Description

Path providing method of mobile communication terminal and system thereof {MOBILE NAVIGATING METHOD AND A SYSTEM THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a method and a system for generating a path for mutual encounter between users having a mobile communication terminal capable of generating location information, such as a smart phone, and providing it to the corresponding terminal. In other words, by using a location function built into a mobile communication terminal such as a smart phone possessed by the user, the location of the mobile communication terminal of the other party to be met or the location set by the user or the other party is set as a destination. The present invention relates to a path providing method and a system for sharing movement information between users such as a moving path and a real-time location.

Mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones and tablet PCs are becoming common. In addition, recently, location based services (LBS) of a user using a location information generation function including a GPS (Global Positioning Service) embedded in a mobile communication terminal such as a smart phone have been introduced in various ways.

Social workers are actively meeting each other for various purposes, such as business or fellowship, and vehicle navigation, which provides a route to a specific destination to meet meeting parties, has become popular. In navigation, you can usually search for a specific address, the name of a store, or the destination you want to go to, and some restaurants can only search by phone number.

In addition, by using the application stored in the mobile communication terminal it is possible to query in real time the operating information of the public transport, such as subways and buses.

Conventionally, when a user wants to move by car for meeting with a counterpart, navigation is used. When searching for a specific destination on the navigation, the same building name or store name is inconvenient. Even if the same store name is clearly distinguished (for example, if it is divided into Seoul and Busan), you can fortunately know the desired area so that you can select the store you want immediately. In some cases (for example, Lotteria, which is located in Hyehwa-dong, for example), it was difficult to distinguish which store they wanted.

In order to alleviate this inconvenience, a method of searching by phone number of a store or a building has appeared, but the user must check the phone number of the store where the other party wants to meet and inform the user separately, or the user searches for the phone number of the building by herself. Discomfort still remains. In addition, there is a weakness in the amount of information because the telephone numbers of all buildings and specific features of the country do not exist.

On the other hand, when moving by public transport as described above, but can be helped by the mobile communication terminal to inform the train or subway operation information, but generally consisting of only one means of transportation, from stop to stop It only provides traffic information and excludes access from the current location to the stop or from the stop to the destination. The route to reach the destination is not the inconvenience that the other party must inform the user by phone call. It exists at all times.

Path providing method according to the present invention for achieving the above object,
a) the route providing system receiving, from the user terminal, location information set by the user terminal and information designating one or more specific counterpart terminals;
b) the route providing system transmitting the identification information of the user to the counterpart terminal designated by the user terminal,
c) receiving, by the route providing system, the location information set by the counterpart terminal from the counterpart terminal,
d) generating, by the route providing system, a movement route from the user terminal position or the counterpart terminal position to the user terminal setting position or the counterpart terminal setting position, including one or more transportation means and providing the same to the user terminal or the counterpart terminal,
e) the path providing system, one or more user terminals that designate a specific terminal as the same counterpart terminal and movement information of each terminal received from the counterpart terminal, or one or more counterpart terminals and user terminals designated by the user terminal. Allowing each user terminal and the other terminal to share movement information with each other,
And a control unit.

In addition, the path providing system according to the present invention for achieving the above object, and transmits and receives necessary information with the user terminal and its counterpart terminal, a third party designated by the user terminal or the counterpart terminal at the request of the user terminal or the counterpart terminal Interface unit for transmitting the movement information of the user terminal or the other terminal to the terminal,
When a movement path including at least one vehicle is generated from a location of a user terminal or a counterpart terminal to a location set by the user terminal or the counterpart terminal, and receiving information on whether to stop providing location information from the user terminal or the counterpart terminal, Determines whether to stop providing mobile information of a terminal, and receives movement information of one or more user terminals designated as a specific terminal as the same counterpart terminal and each terminal received from the other terminal, or from one or more counterpart terminals and user terminals designated by the user terminal. A mobile information support unit for supporting sharing of mobile information of each terminal to be shared between each user terminal and the other terminal;
And a memory unit for storing the ID and the location setting information of the user terminal and the counterpart terminal information formed in a single or group corresponding to the user terminal.

