METHOD FOR MANAGING DEMAND AND SUPPLY ON PEDESTRIAN NAVIGATION SERVICE AND SYSTEM THEREOF

The present invention relates to a method and system for managing the demand and supply for a route guidance service, and more particularly, to a method and system for managing the demand and supply for a route guide service that can continuously improve and maintain service quality while triggering the construction of a route guide service It relates to a method and a system for the same.

Currently, a lot of road guidance services for pedestrians have been studied and serviced, but in the case of an indoor space, there is a problem of map construction or positioning quality accuracy.

In the past, there was a system in which the construction of an indoor pedestrian service was started only by the server operator's decision and demand, the public's work was assigned, and compensation was made according to the policy. However, this method has a problem in that it cannot grasp the demand or keep up with the demand. In addition, in order for location-based services to be provided not only in commercially operated spaces, but also in public transportation terminals accessed by a large number of people, or from the viewpoint of public welfare for the visually impaired, services must be provided and operated continuously with relatively small profits.

Recently, crowdsourcing techniques have been applied to provide location-based services that require a lot of time and effort, but there are fundamental problems such as quality management and motivation to participate, so the generalization is slow.

In fact, in order to improve location-based service by public contribution in many spaces, it is necessary to participate in the collection and verification work intrinsically or to make a voluntary contribution through explicit or motivating. In addition, in order to provide services for the general public as well as services for the transportation and visually impaired, more participation and contribution methods are needed, which is difficult to achieve with a rather simple and passive public relations approach. There is a need for a system in which the supply and demand for In addition to commercial purposes, it can play a decisive role in revitalizing the platform ecosystem if it allows continuous public participation in public demand from the point of view of social welfare and there is an automatic management system.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and system for managing the supply and demand for a road guide service that can continuously improve and maintain service quality and induce continuous public participation while triggering the construction of a road guide service .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for managing supply and demand for a navigation service in a system. The method includes the steps of registering a building demand for the navigation service, registering a supply for collection or verification from a supplier, performing refinement on information supplied from the supplier, and the degree of refinement performed Compensating the supplier according to

According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the construction of location-based services in indoor and outdoor spaces, active and voluntary indoor route guidance for the general public as well as the transportation-weakened and the visually impaired, as well as automatic connection of supply and demand, as well as quality and participation management interlocking functions Service can be built and maintained smoothly.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily implement them. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. And in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted, and similar reference numerals are attached to similar parts throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification and claims, when a part "includes" a certain element, it means that other elements may be further included, rather than excluding other elements, unless otherwise stated.

Now, a method and a system for managing supply and demand for a road guide service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a diagram illustrating a system for managing supply and demand for a route guidance service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the system (hereinafter, referred to as “management system” for convenience) for managing the supply and demand for a route guidance service includes a demand status management unit 110 , a collection management unit 120 , and a crowdsourcing compensation management unit 130 . , a quality management unit 140 and a security management unit 150 .

The demand status management unit 110 manages the demand status for the construction of a road guide service based on the map for each region. The map of the demand area is stored and managed in a map database (database, DB). The demand status management unit 110 registers the demand for road guidance service construction, and manages information on which area and to what extent the service is built among numerous indoor/outdoor pedestrian guidance service sites. The site indicates a space in which indoor route guidance is provided. The demand status management unit 110 may add a service area and trigger service establishment by allowing the demand registration to be made based on the demand voluntarily raised for the welfare of the people or the construction information at the public institution level.

The collection management unit 120 collects location-based service (LBS) related information by using a crowd sourcing technique made by experts or general participants. Crowdsourcing can be done with or without the user's awareness, and by providing both methods, it is possible to spread the LBS supply. An expert or general participant performs a collection operation using a collection terminal, and the collected information is supplied to the collection management unit 120 . The collection terminal may mean a terminal in which a collection application is installed. The collection application collects positioning information such as wireless signal strength, geomagnetic information, image, and barometric pressure of a narrowband network such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that can be used for location estimation in the entire indoor area. Location estimation is made through a fingerprint technique using the collected Wi-Fi, BLE, and magnetic resource measurement information. The fingerprint technique is, for example, a method of generating a positioning fingerprint DB using the Wi-Fi wireless signal strength, comparing the wireless signal strength of the user with the wireless signal strength of the positioning fingerprint DB, and estimating the best matching user's position . The developer may use the verification application to estimate the location and verify the accuracy of the location estimate. The verification application performs the function of estimating the position and verifying the accuracy of the estimated position.

In addition, it is possible to provide guidance to the desired destination for pedestrians in the verified area through a service application that provides a road guidance service. Location estimation may be performed through a service application. When a pedestrian requests a location at a specific location, the service application compares the wireless signal strength at that location with the wireless strength of the positioning fingerprint DB and provides an estimated location.

The crowdsourcing compensation management unit 130 provides a reasonable compensation to the provider who has supplied the information according to the compensation policy for the information collected by the crowdsourcing method. According to the compensation policy, various compensation techniques such as auction, lottery, fame, play, contract, and market system can be accommodated, and the compensation policy is stored in the policy DB. In the compensation policy, not only the profit based on economic logic but also the system to satisfy the supply and demand in the welfare dimension can be reflected together. For example, the crowdsourcing compensation management unit 130 provides service to the provider through linking with the volunteer activity platform (eg, vms.or.kr, 1365.go.kr, etc., which correspond to the volunteer activity record portal). It can be processed to be reflected in the record. In this way, more ordinary people can voluntarily contribute to service construction through the provision of information.

