for each menu, etc.) related to the point of interest. In addition, if the point of interest information collected from the receipt does not exist in the database, the server 150 may register the point of interest as a new point of interest. The menu list is maintained for each point of interest in the database on the platform. Similarly, if there is no menu information collected from the receipt, it is also possible to register as a new menu.

The server 150 may collect evaluation information (eg, ratings, comments, photos, etc.) for each point of interest for the service users, and the evaluation information of the user whose visit confirmation is verified through the receipt is applied with weights. Can be reflected in the platform. The server 150 provides the service users with evaluation information on the point of interest. In this case, the evaluation information of the user whose visit confirmation is verified through the receipt may be displayed separately from other evaluation information.

In operation S430, the place recommendation unit 330 may produce and recommend a point of interest list including at least one point of interest. The place recommender 330 may publish a point of interest list including at least one point of interest of the point of interest visited by the user according to the user's request, and the content of which the service users may subscribe to the list of points of interest published by the user. It can be recommended in the form. In addition, the place recommendation unit 330 may recommend a point of interest such as a specific purpose or theme to service users based on a record related to the point of interest. For example, we use profile information (eg, age, gender, place of residence, interests, etc.) of a user who has been verified to visit a point of interest as reference data for referrals, and the platform can be used as a "date place" or "family meeting place" You can recommend points of interest for a variety of purposes. In addition, the place recommendation unit 330 may recommend a 'popular menu' at the point of interest based on a record for each menu of the point of interest, for example, a sales ranking of each menu.

In operation S440, the reward provider 340 may provide a reward to a user who has produced a corresponding point of interest list based on the subscription and review information on the point of interest list. For example, the reward provider 340 may grant a copyright to the creator of the point of interest list consisting of the points of interest visited by the user, and whether other users subscribe to the point of interest list, the number of subscribers, the point of interest of the subscriber In consideration of reviews according to visits, a portion of the profits obtained from the platform may be distributed for a period of time to the copyrighted user of the list of points of interest. A detailed method and process of providing a reward based on subscription and review information on a list of points of interest will be described in detail later. In addition, the reward provider 340 may distribute a portion of the profit for a certain portion obtained from the platform for a predetermined period of time to a user who first registers review information based on a receipt for a point of interest not registered on the platform. . The rate of revenue share or duration of revenue share may be determined by the extent to which the user contributes to the platform, for example, the more users with a copyrighted point list or the more subscribers to the point of interest list, the more revenue will be distributed. Can be.

5 is for explaining an example of a process of producing a point of interest list.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user_A 510 may upload a receipt of a POI_1 visited by the user to the place recommendation service platform 550 in the form of an image file through camera shooting. The receipt upload may verify the visit of the user_A 510 to the POI_1 of interest.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may read the receipt of the POI_1 of the POI_1 uploaded by the user_A 510 to obtain review information including the PO information, visit information, and menu information from the read result.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may store the review information on the POI_1 of the POI_1 where the visit of the user_A 510 is verified, by matching the identification information and the receipt image file of the user_A 510.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may utilize review information obtained from a receipt uploaded by the user_A 510 in recommending a POI_1 of interest to service users.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may provide a reward to the user_A 510 who has registered review information by uploading a receipt for the POI_1 of the POI. In particular, when the point of interest POI_1 is a point of interest that does not exist on the platform, the place recommendation service platform 550 may distribute a portion of the platform revenue to the user_A 510 who initially registered the review information.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may produce at least one point of interest verified as a receipt by the user_A 510 as a point of interest list 501 and publish it as a subscribeable list. The point of interest list 501 may be composed of points of interest (eg, POI_1 to POI_4) that are directly selected by the user_A 510 or classified according to a predetermined criterion (location, business type, recent review order, etc.). .

