Here, the data updater 127 may update the exposure characteristics such that the priority of the search for a phone number having a missing number or a number of call attempts less than a preset threshold is lowered. In addition, the exposure characteristics may be updated so that the priority of exposure for a search for a phone number having a call success history is increased.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a POI management method performed by the POI management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the POI management method according to the embodiment includes the step of receiving call history data including call information for a phone call (S201).

The method further includes loading the POI data in which the POI and the phone number correspond to each other (S203).

In addition, according to a result of comparing the phone number included in the call history data and the phone number matched to the point of interest, determining or adjusting the exposure characteristics of the point of interest to the search (S205 to S209) is further included. . Here, by analyzing the call history data, the exposure characteristics may be adjusted so that the exposure priority for the search is lowered for a phone number that is displayed as a missing number or has a number of call attempts less than a preset threshold. In addition, by analyzing the call history data, it is possible to adjust the exposure characteristics so that the priority of exposure to a search for a phone number having a call success history is increased.

Next, the method further includes updating the POI data corresponding to the POI whose exposure characteristics are determined or adjusted ( S211 ). Here, the exposure characteristics may be updated so that the priority of the search for a phone number having a missing number or a number of call attempts less than a preset threshold is lowered. In addition, the exposure characteristics may be updated so that the priority of exposure for a search for a phone number having a call success history is increased.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a process of updating and managing the point of interest data by the call history/point of interest linkage system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

First, the call history management device 110 generates and manages call history data including call information for a phone call, and provides the call history data to the POI management device 120 . For example, the call history management device 110 may be implemented as a device for generating call detail record (CDR) data for billing in a wired communication switching system or a wireless communication switching system.

Here, the call history management apparatus 110 may generate call history data including a missing number list, a call attempt list, a call success list, etc. that can be generated based on the result of the telephone exchange process. Generates information of phone numbers whose phone subscriptions have been canceled from among the phone numbers being managed as a lost number list After a phone connection is attempted, information on the phone numbers made up to the final call is created as a call success list.

Next, the call history data provided by the call history management apparatus 110 is input through the call history input unit 121 of the POI management apparatus 120 and is transmitted to the processing unit 125 (S201).

Then, the processing unit 125 loads the POI data previously stored in the POI storage unit 123 . At this time, the POI and the phone number are matched to the loaded POI data (S203).

Then, the processing unit 125 compares the phone number included in the call history data with the phone number matched to the point of interest, and determines or adjusts the exposure characteristic of the point of interest to search according to the comparison result (S205). ).

For example, the processing unit 125 may compare the point-of-interest data with the call history data generated in units. Accordingly, among the phone numbers matched in response to the points of interest, a list of phone numbers detected only as a missing number on the same day, a list of phone numbers detected only as a successful call on the same day, and a call success while being detected as missing on the same day It is possible to create a list of phone numbers that have been made, a list of phone numbers with no call attempts on that day, a list of phone numbers in which the number of call attempts on that day is less than a preset threshold, and the like. Here, when generating a list of phone numbers with no call attempts on the same day, the list may be generated by extracting phone numbers in which fewer calls are attempted than once set as the threshold for the number of call attempts. In addition, it is possible to separately create an unstable list for phone numbers in which missing numbers and successful calls are circulated on the same day. For example, if the call history management device 110 is implemented as a billing device, the missing number and the successful call may be cycled according to a change in whether the caller pays the call fee or the receiver pays the call fee. In addition, while keeping a list of phone numbers with no call attempts on the same day, phone numbers detected as having no call attempts for several days may be separately created as inactive lists.

In addition, the processing unit 125 may adjust the exposure characteristics so that the priority of the search for a phone number displayed as a missing number in the call history data or having a call attempt number less than a preset threshold is lowered. For example, the processing unit 125 compares the missing number list and the phone numbers matched to the points of interest to find the phone numbers corresponding to the intersection, and for these, it determines the exposure priority as the lowest and is not exposed in the search. can prevent it In addition, the processing unit 125 finds phone numbers corresponding to the complement set of phone numbers matched in correspondence to the call attempt list and points of interest, and may lower the exposure priority for these (S207).

In addition, the processing unit 125 may adjust the exposure characteristics such that the priority of the search for a phone number having a call success history is increased. Here, even if the phone number is selected as non-exposed because it is included in the missing number list in the previous routine, when it is included in the subsequent call success list, the priority of exposure is increased so that it can be adjusted so that it can be exposed by searching (S209).

Next, the data updater 127 updates the exposure characteristics of the POI data corresponding to the POI whose exposure characteristics are determined or adjusted by the processing unit 125 among the POI data stored in the POI storage unit 123 , Save. Here, the data updater 127 may update the exposure characteristics such that the priority of the search for a phone number having a missing number or a number of call attempts less than a preset threshold is lowered. In addition, the exposure characteristics may be updated so that the priority of exposure for a search for a phone number having a call success history is increased (S211).

In this way, the POI data of which the exposure characteristic of the POI is updated by the data updater 127 may be provided for a location-based additional service such as a vehicle navigation device or an Internet search service.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, quality can be improved by linking the call history and the point of interest to increase the accuracy of the point of interest database. For example, since it automatically detects inaccurate data that cannot be connected by phone from among the points of interest included in the point of interest database, it is possible to reduce the operating cost for error detection while dramatically reducing the error data of the search service, thereby improving the search quality. .
