In this case, the name of the caregiver (the caregiver in charge) within the institution in at least some information may mean the name of the caregiver (the caregiver in charge) who will actually perform (practice) the desired care service.

For example, in the long-term care service application information (the first long-term care service application information), 'bath service' is included as service type information of the desired long-term care service, and '2020 year' as the desired time information. Let's say 'June 25' is included. Also, it is assumed that a nursing institution 31 (a first nursing resource) is identified as the identified performable nursing resource.

In this case, when the performable care resource is a care institution when the performable care resource is identified, the identification unit 120 performs a desired care service within the care institution in addition to identifying the care institution (name of the care institution) as the performable care resource. I can identify the name of the caregiver who will do it. As an example, the identification unit 120 may further identify the name of the caregiver within the institution (name of the caregiver in charge) when the identified performable care resource is a care institution having an institution name of 'Daegu Dool Elderly Care Center'. In this case, let the name of the therapist in charge be A.

In this case, after identification of the available care resources is made, the schedule management unit 130 sets the schedule information corresponding to the care service application information (first care service application information) as the first schedule information as an example to the schedule DB 180 . can be registered and managed.

At this time, in the schedule DB 180, for example, information such as 'a caregiver at the elderly care center to help Daegu-June 25, 2020, will perform a care service corresponding to a bath service to the recipient' is the first schedule information. can be registered as

When schedule information (eg, first schedule information) is registered in the schedule DB 180 , the controller 140 may control so that a service application completion message reflecting the schedule information is displayed on the screen of the service application terminal 20 . . The controller 140 may control the operation of the service requesting terminal 20 . For example, the controller 140 may control the screen display of the screen of the service request terminal 20 . An example of the service request completion message may be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 4 .

4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display of a service request completion message provided on the screen of the service request terminal 20 by the device 100 .

Referring to FIG. 4 , the controller 140 displays a service application completion message corresponding to the care service application information on the screen of the service request terminal 20 in response to the reception of the care service application information received from the receiving unit 110 . can do. In this case, schedule information may be reflected (included) in the service request completion message.

As an example, the schedule information registered in the schedule DB 180 is information such as 'Kim Hyo-jin, a caregiver at the Daegu Dool Senior Care Center-June 25, 2020, will perform a nursing service corresponding to a bath service for recipients'. In this case, the service application completion message includes, for example, 'Application details: bath schedule for recipients, place of application: Daegu Dool Elderly Care Center, caregiver in charge: caregiver Kim Hyo-jin, reservation date: June 25, 2020, application time: June 23, 2020' Information may be included. Here, the reservation date may be the same information as the desired time information. Also, as an example, the service request completion message may include time information (application time information) at which the service request is completed.

In this way, after the service request completion message is provided, the device 100 based on the schedule information registered in the schedule DB 180, the service provision date included in the schedule information (this is the reservation date and desired time information) By a caregiver (for example, a caregiver in charge) corresponding to the available care resource for the corresponding date), it is possible to support the provision of the desired care service to the recipient 21a included in the care service application information. .

That is, the device 100 can help (support) the provision of a care service (desired care service) to the recipient 21a, and accordingly, the recipient 21a can use the device 100 to provide a care service ( desired nursing service). In this case, the recipient 21a may be provided with a nursing service by, for example, the recipient 21a visiting a location (place) of a nursing resource, which is a nursing institution, or a caregiver related to the care resource (that is, a caregiver or an individual in a nursing institution) A caregiver) may receive a care service by visiting the location of the place where the recipient 21a resides (for example, the recipient's home, etc.). That is, the recipient 21a may receive the care service through a visit to a care institution, or may receive the care service by a caregiver who visits the home.

On the other hand, the schedule management unit 130 after the registration of the schedule information (after registering the schedule information in the schedule DB), the remaining days until the service provision date (ie, the reservation date, the date corresponding to the desired time information) included in the schedule information. When the remaining days remain by the preset remaining days by checking , a schedule notification message related to schedule information may be provided on the screen of a schedule related terminal related to schedule information.

In this case, the preset remaining days may be, for example, 3 days, but is not limited thereto, and the number may be variously set (changed). In addition, in the present specification, as an example, the preset remaining days have been exemplified as being set in units of days (DAY), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be set in units of hours, minutes, seconds, and the like.

In addition, the schedule-related terminal related to the schedule information may include, for example, the recipient's terminal 21 of the recipient 21a that provides the desired nursing care service, and the terminal of the caregiver in charge. However, it is not limited thereto, and if the generation of schedule information is generated by the care service application information applied by the guardian 22a of the recipient 21a, the schedule-related terminal may further include the guardian terminal 22 there is.

When the schedule management unit 130 does not respond to the schedule notification message from the schedule related terminal within a preset time after the schedule notification message is provided (that is, after the schedule notification message is provided on the screen of the schedule related terminal), Control to change the notification properties of the schedule notification message can be performed.

Here, the preset time may be, for example, 15 minutes. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the preset time unit may be variously set to minutes, seconds, hours, days, and the like, and a numerical value of the preset time may be variously set.

The schedule manager 130 may provide a schedule notification message to a schedule-related terminal by using at least one notification means among a plurality of types of notification means including vibration, light, sound, and telephone (ARS).

In this case, when the notification means is vibration, the schedule management unit 130 may change at least one of the intensity of vibration, the duration of the vibration, the number of vibrations, and the vibration pattern as notification properties of the schedule notification message. For example, when the notification means is light, the schedule manager 130 may change at least one of the brightness (intensity) of the light, the light providing time, and the light emission pattern as notification properties of the schedule notification message. In addition, when the notification means is sound and phone (ARS), the schedule management unit 130 may change at least one of sound intensity, sound generation time, and sound generation pattern as notification properties of the schedule notification message.

Here, when the notification means is vibration, the schedule management unit 130 may control the operation of the vibrator (not shown) of the schedule-related terminal to notify the user of the schedule-related terminal with vibration that the schedule notification message is provided. When the notification means is optical, the schedule manager 130 may control the operation of a light emitting unit (not shown) of the schedule-related terminal to notify the user of the schedule-related terminal with light that the schedule notification message is provided. When the notification means is sound, the schedule management unit 130 controls the operation of the speaker unit (not shown) of the schedule-related terminal to notify the user of the schedule-related terminal by sound (sound through the speaker unit) that the schedule notification message is provided. can When the notification means is a telephone (ARS), the schedule management unit 130 may control to make a call to the schedule-related terminal to notify the user of the schedule-related terminal that the schedule notification message is provided by ARS.

When the schedule management unit 130 does not respond to the schedule notification message within a preset time (ie, a response corresponding to a signal that the user of the schedule-related terminal confirms the provided schedule notification message), the notification attribute of the schedule notification message can be controlled to change from the first notification attribute to the second notification attribute. Here, the second notification attribute may refer to a type in which the intensity (strength) is relatively strong or the time is set longer than that of the first notification attribute.

As described above, the user of the schedule-related terminal herein may mean the recipient 21a and the caregiver in charge, and may additionally mean the guardian 22a.

For example, it is assumed that the notification means of the schedule notification message is vibration. In this case, when a response to the schedule notification message is not made within a preset time, the schedule manager 130 may change the vibration intensity as an example of a notification attribute from the first vibration strength to a second vibration strength stronger than that. As another example, it is assumed that the notification means of the schedule notification message is a sound. At this time, when a response to the schedule notification message is not made, the schedule management unit 130 sets the sound generation time as an example as a notification attribute, and a second generation time (eg 5 seconds) longer than the first generation time (eg 5 seconds). 10 seconds) can be changed.

As such, when the schedule management unit 130 does not respond to the schedule notification message within a preset time (ie, a response corresponding to a signal confirmed by the user of the schedule related terminal to the provided schedule notification message), the schedule related terminal Recognizing that the user has not checked the schedule notification message, a control can be performed to change the notification property of the schedule notification message from the first notification property to a second notification property having a stronger or longer time than that .

In the above-described example, when the schedule management unit 130 does not respond to the schedule notification message, it is exemplified as changing the notification property of the schedule notification message, but is not limited thereto, and the notification property and/or notification means A control to change at least one of them may be performed.

In this case, when the notification means is changed, it may be changed to a more easily recognized type of notification means among a plurality of types of notification means (eg, vibration, light, sound, phone). Here, the more easily recognizable type of notification means may be, for example, light, vibration, sound, and a phone call, but is not limited thereto.

That is, in the schedule management unit 130, for example, the notification means of the schedule notification message is currently set to light, and in this case, when a response to the schedule notification message is not made within a preset time after the provision of the schedule notification message, the notification means can be controlled to change from light to vibration. If the currently set notification means is vibration, the schedule management unit 130 may change from vibration to sound when the notification means is changed. In addition, when the currently set notification is a sound, the schedule management unit 130 may change the notification means from the sound to the telephone ARS when the notification means is changed.

As such, when the schedule management unit 130 does not respond to the schedule notification message, by changing the notification means to a more easily recognizable type notification means, delivery of the schedule notification message to the user of the schedule-related terminal is more accurate. It can be provided to be (certainly) done.

That is, the schedule management unit 130 changes at least one of a notification property and a notification means when a response to the schedule notification message is not made within a preset time, so that the user of the schedule-related terminal is provided by the schedule management unit 130 . It can help you to check and recognize the scheduled reminder message more clearly.

When the schedule management unit 130 is in a state in which the change of the notification property is no longer possible (for example, the current vibration intensity is the maximum vibration If the intensity or the vibration providing time is the maximum vibration providing time, so it is no longer possible to change it to a value larger than that), the notification property may be changed secondary.

For example, when the schedule management unit 130 provides a schedule notification message through vibration and a response is not made within a preset time period, a preset change period (eg, one minute period) with the vibration intensity as an example. After gradually increasing each time, when it is no longer possible to change the vibration intensity to a large value, a control may be performed to change the notification means from vibration to a more easily recognized type of sound. In addition, after changing the notification means to sound and providing the schedule notification message as sound through the speaker unit of the schedule-related terminal, if a response is not made within a preset time, the schedule management unit 130 sets the intensity of the sound in advance as an example. After gradually increasing strongly at every set change period (eg, every 5 minutes), if it is no longer possible to change the sound intensity to a large value, the notification means is changed from sound to a more easily recognizable type of telephone (ARS). Control may be performed, and accordingly, a schedule notification message may be provided through a telephone (ARS).

In this way, the device 100 changes at least one of the notification property and the notification means until the user of the schedule related terminal responds thereto after the schedule notification message is provided, so that the schedule notification message is sent to the user of the schedule related terminal more It can be delivered effectively (that is, to ensure that the user is provided with an event notification message more clearly).

Recipient management unit 150 after the transmission of the service application completion message is made (that is, after the service application completion message is provided to the service application terminal), information about the recipient 21a receiving the desired care service recipient DB (190) can be stored and managed.

