Hereinafter, a social network related to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a social network related to one embodiment of the present invention.

Social networks is one of the research fields of web science. It refers to a social relation structure that is created by interdependent ties between individual nodes or individuals as a single node. At this time, all the nodes are individual subjects in the network, and the tie is the relation between each node (above, Wikipedia).

The social network according to the present invention may include at least one second node B, C, D, E, F, and B having a relationship with a first node A, centering on a first node (node A) G, H, I).

The first and second nodes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I may be a specific location, a specific road, a specific building, a specific user,

For example, if the first node A is a specific user, other users or terminals having a relationship with the user can configure the social network 10 together with the specific user as a second node.

When the first node A is a specific road, other roads, buildings, terminals or users having a relationship with the specific road may constitute the social network 10 together with the specific road as a second node .

When the first node A is a specific building, another building, road, terminal or users having a relationship with the specific building can configure the social network 10 together with the specific building as the second node .

When the first node A is in a specific location, another location, road, building, terminal or user having a relationship with the specific location is configured as a second node with the specific location to configure the social network 10 .

Since the social network 10 according to the present invention is formed around a specific node, various social networks 10 can be configured according to a specific node. For example, when the specific node is a "southern ring road", a "star tower", a "Gangnam station", a "Yeouido", etc., the information networks 500 formed around the specific nodes may be different from each other.

At this time, although each of the information networks 500 may not coincide with each other, some of the other nodes included in one information network 10 may be included in another information network 10 as well. For example, assuming user A and user B are included in network 10 formed around a node named "Southern Circuit Road ", user A and user B are connected to network 10 formed around a node named" And user C may be included. That is, the node A may be included both in the network formed around the "southern ring road" and in the network formed around the "star tower ".

At this time, the nodes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I may preferably have corresponding location attributes. For example, when the nodes are a specific location, a specific road, or the like, the location of the specific location, the specific road, and the specific building may be a location attribute corresponding to the node, The current location of the particular terminal or the specific user may be a location attribute corresponding to the node.

In addition, the first node A can be distinguished as a static node and a dynamic node, which means a node whose positional property corresponding to the specific location, specific road, specific building, etc. does not change, A node means a node whose positional attribute, such as the specific user or the specific electronic device, can be changed over time.

The first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, The nodes are directly related to the first node A, but the nodes D and H are indirectly related to the first node B (in the drawing, a line connecting nodes and nodes is a node In which case they are directly related. For example, a node D is associated with the first node A via a node I or a node G, and the node H is associated with the first node A via a node B or a node F have.

In this case, the nodes B, C, E, F, G and I define a first-order relationship with the first node A, and the nodes D and H define a second- . Of course, although not shown in the figure, there is no relationship with B, C, E, F, G, and I. However, if there is a node that is associated with any one of the D and H nodes, And has a cubic relationship with the first node (A).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the relationship between the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, The positional relationship between the first node A and the second nodes B, C, D, E, F, G, H, In other words, when the B user (second node) sets the reverse osmosis station (first node) as a region of interest, a predetermined relationship may be formed between the first node and the second node by the B user's intention. On the other hand, when the terminal (second node) of the C user is located within a certain range from the Gangnam station (first node), the C user has a natural relationship with the Gangnam station (second node) Can be formed.

According to other embodiments of the present invention, the first node may have a specific keyword associated with the first node as its attribute, and if the information generated and uploaded through the second node includes the specific keyword, A relationship may be formed between one node and the second node. In other words, if the user D is not currently located on the southern ring road, but he / she is watching the news at home, he / she is found to have a car stuck on the southern part of the ring road, Bi-directional congestion due to the zone fire "is generated and uploaded, a relationship with the southern ring road (first node) may be formed due to a specific keyword" southern ring road "uploaded by the second node.

As described above, the relationship between the first node and the second node can be maintained not only statically, but also has a relationship that changes continuously according to the positional relationship, the keyword relation, etc., The network can generate information highly relevant to a particular node.

