The search element information may include at least one of destination related keyword information and user location information.

Here, the destination may refer to information on a place (a place where the user desires to store the article) that the user wants to store (owned article). According to this, destination-related keyword information is, for example, various keyword information such as subway station names such as Seoul Forest Station and Yeoksam Station, business names (building names) such as Dunkin and Hyundai Department Store, local names such as Cheorwon, and tourist destination names such as Namsan and Jirisan Mountains. may include However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the destination-related keyword information may include, for example, information on a specific point obtained (obtained) by a user selecting (designating) a specific point on the map.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, an article desired by the user to be stored in the locker is referred to as an owned article, and the possessed article may be referred to as a possessed article, a desired article to be stored, a storage article, and the like. An article may also be otherwise referred to herein as a load or the like.

The user's location information refers to information on the user's current location (current location), which may be, for example, GPS location information obtained through a GPS sensor of the user terminal 1 .

When the search request information is obtained, the obtaining unit 110 may recognize that the user desires to search for information (eg, location, etc.) about the locker existing in relation to the search request information.

The selection unit 120 may select a locker matching the search element information among a plurality of lockers as the matching locker.

Here, the plurality of lockers may refer to all lockers (lockers) that can store items existing (existing) on the earth (worldwide), and the plurality of lockers may be referred to as existing multiple lockers. can In addition, in the present application, the locker may be referred to as a locker, a storage, a storage box, a locker, and the like.

For example, when destination-related keyword information (for example, a keyword of 'Seoul Forest Station') is obtained as search element information, the selection unit 120 is owned by the user around (around) the location corresponding to the destination-related keyword information. It can be recognized that the person wishes to find a locker where items can be stored. Accordingly, the selection unit 120 may select a locker located within a preset distance from a location corresponding to the destination-related keyword information among the plurality of lockers (ie, the location of Seoul Forest Station) as the matching locker.

Here, the preset distance may be, for example, 400m. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the numerical value and the set value of the numerical unit may be variously set (changed), such as being changed (variable) by a user input, for example.

In addition, when the user's location information (that is, the user's current GPS location information) is obtained as the search element information, the selection unit 120 enables storage of owned items in the vicinity (around) of the current location where the user is located. It can be perceived as wishing to find a locker. Accordingly, the selection unit 120 may select a locker located within a preset distance from the user's location information (ie, current GPS location information) among the plurality of lockers as the matching locker. Here, since the description of the preset distance has been previously described, the overlapping description below will be omitted.

According to this, when the search element information is obtained, the selection unit 120 responds to the acquisition of a storage box located within a preset distance from a location corresponding to a destination among a plurality of lockers or a storage box located within a preset distance from the current location of the user. You can search (explore) whether this exists. Thereafter, the selection unit 120 may select, as a matching article locker, an article box that has been searched (searched) to match the search element information, based on the search (search) result.

The selection unit 120 may select at least one storage box from among the plurality of storage boxes as a matching storage box. In other words, the number of matching defective boxes selected by the selection unit 120 may be, for example, at least one or more.

At this time, as an example, if it is searched (searched) that there is no locker matching the search element information among the plurality of lockers (that is, there is no locker located within a preset distance from the location corresponding to the search element information) If not), the selection unit 120 sets the preset distance setting value to a larger second distance value (ie, the second preset distance value) greater than the currently set first distance value (ie, the first preset distance value). distance), and re-searching (re-searching) whether a matching locker exists based on the changed second distance value may be performed. The selection unit 120 performs a change that increases the preset value of the preset distance (that is, the set value of the search/search range of the locker) step by step until the number of matching lockers becomes at least one, Re-search may be performed again based on a preset distance value.

Illustratively, the first distance value (the value of the first preset distance) may be 40 m as described above, and the second distance value (the value of the second preset distance) may be 500 m, but is not limited thereto , the numerical value may be set variously.

According to this, the matching article locker (ie, article locker matching the search element information) selected by the selection unit 120 means that the search element information means at least one of destination-related keyword information and the user's location information. Accordingly, it may mean a storage box located in the vicinity of the user based on the current location of the user or in the vicinity of the destination set by the user. Accordingly, in the present application, the matching locker may be referred to as a neighboring locker or the like. That is, the matching locker is a locker located in the vicinity of the user or a destination set by the user among the plurality of lockers, and may be referred to as a peripheral locker differently.

In addition to acquiring search request information, the acquiring unit 110 may further acquire article information about an owned article that the user wants to keep. Here, the item information includes information about the size of the item (ie, the item owned), information regarding the type of item (for example, a backpack, carrier, plastic bag, etc.), and information regarding the number of owned items desired to be stored. It may include at least one.

The article information acquired by the acquiring unit 110 is typing information input by the user directly typing through the user terminal 1 or the possession article acquired by the user photographing the owned article through the camera of the user terminal 1 . It may be article image information about (ie, an image of an owned article).

The acquisition unit 110 may recognize, for example, the size (size) of the owned product based on the acquired product information.

At this time, when the product information is, for example, product image information, the acquisition unit 110 may perform image analysis on the product image information that is the acquired product information, and through image analysis, the product (owned product) in the product image information. can be recognized by identifying the size of Here, as the image analysis, various image analysis algorithms known in the prior art or developed in the future may be applied.

When the acquiring unit 110 acquires the product information, the selection unit 120 may store a matching storage box in which the storage (actual storage) of the belongings corresponding to the product information is possible in the matching product storage box. Matching goods It can be identified as a storage box.

In this case, among the matching lockers, the locker in which the belongings are determined to be stored may be referred to as a storage-capable matching locker. On the other hand, among the matching lockers, the remaining matching lockers except for the matching lockers that can be stored are article lockers in which it is determined that it is impossible to store the belongings, and may be referred to as a matching locker that cannot be stored.

Specifically, the selection unit 120 may primarily select a storage box matching the search element information among a plurality of storage boxes as the matching storage box. Thereafter, when the acquiring unit 110 acquires the product information, the selection unit 120 recognizes the size of the owned product based on the acquired product information and considers the recognized size of the owned product, and selects the first matching matching It is possible to identify (select) a matching locker that is judged to be capable of storing the belongings corresponding to the item information among the lockers as a matching locker capable of secondary storage.

At this time, the matching storage box that is not identified as the storage possible matching storage box among the first selected matching storage boxes means the matching storage box in which the storage (actual storage) of the belongings is judged impossible, and the selection unit 120 can be identified as a matching locker that cannot be stored.

At this time, in an example of the present application, only the size of the owned item is considered as an example of item information when identifying (selecting) the matching item storage box that can be stored among the matching item lockers, but it is not limited thereto, and the size of the owned item as well as , a plurality of pieces of information (ie, size, type, number of owned items) input as product information, such as the number of owned items and the type of owned items, may all be considered. That is, the selection unit 120 can store a storage box that satisfies all of the plurality of pieces of information (ie, the size, type, and number of owned items) received as product information, that is, can store owned items corresponding to the plurality of pieces of information. It can be identified (selected) as a matching locker.

The controller 130 may display information about the matching locker selected by the selector 120 on the screen of the user terminal 1 . The controller 130 may control the screen of the user terminal 1 (control screen display).

Here, the information on the matching locker may include at least one of location information, address information, and usage status information of the matching locker. The usage status information of the matching locker may include attribute information of a plurality of slots that can be stored in the matching locker and reservation status information of the plurality of slots.

Here, the attribute information of the plurality of slots may mean information on the arrangement position (arrangement structure) and size of the slots.

In addition, the reservation state for the slot may include a first state in which a reservation is made in the corresponding slot and a second state in which a reservation is not made in the corresponding slot. A slot in the first state means that the actual item is being stored in the slot, or that the actual item is not stored, but another user (other user) wants to store the item in the slot and will use the slot. It may refer to a state in which a reservation (ie, reservation in advance) is made in advance (in advance). The second state of the slot may mean a state in which the corresponding slot is empty as no article is stored in the corresponding slot or no advance reservation is made for the corresponding slot.

For example, when the reservation state for the first slot is the first state among the plurality of slots, it may mean a state in which advance reservation or storage of goods for the first slot is impossible. On the other hand, when the reservation state for the first slot is the second state, it may mean that a reservation or storage of goods is currently possible for the corresponding slot.

The control unit 130 maps the location of the matching locker selected by the selector 120 as an example in connection with the map (that is, a locker matching search element information, which may mean a nearby locker) as an icon. can be displayed on the That is, the controller 130 may provide a map (icon display map) in which the location of the matching locker is displayed as an icon to the user terminal 1 and display it on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

The controller 130 may further display information about the identified storable matching lockers on the screen of the user terminal 1 when the selector 120 identifies the matching storage boxes among the matching lockers. . In this case, when the information on the matching locker is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 , the control unit 130 may display the information on the matching locker that can be stored and the information on the locker that cannot be stored. .

In the present application, as an example, the control unit 130 displays information about the matching locker, which includes information about the matching locker that can be stored and the information about the matching locker that cannot be stored, as information about the matching locker, on the screen. only, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As another example, the controller 130 may display only information about the storable matching lockers identified from among the matching lockers, not the entire matching lockers, on the screen. In the present apparatus 100, the latter example may be more preferable in consideration of practicality.

The control unit 130 displays the location of the matching locker on the map as an icon, but at this time, an icon corresponding to the storable matching locker among the matching lockers is displayed in the matching lockers except for the storable matching lockers among the matching lockers. (that is, it can be displayed in a form that is easier to recognize or identify than an icon corresponding to (ie, storage impossible matching locker)).

That is, the controller 130 displays the icon corresponding to the storage-capable matching locker on the map in a form that is easier to recognize or identify than the icon corresponding to the non-storable matching locker, and the icon is displayed on the map (icon display map) may be provided to the user terminal 1 and displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

The controller 130 may be connected to the user terminal 1 and the network 2 to control the operation of the user terminal 1 (eg, control the screen display of the user terminal). The controller 130 may control the operation of the user terminal 1 so that the icon display map is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

When the icon display map is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1, the control unit 130 displays the icon corresponding to the storage-capable matching locker in a form that is easier to recognize or identify than the icon corresponding to the non-storable matching locker. It is possible to control the operation of the user terminal 1 as possible.

In this case, displaying the icon in a form that is easier to recognize or identify may mean displaying at least one of a visually emphasized form, an expanded form, a form accompanying an auditory effect, and a dynamic animation form. . Here, the form accompanying the auditory effect may mean, for example, changing the color or thickness of the border line of the icon corresponding to the storage possible matching candidate storage box. This is only an example for helping understanding of the present application, and is not limited thereto.

For example, it is assumed that the selection unit 120 identifies the first to third lockers as lockers matching the search element information among the plurality of lockers (matching candidate lockers). In this case, it is assumed that the selector 120 identifies the third storage box among the matching candidate storage boxes (the first storage box to the third storage box) as the storage-capable matching storage box. In this case, the first locker and the second locker may be identified as non-storable matching lockers.

In this case, the selection unit 120, for example, when the search element information is the user's location information, the three lockers (first to third lockers) to the lockers located within a preset distance from the user's current location. It may mean that three matching candidate lockers including . In addition, the identification of the third locker as a storage-capable matching locker means that the selection unit 120 has an empty slot in which only the third locker among the three lockers can actually store the belongings owned by the user. It may mean that it has been identified (recognized) as a locker.