In this case, the information about the recipient 21a stored in the recipient DB 190 may include recipient information and health status information. Here, the beneficiary information is personal information of the recipient 21a for which the desired care service is provided as described above, and for example, at least one of a serial number (unique number information), name, and age of the recipient 21a may be included. . The health status information of the recipient 21a may mean information related to the health status of the recipient 21a. As an example, the health state information may include a pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may include various health-related information.

The health status information of the recipient 21a may be obtained from, for example, a wearable device worn on a body part of the recipient 21a. According to this, the recipient management unit 150 may obtain, in real time, the shoulder state information of the recipient 21a from the wearable device worn on the body part of the recipient 21a, store it in the recipient DB 190, and manage it.

As another example, the health status information of the recipient 21a may be obtained by a caregiver who has provided a nursing service to the recipient 21a using a separate health status measuring device (for example, a blood pressure measuring device, a body temperature measuring device, a pulse measuring device, etc.). It may be obtained by measuring.

When the receiving unit 110 receives a health condition information provision request signal requesting the provision of health condition information of the recipient 21a from the service application terminal 20, the receiving unit 110 receives the recipient DB 190 based on Health status information of the recipient 21a may be displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 . When receiving the health state information provision request signal, the controller 140 transmits the health state information of the recipient 21a pre-stored in the recipient DB 190 in relation to the recipient 21a corresponding to the health state information provision request signal to the recipient. It can be extracted from the DB (190) and displayed on the screen of the service request terminal (20). This can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 5 .

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display of health status information provided on the screen of the service requesting terminal 20 by the device 100 .

Referring to FIG. 5 , the apparatus 100 may provide a consultation function as an example, and may display a screen as shown in FIG. 5 on the service requesting terminal 20 for consultation.

At this time, suppose that the service application terminal 20 is the guardian terminal 22 . When the guardian 22a wants to know the health status information of the beneficiary recipient 21a, for example, the guardian terminal 22, which is the service application terminal 20, enters a message such as 'I want to know the current health status of the recipient' can do. At this time, the controller 140 recognizes a message such as 'I want to know the current health status of the recipient' input to the service application terminal 20 as a health status information provision request signal for requesting information on the health status of the recipient, In response, the health status information of the recipient 21a stored in the recipient DB 190 may be displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 . The control unit 140 may be, for example, 'The current status of the recipient of Kim oo is good. Pulse 85 beats, body temperature 36.2 degrees. Information such as blood pressure 132mmHg' may be displayed on the screen of the service requesting terminal 20 as health status information.

According to this, whenever a health status information provision request signal is received from the service application terminal 20, the recipient management unit 150 responds to the current real-time health status information of the recipient 21a (which includes pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc.) The same biometric information and information about the level of the condition (good, dangerous, etc.) can be provided. This device 100 can provide so that even if the guardian is not with the beneficiary (eg, parents) and is far away, it is possible to check (check) the health status of the beneficiary in real time regardless of the place, anytime, anywhere. .

In addition, the controller 140 may control the service request terminal 20 to display the [Current Recipient Status] menu on one area of the screen of the service request terminal 20, for example. At this time, when the service applicant (for example, a guardian) selects input for [current beneficiary status], the control unit 140 provides information about the current recipient status of the recipient 21a as an example of the information shown in FIG. It can be displayed on the screen of the service request terminal (20).

In this case, the information on the current beneficiary status displayed on the screen may include the health status information of the recipient 21a described above, for example, and real-time activity and salary information. At this time, the real-time activity and salary information includes the type of activity (eg, meal, medication, physical therapy, etc.), the time of the activity, and detailed information of the activity (eg, when the type of activity is a meal, meal menu information, etc.) ) may be included. Real-time activity and pay information can be displayed in chronological order.

According to this, the guardian 22a receives activity information such as what kind of activity the recipient 21a is currently doing and what kind of activity is planned to be performed in the future, through the real-time activity and salary information provided by the control unit 140 . You can check (check) in real time.

The recipient management unit 150 may include a life monitoring unit 151 . When a plurality of cameras for photographing an indoor space are installed in the indoor space in which the recipient 21a lives, the life monitoring unit 151 monitors the indoor space life of the recipient 21a with images obtained from the plurality of cameras. As monitoring image information, it can be stored and managed in the image DB 195 . That is, the life monitoring unit 151 may acquire an image photographed by each of the plurality of cameras from the plurality of cameras, store it in the image DB 195 as monitoring image information, and manage it.

The plurality of cameras may refer to cctv installed at a place (eg, the recipient's home, etc.) where the recipient 21a resides in order to observe, monitor, and monitor the life of the recipient 21a. The number of the plurality of cameras may be variously set.

When the service application terminal 20 is the guardian terminal 22 and a request for providing image information related to the provision of monitoring image information is made from the guardian terminal 22, the control unit 140 includes monitoring image information stored in the image DB 195 At least some of the monitoring image information may be provided to the guardian terminal 22 .

Hereinafter, in performing the description of the life monitoring unit 151, the service application terminal 20 will be described assuming that the guardian terminal (22).

A more detailed description of the life monitoring unit 151 is as follows. The life monitoring unit 151 may provide a selection menu to the guardian terminal 22 . Also, the life monitoring unit 151 may control the operation of each of the plurality of cameras.

When a request for providing image information is received from the guardian terminal 22, the life monitoring unit 151 responds to at least a partial region of the first image obtained through the first camera among a plurality of cameras installed in an indoor space, for example. When there is a second camera that acquires the second image included in the overlapping area, a first selection menu for selecting whether to receive the extended image including the first image may be provided to the guardian terminal 22 . That is, the life monitoring unit 151 may provide the first selection menu to be displayed on the screen of the guardian terminal 22 . A description thereof may be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 7 .

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an example of providing an extended image of a first image provided through the life monitoring unit 151 of the device for providing care services 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 7 , as an example, a region ( Let r) exist. That is, as an example, it is assumed that a camera that acquires an image I2 including at least a partial region of the first image I1 as an overlapping region r is a second camera. In other words, when the second camera acquires the second image I2, for example, the second image I2 is obtained so that at least a partial region r of the first image I1 acquired through the first camera overlaps. Suppose we get

In this case, when a request for providing image information is received, the life monitoring unit 151 includes at least a partial region of the first image I1 obtained through the first camera among the plurality of cameras as the overlapping region r. It may be checked whether a second camera that acquires the image I2 exists. As a result of the confirmation, since the second camera acquires the image I2 so as to overlap at least a partial region r of the first image I1, the life monitoring unit 151 displays the extended image including the first image I1. A first selection menu for selecting whether to be provided may be provided to the guardian terminal 22 .

In this case, when it is selected to receive the extended image in response to the provision of the first selection menu (that is, when selection input information for receiving the extended image from the guardian terminal is received in response to the provision of the first selection menu), The controller 140 may provide the extended image of the first image including the first image I1 and the second image I2 as at least a part of monitoring image information to the guardian terminal 22 .

In this case, the provided extended image of the first image may be an image corresponding to the remaining region s from which the overlapping region r is excluded from the second image I2 and an image including the first image I1 . .

That is, the extended image of the first image provided through the controller 140 is not an image generated by simply adding the entire second image I2 to the first image I1 , but rather the first image I1 . It may refer to an image generated by adding only the second image I2 corresponding to the remaining region s except for the overlapping region r overlapped with the first image I1 among the two images I2 .

According to this, when the device 100 provides (transmits) the extended image of the first image to the guardian terminal 22, it is included in any one of the two images considered when generating the extended image of the first image. An extended image may be generated and provided (transmitted) in a state in which the overlapping area (ie, the overlapping area overlapping each other between the two images) is removed.

To this end, although not shown in the drawings, the life monitoring unit 151 may include an image editing unit (not shown) for generating an extended image.

The image editing unit (not shown) generates an extended image of the first image including the first image I1 and the second image I2 when it is selected to receive the extended image in response to the provision of the first selection menu. can In this case, as described above, the image editing unit (not shown) may leave only one of the plurality of overlapping areas with respect to the overlapping area and may remove the remaining overlapping areas. Based on this, the image editing unit (not shown) performs image editing that connects the second image I2 and the first image I1 including only the remaining region s from which the overlapping region is removed (excluded) into one image. By doing so, an extended image of the first image may be generated.

In addition, the image editing unit (not shown) may perform image editing for generating an alternative image using an overlapping image acquisition camera in a description to be described later. A detailed description will be given later.

The life monitoring unit 151 may store all the images obtained from each of the plurality of cameras in the image DB 195, but preferably, when it is possible to obtain an extended image by photographing an area in which some of the plurality of cameras overlap each other may store an expanded image edited through an image editing unit (not shown). Accordingly, the extended image may be provided to the guardian terminal 22 .

This device 100 generates and stores an extended image with the overlapping region removed, and provides it to the guardian terminal 22, thereby preventing unnecessary image acquisition (or storage of unnecessary image in the image DB 195). and reduce memory usage. Here, the memory may mean a memory corresponding to the image DB 195, but is not limited thereto, and may mean a memory of the guardian terminal 22 that receives the extended image.

In addition, the life monitoring unit 151 includes a second camera for acquiring a second image including at least a partial region of the first image acquired through the first camera as an overlapping region among the plurality of cameras, and When it is impossible to obtain the first image, a selection menu for selecting whether to receive an alternative image of the first image (this is referred to as a second selection menu for convenience of description below) may be provided to the guardian terminal 22 . .

Here, the state in which the acquisition of the first image is impossible means, for example, when the first camera breaks down or when a communication error occurs with respect to the network through which the first image is transmitted (ie, when the state of the network is not good), etc. This may mean a case in which the apparatus 100 cannot acquire (receive) the first image for the reason of .

At this time, when the life monitoring unit 151 is selected to be provided with an alternative image in response to the provision of the selection menu (the second selection menu) (that is, in response to the provision of the second selection menu, the first image from the guardian terminal) When selection input information to be provided with an alternative image of is received), a second camera that captures an area overlapping the first image (at least partially overlapping area) acquires an alternative image of the first image, 2 You can control the angle of the camera.

In this case, the life monitoring unit 151 determines the size of the overlapping area r overlapping between the first image I1 and the second image I2 before controlling the angle of the second camera as a reference (ie, the angle of the camera). Based on the size of the overlapping area before control), the angle of the second camera may be controlled in a direction in which the size of the overlapping area r overlapping between the first image I1 and the second image I2 becomes larger. .

According to this, for example, when the size of the overlapping region r in the second image I2 acquired through the second camera before the angle control of the second camera is performed is the first size, the angle of the second camera The size of the overlapping area in the second image acquired through the second camera after the control is performed may be a second size larger than the first size. In this case, the second image acquired through the second camera after the angle control of the second camera is performed is an image in which the angle of the captured image is changed by the angle control of the second camera compared to before the angle control, and the angle change image (particularly, the angle change second image) may be referred to.

