The location-based service displays restaurants and dates on map data centered on the user's location, introduces restaurants, and shows the location of other users located near the user on the map data, and connects with the user to chat. It may be a chat application that supports such services.

At this time, the application supported by the photo data display system 100 of the present invention does not simply display specific information including photo data on the map data in the form of dots or text, but considers the location information. Is displayed.

For example, when the first user terminal 10_1 transmits photo data and location information to the service device 20, the service device 20 maps and stores the photo data with pre-stored local image data corresponding to the location information. Thereafter, when another user terminal, that is, the second user terminal 10_2, executes the location-based service application supported by the photo data display system 100 of the present invention, the service device 20 is the second user terminal 10_2 ), and the mapped photo data corresponding to the location information near the location information of the second user terminal 10_2, for example, photo data previously transmitted by the first user terminal 10_1. Thereafter, the service device 20 may provide the photo data transmitted from the first user terminal 10_1 to the second user terminal 10_2 in a form combined with the map data.

The service device 20 supporting the above-described operation receives photo data and location information from a plurality of user terminals 10, and maps the received photo data with pre-stored local image data corresponding to the location information. Support. Here, the pre-stored area image data is any of a polygonal image corresponding to the area of each administrative district or a predefined map object image, for example, an image of various map objects that can be displayed on the map, such as roads and buildings, as described above. It can be mapped with one image data.

Thereafter, the service device 20 stores the mapped photo data or transmits the photo data to the corresponding user terminal according to the request of the user terminal 10 or another user terminal. At this time, when the map data is previously stored in the user terminal 10, only the mapped photo data may be transmitted. When the map data is not previously stored, the mapped photo data may be combined with the map data and transmitted.

In addition, the service device 20 may manage various service applications supporting the photo data display system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The service device 20 may provide various service applications according to the request of the user terminal 10 while storing various service applications in advance, and may distribute service applications through a company that services an application store.

Similarly, it is preferable that the user terminal 10 also downloads a service application supported by the service device 20 from the service device 20 or through an application store, and installs it in advance. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the user terminal 10 may use a service application supported by the service device 20 in a cloud service method, even if the service application is not provided in advance.

When describing each component in more detail, the communication unit 11 serves to support transmission/reception of the service device 20 and related information through the communication network 30, and in particular, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The communication unit 11 transmits one or more photo data and location information corresponding to the photo data to the service device 20 under the control of the control unit 14. In addition, the communication unit 11 may receive photo data from the service device 20 and mapping photo data to which regional image data corresponding to the location information of the photo data is mapped, or map data combined with the mapping photo data. have.

In addition, the communication unit 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention may receive information related to various service applications supported by the service device 20 and may transmit various information generated through the service application to the service device 20. .

The location information collection unit 12 supports the role of collecting location information in which photo data is generated.

The location information collection unit 12 may collect location information detected through a global positioning system (GPS) sensor module provided in the user terminal 10. In addition, the location information collection unit 12 of the present invention may collect location information in various ways other than the above-described GPS method. For example, by comparing the location information that can be detected using the mobile communication base station or the service cell ID of the mobile communication base station, the location information that can be detected by comparing the base station signal pattern and the pattern of the database, and the signal strength of WiFi Like location information that can be detected, location information on which photo data is generated can be collected in various ways.

Thereafter, the location information collection unit 12 transfers the collected location information to the control unit 14, and the control unit 14 controls the location information to be stored in the storage unit 15 in response to the photo data.

The camera unit 13 performs a role of generating photo data by taking a picture of a specific subject according to a user's request. The camera unit 13 takes a picture of a specific subject, a camera sensor (not shown) that converts the photographed optical signal into an electrical signal, and an image processing that converts an analog image signal photographed from the camera sensor into digital data. It may be configured to include a module (not shown). Here, the camera sensor (not shown) may be a CCD sensor, and the image processing module (not shown) may be implemented as a digital signal processor (DSP) or an image signal processor (ISP), and the camera sensor (not shown) and The image processing module (not shown) may be implemented as an integral or separate type.

The control unit 14 performs overall control of the user terminal 10, and may be an operating system (OS) and a process device that drives each component, for example, a central processing unit (CPU). have.

Such, the control unit 14 of the present invention is functionally connected to each component. That is, the control unit 14 is functionally connected to the communication unit 11, the location information collection unit 12, the camera unit 13, the storage unit 15, the input unit 16 and the display unit 17, and each of the above components It controls the flow of signals for supplying power to the element and performing functions.

The control unit 14 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may first generate photo data through the camera unit 13 according to a user's request. Thereafter, the control unit 14 collects the current location information through the location information collection unit 12 when generating the photo data, and controls the photo data and the location information to be stored in the storage unit 15 corresponding to the photo data.

In addition, the control unit 14 may control the photo data stored in the storage unit 15 to be transmitted to the service device 20 through the communication unit 11 according to a user request or when a specific application is executed.

Thereafter, the controller 14 may receive local image data and mapped photo data from the service device 20 through the communication unit 11, or may receive map data to which the mapping photo data is combined. When receiving the mapping photo data, the controller 14 may combine it with previously stored map data.