According to this, the first storage box and the second storage box are storage boxes in which an empty slot does not exist, or even if an empty slot exists, the empty slot is large enough to put an article (owned article) having the size of the owned article. Because it is not an empty slot of (for example, when the size of the empty slot is smaller than the size of the owned item) can mean On the other hand, in the third locker, there is an empty slot, and in particular, as the empty slot has a size to put an item (owned item) having the size of the owned item (for example, the size of the empty slot is the size of the owned item) In a larger case), it may mean a storage box that is judged to be able to actually store the belongings (storable matching storage box).

The selector 120 may recognize the first storage box and the second storage box as non-storable matching storage boxes, and recognize the third storage box as the storage-capable matching storage boxes. Thereafter, the controller 130 may display the positions of the three lockers (the matching candidate lockers including the first to third lockers) on the map as icons. That is, the controller 130 may display an icon corresponding to each of the three lockers at each location of the three lockers on the map.

At this time, when the controller 130 displays the icon on the map, the icon corresponding to the third locker (the icon of the third locker) corresponds to the icon corresponding to the first locker and the second locker (that is, the icon of the second locker). It can be controlled to be displayed on the map in a form that is easier to recognize or identify than the icon of the first locker and the icon of the second locker). In other words, the controller 130 sets the icon corresponding to the third locker to visually emphasize the icon corresponding to the first locker and the icon corresponding to the second locker, increase the size of the icon, and provide an auditory effect. It can be displayed in the accompanying form and in the form of a dynamic animation.

This device 100 does not simply provide information (eg, location, etc.) of storage boxes (that is, matching storage boxes, nearby storage boxes) located in the vicinity of the user or in the vicinity of the destination set by the user, but among them By providing the information of the locker (storable matching locker) having an empty slot of a size that can actually store the belongings that the user wants to keep (that is, the items considering the size of the belongings), it can be placed in a practical locker. information can be provided. In this device 100, when the user moves to store an article (owned article) in a specific locker, there is no empty slot in the locker or even if there is an empty slot, for example, the size of the belongings owned by the user corresponds to the size of the item. In a situation where it cannot be stored in the empty slot because it is larger than the empty slot, it is possible to effectively solve the problem of having to find another locker again, and the problem of wasting a lot of time and stamina by finding the locker again in this way.

In addition, when the location of the matching locker is displayed as an icon on the map, the device 100 recognizes the icon of the matching locker that can be stored among the matching lockers (neighboring lockers) rather than the icon of the matching locker that cannot be stored. Alternatively, it may be displayed in an easily identifiable form. This device 100 is a practical storage box (that is, storage of items owned by the user is possible immediately) that the user can use at the present time among the storage boxes (neighboring storage boxes) located around the user. It can help the user to more intuitively and quickly recognize the information or location of the available matching locker). The present device 100 can help the user to find a storage box that can store his/her own goods more quickly (quickly) and accurately without hesitation.

As an example, FIG. 2 shows an example of a screen display in the case where item information is directly inputted through the user terminal 1 by typing. Referring to FIG. 2 , the control unit 130 shows, for example, item information input request information on the screen of the user terminal 1 so that the user can input item information about an item (owned item) that the user wants to keep. It can be displayed as shown in Fig. At this time, in the item information input request information, the type of item that the user wants to keep (eg, backpack, carrier, plastic bag, etc.) Information for receiving input and information for receiving an input of the number of owned articles may be included. Through the provision of the item information input request information by the controller 130 , the obtaining unit 110 may obtain information on at least one owned item that the user wants to keep.

As an example, the user responds to the item information input request information displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 2 , inputs item information about the owned item to be stored, for example, '15-inch backpack, 1 piece', and a search element In relation to information (especially, destination-related keyword information), suppose that the destination is entered as 'Seoul Forest Station', and then the [Nearby Search] item displayed on one area of the screen is selected. In this case, the selector 120 may first select a locker located within a preset distance from the location of 'Seoul Forest Station' among the plurality of lockers as the matching locker. Thereafter, the selector 120 may identify a matching storage box having an empty slot capable of storing 'one 15-inch backpack' among the selected matching storage boxes as the matching storage box.

The control unit 130 may display information about the storable matching locker on the screen of the user terminal 1 . This can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 3 .

3 is a diagram illustrating an example in which information about a storage-capable matching locker is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 as an example. Referring to FIG. 3 , when two storageable matching lockers are identified, for example, the controller 130 stores an icon display map in which icons corresponding to each of the two storageable matching lockers are displayed on the map. It can be provided (displayed) on the screen of the user terminal 1 as information about the possible matching locker.

For example, when a user selection is made for any one of the two storable matching lockers (for example, the first storable matching locker), the control unit 130 controls the first storable matching locker. As information, the location information, address information, [Reserve] item, and [View more] item of the first storable matching locker may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

Here, the location information of the first storable matching locker may be the same as, for example, 'Bundang Line Seoul Forest Station Exit 3', and the address information may be, for example, 'Seoul Forest Park SEOUL FOREST, Seongsu-dong 1-ga Seongdong-gu, Seoul'. Also, the [reservation] item may refer to an item for selecting (or requesting a reservation) whether to make a reservation for at least one slot included in the first storable matching locker box. For example, when a user input is made for the [Reservation] item, the reservation management unit 140 to be described later recognizes that a reservation request has been made for the first storable matching locker, and may perform a reservation procedure therefor. . On the other hand, the [View Details] item is an item that provides detailed information about the first storable matching locker. For example, when a user input for the [View Details] item is made, the controller 130 controls the first storable matching item. As detailed information about the locker, the screen may be controlled so that reservation status information and the like are displayed on the screen.

When a reservation request is made in relation to the first matching locker as one of the matching lockers among the matching lockers displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1, the reservation management unit 140 responds to the reservation request to the first matching locker. A request message for requesting input of reservation information related to may be provided on the screen of the user terminal 1 . Thereafter, the reservation management unit 140 may perform a reservation based on a user input for the request message.

Here, the reservation request may mean a signal for requesting a reservation for the first matching locker, in particular, a reservation for at least one slot among a plurality of slots in the first matching locker. As used herein, the term "slot" may mean a space or a compartment in which items in the locker are stored.

A description of the request message may be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 4 . 4 shows, for example, when a reservation request is made for the first matching locker (the locker located at the location of Seoul Forest Station Exit 3 on the Bundang Line), the reservation management unit 140 displays the screen of the user terminal 1 in response to the reservation request. It is a diagram showing an example of providing a request message to

Referring to FIG. 4 , the request message (ie, a request message for requesting input of reservation information related to the first matching locker) selects a seat of a desired slot to be reserved among a plurality of slots in the first matching locker. It may include first selection information and second selection information for selecting a reservation time (desired reservation time) for which a reservation is desired. That is, the first selection information may be referred to as seat selection information, and the second selection information may be referred to as a reservation time differently.

That is, the first selection information may be information requesting to input (select) information (desired slot information) regarding which slot among a plurality of slots in the first matching locker to be reserved. The second selection information is for how long (for how long) the slot to be reserved (desired slot) is reserved, or how long to keep the belongings in the slot to be reserved (storage period) It may be information requesting to input (select) information about (desired reservation time).

Here, the desired reservation time may be selected (set) in units of time, for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, or the like. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the unit of the desired reservation time may be variously set to seconds, minutes, hours, days, and the like.

Also, the request message may include third selection information for selecting an expected arrival time. The third selection information is a request to input (select) information on the arrival time (expected arrival time) of when to store the belongings in the slot to be reserved (the time to perform storage) or when to arrive at the first matching locker. may be information. The third selection information may be referred to as an expected (expected) arrival time or the like.

The reservation management unit 140 transmits a request message including a plurality of slot selection icons generated in consideration of attribute information (placement location and size of the slots) of a plurality of slots in the first matching locker to the screen of the user terminal 1 . can be displayed in That is, in displaying the request message on the screen, the reservation management unit 140 may display a request message including first selection information, second selection information, third selection information, and a plurality of slot selection icons.

Here, the attribute information of the plurality of slots may refer to information about the arrangement position (arrangement structure) and size of the slots as described above.

As shown in the left figure of FIG. 4 , the plurality of slot selection icons may mean icons included in the [Seat Selection] item. The plurality of slot selection icons may be expressed as a first type of slot selection icon and a second type of slot selection icon.

The first type of slot selection icon may mean shape information schematically indicating the shape of each of the plurality of slots in consideration of attribute information of the plurality of slots (the arrangement position and size of the slots). The second type of slot selection icon may mean identification information indicating unique identification information of each of the plurality of slots. Exemplarily, the plurality of slot selection icons are the first type of slot selection icons, and may be expressed as shape information of a square shape, such as a square or a rectangle, for example. Also, the plurality of slot selection icons are the second type of slot selection icons and may be expressed as identification information such as K 078, K 079, K 080, and the like.

Also, the reservation management unit 140 may activate a selection input function to enable the user to select a storable slot selection icon capable of storing goods among a plurality of slot selection icons as a desired slot.

At this time, the storable slot selection icon considers the usage status information (ie, attribute information of each slot and reservation status information of each slot) and product information (ie, the size of owned products) for a plurality of slots, It may be a slot selection icon corresponding to a slot in which it is determined that the storage of the owned article corresponding to the article information among the slots is possible.

That is, the reservation management unit 140 does not activate the input function to select all the slot selection icons of the slots that are empty because the item is not simply stored among the plurality of slot selection icons, but rather the empty slots among the plurality of slot selection icons, In particular, the selection input function may be activated only by slot selection icons of slots having a size capable of actually storing the belongings in consideration of the size of the belongings possessed by the user and the size of the slots. Accordingly, the user can more intuitively and easily identify which slot among the plurality of slots can actually store the belongings he owns.

On the other hand, the reservation management unit 140 in the case of the remaining slot selection icons except for the storage available slot selection icon among the plurality of slot selection icons (that is, the storage impossible slot selection icon determined to be impossible to store the belongings owned by the user), The selection input function may be deactivated so that the user cannot select the desired slot.

Referring to FIG. 4 , it is assumed that a first slot selection icon to a ninth slot selection icon exist as a plurality of slot selection icons, for example, a second type of slot selection icon. At this time, the first slot selection icon is K 078, the second slot selection icon is K 079, the third slot selection icon is K 080, the fourth slot selection icon is K 081, the fifth slot selection icon is K 082, the sixth slot It is assumed that the selection icon is K083, the seventh slot selection icon is K084, the eighth slot selection icon is K085, and the ninth slot selection icon is K086.

At this time, in the case of the 5th slot selection icon, the 6th slot selection icon, and the 9th slot selection icon, the reservation status for the slot is the first state (that is, if the item is already being stored by another user or the item is being stored, However, let's say that another user (other user) has made a reservation in advance (that is, pre-booked) that he will use the slot in hopes of keeping the item in the slot. In this case, the reservation management unit 140 may inactivate the selection input function so that the fifth slot selection icon, the sixth slot selection icon, and the ninth slot selection icon cannot be selected as desired slots. That is, the fifth slot selection icon, the sixth slot selection icon, and the ninth slot selection icon may be provided in a state in which a user cannot select a desired slot.

On the other hand, in the case of the first slot selection icon to the fourth slot selection icon, the 7th slot selection icon, and the 8th slot selection icon, the reservation status for the slot is the second state (ie, the item is not stored in the slot or the corresponding slot is not stored in the corresponding slot). Since the slot is not reserved in advance, it is assumed that the corresponding slot is empty).

