The present invention provides a method for creating a theater map for seat reservation / sale, a method and system for providing a seat reservation service using the same, and more particularly, a map including seat information for a large-scale venue, and more convenient for performing the seat information of the theater. It relates to a method of providing a booking service that can be confirmed easily.

As the use of the internet has changed, performance bookings such as plays, movies, and musicals are being made by the Internet rather than by telephone or other forms of booking. Such an online ticketing is not only required to go to the venue directly to make a reservation, but also because it is possible to make reservations while being provided with detailed information on the venue, it is expected that its use will be further increased.

In particular, the venue seat reservation through the Internet has the advantage of making a reservation while specifying the seat directly. In the related art, the seat reservation service on the Internet has been provided in such a manner that a user provides an image file of a seating arrangement map of a venue and requests a reservation of a specific seat number after the user confirms the seat arrangement from the image file.

The seat arrangement image file provided in the conventional internet seat reservation is an image file created by a designer by hand, which is often different from the actual seat arrangement. In addition, since an image file is created by hand, a large performance hall or a complex theater complex has a problem in that it takes a long time to produce an image file.

In addition, the conventional seat arrangement image file inserts link information into each seat drawn on the image so that the user can grasp the information about the seat. Such an image link method not only takes a lot of time to build a database, It took a lot of time to obtain relevant information about the, and there was a problem that the service to search for the desired seat can not be provided at all.

Furthermore, since the venue map is provided in the form of a normal image file, a function such as enlargement / reduction of the venue map is not provided, and thus, it is difficult for a user to accurately grasp the seating arrangement of a large stadium such as a comprehensive playground.

In the present invention, in order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, using a graphic file for the theater structure, such as CAD (Computer Aided Design) using a graphic file for the theater venue for the seat reservation / sale can be generated in a short time We would like to propose a map generation method.

In the step (c), it is preferable to convert the drawing object type of the CAD file into one of the drawing object types of lines, points, and polygons that can be drawn by the GIS engine.

In the step (c), it is preferable to extract block coordinate information, seat coordinate information, block name coordinate information, column number coordinate information, and seat number coordinate information from the venue graphic file.

In the step (d), it is preferable to extract the text information set in the block name layer, the column number layer and the seat number layer of the venue graphic file.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the venue map generation method for seat reservation / sale according to the present invention and a method for providing a seat reservation service using the same.

1 is a flowchart illustrating the overall flow of a method for generating a theater map for booking a seat and providing a reservation service using the generated map according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, a procedure of loading a CAD file of a performance hall is performed (step 100).

As described above, in the case of the conventional seat reservation, the designer had to manually prepare a separate image of the outline shape and seating arrangement of the venue. However, in the present invention, the map of the theater is generated by using the CAD file of the theater structure which is already prepared.

In general, CAD designs are designed for each layer, and in the case of a performance hall, stages, blocks, and seats are designed as separate layers.

The CAD file loaded in step 100 is preferably a CAD file in which a stage, a block, a seat, other facilities, a block number, a seat row number, and a seat number of a concert hall are designed in separate layers. Preferably, an essential layer of a venue CAD file for generating a theater map is a block, a seat, a block name, a column number, a seat number, and optionally, a layer may include a facility, a stage, and the like. The block may not be selected as an essential layer depending on the structure of the performer. Here, the block refers to a unit in which seats are divided by area according to the performance hall. For example, if the set of seats is divided into left, center, and right, the venue may be designed with an A block on the left, a B block on the center, and a C block on the right, and in CAD, these blocks may be divided into separate layers. It is generally designed to be.

If the stage, block, seat, etc. described above in the CAD file are not designed as separate layers, it is preferable that a procedure for modifying the CAD file is performed before loading the CAD file.

The modification of the CAD file does not take much time because the modification of the image object drawn in the CAD file is not the modification of the layer of the image object already drawn.

When the CAD file is loaded, data is extracted for each layer set for the seat, the block, and the like in the above-described manner (step 102). At this time, the coordinate information of the objects included in each layer and the attribute information set in the CAD are extracted.

For example, in the case of the block name layer of the CAD file, the coordinate information and the block name attribute information (block name text in the CAD file) in the CAD file in which the block name is displayed are extracted.

When the coordinate information and the attribute information in the CAD file of each object are extracted, a spatial data file in the map to be generated is generated using the extracted information (step 104). A new spatial data file is created for blocks and seats having a substantial shape among the above-mentioned blocks, seats, block names, column numbers, and essential layers of seat numbers. In addition to the required layer, a spatial data file is generated for an object having a substantial shape among CAD data layers such as a facility.