Thereafter, the controller 140 may provide the angle change image (particularly, the angle change second image) obtained from the second camera to which the angle control is performed to the guardian terminal 22 as an alternative image of the first image I1 . . That is, the controller 140 may use the angle change image obtained from the second camera with angle control as a replacement image for the first image and provide it to the guardian terminal 22 as at least a part of monitoring image information. This can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 8 .

8 is a view for explaining an angle change image obtained by angle control of a second camera in the apparatus 100 for providing a nursing service according to an embodiment of the present application. This description may be described in comparison with FIG. 7 .

7 and 8 , when the life monitoring unit 151 is in a state in which acquisition of the first image I1 from the first camera is impossible, the second selection for selecting whether to be provided with an alternative image of the first image A menu may be provided to the guardian terminal 22 .

When it is selected to receive the alternative image in response to the provision of the second selection menu, the life monitoring unit 151 overlaps the first image I1 and the second image I2 before controlling the angle of the second camera Based on the size of the overlapping area r, the angle of the second camera may be controlled in a direction in which the size of the overlapping area overlapping between the first image I1 and the second image I2 increases.

According to this, the size of the overlapping area r' in the angle change image (angle change second image) I2' acquired through the second camera after the angle control of the second camera is performed, that is, the first image I1 ) and the overlapping area r' may be larger than the size of the overlapping area r in the second image I2 before the angle control of the second camera is performed.

Thereafter, the controller 140 converts the angle change image (in particular, the angle change second image) I2 ′ obtained from the second camera with angle control to the guardian terminal 22 as a replacement image for the first image I1 . can provide Here, the replacement image of the first image I1 provided to the guardian terminal 22 may be referred to as at least part of monitoring image information.

In this device 100, the guardian terminal 22 requested the provision of an image obtained through the first camera as an image information provision request, but the image requested by the guardian (ie, the image corresponding to the image information provision request) Even for a situation in which the first image of the first camera) cannot be provided to the guardian terminal 22, the angle of the camera (for example, the second camera) for photographing an area that at least partially overlaps with the corresponding image (the first image) By controlling the angle-controlled camera (second camera) to obtain a replacement image for the first image can be provided to the guardian terminal (22).

That is, even in a situation where the guardian terminal 22 cannot provide the requested first image, the device 100 may provide an image similar to the corresponding first image (alternative image) through angle control of another camera. In other words, when the guardian terminal 22 transmits a request for providing image information for receiving an image obtained through one camera (first camera) as an example among a plurality of cameras, in this case, the device 100 performs the first When it is impossible to obtain the first image from the camera, an alternative image of the image similar to the first image may be obtained by controlling the angle of another camera and provided to the guardian terminal 22 . This device 100 can be provided so that the guardian can monitor the recipient's indoor space life without missing more.

In addition, the life monitoring unit 151 is configured to, when there are a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras for acquiring an image including at least a partial region of the first image as an overlapping region within the plurality of cameras, the first image (the first image of the first camera). The angle of at least some of the plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras may be selectively controlled in order to acquire an alternative image of the image).

In this case, when the number of combinations (the number of combinations) of at least some cameras selectively controllable among a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras in order to acquire an alternative image of the first image is plural, the controller 140 controls the The angle may be controlled by selecting at least some cameras corresponding to the combination with the minimum number. This can be more easily understood with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 .

9 to 11 are diagrams for explaining an example of controlling an angle of a selective overlapping image acquisition camera for acquiring an alternative image in the device 100 for providing a nursing service according to an embodiment of the present application.

9 to 11 , illustratively as shown in FIG. 9 , a camera that acquires an image so that at least a partial region of a first image I1 acquired through the first camera overlaps among a plurality of cameras Assume that there are three (that is, the second to fourth cameras exist).

Here, the second camera acquires the second image I2 to include an overlapping region r1 that overlaps with at least a partial region of the first image I1 , and the third camera uses at least another of the first image I1 Obtain the third image I3 to include the overlapping region r2 overlapping the partial region, and the fourth camera to include the overlapping region r3 overlapping with another at least partial region of the first image I1 Assume that a fourth image I4 is acquired.

At this time, when the guardian terminal 22 is in a state in which it is impossible to obtain the requested first image I1 of the first camera (that is, the guardian terminal requests the first image of the first camera through the image information provision request, but the When the device cannot provide the first image to the guardian terminal), the life monitoring unit 151 displays a second selection menu for selecting whether to receive an alternative image of the first image I1 to the guardian terminal 22 ) can be provided.

Assume that, in response to the provision of the second selection menu, an input has been made for the guardian terminal 22 to select an alternative image of the first image I1 to be provided. That is, when a response that a replacement image of the first image I1 is provided is received from the guardian terminal 22 , the life monitoring unit 151 overlaps at least a partial region of the first image I1 in the plurality of cameras as an overlapping region. It may be determined whether there is an overlapping image acquisition camera that acquires an image including

In this case, it is assumed that there are overlapping image acquisition cameras in the plurality of cameras, and a plurality of such overlapping image acquisition cameras exist. Here, according to the example shown in FIG. 9 , the plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras include a second camera acquiring a second image I2 , a third camera acquiring a third image I3 , and a fourth image I4 . It may mean a fourth camera that acquires .

As such, in providing an alternative image of the first image I1, for example, when a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras (second camera to fourth camera) exist in a plurality of cameras, the life monitoring unit 151 may Angles of at least some of the plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras (the second camera to the fourth camera) may be selectively controlled in order to acquire an alternative image of the first image I1 .

In this case, as shown in FIG. 10 , for example, the controller 140 may control the angles of the second camera and the third camera in order to obtain an alternative image of the first image I1 . In this case, the life monitoring unit 151 provides an angle change image (angle change second image, I2') through a second camera with angle control and an angle change image (angle change third image) through a third camera with angle control. image, I3') can be acquired (received). Thereafter, the image editing unit (not shown) in the above-described life monitoring unit 151 may include at least the angle change image (angle change second image, I2') of the second camera obtained based on the first image I1. An alternative image of the first image I may be acquired (generated) by combining a partial region with at least a partial region of the acquired angle-changed image (angle-changed third image, I3') of the third camera.

Specifically, the image editing unit (not shown) configures the first image corresponding to the overlapping area r1'' that overlaps the first image I1 in the angle-changed image (angle-changed second image, I2') of the second camera. Extracting a partial image, and extracting a second partial image corresponding to the overlapping region r2'' overlapping the first image I1 within the angle-changed image (angle-changed third image, I3') of the third camera can do. Thereafter, the image editing unit (not shown) may acquire (generate) a replacement image of the first image I by connecting (combining) the extracted first partial image and the second partial image.

Also, as another example, as shown in FIG. 11 , the life monitoring unit 151 may control the angles of the second camera, the third camera, and the fourth camera to obtain an alternative image of the first image I1 . there is. In this case, the life monitoring unit 151 provides an angle change image (angle change second image, I2'') through the second camera with angle control and an angle change image (angle change first image) through a third camera with angle control. It is possible to acquire (receive) the angle-changed image (the fourth angle-changed image, I4'') through the third camera, I3'') and the angle-controlled fourth camera.

Thereafter, the image editing unit (not shown) in the life monitoring unit 151 , at least a portion of the angle change image (angle change second image, I2'') of the second camera obtained based on the first image I1 . At least a partial area of the area and the acquired angle change image of the third camera (angle change third image, I3'') and at least a partial area of the angle change image (angle change fourth image, I4'') of the fourth camera By combining them with each other, it is possible to acquire (generate) an alternate image of the first image I.

Specifically, the image editing unit (not shown) corresponds to the overlapping area r1''' overlapping the first image I1 in the angle-changed image (angle-changed second image, I2'') of the second camera. The first partial image is extracted, and the second corresponding to the overlapping region r2''' overlapping the first image I1 within the angle-changed image (angle-changed third image, I3'') of the third camera. The partial image is extracted, and the third partial image corresponding to the overlapping region r3''' overlapping the first image I1 within the angle-changed image (angle-changed fourth image, I4'') of the fourth camera. can be extracted.

Thereafter, the image editing unit (not shown) may acquire (generate) a replacement image of the first image I by connecting (combining) the extracted first partial image, second partial image, and third partial image.

In this case, as in the example of FIG. 10 , an example of obtaining an alternative image through angle control of two cameras (a second camera and a third camera) may be referred to as an example of the first case. Also, as in the example of FIG. 11 , an example of obtaining an alternative image through angle control of three cameras (second camera to fourth camera) may be referred to as an example of the second case.

According to this, when there are a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras (second camera to fourth camera) in the plurality of cameras, the life monitoring unit 151 is, for example, a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras ( The second camera to the fourth camera) may be selectively obtained by controlling the angles of the second camera and the third camera, respectively, or, as another example, as in the second case, a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras (Second camera to fourth camera) By selectively controlling the angles of the second camera to the fourth camera, respectively, it is possible to obtain an alternative image.

According to this example of the present application, in the device 100, the number of combinations (the number of combinations) of at least some cameras selectively controllable among a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras is two (the first two cases including an example of the case and an example of the second case). That is, according to an example of the present application, it can be said that the number of combinations of at least some selectively controllable cameras is a total of two including the example of the first case and the example of the second case.

As such, when the number of combinations (the number of combinations) of at least some cameras that are selectively controllable among a plurality of overlapping image acquisition cameras to acquire an alternative image is plural, the life monitoring unit 151 determines that the number of controlled cameras is the minimum. The angle may be controlled by selecting at least some cameras corresponding to the combination of .

In the example of the first case, the number of cameras controlled to acquire the replacement image may be two, whereas in the example of the second case, the number of cameras controlled to acquire the replacement image may be three. In this case, since the number of cameras controlled to acquire the replacement image is smaller in the first case than in the second case, the life monitoring unit 151 is controlled as an example, as in the example of the first case among the two cases. By selecting the second camera and the third camera as at least some cameras corresponding to the combination in which the number of cameras is minimized, and controlling the angles of the second camera and the third camera, an alternative image of the first image I1 is obtained. can

In this device 100, in providing an alternative image of the first image in a situation where the guardian terminal 22 cannot provide the requested first image, a camera controlled to generate an alternate image (superposed image acquisition camera) It is possible to provide an image (alternative image) similar to or corresponding to the first image while minimizing the number of .

That is, the apparatus 100 generates an alternative image based on an angle-changed image acquired through a superimposed image acquisition camera controlled with a minimum number, thereby reducing the image editing time (and faster creation of a replacement image) , it is possible to improve the quality of the image (replacement image of the first image) provided to the guardian terminal 22 by combining the images using a small number of images.

On the other hand, the route guidance provider 160 is a path requesting a path from the service application terminal 20 to the first care resource 31 with respect to the first care resource 31 that is a care institution among the plurality of care resources 30 . When a request is made, a route may be generated from the location of the service request terminal 20 to the location of the first care resource 31 , and information about the generated route may be provided to the service request terminal 20 .