In this case, the reservation management unit 140 selects, for example, all of the first slot selection icon, the fourth slot selection icon, the 7th slot selection icon, and the 8th slot selection icon, which are empty slots (empty slots) among the plurality of slot selection icons. Recognized as a storage available slot selection icon, a selection input function by the user may be activated to enable selection of a desired slot. However, in the present application, since the storable slot selection icon is preferably selected in consideration of usage status information and product information (size of owned product) for a plurality of slots, the first slot selection icon to the fourth slot selection icon, the 7th slot Rather than recognizing both the selection icon and the 8th slot selection icon as the storageable slot selection icon, only the slot selection icon corresponding to the slot that is judged to be able to store the belongings is recognized and selected as the storageable slot selection icon The input function can be activated.

Exemplarily, sizes of slots corresponding to the second slot selection icon and the third slot selection icon among the first to fourth slot selection icons, the seventh slot selection icon, and the eighth slot selection icons, which are empty slots Assume that n has a size (ie, a slot size larger than the size of the owned item) capable of accommodating the size of the belongings possessed by the actual user. In this case, the reservation management unit 140 may recognize only the second slot selection icon and the third slot selection icon as the storable slot selection icon to activate the selection input function.

For example, in FIG. 4 , there are two storable slot selection icons including the second slot selection icon and the third slot selection icon, and among them, the user wants to make a reservation for the second slot selection icon (K 079). is exemplified as

On the other hand, the size of the slots corresponding to the first slot selection icon, the fourth slot selection icon, the 7th slot selection icon, and the 8th slot selection icon is smaller than the size of the belongings owned by the actual user. Assume that it is judged that the storage of In this case, the reservation management unit 140 recognizes that the first slot selection icon, the fourth slot selection icon, the 7th slot selection icon, and the 8th slot selection icon are unstorable slot selection icons, even though they are empty, and selects them. You can disable the function.

That is, the reservation management unit 140 intuitively provides information on a slot that can be used by a real user (ie, a slot that can actually store the belongings) among a plurality of slots in the first matching locker to reserve the locker. In this case, it can maximize practicality and help you make a quicker and easier reservation of a slot that can store items you actually own.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , when the user inputs 'K 079' as the first selection information (seat selection information), the reservation management unit 140 allows the user to select one of the plurality of slots in the first matching locker. It can be recognized as a desire to reserve a slot having 'K 079' as identification information. In addition, when the user inputs '4' as the second selection information (reservation time information), the reservation management unit 140 may recognize that the user desires to use the slot corresponding to 'K 079' for 2 hours. there is. In addition, when the user inputs '14:30' as the third selection information (expected arrival time information), the reservation management unit 140 indicates that the user arrives at the first matching locker at 2:30 pm and displays 'K 079' It can be recognized that the corresponding slot will be used from about 2:30 pm.

The reservation manager 140 may make a reservation based on a user input to the request message. When the user input for the request message is made, the reservation management unit 140 provides reservation details information based on the user input as an example as shown in the right figure of FIG. 4 in one area of the screen of the user terminal 1 . can In this case, the reservation history information may include not only the first selection information to the third selection information input by the user, but also information on the expected usage amount (total expected amount) of the slot to be reserved based on the user input.

For example, the user may check reservation history information, and if it is determined that there is no abnormality, payment for the reservation may be performed. As the payment method, various payment methods such as card payment and account transfer may be applied.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a payment completion screen displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 by the reservation management unit 140 when payment is completed for any one slot as an example.

Referring to FIG. 5 , when a reservation is completed through payment completion for any one slot, a screen of payment-completed reservation details may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 . At this time, on the screen of the reservation details for which payment has been completed, phrase information such as 'payment has been completed', the above-described reservation history information, and [View usage status] items may be displayed. In this case, as an example, when a user input for the [Go to usage status] item is made, as an example, a screen similar to the example shown in FIG. 6 to be described later may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

In addition, when the reservation is completed for any one of the plurality of slots in the first matching locker, the reservation management unit 140 provides a reservation status notification message regarding the reserved slot on the screen of the user terminal 1 . can do. For example, it is assumed that the user has completed a reservation for a first slot among a plurality of slots in the first matching locker. In this case, the reservation management unit 140 may provide a reservation status notification message regarding the first slot on the screen of the user terminal 1 . Herein, the reservation status notification message may be referred to as a usage status notification message differently, and a description thereof may be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 6 .

6 is a view showing an example of a screen display of a reservation status notification message (usage status notification message) provided with respect to one slot (eg, the first slot) for which reservation has been completed. When the reservation for the first slot is completed, the reservation management unit 140 may display a reservation status notification message on the screen of the user terminal 1 as shown in FIG. 6 as an example.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the reservation status notification message may include at least one of remaining time information, reservation information, request information to select whether to extend or not, and information to request whether or not to perform collection of items stored in one slot.

For example, in response to a request message requesting input of reservation information related to the first matching locker provided on the screen of the user terminal 1 , the user selects desired slot information as the first selection information of the first matching locker. It is assumed that a slot is input, and a desired reservation time of 4 hours is input as the second selection information. Thereafter, based on the user input to the request message, the reservation management unit 140 may complete the reservation by performing a reservation for 4 hours for the first slot among the plurality of slots in the first matching locker.

Thereafter, the reservation management unit 140 may provide a reservation status notification message on the screen of the user terminal 1 as shown in FIG. 6 as an example with respect to the first slot for which reservation is completed.

The remaining time information in the reservation status notification message may mean information about the remaining time (remaining time) among 4 hours that is the reservation time (desired reservation time) of the first slot.

In addition, the reservation information in the reservation status notification message includes location information of the reserved locker (for example, exit 3 of Seoul Forest Station), reserved slot information (ie, locker K079), arrival time, reservation time, and collection time. Information may be included. Here, the arrival time means the expected time (expected arrival time) when the user arrives at the location of the locker in which the first slot is located. can do. For example, the arrival time of 14:30 means that the user arrives at the locker at about 2:30 pm and stores the belongings in the first slot from about 2:30 pm and expects to use the first slot. can mean Also, as described above, the reservation time may mean a desired reservation time. The collection time may refer to information on a time when the user needs to retrieve the belongings stored in the first slot from the first slot. For example, when the collection time is 18:30, it may mean that the user has to collect and take the belongings stored in the first slot by 6:30 pm at the latest.

In addition, the reservation information in the reservation status notification message may include information on request to select whether to perform the collection. Here, the request information for selecting whether to perform the collection is information for requesting to select whether or not to retrieve the belongings stored in the slot through reservation, and may refer to information requesting to select and input ON/OFF in relation to the collection, for example. there is. For example, when collection is turned on, it may mean that the user has recovered the belongings stored in the first slot. Conversely, if the collection is set to OFF, it may mean that the user has not yet recovered the belongings stored in the first slot, and thus is being stored in the first slot.

In addition, although not shown in the drawing, the reservation status notification message may include information on request for selection of whether to extend or not. The extension or not selection request information may refer to information for requesting to select and input whether to extend a desired reservation time. For example, the desired reservation time was 4 hours, and when 3 hours have elapsed (that is, when the remaining time is about 1 hour), the reservation management unit 140 provides a reservation status notification message to the user terminal 1 lets do it. In this case, in response to the provided reservation status notification message, it is assumed that information on '2 hours, extension desired' is input as request information for selecting whether to extend the reservation status notification message from the user. In this case, the reservation management unit 140 may correct (correct, update) the reservation time for the first slot to be a total of 6 hours by extending the reservation time for the first slot from 4 hours, which is the initial reservation time, to 2 hours.

In addition, the reservation status notification message may include lock release selection request information as shown in FIG. 6 . The unlock selection request information may be information for selecting whether to unlock or lock the first slot. For example, when the lock release is ON, the lock of the first slot may be released and the door of the first slot may be in an openable state. Conversely, when unlocking is OFF, the first slot may be locked and the door of the first slot may not be openable.

In general, in the case of a locker managed by a flow path, after storing an article in a slot in the locker and closing the door of the slot once locking is performed, there is a problem that the door of the once-locked slot cannot be opened again whenever necessary. . That is, let's say that the item is stored in the slot and locked once. At this time, if you want to store a specific item in the corresponding slot more or take out a specific item from among the items stored in the corresponding slot, it is necessary to reopen the locked slot. There is a problem (inconvenient) such as having to re-insert a fee or pay (pay) the usage fee for the slot again when opening the door of the slot and locking it again.

In contrast, the reservation management unit 140 sends a reservation status notification message regarding a reserved slot (eg, the first slot) to the user when the reservation for one of the reserved slots (eg, the first slot) is in a valid state. It can be provided on the screen of the terminal (1). In this case, the reservation management unit 140 may provide a reservation status notification message including lock release selection request information for selecting ON/OFF in relation to unlocking. Based on the user input for the unlock selection request information, the reservation management unit 140 may perform ON/OFF control of unlocking for any one reserved slot.

That is, the device 100 may control ON/OFF setting of unlocking for a reserved slot based on a user input for unlocking selection request information. This device 100, based on the user input for the unlock selection request information, only when the reservation for the first slot is valid, the corresponding slot reserved by the user himself (that is, the user is storing the belongings) first slot) can be opened and closed whenever necessary. That is, based on the user input for the unlock selection request information, the device 100 allows the user to select the first slot whenever necessary during the reservation time (for example, 4 hours) of the first slot without restrictions on the number of times or addition of the amount. It can be provided so that the door can be opened and closed freely. This device 100 has a problem with the conventional storage box managed by the euro (that is, when you open the door of the once locked slot and want to lock it again, you have to put in the fee again or pay the usage fee for the slot again. problems) can be solved.

7 shows an example in which information (information on the use record) regarding the history of the user using the locker is recorded as a history and displayed on the screen.

Referring to FIG. 7 , the controller 130 may store, for example, information on a locker reserved or used by the user as history information in a history storage unit (not shown) included in the device 100 . Thereafter, for example, when a request signal for providing history information is received from the user, the control unit 130 stores a plurality of history information (use record information) stored in the history storage unit (not shown) in response to the received history information provision request signal. As shown in FIG. 7 , it can be displayed on the screen as a history. On the history screen, history information about a locker that the user has used in the past or is currently being used may be displayed.

The history information about the locker may include, but is not limited to, location information of the locker, slot information used, and date information using the locker.

On the other hand, the route guidance providing unit 150 is selected by the selector 120 and displayed on the screen for the first matching article locker with respect to the first matching article locker (this will be referred to as the destination locker in the description to be described later). When a route request is made to request a route from It can be provided to the user terminal 1 by displaying it.

In this case, the first matching article locker may mean a storable matching article locker, or may be a storage non-storable matching article locker. In the present application, it may be more preferable that the first matching locker in which the route request is made is a storage-capable matching locker.

In addition, when a request signal (internal route guidance request signal) for requesting internal route guidance for an internal movement section included in the generated route is received, the route guidance providing unit 150 generates an internal route generated corresponding to the internal movement section It is possible to generate a route guidance route and provide internal route guidance information for guiding a user's movement on the generated internal route guidance route based on Augmented Reality (AR).

The lockers considered herein may be provided in various places, such as on the ground, in a department store, or in a subway station. Accordingly, the device 100 selects any one matching storage box (that is, in the hope that the user wants to store the belongings of the matching storage box from the location where the user is currently located (the current location) through the route guidance providing unit 150 ). , in guiding the moving route to the first matching locker) (or the matching locker for which reservation is completed), it may be provided so that more effective route guidance (route guidance) can be made.

In the description to be described later, the first matching article locker that can be said to be the target of the arrival point in the route information provided by the route guidance providing unit 150 (that is, the first matching article locker that is the target of the route request) is The destination (or destination locker) may be referred to differently. A more detailed description of the road guide providing unit 150 is as follows.

