For a better understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments of the present invention may be modified into various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described in detail below. The present embodiments are provided to enable those skilled in the art to more fully understand the present invention. Therefore, the shapes and the like of the elements in the drawings can be exaggeratedly expressed to emphasize a clearer description. It should be noted that in the drawings, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals. Detailed descriptions of well-known functions and constructions which may be unnecessarily obscured by the gist of the present invention are omitted.

1 is a diagram illustrating a square according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a square according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention refers to a specific space or a specific area. The square refers to a virtual space in which an online space is mixed based on an offline space, It means space. In other words, the square can be divided into two areas, such as a performance hall, a downtown area, a festival site, a sports arena (soccer, baseball, etc.), a shopping mall, a large exhibition hall, a playground, a ski resort, a golf course, It is an online space formed to provide services to the users in the offline space.

First, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), one square may be formed in a specific area. For example, a soccer field can be covered even if it is formed in one square because one place is within 1 Km.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the squares are formed with a plurality of sub-squares in a specific area, and they can be formed into one square. In this case, the festival event is not held in one place, but the festival is held in the same place but in different places. For example, a festival performance hall, a city performance hall, and a suburban performance hall are places for conducting one festival event, but the distances are different from each other, and therefore they are divided into sub-squares 12a, 12b, and 12c for each place, . And, each of the sub-squares 12a, 12b, and 12c can be set differently from a connectable designation range.

In the case where the area 13 including all the places is formed as one square, since places not related to the festival event can be included in the square area, when the festival events are distributed in various places, It is preferable to form one square by dividing into squares 12a, 12b, and 12c.

Thus, the square may be formed as a single area in a specific area, or may be divided into a plurality of sub-areas in a specific area to function as a single area.

2 is a configuration diagram of a join service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the join service providing system according to the present invention may include a join service providing server 100, and a plurality of devices 200a to 200c and 200.

The joining service providing server 100 may connect users located in a specific area, which is a square, with each other through a device 200, and provide a joining service related to information that users can use in real time. Here, the information that the users can use in real time through the joining service may include, for example, customized information for each user, information about shops, online-offline information (O2O), and community information. Quot; service information "

Customized information per user may include age, gender, customized information according to interest, real-time customized information, and the like. Store information may include shop information, event information, discount coupon information, and the like, which are provided through a short-range wireless communication network such as beacon and Near Far Communication (NFC). The O2O information can be information about store food, drinks, ordering goods, discount coupon information, and the like. The community information may include information relating to a friend or a community.

The user can obtain the effect of interconnecting all the surrounding information through the joining function. That is, the user can connect with the store to form a mutual community, receive real-time coupon information, and can connect with other people to make friends around.

 The device 200 can load software or an application program (hereinafter referred to as "join service application") for using a join service associated with a specific square in cooperation with the join service providing server 100. The join service application is interfaced with the operating system (OS), framework, GPS, bluetooth, Wi-fi, program / source, compiler / . A detailed description thereof will be omitted because it will be easily understood by those skilled in the art.

In Fig. 2, three squares (i.e., a square A, a square B, and a square C) are formed. In addition, 'Square A' shows a case where three devices 200, that is, a device A 200a, a device B 200b, and a device C 200c are located.

Herein, the device A 200a and the device B 200b are provided with a 'join service related to the square A' from the join service providing server 100, and the device C 200c receives from the join service providing server 100 ' Joining services related to Square A 'are not provided. The reason why the device C (200c) is not receiving the 'join service related to the square A' may be as follows. First, if the device C 200c is not registered according to the membership subscription procedure provided by the join service providing server 100 or is registered according to the membership subscription procedure provided by the join service providing server 100, (Joining) the related 'join services'. On the other hand, the device A 200a and the device B 200b not only register according to the membership registration procedure provided by the join service providing server 100 but also join (join) the 'join service related to the square A' .

In this manner, the device 200 must proceed to join a specific square in order to use a join service related to a specific square. This process, the process of joining (joining) a specific square, is hereinafter referred to as "joining". That is, joining is a process of binding people in a certain offline area to the same online space, that is, on the same square. However, joining is a function activated on a square located within a predetermined radius (for example, 3 km) based on the location of the user, that is, the location of the device 200. When a user joins a specific square through joining, the user can use unlimited services related to the particular square involved. That is, when the user joins the specific square through the device 200, service information such as customized information, coupon information, and the like for each user of the corresponding square can be received in real time. The user is not limited to using the writing function through the authentication process.