In this case, the plurality of care resources 30 may include a care institution and a caregiver, and in the present application, a route request may be possible only for a care institution among them. That is, only when the care resource is a care institution, it may be possible to request a route to the corresponding care resource (or care institution).

In addition, as used herein, the location of the service requesting terminal 20 means information of the current location (current location) of the service applicant, which may be, for example, GPS location information obtained through the GPS sensor of the service requesting terminal 20. there is.

12 is an example of a case in which information on a path from the care service providing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application to a care resource (eg, a first care resource) is provided by the route guide providing unit 160 It is a drawing for explanation.

Referring to FIG. 12 , as an example, when a service applicant wants to receive (search) information on a movement route to a specific care resource, a keyword of a care resource that he or she wishes to receive guidance on the route (for example, a care resource institution) name, etc.) can be input on the screen of the service request terminal 20 . In this case, as an example, it is assumed that the keyword of the care resource is 'the elderly care center to help Daegu', and the service applicant is the beneficiary 21a. According to this, it may mean a case where the service requesting terminal 20 is the recipient terminal 21 .

In this case, the route guidance providing unit 160 recognizes the keyword of the care resource input on the screen as a route request requesting a route to the care resource, and from the location of the service application terminal 20 to the care resource 'Daegu' It is possible to create a route to the location of 'the elderly care center to help, and provide information on the generated route on the screen of the service application terminal 20 as shown in FIG. 12 .

In one example of the present application, the route guidance providing unit 160 has been exemplified as providing information about the route from the location of the recipient to the location of the care resource as information about the route, but is not limited thereto. As another example, the route guidance providing unit 160 provides information about the path, from the location of the guardian to the location of the care resource, the route from the location of the terminal of the person in charge (the caregiver) to the location of the recipient, etc. of various types. Information about routes can be provided.

According to this, in an example of the present application, the device 100 exemplifies only that the recipient 21a receives information about a path to the location of the care resource, but is not limited thereto, and the device 100 is the recipient (21a), the guardian (22a), the person in charge (caregiver), etc. various people related to the device 100 can support to receive information about the path from their location to the location of the care resource or the location of the recipient there is.

In addition, when a request signal (internal route guidance request signal) for requesting internal route guidance for an internal movement section included in the generated route is received, the route guidance providing unit 160 is configured to generate a generated corresponding to the internal movement section. An internal navigation route may be generated, and internal route guidance information for guiding a movement of a user (service applicant) for the generated internal route guidance route may be provided based on Augmented Reality (AR).

The device 100 provides a more effective route in guiding a movement route from the location where the service applicant is currently located (the current location) to the location of the first care resource (destination care resource) through the route guide providing unit 160 . Guidance (route guidance) may be provided so that it can be made.

In the following description, the first care resource 31 that is the target of the route request among the plurality of care resources 30 may be referred to as a destination care resource differently. A more detailed description of the road guide providing unit 160 is as follows.

In general, a navigation device, which is one of the conventional route guidance technologies, is mainly focused on a vehicle and only supports route guidance for a route that the vehicle can move (that is, a road on the ground, etc.), and has a rather large complex And for internal spaces such as the inside of a crowded subway station or the interior (inside) of a large building, there is no support for directions to the internal space due to the absence of relevant data.

As such, most of the conventional route guidance technologies have difficulty in providing accurate route guidance to the internal space, so the user can exemplarily use a walk to go through the aforementioned internal space (especially, the internal space on the first road) to the destination ( When moving to the destination care resource), users (eg, recipients, guardians, caregivers) may get lost or lost while moving in the corresponding internal space, which causes delay in travel time to the destination. do.

For example, in general, signs (signs guiding the movement direction or exit of subway stations, etc.) existing inside subway stations, etc. are simple and ambiguous, such as internal trains, external trains, direction a, line b, etc. Therefore, the user is connected to a crowded transfer station (eg, Express Bus Terminal Station, Samseong Station, Jamsil Station, etc.) where a plurality of subway lines intersect, a large building (department store, mart, etc.), an underground shopping mall, a bus terminal, many entrances, etc. There is a limit to accurately moving to a desired destination only by relying on road guide signs in conventional subway stations in the underground/ground interior space composed of floors.

That is, there is a difficulty in smoothly and accurately guiding the user to the desired destination in the internal space only by using the conventional route guidance technology or signage, so that the direction the user wants to go in the subway station is different. It could happen that you go down to the platform in the opposite direction, or you get lost because you can't find an exit.

In addition, when a conventional portal site (eg, Naver, Google, etc.) provides route guidance information based on a car or provides route guidance information based on walking, when a departure point and a destination are input from the user, the departure point It provides information on the route from to the destination, the distance to the route, and the required time (estimated time) required to travel the route by car or on foot.

However, as mentioned above, the conventional route guidance technology only provides a route to a destination based on a two-dimensional map only for a route that a vehicle can move (ie, a road on the ground, etc.) There is a difficulty in guiding (guides) so that the user can move accurately without wandering through the interior space of a complex subway station or through the interior (inside) of a large building.

In addition, since the conventional route guidance technology does not clearly distinguish and display the movement route of each floor with respect to the internal space in which a plurality of floors exist, for example, the user determines the location of a specific care resource (or the location of the recipient) It is difficult to find exactly where you want to go.

Accordingly, the device 100, through the route guidance providing unit 160, with respect to an internal space such as a complex and congested subway station having a rather large scale or the interior (inside) of a large building, the user can use the corresponding internal space Augmented Reality (AR)-based navigation technology can be provided that can support smoother and more accurate movement without hesitation when moving to a destination (destination care resource) through

That is, the device 100 is a complex and congested subway station interior or large building having a rather large scale when a user (recipient, guardian, caregiver, etc.) moves to a destination through the route guidance providing unit 160 . Even when passing through an internal space such as indoors (inside), it supports the user's movement (guide, guide, guide ) can provide augmented reality-based road guidance technology.

In this case, the destination, which may be referred to as the target point of the route herein, may be the location of the care resource or the location of the recipient. In this case, when the destination is the location of the care resource, the recipient 21a is the recipient 21a, and the recipient goes to a nursing institution to receive a care service. It may mean a case in which a route to a nursing home is intended to be provided. On the other hand, if the destination is the location of the recipient, since it is a nursing home who wants to receive a route (path guidance), the nursing home wants to visit the home where the recipient wants to receive nursing care services at home, and the recipient from the current location of the nursing home This may mean a case in which a path to the location of

Specifically, referring to FIG. 1 , the road guidance providing unit 160 may include a first path generating unit 11 , a second path generating unit 12 , and a guide control unit 13 .

The first route generator 11 may generate a route from the origin to the destination based on information about the origin and destination (ie, origin information and destination information) received from the user. In this case, the first route generator 11 may receive information about the departure point and the destination from the user through the service request terminal 20 possessed by the user.

Here, the departure point information is, for example, information about the user's current location, and may mean, for example, the user's location information (ie, the user's current GPS location information) obtained through a GPS sensor. Also, the destination information may refer to information on a point that is a target of an arrival point of a route request.

In the description to be described later, as an example, the user is the guardian 22a (that is, the service application terminal is the guardian terminal), the user's current location is the current location information (current GPS location information) of the guardian terminal 22, and the destination is It is assumed that the first care resource 31 will be described.

That is, in the description to be described later, in order for the guardian 22a to visit a nursing institution and receive a consultation for a nursing service, as an example, information about a path from her location to the location of the first nursing resource 31 (path guide information) ) is assumed to be the case to be guided. Accordingly, the first care resource 31 for which the route request is made may be referred to as a destination care resource, a destination, or the like.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a path generated by the first path generator 11 will be referred to as a reference path.

The first route generator 11 may receive departure point information and destination information from a user (eg, a guardian) through the service application terminal 20 , and based on this, a location corresponding to the departure point information (ie, the current location of the user) It is possible to generate a path (reference path) from the location) to the location corresponding to the destination information (ie, the location of the destination care resource).

At this time, there may be a plurality of routes from the location of the departure point information to the location of the destination information, and the first route generator 11 is a route (particularly, walking time) that minimizes the travel time (particularly, the walking time) among the plurality of routes ( That is, a minimum time path, a shortest path) can be generated. As an example, the first route generator 11 may generate a route that minimizes walking time as a route from the location of the departure point information to the location of the destination information.

The route generated by the first route generator 11 may be displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 in connection with the map, for example.

The second route generator 12 is configured to, when a request signal for requesting an internal route guidance for an internal movement section included in the route (reference route) generated by the first route generator 11 is received, a request signal In response, an internal navigation route corresponding to the internal movement section may be generated.

That is, at least a part of the internal movement section may or may not be included in the route (reference route) generated by the first route generator 11 .

At this time, the second route generator 12 includes an internal movement section in the route (reference route) generated by the first route generator 11 , and requests route guidance for this inner movement section (that is, When a request signal for requesting internal navigation) is received from the user (or user terminal), an internal navigation route corresponding to the internal movement section may be generated in response to the received request signal.

Here, the internal movement section may mean a section corresponding to the internal space of a structure provided in the basement and/or the ground. In this case, the internal space of a structure provided underground and/or above the ground may mean an internal space (internal space) corresponding to a subway station, an underpass, an underground shopping mall, a building, or the like. In addition, the building may mean, for example, a department store, a hospital, a mart, a shopping mall, a bus terminal, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The internal movement section considered herein may mean a section corresponding to a subway station (subway station), which is a structure preferably provided underground.

The second path generating unit 12 generates an internal route guidance path in consideration of the structure (internal structure) of the internal space for each floor of the structure provided in the basement and/or the ground and the convenience facilities existing in the internal space of the structure. can create Accordingly, the second path generating unit 12 may generate a path (internally cut path) so that the division of the movement path is clearly divided for each floor of the internal space.

Here, convenience facilities existing in the interior space include, for example, toilets, escalators, elevators (elevators) in subway stations, beverage vending machines, convenience stores, lockers, situation rooms, transportation card charging stations, shops (restaurants, clothing stores, etc.) It may be included, but is not limited thereto, and various convenience facilities in the subway station may be applied.

In this way, the second route generator 12 considers the internal structure of each floor of the structure or the location of convenience facilities within the internal movement section so that the user can more easily move to the destination (destination care resource) within the internal movement section. , it is possible to create an internal navigation route for guiding a movement route to a destination.

When a request signal for requesting internal navigation for an internal movement section is received, the second route generator 12 may generate an internal navigation route in response to the received request signal. At this time, the second route generating unit 12, when the internal road related image related to the internal road belonging to the internal movement section is obtained from the service request terminal 20, the obtained internal road related image to request the internal route guidance It may recognize as a signal and generate an internal navigation route in response to the recognized request signal.

13 is a diagram illustrating an example of an image related to an inner road obtained from the service requesting terminal 20 in the apparatus 100 for providing a nursing service according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 13 , it is assumed that the user has acquired the image shown in FIG. 8 as an image related to a road guide sign existing in a specific subway station through the service application terminal 20 .