When the spatial data file is generated, the shape information in the CAD is not reflected as it is, and spatial data is formed by simplifying the shape information of the CAD. For this purpose, a process of converting a drawing object type of CAD is required, where the drawing object type is a drawing object type that can be drawn by a GIS engine. This is because the theater map for seat reservation generated by the present invention is drawn by the GIS engine and information of a specific object is extracted by the GIS engine. Conversion of the drawing object will be described in detail with a separate drawing.

After the spatial data file is generated, an attribute data file corresponding to each spatial data is generated (step 106). In the case of the required layer, an attribute data file for the generated block space data and seat space data is generated. In the case of CAD files, only shape information exists for blocks and seats, but attribute information is not stored in the block and seat layers themselves. In the present invention, the attribute information for the block and the seat is generated by using the information of the block number, column number, and seat number layer which does not generate spatial data.

When the spatial data file and the attribute data file are generated, an index metadata file for interworking the two files is generated (step 108).

The index metadata file is a file used to extract attribute information associated with a corresponding coordinate when a specific coordinate is selected or to extract objects associated with a corresponding attribute when a specific attribute is selected.

By such an index metadata file, when the specific coordinate is selected using the GIS engine, the present invention can provide attribute information corresponding to the coordinate.

When the index metadata file is generated, a seat database for storing additional attribute information of each seat in the generated map is generated, and the additional attribute information for each seat is input and stored in the seat database (step 110). Here, the additional attribute information means all the additional information required for the seat reservation, such as the class of each seat (for example, S seat, A seat B seat, etc.), information on whether the seat is available for reservation. Of course, the additional information input in the attribute data file may be included without creating a separate seat database.

By the above steps 100 to 110, the venue map data for seat reservation according to the present invention is generated. The generated map data is drawn by the GIS engine. The GIS engine draws blocks and seats using the shaped spatial data, and extracts attribute information related to the seats or blocks using the index metadata file when a specific block or seat is formed.

Since the theater map is driven by the GIS engine, it is easy for the operator to input and modify additional information related to each seat. When the operator inputs and edits the additional information, the operator selects a specific seat by clicking or dragging and inputs necessary additional information, and the additional information about the selected seat is automatically input or modified by the GIS engine.

In addition, unlike the conventional theater map data, the theater map data according to the present invention is generated based on a CAD file, and thus, there is no inconvenience that a designer must design an image map manually by hand, as in the prior art, and the time is fast. Production is possible.

In addition, since the attribute information of each object is extracted by the GIS engine, it is easier to manage data than the conventional link method, and it is possible to extract attribute information on the selected object in a short time.

The venue map data formed by the above method may be used by the user to reserve a performance through the web, or may be used to determine a seat that a salesperson currently remains in a ticket office or the like and sell a ticket.

Steps 112 to 116 show a case where the venue map data according to the present invention is used for ticket reservation through the web.

When the user requests the ticket reservation, the web server providing the ticket reservation service receives the user's request information and provides the venue map data to the user (step 112).

The user requests information about a specific seat or a search for a seat that satisfies a specific condition in order to reserve a seat, and the GIS engine provides the user with attribute information according to the user's request information (step 114). The GIS engine needs to be installed on the client's client for drawing and retrieving the property map data and retrieving the attribute information. The user may make various requests through the provided map, and a detailed process of processing each request information will be described with a separate drawing.

When the user requests a reservation for a specific seat through the provided attribute information, the reservation process for the corresponding seat is processed, and the attribute information is updated to reflect that the seat is reserved (step 116).

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a functional block diagram of a venue map data generation and seat reservation service according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

2, the functional block diagram of the theater map data generation and seat reservation service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a theater map data generator 200, GIS engine 202, the engine library 204, the performance hall The map data file processing library 206, the seat controller 208, and the web server 210 may be included.

Except for the web server, the components shown in FIG. 2 may be implemented by software. In this case, a program corresponding to each component may be stored and executed in a single server or may be stored and executed in a plurality of servers for each function. will be.

In addition, a GIS engine for drawing map data provided from the web server is installed inside the user client 212 that communicates with the web server 210 through the network. In the user client, for example, the GIS engine may be installed in the form of ActiveX. Of course, all or part of the engine library may be installed together with the GIS engine.

The venue map data generation unit 200 generates venue map data by the same procedure as in steps 100 to 110 in FIG. 1. The venue map data may be generated by a separate program module or apparatus that performs steps 100 to 110 of FIG. 1 and may be stored in the venue map data storage 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the generated venue map data includes a spatial data file 220 of a layer such as a block and a seat, an attribute data file 222 of each layer, a spatial data file 220, and an attribute data file 222. Index metadata file 224 and additional attribute information database 226 for interworking of the " As described above, the additional attribute information input by the operator may be included in the attribute data file rather than the additional attribute information database 226.