Meanwhile, joining is not a process for simply logging in a third virtual space, but a process of using location information (GPS information, etc.) about the current location of the user, sharing own information and receiving personalized information, Of the use of the local area network.

In Fig. 2, the squares A and B are located within a predetermined radius based on the positions of the device A 200a and the device B 200b. Accordingly, the squares A and B are squares belonging to a range that can be joined by the device A 200a and the device B 200b. That is, the device A 200a and the device B 200b participate in the square A through joining, but they can also participate in the square B through joining.

On the other hand, the device 200 can proceed to 'accessing a specific square and using a limited joining service' located outside a predetermined radius (for example, 3 km) based on its position. This process, that is, the process of accessing a specific square and using a limited joining service, is hereinafter referred to as a "tour".

The user can receive the service information of the corresponding square by browsing the specific square through the device 200, but the user may be restricted to use the writing function according to the authentication procedure.

2, the square C is located outside the predetermined radius based on the positions of the device A 200a and the device B 200b. Accordingly, the square C is a square that falls outside the range that can be joined by the device A 200a and the device B 200b, but belongs to a range in which the device can be touched. That is, the device A 200a and the device B 200b can access the square C through a tour and use the joining service related to the square C in a limited manner.

As described above, the joining and browsing can be classified based on the position of the device 200, that is, the location of the user. In other words, joins and tours determine the level of provision of join services associated with a particular square, taking into account the potential for creating or using information related to a particular square based on the user's location.

First, joining allows users to access all the functions of the join service associated with a particular square, taking into account the possibility that users in close proximity to a particular square can generate and use information more aggressively. And the tour allows access to all but not all features of the join service associated with a particular square, taking into account the possibility of potentially generating and using information for a particular square, even if not currently close to a particular square will be.

Thus, the user may have a high degree of interest and a high frequency of use of information near his / her location. That is, since the user knows the information close to his / her location, he can generate reliable information, and can use information closer to his / her location more positively.

Each of the components shown in Fig. 2 can be generally connected via a network. A network may refer to a connection structure in which information can be exchanged between each node such as devices and servers. Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a World Interoperability for Microwave Access (WIMAX) network, But is not limited to, an area network, a wide area network (WAN), a personal area network (PAN), a Bluetooth network, a satellite broadcast network, an analog broadcast network, a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB)

The plurality of devices 200 may be implemented as a portable terminal capable of accessing a joining service providing server 100 at a remote location via a network. Here, the portable terminal may be a mobile communication device with guaranteed portability and mobility. For example, the portable terminal may be a Personal Communication System (PCS), a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), a Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), a Personal Handyphone System (PHS), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) -2000, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) -2000, W-CDMA (W-CDMA), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet) terminals, Smartphone, SmartPad, based wireless communication device such as a smart watch, a smart glass, a wearable device, and the like.

In addition, the plurality of devices 200 may include devices capable of displaying broadcast images such as TVs, smart TVs, IPTVs, monitors connected to PCs, and set-top boxes connected to TVs. In this case, a device such as a set-top box may be included inside the TV device, and may be connected to the TV device as an external device.

However, since the types of the devices 200 shown in FIG. 2 are merely illustrated for convenience of explanation, the type and the type of the device 200 discussed herein are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2 .

The device 200 transmits the user information of the device 200, various contents information and the location information of the device 200 to the join service providing server 100 and transmits the location information of the device 200 from the join service providing server 100 to the device 200 And can receive user information and content information of another device located within a predetermined area or distance.

3 is a diagram illustrating a case where a join service is provided according to a specific time event in a join service providing server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, when the device 200 is located in the off-line space of the square, the join function for that square is activated. When a user joins the corresponding square through joining, the user can use unlimited services related to the corresponding square.

However, when the device 200 is located outside the offline space of the corresponding square, it can not participate through joining the corresponding square, and it is difficult to receive the service related to the corresponding square. That is, the user can identify the corresponding square through a square search or category classification, but can not participate in the corresponding square through joining.

However, in the case where there is a specific event (i.e., a specific time event) at a specific time, the join service providing server 100 performs a joining service according to a specific time event separately from the join service provided by the participating square Can be provided.