At this time, the second path generating unit 12 determines whether the image obtained through the service request terminal 20 is an image taken for an internal movement section within the path (reference path) generated by the first path generating unit 11 . can judge That is, the second path generating unit 12 is an image obtained by photographing any one of the inner roads belonging to the inner movement section within the reference route, the image obtained through the service request terminal 20 (that is, the inner It can be determined whether the image is a photograph of an inner road belonging to the moving section).

As a result of the determination, if the image obtained through the service request terminal 20 is an image obtained by photographing an inner road belonging to the inner movement section, the second route generation unit 12 is thus obtained from the service request terminal 20 It may be identified that the image is an image related to an internal road related to an internal road belonging to an internal movement section within the reference route.

Here, in order to identify whether the image obtained from the service request terminal 20 in the second route generating unit 12 is an image related to an internal road, for example, the road guide providing unit 160 is a structure provided underground and/or on the ground. It may include a database unit (not shown) in the device 100 that pre-stores a plurality of images of the internal space of (all structures) (that is, an image obtained by photographing an internal road belonging to the corresponding internal space).

In the database unit (not shown), each of these plurality of images is linked together with location information when the image is taken (that is, location information of the user terminal when the image is taken) and direction information when the image is taken. can be saved. Here, the direction information may mean azimuth information. In addition, the location information may include GPS information, altitude information, and the like.

The second path generation unit 12 is obtained from the service request terminal 20 through comparison (matching) between the image obtained from the service request terminal 20 and a plurality of images pre-stored in the database unit (not shown). It may be identified whether the image is an image related to an internal road related to an internal road belonging to an internal movement section within the reference route.

Thereafter, when the image obtained from the service request terminal 20 is identified as an internal road-related image, the second path generating unit 12 recognizes the identified internal road-related image as a request signal, corresponding to the internal movement section You can create internal navigation routes.

Illustratively, when a user (eg, a guardian) inputs information about a departure point and a destination through the service application terminal 20 to receive a route from the departure point to the destination, the first route generation unit 11 is the departure point. You can create a route (reference route) from to the destination. In this case, information about the path (reference path) generated by the first path generating unit 11 may be displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 , for example.

Thereafter, the user may move to a destination (destination care resource) based on (with reference to) a route (reference route) generated through the first route generator 11 . At this time, as an internal movement section within the route (reference route), a rather complex and congested subway station (hereinafter referred to as the target subway station) is included, for example, with multiple entrances, department stores, and bus terminals connected and made up of several floors. let's say there is That is, it is assumed that the user must pass through such a target subway station when moving to a destination.

At this time, when the space corresponding to the target subway station is wide, and as mentioned above, a number of entrances, department stores, bus terminals, etc. are connected and consist of multiple floors, the user sees only the road guide signs as shown in FIG. 13 as an example You may get lost or get lost while traveling to your destination.

In this case, when the user (guardian) moves to the destination based on (with reference to) the route (reference route) generated through the first route generator 11 , the internal movement section of the reference route If you want to receive directions, for example, when you enter the corresponding internal movement section for which you want to receive internal route guidance or are located in the corresponding internal movement section, an image (eg, The image as shown in FIG. 13) may be photographed using the service request terminal 20 .

The second route generating unit 12 compares (matching) between the image acquired through the service request terminal 20 and the images previously stored in the database unit (not shown), and the acquired image is related to the corresponding internal movement section. When it is identified as an internal road-related image, it may be recognized as a request signal for requesting internal road guidance for an internal moving section.

When a request signal is received (that is, when an image related to an internal road is obtained from the user terminal), the second route generator 12 generates an internal route guidance route corresponding to the internal movement section in response to the request signal, The generated internal navigation route may be provided to be displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 as an example.

When the internal road-related image is obtained, the second route generating unit 12 calculates a path from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the nearest exit from the destination among exits belonging to the internal movement section. Can be created as an internal navigation route.

When the location of the destination input from the user (eg, a guardian) is the location of a building existing on the ground, the second route generator 12 determines the destination among the exits belonging to the internal movement section (ie, exits within the subway station). A route from the location of the exit to the location of the nearest exit may be generated as an internal navigation route, but is not limited thereto.

As another example, when the location of the destination input from the user is the location of a building existing on the ground, the second route generator 12 is a destination among a plurality of ticket gates belonging to an internal movement section (ie, an internal space within a subway station). A route from the location of the wicket to the location of the nearest ticket gate can be created as an internal navigation route.

Illustratively, when the location of the destination corresponds to a ground building existing on the ground, the second route generating unit 12 may determine the location of the destination among the exits belonging to the inner movement section from the location corresponding to the image related to the inner road. A route from the to the location of the nearest exit may be generated as an internal navigation route. Here, the location corresponding to the internal road-related image is the location of the service requesting terminal 20 that has acquired the internal road-related image, which may mean the current location of the user who has photographed/obtained the internal road-related image.

On the other hand, the location of the destination corresponds to, for example, an underground building that is any one of a plurality of buildings belonging to the internal movement section (in other words, any one of a plurality of shopping malls belonging to the underground shopping mall that is an internal movement section) In the case of a location, the second route generating unit 12 calculates a route from a location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the destination within the internal movement section (that is, a location corresponding to any one underground building in the internal movement section) Can be created as an internal navigation route.

In this case, there may be a plurality of routes from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image to the location of the destination information, and the second route generator 12 has the minimum travel time (particularly, walking time) among the plurality of routes. A path (ie, a minimum time path, a shortest path) may be generated as an internal navigation path. That is, the second path generation unit 12 is a path from the location corresponding to the internal road-related image obtained from the service request terminal 20 to the location of the destination information (ie, the location of the destination care resource), walking time This minimum route can be generated as an internal navigation route.

The guidance control unit 13 generates internal guidance information for guiding the movement of the user on the internal guidance path based on the internal guidance path generated by the second path generator 12, and generates a user (eg, a guardian) ) can be provided to the service application terminal 20 possessed.

In this case, the guidance control unit 13 may provide the internal route guidance information to the service requesting terminal 20 in consideration of the user's location information (user location information). In addition, the internal guidance information may include information on the internal guidance path generated by the second route generator 12 and movement guidance information in consideration of the user's location information that is changed according to the movement of the user.

Here, the user's location information is location information obtained through a location acquisition sensor included in the service request terminal 20, and may be, for example, GPS information, but is not limited thereto. As another example, the user's location information can be obtained through a single image (photo) even in the basement or indoors where GPS does not pass, for example, by using a visual localization technology.

The guidance control unit 13 may provide internal road guidance information based on augmented reality for an internal road belonging to an internal movement section. That is, the guidance control unit 13 may provide the internal road guidance information based on augmented reality.

The guidance control unit 13 generates the internal route guidance information for the internal movement section as at least one information type of screen display information (a straight arrow display, a U-turn display, a remaining distance display, etc., display content), sound information, and vibration information. Thus, it can be provided to the service requesting terminal 20 .

The guidance control unit 13, for example, when a plurality of direction indication information is included in the internal road-related image obtained from the service request terminal 20, a corresponding direction indication corresponding to the internal road guidance path among the plurality of direction indication information The screen display information provided to the service request terminal 20 can be controlled so that the icon of the information is displayed in a form that is easier to recognize or identify than the icon of the non-responsive direction indication information that does not correspond to the internal navigation route.

In this case, displaying the icon in a form that is easy to recognize or identify means to display at least one of a visually emphasized form, an expanded form, a form accompanying an auditory effect, and a dynamic animation form, as described above. can do. This can be more easily understood with reference to FIG. 14 .

14 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example of the service requesting terminal 20 controlled by the controller 140 of the care service providing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

14, in moving to the location of the first care resource 31 (destination care resource), a user (eg, a guardian) must pass an internal movement section such as a subway station of 'Yeoksam Station' as an example, In this case, it is assumed that the user wants to be provided (to receive a request) a route guidance (ie, internal route guidance) from the internal movement section (in the subway station) to the exit where the first care resource 31 is located, for example. In this case, the user may take an image as shown in (a) of FIG. 14 as an internal road-related image using the guardian terminal 22, which is the service application terminal 20, within the 'Yeoksam Station'. In this case, the second route generator 12 may generate an internal route guidance route indicating a route (path) from the current location of the user to the location of the first care resource 31 .

On the other hand, it is assumed that the first direction indication information for guiding the 'Gyodae/sadang direction' and the second direction indication information for guiding the 'Seolleung/Jamsil direction' are included as a plurality of direction indication information in the obtained internal road-related image.

In this case, if the 'first care institution', which is the destination the user wants to go, is a place that can be reached only by moving according to the second direction indication information, the user may use a second It is necessary to move to the 'Seolleung/Jamsil direction' following the direction indication information.

The guidance control unit 13 is configured to generate second direction indication information from among a plurality of direction indication information included in the internal road related image based on the internal road guidance route generated by the second route generating unit 12 as the internal road guidance path. On the other hand, the first direction indication information among the plurality of direction indication information may be recognized as non-corresponding direction indication information that does not correspond to the internal navigation route.

Accordingly, the corresponding direction indication information may refer to information (direction indication information) indicating a direction that coincides with a direction to which the user should go among a plurality of direction indication information (information indicating a plurality of directions).

In this way, after recognizing the second direction indication information among the plurality of direction indication information as the corresponding direction indication information, the guide control unit 13 shows the internal way guide information generated based on the inner way guide route as screen display information as an example. It can be provided on the screen of the service request terminal 20 as shown in (b) of 14.

That is, as shown in part A in FIG. 14B , the guide control unit 13 makes it easier to recognize or identify the icon of the corresponding direction indication information among the plurality of direction indication information than the icon of the non-corresponding direction indication information. Screen display information may be provided to be displayed in the form.

In addition to the control of the screen display information for the corresponding direction indication information, the guidance control unit 13 includes, for example, movement guidance information (changed according to the movement of the user) among the internal road guidance information displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 . As shown in part B in FIG. 14 (b) as movement guide information considering the user's location information), [to go to the place of the first care resource, go straight 100m, turn right, and take the 'Seolleung/Jamsil direction' train Please, the screen display information can be controlled so that a phrase such as ] is displayed on the screen of the service request terminal 20 .

In this way, when the route guidance providing unit 160 provides the internal route guidance information for the internal movement section based on augmented reality, a direction indication that matches the direction the user wants to go among a plurality of direction indication information included in the road guide sign. It is possible to control the screen of the service request terminal 20 so that the information is displayed in a form that is easy to recognize or identify compared to the non-corresponding direction indication information. The route guidance providing unit 160 provides the user to more intuitively recognize the direction he or she should go based on the information displayed on the screen, and through this, the user moves to the destination quickly without getting lost It is possible to guide (guide, provide) the movement of the road.

In addition, the guide control unit 13 considers real-time user location information obtained from a location acquisition sensor (eg, a GPS sensor, etc.) in the service request terminal 20, the remaining until the direction change point where the user needs to change the moving direction The content of the screen display information, the content of the sound information, and the vibration type of the vibration information may be changed in correspondence with the distance.

