Here, the management may include processing such as copying, moving, deleting, etc. of at least some data of the position information or the spatial information.

3 is a block diagram illustrating the operation principle of the data expiration manager of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, the data expiration manager 22 of the location information processing system according to the present embodiment basically manages the location information of the portable terminal stored in the location information DB and the location information stored in the temporary storage unit of the search result.

When the location information of the portable terminal is received, the data expiry manager 22 searches the location information of the portable terminal according to the location information management policy according to the present embodiment, (Da) to the location information DB by using the predetermined data type (Da). The input data D1 to which the data type Da is applied can be converted into the data Ds having the valid time by the data expiry manager 22. [

Depending on the implementation, the data expiration manager 22 can also be converted into data Ds having an effective day of the week, a valid place, or a combination of these, in addition to the validity period or validity period according to another data type Da.

The data type of the input data D1 is shown in Table 1 below.

data Data type DATA1 type1 DATA2 type2 DATA3 type1 ... ...

As shown in Table 1, input data (DATA1, DATA2, DATA3, etc.) represent positional information and thus can have numerical data types (type1, type2, etc.) that can be stored in an accurate form.

The data type (Da) in which the valid time for each data type is defined is shown in Table 2 below.

Data type Validity type1 1 month type2 12:00 - 24:00 type3 Friday type4 Yeouido ... ...

As shown in Table 2, the data type Da can be defined for each data type of the input data D1. The data type Da can be defined to specify a valid time or validity period such as 1 month, 1 day, 12:00 to 24:00, or an effective place such as a valid day of the week, a validity date, etc.

The data Ds in which the data type Da is defined is shown in Table 3 below.

data Data type Registration time Effective time DATA1 type1 timestamp1 timestamp1 + 1 month DATA2 type2 timestamp2 timestamp2 + 1 day DATA3 type1 timestamp3 timestamp3 + 1 month ... ... ... ...

As shown in Table 3, the "data defined by data type" generated by the data expiration manager 22 is stored in the location information DB as the data for which the valid time is defined (i.e., valid time definition data) And is managed by the manager 22. The data expiration manager 22 can delete the data when the effective time of the valid time definition data stored in the location information DB or the search result temporary storage unit has elapsed.

Another example of the data Ds in which the data type Da is defined is shown in Table 4 below.

data Data type Effective day / effective place Effective time DATA11 type11 Friday timestamp11 + Friday remaining time DATA12 type12 Yeouido timestamp12 + I (infinite) ... ... ... ...

As shown in Table 4, the data expiration manager 22 can generate the "data type defined data" by applying the data type (type 11) to the input data (DATA11). Here, the data for which the data type is defined may be deleted after the Friday time stamp (timestamp 11) is held for the remaining time of the Friday from the registered time.

In addition, the data expiration manager 22 can generate "data defined data type" by applying a data type (type 12) to the input data (DATA12). Here, the data for which the data type is defined may be stored for a long period of time from the time when the user of the portable terminal registers the time stamp (timestamp 12) unless the server administrator deletes the corresponding data. In the present embodiment, the data to be stored for a long period of time, that is, the position information of the mobile terminal or the movement position peripheral information based on the position information corresponds to the specific embodiment, and therefore, .

The case where the data expiration manager 22 deletes the valid period elapsed data is shown in Table 5 below.

data Data type Registration time Effective time Remarks DATA1 type1 10/30/14 09:00:00 11/30/14 09:00:00 DATA2 type2 10/30/14 10:30:00 10/31/14 10:30:00 To delete DATA3 type1 10/30/14 11:00:00 11/30/14 11:00:00 DATA4 type3 10/31/14 07:00:00 10/31/14 24:00:00 To delete ... ... ... ...

As shown in Table 5, when the server time of the current service providing server is 1:00 am on Nov. 01, 2014 (11/01/14 01:00:00), the second input data (DATA2) and the fourth The valid time definition data by the input data (DATA4) is deleted and deleted.

In this manner, the data expiration manager 22 according to the present embodiment periodically inquires the location information DB and the location information stored in the search result temporary storage unit to delete data whose valid time has elapsed, It is possible to generate optimized spatial information on the basis of the position information and to provide the generated spatial information to the portable terminal efficiently.

4 is an exemplary diagram for explaining the operation principle of the comparison operation manager of FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a location information processing process of the comparison operation manager of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 4, the comparison operation manager of the position information processing system according to the present embodiment stores location information periodically or intermittently received from a portable terminal. The location information may be mapped onto the map.

