In the following description of the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for providing a user service in a user equipment capable of communicating with each other using a personal area network (PAN).

The private network may be a network using any one of Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Ultra Wide Band (UWB), and ZigBee.

The user device may be, for example, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a smart watch, a smart band, navigation, a personal digital assistant (PDA) A portable multimedia player (PMP), a tablet, a netbook, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a television (TeleVision), a head mounted display (HMD) -up Display) and other communication terminals.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a concept of a method for providing a user service according to embodiments of the present invention.

It is assumed that two user devices 200 and 300 are interlocked to provide a user service. The first user device 200 may be, for example, a wearable device such as a smart watch or a smart band. The second user device 300 may be, for example, a mobile device such as a smart phone or a tablet.

The user service may be at least one of, for example, a call service, a multimedia service, and a navigation service. In addition, the user service may be any one of various services that can be provided by the user devices 200 and 300.

When the user 100 desires to receive a specific user service, the user 100 may request the first user equipment 200 to receive the corresponding user service. The request may be a command via voice or key input (including softkeys such as icons displayed on the display).

When there is a user service provision request from the user 100, the first user equipment 200 requests the second user equipment 300 to provide the corresponding user service.

The first user equipment 200 can perform the request using various communication methods. For example, the first user device 200 may perform the request using the advertising mode of the BLE. That is, the first user equipment 300 may include a BLE beacon frame including information related to the request and broadcast the BLE beacon frame. In one embodiment, the information associated with the request includes type information of the requested user service (e.g., whether it is a call related user service or a navigation related user service) and a request content (e.g., voice recognition result) can do. According to an embodiment, the BLE beacon frame may further include at least one of a transmitter identifier and a receiver identifier.

In one embodiment, the first user equipment 200 may convert the information associated with the request into a code value and transmit the code value to the second user equipment 300. Conversion to a code value can be performed using various methods. For example, conversion to a code value can be performed using a reference lookup table that is set up

When there is a request for providing a user service from the first user equipment 200, the second user equipment 300 performs an operation for providing the corresponding user service.

For example, the second user device 300 may drive an application associated with the requested user service. The operation of the application may be performed by determining an application to be executed according to the type information of the user service included in the user service provision request and delivering the contents of the request included in the user service provision request to the determined application.

According to an embodiment, the second user device 300 may drive the application in the background or in the foreground.

During application running, the second user device 300 detects if an event related to the currently provided user service is occurring.

Detecting the occurrence of an event related to the user service means, for example, receiving event information from another device (e.g., server) associated with the second user device 300 to provide the corresponding user service can do. Alternatively, detecting that an event related to the user service is occurring may mean detecting, for example, whether an event occurs in the application related to the user service.

When the occurrence of an event related to a currently provided user service is detected, the second user equipment 300 transmits the event information to the first user equipment 200. [

In order to transmit the event information, the second user equipment 300 may convert the event information into a code value. Conversion to a code value can be performed using various methods. For example, conversion to a code value can be performed using a reference lookup table set. Conversion to code values can help reduce transmitted data, reduce traffic, and reduce power consumption.

According to an embodiment, the second user equipment 300 can transmit the event information according to a general data transmission format without converting the event information into a code value.

According to an embodiment, the second user equipment 300 may select an event to be transmitted to the first user equipment 200 among the detected events. The selection of the events to be transmitted can be made based on the preset items. The first user equipment may limit the output method and may transmit unnecessary data transmission by transmitting only the event information that can be output from the first user equipment among the detected events.

In order to transmit the event information, the second user equipment 300 may use various communication methods. For example, the second user device 300 may broadcast the event information using the advertisement mode of the BLE. That is, the second user equipment 300 may include the event information in a BLE beacon frame and broadcast it. In one embodiment, the beacon frame may include type information event information of the user service. According to an embodiment, the beacon frame may further include at least one of a transmitting apparatus identifier, a receiving apparatus identifier, and image information related to the corresponding event.

According to an embodiment, the event information may be transmitted through various communication methods using infrared rays, Wi-Fi direct rays, zigbee rays, or visible light rays.

When event information is received from the second user device 300, the first user device 200 determines data to be output in association with the event information, and outputs the determined data.

If the received event information is in the form of a code value, the first user equipment 200 transmits the event information to the second user equipment 300 using the same method as that used for converting the event information into the code value, Information can be interpreted. For example, when a lookup table is used to convert event information into a code value in the second user equipment 300, the first user equipment 200 can interpret the corresponding event information using the same lookup table.