At this time, the guidance control unit 13 provides sound information through the speaker unit of the wearable sound input/output unit worn by the user or the service request terminal 20 in the case of sound information, and in the case of vibration information, the wearable vibration output unit or service request terminal worn by the user (20) can be provided.

For example, the guide controller 13 may generate and provide sound information so that the user can recognize the internal way guide information as sound (so that the inner way guide information can be provided as a sound output). In addition, the guidance controller 13 may generate and provide the vibration information so that the user can recognize the internal road guidance information as vibration (so that the internal road guidance information can be provided as vibration output).

In this case, the sound information generated by the guide control unit 13 may be provided through a wearable sound input/output unit (not shown) worn by the user or a speaker unit of the service requesting terminal 20 . In addition, the vibration information generated by the guidance controller 13 may be provided through a wearable vibration output unit (not shown) worn by the user or a vibration unit provided in the service request terminal 20 . In other words, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable sound input/output unit or the speaker unit of the service request terminal 20 so that the generated sound information can be provided to the user. In addition, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit or the vibration unit of the service request terminal 20 so that the generated vibration information can be provided to the user.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and when the device 100 includes a sound input/output unit and a vibration output unit by itself, the generated sound information is provided through the device 100's own sound input/output unit, and the generated Vibration information may be provided through a self-vibration output unit of the apparatus 100 .

The device 100 may be connected to the service request terminal 20 as well as a wearable sound input/output unit and a wearable vibration output unit through a network. In this case, the network connected between the two units (ie, the wearable sound input/output unit and the wearable vibration output unit) and the present device 100 may be, for example, a wireless communication network, but is not limited thereto.

The wearable sound input/output unit may be, for example, a headset, earphones, etc. that can be worn on the user's head and neck, and can input/output voice. For example, when the wearable sound input/output unit is worn on the neck, it may be expressed differently as a necklace-type headset. For example, the wearable sound input/output unit may be expressed differently as a headphone device or the like.

For example, if the user is blind with visual information blocked, the wearable sound input/output unit is preferably a bone conduction headset or earphone worn around the user's ear so that sound information obtainable through the ear is not blocked more than a predetermined amount can do.

The wearable sound input/output unit may receive, for example, voice information spoken by the user (eg, uttered voice information regarding departure point information and destination information), and may provide it to the route guidance providing unit 160 . The first route generating unit 11 of the route guidance providing unit 160 recognizes the departure point information and the destination information based on the voice analysis of the voice information provided from the wearable sound input/output unit, and based on the recognized information, the route ( reference path) can be created. Also, the wearable sound input/output unit may output (express) sound information generated by the guide control unit 13 .

The guidance control unit 13 generates vibration of the vibration information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point to which the user needs to change the moving direction, based on the user's real-time location information and the internal road guidance information (particularly, the internal road guidance route). You can change the type or content of sound information. In this case, the vibration type may include at least one of a vibration intensity and a vibration pattern.

The guide control unit 13 may generate vibration information by varying the intensity of vibration according to a movement direction, such as forward movement, backward movement, left movement, or right movement, or by changing a vibration pattern. As another example, the guide control unit 13 may generate vibration information so that the vibration intensity or the vibration pattern is different according to the movement direction, such as moving in the 1 o'clock direction, moving in the 2 o'clock direction, or moving in the 3 o'clock direction.

Illustratively, when the internal navigation information (in particular, the internal navigation route) follows a path turning right after going straight 300 m from the current user location information, the guidance control unit 13 transmits sound information 'must go straight 300 m' to the wearable It may be provided to a sound input/output unit (or a speaker unit), through which the wearable sound input/output unit may output sound information. At this time, the guide control unit 13 changes the content of the sound information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point (the point where the user has to turn right) to change the movement, and provides the changed sound information to the wearable sound input/output unit. there is.

That is, as the user moves based on the sound information 'You must go straight 300m', the remaining distance to the turning point may gradually decrease. In this case, the guide control unit 13 may control the sound information to be changed for each preset distance in response to the remaining distance (in consideration of the remaining distance). For example, the guide controller 13 may generate sound information so that the sound information is changed every 10 m from a time when the remaining distance is less than or equal to 100 m, and provide it to the wearable sound input/output unit.

Specifically, the guidance control unit 13 transmits sound information so that the sound information 'You must turn right after going straight 100m' is provided to the user through the wearable sound input/output unit when the remaining distance to the direction change point is less than 100m. can be changed Similarly, the guidance control unit 13 changes the sound information to provide the sound information 'You must go straight after 90 m and turn right' at the time remaining below 90 m, and the sound 'You must go straight after 80 m and turn right' at the time remaining below 80 m. It is possible to change the sound information so that the information is provided. For example, when the remaining distance is less than 10 m, the guide controller 13 may generate sound information so that the sound information is changed and provided for every 1 m distance.

As another example, when the internal guidance information (particularly, the internal guidance route) follows a path turning right after going straight 300 m from the current user location information, the guidance controller 13 controls the weakest first vibration intensity among the ten vibration intensities. It is possible to generate vibration information having Through this, the wearable vibration output unit may express the vibration information provided from the guide control unit 13 and provide it to the user.

At this time, the guidance control unit 13 changes the vibration type of the vibration information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point (the point where the user needs to turn right) to change the movement, and provides the changed vibration information to the wearable vibration output unit. can That is, as the user moves based on the vibration information of the first vibration intensity, the remaining distance to the direction change point may gradually decrease. In this case, the guide control unit 13 may control the vibration type of the vibration information to be changed for each preset distance corresponding to the remaining distance (in consideration of the remaining distance).

For example, the guide control unit 13 may change the vibration information in a direction in which the vibration intensity is gradually increased at intervals of 10 m from a time when the remaining distance is less than or equal to 100 m, and may provide the changed vibration information to the wearable vibration output unit.

That is, the guide control unit 13 generates vibration information of the first vibration intensity when the remaining distance to the direction change point is less than 100 m and provides it to the wearable vibration output unit, and when the remaining distance to the direction change point is less than or equal to 90 m, the first vibration intensity by changing to the second vibration intensity, vibration information having the second vibration intensity may be provided to the wearable vibration output unit. In addition, the guide control unit 13 changes the vibration intensity from the second vibration intensity to the third vibration intensity at a time point remaining below 80 m, and generates vibration information having the changed third vibration intensity to the user through the wearable vibration output unit. can provide

Also, the guidance control unit 13 may change the vibration pattern as a vibration type of vibration information in response to the residual distance to the direction change point (taking the residual distance into consideration). For example, the guide control unit 13 may change the vibration pattern every 1 m from the point in time when the remaining distance remains 10 m or less.

Specifically, when the remaining distance remains 10 m or less, the guide control unit 13 generates vibration information in a pattern (vibration pattern) in which the vibration of the first vibration intensity vibrates once every 2 seconds to provide the wearable vibration output unit. can In addition, when the remaining distance is less than 9 m, the guidance control unit 13 generates vibration information in a pattern (vibration pattern) in which the vibration of the second vibration intensity vibrates once per second and provides it to the wearable vibration output unit. there is. In addition, when the remaining distance remains less than or equal to 1 m, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit by generating vibration information in a pattern in which the vibration having the tenth vibration intensity vibrates 5 times per second.

As such, the guidance control unit 13 may change the vibration type of vibration information or the content of sound information in response to the remaining distance to the direction change point (taking the remaining distance into account), and through this, the changed information (ie, vibration type) This changed vibration information and sound information in which the sound content is changed) may be provided.

In addition, when it is determined that the user deviated from the route corresponding to the internal route guidance information (that is, the internal route guidance route) based on the internal route guidance information (particularly, the internal route guidance route), the guidance controller 13 responds accordingly to change the vibration type of the vibration information or the content of the sound information.

For example, the guidance control unit 13 may generate sound information 'you must turn right after going straight for 100m' based on the internal route guidance path and provide it to the wearable sound input/output unit. At this time, if it is determined that the user deviated from the displayed route, the guidance control unit 13 'deviates from the route' or 'deviates from the route. You can change it to the sound information of 'Please U-turn and go back', and provide sound information of the changed content.

As another example, when it is determined that the user deviated from the internal navigation path, the guidance controller 13 converts the current vibration information (eg, vibration information having the first vibration intensity) to the vibration information having the tenth vibration intensity. , and the changed vibration information may be provided to the wearable vibration output unit. Alternatively, when it is determined that the user deviated from the internal navigation path, the guidance control unit 13 transmits vibration information having a vibration pattern that vibrates once at a first vibration intensity per second at a tenth vibration intensity 5 times per second It is possible to change to vibration information having a vibration pattern that vibrates, and provide the changed vibration information.

The wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in a wearable form on a part of the user's body. For example, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in a wearable form (eg, a bracelet, etc.) on a user's wrist. One or a plurality of wearable vibration output units may be disposed on a part of the user's body.

A plurality of wearable vibration output units may be disposed at different positions with respect to the user. For example, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed on both wrists of the user. That is, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed at different positions on each wrist of the user, and in this case, two wearable vibration output units may be disposed as a plurality.

In addition, the wearable vibration output unit may include a vibration generating unit that generates vibration, and at least one vibration generating unit may be disposed (provided).

In addition, as another example, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in the form of a headband that can be worn on the user's head. In this case, in the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband, a plurality of vibration generating units may be disposed at different positions along the circumference inside the headband.

In addition, the wearable vibration output unit may be disposed (provided) in the form of a belt that can be worn on the user's waist. In this case, in the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a belt, a plurality of vibration generating units may be disposed at different positions along the circumference of the belt.

The guidance control unit 13 is configured to determine the position (placement position) of each of a plurality of wearable vibration output units arranged at different positions with respect to the user and the movement direction of the user based on the internal guidance information (particularly, the internal guidance route). Vibration types of the plurality of wearable vibration output units may be controlled (individually controlled, individually differently controlled) in consideration of the relationship between .

For example, with respect to the plurality of wearable vibration output units disposed on both wrists of the user, the wearable vibration output unit disposed on the left wrist is a first wearable vibration output unit, and the wearable vibration output unit disposed on the right wrist is a second wearable Let's call it a vibration output unit. At this time, the guide control unit 13 determines the position of each of the plurality of wearable vibration output units (that is, considering that the first wearable vibration output unit is located on the left wrist and the second wearable vibration output unit is located on the right wrist) and the user's In consideration of the relationship with the moving direction, the vibration type of the plurality of wearable vibration output units based on the internal navigation path may be controlled.

Specifically, when the user has to turn left according to the internal road guidance path while the user is moving straight, the guidance control unit 13 vibrates through the first wearable vibration output unit disposed on the user's left (left) wrist Vibration information may be provided to the first wearable vibration output unit so that the information is displayed (in other words, vibration is generated). As such, the guide control unit 13 may control the first wearable vibration output unit in consideration of the user's movement direction (left rotation), and through this, may provide the user with vibration indicating that the user should move to the left ( can inform).