In general, a navigation device, which is one of the conventional route guidance technologies, is mainly focused on a vehicle and only supports route guidance for a route that the vehicle can move (that is, a road on the ground, etc.), and has a rather large complex And for internal spaces such as the inside of a crowded subway station or the interior (inside) of a large building, there is no support for directions to the internal space due to the absence of relevant data.

As such, most of the conventional route guidance technologies have difficulty in providing accurate route guidance to the internal space, so the user can exemplarily use a walk to go through the aforementioned internal space (especially, the internal space on the first road) to the destination ( When moving to the destination locker), the user may get lost or get lost while moving in the corresponding internal space, which causes a delay in the travel time to the destination.

For example, in general, signs (signs guiding the movement direction or exit of subway stations, etc.) existing inside subway stations, etc. are simple and ambiguous, such as internal trains, external trains, direction a, line b, etc. Therefore, the user is connected to a crowded transfer station (eg, Express Bus Terminal Station, Samseong Station, Jamsil Station, etc.) where a plurality of subway lines intersect, a large building (department store, mart, etc.), an underground shopping mall, a bus terminal, many entrances, etc. There is a limit to accurately moving to a desired destination only by relying on road guide signs in conventional subway stations in the underground/ground interior space composed of floors.

That is, there is a difficulty in smoothly and accurately guiding the user to the desired destination with respect to the internal space only by using the conventional route guidance technology or signs, so that the direction the user wants to go in the subway station is different. It could happen that you go down to the platform in the opposite direction, or you get lost because you can't find an exit.

In addition, when a conventional portal site (eg, Naver, Google, etc.) provides route guidance information based on a car or provides route guidance information based on walking, when a departure point and a destination are input from the user, the departure point It provides information on the route from to the destination, the distance to the route, and the required time (estimated time) required to travel the route by car or on foot.

However, as mentioned above, the conventional route guidance technology only provides a route to a destination based on a two-dimensional map only for a route that a vehicle can move (ie, a road on the ground, etc.) There is a difficulty in guiding (guides) so that the user can move accurately without wandering through the interior space of a complex subway station or through the interior (inside) of a large building.

In addition, since the conventional route guidance technology does not clearly distinguish and display the movement route of each floor for the internal space in which a plurality of floors exist, for example, a user may select a locker located on a specific floor in the corresponding internal space. It is difficult to find exactly where you want to go.

Accordingly, the device 100, through the route guidance providing unit 150, with respect to an internal space such as a complex and congested subway station having a rather large scale or the interior (inside) of a large building, the user can use the corresponding internal space Augmented Reality (AR)-based navigation technology can be provided that can support smoother and more accurate movement without hesitation when moving to the destination (destination locker).

That is, the device 100 is a complex and congested subway station with a rather large scale when the user moves to the destination (destination locker) through the road guide providing unit 150 or the interior (inside) of a large building. Augmented reality that supports the user's movement (guide, guide, guide) so that the user can accurately move to the destination (or to the exit towards the destination) without getting lost in the interior space, even when passing through an internal space such as (Augmented Reality)-based navigation technology may be provided.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the road guidance providing unit 150 may include a first path generating unit 11 , a second path generating unit 12 , and a guide control unit 13 .

The first route generator 11 may generate a route from the origin to the destination based on information about the origin and destination (ie, origin information and destination information) received from the user. In this case, the first route generator 11 may receive information about the departure point and the destination from the user through the user terminal 1 carried by the user.

Here, the departure point information is, for example, information about the user's current location, and may mean, for example, the user's location information (ie, the user's current GPS location information) obtained through a GPS sensor. In addition, the destination information is information of the locker that is the target of the destination of the route request, and may mean information of the first matching locker selected by the user by requesting the route from among the matching lockers displayed on the screen. In the present application, destination information is information of the first matching locker, and may be expressed differently as information of the destination locker. That is, in the present application, the first matching locker to which the route request is made may be referred to as a destination locker, a destination, and the like.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a path generated by the first path generator 11 will be referred to as a reference path.

The first route generator 11 may receive departure point information and destination information from the user through the user terminal 1, and based on this, the destination information from a location corresponding to the departure point information (ie, the current location of the user) A route (reference route) to a corresponding location (ie, the location of the destination locker) may be created.

At this time, there may be a plurality of routes from the location of the departure point information to the location of the destination information, and the first route generator 11 is a route (particularly, walking time) that minimizes the travel time (particularly, the walking time) among the plurality of routes ( That is, a minimum time path, a shortest path) can be generated. As an example, the first route generator 11 may generate a route that minimizes walking time as a route from the location of the departure point information to the location of the destination information.

The route generated by the first route generator 11 may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 in association with a map for example.

The second route generator 12 is configured to, when a request signal for requesting an internal route guidance for an internal movement section included in the route (reference route) generated by the first route generator 11 is received, a request signal In response, an internal navigation route corresponding to the internal movement section may be generated.

That is, at least a part of the internal movement section may or may not be included in the route (reference route) generated by the first route generator 11 .

At this time, the second route generator 12 includes an internal movement section in the route (reference route) generated by the first route generator 11 , and requests route guidance for this inner movement section (that is, When a request signal for requesting internal navigation) is received from the user (or user terminal), an internal navigation route corresponding to the internal movement section may be generated in response to the received request signal.

Here, the internal movement section may mean a section corresponding to the internal space of a structure provided in the basement and/or the ground. In this case, the internal space of a structure provided underground and/or above the ground may mean an internal space (internal space) corresponding to a subway station, an underpass, an underground shopping mall, a building, or the like. In addition, the building may mean, for example, a department store, a hospital, a mart, a shopping mall, a bus terminal, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The internal movement section considered herein may mean a section corresponding to a subway station (subway station), which is a structure preferably provided underground.

The second path generating unit 12 generates an internal route guidance path in consideration of the structure (internal structure) of the internal space for each floor of the structure provided in the basement and/or the ground and the convenience facilities existing in the internal space of the structure. can create Accordingly, the second path generating unit 12 may generate a path (internally cut path) so that the division of the movement path is clearly divided for each floor of the internal space.

Here, convenience facilities existing in the interior space include, for example, toilets, escalators, elevators (elevators) in subway stations, beverage vending machines, convenience stores, lockers, situation rooms, transportation card charging stations, shops (restaurants, clothing stores, etc.) It may be included, but is not limited thereto, and various convenience facilities in the subway station may be applied.

In this way, the second route generator 12 considers the internal structure of each floor of the structure or the location of convenience facilities in the internal movement section so that the user can more easily move to the destination (destination locker) within the internal movement section. , it is possible to create an internal navigation route for guiding a movement route to a destination.

When a request signal for requesting internal navigation for an internal movement section is received, the second route generator 12 may generate an internal navigation route in response to the received request signal. At this time, when the internal road-related image related to the internal road belonging to the internal movement section is acquired from the user terminal 1, the second route generating unit 12 uses the acquired internal road-related image as a request signal for requesting internal route guidance. and may generate an internal navigation route in response to the recognized request signal.

8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image related to an inner road obtained from the user terminal 1 in the locker guide apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 8 , it is assumed that the user obtains the image shown in FIG. 8 as an image related to a road guide sign existing in a specific subway station through the user terminal 1 .

At this time, the second path generating unit 12 determines whether the image acquired through the user terminal 1 is an image captured for an internal movement section within the path (reference path) generated by the first path generating unit 11 . can do. That is, the second path generating unit 12 uses the image obtained through the user terminal 1 to capture an image (ie, internal movement) obtained by photographing any one of the inner roads belonging to the inner movement section within the reference route. It is possible to determine whether it is an image taken of an internal road belonging to the section).

As a result of the determination, when the image obtained through the user terminal 1 is an image obtained by photographing an inner road belonging to the inner movement section, the second route generator 12 generates the image obtained from the user terminal 1 as described above. It may be identified as an image related to an internal road related to an internal road belonging to an internal movement section within the reference route.

Here, in order to identify whether the image obtained from the user terminal 1 in the second route generating unit 12 is an image related to an internal road, for example, the road guide providing unit 150 includes a structure ( It may include a database unit (not shown) that pre-stores a plurality of images of the internal space of all structures (that is, an image obtained by photographing an internal road belonging to the corresponding internal space).

In the database unit (not shown), each of these plurality of images is linked together with location information when the image is taken (that is, location information of the user terminal when the image is taken) and direction information when the image is taken. can be saved. Here, the direction information may mean azimuth information. In addition, the location information may include GPS information, altitude information, and the like.

The second path generating unit 12 compares (matching) the image obtained from the user terminal 1 with a plurality of images pre-stored in the database unit (not shown), so that the image obtained from the user terminal 1 is It may be identified whether the image is related to the internal road related to the internal road belonging to the internal movement section within the reference route.

Thereafter, when it is identified that the image obtained from the user terminal 1 is an internal road-related image, the second route generating unit 12 recognizes the identified internal road-related image as a request signal, and an interior corresponding to the internal movement section You can create a navigation route.

Illustratively, when the user inputs information about a departure point and a destination through the user terminal 1 in order to receive a route guidance from the departure point to the destination, the first route generating unit 11 may generate a route ( reference path) can be created. In this case, information about the path (reference path) generated by the first path generating unit 11 may be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 , for example.

Thereafter, the user may move to a destination (destination locker) based on (with reference to) the route (reference route) generated through the first route generator 11 . At this time, as an internal movement section within the route (reference route), a rather complex and congested subway station (hereinafter referred to as the target subway station) is included, for example, with multiple entrances, department stores, and bus terminals connected and made up of several floors. let's say there is That is, it is assumed that the user must pass through such a target subway station when moving to a destination.

At this time, if the space corresponding to the target subway station is wide, and as mentioned above, a number of entrances, department stores, bus terminals, etc. are connected and consist of multiple floors, the user sees only the road guide sign as shown in FIG. 8 as an example You may get lost or get lost while traveling to your destination.

In this case, when the user moves to the destination based on (refer to) the route (reference route) generated through the first route generator 11, the user receives internal route guidance for the internal movement section of the reference route. If you want to receive it, for example, when you enter the corresponding internal movement section for which you want to receive internal road guidance or are located in the corresponding internal movement section, an image about the road guide sign belonging to the corresponding internal movement section (for example, in FIG. 8 An image as shown) may be photographed using the user terminal 1 .

The second path generating unit 12 compares (matching) the images acquired through the user terminal 1 and images previously stored in the database unit (not shown), so that the acquired image is internally related to the corresponding internal movement section. When it is identified as a road-related image, it may be recognized as a request signal for requesting an internal route guidance for an internal movement section.

When a request signal is received (that is, when an image related to an internal road is obtained from the user terminal), the second route generator 12 generates an internal route guidance route corresponding to the internal movement section in response to the request signal, The generated internal navigation route may be provided to be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 as an example.

When the internal road-related image is obtained, the second route generating unit 12 calculates a path from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the nearest exit from the destination among exits belonging to the internal movement section. Can be created as an internal navigation route.

When the location of the destination input from the user is the location of a building existing on the ground, the second route generator 12 is the closest from the location of the destination among the exits (ie, exits within the subway station) belonging to the internal movement section. A route to the location of the located exit may be generated as an internal navigation route, but is not limited thereto.

As another example, when the location of the destination input from the user is the location of a building existing on the ground, the second route generator 12 is a destination among a plurality of ticket gates belonging to an internal movement section (ie, an internal space within a subway station). A route from the location of the wicket to the location of the nearest ticket gate can be created as an internal navigation route.

