Description

Personalized travel guidebook providing system and method thereof {SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PERSONALIZED TRAVEL GUIDEBOOK}

The present invention relates to a system for providing a personalized travel guidebook and a method thereof, and in detail, to produce a personalized travel guidebook using various contents including travel information collected and collected by a user, and to produce a personalized travel guidebook. The present invention relates to a personalized travel guidebook providing system and method for converting a travel guidebook into a document file that can be read by a communication terminal and providing the same to a user through the communication terminal.

In general, travelers mainly use travel guidebooks to obtain travel information of the area they want to travel to. These travel guidebooks are booklets that collect and organize information that the author has experienced directly or indirectly about the destination. Usually, the collected information is printed out, printed with the relevant photographs, and then printed and bundled together.

However, since the travel information in most travel guidebooks tends to reflect the subjective thoughts of the author who wrote the guidebook, the contents are fixed to the personality and taste of the author to satisfy the needs of travelers with various personalities and tastes. There was a limit to. Moreover, if one travel guide does not contain the travel information that the traveler wants, it is inconvenient because it requires a separate purchase of a separate guidebook, and it is inconvenient to carry several guidebooks while traveling. It was caused.

Accordingly, technologies for providing personalized travel information providing travel information (scheduling) according to travelers' personalities and tastes have been proposed. For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0073253 (published date: July 13, 2005), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0065581 (published: 2009. 06. 23), Republic of Korea Patent Publication 10-2011 -0004578 (published date: January 14, 2011), Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0000747 (published: 2009. 01. 08) has been proposed.

In the above prior arts, the time required for the travel preparation by the traveler is automatically generated by automatically generating the schedule, the map, the route of visit, and the guidebook necessary for the preparation of the trip based on the desired destination and the schedule selected by the traveler. It helped me reduce my effort and help me prepare for a better trip.

However, in the above-described prior arts, a travel agency receives traveler information including a travel destination and a schedule from a traveler, and the trip is matched with the traveler information among the information registered in the travel agency's server (homepage) based on the traveler information. Since the information is generated and provided to the traveler, the travel information provided to the traveler can not only be limited to the information registered in the server of the travel agency.

Accordingly, since a guidebook produced uniformly based on the travel information registered in the travel agency's server is provided to the traveler, there is still a limit in fully reflecting the traveler's personality and taste. Moreover, since travel agencies produce and distribute guidebooks in consideration of profitability, it is still a problem because guidebooks containing a large amount of travel information that emphasizes commercial aspects are produced rather than beneficial information necessary for travelers.

In addition, in the above-mentioned prior arts, since the guidebook generated based on the tourist information is printed and distributed to the traveler in the form of a booklet, there has been inconvenience in use such that the traveler should always carry the guidebook while traveling. In order to solve this inconvenience, the guidebook is registered on the server so that the traveler can access the guidebook through the communication terminal owned by the traveler, but in this case, a separate communication fee is incurred and the Internet communication When traveling to this difficult place, problems such as being unable to provide information because the connection to the travel agency server is not possible at the source, have occurred.