For example, the positional information (1, 2, 3, 4) of the first group about the predetermined time and the positional information (4, 5, 6, 7) of the second group about the predetermined time, The positional information 7a⑧9 of the fourth group before and after the predetermined time on the basis of the positional information of the third group before and after the third time T2 and the fourth time T3, (Refer to Ly2 in FIG. 11) that is superimposed on the map in accordance with the direction. For convenience of illustration, in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, respective positional information is shown as 1 to 9 and 7a in a rectangular box, respectively.

Here, the position information of each group can be used to generate the moving-position peripheral information based on the position information request radius R1 formed based on the position information request time T0, T1, T2, or T3. If the first time T0 is earlier than the second time T1 and the second time T1 is earlier than the third time T2 in the position information request time, It is faster than time T3.

More specifically, as shown in Fig. 5, in order to generate the abbreviated reporting information (position-based reporting information) by comparing the above-described positional information, the comparison operation manager (see 23 in Figs. 1 and 2) Since there is no second location information stored in the search result temporary storage unit with respect to the information request at the first time T0 of the portable terminal, the first location information (①②③④) of the location information DB is used as the reduced location information, .

Next, the comparison operation manager compares the information request at the second time (T1) among the first location information (4, 5, 6, 7) generated by the query request manager as a search result for the location information DB with respect to the information request at the second time The second location information (1, 2, 3, 4) outputted from the search result temporary storage unit according to the information request of the second location information (5, 6, 7) excluding the specific location information (4) which are overlapped with each other is outputted as the third location information.

Next, the comparison operation manager compares the information request at the third time (T2) among the first position information (⑦⑧⑨) generated by the inquiry request manager as the search result for the position information DB with respect to the information request at the third time (T2) (④⑤⑥⑦) outputted from the search result temporary storage unit in accordance with the information request of the first search unit and outputs some first position information (⑧9) excluding the specific position information (⑦) overlapping with each other as third position information do.

Next, the comparison operation manager compares the information request at the fourth time (T3) among the first position information (7a⑧⑨) generated by the query request manager as a search result for the position information DB with respect to the information request at the fourth time (T3) The second position information (⑦⑧ ⑨) outputted from the search result temporary storage unit in accordance with the information request of the first position information (7) and outputs some first position information (7a) excluding the specific position information can do.

According to the present embodiment, the service providing server compares the search result location information (first location information) with the temporary storage location information (second location information) through the comparison operation manager when requesting information while the mobile terminal moves, The location information service or the spatial information service can be efficiently provided by determining only the information as the final report information.

6 is an exemplary view of another embodiment of location-based reporting information of the comparison operation manager of FIG.

The comparison operation manager of the position information processing system according to the present embodiment can generate the third position information in a slightly different form from the above-described third position information generation with reference to FIG.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the position information request radius R1 is similar to the reference value range after the third time point T2, the comparison operation manager compares the pre-change position information (7) Only the third position information 7a can be generated.

In the above-described case, the mobile terminal which has received the third position information can change the pre-change position information only to the post-change position information and output the current position information or the spatial information, The service can be used.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation principle of a position information processing system according to another embodiment of the present invention. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a position information processing process of the comparison operation manager of the position information processing system of FIG.

1 and 7, in the position information processing system according to the present embodiment, the inquiry request manager 21 transmits position information to the position information DB 25 in accordance with an information request signal received from the portable terminal 10 (S21, S22). The inquiry request manager 21 can inquire the location information of the portable terminal about the predetermined time before and after the point of time when the information request signal is received as the location information.

The location information DB 25 inquires the location information in response to the inquiry of the location information of the inquiry request manager 21 and outputs the first location information L1 extracted by the search result. The first location information L1 extracted from the location information DB 25 may not be directly stored in the search result temporary storage unit 26 (refer to S23 in FIG. 2), unlike the case of FIG. Here, the location information of the portable terminal 10 can be stored in the location information DB 25 in the form of effective time definition data in which the data type is defined by the data expiration manager 22.

The data expiry manager 22 manages location information stored in the location information DB 25 and location information stored in the search result temporary storage 26 (S24, S25). The data expiration manager 22 can be implemented to delete data whose validity period or validity period has elapsed according to the management policy or the user setting.

2, the search result temporary storage unit 26 stores the first position information, which is the past search result, as the third position information that is accumulated and stored according to the preset predetermined time or the occurrence of the specific event .

The comparison operation manager 23 receives the first positional information L1 from the positional information DB 25 and obtains the second positional information L2 from the search result temporary storage unit 26 ). The comparison operation manager 23 compares the first position information L1 with the second position information L2 and generates the position information L3 reduced as the comparison result.

