Description

How to provide travel services for solo travelers{METHOD FOR PROVIDING SOLO TRAVELING SERVICE}

The present invention relates to a method of providing a travel service for solo travelers, and provides a method of selecting a travel companion through personal information sharing and authentication step by step.

Recently, as the number of single-person households rapidly increases, it is emerging as a new trend in society, and the rate of increase in consumption of households living alone is relatively increasing, and they have a strong tendency to enjoy leisure alone, and prefer to travel or tourism as a desired leisure activity. Because of this, the demand for traveling alone is expected to increase in the future. At this time, research results have been published that singles reinforce their behavioral intentions through various negotiation strategies rather than giving up on travel due to restrictions when there are restrictions on solo travel. These are inherent, psychological, and structural for solo domestic and overseas travel. It feels a limitation in terms of aspects, but in order to overcome this, it makes efforts to negotiate such as searching for a partner, changing the visited area, and establishing a specific plan to implement the trip.

At this time, a method of sharing and recommending travel information was researched and developed. In this regard, Korean Patent Publication No. 2018-0055132 (published on May 25, 2018), a prior art, creates a tour plan customized for travelers, and A travel service server that provides metadata based on a travel service server, a traveler terminal that inputs travel plan and related information, and receives a tour plan and related metadata, and a traveler who makes detailed travel plans based on the tour plan and metadata provided from the travel service server. Includes a travel agency server that sends to the terminal and confirms transportation or accommodation for the tour plan, and travel plan data of input travel keywords and themes, the total travel period of tourists and the viewing time of points of interest (POI), and points of interest A configuration for generating and outputting at least one recommended course by calculating the travel time between (POIs) is disclosed.

However, the above-described configuration only discloses the configuration of general travel plans and information, and does not disclose the configuration of the travel service considering the above-described leisure constraints for single-person households or single families. At this time, leisure constraints refer to factors that limit or hinder satisfaction with individual preferences for leisure and leisure activities.In the hierarchical model of leisure constraints, intrinsic constraints based on individual subjective judgments and interpersonal constraints based on relationships with others , And structural constraints such as time, economic conditions, information, and facilities, but only when the inherent, interpersonal, and structural constraints are resolved in turn, participation in leisure is possible. Therefore, research and development of a travel platform in consideration of leisure constraints is required.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a traveler travels alone, personal information authentication and sharing are performed step-by-step in order to remove the inherent constraints of the instability of searching for companions, and a pre-search interface is provided for room sharing and cost reduction of accommodation facilities. By providing it, it eliminates personal and structural restrictions, and distributes and pays the travel expenses of travelers who have received the favourites through the favourite display platform, so that the exchange of the favourites and expenses can be achieved. It can provide a method of providing travel services for solo travelers. However, the technical problem to be achieved by the present embodiment is not limited to the technical problem as described above, and other technical problems may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention collects at least one step-by-step personal information from at least one tourist terminal to receive a registration request event, and Requesting authentication with at least one traveler terminal for the set essential authentication items, registering at least one traveler terminal by verifying the authentication data when authentication data is received from at least one traveler terminal, and at least one registered In the case of selecting at least one travel destination from the traveler terminal of, classifying at least one traveler terminal by travel destination, a meeting platform or accommodation facility that conducts a meeting by displaying the affinity between the opposite sex with at least one traveler terminal classified by travel destination. Selecting a shared roommate platform, when selecting a meeting platform or a roommate platform from at least one traveler terminal, discloses personal information of at least one traveler terminal classified by travel destination in at least one step to the other party or roommate of the meeting And, when the selection is completed, transmitting a notification of an available departure status of the travel product for each travel destination to at least one traveler terminal.

According to any one of the above-described problem solving means of the present invention, personal information authentication and sharing are performed step-by-step in order to remove the inherent limitation of the instability of searching companions when a traveler travels alone, and room sharing and cost reduction of accommodation facilities Interpersonal and structural constraints are solved by providing a preliminary search interface for the purpose of, and exchange of the like and expenses by distributing and paying the travel expenses of the travelers who received the likeness mark through the likeness display platform. By allowing this to be achieved, the emotional quality of travelers can be improved.