According to the present invention, even if the counterpart and the user do not explain the location of the destination, the path for mutual movement can be generated and provided to the corresponding terminal based on the location information of the mobile communication terminal which the users have. That is, the location set in the user's mobile communication terminal is set as a destination to enhance the user's convenience. The user can automatically inform the user's location based on the location information embedded in the user's terminal without suffering the existing inconvenience of describing his location anywhere, and can easily provide the access path to the other party. .
In addition, even if the same building name exists in the same area, it is possible to visit the desired partner without confusion.

In addition, the user may set a third location that he knows as a destination, not his terminal location, and provide a movement route to the other party.

In addition, the other party is provided with information on the route and estimated time required to travel to the user's location through a vehicle, bus, subway, or a walking vehicle of his choice. By walking along the >> such as being provided with a movement path combined with one or more means of transportation (bus + walk) has the effect of improving convenience.

In addition, when providing a route to the other party, the route information can be provided to the user's terminal, the other party's terminal, and both sides based on the mutually recognized position, and not to provide the route to only one side. Mutual accessibility is increased.

For example, when the child or woman is late at home, the return route, real-time location, and estimated time of arrival can be found in the house.

In addition, since the mobile information of each user can be shared with multiple counterparts at the same time, peace of mind and mutual convenience are enhanced.

In addition, after the movement of one side is started, each party can be notified of each other's real-time location, route, and estimated arrival time which are mutually moving, thereby allowing a more relaxed meeting.

In addition, it is possible to exchange contents such as messenger and music while moving, so that the friendship between users is strengthened.

In addition, even when several users want to move to a third place as a group, if the real-time location of the leader's terminal is set as the destination, even if the group movement flow is dispersed by traffic signals or congestion, the leader's location is continuously updated to provide a route. Therefore, several users can move together to the desired destination without error.

In addition, the generated path and access information are displayed differently, such as various multimedia display methods such as images, holograms, vibrations, etc. including augmented reality, or electromagnetic display methods such as Bluetooth, so that the path information can be more clearly and conveniently recognized.

In addition, even when the user moves while meeting, the user may delete the moving path provided to the other party when the situation where the other party becomes unnecessary or the user wants to stop access can maintain personal security according to the user's intention change.

In addition, at least one counterpart terminal and the user terminal support the mutual exchange of contents including a messenger including a voice, a video, and a text, and a music and a video.

Hereinafter, a detailed flow of a path providing method of the path providing system 10 according to the present invention will be described step by step with reference to FIG. 3.

The path providing method according to the present embodiment is performed by the path providing system 10 described above. First, the system 10 receives location information including the ID of the user terminal 100 from the user terminal 100 and information to which the user terminal 100 designates one or more specific counterpart terminals (S310). That is, the ID of a specific counterpart terminal designated by the user terminal 100 together with the unique ID (telephone number, member ID) of the user terminal 100 and the location information of the user terminal 100 from the user terminal 100. Receive.

The system 10 retrieves the ID transmitted from the user terminal 100 from the system memory unit 13, a separate DB such as a communication company / real name authentication server, or the phonebook information stored in the user terminal 100 to search for the user. Identifying the identity, and notifies the counterpart terminal 101 that the location information request has been received from the identified specific user (S320), and requests the counterpart terminal 101 to transmit the location information. When identification of the user identity is unnecessary, only the ID (phone number or member ID, etc.) of the user may be informed to the counterpart terminal 101.

The location information according to the present invention may be location information generated by the mobile communication terminal, and may be a third other location designated by a user. For example, a GPS (Global Positioning Service) -based recent location or a wired / wireless IP (Internet Protocol) address-based location or a wireless access point (AP) address-based location or a mobile communication base station that the mobile communication terminal grasps and sets. cell) based location, or any location created based on triangulation, radio wave strength, or direction, and can be set by the user in an electronic map, in an administrative area, or by searching for a specific place name. It may be a position to.

Upon receiving the request of the system 10, the counterpart terminal 101 receives input from a user whether to transmit location information such as GPS or sets a third place, and transmits the corresponding location information to the system 10. That is, the system 10 receives the location information set by the other terminal from the other terminal (S330). Thereafter, the system 10 may continuously receive the location information from the user terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal 101, and the period may be continuous in real time or whenever a predetermined time elapses, or from a previous location. Each time a distance or more than a predetermined distance is detected, or may be set to an arbitrary time point transmitted by the user terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal 101.

