1 is a block diagram of a system for confirming a user's movement path according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the user moving path identification system according to the present embodiment includes a GPS satellite 100, a mobile terminal 110, and a location calculation server 120.

The GPS satellite 100 carries a GPS signal on a carrier wave and transmits the GPS signal to the mobile terminal 110. At this time, the GPS satellite 100 is preferably made of at least three or more.

When receiving the GPS signal from the GPS satellite 100, the mobile terminal 110 generates the same internal signal as the received GPS signal, compares the GPS signal with the internal signal, calculates a delay time, and The distance between the GPS satellite 100 and the mobile terminal 110 is obtained by multiplying the speed of the radio wave by the calculated delay time. The distance obtained is called pseudo-range. If at least three or more pseudo distances are obtained, the error is corrected and then overlapped, the position information of the mobile terminal 110 is calculated. On the other hand, the calculation of the location information of the mobile terminal 110 may be made in the mobile terminal 110, it may be made in the location calculation server 120. When the calculation of the location information of the mobile terminal 110 is performed at the location calculation server 120, the mobile terminal 110 may further include an Assisted-Global Positioning System (A-GPS) chip.

If the location calculation server 120 calculates the location information of the mobile terminal 110, the location calculation server 120 receives the GPS signal received by the mobile terminal 110 from the mobile terminal 110. The location calculation server 120 obtains at least three pseudo distances using the GPS signal of the mobile terminal 110 and calculates location information of the mobile terminal 110.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 110 is a smart phone equipped with GPS, the GPS signal of the mobile terminal 110 is periodically stored, and the user moves to the location calculation server 120 as soon as the user uses the location-based application. The location of the terminal 110 is calculated and location information is received.

In addition, the mobile terminal 110 compares a path loaded from the memory with a moving location of the user, and compares the moving location with the loaded path, and determines whether the mobile terminal 110 deviates from a predetermined range error. As a result of this determination, an event signal is generated when it is out of the predetermined range error.

The event signal may include at least one of a control signal for transmitting an emergency message to a preset telephone number, a signal sound generating signal, or a vibration generating signal.

In addition, the location calculation server 120 may receive a GPS signal from the GPS satellite 100 and transmit available satellite location information available to the mobile terminal 110 to the mobile terminal 110. In addition, after inputting the GPS signal received from the mobile terminal 110 into the location calculation algorithm, the location information of the mobile terminal 110 can be generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 110.

2 is a block diagram of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile terminal according to the present exemplary embodiment includes a receiver 200, a controller 210, a memory 220, a transmitter 230, and a signal generator 240.

The receiver 200 receives a GPS signal from the GPS satellite 100 and stores the GPS signal in the memory unit 220 under the control of the controller 210. When the location calculation server 120 calculates the location of the mobile terminal 110, the receiver 200 transmits the received GPS signal to the transmitter 230 to transmit the location to the location calculation server 120.

The controller 210 compares a path loaded from the memory unit 220 with a moving location of the user, and compares the moving location with the loaded path, and determines whether the deviation is within a certain range error. In this case, the movement position of the user may be calculated by the controller 210 in real time using a GPS signal, or may be calculated by the position calculation server 120 and transmitted to the receiver 200.

As a result of the determination of the controller 210, when the deviation is out of the predetermined range error, a control signal for generating an event signal is transmitted to the signal generator 240.

The memory unit 220 stores a GPS signal received by the receiver 200 or a path from a starting position to be moved to a target position.

The transmitter 230 transmits the GPS signal stored in the memory 220 to the position calculation server 120 under the control of the controller 210.

When the signal generator 240 receives a control signal from the controller 210, the signal generator 240 generates an event signal. The event signal may include at least one of a control signal for transmitting an emergency message to a preset telephone number, a signal sound generating signal, or a vibration generating signal.

3 is a view illustrating a signal flow generated in a user moving path identification system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In step 310, the GPS satellite 100 transmits a GPS signal to the mobile terminal 110.

In step 320, the mobile terminal 110 transmits the received GPS signal to the location calculation server 120. In this case, the GPS signal transmitted by the mobile terminal 110 is preferably at least three or more, and when the mobile terminal 110 performs the position calculation directly, it will not be necessary to transmit the GPS signal to the location calculation server 120. .

In step 330, the location calculation server 120 calculates location information of the mobile terminal 110 based on the received GPS signal.

In step 340, the location calculation server 120 transmits the calculated location information of the mobile terminal 110 to the mobile terminal 110.

In operation 350, the mobile terminal 110 compares the movement path stored in the memory unit 220 with the location information of the received mobile terminal 110. When comparing the moving path and the location information, a location-based service, for example, a global positioning system (GPS) and a geographic information system (GIS) may be used.

In step 360, the mobile terminal 110 generates an event signal when the difference between the movement path stored in the memory unit 220 and the location information of the received mobile terminal 110 is out of a certain error range in step 350. .

Referring to FIG. 4, the method for identifying a user's movement path according to the present embodiment includes steps processed in time series in the mobile terminal illustrated in FIG. 2. Therefore, even if omitted below, the above description of the mobile terminal illustrated in FIG. 2 is applied to the user moving path identification method according to the present embodiment.

In step 400, the mobile terminal loads a movement path from the starting position to which the user wants to move to the target position.

In step 410, the mobile terminal compares the loaded route with a user's moving position in real time. In this case, the moving position of the user may be received from the position calculation server 120 performing the position calculating algorithm, or the moving position of the user may be calculated in the mobile terminal 110.

In step 420, the mobile terminal determines whether the loaded path and the user's moving position are within a certain range of error. As a result of the determination, if the error is within a certain range, the process proceeds to step 410 and the user's movement position is compared with the loaded path at the next determination time.

In step 430, the mobile terminal generates an event signal.

When the moving position of the user deviates by more than a predetermined distance from the loaded route, the emergency message may be transmitted to the preset telephone number. The emergency message may include latitude or longitude information of the movement position. The additional event signal may be generated when the moving position does not return to the loaded path within a predetermined time in a state where the moving position deviates from the loaded path by more than a predetermined distance.

In addition, when the moving position deviates by more than a predetermined distance from the loaded route, an emergency message may be automatically transmitted to a telephone number corresponding to the terminal closest to the moving position from a previously stored telephone number list.

The event signal may be generated even when the movement position of the user is not received, and the event signal may be a signal for transmitting the most recently received movement position to a preset telephone number. In this case, the most recently received movement position is latitude information and longitude information. In addition, the event signal may be a signal sound or a vibration generating signal.