At this time, the personal information for at least one step is the first step personal information including photo, name, gender, date of birth, and nationality, the second step personal information including annual salary, education, occupation, blood type, height, and weight, and family relations. , Food preferences, hobbies, place of birth, and the third-level personal information, including unmarried, married and remarried, alcohol consumption, smoking amount, religion, personality, desired spouse occupation, desired spouse age, and purpose of participation. Step can include personal information. Here, the at least one step-by-step personal information is disclosed to the other party who has received the meeting or roommate request from the meeting platform or the roommate platform, but may be disclosed step by step according to the number of times the same person's meeting or roommate request is duplicated. In addition, the mandatory authentication items among the at least one step-by-step personal information may be authenticated with at least one personal information included in the passport information, graduation certificate, employment certificate, and family relationship certificate. Here, the requesting unit 310 may receive authentication data from the traveler terminal 100, but using a method of requesting and receiving the consent of the traveler from an agency that issues various certificates as an agent or an agency that directly issues them. May be.

When the authentication data is received from the at least one traveler terminal 100, the registration unit 320 may verify the authentication data and register the at least one traveler terminal 100. As described above, verification of the authentication data can be done by humans, but it can also be automatically verified by mutual comparison with an authentication document issued from a trusting authority or a certification issuing authority. If, in the case of falsely entering personal information, the registration unit 320 may identify the number of personal information inconsistencies in order to determine intention and register it as a blacklist to prevent or limit member registration.

The classification unit 330 may classify at least one traveler terminal 100 by travel destination when at least one travel destination is selected from the registered at least one traveler terminal 100. At this time, at least one traveler terminal 100 selects a travel destination, and can select up to 3 choices, and the higher the priority, the higher the weight, so that it is selected first. Of course, if the traveler has fixed the travel destination, consider only the fixed travel.

The sharing unit 340 may select a meeting platform for conducting a meeting or a roommate platform for sharing accommodation facilities by displaying the affinity between the opposite sex on at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination. The sharing unit 340, when selecting a meeting platform for conducting a meeting or a roommate platform for sharing accommodation facilities by displaying the affinity between the opposite sex on at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination, at least classified by travel destination A travel friend recommendation platform between one traveler terminal 100 may be selected.

When the meeting platform or the roommate platform is selected by the at least one traveler terminal 100, the selection unit 350 discloses personal information of the at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination in at least one step, Choose a partner or roommate. To this end, when the meeting platform is selected from at least one traveler terminal 100, the selection unit 350 selects at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination from at least one traveler terminal 100 When the indication is transmitted, the personal information of the traveler terminal 100 that has transmitted the likelihood indication from the at least one traveler terminal 100 that has received the likelihood indication can be controlled to be viewed in stages according to the number of times the likelihood indication is transmitted. . In addition, the selection unit 350 extracts at least one traveler terminal 100 that has received the likelihood indication, generates a list of meeting participants, and creates a meeting participant list with at least one traveler terminal 100 included in the meeting participant list. It is possible to apply the travel expenses discount benefit by selecting the traveler terminal 100 that has transmitted and received the most favorable indication.

When the roommate platform is selected by the at least one traveler terminal 100, the selection unit 350 includes at least one step-by-step personal information of the at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination in the at least one traveler terminal 100 The personal information of any one of the steps can be disclosed so that it can be viewed. And, when the roommate request event occurs in at least one traveler terminal 100, the selection unit 350 transmits a roommate request event to the traveler terminal 100 corresponding to the roommate selected by the at least one traveler terminal 100. I can deliver. In addition, when the traveler terminal 100 corresponding to the roommate accepts the roommate request, the selection unit 350 combines the traveler terminal 100 that transmitted the roommate request and the traveler terminal 100 that received the roommate request. Travel groups can be grouped together to finalize travel lists. In addition, the selection unit 350 may select the traveler terminal 100 that has received the most roommate request event and apply a travel expense discount benefit.

When the meeting platform or the roommate platform is selected by the at least one traveler terminal 100, the selection unit 350 discloses personal information of the at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination in at least one step, When selecting a counterpart or roommate, when a roommate is selected from the traveler terminal 100 in which the roommate is selected, a willingness to pay the accommodation cost may be selected. And, when the willingness to pay the accommodation cost is selected, the selection unit 350, when the willingness to pay the accommodation cost is selected, will pay the single charge of the accommodation facility with the traveler terminal 100 selected for the roommate and the accommodation facility fee of the traveler terminal 100 selecting the roommate. Can be transmitted. Therefore, when the requested person sees the single charge cost and uses a hotel or the like by himself, it reminds him of the amount to be paid additionally, so that the roommate decision can be made quickly.

When the selection is completed, the transmission unit 360 may transmit, to the at least one traveler terminal 100, a notification of a possible departure status of a travel product for each travel destination. In this case, an interface for changing the roommate or changing the likeness display of the meeting counterpart may be further provided even after whether the departure is possible.