When the event information is analyzed, the first user device 200 determines data to be output in association with the event information.

The determination of the data to be output in association with the event information may be, for example, selecting data to be output among the event information. For example, the first user device 200 may receive event information received from the second user device 300 due to the absence of the data output module or the limitation of the data output module (e.g., the size of the display) It may be insufficient to output all of them. Accordingly, the first user equipment 200 can select some of the event information received from the second user equipment 300 as data to be output. Such a determination can be made with reference to predetermined items.

The determination of the data to be output in association with the event information may be, for example, determining the format of the data to be output. For example, it may be to determine whether to output the event information in the form of video, audio, vibration and light. Such a determination can be made with reference to predetermined items.

On the other hand, the request to receive the user service can be made while the application for the specific user service is being driven. For example, in a state where an application related to a navigation service is running, the user 100 may request the first user equipment 200 to perform path rediscovery, route guidance termination, or the like. The request is delivered to the second user equipment 300, and the second user equipment 300 can forward the request to the currently executing application. Accordingly, the application can perform an operation related to the request and detect the occurrence of an event.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a user service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2, an example of providing a navigation service using the smartwatch 200 and the smartphone 300 will be described.

In step 201, the smartwatch 200 analyzes the command input from the user and proceeds to step 203 if it is determined that there is a request to execute the navigation service.

The command input from the user may be command via voice or key input (including soft keys such as icons displayed on the display). If the command is a command via voice input, the smartwatch 200 can perform voice recognition for the command.

The voice recognition may be performed in the smartwheel 200 itself or through data exchange with a server. The smart phone 300 can be a medium when exchanging data with the server. For example, the smartwatch 200 may transmit an inputted voice command to the smartphone 300, and the smartphone 300 may transmit the command to the voice recognition server. Then, the smartphone 300 can transmit the voice recognition result received from the voice recognition server to the smartwatch 200. The smartwatch 200 can guide the user to the voice recognition result received from the smartphone 300. [

In step 203, the smartwatch 200 performs a navigation execution request to the smartphone 300. [ In one embodiment, the request may be made using a BLE beacon frame. The BLE beacon frame may include the type information of the requested user service and the content of the request.

In step 205, the smartphone 300 drives an application for the navigation service. The application may be run in the background.

At step 207, the smartphone 300 provides a navigation service through continuous information exchange with the server 400. [

When the smartphone 300 has a built-in database for the navigation service in the smartphone 300, the smartphone 300 uses a database of its own, instead of carrying out information exchange with the server 400, . ≪ / RTI >

In step 209, the smartphone 300 detects occurrence of an event. When the navigation service is provided through exchange of information with the server 400, detecting the occurrence of an event may be receiving event information related to the navigation service from the server 400.

The event may be, for example, related to route guidance. For example, the event may be related to a route guidance start, a route guidance end, a route reset, an obstacle, a traffic signal, a traffic situation, and an interruption point.

In step 211, the smartphone 300 converts the event information received from the server 400 into a code value. The conversion into the code value can be performed by referring to the set lookup table. Table 1 shows an example of the lookup table.

Code Event 0x01 500 meters straight ahead 0x02 500 m turn left 0x03 Turn right 500 meters 0x04 500 meters ahead U-turn 0x05 Go straight 100 meters 0x06 Turn left 100 meters ... ... 0xFE 100 meter forward speed section 0xFF 100 meters forward strand

For example, if the current event is an event notifying that the currently generated event should be turned 500m ahead, the smartphone 300 refers to the lookup table as shown in Table 1 and stores the corresponding event information as a code value 0x02 ). ≪ / RTI >

In step 213, the smartphone 300 transmits the event information converted into the code value to the smartwatch 200. [ The event information may be transmitted using a BLE beacon frame.

In step 215, the smartwatch 200 interprets the code values received from the smartphone 300 and determines the data to be output.

The interpretation of the code value may be performed by referring to the set lookup table. That is, the smartwatch 200 can interpret the code value using the lookup table that is the same as the lookup table used for converting the event information into the code value in the smartphone 300.

When the code value is interpreted, the SmartWatch 200 determines the data to be output. The determination of the data to be output may include at least one of an operation of sorting data to be output among the analyzed event information and an operation of determining an output format of data to be output, for example. For example, the smartwatch 200 can select data to be output from the analyzed event information, and determine the output format of the selected data.

