FIG. 2 schematically shows the structure of an exhibition facility, in which an inlet 10 and an outlet 20 are provided, and booths A1 to A5 of each individual company are installed therein.

The transmission means 50 is installed in each individual company's booth, and the transmission means 50 may be a WIFI signal generator, a Bluetooth transmitter, an infrared signal transmitter, or the like. It is possible to determine the position of the observer through the transmission means 50, which is measured by comparing the intensity of the signal reaching the observer's portable terminal 300 from the transmission means 50 of each booth.

That is, at least three transmission means 50 having relatively strong signals are screened out, and the position is measured with the strength of the transmission signal transmitted from these transmission means 50. Specifically, it is calculated using i) the principle that the intensity of the received signal decreases at a constant rate with distance, and ii) the principle of triangulation.

For example, assuming that there are multiple signal sources and that the strengths of the signals from each source are the same, the strength of the received signal can be measured with an accurate value, and the strength of the received signal is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance. The distance can be calculated from the intensity of each received signal by an arithmetic expression.

And, if there are three or more received signals and the location of each source can be known, the location of the destination (X1, the location of the mobile terminal 300) can be calculated by triangulation.

On the other hand, although not shown, the QR code is displayed in the booth of each individual company. This QR code is read by the observer's mobile terminal 300, to facilitate the reservation of the information or demonstration / consultation schedule of each individual company.

Next, a method of scheduling using the scheduling system using the mobile terminal 300 will be described with reference to the drawings.

According to this, the application is first installed in the observer's portable terminal 300. (S100) This may be installed automatically by reading the QR code installed in the entrance 10 in the course of passing through the entrance 10 of the fair. You can also download it from a trade fair web page, app store, Android market, and install it in advance.

Next, when the application is executed in the mobile terminal 300 (S200), it is possible to access the host server 100 to receive various information of the database unit 130. In this case, the visitor's information may also be stored in the database unit 130 of the host server 100.

4, the observer inputs his information into the application (S110). Observers can enter general information such as name or institution, as well as information such as personal interests. Of course, such observer's information may be provided to the individual companies, but in this case, the observer's consent process may be provided or only some information may be selectively provided.

In this case, the host server 100 matches the information of the individual companies input to the database unit 130 (S120). This is to select individual companies that match the observer's disposition (interest of interest).

When the matching is completed, the host server 100 transmits the selected recommended individual company information to the mobile terminal 300. (S130) Accordingly, the observer can obtain the information of the individual company to be visited in advance through this. Will be.

Of course, if the observer is interested in a specific booth during the exhibition, you may be provided with information by entering a separate individual company identification code. (S140) This process is based on the QR code of each individual company application QR It may be made by reading the code input means or by inputting a letter / symbol (identification code) assigned to each individual company.

Referring back to Figure 3, the observer will receive the facility information and reservation status of the individual facility (S400) This is to be provided by receiving the information of the individual companies by the identification code previously entered.

Next, when the observer wants to use the consultation corner of a specific individual company, the reservation request is made. (S500) This process is also performed through the application of the mobile terminal 300, i) an identification code such as a QR code. It can be made automatically by reading or ii) or by selecting and entering the desired time in the application according to the reservation status.

Thereafter, the reservation notification function is activated a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes before the scheduled time (S600). If the observer wants to, he can be notified of the movement to the individual company. Well illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, when a use reservation notification is operated through an application of the mobile terminal 300, the application asks whether to use a scheduled consultation.

Accordingly, when it is input that the use is to be scheduled, the application of the mobile terminal 300 determines the current position. (S700) The method is performed by the method described above.

If it is determined that the current location is determined by the application whether the map and the movement route guidance is displayed, and if you want to be displayed on the mobile terminal 300 by displaying the current location on the fair map.

For reference, the process may be configured to first determine the current location by the application, and then calculate the distance from the current location to the reserved booth of the individual company, so that the notification function may be expressed in consideration of the travel time.

If the user selects not to proceed with the use of the reservation (S600), the reservation time can be changed again. (S610) If the reservation time is changed in this process, it is transmitted to the host server 100. The reservation is made again. (S620) Of course, the reservation itself can also be cancelled.

 On the other hand, looking at the movement path guidance function in detail, as shown in Figure 6, first to determine the current position (S810) This is because the position of the mobile terminal 300 is variable as the observer moves, The judged position is judged whether the guided movement route is different (S820).

If it is determined that the deviation is determined, it is input whether to re-search the moving path. (S830) If re-search is selected, the new moving path is calculated by the application and displayed again on the mobile terminal 300. (S840)

Referring to FIG. 3 again, the visitor visits the reserved individual company's booth and consults (S900). Finally, the usage history including the consultation is stored in the host server 100. The usage history may be a counselor's evaluation or consultation contents of an observer, which is stored in the usage history unit 137 of the database unit 130.

On the other hand, when the observer who finished the visit to the outside through the exit 20, when reading the QR code installed in the exit 20, the application may be automatically deleted, or may be used to guide the use time.