The seat controller 208 is for an interface with an operator or a user. The seat controller 208 provides an interface for selecting a seat and a class by interworking with a GIS engine, and reflects the seat class information input by an operator in an additional attribute information database. To be possible. In addition, the seat control unit 104 receives request information such as map zooming / reducing / moving from an operator or a user, and allows the requested map to be drawn in cooperation with the GIS engine.

The GIS engine 202 functions to draw a venue map using the spatial data file stored in the venue map data storage and provide attributes or additional information about the selected object. The GIS engine uses a library of an engine library 204 and a theater map data file processing library 206 for map drawing and attribute and additional information extraction. The hall map data file processing library 206 stores a library for interworking and processing various map data files stored in the hall map data storage unit 200. The engine library 204 is provided to a general GIS engine, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

3 is a diagram illustrating a linkage relationship between an index metadata file, a spatial data file, and an attribute data file according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an index metadata file according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows a field structure.

If the GIS engine wants to draw a specific object (e.g., a seat) or extract attribute information for a particular object, the index metadata file 302 may be used to access the spatial data file 304 or the attribute data file 306. Extract the information.

As shown in FIG. 6, index metadata The file includes an object ID field 600, a spatial data file offset field 602, and an attribute data file offset field 604.

When the GIS engine wants to draw a specific object, the GIS engine extracts the spatial data file offset information among the information in the index metadata file using the object ID, and coordinate information and the drawing object of the object from the spatial data file corresponding to the offset. Extract type information.

In addition, when the GIS engine wants to extract the attribute information of a specific object, the attribute data file offset information is extracted from the information of the index metadata file using the object ID, and the attribute information is extracted from the attribute information data file corresponding to the offset. Extract.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a rule for converting a drawing object type of CAD according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the spatial data file is generated when the CAD data is converted into the theater map data according to the present invention, and when the spatial data file is generated, the drawing object type of the CAD data is changed to an object type that can be drawn by the GIS engine. In addition, when changing the object type, the drawing object type is changed to be represented as a relatively simplified graphic compared to CAD.

Referring to FIG. 11, the drawing object types of CAD are various, such as line, multi line, poly line, rectangle, polygon, arc, circle, spline, text, multi line text, and the like. The performance hall is drawn using these object types.

However, only three drawing object types are used for data conversion: points, lines, and polygons.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, among the drawing object types of CAD, lines, multilines, arcs, and splines convert object types to be lines. In addition, among the drawing object types of CAD, a rectangle, a polygon, and a circle convert the object type to be a polygon. Also, in the case of polylines in CAD, if you have the closed curve option of a polyline, it will be converted to a polygon. In addition, the center point of the text or the multi-line text is converted to be a point object, and the text and the multi-line text content are converted to be attribute data in the venue map.

The spatial data file generated by the drawing object conversion rule as described above has only three drawing object types of points, lines, and polygons. As such, by simplifying the drawing object type, the size of the transformed spatial data can be reduced compared to CAD.

When converting the CAD file, not only the drawing object information but also the coordinate information of each object is extracted, and the process of converting the extracted coordinate information into coordinate information in the theater map is also performed.

The converted point, line and polygon object information is stored in the spatial data file, and the attribute information converted from the text and multi-line text of the CAD is stored in the attribute data file.

Of the essential layers extracted from CAD, the seats and blocks take the form of closed curves, and the drawing object types in the CAD of the seats and blocks are converted to polygons. In addition, the center point of the block name, the column number, and the seat number among the required layers is converted into points, and each text information is converted into attribute data.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of extracting spatial data and attribute data from a CAD file according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, first, an object is extracted for each layer from a CAD file (step 400). That is, an object is extracted from an essential layer such as a block layer, a seat layer, a block name, a column number, a seat number, and a preset selection layer (eg, a stage or a facility).

If object information is extracted for each layer, the coordinate values of the extracted object are extracted (step 402).

Once the coordinate values are extracted, the drawing object type of each object is converted according to the rules shown in FIG. 11 (step 404). The process of setting the coordinate information for each object using the coordinate values in the extracted CAD file along with the conversion of the drawing object type is also in progress. As mentioned above, various kinds of drawing object types of CAD are converted into one of three drawing object types: points, lines, and polygons.

