In this case, the mobile terminal refers to an arbitrary device having a computing function and communication capability that solves the power supply internally.

The following describes the location-based store recommendation service according to the present invention. 1 to 6 describe a method of classifying and providing recommended information for a store within or outside the living range.

1 shows a flow chart of a method for classifying and providing recommended information on a store provided by an information provider according to the present invention into or outside the scope of one's own life. And Figure 2 is a diagram showing a simplified map 200 showing the life range of the information provider according to the present invention.

The present invention provides a method for providing location-based information that is implemented as a computing device and includes location information on a store, comprising the steps of: ; A classification step 120 of determining whether the store is located inside or outside the living range 220 determined from the living place using the two location information, classifying the recommended information into the inside or the outside, and storing it It is characterized in that it includes.

Recommendation referred to in the present invention may mean recommendation or evaluation. Accordingly, the recommendation information referred to in the present invention may refer to recommendation or evaluation information.

An information providing terminal referred to in the present invention, a user terminal to be described later, or a counterpart terminal to be described later refers to a terminal to which a user, an information provider, or a counterpart provides information, respectively. In addition, the information providing terminal, the user terminal, or the counterpart terminal referred to in the present invention may be the same terminal, and this is merely a classification according to a position of providing information, consuming information, or obtaining information.

Location information of shops, living places, or places of interest to be described later may be provided as locations or ranges. In this case, when transmitted as a range, administrative districts such as ri, eup, dong, etc. may be generally provided. Similarly, the location information of the store may be provided as a location or range.

Therefore, being located within the living range referred to in the present invention means determining whether the store is within the living range 220 determined from the living place by using the location information of the store and living place. In this case, it does not matter which criterion is used.

For example, when both the location information of the store and the living place are transmitted to the location, it is determined that the store is located inside a radius 220 determined from the living place 210 as shown in FIG. 2 . can And if the living place is provided as a range, the living range may be the same as the provided range or a new range determined from the provided range. If the store is included in the living range, it can be determined as the inside.

In addition to this, there may be cases where both the shop and the living place are transferred to a range, that is, an administrative district. In this case, the interior may determine whether the store is in the interior by determining whether part or all of one range is included within the other range, and this may also vary depending on the implementation method. However, as a specific example, location information of the store and the living place may be generally provided as a location.

The information provider mentioned in the present invention, the user and the other party, which will be described later, perform a subscription procedure through the corresponding terminal to create an account, and can transmit their location information, recommended information, or used article information, etc. to be described later. Alternatively, the user may be provided with the recommended information, the used article information, or other party information, which will be described later, by providing a place of interest in the corresponding terminal without the registration procedure.

In the present invention, the living place may be home, work, or both.

The living place may be the information provider's own home or workplace, or both. The living place is a place where the information provider spends the most time, a place with regular stores that are used regularly, and a place that knows the rumors about the store better than anyone else. For this reason, the present invention can provide a method for separately providing recommendation information for the store to the inside or the outside by determining whether the store is located inside or outside the living range.

The recommendation information referred to in the present invention may include at least one of a recommendation for the store, a recommendation score, or a recommendation reason. The recommendation score may be provided in any way that can recognize a difference in recommendation or evaluation, such as a score or an asterisk. The recommendation reason is to provide a subjective reason provided by the information provider for the store, which may include a subjective judgment such as whether some are good and others are bad.

2 is a diagram showing a simplified map 200 showing shops 231,232,235,236 located inside and outside the living range 220 according to the present invention. The drawing describes a living place and a living range, and informs a method of classifying recommended information for a store.

In the case of the drawing, the living place 210 of the information provider is provided as a location. In this case, the living range may be determined by a certain radius from the living place. In addition, unlike the drawings, the living range may be an administrative district.

The shops 231,232, 235 and 236 may be classified into shops 231 and 232 located inside the living range 220 that is a predetermined radius from the living place 210 and shops 235 and 236 located outside. That is, according to the present invention, whether the store recommended by the information provider is located inside or outside the life range of the information provider, the recommended information for the store is classified into the inside and outside, and exposed to the terminal.

In addition, the store mentioned in the present invention may be a place that sells a specific product or provides a service, and in addition, a place that provides a specific service such as an amusement park may be included in the store. Therefore, the store mentioned in this specification may be a place that schematically represents a certain range rather than a specific place such as a market or a specific tourist place selling goods.