In this way, the existing social network can be formed only by the request between the user and the user by the social relation between the user and the user, while the social network embodied by the present invention goes beyond this relationship, The relationship can be formed according to the relationship. Accordingly, various kinds of information generated and uploaded by various entities can form a social network centering on various traffic information or a specific location that may be of interest in a specific area. According to this characteristic, the nodes constituting the social network according to the present invention can be continuously changed over time.

delete

In addition, the content received from the first navigation device 300 may include time information indicating the time at which the content was transmitted. The various information included in the content received from the first navigation device 300 has been described above. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various information other than the above-mentioned information may be included in the content received from the first navigation device 300. [

Then, the server 200 receives a location-related search factor from the second navigation device 400 (S110) and selects a content based on the received search factor among the contents stored in the database 230 of the server 200 The content matching the search condition is searched (S120). And transmits the searched content to the second navigation device 400 (S130). Meanwhile, the server 200 may receive the location-related search condition completed from the second navigation device 400 and search the content stored in the database 230 based on the received search condition. That is, the search factor itself received from the second navigation device 400 may be a search condition.

Here, the search factor refers to an element for generating a condition for searching for a content stored in the database 230 of the server 200. The search factor includes a location of the second navigation device 400, A location of a specific user (e.g., a location of a user of the first navigation device 300), a specific road, a specific route, a specific keyword, and the like.

In addition, the search factor may further include time information for searching for a content transmitted in a specific time zone, and direction information for searching for a content transmitted in a specific direction based on a location set by the search factor. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, specific examples of the content search operation of the server using the search factor will be described.

For example, a case where the position of the second navigation device 400 is a search factor will be described. The server 200 can search contents transmitted from the first navigation device 300 within a certain range based on the position of the second navigation device 400. [

At this time, the server 200 can retrieve the content transmitted between the present time and the current time based on the current time, and the content transmitted after the present time and stored in the database 230. [ The second navigation device 400 can periodically transmit its position to the server 200 through communication with the server 200 and receive the searched contents.

Next, consider the case where the location of a particular building is a search factor. The server 200 can search contents transmitted from the first navigation device 300 within a preset range based on the location of the specific building. Here, the specific building may be a building in which the user of the second navigation device 400 is interested in traffic information, event information, accident information, etc. around the specific building. Then, the user of the second navigation device 400 receiving the search result can immediately acquire information that may occur around the specific building. At this time, the server 200 can search contents transmitted within an azimuth of a predetermined range based on the location of the specific building.

Next, a case where the specific position designated by the user of the second navigation device 400 is a search factor will be described. The server 200 may search contents transmitted from the first navigation device 300 within a preset range based on the position of the specific point. For example, if the user of the second navigation device 400 does not have the location information of the place to acquire the information, the user selects a specific point on the map displayed on the second navigation device 400, Can be specified.

Next, a case where the specific road is a search factor will be described. The server 200 can search contents whose transmission position is on the specific road or within a certain range from the specific road. Here, the search factor may be limited to a specific period of interest of the user of the second navigation device 400 among the specific roads.

When the specific road becomes a search factor, direction information that is another search factor is preferably considered together. This is because the user of the second navigation device 400 moves to the second navigation device 400 because the user of the second navigation device 400 moves with directionality (for example, up line and down line of the highway) The content transmitted from the navigation device having or having the same moving direction as the moving direction of the content is likely to be the content of interest.

Next, a case where the specific path is a search factor will be described. The server 200 can search for a content whose transmission position is on the specific route or within a certain range from the specific route. Here, the specific route may be a route set by the user of the second navigation device 400.

In addition, the search factor may be limited to a specific section of the specific route in which the second navigation device 400 is particularly interested. As in the case where the specific road is a search factor, it is preferable that the direction information is considered as an additional search factor even when the specific path is a search factor.

In the above, the server 200 searches for the content related to the search factor received from the second navigation device 400 as the content transmission position. Hereinafter, a method for searching for a content including location-related information related to at least one search factor among contents received from the first navigation device 300 will be described as a specific search example of the server 200. [ At this time, it is assumed that the search factor received from the second navigation device 400 is "Olympic"

First, a case where a message created by a user of the first navigation device 300 included in the content received from the first navigation device 300 includes location information related to "Olympic Avenue " will be described. For example, when the message created by the user included in the content is "rollover near the Olympic bridge in the vicinity of the Holy Water bridge ", the server 200 stores the content as content . ≪ / RTI > At this time, the search condition in the server 200 may be a content including a message for the search factor "Olympic Games. &Quot;

Next, when the position of the first navigation device 300 included in the content received from the first navigation device 300 is "Olympic ", the server 200 transmits the content to the search factor" Olympic Quot; to "location-related information ". At this time, the search condition of the server 200 may be the content transmitted from the navigation device that is located on the "Olympic"

The search operation of the contents of the server 200 when the search factor received from the second navigation device 400 is a specific building location or a specific keyword or the like can be easily estimated by those skilled in the art based on the examples A detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to the information providing method of the server 200 shown in FIG. 6, the user of the second navigation device 400 can receive the sensible customized content related to the desired position using the search factor.