In the coordinate setting, according to an embodiment of the present invention, only one coordinate value is set for a point of the converted drawing object type, and a bounding box coordinate value for bounding a line or polygon in the case of a line and a polygon Can be set.

The drawing object type converted in step 404 and the coordinate information of each drawing object are stored in the form of a temporary file or a temporary database (step 406). Therefore, blocks, seats, block names, column numbers, drawing object types and coordinate information of the seat numbers, which are essential layers, are stored.

When conversion of the drawing object type and setting of coordinate values are completed, a database for storing attribute information for each layer is generated (step 408).

When the database generation is completed, attribute information is extracted from each extracted object (step 410). Objects extracted from the block and seat layers of the required layers of CAD do not include attribute information because they contain only drawing object-related information. Among the essential layers, the block name, column number, and seat number layer include text information as well as coordinate information, and thus the text information of the above-described layer is extracted as attribute information.

The attribute information extracted for each layer is stored in the generated attribute information database (step 412).

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of generating a spatial data file and an attribute information data file using information extracted from a CAD file according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

After the extracted spatial data and the extracted attribute data information are stored by the process of FIG. 4, the block name information is extracted from the attribute information database (step 500).

In addition, the drawing object type, block coordinates, and block name coordinate information of the block are extracted from the form of a temporary file or the spatial data stored in the database (step 502).

A block space data file and a block attribute data file are generated using the extracted block name, block space data and block name space data (step 504). The block space data file includes the drawing object type of the block, the coordinates of the block, and the coordinates of the block number. The block attribute information file includes the extracted block name information. In the CAD file, the block and the block name exist as separate layers, but only the block layer exists in the converted map, and the information of the block name layer is stored together with the block layer information in the block space data file and the block attribute data file.

After generation of the block space data file and the block attribute information data file, column number and seat number information are further extracted from the attribute information database (step 506).

In addition, a drawing object type, a seat coordinate, a column number coordinate, and a seat number coordinate of the seat are extracted from the form of a temporary file or spatial data stored in the database (step 508).

A seat space data file and a seat attribute data file are generated using the information extracted in the steps 506 and 508 (step 510). The seat space data file includes drawing object type information among the information extracted in step 508, and the seat attribute data file includes information extracted in step 506 and coordinate information thereof. Accordingly, only the seat layer including the seat space data file and the seat attribute data file exists in the converted map, and the information of the seat number layer and the column number layer of the CAD file is included in the seat layer of the converted map.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of providing a seat reservation service using a map according to the present invention.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a case where a user purchases a ticket through the web. As described above, in addition to the above case, the map according to the present invention may be used when a salesperson sells a ticket at a ticket office or the like. In case it will not be significantly different from the procedure of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, a web server providing a seat reservation service receives seat reservation request information of a specific venue from a user (step 700). The user may request a seat reservation through an interface of a web page provided by the web server.

In response to the user's seat reservation request, the web server transmits map data of the requested venue (step 702). The user client is preinstalled with a GIS engine capable of drawing a map generated by the method according to the present invention, and the GIS engine draws the received map data. As mentioned above, the GIS engine may be installed on the user client in the form of ActiveX controls. As described above, the library information for the operation of the GIS engine may be installed together with the GIS engine.

The user may request to enlarge, reduce or move the map in order to examine the provided venue map in detail (step 704). In particular, in the case of a large performance venue such as a comprehensive sports ground, it is often impossible to display all the maps on one screen, such a request may be made by the user.

When there is a map zoom / move request, the GIS engine installed in the client redraws the map according to the request information (step 706). A method of redrawing the map according to a request such as shrinking or moving the map will be described with a separate drawing.

The user requests a search for seat reservation (708), and the GIS engine performs the search using the attribute information. For example, the user may request a search for an R-seat seat, and the GIS engine extracts an object of the seat corresponding to the R-seat.

When the search is complete, the search results are displayed on the map (step 710). For example, the seat set to R seats may display the search results by displaying in blue. R-seat seat number can be provided as text, without displaying the search results graphically

The user selects a particular seat using the search results and requests a reservation for the selected seat (step 714). The coordinates corresponding to the seat selected by the user are transmitted to the web server, and a reservation for the seat corresponding to the coordinate information is processed, and the information indicating that the seat is reserved is updated (step 716).

When the seat reservation is made as shown in FIG. 7, when a ticket is reserved for a large venue such as a general sports ground, the user can freely enlarge, reduce, and move the map, so that the user can look at the seat of the venue more accurately than the conventional image file map is provided. I can figure it out.