Illustratively, when the location of the destination corresponds to a ground building existing on the ground, the second route generating unit 12 may determine the location of the destination among the exits belonging to the inner movement section from the location corresponding to the image related to the inner road. A route from the to the location of the nearest exit may be generated as an internal navigation route. Here, the location corresponding to the internal road-related image is the location of the user terminal 1 that has acquired the internal road-related image, which may mean the current location of the user who has captured/obtained the internal road-related image.

On the other hand, the location of the destination corresponds to, for example, an underground building that is any one of a plurality of buildings belonging to the internal movement section (in other words, any one of a plurality of shopping malls belonging to the underground shopping mall that is an internal movement section) In the case of a location, the second route generating unit 12 calculates a route from a location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the destination within the internal movement section (that is, a location corresponding to any one underground building in the internal movement section) Can be created as an internal navigation route.

In this case, there may be a plurality of routes from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the destination information, and the second route generator 12 has the minimum travel time (particularly, walking time) among the plurality of routes. A path (ie, a minimum time path, a shortest path) may be generated as an internal navigation path. That is, the second route generator 12 is a route from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image acquired from the user terminal 1 to the location of the destination information (that is, the location of the destination locker), and the walking time is The minimum route can be generated as an internal navigation route.

The guidance control unit 13 generates internal guidance information for guiding the movement of the user on the internal guidance route based on the internal guidance route generated by the second route generator 12, and a user possessed by the user. It can be provided to the terminal 1 .

In this case, the guidance control unit 13 may provide the internal route guidance information to the user terminal 1 in consideration of the user's location information (user location information). In addition, the internal guidance information may include information on the internal guidance path generated by the second route generator 12 and movement guidance information in consideration of the user's location information that is changed according to the movement of the user.

Here, the user's location information is location information acquired through the location acquisition sensor included in the user terminal 1, and may be, for example, GPS information, but is not limited thereto. As another example, the user's location information can be obtained through a single image (photo) even in the basement or indoors where GPS does not pass, for example, by using a visual localization technology.

The guidance control unit 13 may provide internal road guidance information based on augmented reality for an internal road belonging to an internal movement section. That is, the guidance control unit 13 may provide the internal road guidance information based on augmented reality.

The guidance control unit 13 generates the internal route guidance information for the internal movement section as at least one information type of screen display information (a straight arrow display, a U-turn display, a remaining distance display, etc., display content), sound information, and vibration information. Thus, it can be provided to the user terminal 1 .

For example, when a plurality of direction indication information is included in the internal road-related image obtained from the user terminal 1, the guidance control unit 13 may include, among the plurality of direction indication information, corresponding direction indication information corresponding to the internal road guidance path. The screen display information provided to the user terminal 1 may be controlled so that the icon of is displayed in a form that is easier to recognize or identify than the icon of the non-responsive direction indication information that does not correspond to the internal navigation route.

In this case, displaying the icon in a form that is easy to recognize or identify means to display at least one of a visually emphasized form, an expanded form, a form accompanying an auditory effect, and a dynamic animation form, as described above. can do. This can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 9 .

9 is a view showing an example of a screen display of the user terminal 1 controlled by the locker guide device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to Figure 9, for example, the user is located in the subway station corresponding to 'Yeoksam Station', and wants to store the belongings in the locker located near Konkuk University Station. Let's say you want to make a slot reservation and then use the subway to go to 'Kon University Station' and move to the locker (destination locker) where you have reserved the slot.

At this time, the user uses the user terminal 1 in 'Yeoksam Station' to receive a request for guidance on the internal route from 'Yeoksam Station' to 'Konik University Station'. can be photographed. In this case, the second route generator 12 may generate an internal route guidance route indicating the route (path) from the user's current location to the Konkuk University Station.

On the other hand, it is assumed that the first direction indication information for guiding the 'Gyodae/sadang direction' and the second direction indication information for guiding the 'Seolleung/Jamsil direction' are included as a plurality of direction indication information in the obtained internal road-related image.

At this time, since the destination the user wants to go to is 'Konneung University Station', the user needs to move in the 'Seolleung/Jamsil direction' according to the second direction indication information among a plurality of direction indication information included in the obtained internal road-related image. there is

The guidance control unit 13 is configured to generate second direction indication information from among a plurality of direction indication information included in the internal road related image based on the internal road guidance route generated by the second route generating unit 12 as the internal road guidance path. On the other hand, the first direction indication information among the plurality of direction indication information may be recognized as non-corresponding direction indication information that does not correspond to the internal navigation route.

Accordingly, the corresponding direction indication information may refer to information (direction indication information) indicating a direction that coincides with a direction to which the user should go among a plurality of direction indication information (information indicating a plurality of directions).

In this way, after recognizing the second direction indication information among the plurality of direction indication information as the corresponding direction indication information, the guide control unit 13 shows the internal way guide information generated based on the inner way guide route as screen display information as an example. As shown in (b) of 9, it can be provided on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

That is, as shown in part A in FIG. 9B , the guide control unit 13 makes it easier to recognize or identify the icon of the corresponding direction indication information among the plurality of direction indication information than the icon of the non-corresponding direction indication information. Screen display information may be provided to be displayed in the form.

In addition to the control of the screen display information for the corresponding direction indication information, the guidance control unit 13 may include, for example, movement guidance information (a user changing according to the movement of the user) among the internal road guidance information displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 . As shown in part B in FIG. 9 (b) as the movement guide information considering the location information of It is possible to control the screen display information so that a phrase such as is displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

In this way, when the route guidance providing unit 150 provides the internal route guidance information for the internal movement section based on augmented reality, a direction indication that matches the direction the user wants to go among a plurality of direction indication information included in the road guide sign The screen of the user terminal 1 may be controlled so that the information is displayed in a form that is easy to recognize or identify compared to the non-corresponding direction indication information. The route guidance providing unit 150 provides the user to more intuitively recognize the direction he or she should go based on the information displayed on the screen, and through this, the user can move quickly without getting lost in moving to the destination You can guide (guide, provide) the way to do so.

In addition, the guidance control unit 13 considers real-time user location information obtained from a location acquisition sensor (eg, a GPS sensor, etc.) in the user terminal 1, and the remaining distance to the direction change point where the user needs to change the moving direction. In response, the content of the screen display information, the content of the sound information, and the vibration type of the vibration information may be changed.

At this time, the guidance control unit 13 provides sound information through the wearable sound input/output unit worn by the user or the speaker unit of the user terminal 1 in the case of sound information, and in the case of vibration information, the wearable vibration output unit or user terminal 1 worn by the user ) can be provided through

For example, the guide controller 13 may generate and provide sound information so that the user can recognize the internal way guide information as sound (so that the inner way guide information can be provided as a sound output). In addition, the guidance controller 13 may generate and provide the vibration information so that the user can recognize the internal road guidance information as vibration (so that the internal road guidance information can be provided as vibration output).

In this case, the sound information generated by the guide controller 13 may be provided through a wearable sound input/output unit (not shown) worn by the user or a speaker unit of the user terminal 1 . In addition, the vibration information generated by the guide controller 13 may be provided through a wearable vibration output unit (not shown) worn by the user or a vibration unit provided in the user terminal 1 . In other words, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable sound input/output unit or the speaker unit of the user terminal 1 so that the generated sound information can be provided to the user. Also, the guide controller 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit or the vibration unit of the user terminal 1 so that the generated vibration information may be provided to the user.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when the device 100 includes a sound input/output unit and a vibration output unit by itself, the generated sound information is provided through the device 100's own sound input/output unit, and the generated Vibration information may be provided through a self-vibration output unit of the apparatus 100 .

The device 100 may be connected to the user terminal 1 as well as a wearable sound input/output unit and a wearable vibration output unit through a network. In this case, the network connected between the two units (ie, the wearable sound input/output unit and the wearable vibration output unit) and the present device 100 may be, for example, a wireless communication network, but is not limited thereto.

The wearable sound input/output unit may be, for example, a headset, earphones, etc. that can be worn on the user's head and neck, and can input/output voice. For example, when the wearable sound input/output unit is worn on the neck, it may be expressed differently as a necklace-type headset. For example, the wearable sound input/output unit may be expressed differently as a headphone device or the like.

For example, if the user is blind with visual information blocked, the wearable sound input/output unit is preferably a bone conduction headset or earphone worn around the user's ear so that sound information obtainable through the ear is not blocked more than a predetermined amount can do.

The wearable sound input/output unit may receive, for example, voice information spoken by the user (eg, utterance voice information regarding departure point information and destination information), and may provide it to the route guidance providing unit 150 . The first route generating unit 11 of the route guidance providing unit 150 recognizes the departure point information and the destination information based on the voice analysis of the voice information provided from the wearable sound input/output unit, and based on the recognized information, the route ( reference path) can be created. Also, the wearable sound input/output unit may output (express) sound information generated by the guide control unit 13 .

The guidance control unit 13 generates vibration of the vibration information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point to which the user needs to change the moving direction, based on the user's real-time location information and the internal road guidance information (particularly, the internal road guidance route). You can change the type or content of sound information. In this case, the vibration type may include at least one of a vibration intensity and a vibration pattern.

The guide control unit 13 may generate vibration information by varying the intensity of vibration according to a movement direction, such as forward movement, backward movement, left movement, or right movement, or by changing a vibration pattern. As another example, the guide control unit 13 may generate vibration information so that the vibration intensity or the vibration pattern is different according to the movement direction, such as moving in the 1 o'clock direction, moving in the 2 o'clock direction, or moving in the 3 o'clock direction.

Illustratively, when the internal navigation information (in particular, the internal navigation route) follows a path turning right after going straight 300 m from the current user location information, the guidance control unit 13 transmits sound information 'must go straight 300 m' to the wearable It may be provided to a sound input/output unit (or a speaker unit), through which the wearable sound input/output unit may output sound information. At this time, the guide control unit 13 changes the content of the sound information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point (the point where the user has to turn right) to change the movement, and provides the changed sound information to the wearable sound input/output unit. there is.

That is, as the user moves based on the sound information 'You must go straight 300m', the remaining distance to the turning point may gradually decrease. In this case, the guide control unit 13 may control the sound information to be changed for each preset distance in response to the remaining distance (in consideration of the remaining distance). For example, the guide control unit 13 may generate sound information so that the sound information is changed every 10 m from the time when the remaining distance is less than or equal to 100 m, and provide it to the wearable sound input/output unit.

Specifically, the guidance control unit 13 transmits sound information so that the sound information 'You must turn right after going straight 100m' is provided to the user through the wearable sound input/output unit when the remaining distance to the direction change point is less than 100m. can be changed Similarly, the guidance control unit 13 changes the sound information to provide the sound information 'You must go straight after 90 m and turn right' at the time remaining below 90 m, and the sound 'You must go straight after 80 m and turn right' at the time remaining below 80 m. It is possible to change the sound information so that the information is provided. For example, when the remaining distance is less than 10 m, the guide controller 13 may generate sound information so that the sound information is changed and provided for every 1 m distance.

As another example, when the internal guidance information (particularly, the internal guidance route) follows a path turning right after going straight 300 m from the current user location information, the guidance controller 13 controls the weakest first vibration intensity among the ten vibration intensities. It is possible to generate vibration information having Through this, the wearable vibration output unit may express the vibration information provided from the guide control unit 13 and provide it to the user.