3 is a screen 300 of a terminal showing recommended information 310 for a store searched for at a user's place of interest according to the present invention. And FIG. 4 shows a screen 350 of the user terminal according to the present invention when 00 restaurant 1 is selected from the recommendation information shown in FIG. 3 .

Hereinafter, it will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 which is a special example according to the present invention.

The present invention includes the steps 130 of receiving location information on a place of interest from a user terminal; a search step (140) of searching for the store located within the range of interest determined from the place of interest; and an exposure step 150 of controlling to classify (312, 313, 381) the recommendation information for the store found in the search step according to the classification step and expose it to the user terminal.

Classifying according to the classification step mentioned in the present specification means determining whether the store recommended by the information provider is located inside or outside the life range of the information provider as shown in FIG. It means to classify as That is, in the case of FIG. 2 , the recommended information on a store is classified into stores 231,232 located inside the living range 220 and stores 235 and 236 located outside the living range 220, It may be to expose the recommended information for the user terminal.

Specifically, in the case of FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, recommended information on stores located inside or outside the living range is classified (312, 313, 381) by the names of residents or outsiders, respectively, and exposed on the screen of the terminal. That is, in the case of the drawing, it refers to dividing the classification into residents and outsiders according to the classification stage. As will be described later, the resident score 312 in the drawing is an average of the recommended scores provided by a plurality of information providers for the corresponding store. Referring to the drawing of FIG. 2 , the term 'resident' refers to a case in which recommendation information for the stores 232 and 232 located inside the living range 220 of the information provider is provided by classifying it as an outsider. Similarly, the name of the outsider is a case in which recommendation information for the shops 235 and 236 located outside the life range 220 of the information provider is provided. In the case of the drawing, the classification is expressed as a resident and an outsider, but the expression for this may vary.

In the case of FIG. 3 , the screen 350 according to the present invention includes a location menu 301 and a range menu 305 where the user can select a place of interest and a range of interest that the user wants to search, and recommendation information 310 for a store. Consists of.

Here, the location menu is a menu for the user to select a place of interest to which the recommended information of the store is to be exposed. In the case of the screen 300, the current location, which is a place of interest, or home and work, which are places of interest, can be selected through the location menu 301 . Accordingly, in the present invention, the place of interest may include a living place.

In the case of the drawing, the range of interest can be selected from the range menu 305 . In this case, the place of interest refers to a place that the user wants to search for, and recommended information on a store located inside the range of interest determined based on the POI may be exposed on the user's screen.

That is, in the present invention, the place of interest is a place where the user wants to search for a store, and the range of interest refers to a search range of a store determined from the place of interest. The range of interest may be determined in the same principle as the range of life described above.

Therefore, in the present specification, the meaning of being defined in the range of interest determined from the place of interest means that the range of interest is provided by the user or that the range of interest already set as a basis in the corresponding system can be used. In the case of FIG. 3, the interest range is provided to be provided by the user.

In the case of FIG. 3 , the recommendation information 310 exposes a plurality of searched shops on the screen in the form of a list, and the recommendation information of each shop includes recommendation scores 312 and 313 of the corresponding shops. 3 shows a case in which the user sets the place of interest to the current location and the range of interest is set to 5 km. In this case, the recommended information 310 of a store located within a radius of 5 km from the current location is exposed on the screen. The current location is location information acquired by the location acquisition function of the terminal, which will be described later. In the case of the drawing, as shown in FIG. 3, as the range of interest, a distance such as 5 km or 10 km may be selected, or an administrative district such as dong, ri, or eup may be selected. Accordingly, the range of interest may be an administrative area selected by the user terminal as described above.

In the present invention, the location information on the place of interest may be obtained by using a location acquisition function of the corresponding terminal.

The location acquisition function of the terminal may be location information of the terminal acquired through GPS, a base station, a beacon, or any device having a location acquisition function or a combination thereof of the mobile terminal. Therefore, in the present invention, the location acquisition function does not matter which method is used as long as the location can be acquired through the terminal. However, as a specific example, the terminal having a location acquisition function may preferably be a mobile terminal.