Then, the navigation device 400 transmits a search factor to the server 200 for requesting a search for a content requested by the user or searching for a content meeting a predetermined condition (S210). For example, the user may set a keyword corresponding to a specific road name as a search factor for receiving contents including traffic information on a specific road. In addition, the navigation device 400 may automatically transmit the position of the navigation device 400 to a search factor in order to receive content transmitted within a predetermined range at the current position of the navigation device 400. [

Then, the navigation device 400 receives the searched content from the server 200 based on the transmitted search factor (S220), and displays the received content on the display unit (S230).

FIG. 8 shows a screen of the navigation device 400 displaying a map for contents and route guidance received from the server as a result of performing the operation methods shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 shows the content of the content transmitted within a predetermined range on the predetermined route on the screen of the navigation device 400 based on the current time of 8:30.

Referring to FIG. 8, the map of the navigation device 400 includes a map display area for route guidance and a content display area for displaying contents received before 8:30. In addition, the displayed content includes user information such as the name of the user of the electronic device that transmitted the content, user information such as a photograph, moving speed of the electronic device to which the content is transferred, moving path and moving direction of the electronic device to which the content is transferred, . However, this is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

D2, D3, and D4 obtained through the social network 10 can be displayed in the content display area shown in FIG. 8. The first content D1 and the second content D1 D2 includes traffic related information input by users via terminals of other users (i.e., first electronic devices) with respect to a traffic situation at the north end of the Hanam Bridge in front of the route.

That is, the first and second contents D1 and D2 correspond to the information retrieved from the server 200 based on a search factor including path and direction information generated based on the set path. On the other hand, the third content D3 is a photograph showing the scenery of Dankook University, which is the destination, and displays information acquired by users directly through the terminal of another user (that is, the first electronic device).

That is, the third content D3 corresponds to the content generated based on the destination of the set route. On the other hand, the fourth content D4 contains information about a discount event being performed within a certain range around the set route. That is, the user can acquire not only traffic information on the route but also various information generated around the route.

As described above, the types of content that may be collected and provided by embodiments of the present invention may vary widely. For example, the information included in the content may be text information, image information, sound information, or the like. Meanwhile, the type of information included in the content may include traffic related information, user information on a specific location of interest, or advertisement information.

This information may also be customized content searched based on the search factor set by the user.

9 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of the server 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the process will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 5, and 9. FIG.

First, a plurality of graphic objects are stored in the database 230 of the server 200 (S300). The plurality of graphic objects may be a plurality of graphic objects representing information that can be included in contents received from external electronic devices. Graphics objects stored in the database 230 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 10 to 11. FIG.

Then, the server 200 receives the content from the first electronic device 300 and stores the received content in the database 230 (S310). As described above, the contents may include not only text messages, images, images, and sound signals created by the user of the first electronic device 300 but also the time and position at which the contents are transmitted.

Then, the server 200 receives the search factor from the second electronic device 400 (S320). As described above, the search factor is information that is an element for the server 200 to generate a condition for searching for a content. The search factor includes a location of the second electronic device 400, a current time, , A specific road, a specific location designated by the user, a specific keyword, and the like.

When the search factor is received from the second electronic device 400, the server 200 searches the content stored in the database 230 based on the search condition generated based on the search factor at step S330. In more detail, the server 200 generates a location-related search condition for searching the content stored in the database 230 based on the location-related search factor received from the second electronic device 400 , So that the contents stored in the database 230 can be searched.

For example, when the location of the second electronic device 400 from the second electronic device 400 is received as a search factor, the server 200 determines that the location of the second electronic device 400 is " Quot; content transmitted within a radius of 1 km ", and then search for a corresponding content. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the server 200 may receive the completed search condition from the second electronic device 400. For example, the server 200 may receive a search condition "content transmitted within a radius of 1 km from the current position of the second electronic device 400" completed from the second electronic device 400.