Here, the 'specific time event' refers to an event that occurs from the start to the end at a specific time (including a specific day and a specific time), for example, performance, live relay, TV relay, breaking news, , Stadium sports events, amusement park events, and the like. These specific time events can be classified into 'events with no clear spatial characteristics (eg, performances, live broadcasts, TV broadcasts, breaking news, election statistics, etc.)' and 'events with clear spatial characteristics (eg festival parades, Park events, etc.).

Hereinafter, a case where a join service is provided according to a specific time event in the join service providing server 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

3 (a) shows a case where the specific time event is an 'event in which the spatial characteristic is not clear'.

In this case, the joining service providing server 100 generates a third virtual space 21 (referred to as a space) 21 related to a specific time event that the device 200 can access through joining.

The space 21 is a virtual space for providing a joining service related to an event having an unclear spatial characteristic, and can be accessed by the participating device 200 through joining in the online space of the square A 22. [

First, the device 200 can use the join service provided in the square A 22 through joining. Device 200 (i. E., User) is located on the off-line space of square A 22. And device 200 can not participate through joining to square B 23 outside the joinable range.

However, the join service providing server 100 exposes the space 21 to the device 200 according to the specific time event according to the user-customized information included in the service information of the user. Then, the device 200 participates in the space 21 through joining. At this time, another device in the square B 23 can participate in the space 21 like the device 200.

Accordingly, the join service providing server 100 transmits the join service provided in the space 21 to the device 200 participating in the square A 22 and other devices participating in the square B 23 according to the specific time event .

In this way, the device 200 uses the joining service together with the device in the other square according to the specific time event, so that the joining service provided in the square 21 (that is, the square A 22) Joining services can be provided.

However, the join service providing server 100 does not share the join service provided by each of the square A (22) and the square B (23). That is, since the device 200 does not join through joining the square B 23, the joining service provided by the square B 23 can not be used.

For example, suppose that a user is interested in 'breaking news' and a specific time event for 'breaking news' is held for a period of 'month □ day, 12: 00~14: 00 (two hours)' do. In this case, the user is located on the off-line space of the square A (22).

When the user activates the joining service application of the device 200 at 12:30 pm, the device 200 exposes the space 21 for the specific time event. The user is provided with a join service related to a specific time event through joining the space 21. At this time, the user can also confirm the joining service participation contents of other users located in the offline space of the square B (23) in the space (21). The user is prevented from using the joining service provided in the space 21 as the specific time event ends at 14:00 on the month * However, the user can use only a tour of the join service provided in the space 21.

FIG. 3 (b) shows a case where the specific time event is an 'event in which the spatial characteristic is clear'.

In this case, the joining service providing server 100 exposes a 'square related to a specific time event' which the device 200 can access through joining.

First, the device 200 can use the join service provided in the square A 22 through joining. Device 200 (i. E., User) is located on the off-line space of square A 22. And device 200 can not participate through joining to square C 24 outside the joinable range.

However, the join service providing server 100 exposes the square C 24 to the device 200 according to a specific time event according to customized information for each user included in the service information of the user. The device 200 then joins the square C 24 through joining.

Accordingly, the join service providing server 100 can provide the device 200 with the join service provided by the square C 24 according to the specific time event.

That is, even if the device 200 is not located in the off-line space of the square C 24, the device 200 can participate in the join service provided by the square C 24 through joining at a specific time according to the specific time event.

Thus, the device 200 can be provided with the join service provided by the square C 24 as well as the join service provided by its own square (i.e., the square A 22) according to the specific time event. At this time, the join service providing server 100 shares the join service provided by each of the square A (22) and the square C (24).

For example, if a user is interested in '◇◇ football game' and the specific time event for '◇◇ football game' is' □ □ □, 12: 00~14: 00 (2 hours) Are opened in association with each other. At this time, the square A 22 is formed on the off-line space of the soccer field A, and the square C 24 is formed on the off-line space of the soccer field C. The user is located on the off-line space of the square A (22).

When the user activates the join service application of the device 200 at 12:30 pm, the device 200 is exposed to the square C 24 for a specific time event. The user is provided with a join service related to a specific time event through joining to square C (24). At this time, the user can confirm the join service provided by the square C (24). That is, the user can confirm the game situation occurring on the soccer field C as well as the soccer field A through participation contents provided by the other users in the soccer field C on the square C (24).

4 is a configuration diagram of a join service providing server for providing a join service according to a specific time event according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4, the join service providing server 100 includes a specific time event generating unit 110, a service joining unit 120, a personal authentication unit 130, a service information providing unit 140, (150), and a database (160). The device 200 executes a join service application and interoperates with the join service providing server 100.