In step 217, the smartwatch 200 outputs event information based on the determination in step 215. [

In step 219, the smartwatch 200 determines whether there is a navigation service termination request from the user, and proceeds to step 221 if it is determined that there is a request to terminate the navigation service.

At step 223, the smartwatch 200 transmits a navigation service termination request to the smartphone 300. The request may also be made using a BLE beacon frame.

In step 225, the smartphone 300 terminates the navigation service. To terminate the navigation service may mean, for example, termination of the currently running navigation service related application.

3 to 5 are diagrams for explaining a method of providing a user service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3 to 5, it is assumed that the navigation service-related application operates in the foreground in the smartphone 300 for the sake of convenience. However, as described above, the application may operate in the background, as described above. Thus, the display of the smartphone 300 may be off.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a case where a navigation related application is firstly activated in the smartphone 300 according to a request of the smartwatch 200 to start route guidance. Referring to FIG. 3, the smartphone 300 displays route information including a message for route guidance, time and distance, and a map including a feature on the route.

The start of route guidance may mean that an event called route guidance start has occurred. Accordingly, the smartphone 300 can transmit the corresponding event information to the smartwatch 200. [ Upon transmission of the event information, the smartphone 300 can convert the event information into a code value with reference to the set lookup table.

The smartwatch 200 receiving the event information converted into the code value can display the event information by analyzing the code value. FIG. 3 shows an example in which event information including time and distance is displayed as an example.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which an event related to route guidance occurs during navigation of a navigation-related application. For example, when an event indicating that a left turn should be made 500 meters ahead occurs, the smartphone 300 may convert the event information into a code value and transmit the converted code value to the smart watch 200.

The smartwatch 200 can interpret the received code value and display the event information. In Fig. 4, as an example, event information including direction and distance is displayed.

Fig. 5 shows an example in which an event of route guidance end occurs during driving of the navigation-related application. For example, when an event notifying that a user has arrived at a destination has occurred, the smartphone 300 may convert the event information into a code value and transmit the code value to the smart watch 200.

The smartwatch 200 can interpret the received code value and display the event information. In Fig. 5, as an example, a message is displayed to indicate that the destination has arrived.

On the other hand, the output of the event information can be performed by using various types of output methods that can be supported by the user equipment instead of the video output using the display. This will be described with reference to Figs. 6 (a) and 6 (b).

6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining an event information output format according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The first user device 200 may have at least one LED 202a, 202b, 202c, 202d for light output, as shown in Figure 6 (a). In this case, the first user device 200 may output the event information using the LEDs 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d. For example, if the interpreted event information is an event indicating that the event information should be left 500m ahead, the first user device 200 may keep the LED 202a on or flash it.

The blinking period of the LED 202a may vary depending on the event information. For example, when the left turn must be made 100m ahead of the case of turning left at 500m, the blinking period of the LED 202a may be shortened.

The first user device 200 may have at least one actuator 204a, 204b, 204c, 204d for oscillation output, as shown in Figure 6 (b). In this case, the first user equipment 200 can output the event information using the actuators 204a, 204b, 204c, and 204d. For example, if the interpreted event information is an event indicating that a left turn should be made 500m ahead, the first user equipment 200 may drive the actuators 204a.

The driving period or intensity of the actuators 204a may vary depending on the event information. For example, when the left turn must be made 100m ahead of the case of turning left at 500m, the blinking period of the actuators 204a may be shortened or the driving strength may be increased.

Although the smart watch has been described as an example of the first user device 200, the first user device 200 may be a wearable device of various types. This will be described with reference to Figs. 7 (a) and 7 (b).

7A and 7B are diagrams for explaining a first user equipment according to another embodiment of the present invention.

7A and 7B show an example of a first user equipment 200 having a smart band form. As shown in the figure, the first user equipment 200 in the form of a smart band may not be equipped with a display, and may have a form that can be easily worn on the wrist of a user.

As in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 6A and 6B, the first user equipment of the smart band type includes LEDs 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d for outputting event information, Actuators 204a, 204b, 204c, 204d may be provided.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. For example, embodiments of the present invention may be used to provide a variety of user services, such as call services and multimedia services.

When providing a call service, the event information may be related to, for example, incoming, outgoing, call establishment, and reception of a text message during a call.

In the case of providing the multimedia service, the event information may be related to playback and retrieval of the multimedia contents. For example, at the time of reproducing or searching multimedia contents, the genre and reproduction time of the corresponding multimedia contents can be converted into code values and transmitted.