The system 10 having received the position set by the counterpart terminal 101 waits for reception of a moving request means from a user to generate a path, and the moving desired means is previously determined by a predetermined application program. The type of moving means may be mounted in the system, or the system 10 may generate a path for each moving means and recommends it to the user terminal 100 and allows the user to select a moving desired means. The user selects a moving means that the user wants to move in the user terminal 100, and the system receives the selection details (S340). Conversely to the above step, the system 10 may receive the movement desired means from the counterpart terminal 101 rather than the user terminal 100. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a movement route to any one of both sides, or both.

Subsequently, the system 10 generates a path to the user terminal 100 setting position or the other terminal 101 setting position based on the movement desired means transmitted from the user terminal 100 or the counterpart terminal 101 ( S350).

Subsequently, the system 10 transmits to the counterpart terminal 101 the real time location and the path of the user terminal 100 moving toward the destination to the counterpart terminal 101 at predetermined intervals or in real time, or whenever the counterpart inquires. It transmits (S360). Or, conversely, the real time location and the path of the counterpart terminal 101 moving toward the destination are transmitted to the user terminal 100 to the user terminal 100 at predetermined intervals or in real time or whenever the user inquires ( S360). When providing the real-time location and path to the user terminal 100 or the counterpart terminal 101, the movement information support unit 12 of the system 10, as described above, the movement information of each user, that is, the elapsed time of movement, The distance traveled, the remaining time of arrival to the destination, the remaining distance, the estimated time of arrival, the real-time location and the movement route may be provided together.
If the system 10 receives the movement desired means details from the user terminal 100 (S340) and generates the path to the destination (S350) with reference to <Fig. 4> as an example, the system ( 10) present a means of transportation such as a car, a walk, a bus, a subway, a taxi to the user, or present in advance in an application program (S410), and receives the desired means of movement desired from the user terminal 100 (S420) In operation S430, a movement path based on the moving means is generated. For example, when the movement desired means selected by the user terminal 100 is a car, a movement route is generated from the current position to the destination. In addition, for example, when the means of transportation selected by the user terminal 100 is public transportation, call or receive operation information on the vehicle from an external database (for example, a bus service information DB of Seoul, a traffic communication information system, etc.). After that, a route to a destination based on the desired movement means may be generated. If the user terminal 100 has selected public transportation, the system 10 may create a route by combining additional means of transportation in addition to the public transportation. For example, when the user terminal 100 selects a bus, the bus moves to the bus No. 00 to point A, and then to the subway station B to reflect the traffic congestion, and the first kilometer to the final destination is on foot. The generation of is possible.

Means of transportation according to the present invention are general public transportation such as intercity / city / town buses, subways, trains, taxis, airplanes, inland transportation means such as walking, bicycles, passenger cars, and water / air transportation means such as boats and aircrafts. It includes all means of transportation. The route generated according to the present invention is characterized in that it is generated by combining one or more moving means including a user desired moving means. That is, the route may be generated by reflecting only the movement means designated by the user, or when the mutual movement is not possible with only one movement means, the route may be generated by combining the other movement means.

If the vehicle does not need to call an external driving information database such as a public transportation network such as walking, it is of course possible to create a route directly in the system 10.

Each means of transportation can be selected by the user and the system 10 can combine the best means of transportation to recommend to the user.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the system 10 generates and displays a route to a destination in combination with other moving means when the user terminal 100 selects 'bus' as a moving desired means. That is, even if the user selects only the transportation means as a bus, the system 10 may generate a route by additionally combining walking paths because the user cannot move to the destination only by bus, and FIG. 5 illustrates an example. Illustrated.

While moving to the location set by the other terminal 101, the other party's mind or situation may change and may deny access. Referring to FIG. 6, the system 10 may determine that the user terminal 100 has been denied access. If the other terminal 101 receives a request for canceling the location information while moving toward the location set by the other terminal 101 (S655), the other terminal 101 provided to the user terminal 100 returns to the location set by the other terminal 101. The path up to is deleted (S665), and the path display ends. If the reverse path is provided to the counterpart terminal 101, the path provided to the counterpart terminal 101 is deleted at the request of the user terminal 100.