The place recommendation service platform 550 may grant the user_A 510 who issued the point of interest list 501 a copyright which is a right to the point of interest list 501. The right recognition period for the point of interest list 501 is set to a predetermined period (eg, one year) and may provide a reward to the user_A 510 during the period.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may recommend the point of interest list 501 to the service users, and the service users may subscribe to the point of interest list 501.

Accordingly, when the user_A 510 photographs a receipt of a point of interest visited by the user and uploads it to the place recommendation service platform 550, the place recommendation service platform 550 may transmit the information extracted from the receipt to the user_A 510. A point of interest list 501 may be generated that is automatically stored as review information of the visited point of interest and disclosed to the outside based on the list of the point of interest in which the review information is stored.

FIG. 6 illustrates an example of a process of providing a reward to a list producer based on subscription and review information for a list of points of interest.

Referring to FIG. 6, user_B 620 may subscribe to the point of interest list 501 produced by user_A 510 on the place recommendation service platform 550.

User_B 620 uploads a receipt of a point of interest, for example, POI_2, included in point of interest list 501 issued by User_A 510 to place recommendation service platform 550 for point of interest POI_2. The visit of user_B 620 may be verified.

Similarly, the place recommendation service platform 550 may read the receipt of the POI_2 of the POI uploaded by the user_B 620 to obtain review information including the PO information, visit information, and menu information from the read result.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may use the review information obtained from the receipt uploaded by the user_B 620 in recommending the POI_2 of interest to the service users.

If the user_B (620) proves that the user_B (620) has visited through the receipt upload for the point of interest list 501 produced by user_A (510), the rights of user_A (510) are granted to the list 501. The portion of revenue generated by the place recommendation service platform 550 may be distributed to the user_A 510 during the period of time to provide a reward for the point of interest list 501.

User_B 620 whose visit is verified by uploading a receipt for the point of interest list 501 produced by user_A 510 may also receive a revenue share as a reward for the visit review of point of interest POI_2.

Accordingly, user_B 620 may subscribe to the point of interest list 501 published by user_A 510 and visit review by uploading a receipt for points of interest included in the list 501 to which he or she subscribes. You can leave Accordingly, the place recommendation service platform 550 rewards the user_A 510, the producer of the point of interest list 501 to which the user_B 620 subscribes, according to the subscription and the visit review of the user_B 620. Can provide.

In the above description, a reward model in which subscription and visit reviews are combined with respect to the point of interest list is described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to provide a reward for the subscription and a reward for the visit review separately.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may distribute revenue of a platform generated by advertisements to a point of interest as an example of profit sharing. Another example is that a manager of a point of interest (eg, an owner) may receive a reward given to a list producer. As a sponsor, you can provide a certain amount of compensation.

7 illustrates an example of a process of providing a reward provided by a sponsor to a list producer.

Referring to FIG. 7, the place recommendation service platform 550 generates a list for a business owner of a point of interest included in the list 501 with respect to the point of interest list 501 produced by the user_A 510. Alerts about subscriptions, subscriptions, visit reviews, and more. For example, a point of interest list 501 that includes a point of interest POI_2 is produced or a subscriber of the point of interest list 501 that contains a point of interest POI_2 is added or a subscriber point of interest list 501 that contains a point of interest POI_2 is added. When the user_B 620 visits the POI_2 of the PO, the notification may be provided to an admin page of the POI_2 of the PO or the owner terminal of the POI_2 of the PO.

The owner of POI_2 may sponsor a point of interest list 501 to directly propose a compensation provided to the user_A 510, the producer of the point of interest list 501, and the place recommendation service platform 550. The user may display the compensation amount suggested by the owner of the POI_2 in the POI_2 with respect to the interest_point list 501 and compensate the amount to the user_A 510 which is the producer of the list.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may provide a notification to the owner of the point of interest when a list generation, subscription, visit review, etc. of the point of interest occurs, and further, visits the point of interest based on the review information through the receipt. The report may include a user's age distribution, gender distribution, average payment amount, and the like. Owners of the point of interest may be targeted marketing, such as by supporting a reward by specifying the point of interest list on the place recommendation service platform (550).