At this time, the guidance control unit 13 changes the vibration type of the vibration information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point (the point where the user needs to turn right) to change the movement, and provides the changed vibration information to the wearable vibration output unit. can That is, as the user moves based on the vibration information of the first vibration intensity, the remaining distance to the direction change point may gradually decrease. In this case, the guide control unit 13 may control the vibration type of the vibration information to be changed for each preset distance corresponding to the remaining distance (in consideration of the remaining distance).

For example, the guide control unit 13 may change the vibration information in a direction in which the vibration intensity is gradually increased at intervals of 10 m from a time when the remaining distance is less than or equal to 100 m, and may provide the changed vibration information to the wearable vibration output unit.

That is, the guide control unit 13 generates vibration information of the first vibration intensity when the remaining distance to the direction change point is less than 100 m and provides it to the wearable vibration output unit, and when the remaining distance to the direction change point is less than or equal to 90 m, the first vibration intensity by changing to the second vibration intensity, vibration information having the second vibration intensity may be provided to the wearable vibration output unit. In addition, the guide control unit 13 changes the vibration intensity from the second vibration intensity to the third vibration intensity at a time point remaining below 80 m, and generates vibration information having the changed third vibration intensity to the user through the wearable vibration output unit. can provide

Also, the guidance control unit 13 may change the vibration pattern as a vibration type of vibration information in response to the residual distance to the direction change point (taking the residual distance into consideration). For example, the guide control unit 13 may change the vibration pattern every 1 m from the point in time when the remaining distance remains 10 m or less.

Specifically, when the remaining distance remains 10 m or less, the guide control unit 13 generates vibration information in a pattern (vibration pattern) in which the vibration of the first vibration intensity vibrates once every 2 seconds to provide the wearable vibration output unit. can In addition, when the remaining distance is less than 9 m, the guidance control unit 13 generates vibration information in a pattern (vibration pattern) in which the vibration of the second vibration intensity vibrates once per second and provides it to the wearable vibration output unit. there is. In addition, when the remaining distance remains less than or equal to 1 m, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit by generating vibration information in a pattern in which the vibration having the tenth vibration intensity vibrates 5 times per second.

As such, the guidance control unit 13 may change the vibration type of vibration information or the content of sound information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point (taking the remaining distance into account), and through this, the changed information (ie, vibration type) This changed vibration information and sound information in which the sound content is changed) may be provided.

In addition, when it is determined that the user deviated from the route corresponding to the internal route guidance information (that is, the internal route guidance route) based on the internal route guidance information (particularly, the internal route guidance route), the guidance controller 13 responds accordingly to change the vibration type of the vibration information or the content of the sound information.

For example, the guidance control unit 13 may generate sound information 'you must turn right after going straight for 100m' based on the internal route guidance path and provide it to the wearable sound input/output unit. At this time, if it is determined that the user deviated from the displayed route, the guidance control unit 13 'deviates from the route' or 'deviates from the route. You can change it to the sound information of 'Please U-turn and go back', and provide sound information of the changed content.

As another example, when it is determined that the user deviated from the internal navigation path, the guidance controller 13 converts the current vibration information (eg, vibration information having the first vibration intensity) to the vibration information having the tenth vibration intensity. , and the changed vibration information may be provided to the wearable vibration output unit. Alternatively, when it is determined that the user deviated from the internal navigation path, the guidance control unit 13 transmits vibration information having a vibration pattern that vibrates once at a first vibration intensity per second at a tenth vibration intensity 5 times per second It is possible to change to vibration information having a vibration pattern that vibrates, and provide the changed vibration information.

The wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in a wearable form on a part of the user's body. For example, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in a wearable form (eg, a bracelet, etc.) on a user's wrist. One or a plurality of wearable vibration output units may be disposed on a part of the user's body.

A plurality of wearable vibration output units may be disposed at different positions with respect to the user. For example, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed on both wrists of the user. That is, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed at different positions on each wrist of the user, and in this case, two wearable vibration output units may be disposed as a plurality.

In addition, the wearable vibration output unit may include a vibration generating unit that generates vibration, and at least one vibration generating unit may be disposed (provided).

In addition, as another example, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in the form of a headband that can be worn on the user's head. In this case, in the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband, a plurality of vibration generating units may be disposed at different positions along the circumference inside the headband.

In addition, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in the form of a belt that can be worn on the user's waist. In this case, in the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a belt, a plurality of vibration generating units may be disposed at different positions along the circumference of the belt.

The guidance control unit 13 is configured to determine the position (placement position) of each of a plurality of wearable vibration output units arranged at different positions with respect to the user and the movement direction of the user based on the internal guidance information (particularly, the internal guidance route). Vibration types of the plurality of wearable vibration output units may be controlled (individually controlled, individually differently controlled) in consideration of the relationship between .

For example, with respect to the plurality of wearable vibration output units disposed on both wrists of the user, the wearable vibration output unit disposed on the left wrist is a first wearable vibration output unit, and the wearable vibration output unit disposed on the right wrist is a second wearable Let's call it a vibration output unit. At this time, the guide control unit 13 determines the position of each of the plurality of wearable vibration output units (that is, considering that the first wearable vibration output unit is located on the left wrist and the second wearable vibration output unit is located on the right wrist) and the user's In consideration of the relationship with the moving direction, the vibration type of the plurality of wearable vibration output units based on the internal navigation path may be controlled.

Specifically, when the user has to turn left according to the internal road guidance path while the user is moving straight, the guidance control unit 13 vibrates through the first wearable vibration output unit disposed on the user's left (left) wrist Vibration information may be provided to the first wearable vibration output unit so that the information is displayed (in other words, vibration is generated). As such, the guide control unit 13 may control the first wearable vibration output unit in consideration of the user's movement direction (left rotation), and through this, may provide the user with vibration indicating that the user should move to the left ( can inform).

As another example, when the user has to turn right according to the internal road guidance path while the user is moving straight, the guidance control unit 13 vibrates through the second wearable vibration output unit disposed on the user's right (right) wrist Vibration information may be provided to the second wearable vibration output unit so that the information is displayed (in other words, vibration is generated). As such, the guide control unit 13 may control the second wearable vibration output unit in consideration of the user's moving direction (right turn), and through this, may provide the user with a vibration indicating that the user should move to the right ( can inform).

In addition, the following description will be made on the assumption that the wearable vibration output unit is a wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband.

In the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband, a plurality of vibration generating units may be disposed along the circumference inside the headband. For example, the plurality of vibration generating units may include four vibration generating units. In this case, the first vibration generating unit is disposed at a position corresponding to the center of the user's forehead (front head) among the inner circumferences of the headband, and the second vibration generating unit is disposed at a position corresponding to the user's right head, and the third The vibration generating unit may be disposed at a position corresponding to the back of the head (rear head) of the user, and the fourth vibration generating unit may be disposed at a position corresponding to the user's left head.

At this time, when the user has to turn right according to the movement route information in a state in which the user is moving straight, the guide control unit 13 controls the head so that the vibration information is provided through the first vibration generating unit while guiding the user to move straight. It is possible to control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a band. The guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband so that vibration information is provided through the second vibration generating unit when the user needs to turn right.

In addition, when the user needs to turn left, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband to provide vibration information through the fourth vibration generating unit. Also, when the user needs to make a U-turn, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband to provide vibration information through the third vibration generating unit.

In this way, the guide control unit 13 relates to the position of each of the plurality of wearable vibration output units (placement position with respect to the user) (or the position of each of the plurality of vibration generating units included in the wearable vibration output unit) and the movement direction of the user. Considering that, it is possible to control the vibration type of the wearable vibration output unit.

The guide control unit 13 provides movement guide information generated based on the route guide information (in particular, the displayed route) as vibration through a wearable vibration output unit worn on the user's wrist as an example (that is, the vibration intensity or vibration pattern) It may be provided as different vibration information) or, for example, may be provided by voice (ie, as voice guidance) through a wearable sound input/output unit worn on the user's head.

The route guidance providing unit 150 provides internal route guidance information as voice information through the wearable sound input/output unit as well as vibration information through the wearable vibration output unit, so that not only general users (pedestrians) but also visual impairments, etc. It is possible to provide safer and more accurate movement guidance (guide) for the internal route guidance route even for the visually impaired, and it is possible to maximize the user's convenience and activity.

In addition, the route guidance providing unit 150 provides movement guide information as voice information and vibration information, so that when the user cannot continuously check the screen of the user terminal 1 on which the internal route guidance information is displayed while walking, (For example, when a visually impaired person walks, or when a general user walks with both hands full, etc.), it is possible to provide more accurate route guidance or movement guidance (guide).

10 is a view showing an example of the case in which the inside guide information is provided in the form of screen display information based on augmented reality in the locker guide device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 10 , the guidance control unit 13 may provide internal road guidance information as screen display information on the screen of the user terminal 1 as shown in FIG. 10 . In this case, the screen display information may include, for example, an arrow display related to going straight, a right turn, a left turn, and a U-turn, and a residual distance display related to the remaining distance, but is not limited thereto.

The route guidance providing unit 150 may perform a route guidance to a destination (destination storage locker) based on augmented reality (AR) and guidance of a moving route. The device 100 including the route guidance providing unit 150 may be expressed differently as an AR subway direction notification device capable of providing a service, such as an AR-based road guidance device, an AR navigation system, an AR-based route guidance device, and the like.

The route guidance provider 150 provides AR-based internal route guidance information, so that users (eg, foreigners, tourists, subway users, etc.), it is possible to provide (support) so that the user can more easily move the internal movement section.

The route information providing unit 150 is illustratively for users who use the subway for the first time for reasons of tourism or movement, users who suffer from inconvenience in using the subway due to unfriendly explanations (ie, road guide signs in conventional subway stations, etc.) It can be provided so that you can move more quickly and accurately without getting lost even on the first road.

11 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example of an AR-based wayfinding function provided through the way guide providing unit 150 of the locker guide device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 11 , as an example, the user is currently located in the internal space of a specific station, and from the position in the internal space (ie, the internal space corresponding to the internal movement section) where the user is located to the destination location (the location of the destination locker) Let's say you want to be provided with a route (that is, an internal navigation route). In this case, the destination location may be a location of a locker located on the ground or in a station. Hereinafter, a description will be made on the assumption that the destination location is the location of the locker located in the station.

That is, hereinafter, as an example, a case in which a user desires to be provided with a route (direction information) to a location of a locker located within a specific station will be described as an example.

As an example, the user may select the AR scan tab on the main screen, and in response to a user input (selection) for the AR scan tab, the guidance control unit 13 controls the image acquisition sensor (ie, camera) of the user terminal 1 . It can be controlled to an active ON state where image taking/acquisition is possible. In this case, the screen of the user terminal 1 in a state in which the image acquisition sensor is controlled to be active ON may be the same as the screen (a) of FIG. 11 , for example.

In this state, the user can use the user terminal 1 to take a picture of a road guide sign provided (existing) in the internal space where the user is located in order to be provided with a route to the desired destination location (internal route guide route). there is.

For example, when the user photographs a road guide sign as shown in FIG. Through comparison (matching) between a plurality of images pre-stored in , it may be identified whether the image obtained from the user terminal 1 is an image related to an internal road related to an internal road belonging to an internal movement section within the reference route.

As a result of the identification, when it is identified that the image obtained from the user terminal 1 is an image related to the inner road, the guide control unit 13 provides an example to the user who has obtained the image related to the inner road as shown in FIG. 11B as an example. Compensation can be provided as

Here, the reward is a reward given to the user when a normal internal road-related image is obtained, and may be provided in the form of rubies, coins, points, etc. there is. For example, the guide control unit 13 may provide (pay) one ruby to the user as a reward whenever one normal internal road-related image is obtained.