However, even if the user terminal 100 is moving toward the other terminal 101 setting position, the setting position of the other terminal 101 may be changed. Referring to FIG. When receiving the change information of the location information more than a predetermined distance from the terminal 101 (S735) and receives the location information of the user terminal 100 again (S740), the user terminal 100 calls the existing mobile desired means information selected or The new vehicle selection history is received (S750), and the path from the current position of the user terminal 100 to the other party's position is regenerated and provided (S760). Conversely, when the counterpart terminal 101 moves toward the user terminal 100, the above method is applied in reverse. In addition, even when the user terminal 100 moves to the destination of the user terminal setting position and the destination terminal 101 to the destination terminal setting position as a destination, when the user terminal 100 deviates by a predetermined distance or more from the previously generated movement path as described above. Of course, the path can be regenerated.

The location information update period of the counterpart terminal 101 according to the present invention may be transmitted continuously by the counterpart terminal 101 in real time, and may be transmitted at regular intervals or whenever a distance is separated by a predetermined distance from a previously transmitted location. Alternatively, the other party may randomly transmit. In this way, even when the location of the counterpart terminal 101 is changed, the system 10 can accurately generate and provide a path to the counterpart to the user in real time. Conversely, when the location of the user terminal 100 is displayed to the counterpart terminal 101, the location of the user terminal 100 may be displayed according to the update cycle as described above.

Movement information including the real-time location and the movement path of the user terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal 101 according to the present invention may be transmitted to a third party terminal designated by the user or the counterpart. And share each piece of mobile information with each other. That is, the mobile terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal 101 and third party terminals designated by the user terminal 100 or the counterpart terminal 101 may share mutual movement information with each other.

When the user terminal 100 and the other terminal 101 approaches within a certain distance, the system 10 displays a destination arrival notification message to the mutual terminals.

In the implementation of each of the above steps, if the mutual order is changed and does not affect the result of the present invention, the order may be changed and it is obvious that it is included in the scope of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the path providing terminal 100 will be referred to as a user terminal for convenience. The user terminal 100 communicates with the counterpart terminal 101 to have a meeting through wired or wireless communication.

First, the user terminal 100 receives an ID (phone number or other ID, etc.) of the counterpart terminal 101 from the user (S110), and requests the counterpart terminal 101 to transmit location information (S120).

The location information according to the present invention may be location information determined and set by the mobile communication terminal, or may be another location designated by a user.

Upon receiving the location information transmission request from the user terminal 100, the counterpart terminal 101 receives input from the user whether to transmit location information such as GPS or sets a third place, and transmits the corresponding location information to the user terminal 100. send.

The other terminal 101 may be requested to transmit the location information from the user terminal 100 as described above, and return the location information, even if there is no request for transmission from the user terminal 100 as described above. You can also send your location information immediately.

The user terminal 100 may include a predetermined user identification step so that the other party can identify the user, and the user identification step may include a predetermined intermediate server DB, a communication company / real name authentication company DB, or a user or counterpart terminal ( It is characterized in that the identification of the user (real name, nickname, etc.) is provided by searching in the telephone book list stored in 100, 101, and the like. When identification of the user identity is unnecessary, only the ID (phone number or other ID, etc.) of the user may be informed to the counterpart terminal 101.

The user terminal 100 receives setting position information of the counterpart terminal 101 transmitted from the counterpart terminal 101 (S130), and generates location information of the user terminal 100 (S140). The location information may be a recent location based on a GPS (Global Positioning Service), a location based on a wired / wireless IP address, a location based on an access point (AP) address, or a cell location based on a mobile communication device, Or it may be generated from a position generated based on the triangulation, the radio wave strength or the direction, or a position arbitrarily input by the user or the other party. Thereafter, the user terminal 100 may continuously receive the location information from the counterpart terminal 101, and the cycle may be continuously performed in real time or each time a predetermined time elapses, or a distance of a predetermined distance or more from the previous location is determined. Each time it is detected, or may be set to an arbitrary point of time transmitted from the counterpart terminal 101.

In addition, the user terminal 100 displays a moving means for accessing the setting of the counterpart terminal 101 transmitted from the counterpart terminal 101 from the current position to the user, and receives information for selecting a specific moving desired means from the user. (S150).

Subsequently, the user terminal 100 sets the location transmitted by the counterpart terminal 101 as a destination, generates a path based on the moving means selected by the user, and displays the path on the user terminal 100 (S160).

In addition, the user terminal 100 transmits the real time location and the path moving toward the destination to the counterpart terminal 101 at predetermined intervals or in real time (S170).