The quality control unit 140 refines the information collected by the collection management unit 120 and compensates the supplier who supplied the information according to the refined information. The refined information is stored in the location fingerprint DB. In addition, if the quality management unit 140 determines that the accuracy of the location estimation value is lower than before from the information collected from the terminal in which the verification application is installed, it is determined that the positioning quality improvement is necessary by additional collection, and a re-collection step through the collection request It performs a function of continuously improving the accuracy of the position estimation value through

The management system 100 performs compensation measures for the corresponding information according to the degree of refinement of the corresponding information (S530), and creates or updates the positioning fingerprint DB.

The security management unit 150 manages the provider's personal information. The security management unit 150 provides a function of reliably guaranteeing the provider's personal information. Such personal information is stored in the client DB.

In order for the system platform configured in this way to be continuously operated, more than anything else, there must be a large number of people participating in service construction, and for that purpose, collecting contributors who will provide information with fair compensation as well as collecting compensation is the key to system maintenance.

According to an embodiment of the present invention as a matter not specifically considered in the existing system, location information is supplied by the provider from various spaces, particularly, indoor spaces.

The indoor space may include, for example, a school, a hospital, a public health center, a local government, a welfare center, a museum, a cultural center, a shopping center, a train station or train station, a bus terminal, and the like. In addition, the crowdsourcing compensation management unit 130 may reflect the provider's information provision behavior as a service activity record as a compensation policy. In this way, much more voluntary collection and contribution to service establishment are possible, and information collection can be performed and refined by youth, service recipients, middle-aged people, and the disabled.

2 is a diagram illustrating a method of registering a service establishment demand in the management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the management system 100 receives a demand for establishing a road guide service from an operator or through an external system acceptance linkage ( S210 ). External system acceptance interlocking is automatically initiated through the auto-registration interface when there is a demand for voluntary participation in the establishment of services for specific protection facilities by collecting site construction information of the government, local governments, or non-governmental and non-profit organizations or using social networks (SNS). allowed to be

The management system 100 records all the demands (S220), and checks whether the received demand for service construction is an existing service area (S230).

If the management system 100 is in a state in which performance improvement or update is required in the existing service area (S240), it proceeds to start the location collection demand (S250). Since the management system 100 does not require additional resource collection if performance improvement or update is not yet required for the existing service area, the processing of demand for service establishment is terminated (S260). In this case, the management system 100 may allocate the location collection demand task to other sites (spaces) or demand organizations that require performance improvement or update. Here, the initiation of the demand for location collection may include the process of indicating that the region requires resource collection by crowdsourcing for the corresponding area, configuring a supplier who will collect and supply the resource, and assigning tasks to the supplier. Task allocation refers to specifying to the supplier what resources to collect in a given area.

On the other hand, if the demand for service construction corresponds to the new service area, the management system 100 registers the new service area (S270) and initiates the location collection demand (S250).

Referring to FIG. 3 , the management system 100 checks whether the supplier is an existing supplier customer when the supply for the collection or verification operation is registered (S310).

The management system 100 takes compensation measures such as a paid or free method for the corresponding supplier (S330), and if the corresponding supplier is a new supplier, receives new supply information for the new supplier (S340), and takes compensation measures (S330) ( S330).

The management system 100 terminates task assignment when it is determined that the supply for the collection or verification work is sufficiently made. If the management system 100 is the task assignment end step (S350), ends the supply request processing (S360), and performs the steps (S310 ~ S360) until the task assignment is terminated.

4 is a diagram illustrating a method of managing positioning verification and service information in a management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , when the management system 100 enters the positioning verification and service information management phase ( S410 ), it first manages service information ( S420 ) and checks whether positioning quality is improved ( S430 ). The service information may include information such as a space providing a service and a management entity, a service start date, and various positioning resource combination states.

If the management system 100 confirms that the positioning quality is improved by showing that the accuracy of the positioning value is improved from the information collected from the terminal in which the verification application is installed, check whether the collection amount satisfies the set target (S440), and the collection amount If the set target is satisfied, the collection amount is reflected in the updated state (S450).

On the other hand, if the management system 100 determines that the accuracy is low and additional collection is required, since the positioning quality improvement is required by the additional collection, the collection request status or the collection request rank is raised and registered (S460), step (S450) proceed with

The management system 100 performs compensation actions of the provider according to the registered compensation policy based on the obtained information (S470), and records and manages related history/security information while maintaining the history and personal information protection (S480). Relevant history/security information may include location and time information collected by the provider, amount of collection, types of information collected, compensation policy information applied to contributors, and the like.

On the other hand, the management system 100 records and discards only the contribution information for the information determined not to conform to the quality improvement (S490).

5 is a diagram illustrating a method for managing service quality in a management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the management system 100 enters the service quality management stage (S510), the collection of WiFi, BLE, geomagnetism, images, etc. due to the user's contribution, or performs purification work on information such as fingerprints for existing positioning (S520) . Since the information is collected from an unspecified number of people, refining of information not performed by the provider who provided the information is carried out.

The management system 100 performs compensation measures for the corresponding information according to the degree of refinement of the corresponding information (S530), and creates or updates the positioning fingerprint DB (S540). For example, if the time required for the purification of information in the management system 100 is short, it means that the provider has performed the purification process on the corresponding information, and thus a higher reward can be provided.