In addition, the control unit 14 of the present invention may receive photo data generated by another user through the service device 20. At this time, the controller 14 executes an application supporting a location-based service, and requests the service device 20 to receive current location information and map data corresponding thereto.

Upon receiving this, the service device 20 transmits map data near the location information of the user terminal 10 to the user terminal 10. In this case, mapping photo data previously stored in response to location information near the user terminal 10 is combined with the map data and provided together.

Through this, the user of the user terminal 10 can check not only photo data generated by the user but also photo data generated by other users on the map data.

In addition, the control unit 14 according to an embodiment of the present invention may control to be arranged and displayed according to a preset priority when a plurality of mapping photo data corresponding to specific location information exist. For example, when a user generates a plurality of photo data at a specific location, the controller 14 controls the mapping photo data corresponding to the location to be arranged and displayed according to a preset priority. In this case, the specific location may be a designated geographic location on the map data, and may also be a location corresponding to a designated administrative area.

Here, the preset priority may be a criterion such as generation information in which photo data is generated and information on the number of times of reading viewed by a user.

In addition, the number of mapping picture data corresponding to specific location information may vary according to the accumulation level, and the controller 14 may control the mapping picture data displayed according to the accumulation level to be arranged and displayed according to a preset priority. have.

In more detail, in general, the user can selectively adjust the accumulation level of map data displayed through the display unit 17. In other words, the accumulation level can be adjusted to display the entire map data of the Republic of Korea, and the accumulation level can be adjusted to display detailed map data of Guro 4-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul.

At this time, when receiving and storing a plurality of mapping picture data from the service device 20, the controller 14 checks the accumulation level that is changed according to the user's input, and stores the mapping picture data corresponding to the accumulation level. It can be controlled to be displayed in combination with map data.

In this case, the number of displayed picture data may vary according to the accumulation level. For example, the number of photographic data taken in Guro 4-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, may be 1, but the number of photographic data photographed in Guro-gu, Seoul, which is an administrative district including Guro 4-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, may be 10. If the currently displayed map data is the entire map data of the Republic of Korea, the control unit 14 does not classify the photo data according to the detailed administrative districts, such as photo data taken in Guro 4-dong, and photo data taken in Sindorim-dong. It will control to be displayed as the corresponding photo data. On the other hand, if the currently displayed map data is detailed map data of Guro 4-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, the control unit 14 controls the photo data to be displayed according to accurate location information. That is, as the accumulation level increases, the critical distance relating to the distance from the specific location determined to be picture data corresponding to the specific location to the generation location of the picture data may increase.

The control unit 14 controls the mapping photo data displayed according to the accumulation level to be arranged and displayed according to a preset priority.

In this case, when aligned and displayed, the controller 14 may display the number of mapping photo data on the upper mapping photo data, and control the display in a hierarchical manner according to the number of mapping photo data.

Thereafter, when a preset user input is detected through the input unit 16, the controller 14 may control the previous or next mapping picture data to be displayed. For example, when an input of [→] is detected through the input unit 16, the control unit 14 may control the display of the next mapping photo data, and when an input of [←] is detected, the previous mapping photo data is displayed. Can be controlled.

In addition, when the mapping photo data is changed, a preset effect can be displayed. For example, when the previous or next mapping photo data is changed and displayed according to a preset user input, the controller 14 is an animation in which a bird flies while the previous or next mapping photo data is moved from the current mapping photo data, and there are several places where butterflies are displayed. It controls the display of animations that are scattered by the display, and when the display of the previous or next mapping photo data is completed, an effect can be given to display an animation such as a bird landing at a specific location or a butterfly at a specific location. have.

In addition, the controller 14 may support to control the direction of the mapping photo data during display by combining the mapping photo data and the map data according to a user's input. For example, the mapping photo data and map data are combined and displayed through the display unit 17, and until the final completion button is input, the user can display the direction of the mapping photo data displayed through the display unit 17, that is, the clock. It is possible to modify the direction in which the mapping photo data is displayed in the direction or counterclockwise direction. Thereafter, when the final completion button is input, the controller 14 may store the currently displayed mapping picture data together with direction information on the map data.

In addition, the user may modify the direction of the mapping photo data combined and displayed on the map data at any time, and may delete the mapping photo data at any time.

On the other hand, when the map data is not previously stored in the storage unit 15, the control unit 14 may request the map data from the service device 20 and receive it in real time.

In addition, the control unit 14 according to an embodiment of the present invention describes as an example that generates photo data through the camera unit 13 and transmits the generated photo data to the service device 20, but is limited thereto. No, it is possible to use photo data generated from other terminals. In addition, the location information has been described as an example that the location information is collected through the location information collection unit 12 when the photo data is generated, but is not limited thereto and may be input from a user.

In addition, the control unit 14 can perform overall control related to the execution of the service application provided by the service device 20, and transmits various information generated when the service application is executed to the service device 20 through the communication unit 11 In addition, service application-related information received from the service device 20 may be received through the communication unit 11 and may be controlled to be displayed through the display unit 17.