Referring to FIG. 12, an exemplary embodiment of the step of receiving the user's desired movement means from the user (S150) and generating a path to the counterpart (S160) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 12. Presenting a means of transportation such as a car, walk, bus, subway, taxi (S122), receives the desired means of movement desired from the user (S124), and generates a movement route based on the desired means of movement. For example, if the user wants to move the selected vehicle means to create a moving path from the current position to the destination. For example, if the user selects the means of transportation selected by public transportation, after calling or receiving driving information about the vehicle from an external database (for example, a bus service information DB of Seoul, a traffic communication information system, etc.) (S126). ), It is possible to generate a route to a destination based on the movement desired means. If the user selects public transportation, the user terminal 100 may generate a route by combining additional means of transportation in addition to the public transportation. For example, if the user selects a bus, the bus can be moved to point A to 00, then to subway B to reflect the traffic congestion, and a kilometer to the final destination can be created on foot. Do.

Means of transportation according to the present invention are general public transportation such as intercity / city / town buses, subways, trains, taxis, airplanes, inland transportation means such as walking, bicycles, passenger cars, and water / air transportation means such as boats and aircrafts. It includes all means of transportation. The route generated according to the present invention is characterized in that it is generated by combining one or more moving means including a user desired moving means. That is, the route may be generated by reflecting only the movement means designated by the user, or when the mutual movement is not possible with only one movement means, the route may be generated by combining the other movement means.

If the vehicle does not need to call an external driving information database such as a public transportation network such as walking, of course, the user terminal 100 may generate a route directly.

Each means of transportation may be selected by the user, and the user terminal 100 may recommend the user by combining the optimal means of movement.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the user terminal 100 combines one or more moving means. Each of the means of transportation may be selected by the user, and the user terminal 100 may combine the optimum means of movement and recommend it to the user. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the user terminal 100 generates and displays a route to a destination in combination with other moving means when the user terminal 100 selects 'bus' as a moving desired means. . That is, even if the user selects only the bus as the 'bus', the user terminal 100 may generate a path by further combining the walking path since the user cannot move to the destination only by the bus.

While moving to the position set by the counterpart terminal 101, the mind or situation of the counterpart may be changed to deny access. Referring to FIG. 6, the user terminal 100 may correspond to the counterpart terminal 101. When the location information cancellation request is received from the counterpart terminal 101 while moving toward the set position (S655), the path to the counterpart terminal 101 set position provided to the user terminal 100 is deleted (S665). ) And end the route display.

However, even when the user terminal 100 is moving toward the other terminal 101 setting position, the other terminal 101 setting position may be changed. Referring to FIG. 7, the user terminal 100 may correspond to the other party. When receiving the change information of the location information more than a predetermined distance from the terminal 101 (S735), the location information of the user terminal 100 is reset (S740), and the existing mobile desired means information selected by the user terminal 100 is called or new. Receiving the selection means of the means of transportation (S750), the path from the current position of the user terminal 100 to the other terminal 101 setting position is regenerated and provided to the user (S760).

The location information update period of the counterpart terminal 101 according to the present invention may be continuously transmitted in real time by the counterpart terminal 101 or the route guidance server system 10, and may be fixed at a predetermined period or from a location previously transmitted. Whenever the distance is more than the distance may be transmitted, the other terminal 101 or the route guidance server system 10 may be transmitted arbitrarily. Even when the setting of the counterpart terminal 101 is changed, the user terminal 100 can accurately generate and provide a path to a destination in real time to the user in the same manner.

The real-time location and movement path of the user terminal 100 and the counterpart terminal 101 according to the present invention may be transmitted to a third party designated by the user or the counterpart.

When the user terminal 100 and the other terminal 101 approaches within a certain distance, the user terminal 100 displays a destination arrival notification message.

When the user terminal 100 generates and displays a route or displays a predetermined alarm, the user terminal 100 outputs the route using a predetermined display method. That is, multimedia display such as image display including two-dimensional and three-dimensional display, predetermined vibration generation, high brightness light generation, voice and other sounds using TTS (Text to Speech), and specific current / frequency / radio wave generation. And an electromagnetic expression method.

In the implementation of each of the above steps, if the mutual order is changed and does not affect the result of the present invention, the order may be changed and it is obvious that it is included in the scope of the present invention.

In this way, the user can be provided with an access route to the destination.
