3 is a block diagram showing an example of components that may be included in a processor of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an example of a method performed by a server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Is a flow chart showing.

The server 150 according to the present embodiment serves as a platform providing a spot sharing service for sharing reviews on spots to a plurality of electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140, which are clients. The server 150 may provide a spot sharing service in conjunction with an application installed on the electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140. Spot sharing service platform includes spot review registration (collection), spot review sharing, spot visit verification (check-in), spot visit verification rewards, region-based spot recommendations, spot information search, spot course creation, etc. It may mean a server system that provides a series of services related to.

The processor 222 of the server 150 is a component for performing the spot sharing method according to FIG. 4, and as shown in FIG. 3, a review registration unit 310, an information providing unit 320, and a spot recommendation unit 330 ), and a visit compensation unit 340. Depending on the embodiment, components of the processor 222 may be selectively included or excluded from the processor 222. Further, according to an embodiment, components of the processor 222 may be separated or merged to express the function of the processor 222.

Components of the processor 222 and the processor 222 may control the server 150 to perform the steps (S410 to S440) included in the spot sharing method of FIG. 4. For example, the processor 222 and the components of the processor 222 may be implemented to execute an instruction according to the code of the operating system included in the memory 221 and the code of at least one program.

Here, the components of the processor 222 may be expressions of different functions performed by the processor 222 according to an instruction provided by the program code stored in the server 150. For example, the review registration unit 310 may be used as a functional expression of the processor 222 controlling the server 150 according to the above-described command so that the server 150 registers review information on the spot.

The processor 222 may read necessary commands from the memory 221 loaded with commands related to 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. The steps S410 to S440 to be described later may be performed in an order different from the order shown in FIG. 4, and some of the steps S410 to S440 may be omitted or an additional process may be further included.

In step S410, when a photo is selected by the user of the electronic device 110, the review registration unit 310 may specify a spot based on the coordinates tagged to the selected photo, and then register the photo as review information for the specific spot. . In addition to the picture selected by the user, the review information may include various types of content such as text, images, and documents input by the user. In other words, when a photo is selected by a user, the review registration unit 310 may specify a spot corresponding to the tagging coordinates of the selected photo and register review information including the photo for the specified spot. When there are no tagged coordinates in the picture, it is also possible to input the location coordinates related to the picture as the location coordinates of the electronic device 110 or the user directly inputs the location coordinates.

As an example, a map DB in which spots are divided by a predefined coordinate unit may be built as a component included in the server 150 or as a separate system in a form that can be linked with the server 150, and at this time, review The registration unit 310 may map the name of the specific spot to the corresponding photo by specifying a spot closest to the tagging coordinates of the photo selected by the user in the map DB as a spot for review registration. The review registration unit 310 may automatically map the name of the spot specified by the tagging coordinates of the photo, and register the title and content input by the user along with the photo as review information for the specific spot.

The review registration unit 310 may also register review information in the form of a course connecting a plurality of spots through a method of automatically mapping spots according to the tagging coordinates of the photo based on the photo. For example, the review registration unit 310 may register review information in the form of a course connecting spots and spots based on the tagging coordinates of each photo when the user selects photos of the spots visited by the user in turn or collectively selects them as a review. have. At this time, the course may be created by connecting spots in the order in which photos are selected by the user, or may be automatically created based on the distance between the spots and spots.After course creation, modifications such as adding spots, deleting spots, and changing the spot order are possible. You can also provide an editing environment.

In step S420, when the information providing unit 320 provides the user's review information for a specific spot according to the user's request of the electronic device 110, the user provides a registered photo as the review information for the specific spot. A photo registered as review information by at least one other user for the same spot may be provided together. For example, when a user of the electronic device 110 requests a review left by the user of a specific spot, the information providing unit 320 registers it as a review of another user based on the tagging coordinates of a photo registered as a review of the spot. Matched pictures can be shown. In this case, the information providing unit 320 may search for photos registered as a review for the same spot based on the tagging coordinates of the photo, not a search method using a search word or a photo as a query. In other words, the information providing unit 320 may match and provide not only photos left as reviews by the user for a specific spot but also photos left as reviews by other users for the same spot. As an example of the matching method, among the photos left as a review for the same spot, photos tagged with coordinates in the nearest order based on the tagging coordinates of the photos left as a review by the user may be ranked and displayed. Through this, the information providing unit 320 may provide a service in which the user can view not only his own pictures but also pictures of other users for the same spot.