When the search for the content stored in the database 230 is completed, the server 200 selects a graphic object corresponding to the searched content (for example, traffic related information) among a plurality of graphic objects stored in the database 230 (S340), and transmits the graphic object and the position information included in the content to the second electronic device 400 to map the graphic object to the map displayed on the second electronic device 400 (S350 ).

Here, the location information included in the content may be a coordinate value of a point at which the content is transmitted from the first electronic device 300. [ The second electronic device 400 receives the graphic object and the coordinate value, maps the graphic object to a position corresponding to the coordinate value on the map, displays the map on which the graphic object is mapped on the display unit can do.

The location information included in the content may be information included in a message created by a user of the first electronic device 300 included in the content. For example, if the content includes a message "Near Olympic < / RTI > Olympic Bridge " generated by the user of the first electronic device 300, the server 200 may transmit" .

Then, the second electronic device 400 may map the graphic object around the Olympic bridge on the map and display the map on which the graphic object is mapped on the display unit 141. For example, the graphic object may be a graphic object corresponding to the occurrence event information included in the message created by the user of the first electronic device 300.

FIG. 10 shows an example of a screen of the navigation device 400 in which traffic related information included in the contents is mapped to a map as a result of performing the server operation method of FIG. For reference, the navigation device 400 corresponds to the second electronic device in FIG. 2, so that the member number 400 is used. This is also true in Fig.

10 shows a case where the search factor received from the second electronic device 400 is "the current position of the second electronic device 400" Quot; radius 500 m "and then searches the contents stored in the database 230 according to the search condition.

10, graphic objects corresponding to the traffic-related information included in the content searched within a radius of 500 m from the current position of the navigation device 400 are displayed on the screen of the display unit 141 of the navigation device 400 You can see what is displayed. The first graphic object (A) of the graphic objects displayed on the screen represents the "beacon light" image corresponding to the "incident-related event information" contained in the content retrieved from the server 200. The second to fourth graphic objects B to D among the graphic objects displayed on the screen represent a "camera" image corresponding to "image capture event information" included in the content retrieved from the server 200. [

FIG. 11 shows another example of a screen of a navigation device in which traffic related information included in contents is mapped to a map as a result of performing the operation method of the server of FIG. 11, when the search factor received from the second electronic device 400 is "the route searched in the navigation device 400 ", the server 200 determines that" Quot; content transmitted on the route ", and then searching for the content stored in the database 230 according to the search condition, the navigation device 400 displays an example of the navigation device 400 screen.

Referring to FIG. 11, graphical objects corresponding to various traffic-related information are displayed on the first and second routes detected by the navigation device 400 on the display unit 141 of the navigation device 400 have. A "pin image (E)" not shown in FIG. 10 among the graphic objects displayed on the screen of the navigation device 400 in FIG. 11 is an image indicating that a message created by the user included in the content is included have.

As shown in FIG. 11, when content transmitted on a specific route is searched, direction information is preferably considered together. For example, on the screen of the navigation device 400 shown in FIG. 11, the server 200 can search only the content transmitted from the electronic apparatuses moving on the route in the direction of the destination (G) from the origin S . This is because the content transmitted from the electronic devices moving in the opposite direction is likely to be unnecessary information for the user of the navigation device 400. [

The graphical objects corresponding to the contents shown in FIGS. 10 to 11, that is, corresponding to the event information included in the contents are examples according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is limited thereto It is not. That is, the types of event information that can be imaged can also be various, and graphic objects corresponding to specific event information can be variously set. For example, the graphic object corresponding to the event information may be in the form of an icon, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, or may be implemented in flash.

As described above, according to the information providing method of the server shown in FIG. 9, the user of the electronic device receiving the information from the server 200 can receive the event information (for example, , Traffic-related information) and the location of the contents can be intuitively recognized.

The process of mapping the graphic object corresponding to the content from the first electronic device 300 to the map displayed on the second electronic device 400, which has been described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11, .

That is, the second electronic device 400 receives the retrieved content received from the server 200, selects a graphic object corresponding to the event information included in the content among a plurality of pre-stored graphic objects, Can be mapped to a pre-stored map and displayed on the display unit 141.
