According to FIG. 3A, the device 100 may display various contact information on the display 120. For example, when one contact 310 of each contact is selected, the name “way” may be displayed, and the NFC tag-shaped UI 320 may be displayed. The NFC tag shape UI 320 corresponds to a UI for collecting location information of the specific device 200 corresponding to the “way”.

According to FIG. 3B, when the NFC tag-shaped UI 320 is selected, the device 100 may display a situation in which location information is requested to a specific device 200 corresponding to “drive”. In particular, the status bar 330 is displayed to display the progress of the current location information collection process, so that the current progress can be confirmed.

4 (a) and 4 (b) show screens of the specific device 200 providing location information.

According to FIG. 4A, the specific device 200 may display address information 410 of a web page. The address information 410 is address information of a web page generated by the web server 300 and corresponds to information for connecting to a web page for agreeing to provide location information of a specific device 200. The web page corresponds to a web page generated by the web server 300 at the request of the device 100.

As shown in FIG. 4B, when the address information 410 of the web page is selected, the location information 420 of the specific device 200 is displayed, and the acceptance display UI 430 may be displayed. Here, the location information 420 of the specific device 200 may be modified by the user.

In this case, the device 100 may input a user voice or photograph a user and attach the same to a message. In this case, the recipient-specific device 200 may identify the user and provide location information.

FIG. 8A illustrates a UI of a terminal providing location information when “SMS” of FIG. 7 is selected, and FIG. 8B illustrates a UI of a terminal providing location information when “A messenger” is selected. Indicates. When the location information is selected, the web server creates a web page.

9 (a) to 9 (c) illustrate screens for providing location information by a specific device 200 providing location information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 9A, the terminal 200 may adjust and input a position of the terminal 200 in detail through the screen. First, my location may be set on the current map using the “Move to My Location” menu, and when the “Move to My Location” menu is selected, a screen as shown in FIG. 9B may be displayed.

If a specific device 200 needs to input a detailed address, a specific address may be input in a detailed address input field 910B, and if “approval of providing location information” 920 is selected, the specific device 200 may provide a location information of the terminal 200. The agreement may be performed to share the location information of the specific device 200 with the device 100 through the web server 300.

However, the specific device 200 may share the location information only for a predetermined time even if a consent command for the location information is input.

On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when moving together as a group to receive the location information from the terminal serving as a reference point in real time for a predetermined time, the terminal serving as the reference point is continuously positioned within a given session rather than a one-time location request Information can be provided to a plurality of receiving terminals. In this case, since the reference terminal serving as the destination moves, the receiving terminals can easily track the reference terminal.

10 illustrates a method of driving the device 100 for route guidance based on contact information. First, when a consent command for providing location information is input, the device 100 may provide a route guidance service through the navigation device 1020 or the navigation application 1030.

According to FIG. 10, the device 100 may select a service and may select to support a route reflecting a real-time traffic condition.

11 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of driving the route guidance system 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment.

According to FIG. 11, the first device 100 selects a contact corresponding to the second device 200 from the contact information (S1110).

The first device 100 transmits a web page URL request for providing location information to the web server 300 (S1120).

The web server 300 responds to the web page URL for providing location information (S1130).

The provided web page URL may be provided after the authentication of the first device 100 is successful.

Next, the first device 100 transmits a request for providing location information including a URL to the second device 200 (S1140).

The message including the location information providing request may be accompanied by a user's voice or a photographed user's image.

The second device 200 requests a web page for providing location information (S1150), and the web server 300 responds to the web page for providing location information (S1160).

When the second device 200 confirms and approves the location information (S1170), the location information is automatically transmitted to the web server 300 (S1180A), and the web server 300 again transmits the location information to the first device. Transfer to step 100 (S1180B).

When the first device 100 is linked to the vehicle navigation device 400, the first device 100 may launch the vehicle navigation device 400 by setting the location information of the second device 200 as a destination in the vehicle navigation device 400. . NFC tagging may be required for automatic launch, but embodiments are not limited thereto.

In addition, the web server 300 may transmit that the location information of the second device 200 is provided to the first device 100 and the second device 200 and discard the content provided with the location information without storing the location information. .

In addition, according to the embodiment, the location information of the second device 200 received by the web server 300 may be received after being encrypted. For example, when the first device 100 sends the first encryption value of the first device 100 together with the message of step S1140, the second device 200 also sends the second device 200 to the location information server 300. Transmits a specific second cipher value of the second information, but locks the position information of the second device 200 with the first cipher value and the operation value of the second cipher value, and the position information server 300 determines the second device 200. The message including the location information of the second device 200 is transmitted to the first device 100 without knowing the location information of the second device 200, and the first device 100 is based on the received second password value and the first password value. The location information of the second device 200 may be recognized. According to this, the web server 300 may not know the location of the second device 200 may be more efficient for privacy protection.

Meanwhile, referring to the above-described step S1180A and S1180B, the location information server 300 has been described as providing the location information of the second device 200 as a function of a relay server, that is, a proxy server, but the second device 200 May directly provide location information to the first device 100. To this end, the second device 200 and the first device 100 runs a specific application driving program at a time when the second device 200 agrees to provide location information on a web page provided by the location information server 300. The location providing application of the second device 200 may be driven to provide location information by directly determining the time and the number of the location information of the second device 200 to the first device 100.

In addition, the first device 100 may directly request location information from the second device 200. For example, when the first device 100 transmits a message for requesting location information by driving an application, the second device 200 may display the consent message for providing location information as soon as the application is automatically received. have. In this case, when a user consent command is input, the second device 200 may automatically provide location information of the second device 200 to the first device. Here, the time and the number of the provided location information may be controlled by a user input, and the applications driven by the first device 100 and the second device may be the same application.