When a gesture input in the first direction (for example, a left/right swipe) is received as a user input for a service screen providing a review of a specific user on a specific spot, the information providing unit 320 Other reviews (photos) registered as reviews of can be provided in turn. In this case, the specific user refers to the user of the review currently viewed by the user of the electronic device 110 through the service screen, and the user of the electronic device 110 or another user selected by the user of the electronic device 110 corresponds to Can be. Meanwhile, when a gesture input in the second direction (for example, vertical scrolling) is received as a user input for a service screen providing a review of a specific user for a specific spot, the information providing unit 320 You can provide search information for the spot and reviews of other users. In this case, the specific spot may mean a spot of a review currently viewed by the user of the electronic device 110 through the service screen. When the user scrolls up and down on the service screen, various search information on the spot of the review currently being viewed by the user and reviews left by other users other than the user who left the review may be provided. In other words, the information providing unit 320 may provide other reviews of a specific user when the user is viewing a specific user's review on a specific spot and then inputs a left/right swipe gesture. You can provide reviews from other users for That is, all reviews left by the same user through the horizontal screen change according to the user input, and the reviews left by other users on the same spot through the vertical screen change.

In step S430, the spot recommendation unit 330 may recommend a spot within a certain area based on a location specified by the user of the electronic device 110. The spot recommendation unit 330 may recommend a spot within a specified area by specifying a location selected by the user of the electronic device 110 or an area corresponding to the current location of the electronic device 110. You can recommend registered popular spots. In this case, the popular spot may be selected based on a popularity including the number of registered reviews and the number of visit verification. The spot recommendation unit 330 may arrange and provide photos or various contents registered as a review of each spot as a recommended spot within a certain area in a grid-type list. The spot recommending unit 330 not only allocates the same grid size for each spot, but also differently allocates the grid size according to the popularity of the spot.

The spot recommendation unit 330 may provide a local movement search interaction similar to a map pinch in/out interface in relation to spot recommendation. Initially, it is possible to recommend popular spots within the area range set by default, and when a screen zoom input is received as a user input for the service screen, the area range for spot recommendation is automatically changed according to the received zoom input and changed area You can recommend popular spots within the range. As an example, the area range for spot recommendation may be defined as a plurality of depths as an administrative area unit, for example, 1 depth is a province/city, 2 depths is a county/gu, 3 depths is a town/myeon, and 4 depths are It can be defined as dong/ri. For enlarged input, the area range can be changed in the order of 1 depth → 2 depth → 3 depth → 4 depth, and for reduced input, the area range is higher in the order of 4 depth → 3 depth → 2 depth → 1 depth. It can be changed by administrative unit. In addition to the administrative area unit, it is also possible to define the area range for spot recommendations in a specific radius unit. Accordingly, the spot recommendation unit 330 may recommend popular spots within the changed area range while automatically changing the area range for spot recommendation in response to the user's screen expansion/reduction input.