Here, the abbreviated position information, that is, the third position information L3, is information to be reported to the portable terminal 10 by the comparison operation manager 23, the first position information L1 which is the current search result, The second position information L2 can be compared with the second position information L2 and the position information that overlaps with the second position information L2 in the first position information L1 can be removed.

In this embodiment, however, since there is no report information accumulated at the beginning of the comparison operation, the comparison operation manager 23 can output the first position information as the third position information. The abbreviated report information, i.e., the third location information L3, may be accumulated and stored in the search result temporary storage unit 26 via the report information storage manager 28. [ For this purpose, the report information storage manager 28 may accumulate the third location information L3 for a predetermined period of time or during a predetermined event occurrence period, and store the third location information L3 in the search result temporary storage unit 26. [

The operation of the comparison operation manager 23 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG.

The output third position information L3 is provided to the portable terminal through the request result reporter 24 at steps S28 and S29 and stored in the report information storage manager 28 and stored in the search result temporary storage 26 (S30).

Next, the comparison operation manager 23 compares the first position information (4) (5) (6) (7) as the search result of the position information DB 25 according to the inquiry of the inquiry request manager 21 with respect to the information request at the second time The second position information (1, 2, 3, 4) output from the search result temporary storage unit 26 in accordance with the information request at the second time T1 among the generated first position information is compared and calculated And outputs the position information (5 6 7) excluding the position information (4) as the third position information. The output third position information L3 is provided to the portable terminal through the request result reporter 24 at steps S28 and S29 and stored in the report information storage manager 28 and stored in the search result temporary storage 26 (S30).

Next, the comparison operation manager 23 compares the first position information () with the information request at the third time (T2) of the portable terminal as the search result of the position information DB 25 according to the inquiry of the inquiry request manager 21 ), And compares the second position information (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) output from the search result temporary storage unit 26 according to the information request at the third time T2 among the generated first position information, And outputs some first position information (8) except for the position information (7) as third position information. The output third position information L3 is provided to the portable terminal through the request result reporter 24 at steps S28 and S29 and stored in the report information storage manager 28 and stored in the search result temporary storage 26 (S30).

10 is a flowchart for explaining the main operation principle of the position information processing system of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 10, the location information processing system according to the present embodiment accesses the service providing server through a predetermined and permitted connection path as the portable terminal side system, and transmits its own location information (corresponding to the first location information Quot; is assumed) (S101). The validity period set through the mobile terminal may correspond to the validity period according to the data type in Table 2. [

Next, the service providing server reflects the location information management policy set by the mobile terminal on the location information of the mobile terminal or the movement location peripheral information (i.e., spatial information) based on the location information (S102).

For example, when the valid time is assigned by the portable terminal, the data expiration manager of the service providing server sets the valid period preset in each location information when storing the location information collected from the portable terminal in the location information DB, DB, and delete the corresponding location information when the valid period of the location information stored in the location information DB has elapsed.

Next, the mobile terminal receives the location-based report information reflecting the location information management policy set by itself from the service providing server (S103). The location-based reporting information received from the portable terminal has an abbreviated form in which redundant data is deleted from positional information repeated periodically for a predetermined period of time or spatial information based on positional information from a specific point in time.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the load on the communication network can be reduced and the communication cost can be reduced by using the abbreviated report information when requesting the information on the location information or the spatial information of the portable terminal.

11 is an exemplary view of spatial information that can be used in the embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 11, the location information processing system according to the present embodiment can generate spatial information by mapping location information of a portable terminal onto a pre-stored map.

That is, the position information (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) 7a (Lo1) of the portable terminal and the moving position peripheral information or the spatial information (A, B, C, D) Lo2 may be displayed on a separate layer Ly2 and superimposed on the map layer Ly1 to generate spatial information by these overlapping layers. Here, the separate layer Ly2 may be configured to display position information or spatial information corresponding to each viewpoint on each of a plurality of different layers according to the information request time of the portable terminal. Of course, in another embodiment, it is also possible to display position information and spatial information on independent layers, respectively.

In the above-described embodiment, the spatial information based on the location information of the mobile terminal is generated by the service providing server, but is not limited thereto and may be configured to be generated in the mobile terminal according to the implementation. In this case, the mobile terminal receives the third position information in the form of the abbreviated report information from the service providing server, generates the space information using the third position information and the self application, or transmits the third position information to the other space information To the service provider (server) and receive the spatial information based on the third location information from the spatial information service provider.