When such a reward is obtained enough to satisfy a preset condition (for example, when 50 rubies are obtained), the user can use it like cash at a store linked (affiliated) with the route guidance provider 150. can

At this time, the compensated image is an image determined to be a normal internal road-related image related to an internal road belonging to the internal movement section, which may be additionally stored in a database unit (not shown) in connection with location information and direction information. there is. In this way, when images additionally stored in the database unit (not shown) are later acquired by another user, the standard is used to determine whether the corresponding internal road-related image is a normal image (normal internal road-related image). It can be used as data (comparative data).

Also, in the above description, it has been exemplified that whether to provide a reward is determined depending on whether a normal internal road-related image is obtained, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when a QR code located in an area within each subway station is recognized through the user terminal 1 , the guide control unit 13 may provide a reward (ruby) in response to the recognized QR code.

In addition, when an image including a road guide sign as shown in (a) of FIG. 11 is acquired, the second route generator 12 analyzes the acquired image, and the acquired image is It may be identified whether the image is related to an interior road belonging to the interior space (ie, an image related to an interior road). Here, when analyzing an image, various image recognition algorithms known in the prior art or developed in the future may be applied, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second path generator 12 may identify whether the acquired image is an internal road-related image through comparison (matching) with a plurality of images previously stored in a database unit (not shown).

In addition, the second route generator 12 may determine the current location of the user based on the identified internal road-related image. That is, since the plurality of images stored in the database unit (not shown) are stored in association with the above-mentioned location information and direction information when the image is taken, the second path generating unit 12 based on this is stored in the database A matching image matching the acquired image may be identified among images previously stored in the unit (not shown), and the current location of the user may be determined based on the identified matching image. In this case, the second route generator 12 may determine the location information stored in association with the matching image as the user's current location.

As described above, the second path generator 12 may determine the user's location information (current location information) through the location acquisition sensor of the user terminal 1 as an example, but as another example, through the user terminal 1 Based on the matching result between the acquired image and images pre-stored in the database unit (not shown), the user's location information (current location information) may be identified.

As a result of matching with images pre-stored in the database unit (not shown), as an example, the second path generator 12 sets the 'Dongincheon Line 1 platform' to the user's current location as shown in FIG. 11(c). Let us assume that Thereafter, the guide control unit 13 may provide a destination (or destination) input menu for receiving destination information to the user on the screen of the user terminal 1 as shown in FIG. 11( c ).

In this case, the guide control unit 13 may provide a destination input menu, for example, when a path (reference path) is not generated by the first path generating unit 11 . In other words, the guide control unit 13 is, for example, in the case where a route (reference route) to the destination is not generated as information about the origin and destination is not input from the user in the first route generator 11 , A destination input menu may be provided on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

As such, in response to the destination input menu displayed on the screen, the user may input destination information (destination information) by directly typing, for example, through the user terminal 1 . The second route generating unit 12 is the location of the destination information received from the user in response to the destination input menu from the location (the user's current location, the location of the departure point) corresponding to the internal road-related image obtained from the user terminal 1 path can be created as an internal navigation path. According to this, the first route generator 11 has been exemplified only as being included in the route guide providing unit 150 in the above description, but the present invention is not limited thereto. may be omitted accordingly.

The guidance controller 13 may generate internal guidance information including the corresponding internal guidance route based on the internal guidance route generated by the second route generator 12 . The guide control unit 13 may provide (control) the generated internal road guide information to be displayed on the screen of the user terminal 1 based on augmented reality as shown in FIG. 11( d ) as an example.

The guide control unit 13 may provide movement guide information in consideration of the information on the inner way guide route and the location information of the user that is changed according to the movement of the user when providing the inner way guide information.

In addition, in the example of the present application described above, the destination information (destination information) (ie, the location of the destination locker) on the screen as shown in FIG. not. As another example, destination information (destination information) (ie, the location of the destination locker) may be input by the user selecting any one of icons corresponding to the matching lockers displayed on the map as described above.

In addition, in one example of the present application, the location of any one of the lockers existing on the ground and/or underground is exemplified as being input as destination information, but it is not limited thereto, and destination information includes train station information, underground shopping mall information, and convenience facilities. Various types of information such as information may be input. That is, the route guidance providing unit 150 of the device 100 not only provides route guidance information to the location of the locker, but also guides the route to the location of the corresponding destination by using various types of information as the destination. information can be provided.

For example, when the user selects the route map selection menu displayed on the screen, the guide controller 13 may provide list information about all subway stations existing on the subway route map as a detailed menu therefor. When the user selects any one subway station from the list information on all subway stations, the selected subway station may be input as destination information.

In addition, when the user selects the underground shopping mall selection menu displayed on the screen, the guide control unit 13 provides list information on a plurality of shopping malls included in the corresponding internal space as a detailed menu for that of the user terminal 1 . can be provided on the screen. When the user selects any one of the list information on the plurality of shopping malls, the location of the selected shopping mall may be input as destination information.

In addition, when the user's selection of the convenience facility selection menu displayed on the screen is made, the guide control unit 13 provides a detailed menu for the plurality of convenience facilities ( For example, list information about a toilet in a subway station, an escalator, an elevator, a convenience store, an information desk, a transportation card charging station, an article locker, etc.) may be provided on the screen of the user terminal 1 . When the user selects any one of the list information on the plurality of convenience facilities, the location of the selected convenience facility may be input as destination information.

Illustratively, when a toilet in a subway station is input as destination information among list information for a plurality of convenience facilities, the second route generator 12 is a destination selected by the user from a location corresponding to the internal road-related image. The route to the location of the toilet in the subway station, which is information, can be created as an internal route guidance route. The guidance controller 13 may provide the internal guidance information generated based on the internal guidance route to the screen of the user terminal 1 based on AR.

As another example, as the user selects a transportation card charging station (this means a transportation card charging station existing in a subway station that is an internal space where the user is located) among list information on a plurality of convenience facilities, the selected transportation card charging station is the destination Let's say it's entered as information. In this case, the second route generator 12 guides the route from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image (that is, the user's current location) to the location of the transportation card charging station in the subway station, which is the destination information selected by the user. path can be created. The guidance controller 13 may provide the internal guidance information generated based on the internal guidance route to the screen of the user terminal 1 based on AR.

At this time, when a convenient facility is selected as the destination information, the guide control unit 13 places an icon corresponding to the convenient facility at a location corresponding to the selected convenient facility on the user terminal 1 as shown in FIG. can be displayed together.

In addition, as described above, the second route generating unit 12 is configured to provide a path (shortest route) from a location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the closest exit from the destination location among exits belonging to the internal movement section. ) may be generated as an internal guidance route, and internal guidance information to a destination (to a destination locker) based on the generated internal guidance route may be provided to the user terminal 1 .

In this case, the internal route guidance information may include an estimated walking time. At this time, the estimated walking time is to be calculated by the calculation unit (not shown), the walking data DB (not shown), the feature DB (not shown) and the analysis unit (not shown) included in the road guide providing unit 150 . can

That is, although not shown in the drawings, the road guide providing unit 150 may include a calculator (not shown), a walking data DB (not shown), a feature DB (not shown), and an analysis unit (not shown). .

The calculator (not shown) calculates the walking travel time ( predicted walking travel time). In this case, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the walking travel time in consideration of the user's walking characteristic information obtained by analyzing the user's walking sensing data previously stored in the walking data DB (not shown).

To this end, the analysis unit (not shown) may analyze the user's walking characteristic information using the walking sensing data stored in the walking data DB (not shown).

Here, the walking sensing data may refer to data (sensing values, measured values) sensed through a walking sensor provided in the user terminal 1 as the user walks. The walk sensor is a sensor capable of sensing (measuring) data related to the user's walking (step), and may include, for example, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a GPS sensor, etc., but is not limited thereto, and a pedometer, etc. may be included.

In addition, in an example of the present application, the walk sensing data is exemplified as data sensed (measured, acquired) using a walk sensor provided in the user terminal 1, but is not limited thereto, and the number of steps (steps) of the user; Various walking analysis techniques that can measure or calculate the stride length, walking speed (walking speed, gait), walking distance, etc. (ie, various walking analysis techniques known in the prior art or developed in the future) may be applied.

In addition, the walking characteristic information may refer to information obtained by analyzing walking sensing data previously stored in the walking data DB (not shown) in association with the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown). That is, the analysis unit (not shown) may acquire walking characteristic information through analysis using the walking sensing data stored in the walking data DB (not shown). In particular, the analysis unit (not shown) may acquire the walking characteristic information of the user by performing analysis by linking the walking sensing data and the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown).

The walking characteristic information is information about the user's walking characteristics in consideration of the topographical information, and may mean, for example, walking speed (walking speed), but is not limited thereto. The walking characteristic information may refer to speed information in which topographic information is taken into consideration, not simply speed according to distance.

The walking data DB (not shown) can obtain and store the walking sensing data sensed (measured) through the walk sensor provided in the user terminal 1 possessed by the user from the walk sensor when the user moves on foot. there is. In the walking data DB (not shown), walking sensing data may be accumulated and stored.

The feature DB (not shown) may store feature information. A landmark can refer to the appearance (shape) of the land and all objects on the ground.

The feature information may include slope information (slope) of the terrain for a specific section. The slope information includes information such as whether it is a flat land with a slope of 0, an uphill terrain with a positive slope (+x°), a downhill terrain with a negative slope (-x°), and whether the inner length is hollow. may be included. In addition, the feature information may include information such as whether the specific section is an escalator section or an elevator area as feature information for a specific section.

At this time, the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown) may be information obtained using various feature surveying techniques that are known in the prior art or developed in the future, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The analysis unit (not shown) links the walking sensing data stored in the walking data DB (not shown) and the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown) with each other, and information about the user's walking characteristics (that is, walking characteristics) information) can be analyzed. That is, the analysis unit (not shown) may acquire walking characteristic information of the user in consideration of the geographical feature information through analysis by linking the walking sensing data and the topographical feature information.

Illustratively, as information analyzed by an analysis unit (not shown) in the walking characteristic information of the user considering the topographical information, the walking speed when the user walks in a section of 100m with an inclination of +60° is 1.66m/ s, when the user walks a section of 100m with an inclination of +20°, the stride rate is 1.79m/s Analysis information such as 1.55 m/s may be included in the stride rate when the user walks the stairs of 100 m section formed in °.

The analysis unit (not shown) can perform analysis based on the deep learning model (ie, learning using the deep learning model) by linking the walking sensing data and the topographical information with each other, for example, and through this, over time Accordingly, as the number of walking sensing data increases, more accurate feature information is obtained, and user's walking characteristic information is acquired (that is, accurate user's walking characteristic information optimized for each feature type by considering various types of feature information) can be obtained).

The deep learning model may refer to, for example, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm model, a machine learning (machine learning) model, a neural network model (an artificial neural network model), a neurofuzzy model, and the like. In addition, the deep learning model is exemplarily a convolutional neural network (CNN, convolutional neural network), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a deep neural network, etc. that have been previously known or developed in the future. Various neural network models can be applied.

The calculation unit (not shown) considers the user's walking characteristic information obtained through analysis by the analysis unit (not shown) (that is, the user's walking characteristic information in which the topographical information is considered), from the location of the departure point information to the destination. It is possible to calculate the walking travel time for the internal navigation route to the location of the information. The walking time calculated by the calculator (not shown) may be expressed differently as a predicted walking time, a required walking time, an estimated walking (required) time, and the like.

