Vehicle information providing service using customer reservation information {Vehicles information offering service by client subscription information}

The present invention relates to a vehicle information providing service using the customer reservation information, and in particular, customer reservation information that provides the location information service of the customer and the vehicle, as well as providing the operation information of the vehicle operated at irregular intervals according to the schedule input by the customer. It relates to a vehicle information providing service using.

As metropolitanization continues, where most of the population is concentrated in cities, transportation solutions are becoming an important task. As a solution, in the case of large cities, the subway is proposed as a major alternative to the transportation solution. Nevertheless, the use of the subway only by everyone is confronted with the limitations of the expansion of the line, which raises its limits. For this reason, buses such as city buses and the longest history of public transportation have continued as one of the important transportation solutions. By the way, as the number of private cars is increasing in each household, even if most of the roads are owned by cars, the road situation is extremely exacerbated. This, in turn, causes congestion of buses in and out of the city, which are an important part of the traffic solution, thus causing inconvenience to users.

Fortunately, even in this reality, a way to recognize the current traffic situation has been suggested. In other words, by accessing the Internet using a mobile terminal, traffic congestion can be detected to avoid traffic congestion. For example, by allowing wireless communication between buses and platforms on each line, the customer can know the location of the bus or the arrival time of the bus he / she desires, or when the customer requests bus information, the mobile terminal That's one system you can provide. In addition, it is also possible to receive the position information of the vehicle from the satellite via a GPS (Global Positioning System) attached to the vehicle and to provide the position information to the mobile communication terminal of the information user using a communication network. This is not only limited to buses, but is widely applied to public transportation such as subways.

However, in consideration of the fact that the above-mentioned city, internal and external buses, subways, etc. are operated on a regular basis, a wireless information transmitter or GPS receiver is installed in each bus platform and the bus to transmit the operation information to the customer. As a matter of fact, they are unable to perform traffic information service considering the convenience of customers. In other words, only a one-way service is provided by informing the passengers of the current location of the vehicle and the arrival time of the platform through the SMS of the mobile communication terminal only when the customer requests from the central server providing the traffic information. It is a situation. In addition, the above-mentioned buses, subways, etc. are regularly operated, so even if you do not use them on time, you are already familiar with the intervals of public transportation. Possible disadvantages have been revealed. If the operating time is not constant, such as commuter buses, school buses, or department store buses, and the number of times of operation and the number of vehicles are limited, the customer quickly confirms the facts when the vehicle passes by at the station where he / she intends to board. Services that allow the use of other alternative means of transport have not been performed.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle information that is suitable for a vehicle that is run on a non-periodical basis, and to provide a driving system for the vehicle that is operated on a schedule input by the customer by establishing a system and a system therefor. In addition, by providing a vehicle information providing service using the customer reservation information that tracks the location of the mobile communication terminal and the vehicle owned by the customer according to the schedule to track the passing vehicle or route information of the public transportation that is regularly operated. have.

It consists of a pre-stored memory, a sensor for sensing between the stop and the vehicle, and a communication module for transmitting the signal to the traffic information center when receiving a signal from the sensor. In addition, the vehicle position detecting means 10 may use a GPS receiver to perform a navigation (navigation) service for land, sea, and air operations using the position information received through the satellite 50. In addition, since the data packet in GPS basically has a measurement time, a position coordinate value, and a subscriber terminal number, it is possible to grasp the position of the mobile chain mobile communication terminal by time zone, so that the movement trajectory is GIS (geographic information system) if necessary. It would be desirable to provide equipment for display on a map. This is because it can be used for smooth communication of non-regular public transportation. That is, to receive services such as a route where traffic is not crowded. In the present invention, a case of a vehicle equipped with GPS will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the GPS receiver is divided into three blocks. The GPS receiver has a high frequency unit 101 for converting 1.2 or 1.5 GHz signals received by the antenna into a low frequency, which is easy to handle, and a message and pseudo distance from the satellite by despreading to restore the spread of the spectrum. And a microcomputer unit 103 for calculating a current position from the message and pseudorange obtained from the signal processor 102. FIG.