As another example, when the user has to turn right according to the internal road guidance route while the user is moving straight, the guidance control unit 13 vibrates through the second wearable vibration output unit disposed on the user's right (right) wrist Vibration information may be provided to the second wearable vibration output unit so that the information is displayed (in other words, vibration is generated). In this way, the guide control unit 13 may control the second wearable vibration output unit in consideration of the user's moving direction (right turn), and through this, it is possible to provide the user with a vibration indicating that the user should move to the right ( can inform).

In addition, the following description will be made on the assumption that the wearable vibration output unit is a wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband.

In the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband, a plurality of vibration generating units may be disposed along the circumference inside the headband. For example, the plurality of vibration generating units may include four vibration generating units. In this case, the first vibration generating unit is disposed at a position corresponding to the center of the user's forehead (front head) among the inner circumferences of the headband, and the second vibration generating unit is disposed at a position corresponding to the user's right head, and the third The vibration generating unit may be disposed at a position corresponding to the back of the head (rear head) of the user, and the fourth vibration generating unit may be disposed at a position corresponding to the user's left head.

At this time, when the user has to turn right according to the movement route information in a state in which the user is moving straight, the guide control unit 13 controls the head so that the vibration information is provided through the first vibration generating unit while guiding the user to move straight. It is possible to control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a band. The guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband so that vibration information is provided through the second vibration generating unit when the user needs to turn right.

In addition, when the user needs to turn left, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband to provide vibration information through the fourth vibration generating unit. In addition, when the user needs to make a U-turn, the guide control unit 13 may control the wearable vibration output unit in the form of a headband to provide vibration information through the third vibration generating unit.

In this way, the guide control unit 13 relates to the position of each of the plurality of wearable vibration output units (placement position with respect to the user) (or the position of each of the plurality of vibration generating units included in the wearable vibration output unit) and the movement direction of the user. Considering that, it is possible to control the vibration type of the wearable vibration output unit.

The guide control unit 13 provides movement guide information generated based on the route guide information (in particular, the displayed route) as vibration through a wearable vibration output unit worn on the user's wrist as an example (that is, the vibration intensity or vibration pattern) It may be provided as different vibration information) or, for example, may be provided by voice (ie, as voice guidance) through a wearable sound input/output unit worn on the user's head.

The way guide providing unit 160 provides not only the internal way guide information as voice information through the wearable sound input/output unit but also vibration information through the wearable vibration output unit, so that not only general users but also people with visual impairments, etc. Even for the disabled, it is possible to provide safer and more accurate movement guidance (guide) for the internal route guidance route, and it is possible to maximize the user's convenience and activity.

In addition, the route guidance providing unit 160 provides movement guide information as voice information and vibration information, so that the user cannot continuously check the screen of the service application terminal 20 on which the internal route guidance information is displayed while walking. Even in cases (eg, a case in which a visually impaired person moves on foot or a case in which a general user walks with both hands full), a more accurate route guidance or movement guidance (guide) may be provided.

The guidance control unit 13 may provide the internal route guidance information as screen display information on the screen of the service request terminal 20 . In this case, the screen display information may include, for example, an arrow display related to going straight, a right turn, a left turn, and a U-turn, and a residual distance display related to the remaining distance, but is not limited thereto.

The route guidance providing unit 160 may perform a route guidance to a destination (destination care resource) based on augmented reality (AR), and a movement route guidance. The device 100 including the route guidance providing unit 160 may be expressed differently as an AR subway direction notification device capable of providing a service, such as an AR-based road guidance device, an AR navigation system, an AR-based route guidance device, and the like.

The route guidance provider 160 provides AR-based internal route guidance information, so that users (recipients, guardians, caregivers, etc.) who have difficulty finding a way such as a maze in the subway due to conventionally crowded subways, unfriendly location descriptions, etc. For the user, it is possible to provide (support) so that the user can more easily move the internal movement section.

In addition, the road guide providing unit 160 provides not only recipients, guardians and caregivers, but also users who use the subway for the first time for reasons of tourism or movement, for example, unfriendly explanations (that is, road guide signs in conventional subway stations) For users who suffer from inconvenience in using the subway due to, etc.), it can be provided so that they can move more quickly and accurately without getting lost even on the first road.

15 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen display of an AR-based wayfinding function provided through the way guide providing unit 160 of the care service providing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to FIG. 15 , a user (eg, a guardian) is currently located in the internal space of a specific station, and the user himself/herself is located in the internal space (ie, the internal space corresponding to the internal movement section) from the position in the destination location (the destination of the care resource) Let's say you want to be provided with a route (ie, an internal navigation route) to a location).

As an example, the user may select the AR scan tab on the main screen, and in response to a user input (selection) for the AR scan tab, the guidance control unit 13 controls the image acquisition sensor (ie, camera) of the service request terminal 20 . can be controlled to an active ON state where image shooting/acquisition is possible. At this time, the screen of the service requesting terminal 20 in a state in which the image acquisition sensor is controlled in the active ON state may be, for example, the same as that of the screen (a) of FIG. 15 .

In this state, the user uses the service application terminal 20 to photograph the road guide sign provided (existing) in the internal space where the user is located in order to be provided with a route to the desired destination location (internal route guide route). can

For example, when the user shoots a road guide sign as shown in (a) of FIG. 15 , the second route generating unit 12 includes an image obtained by photographing from the service request terminal 20 and a database unit (not shown). ) through comparison (matching) between a plurality of images pre-stored in, it is possible to identify whether the image obtained from the service request terminal 20 is an image related to an internal road related to an internal road belonging to an internal movement section within the reference route.

As a result of the identification, if it is identified that the image obtained from the service request terminal 20 is an image related to an internal road, as an example, the guide control unit 13 provides an example to the user who has obtained the image related to the internal road as shown in FIG. 15 (b) Compensation can be provided as

Here, the reward is a reward given to the user when a normal internal road-related image is obtained, and may be provided in the form of rubies, coins, points, etc. there is. For example, the guide control unit 13 may provide (pay) one ruby to the user as a reward whenever one normal internal road-related image is obtained.

When such a reward is obtained enough to satisfy a preset condition (for example, when 50 rubies are obtained), the user can use it like cash in a store linked (affiliated) with the road guide providing unit 160. can

At this time, the compensated image is an image determined to be a normal internal road-related image related to an internal road belonging to the internal movement section, which may be additionally stored in a database unit (not shown) in connection with location information and direction information. there is. In this way, when images additionally stored in the database unit (not shown) are later acquired by another user, the standard is used to determine whether the corresponding internal road-related image is a normal image (normal internal road-related image). It can be used as data (comparative data).

Also, in the above description, it has been exemplified that whether to provide a reward is determined depending on whether a normal internal road-related image is obtained, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when a QR code located in an area within each subway station is recognized through the service application terminal 20 , the guide control unit 13 may provide a reward (ruby) in response to the recognized QR code.

In addition, when an image including a road guide sign as shown in (a) of FIG. 15 is acquired, the second route generating unit 12 analyzes the acquired image, and the acquired image is located where the user is located. It may be identified whether the image is related to an interior road belonging to the interior space (ie, an image related to an interior road). Here, when analyzing an image, various image recognition algorithms known in the prior art or developed in the future may be applied, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second path generator 12 may identify whether the acquired image is an internal road-related image through comparison (matching) with a plurality of images previously stored in a database unit (not shown).

In addition, the second route generator 12 may determine the current location of the user based on the identified internal road-related image. That is, since the plurality of images stored in the database unit (not shown) are stored in association with the above-mentioned location information and direction information when the image is taken, the second path generating unit 12 based on this is stored in the database A matching image matching the acquired image may be identified among images previously stored in the unit (not shown), and the current location of the user may be determined based on the identified matching image. In this case, the second route generator 12 may determine the location information stored in association with the matching image as the user's current location.

As described above, the second route generator 12 may determine the user's location information (current location information) through the location acquisition sensor of the service requesting terminal 20 as an example, but as another example, the service requesting terminal 20 The user's location information (current location information) may be identified based on the matching result between the image acquired through the and images pre-stored in the database unit (not shown).

As a result of matching with images pre-stored in the database unit (not shown), as an example, the second path generating unit 12 sets the 'Dongincheon Line 1 platform' to the user's current location as shown in (c) of FIG. 15 . Let us assume that Thereafter, the guide control unit 13 may provide a destination (or destination) input menu for receiving destination information to the user on the screen of the service request terminal 20 as shown in FIG. 15 ( c ).

In this case, the guide control unit 13 may provide a destination input menu, for example, when a path (reference path) is not generated by the first path generating unit 11 . In other words, the guide control unit 13 is, for example, in the case where a route (reference route) to the destination is not generated as information about the origin and destination is not input from the user in the first route generator 11 , A destination input menu may be provided on the screen of the service request terminal 20 .

In this way, in response to the destination input menu displayed on the screen, the user may input destination information (destination information) through the service request terminal 20 by directly typing as an example. The second route generating unit 12 responds to the destination input menu from the location (the user's current location, the location of the departure point) corresponding to the internal road-related image obtained from the service request terminal 20 of the destination information received from the user. A route to a location may be created as an internal navigation route. Accordingly, the first route generator 11 has been exemplified only as being included in the route guide providing unit 160 in the above description, but is not limited thereto, and as another example, the first route generator 11 may be may be omitted accordingly.

The guidance controller 13 may generate internal guidance information including the corresponding internal guidance route based on the internal guidance route generated by the second route generator 12 . The guide control unit 13 may provide (control) the generated internal road guide information to be displayed on the screen of the service requesting terminal 20 based on augmented reality as shown in FIG. 15 (d) as an example.

The guide control unit 13 may provide movement guide information in consideration of the information on the inner way guide route and the location information of the user that is changed according to the movement of the user when providing the inner way guide information.

In addition, in the example of the present application described above, the destination information (destination information) (ie, the location of the destination care resource) on the screen as shown in FIG. not. As another example, destination information (destination information) (that is, the location of the destination care resource), the control unit 140 displays the surrounding care resources located within a preset distance from the user on the map of the service request terminal (20) When displayed on the screen, it may be input by the user selecting any one of the icons corresponding to the surrounding care resources displayed on the map.

The route guidance providing unit 160 of the device 100 not only provides route guidance information to the location of the care resource, but also provides route guidance information to the location of the destination by using various types of information as the destination. can provide

For example, when the user selects the route map selection menu displayed on the screen, the guide controller 13 may provide list information about all subway stations existing on the subway route map as a detailed menu therefor. When the user selects any one subway station from the list information on all subway stations, the selected subway station may be input as destination information.

In addition, when the user's selection of the underground shopping mall selection menu displayed on the screen is made, the guide control unit 13 provides list information on a plurality of shopping malls included in the corresponding internal space as a detailed menu for the service request terminal 20 can be provided on the screen of When the user selects any one of the list information on the plurality of shopping malls, the location of the selected shopping mall may be input as destination information.