In order to calculate the walking travel time (predicted walking travel time) for the internal guidance path corresponding to the internal guidance information provided by the guidance control unit 13, the calculator (not shown) is configured to perform the calculation from the feature DB (not shown). Identifies information on features on the route corresponding to the internal route guidance route, and calculates the estimated walking time in consideration of the user's walking characteristic information analyzed (obtained) by the analysis unit (not shown) and the identified feature information on the route can be calculated.

Here, the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown) may include information related to the first factor affecting the gait speed when the user moves on foot. In this case, the information related to the first element may be information related to at least one of the slope of the terrain (flat, uphill, downhill), stairs, escalators, and elevators.

In an example of the present application, as information related to the first factor affecting the user's pace, at least one of the slope of the terrain, stairs, elevators, and escalators has been exemplified, but it is not limited thereto, and the user's pace is not limited thereto. Various terrain-related factors that can influence can be considered.

Specifically, the user's walking speed (ie, walking speed) may differ depending on whether the user is moving on a flat ground, an uphill road, a downhill road, or a staircase, an escalator, an elevator, etc. The pacing rate may differ from user to user.

In the case of the prior art, in providing the walking time for a specific route, a standardized walking time determined only according to the distance without considering individual walking characteristics was provided. Illustratively, in the case of the prior art, a uniform walking time for a specific route is provided in proportion to the distance, such as 1 minute for 100 m, 2 minutes for 200 m, and the like.

On the other hand, the calculation unit (not shown) applies the walking characteristic information of the user (user individual) analyzed by the analysis unit (not shown) to the feature information on the path corresponding to the internal road guide path, which is calculated As the walking travel time for the internal guidance route, it is possible to calculate the user's personalized walking time customized to the user's walking characteristics by reflecting the characteristics of the features of the corresponding internal guidance route.

For example, as a result of the identification of the feature information on the route by the calculator (not shown), the internal route guidance path corresponding to the identified feature information on the route is a first section corresponding to 200m with an inclination of +20° , a second section corresponding to 100m in which there are stairs going down, and a third section corresponding to 100m, which is flat ground.

In this case, the calculation unit (not shown) considers the walking characteristic information of the user analyzed by the analysis unit (not shown), and applies the information to each section (each of the first section to the third section) included in the corresponding internal route guidance route. It is possible to calculate the walking time for each section customized to the user, and by summing the calculated walking time for each section, finally the walking time for the internal guidance route (that is, the estimated walking time based on the user’s walking characteristics) required time) can be calculated.

The calculator (not shown) calculates the walking travel time in consideration of the information related to the first factor, as the absolute value of the inclination has a large value (that is, the steeper the uphill slope, the steeper the downhill slope), By predicting that the walking travel time takes longer, the walking travel time can be calculated as a larger value. In other words, the walking travel time calculated by the calculator (not shown) may be calculated as, for example, a larger value as the absolute value of the inclination in the information related to the first element included in the feature information on the route increases.

In addition, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the estimated walking time for the internal navigation route in consideration of the wearables information previously obtained from the user.

Here, the wearable article information may refer to information about a wearable article that the user is going to wear or possess when the user walks on an internal navigation route. In this case, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the estimated walking travel time in consideration of the walking characteristic information, the information on the features on the route for the internal route guidance route, and the information on the wearable items.

The wearing article information may be, for example, information directly input by the user through the user terminal 1 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the wearable article information is provided by interlocking the wearable article information providing unit (peripheral device) capable of providing information on the wearable article worn by the user and the road guide providing unit 150 with each other. It may be information obtained from the information providing unit. Here, the wearing article information providing unit may be, for example, an image acquisition sensor (ie, a camera) provided in the user terminal 1 , but is not limited thereto.

For example, the user may acquire a wearable article related image by photographing a wearable item (including belongings) that the user owns or is wearing through the image acquisition sensor of the user terminal 1 .

The calculator (not shown) may identify the wearable article included in the image by performing image analysis on the wearable article-related image, and information on the identified wearable article by performing a search for the identified wearable article (that is, information on wearing items) can be obtained. In this case, the wearable information may refer to information including information related to the second element.

Here, the wearable article information may include information related to the second factor affecting the pace when the user walks. The information related to the second element may be information related to at least one of whether the user has luggage, the type of luggage, the type of shoes worn by the user, and the type of clothing worn by the user.

The calculator (not shown) may automatically search the Internet for the same wearable article as the wearable article identified by image analysis through linkage with the Internet, for example, and based on this, information about the wearable article possessed or worn by the user ( That is, information on wearing items) can be obtained.

For example, it is assumed that high heels are included as shoes worn by the user in the image captured by the image acquisition sensor. The calculator (not shown) may identify the high heel as a wearable article included in the image by performing image analysis on the acquired wearable article-related image. Thereafter, the calculator (not shown) may search for high heels matching the high heels in the identified image (ie, the same wearing item that matches) using the Internet. Based on such an Internet search result, the calculator (not shown) may acquire information about high heels included in the identified image (ie, information on wearing items). In this case, the information about the high heel may include, for example, information about the heel height and weight of the high heel.

In this case, various image analysis algorithms (various image analysis algorithms for identifying objects in an image) that are conventionally existing or developed in the future may be applied to the analysis of the image acquired from the image acquisition sensor.

When the wearable information is not obtained, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the walking travel time for the inner path guidance path in consideration of the walking characteristic information and the feature information on the path. On the other hand, when the wearable information is obtained, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the walking moving time for the inner route guidance route by further considering the wearable information as well as the walking characteristic information and the information on the features on the route.

In order to provide an accurate walking time that is more customized to the user, it may be preferable to calculate the walking time by considering the walking characteristic information and the information on the features on the route as well as the information on the wearable items in the way guide providing unit 150. there is.

Here, the wearable information may include information related to the second factor affecting the pace when the user walks. The information related to the second element may be information related to at least one of whether the user has luggage, the type of luggage, the type of shoes worn by the user, and the type of clothing worn by the user.

In this case, the type of luggage (owned items) may include the weight of the luggage, the size of the luggage, the shape of the luggage, and the like. Here, the shape of the luggage means, for example, if the luggage is a bag, whether it is a wheeled carrier of a towable type, a bag that the user can carry on his or her back, a bag to be carried over one shoulder, or a bag that has only a handle and must be carried by hand. can mean etc. Also, the shape of the luggage may include whether it is a box box or the like. In this application, the terms luggage and article may be used interchangeably.

The type of shoe worn by the user may include a type of shoe, a heel height of the shoe, and the like. Here, the type of shoe may include, but is not limited to, whether it is sneakers or high heels.

The user's attire type may include, but is not limited to, whether it is a skirt, pants, a shirt, a sweatshirt, or a suit.

In one example of the present application, as information related to the second factor affecting the user's pace, at least one of whether the user has luggage, the type of luggage, the type of shoes worn by the user, and the type of clothing of the user is considered only However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various belongings or wearables that may affect the user's perseverance may be considered.

Illustratively, if the user intends to move with a relatively heavy load when performing walking, the user's stride rate may be slower than that of the user without the load (basic stride rate). In addition, when the user walks, when he wears high heels having a heel of 7 cm, the pace may be slower than when he wears sneakers. Also, when the user walks, when he wears high heels having a heel of 7 cm, the pace may be slower than when he wears high heels having a heel of 3 cm.

As such, the user's walking speed (i.e., pace) may differ depending on the type of wearable information the user has or is wearing (specifically, according to the type of information related to the second element), This gait difference may appear differently for each user. Accordingly, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the predicted walking time customized to the user in consideration of the type of information about belongings.

In the present specification, it is preferable that the information on wearables be understood as a concept that includes not only wearable items such as hats, clothing, pants, shoes, accessories, etc. worn on the user's body, but also information about belongings such as carriers, boxes, and shopping bags. Do.

When calculating the walking travel time in consideration of the information related to the second factor, the calculator (not shown) predicts that the walking time will take longer as the weight and size of the load are larger. Time can be calculated as a larger value. In other words, the walking travel time calculated by the calculator (not shown) is, for example, a larger value as the weight value and size value of the load in the information related to the second element included in the wearables information have larger values. can be calculated.

In this way, the calculator (not shown) provides the walking travel time for a specific route (internal route guidance route) from the origin to the destination (destination), unlike conventional techniques that generally provide a standardized walking travel time. In contrast, when the user moves on foot, it is optimal for each user in consideration of various factors that may affect gait speed (that is, first factors related to a feature, second factors related to wearables) and information about the user's walking characteristics to calculate the customized walking travel time.

The guide control unit 13 may display the predicted walking travel time and internal route guidance information calculated by the calculator (not shown) on the screen of the user terminal 1 . In other words, the guidance control unit 13 may control (provide) to display internal road guidance information including the predicted walking time on the screen of the user terminal 1 .

That is, in the internal guidance information displayed on the screen, the predicted walking travel time predicted by the road guidance providing unit 150 for the internal guidance route and the time required when the user moves the corresponding internal route guidance route on foot may be included. In addition, the internal navigation information may include distance information on the internal navigation route.

The route guidance provider 150 may calculate the required walking time (expected walking travel time) for the internal route guidance route based on personalized step information (ie, walking characteristic information). The route guidance providing unit 150 may provide the user with an optimized time required for walking (walking time).

The road guide providing unit 150 may accumulate step data (walking sensing data) of a user (a pedestrian) and store it in a walking data DB (not shown). In consideration of the user's walking characteristic information analyzed using the walking sensing data stored in the walking data DB (not shown), the road guide providing unit 150 provides the user's individual cumulative step data (accumulated walking sensing), not a uniform required time. data), it is possible to calculate and provide an accurate estimated walking travel time (estimated walking duration) for each individual user.

In addition, the road guide providing unit 150 may calculate the walking time by further considering the information on features on the route. That is, the route guidance providing unit 150 may determine the features on the internal road guide path generated using the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown), and calculate the walking travel time in consideration of the identified features. there is.

That is, the road guide providing unit 150 uses the topographic information stored in the topographical feature DB (not shown) to identify factors (first factors) that affect the user's gait existing on the internal road guide route. After that, by applying the user's walking characteristic information previously analyzed by the analysis unit (not shown) to the identified elements, the influence (that is, the influence of the first elements) on the route is considered. It is possible to calculate the walking travel time customized to the user.

In addition, the road guide providing unit 150 may calculate the walking travel time in consideration of the user's walking characteristic information and topographical feature information, as well as information on items worn or possessed by the user. Here, the wearable goods information relates to articles worn or possessed by the user, and may include information about luggage, articles, clothes, shoes being worn, and the like. The route guidance providing unit 150 may provide the estimated walking travel time from the departure point to the destination customized to the user. That is, the route guidance providing unit 150 may provide the estimated actual walking time customized to the user's walking as the walking travel time for the internal route guidance route.

The route guidance provider 150 calculates the walking travel time (walking time) from the origin to the destination (destination locker, first matching locker) in consideration of the user's individual walking speed (walking speed, walking speed), the user of the application It can be provided in the form of an interface (UI, User Interface).

In the conventional route guidance technology, a uniform walking travel time (walking time required) from a starting point to a destination is simply provided. On the other hand, in providing the walking travel time in the device 100, the route guidance providing unit 150 stores the user's step data (walking sensing data), and then walking characteristic information analyzed using the stored walking sensing data; Information on the user's wearables (for example, luggage, things, clothes, shoes, etc.) can be comprehensively considered (reflected) together to calculate the walking travel time.