The information transmission means 20 means a conventional mobile communication terminal, a PDA, or a normal computer. In the present invention, a case in which a computer is used for the first use and a subsequent communication service is used will be described. As shown in Fig. 3, the mobile communication terminal should be a model that can basically access the Internet. To this end, the mobile communication terminal basically receives a high frequency signal related to data and position data such as text, voice, and image transmitted from the base station 70 through an antenna, and filters only a required band from the high frequency signal transmitted simultaneously.

As shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle information providing service company 30 basically provides a vehicle information providing server and is always connected to the Internet / network through a router 301. Here, the security server 302, web server 303, billing authentication server 304, mail server 305, database (DB) server 306, storage (Storage) server 307, file conversion server ( 308, file transfer server 309, FTP server 310, backup server 311 and the like, respectively. Here, a system manager 312 and a system operator 313 in charge of managing and operating the servers are connected to the servers.

The vehicle information providing server operates a website according to the above configuration, and specifically, grasps information input from a customer and driving information of a registered vehicle, and provides vehicle information to a customer according to a schedule (schedule). Done. In addition, management as a normal server is performed in addition to schedule management for each time zone of the customer. The mail server 305 performs a mail transmission function through a short message service, for example, in response to various schedules received from a user. The database server 306 stores data transmitted from a customer and driving information on various vehicles, and stores statistical arithmetic programs for connection of these data and vehicle tracking, and the like to the vehicle information providing server. It performs the data reading function to transfer and operate. On the other hand, the server that is not described is a simple description of the normal function will be omitted.

Here, there should be a mobile communication service company 40 that performs the relay role of the mobile communication terminal and the satellite. The mobile communication service company 40 is provided with a swap server (not shown) similar to the configuration of the vehicle information providing server described above, and further includes a wireless transmission and reception means (not shown) for wireless transmission and reception. The WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) server provided by the mobile communication service company 40 is specifically provided for performing Internet services in the mobile communication terminal. This WAP refers to a wireless application protocol technology that allows a mobile terminal to access the Internet using a web browser. The Internet access method through the WAP is required by the mobile terminal in the middle of the existing Internet access method. A WAP Gateway is added to transmit the information to the Internet network and re-deliver the Internet network response to the mobile communication terminal. That is, the existing Internet access method uses a URL response request transmission method between a PC and a web server, whereas the wireless Internet access method using the WAP responds between a mobile communication terminal, a swap gateway, and a web server. Use request delivery.

A process of performing a vehicle information providing service using customer reservation information using the system configured as described above will be described.

Here, first, the information of the operation of the vehicle that is operated at irregular intervals has already been received from the owner of each vehicle, and the database is made to proceed to the following. This can be defined as both the customer and the vehicle as a member, the membership registration process of the vehicle is made of the usual information acquisition required by the vehicle information providing service company 30, such as the number of driving, the driving time, the driving route.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle information providing service using customer reservation information of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, a customer first accesses a website operated on the Internet using his user terminal (S1). This website means a website operated by the vehicle information providing service company 30. Then, the user proceeds to search the linked page constituting the website, the process is registered as a member through the search (S2). After the normal personal information is entered and registered as a member, the desired schedule (schedule), time, starting point, destination, notification method, notification means, etc. are written and transmitted (S3). 6 to 9 are windows showing the output window for receiving the traffic information service using a conventional PC. As illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 9, windows are configured to allow a customer to select a vehicle, a notification means, a notification time setting, a notification station, and the like. This is not a notification method that is usually made at a predetermined time, but as an alarm function that a notification is made at a desired time by a customer, and configured to select an alarm time through the above windows.

Then, the vehicle information providing service company 30 stores the data input by the customer in the database server 306 (S4). Subsequently, the vehicle information providing server compares the data stored in the database server 306 with various vehicles that are currently being operated and searches for a vehicle that operates a desired route. On the other hand, when the customer designates a specific vehicle, the data input by the customer is compared with the vehicle driving information (S5). The vehicle information providing server calculates and outputs the most optimized data (S6) and transmits the data to the mail server 305. In response, the mail server 305 transmits the read data to the mobile communication service company 40. The mobile communication service company 40 transmits data through the base station 70 in the notification method selected by the customer (S7).

The customer checks the data transmitted from the mobile communication service company 40 (S8). The customer can reconfirm this transferred data by accessing the Internet via a normal PC. In addition, it may be desirable to use the PC when the schedule is changed due to dissatisfaction with the transmitted result data. When the customer schedule is changed, the above-described process is repeated again, and thus redundant description is omitted (S9).