In the case of FIG. 3 , the current location of the location menu 301 is location information of the place of interest obtained through the location acquisition function of the user terminal, and thus the screen 300 shows the interest determined based on location information obtained through the terminal. Stores located within the range are searched and the corresponding recommended information is exposed in the form of a list.

The present invention includes the steps of receiving location information on a place of interest from a user terminal; a search step of searching for the store located within a range of interest determined from the place of interest; When the recommendation information includes the recommendation scores 312, 313, 382, 383 and the number of the recommendation scores for each of the stores is a plurality, the recommendation scores for each of the stores searched in the search step are averaged and the classification is performed. Classification (312, 313, 381) according to the step may include an exposure step of controlling to be exposed to the user terminal.

The recommended score corresponding to the store refers to the recommended score for each store.

In the present specification, the average may include averaging by an arbitrary method such as a general average or a weighted average. As a specific example, the information provider may generally provide a recommendation reason as recommendation information along with a recommendation score for the store.

The screen 350 shown in FIG. 4 is a user terminal screen 350 showing recommended information on the selected store when one store is selected from among the plurality of searched stores shown in FIG. 3 . The screen 350 shows a location menu 301 from which a user can select a place of interest, basic information about a store 360, recommendation information 380 provided by an information provider, and a recommendation score included in the recommendation information. It consists of a recommended average score (370).

The screen 350 shows a case in which a plurality of information providers provide recommended information 380 for the store 00 Restaurant 1 . The recommendation information 380 includes the recommendation scores (382,383) provided by each information provider and the reason for the recommendation, averages the recommendation scores (382, 383) of the information providers and classifies (381) to obtain a resident score (312) or a foreigner The score (313) was exposed on the screen.

At this time, the resident score and the foreigner score are classified into locations inside and outside the living range as described above. Specifically, when described with the diagram of FIG. 2 , the resident score 382 indicates that the information provider provided recommended information for the stores 231 and 232 located inside their living range, and the outsider score 383 is This indicates that the information provider has provided recommendation information for the stores 235 and 236 located outside of their living location. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4 , the recommendation information 380 for a store provided by each information provider may be classified 381 as a resident or an outsider and exposed on the screen of the user terminal.

The basic information 360 on the store generally includes location information 361 on the store, which may be provided by the information provider or may be provided in advance. In addition, the information provider can provide recommendation information 380 including recommendation scores 382 and 383 for a specific store by signing in to the recommendation service according to the present invention and creating an account, and the recommendation information 380 may be displayed on the screen for each account as shown in the figure. At this time, the recommendation information 380 provided by the information provider may be exposed including information classified 381 according to the present invention, ie, residents or outsiders, along with a nickname or recommendation score or recommendation reason or recommendation or like. .

The present invention may be such that the total number of the recommendation points is exposed to the user terminal.

In addition, the present invention may be configured to expose the total number of recommended points of stores provided from inside or outside the living range to the user terminal. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 , the present invention exposes the total number of recommended points for the store 375 on the screen of the user terminal together with the resident score 312 and the outsider score 313 that are the recommended average score 370 . can do. Through this, the user can recognize that the recommended score is an average of the recommended scores provided by several information providers.

The present invention provides a location-based information providing method implemented as a computing device and including location information on a store, the method comprising: receiving location information on a living place 210 from an information provider terminal; searching for a store located within the living range 220 determined from the living place using the two location information and requesting recommendation information including a recommendation score for the searched store; receiving the recommendation information for the store from the information provider terminal; The method may include controlling to expose the recommendation information for the store located within a preset interest range to the requesting terminal.

That is, the present invention may be a request to the user for recommendation information on a store located within the living range of the information provider in order to receive only recommendation information on a store within the living range, that is, a regular store. The present invention provides a message or notice requesting the information provider to provide recommended information about the store to the information provider when subscribing to the service, using a store located within the range of life, or in the vicinity of the store. It may include a method such as a notification.

The present invention is characterized in that the maximum number of registered stores that can be recommended within the living range is predetermined.

The present invention provides a method of recommending a store near the home or work place, which is the living place of an information provider. For this reason, the number of stores that the information provider can recommend within the living range may be limited to the maximum number of registered stores. This is because the fact that the number of stores recommended by the information provider is too large is because there is a possibility of recommending stores for commercial purposes, and the maximum number of registered stores may be a means to prevent this.