The friend recommendation unit 370 allows the sharing unit 340 to select a meeting platform for conducting a meeting or a roommate platform for sharing accommodation facilities by displaying the affinity between the opposite sex to at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination. Thereafter, after calculating a preference using traveler attribute information of at least one traveler terminal 100 classified by travel destination, the traveler terminal 100 whose preference does not satisfy a preset reference value may be filtered. And, the friend recommendation unit 370 is a tourist terminal having a trajectory having a preset similarity to a trajectory of at least one tourist terminal 100 filtered using a matching technique and attribute information of an attraction previously mapped and stored in a travel destination. (100) can be extracted. Accordingly, the friend recommendation unit 370 may transmit friend recommendation between the extracted traveler terminals 100.

In general, a trajectory is a path that a traveler travels to a specific place, and POI refers to an area such as a movie theater or a museum that the traveler may be interested in. POI has information about each POI. Therefore, POIs exist within a specific radius based on a specific central location where POIs exist, and each POI has properties and attribute values according to its type and type. The POI type means what kind of location (or place) the POI is, and the POI type plays a role of distinguishing what kind of POI has passed by a traveler. In addition, these POIs have attribute values according to their types. For example, in the case of a movie theater, the size or price of the movie theater are factors that can affect the propensity of travelers. Since these attribute elements provide detailed information of the POI and affect the traveler's preference, the POI must reflect detailed attribute information to ensure accurate matching.

In order to calculate the traveler's preference, a POI trajectory is created that connects the POIs that each trajectory has passed.Each POI included in the POI trajectory is not included in the POI trajectory when simply passing the POI in the trajectory, but within the POI radius. It is included in the POI trajectory only when there is a trajectory above the threshold time. In addition, in order to calculate the attribute similarity to POI attribute information, a method of quantifying POI attribute information should be considered. However, there are cases that cannot be objectively quantified according to attributes, so attributes can be classified by type, and attribute similarity can be calculated for each type. When the POI has multiple attributes, attribute similarity is calculated for each attribute of the POI. Basically, the formula for calculating the attribute similarity regardless of the attribute calculates the attribute similarity for each type of traveler's POI trajectory. That is, the difference value is calculated by calculating the average value of the number of POIs for each attribute passed by the traveler. Accordingly, the determination of the attribute similarity may be determined to be similar when the difference between the attribute similarity value is less than or equal to the threshold value by comparing with the threshold value of the attribute similarity.

The trajectory similarity compares the POI trajectory, and in general, the traveler's trajectory has a different length than the trajectory to be compared. Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present invention, in order to compare the trajectory similarity, the trajectory to be compared is sequentially compared with the trajectory of the traveler by the same length. It is calculated whether the positions of the POI trajectories coincide, and if they coincide, a value of 1 is obtained. By sequentially comparing the lengths of these POI trajectories, the length of the POI trajectory having the largest value is obtained as the trajectory similarity value. The POI trajectory similarity is calculated by comparing the position of the POI trajectory, which calculates how similar the movement pattern of the POI trajectory to the recommended traveler and other travelers is. The trajectory recommendation uses the trajectory of travelers and POI data to recommend travelers similar to the traveler's preferences, and finally recommends the travelers of the POI trajectory in the candidate set as friends in sorted order. Of course, it will be apparent that various methods can be used as a method for recommending a travel companion, and not limited to the above-described method.

At this time, when friend matching is made between at least one traveler terminal 100 by recommending a friend, the method according to an embodiment of the present invention uses the information of at least one traveler terminal 100 with friend matching It can extract common interests and tastes and recommend attractions suitable for common interests and tastes. To this end, a traveler's personal preference may be identified by using the traveler's profile, search history, web traffic, and social media information, and a travel destination may be recommended and related information may be provided according to the preference. First of all, in order to provide a personalized recommendation service, traveler information is required. In addition to personal information for each stage already collected to determine traveler preferences, various social media information or web traffic can be further collected. At this time, weights are given according to the type of traveler preference information, but the influence of dynamic information recommendation is reduced over time, and similar words, related words, and duplicate words are processed when matching keywords to the ontology. Preference and preferences that change dynamically can be compositely reflected, and traveler profiles and traveler behavior patterns can be used. In addition, by reflecting the relatively static information provided by the traveler profile and the dynamic information determined by the traveler's behavior at the same ratio, not only static information but also dynamic information that changes according to the situation can be reflected. In addition, dynamic information, which is a weight within the behavior mode, can be given and reflected, and a preference weight ratio can be set differently for each collected source and reflected.