In step S440, the visit compensation unit 340 may provide compensation by authenticating a user's visit of the electronic device 110 to a spot in which review information of another user is registered. When the visit compensation unit 340 receives a visit authentication request from the user of the electronic device 110 through a service screen providing review information of other users, the photo included in the visit authentication request or the current location of the electronic device 110 The user's visit can be authenticated by using. As an example, a user of the electronic device 110 may request visit authentication including a photo taken at a spot where other users have left a review, and at this time, the visit compensation unit 340 analyzes the image for the photo included in the visit authentication request. After performing, the user's visit may be authenticated based on the image analysis result. For example, if a picture taken by a user for visit authentication is similar to a picture left as a review by another user within a certain error range, the user may authenticate as actually visiting the spot. As another example, the visit compensation unit 340 may authenticate that the user actually visited the spot when the tagging coordinates of the photos included in the visit authentication request correspond to coordinates within a predetermined distance from the spot for visit authentication. As another example, the visit compensation unit 340 may determine the current location of the electronic device 110 at a time when a visit authentication request is received from the electronic device 110, and the current location of the electronic device 110 performs visit authentication. If the user is within a certain distance from the target spot, the user can authenticate as actually visiting the spot. In the above, visit authentication for spots is described, but when all visit authentication for each spot included in the course is completed in addition to the spot, the course may be authenticated as being completed.

The visit compensation unit 340 may directly visit the spot centered on the spot and distribute the reward to users who contributed to the increase in the value of the spot, that is, visited and authenticated. Rewards can be applied to all types that can be converted into a predetermined value, such as reserves, points, and virtual currency, and it is also possible to distribute rewards into two or more types.

Can provide.

Accordingly, the user can check other reviews left by the same user through the horizontal screen change, and check the reviews left by other users on the same spot or information on the Internet through the vertical screen change.

13 to 14 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a process of recommending spots for each region according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The server 150 may recommend a popular spot selected based on the number of reviews and the number of visits authentication within a location selected by the user of the electronic device 110 or a region corresponding to the current location of the electronic device 110. In this case, the server 150 may arrange and provide photos or various contents registered as a review of each spot in a grid form.

When recommending popular spots, the server 150 provides an area movement search interaction. The server 150 may recommend popular spots within the changed area range by automatically changing the area range for spot recommendation according to an enlargement or reduction input on the service screen. . As an example, the area range for spot recommendation may be defined as a plurality of depths as an administrative area unit. For example, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, 1 depth 1310 is a city/city, 2 depths 1320 ) May be defined as county/gu, 3 depth 1330 may be defined as eup/myeon, and 4 depth 1340 may be defined as dong/ri. For enlarged input, the area range can be changed in the order of 1 depth (1310) → 2 depth (1320) → 3 depth (1330) → 4 depth (1340), and for reduced input, 4 depth (1340) The area range may be changed to the upper administrative unit in the order of →3 depth (1330) →2 depth (1320) →1 depth (1310). The number of recommended spots for each depth can be pre-designated, and in the case of a depth less than a predetermined depth, for example, 1 depth 1310, the same grid size is allocated for each spot, and in the case of 2 depths 1320 or more, the grid size according to the popularity of the spot. Can be assigned differentially.

Accordingly, the server 150 may recommend popular spots within the corresponding area range while moving the area range for spot recommendation in upper/lower administrative units according to the user's enlargement/reduction input of the service screen.

Further, referring to FIG. 15, the server 150 may authenticate a user's visit of the electronic device 110 to a spot in which review information of another user is registered, and a service page related to the user of the electronic device 110 A spot list 1510 in which a user's visit is authenticated may be provided through 1500 (eg, My Page). The server 150 issues at least one spot selected from the spot list 1510 as a separate spot list according to the user's request of the electronic device 110, or connects at least one spot selected from the spot list 1510 Thus, it is possible to provide additional functions such as creating a new spot course for the user.

As described above, according to embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to register the user's review information for a corresponding spot centering on the spot, and provide not only the user's review information on the spot, but also other user's review information by matching. . Further, according to embodiments of the present invention, a reward may be provided to a user who visits and authenticates a spot where another user has left a review. Further, according to embodiments of the present invention, review information of a specific user is provided according to a gesture input in one direction on the service screen, and review information and search information of other users for a specific spot are provided according to a gesture input in a different direction. The spot recommendation area range can be automatically changed to an upper/lower area according to an enlarged/reduced input on a service screen recommending a spot for each area, thereby recommending a spot within the changed area range.