In addition, since the map is drawn through the GIS engine and attribute information is extracted, it is easy to search for a desired seat, and there is an advantage in that it is easy to extract an object on the map and attribute information related thereto.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a processing process when a request to enlarge / reduce a map according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is performed.

8 is a flowchart of a processing procedure when a user requests an enlargement / reduction of a map for booking a seat on the web, or a salesperson requests an enlargement / reduction of a map for a ticket at a ticket office or the like.

When the seat reservation service is provided on the web, the procedure of FIG. 8 may be performed by a GIS engine installed in the form of ActiveX control, etc. on the client, and in the case of a sales device used at the ticket office, the GIS preloaded in the memory The procedure of FIG. 8 may be performed by the engine program.

Referring to FIG. 8, when a map zoom request is made through an interface of a web page or an interface of a terminal, the GIS engine receives corresponding zoom request information (step 800).

Upon receiving the enlargement / reduction request information, the enlargement or reduction ratio information is extracted from the request information (step 802).

The zoom request is made based on a specific point of the map as a reference coordinate, and the reference coordinate of the map currently displayed on the user client or terminal is updated with the reference coordinate of the map to be enlarged or reduced (step 804).

The object for each layer in the range is extracted according to the enlargement or reduction ratio based on the updated reference coordinates (step 806).

If object extraction is performed, the coordinate value information of each object is extracted (step 808), and the attribute value of each object is extracted (step 810).

The GIS engine draws the extracted objects again using the extracted coordinate information and the attribute information (step 812).

9 is a flowchart illustrating a processing process when there is a request to move a map according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In addition to the enlargement / reduction of the map, in the case of a large map such as a comprehensive playground, the user may request a request for the movement of the map, and FIG. 9 illustrates a processing procedure when such a request is made.

Referring to FIG. 9, when there is a map movement request through an interface of a web page or an interface of a terminal, corresponding map movement request information is received (operation 900).

Upon receiving the map movement request information, reference coordinate information of the map to be moved is extracted from the request information (step 902).

The reference coordinates extracted in step 902 are reference coordinates in the map displayed on the user client or the salesperson terminal, and are not the reference coordinates in the entire map, so that the reference coordinates in the entire map are updated (step 904).

The object for each layer within a preset range is extracted based on the updated reference coordinates (step 906).

If object extraction is performed, the coordinate value information of each object is extracted (step 908), and the attribute value of each object is extracted (step 910).

The GIS engine draws the extracted objects again using the extracted coordinate information and the attribute information (step 912).

10 is a diagram illustrating a processing procedure when there is a search request according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, when there is a seat search or other search request, the search request information is analyzed to select a layer related to the search target (step 1000). If there is a seat search request, a process of selecting a seat layer is performed.

When the seat layer is selected, an attribute information field related to the search is selected from among the field of attribute information of the seat layer (step 1002). For example, if there is a search request for R-seat seats, select the field for the seat class among the attribute information, and if there is a search request for seats over 5,000 won and 10,000 won, select the seat price field among the attribute information. .

When the field selection is completed, the search keyword is searched for the data of the selected field (step 1004). A search may be to search for data that matches a particular keyword (e.g., seat class search), or may be a search to extract data that falls within a certain range (e.g., to a seat that meets a certain range of prices). Search).

When the search is completed, the color setting information of the object corresponding to the search result is extracted from the file storing the setting information (step 1006). In the setting information file, when the search results are displayed on the map, color information of an object corresponding to the search results is preset. For example, when the user requests a search for the R seat, the color information is set to display the R seat of the search result in blue, and in step 1006, the set color information is extracted. Color information of the seat corresponding to the search result may be set by the user.

When the color information is extracted, a drawing object for graphically representing the search result is generated (step 1008), and a performance hall is reflected (step 1010). Here, the drawing object is a drawing object for displaying the search result graphically in the performance hall, and may be, for example, a drawing object which serves to display the R seats in blue.

By the procedure as shown in FIG. 10, the user can visually check the seat information corresponding to the search result, so that the user can easily select the desired seat as compared to the conventional method.

As described above, according to the method for generating a venue map for the reservation / sale of a theater seat according to the present invention and a method for providing a reservation service using the same, a fast time using a graphic file of a theater structure such as CAD It is possible to create a map of the venue, and because it is drawn by the Geographic Information System (GIS) engine, there is an advantage that a variety of functions can be provided.

In addition, according to the present invention, there is an advantage that the object of the theater map and the attribute information of each object can be efficiently linked by the GIS engine.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to search for desired seats and to obtain information on each seat efficiently, and through the enlargement / reduction / movement of the venue map, the seat arrangement information of the venue can be more conveniently grasped There is an advantage.