In order to reflect the decrease in the influence of the preference over time, the more recent the traveler searches for words in the ontology, the higher the weight can be placed on the preference. In this case, even if the same word is searched, the more recently searched, the greater the weight on the preference. Also, over time, this weight decreases and approaches zero. In the recommendation method, when matching a keyword with an ontology, a similar word and synonym matching algorithm may be used to match a synonym/similar word/related word with one word. For example, when the keyword Manchester United searches for ontology, it matches the value of Manchester United in the attribute value of Manchester United, a synonym. In addition, the related word Man United is inserted into the attribute value of Old Trafford, the stadium of Man United, so that all matches are made. In addition, in the case of must-visit destinations in the area, the required destination weights are used so that travelers are always recommended when running the application. For this, a weight of twice the highest recommendation value in the ontology is always assigned. In addition, the preference relationship between the node of the member database and the node of the destination ontology is inferred through a preference inference algorithm from information on the search word, search date, Facebook wall content, and web search word.

This inferred preference is reflected in the destination ontology. At this time, the node represents the object, the arrow represents the relationship between the objects, and the name of the arrow defines the relationship between the objects. Geographic information displays geographic information in the order of continent, country, and city, starting from the root node representing the earth, and the inclusion relationship of each node is connected by an arrow, and each city's famous node and base node are included. The famous node represents the major tourist spots or places of interest in the city, and the base node includes the major node nodes that are famous in the city. The famous node and the base node are classified into the following six categories (food, shopping, cultural properties, landmarks, accommodations, and essential travel destinations), but are not limited thereto. Each category represents a specific item (tourist destination, hotel, shopping mall, restaurant, etc.) as a node, and each node includes detailed information about the item.

Accordingly, the method according to an embodiment of the present invention creates a traveler node in the member database when a traveler signs up and logs in, and updates the ontology based on the traveler's category, web search history, and Facebook records. , For example, when a traveler searches for the London Eye through a browser, a preference value of an arrow connecting the London Eye node and the traveler node may increase. The preference value of the arrow connecting the traveler node with London, the UK, and Europe, which are the top nodes of the London Eye node, can also increase. A recommendation algorithm calculates a preference value using various preference information such as a user's category and Facebook record as well as a search, and recommends a travel destination preferred by a traveler using this value. At this time, the above-described ontology-based node matching is equally applicable to the meeting or roommate described above, and it will be apparent that various methods other than the above-described method can be used when recommending a travel destination.

Hereinafter, the operation process according to the configuration of the travel service providing server of FIG. 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 as an example. However, it will be apparent that the embodiment is only any one of various embodiments of the present invention, and is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 3, (a) the travel service providing server 300 collects and registers at least one step-by-step personal information, and all the information is included in the basic information that allows the traveler who is provided with the travel service to travel with an unknown person. Therefore, in order to relieve the safety and anxiety of travelers, an authentication system is introduced and a safe trip is made. At this time, the personal information in the first step is essentially authenticated using passport information, and it is disabled if authentication is not performed. Among the personal information in the second stage, annual salary, academic background, and occupation are authenticated through graduation certificate and employment certificate, and authentication marks are displayed after authentication through selective authentication. Among the personal information of the third step, the family relationship is authenticated with a family relationship certificate, and this also becomes an authentication mark after authentication through selective authentication. Among the personal information in the fourth step, whether marriage or remarriage, etc. is authenticated with a certificate of family relations, and if this is also authenticated by selective authentication, the authentication mark is made.

In (b), after self-authentication in the traveler terminal 100, attach a photo and pay the participation fee, the travel service providing server 300 allows the traveler to designate the travel destination, but prioritizes three Set it up. Of course, it is not limited to three, and a larger number of travel destinations may be designated, or a smaller number of travel destinations may be designated. In addition, the travel service providing server 300 receives a travel purpose, identifies the gender and age of participants by travel destination, and groups them, and when the travel destination is finally selected in the traveler terminal 100, a method of proceeding, that is, a meeting platform, is selected. You are chosen whether to use it or choose a roommate. In this case, although the two methods may be conditions connected by OR, they do not exclude connection by AND type.

(c) A method of selecting a traveler may be performed by firing (transmitting) a Cupid arrow (a favorable degree display) from the traveler terminal 100. For example, it may be possible to launch a total of 6 times, such as 3 times on the 1st day, 2 times on the 2nd day, and 1 time on the 3rd day.