The present invention may be configured to request the information provider to input the recommendation information so as to provide the recommendation information for a store within the living range. In order to induce input of the recommendation information, a message requesting the recommendation of the store is transmitted to the terminal when the information provider visits or is near a store where the information provider is located within the living range, or when signing up You may be asked to enter recommended information.

5 shows a diagram of a simplified map 400a in the case where the living range according to the present invention is divided into two 420a and 420b.

In the present invention, the living range is divided into two or more, and the maximum registered number of the recommendation information that can be recommended in each of the living ranges may be different.

Two or more of the living ranges 420a and 420b according to the present invention may be included based on the living place 410 of the information provider. In this case, the living range may be determined with a certain radius based on the living place 410 . In addition, the living ranges may be formed so as not to overlap each other. In the case of FIG. 5 , two shops 431 and 432 are located in the inner living range 420a, one store 433 is located in the outer living range 420b, and one store ( 435) is located.

The reason for dividing the living range into two or more is because the information provider generally knows more information about a store closer to his or her living location. It is intended to vary the maximum number of registered stores that can be recommended.

The present invention provides a method for providing location-based information that is implemented as a computing device and includes location information for a store, the method comprising: creating an account by an information provider from an information providing terminal; providing recommended information for the store by classifying the store into frequently used stores and non-stores from the information providing terminal; and controlling the classified recommendation information to be exposed to a user terminal, and may be configured such that the maximum number of registered stores classified as the frequently used stores is predetermined.

The method according to the present invention can provide recommended information for a store after the information provider joins and creates an account. For example, stores that are frequently used and stores that are not frequently used may be classified into a regular store and a general store and displayed on the screen of the corresponding terminal. That is, exposing the classified recommendation information means classifying and exposing the recommended information into the frequently used store and the non-stored store.

Since the present invention intends to classify and provide recommended information on stores into regular and non-regular stores, the maximum number of registered stores that can be registered in the case of regular stores is predetermined so that information providers do not register too many stores as regular stores. can

The present invention is characterized in that the maximum registered number is made differently depending on the type of business of the store.

In this specification, a store may be a target for a store of any industry, such as a restaurant, a dentist, a coffee shop, or a car center. For this reason, the number of regular stores that an individual generally uses a lot in the vicinity of the living place can be restricted from registering more than that by setting the maximum number of registered stores in advance according to the type of business of the store.

In general, the location information for the store can be selected by searching for the name of the store after selecting a specific location or administrative district. In this case, the selected store may include basic information of the store, such as a store location, a phone number, and a product or service item.

The present invention may further include a menu in which only one of the stores located inside or outside the living range can be selected to be exposed on the screen of the corresponding terminal. Likewise, it may be configured to select one of the frequently used or not frequently used stores and show only the selected stores.

Hereinafter, a method for providing information about a person having the same origin information in the vicinity of a living place according to the present invention will be described. 6 to 8 are diagrams of a method of recommending a person having the same origin information according to the present invention. Contents not specifically mentioned herein may be the same as those of the previously mentioned recommendation method.

6 is a flowchart of a method of recommending a person with the same origin information according to the present invention, FIG. 7 is a diagram of a map 600 showing a range of users, and FIG. 8 is a person with the same origin information according to the present invention It is a diagram showing a screen 700 of a terminal that recommends .

The present invention provides a location-based information providing method implemented by a computing device, comprising the steps of: receiving (510) user location information and origin information for living places or places of interest or both from a user terminal; receiving, from the counterpart terminal, location information and origin information of the other party on the living place or current location (520); a search step (530) of searching for the counterpart located within a user range (620) determined from the user location information and matching the user origin information using the location information of the user and the counterpart; This is accomplished, including the step 540 of controlling the counterpart information 730 corresponding to the counterpart found in the search step to be exposed to the user terminal.

In the present invention, the origin information may include at least one of the hometown or the foreigner, the nationality of the foreigner, or the use of the same foreign language.

The present invention may provide a method of exposing a counterpart having the same origin information as a user to a user terminal, wherein the origin information may include at least one of hometown or foreign nationality or nationality of a foreigner or use of the same foreign language.

In the present invention, the same origin information means that the hometown of the user and the other party is the same, or they are all foreigners, or they all use the same foreign language, or they are all foreigners and have the same nationality.