The join service providing server 100 stores information of a user subscribed to the join service, that is, user information 161 in the database 160. The user information 161 is information for identifying a user, and may include, for example, a name, a mobile phone number, authentication information, personal interest information, and the like.

The specific time event generating unit 110 generates a virtual space for providing a join service according to a specific time event. Here, the specific time event can be generated by a request of the event organizer.

First, the specific time event generating unit 110 generates a space, which is a virtual space associated with a specific time event, in the case of a specific time event whose spatial characteristics are not clear.

Next, the specific time event generating unit 110 prepares one or more squares related to the specific time event in the case of a specific time event with clear spatial characteristics. At this time, the specific time event generating unit 110 may prepare the corresponding square in a group form (i.e., a square group). In this case, the service joining unit 120, which will be described later, can provide a function of collectively participating in join services provided by a plurality of squares belonging to the corresponding square group through joining to the corresponding square group.

Here, for convenience of description, a space and a square associated with a specific time event will be collectively referred to as a " specific time event virtual space ". Thus, a user can use a specific time event when participating in a specific time event virtual space at a specific time. For example, a user can participate in a specific time event provided in a specific time event virtual space only in the TV broadcast time, and can not participate in the rebroadcast time. In addition, the user can participate in a specific time event provided in the specific time event virtual space only when the user watches the current sport in the case of a sporting event.

The service joining unit 120 exposes the specific time event virtual space generated by the specific time event generating unit 110 to the corresponding device 200 and proceeds to join the corresponding device.

First, the service joining unit 120 exposes a space corresponding to a specific time event virtual space to the device 200 in the case of a specific time event whose spatial characteristics are not clear.

Next, the service joining unit 120 exposes one or more squares corresponding to the specific time event virtual space to the device 200 in the case of a specific time event with clear spatial characteristics. As described above, the service joining unit 120 can expose the device 200 as a square group including a plurality of squares.

In this way, the service joining unit 120 can provide the joining service provided in the specific time event virtual space to the device 200 through joining. At this time, the service joining unit 120 exposes and joins a specific time event virtual space through a three-step device check process, that is, a specific time check process, a personalization check process, and an online check process, And provides the provided joining service to the corresponding device 200.

Here, the specific time checking process is a process of checking the available time of the join service provided in the specific time event virtual space. That is, the service joining unit 120 provides the specific time event virtual space to the corresponding device 200 only at a specific time. The personalization check process is a process of determining a specific time event virtual space exposed to the device 200 of the user. That is, the service joining unit 120 provides the specific time event virtual space to the device 200 according to the user-customized information. The online check process is a process of confirming whether the user participates in a join service provided in a specific time event virtual space. That is, the service joining unit 120 confirms whether joining of the device 200 is applied to the specific time event virtual space.

In addition, the service joining unit 1220 may allow a user who has not joined the square group for a specific time to a specific time event virtual space in the case of a specific time event with clear spatial characteristics. This is to allow users in the same interest to communicate in real time by joining the square group only at specific times. That is, a user who has not joined the square group can not participate through joining the square group because he is not located in the square group, but he can participate only at a specific time through the specific time event.

Meanwhile, the service joining unit 120 may provide a joining or browsing function for the specific square to the device 200 in cooperation with the device 200. [

The service joining unit 120 confirms the location of the device 200 in the offline space using the location information of the device 200 (e.g., GPS information or beacon information). The service joining unit 120 provides a joining or browsing function for a specific square to the device 200 according to the location information of the device 200.

First, the service joining unit 120 provides a joining function to the device 200 when there is a specific square within a predetermined radius (for example, within 3 km) based on the location information of the device 200 . In addition, when the service joining unit 120 provides the joining function to the device 200 according to the location information of the device 200, the service joining unit 120 divides a plurality of squares corresponding to the individual interest information into a list form (i.e., a square list) Device 200 as shown in FIG.

The device 200 provides the square list corresponding to the individual interest information in a state in which the user can confirm the square list. The user can proceed to joining (joining) to a specific area on the online space by joining the desired square from the square list confirmed from the device 200.