In addition, when the user's selection of the convenience facility selection menu displayed on the screen is made, the guide control unit 13 provides a detailed menu for the plurality of convenience facilities ( For example, it is possible to provide list information on the subway station toilet, escalator, elevator, convenience store, information desk, transportation card charging station, luggage locker, etc.) on the screen of the service application terminal 20 . When the user selects any one of the list information on the plurality of convenience facilities, the location of the selected convenience facility may be input as destination information.

Illustratively, when a toilet in a subway station is input as destination information among list information for a plurality of convenience facilities, the second route generator 12 is a destination selected by the user from a location corresponding to the internal road-related image. The route to the location of the toilet in the subway station, which is information, can be created as an internal route guidance route.

To this end, the analysis unit (not shown) may analyze the user's walking characteristic information using the walking sensing data stored in the walking data DB (not shown).

Here, the walking sensing data may refer to data (sensing values, measured values) sensed through a walking sensor provided in the service requesting terminal 20 as a user (eg, a guardian) moves on foot. The walk sensor is a sensor capable of sensing (measuring) data related to the user's walking (step), and may include, for example, a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a GPS sensor, etc., but is not limited thereto, and a pedometer, etc. may be included.

In particular, the analysis unit (not shown) may acquire the walking characteristic information of the user by performing analysis by linking the walking sensing data and the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown).

The walking characteristic information is information about the user's walking characteristics in consideration of the topographical information, and may mean, for example, walking speed (walking speed), but is not limited thereto. The walking characteristic information may refer to speed information in which topographic information is taken into consideration, not simply speed according to distance.

The walk data DB (not shown) obtains and stores the walk sensing data sensed (measured) through the walk sensor provided in the service application terminal 20 possessed by the user from the walk sensor when the user moves on foot. can In the walking data DB (not shown), walking sensing data may be accumulated and stored.

The feature information may include slope information (slope) of the terrain for a specific section. The slope information includes information such as whether it is a flat land with a slope of 0, an uphill terrain with a positive slope (+x°), a downhill terrain with a negative slope (-x°), and whether the inner length is hollow. may be included. In addition, the feature information may include information such as whether the specific section is an escalator section or an elevator area as feature information for a specific section.

At this time, the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown) may be information obtained using various feature surveying techniques that are known in the prior art or developed in the future, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The analysis unit (not shown) links the walking sensing data stored in the walking data DB (not shown) and the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown) with each other, and information about the user's walking characteristics (that is, walking characteristics) information) can be analyzed. That is, the analysis unit (not shown) may acquire the walking characteristic information of the user in consideration of the geographical feature information through analysis by linking the walking sensing data and the feature information.

Illustratively, as information analyzed by an analysis unit (not shown) in the walking characteristic information of the user considering the topographical information, the walking speed when the user walks in a section of 100m with an inclination of +60° is 1.66m/ s, when the user walks a section of 100m with an inclination of +20°, the stride rate is 1.79m/s Analysis information such as 1.55 m/s may be included in the stride rate when the user walks the stairs of 100 m section formed in °.

The analysis unit (not shown) can perform analysis based on the deep learning model (ie, learning using the deep learning model) by linking the walking sensing data and the topographical information with each other, for example, and through this, over time Accordingly, as the number of walking sensing data increases, more accurate feature information is obtained, and user's walking characteristic information is acquired (that is, accurate user's walking characteristic information optimized for each feature type by considering various types of feature information) can be obtained).

The deep learning model may refer to, for example, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm model, a machine learning (machine learning) model, a neural network model (an artificial neural network model), a neurofuzzy model, and the like. In addition, the deep learning model is exemplarily a convolutional neural network (CNN, convolutional neural network), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a deep neural network, etc. that have been previously known or developed in the future. Various neural network models can be applied.

The calculation unit (not shown) considers the user's walking characteristic information obtained through analysis by the analysis unit (not shown) (that is, the user's walking characteristic information in which the topographical information is considered), from the location of the departure point information to the destination. It is possible to calculate the walking travel time for the internal navigation route to the location of the information. The walking time calculated by the calculator (not shown) may be expressed differently as a predicted walking time, a required walking time, an estimated walking (required) time, and the like.

In order to calculate the walking travel time (predicted walking travel time) for the internal guidance path corresponding to the internal guidance information provided by the guidance control unit 13, the calculator (not shown) is configured to perform the calculation from the feature DB (not shown). Identifies information on features on the route corresponding to the internal route guidance route, and calculates the estimated walking time in consideration of the user's walking characteristic information analyzed (obtained) by the analysis unit (not shown) and the identified feature information on the route can be calculated.

Here, the feature information stored in the feature DB (not shown) may include information related to the first factor affecting the gait speed when the user moves on foot. In this case, the information related to the first element may be information related to at least one of the slope of the terrain (flat, uphill, downhill), stairs, escalators, and elevators.

In an example of the present application, as information related to the first factor affecting the user's pace, at least one of the slope of the terrain, stairs, elevators, and escalators has been exemplified, but it is not limited thereto, and the user's pace is not limited thereto. Various terrain-related factors that can influence can be considered.

Specifically, the user's walking speed (ie, walking speed) may differ depending on whether the user is moving on a flat ground, an uphill road, a downhill road, or a staircase, an escalator, an elevator, etc. The pacing rate may differ from user to user.

In the case of the prior art, in providing the walking time for a specific route, a standardized walking time determined only according to the distance without considering individual walking characteristics was provided. Illustratively, in the case of the prior art, a uniform walking time for a specific route is provided in proportion to the distance, such as 1 minute for 100 m, 2 minutes for 200 m, and the like.

On the other hand, the calculation unit (not shown) applies the walking characteristic information of the user (user individual) analyzed by the analysis unit (not shown) to the feature information on the path corresponding to the internal road guide path, which is calculated As the walking travel time for the internal guidance route, it is possible to calculate the user's personalized walking time customized to the user's walking characteristics by reflecting the characteristics of the features of the corresponding internal guidance route.

For example, as a result of the identification of the feature information on the route by the calculator (not shown), the internal route guidance path corresponding to the identified feature information on the route is a first section corresponding to 200m with an inclination of +20° , a second section corresponding to 100m in which there are stairs going down, and a third section corresponding to 100m, which is flat ground.

In this case, the calculation unit (not shown) considers the walking characteristic information of the user analyzed by the analysis unit (not shown), and applies the information to each section (each of the first section to the third section) included in the corresponding internal route guidance route. It is possible to calculate the walking time for each section customized to the user, and by summing the calculated walking time for each section, finally the walking time for the internal guidance route (that is, the estimated walking time based on the user’s walking characteristics) required time) can be calculated.

The calculator (not shown) calculates the walking travel time in consideration of the information related to the first factor, as the absolute value of the inclination has a large value (that is, the steeper the uphill slope, the steeper the downhill slope), By predicting that the walking travel time takes longer, the walking travel time can be calculated as a larger value. In other words, the walking travel time calculated by the calculator (not shown) may be calculated as, for example, a larger value as the absolute value of the inclination in the information related to the first element included in the feature information on the route increases.

In addition, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the estimated walking time for the internal navigation route in consideration of the wearables information previously obtained from the user.

Here, the wearable article information may refer to information about a wearable article that the user is going to wear or possess when the user walks along an internal navigation route. In this case, the calculation unit (not shown) may calculate the estimated walking time in consideration of walking characteristic information, information on features on a route for an internal road guide route, and information on wearable items.

The wearing article information may be, for example, information directly input by the user through the service application terminal 20 . However, it is not limited thereto, and the wearable article information is provided by interlocking the wearable article information providing unit (peripheral device) capable of providing information on the wearable article worn by the user and the road guide providing unit 160 with each other, so that the wearable article information is provided. It may be information obtained from the information providing unit. Here, the wearable article information providing unit may be, for example, an image acquisition sensor (ie, a camera) provided in the service requesting terminal 20 , but is not limited thereto.

For example, the user may acquire a wearables related image by photographing a wearable item (including belongings) that the user owns or is wearing through the image acquisition sensor of the service requesting terminal 20 .

The calculator (not shown) may identify the wearable article included in the image by performing image analysis on the wearable article-related image, and information on the identified wearable article by performing a search for the identified wearable article (that is, information on wearing items) can be obtained.

The information related to the second element may be information related to at least one of whether the user has luggage, the type of luggage, the type of shoes worn by the user, and the type of clothing worn by the user.

The calculator (not shown) may automatically search the Internet for the same wearable article as the wearable article identified by image analysis through linkage with the Internet, for example, and based on this, information about the wearable article possessed or worn by the user ( That is, information on wearing items) can be obtained.

For example, it is assumed that high heels are included as shoes worn by the user in the image captured by the image acquisition sensor. The calculator (not shown) may identify the high heel as a wearable article included in the image by performing image analysis on the acquired wearable article-related image. Thereafter, the calculator (not shown) may search for high heels matching the high heels in the identified image (ie, the same wearing item that matches) using the Internet. Based on such an Internet search result, the calculator (not shown) may acquire information about high heels included in the identified image (ie, information on wearing items). In this case, the information about the high heel may include, for example, information about the heel height and weight of the high heel.

In this case, various image analysis algorithms (various image analysis algorithms for identifying objects in an image) that are conventionally existing or developed in the future may be applied to the analysis of the image acquired from the image acquisition sensor.

When the wearable information is not obtained, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the walking travel time for the inner path guidance path in consideration of the walking characteristic information and the feature information on the path. On the other hand, when the wearable information is obtained, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the walking moving time for the inner route guidance route by further considering the wearable information as well as the walking characteristic information and the information on the features on the route.

In order to provide an accurate walking time that is more customized to the user, it may be desirable to calculate the walking time by considering the walking characteristic information and the information on the features on the route as well as the information on the wearable items in the way guide providing unit 160. there is.

In one example of the present application, as information related to the second factor affecting the user's pace, at least one of whether the user has luggage, the type of luggage, the type of shoes worn by the user, and the type of clothing of the user is considered only However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various belongings or wearables that may affect the user's perseverance may be considered.

Illustratively, if the user intends to move with a relatively heavy load when performing walking, the user's stride rate may be slower than that of the user without the load (basic stride rate). In addition, when the user walks, when he wears high heels having a heel of 7 cm, the pace may be slower than when he wears sneakers. Also, when the user walks, when he wears high heels having a heel of 7 cm, the pace may be slower than when he wears high heels having a heel of 3 cm.

As such, the user's walking speed (i.e., pace) may differ depending on the type of wearable information the user has or is wearing (specifically, according to the type of information related to the second element), This gait difference may appear differently for each user. Accordingly, the calculator (not shown) may calculate the predicted walking time customized to the user in consideration of the type of information about belongings.

In the present application, the information on wearables is preferably understood as a concept that includes not only wearable items such as hats, clothing, pants, shoes, accessories, etc. worn on the user's body, but also information about belongings such as carriers, boxes, and shopping bags. Do.