Hereinafter, a description will be given of a method of confirming a user's visit.

The process of confirming the user's own visit may be included in the above-described step S410 and performed by the visit proof unit 310.

8 illustrates an example of a process of confirming a user visit.

Referring to FIG. 8, in step S801, when the receipt image file is uploaded from the user terminal, for example, the electronic device 110, the visit proof unit 310 may include EXIF (exchangeable image file format) information included in the receipt image file. Terminal information can be obtained from. The EXIF information is an image file format used for a camera and may include location and spatial information such as a longitude and latitude coordinate, an elevation, and a shooting azimuth along with basic information such as a camera model name and a shooting exposure degree.

In step S802, the visit proof unit 310 compares the terminal information obtained from the receipt image file with the terminal information of the actual electronic device 110 uploading the receipt image file, and whether the user visits according to whether the two terminal information matches. Can be determined. The visit proof unit 310 compares the terminal information photographing the receipt at the time of uploading the receipt image file with the terminal information actually uploading the receipt, and determines that the uploaded receipt is a receipt by the user's photographing when the receipt information is matched with each other. You can admit your visit.

9 illustrates another example of a process of confirming a user visit.

Referring to FIG. 9, in operation S901, when the receipt image file is uploaded from the electronic device 110, the visit proof unit 310 may acquire the location information at the time of capturing the image from the receipt image file, that is, the receipt photographing position. have. For example, the visit proof unit 310 may obtain location information tagged in the receipt image file or location information included in the EXIF information of the receipt image file.

In step S902, the visit proof unit 310 may extract the information of the point of interest from the receipt by reading the uploaded receipt image file through a text reading function, and the location of the point of interest using the information extracted from the receipt. Information and visit times can be obtained. In other words, the visit proof unit 310 may obtain the address and the visit time of the point of interest from the receipt reading result.

In step S903, the visit proof unit 310 uses the location record collected from the electronic device 110 when the receipt photographing position is near the address of the point of interest extracted from the receipt, before and after the predetermined time of the visit time of the point of interest. The location information of the device 110 may determine whether there is a history located within a predetermined radius of the location information of the point of interest. In this case, if the history corresponding to the receipt information exists in the location record of the electronic device 110, the visit proof unit 310 may prove that the receipt by the user visits. In other words, the visit proof unit 310 determines that the user has actually visited the point of interest when the user has a history of being located near the POI place indicated on the receipt within a predetermined time (for example, one hour) before and after the time indicated on the receipt. You can admit your visit.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively prevent the abusing of the proof of visit using the receipt by confirming that the user has visited the proof of visit based on the receipt and acknowledging it as a valid visit only for the visit.

Furthermore, the server 150 may automatically tag the point of interest information related to another photo uploaded by the user using the receipt information uploaded by the user.

It is assumed that the record that the user uploaded the receipt is stored and maintained on the platform, and confirmed that it is the user's visit to the uploaded receipt. When the user uploads another picture in the same domain as the place recommendation service or through a related service (social networking service, data cloud service, etc.) that can be linked with the place recommendation service, the same user is already present in the picture. You can automatically tag the point of interest information of the uploaded receipt. For example, the server 150 compares the terminal information on which the receipt was taken with the terminal information on which another photo was taken, and judges that the server 150 is the same, or user information uploading the receipt using deep learning or existing information on the platform. If you know that the other person included the user who uploaded the receipt, check the location information included in the EXIF information of the other photo and the point of interest information of the previously uploaded receipt to map the point of interest mapped to the photo. Information can be recorded.

Points of interest information automatically mapped to other photos using receipt information may be utilized in a photo search, and may be provided as a search result of a corresponding point of interest for the photos when searching.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a user uploads a picture through a place recommendation service or another service that can be linked with the place recommendation service, the point of interest information may be automatically tagged using the receipt information previously uploaded by the same user. It can be used to search for pictures.