On the other hand, when the customer reaches the date and time input, the vehicle information providing service company 30 will notify the customer that the time the customer has booked (S10). The customer is moved to the platform to meet the scheduled time (S11).

At this time, when the vehicle does not arrive at the platform at the scheduled time and the vehicle passes (S12), if it is determined that the boarding time, the vehicle information providing service company 30 automatically of the customer's mobile communication terminal and the GPS receiver of the vehicle Tracking is made automatically (S13). The process is shown in detail in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 10, first, location registration of a current location is performed (S131). At this time, when the mobile communication terminal moves from one base station 70 to another base station 70 (S132), that is, from one cell to another cell, When the new base station 70 has information, when the new base station 70 information occurs, the location registration is performed immediately (S133), and the base station 70 receiving the location registration transmits it to an exchange (not shown) ( In step S134, the switching center stores it in a visitor location register (VLR) (step S135). At this time, the switching center transmits it when it is designated as a location tracking terminal or when a request occurs from another system (S136). The process from the base station 70 to the switching station uses a conventional method, and by partially modifying the location registration function of the mobile communication terminal, the location information finally stored in the VLR is detailed from the zone to the cell. The location tracking system searches the map coordinate data of each cell stored and finds the location of the mobile communication terminal which has sent the cell information within the error of the cell size (S137). The zone of the CDMA mobile communication network has a radius of several kilometers, and therefore, the zone-based location information in the current state is difficult to apply to the location tracking service because the error reaches several kilometers. However, since the cell divided into zones has a radius of 4000 to 5000 "m" in the city center, even if the position of the mobile communication terminal is arbitrarily set to the cell center, the error of the position information is about 1 "Km". Therefore, most of the location tracking application services that allow an error of several hundred meters can be provided with sufficient cell location information.

As such, the vehicle information providing service company 30 tracks the location of the mobile communication terminal of the customer in the above-described manner from the time when the schedule of the customer starts, and simultaneously displays the location of the vehicle on the GIS to display these two marker points. Compare the differences.

At this time, when the position of the customer and the position of the vehicle move on the same line in the category of "Km", it is determined that the customer has boarded the vehicle.

On the other hand, if the position of the customer and the position of the vehicle is out of the set value, that is, 10 "Km" set value over time, that is, more than the set value is determined that the customer did not ride the vehicle. Subsequently, the vehicle information providing service company 30 suggests a way for the customer to board the vehicle. In other words, the present invention proposes a method for boarding a vehicle that cannot be boarded in a bus and subway operated regularly at a current location of a customer. Of course, this is a state in which the route of the vehicle has already been determined, and the vehicle information providing server of the vehicle information providing service company 30 calculates and outputs the result value by expressing the speed moving along the route to the GIS through the GPS service. will be. The calculation is performed immediately when it is out of the above-mentioned 10 "Km" setting value. As a result, if there is a fast route to board the past vehicle, it is notified to the customer, otherwise it provides the time of the next vehicle, or notifies the bus or subway line that is regularly operated (S14) . This decision is an option that the customer must make. After that, tracking whether the vehicle has passed, or whether or not the public transportation is in service on a regular basis may be optionally performed for the convenience of the customer. Expansion of customer service may be included in the object of the present invention.

Here, the present invention has been described an example in which the GPS receiver is mounted on the vehicle, but by mounting the CDMA module of the same principle as the mobile communication terminal in the vehicle, the customer's mobile communication terminal and the CDMA module of the vehicle can be tracked and compared with each other. It is a well known fact.

In addition, although the present invention has been exemplified in the case of applying to a vehicle that is run at irregular intervals, it is well known that the present invention can be applied to public transportation that is regularly run.

As described above, the vehicle information providing service using the customer reservation information according to the present invention targets a certain number of times when applied to a vehicle that does not operate several times a day, such as an irregular line, so that an effective service is provided to all the customers. Will be able to provide In addition, by determining whether the customer boards the vehicle in the vehicle information providing service company 30 and automatically sends a solution to the customer, such as a mobile communication terminal, so that the customer can track the vehicle or use other public transportation means The hassle of connecting to can be prevented. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it will be apparent that many modifications are possible by those skilled in the art within the technical spirit of the present invention.
