[

According to the present invention, the N stores are assigned a unique store position coordinate value, which is compared with a position coordinate value of the smartphone 100 calculated through the position measurement module 112, Stores the store location coordinate values allocated to the N stores and N store identification values that identify the N stores, and keeps them on the medium.

Here, the store position coordinate value includes a store position coordinate value that is compared with a position coordinate value of the smartphone 100 calculated through the position measurement module 112, and the store position coordinate value includes a store position coordinate value (E.g., map data, or data indicating a movement path for each position coordinate).

Wherein the store identification value includes at least one store unique number allocated to the N stores and a store unique code allocated to the N stores, or a business registration number assigned to each of the N stores, a store name and a store location combination name, A store address, store representative information, and a store telephone number.

The media holding unit 115 determines M store groups by grouping at least one store based on names and sales items among the N stores. For example, in the case of a franchise store having 100 stores, the 100 stores are independent stores located at respective locations, but since the same names are the same and sales products are the same, the 100 stores are included in one store group do.

When M store groups are determined based on the N stores, the media holding unit 115 allocates identifiers unique to the M store groups. Each store group operates a common application application, which stores the application identification value unique to each store group application or identifies the unique application identification value pre-assigned to the application. Here, the application identification value may be greater than or equal to the number of store groups.

When the store group identification value uniquely identifying the M store groups and the K (K?

Referring to FIG. 1, the smartphone 100 includes a final position confirmation unit 120 (FIG. 1) for confirming a final position coordinate value among position coordinates of the smartphone 100 periodically positioned through the position determination module 112, (I > = 1) store position coordinate values within a predetermined distance by comparing the last position coordinate value of the positioned smart phone 100 with N (N > = 1) store position coordinate values held in the medium, (1 ≤ n ≤ N) stores in which the user has visited (or is scheduled to arrive) the shop where the shortest copper wire connection is possible among the i shop locations And a burden determining unit 130.

The position measurement module 112 periodically calculates a position coordinate value of the smartphone 100 using at least one of the GPS positioning module and the terrestrial positioning module, The final position coordinate value among the position coordinates of the smartphone 100 periodically positioned through the position determination module 112 is determined.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the final position confirmation unit 120 confirms the position state value of the smartphone 100 corresponding to the final position coordinate value.

Here, the position state value may be determined not only by the current position coordinate values of the smartphone 100 that is positioned in real time, but also by the geographical information data (e.g., map data, The data indicating the movement path). That is, if the final position coordinate value is a coordinate value on the position coordinate system corresponding to the position measurement module 112, the position state value is determined by determining whether the final position coordinate value is a difference on the road, Whether it is inside or outside the building, and the like.

For example, if the position coordinate value of the smartphone 100 periodically positioned through the position positioning module 112 is moving along the roadway, the final position coordinate value includes a position coordinate value having a certain error value Whereas the position state value corresponding to the final position coordinate value is a value for determining that the smartphone 100 is located on the road on the geographic information data. Or if the position coordinate value of the smartphone 100 periodically positioned through the position determination module 112 is not positioned for a predetermined time, the final position coordinate value includes the position coordinate value positioned last before a predetermined time While the position state value corresponding to the final position coordinate value is a value that determines that the smartphone 100 is located in the entranceable building at the final position on the geographical information data. On the other hand, the N stores are mostly located in a room where GPS satellite signals are not received. Accordingly, the final position confirmation unit 120 maintains the final position coordinate value of the smartphone 100 periodically positioned through the position determination module 112 to check the position state value of the smartphone 100 do.

When the final position coordinate value (or the position state value corresponding to the final position coordinate value) of the smartphone 100 is confirmed, the burial position confirmation unit 125 determines the final position coordinate value of the smartphone 100, The N store position coordinate values held in the medium are compared with each other, and i (i > = 1) store position coordinate values within a predetermined distance from the final position coordinate value are confirmed.

When the i stores which are available to the user of the smartphone 100 are identified, the store deciding unit 130 stores geographical information data (e.g., map data, (I) connecting the i moving lines between the last position coordinates of the smartphone 100 and the i store position coordinates based on the coordinates At least one nth store where the user of the smartphone 100 is or is scheduled to visit is determined as at least one store capable of short-circuited connection within the set rank.

For example, when the smartphone 100 is finally positioned at the one side of the center road, the straight line distance from the final position of the smartphone 100 to the store position across the road is shorter than the straight distance from the smartphone 100 To the store on the other side of the smartphone 100 by crossing the crosswalk to move to the store across from the end of the smartphone 100, even though the final location of the smartphone 100 is closer than the straight- The store position confirming unit 125 may determine that the store located on the same side as the final position of the smartphone 100 is a shop that the user of the smartphone 100 has visited or is scheduled to visit, n It is decided by the store.

According to the method of the present invention, the store determining unit 130 may determine the stores other than the n-th store out of the i stores as the user's available stores.

1, when the nth store is determined, the smartphone 100 determines whether an application corresponding to the nth store is recorded in the program memory of the smartphone 100 135) for activating an application mode for executing the application when the application is confirmed and activating an application mode for downloading the application from a storage medium on the communication network and recording the application in the program memory if the application is not identified An event detection unit 145 for detecting an event value corresponding to an event identification value for loading the application when the application mode is activated; and an event detection unit 145 for combining the event value and the application mode, Apple And a revocation controller 150.

If at least one nth store that the user has visited or is expected to visit is determined through the store determining unit 130, the application identifying unit 135 obtains, from the medium, the n-th store identification value Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 1 < / RTI > If the m store group identification value identifying the m (1?