On the other hand, the service joining unit 120 provides a tour function to the device 200 when there is a specific square outside a preset radius (for example, 3 km) based on the location information of the device 200 . The service joining unit 120 may provide the device 200 with a square list corresponding to the individual interest information when providing the browsing function to the device 200 according to the location information of the device 200. [ The service joining unit 120 may provide a search function that allows a user to search for a desired square in cooperation with the device 200 when there is no square list to be provided to the device 200. [ Based on the recommended square list or the searched square list, the user can select a process of browsing, that is, accessing a specific area on the online space and using limited functions.

In this manner, the service joining unit 120 creates a state in which joining or browsing of a specific square is possible through a three-step process: an offline check process, a personalization check process, and an online check process.

Here, the offline check process is a process of determining a join or a tour of a specific square. The personalization check process is the process of determining the squares that are exposed to the user. That is, the square exposed to the user is a square selected according to the individual interest information. Squares not corresponding to personal interest information are not exposed to the user even if they exist around the user. That is, the squares not corresponding to the individual interest information may exist in other users, but may be squares that do not exist in the user. The online check process is the process of connecting users to a join service to an online square. A square that does not have a join or tour option is a square where the user is not allowed to join or browse, but the user does not connect to the online join service on the square. In this case, the user can choose to join or tour at any time.

The service joining unit 120 may include information related to the square list corresponding to joining and browsing for each user in the user information 161 and storing the information in the database 160. [

The personal authentication unit 130 provides a personal authentication function in the specific time event virtual space accessed through the joining function. Here, the personal authentication function is a function that can generate individual authentication information 162 that can be managed (browsed, created, modified, deleted, etc.) only by each individual user. Personal authentication information 162 is stored in the database 150 for each individual.

On the other hand, the personal authentication unit 130 provides a personal authentication function in the square accessed through the joining function. The personal authentication unit 130 does not provide a personal authentication function for the square accessed through the tour function. Here, the personal authentication function is a function that can generate individual authentication information 162 that can be managed (browsed, created, modified, deleted, etc.) only by each individual user. Personal authentication information 162 is stored in the database 150 for each individual. Personal authentication information 162 may be movement information (i.e., path, time, companion, etc.) on a particular square, various content (i.e., pictures, memos, comments, SNS or blog posts, etc.) left on a particular square, In addition, the personal authentication unit 130 may include an album creation function for storing memories, an SNS sharing function for memories sharing, a diary creation function for leaving a record, a function of managing personal authentication information 153 through a personal page, and the like . That is, the device 200 activates the personal authentication function when there is a square within a predetermined radius based on the current location by using a framework and a location service in an operating system (OS). A user may be provided with a communication API and a screen for checking, modifying, and deleting personal authentication information 153 of the database 160 through the device 200 through the personal authentication function.

The service information providing unit 140 may provide the device 200 with service information 163 related to a specific time event virtual space. In this case, the service information 163 may include information on the intangible / intangible progress of the specific time event and the like, and may be progress information such as a real time photo contest, a real time quiz, a real time vote,

Meanwhile, the service information providing unit 140 may provide the device 200 with service information 163 related to the connected squares through the joining or browsing function. The service information 163 may include category classification, name, representative image, address, square position information (GPS information of latitude and longitude), and the like. The service information 163 is managed in the database 160. The service information 163 may be provided to the device 200 via the communication API. The device 200 can verify, modify and delete the service information 163 via the communication API. Specifically, the service information providing unit 140 may provide customized information for each user of the connected squares to the device 200 in real time through joining or browsing functions. That is, the service information providing unit 140 confirms the individual interest information classified by the user by the user, age, gender, and interest by the user from the user information 161 and then transmits the service information corresponding to the individual interest information to the device 200).

The service information providing unit 140 transmits a push notification including customized information for each user using the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) of the Apple IOS or the Google Cloud Message (GCM) of the Android OS to the device 200 ). The token ID is stored in the user information 161 of the database 160 in accordance with the information of the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the device 200.

The service information providing unit 140 generates a push message and transmits the push message only to users connected to the corresponding square. The device 200 can confirm the detailed information through the service information providing unit 140 with the received push message.

On the other hand, the service information providing unit 140 may provide beacon peripheral information, that is, event information, discount information, and the like of the shop where the beacon is installed, to the device 200 through the beacon terminal. The service information providing unit 140 may notify the beacon peripheral information to the device 200 located near the beacon terminal through a local notification function. Information about beacon surroundings can utilize voice, image, etc. to introduce a shop where a beacon is installed. When the device 200 is near the beacon terminal of the joined square, it may activate the bluetooth function and receive beacon periphery information through a notification message.

Beacons are low-power Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) technologies that provide short-range communication between IT devices. The beacon terminal sends out a specific ID value when a user having the device 200 arrives within the signal arrival distance of the beacon terminal. The device 200 recognizes the specific ID value received from the beacon terminal and transfers it to the service information providing unit 140. Then, the service information providing unit 140 provides beacon peripheral information to the device 200. Then, the user can confirm the event or service information set in the corresponding location through the device 200. [

In other words, the service information providing unit 140 identifies the beacon number using the UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier) of the device 200 near the beacon terminal, and confirms whether the device 200 is within the area of the beacon terminal . The service information providing unit 140 compares the beacon number with the value stored in the join information 154 of the database 160 and provides the beacon peripheral information to the device 200 through the internal notification function.

For example, when a user enters a store where a beacon terminal is installed, the beacon terminal can instantly send a store catalog to the user's device 200. This allows the user to go around a large store and shorten the time required to find the desired item. As another example, when the user determines a product to be purchased, the user can check the position of the product to be purchased through the device 200. In addition, when a user tries to purchase a specific branded product, the user can immediately access all information (color, name, delivery time, price, discount, earning point, matching interior design or similar products) .

In addition, the service information providing unit 140 may provide nearby coupon information that can be used immediately in the joined square to the device 200. The service information providing unit 140 can inform the device 200 located near the beacon terminal of the coupon information that can be used immediately by using a local notification function.

The join release unit 150 provides a release function of joining the specific time event virtual space according to the end time of the specific time event. At this time, the device 200 returns to the state before joining the join service provided in the specific time event virtual space.

On the other hand, the join releasing unit 150 provides a canceling function of joining for a specific square. That is, the join release unit 150 can check whether the device 200 is located within a radius of a specific square using the location information of the device 200. [ Then, the join release unit 150 cancels the joining of the specific square when the device 200 is out of the predetermined radius based on the position of the device 200. [ In addition, the join release unit 150 automatically informs the device 200 of the release of the join when releasing the join to the specific square.

More specifically, the join release unit 150 can operate as follows. First, the join release unit 150 checks the location information of the device 200 every predetermined period (e.g., one hour). The join release unit 150 maintains the joining state if there is a specific square within a predetermined radius based on the current position of the device 200. [ On the other hand, the join release unit 150 determines the position of the device 200 after a predetermined time (for example, five minutes) elapses if there is a certain square outside a predetermined radius based on the current position of the device 200 If there is still a certain square outside the predetermined radius based on the current position of the device 200, the joining function of the device 200 is canceled. The join release unit 150 provides a join release notification message to the device 200. [ When the join function for a specific square is canceled, the join releasing unit 150 deletes the join information stored in the specific square. The user can deactivate the join function by excluding a particular square on the square list associated with joining that is verified via the device 200. [

Similarly, the join release unit 150 provides a function of canceling the tour for a specific square. The join releasing unit 150 may not automatically perform the releasing function according to the position of the device 200 but may release the browsing function of the specific square according to the user's selection. The user can turn off the tour function by excluding certain squares from the square list associated with the tour identified through the device 200. [

5 is a diagram illustrating a method of providing a join service for providing a join service according to a specific time event according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The join service application connects to the join service providing server 100 and prepares a procedure for using the join service.

In addition, the join service providing server 100 generates a specific time event virtual space for providing a join service according to a specific time event (S201). Specific time events are generated by the event organizer.

Then, the join service providing server 100 exposes the specific time event virtual space through the device check process (i.e., the specific time check process, the personalization check process, and the online check process), and joins the corresponding device 200 (S202). At this time, the join service providing server 100 exposes a space (i.e., a space characteristic is not clear) that is a third virtual space related to a specific time event according to the spatial characteristic of the specific time event virtual space, Exposes the square associated with the event (i.e., if the spatial property is clear).

Then, the join service providing server 100 provides a joining service provided in the specific time event virtual space to the device 200 through joining (S203). At this time, the join service providing server 100 provides a personal authentication function for a specific time event virtual space or provides service information related to a specific time event virtual space to the device 200. [

Thereafter, the join service providing server 100 cancels joining of the specific time event virtual space according to the end time of the specific time event (S204). The join service providing server 100 may provide the device 200 with a browsing function for the specific time event virtual space after the specific time event is terminated.
