Description

Method and system for sharing multilateral location information {Method and System for Sharing Multilateral Location Information}

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method and system for sharing location information among multiple parties.

The contents described below merely provide background information related to the present embodiment and do not constitute prior art.

LBS (Location-Based System) generally measures the location of a single user and then displays it on a terminal. The LBS for confirming the location of a plurality of users indicates only the current location of the plurality of users.

Multilateral location sharing technology using a conventional GPS radio and a wired/wireless repeater for location sharing displays the current location of one's own location and the locations of other GPS radios with dots. However, all locations of other GPS radios including its own location on a GPS radio belonging to a specific group are displayed. A specific group includes a group of GPS radios having the same frequency channel assigned to the GPS radios.

When displaying a location, GPS radio information belonging to that location is displayed for each location, and the GPS radio information includes information indicating the owner of the GPS radio or a radio-specific number.

An identification code number to distinguish each GPS radio is given and transmitted together when location information is transmitted, so when the location information received from the wired/wireless repeater for location sharing is displayed on the screen by location of each GPS radio, the identification code number is used. After classification, GPS radio information belonging to the location is displayed.

However, there is no security measure for the location information of the user of the GPS radio and there is a restriction that the same frequency channel must be used.

A system for sharing entry and exit information between a guardian and a ward using a conventional smart device and a system for correcting terminal location information by sharing GPS exist. However, the conventional location information technology has a problem in that a plurality of users cannot share the same location information, and cannot check the location of another user in real time and quickly check the arrival time and route.

In this embodiment, when each of a plurality of users from different locations wants to move to the same destination, the departure time can be adjusted based on the travel route, travel time, travel distance, and traffic volume to the destination based on each departure location. To provide a multilateral location sharing method and device for sharing each other's location and moving state while moving to the same destination by determining a possible break time and a joining point on the travel route while moving to the destination. There is a purpose.

According to one aspect of this embodiment, a user invitation unit for inviting a plurality of user accounts; a location information sharing group creation unit that collects user accounts that have accepted the invitation and creates a multi-party location information sharing group; a destination setting unit for setting a common destination for the location information sharing group; a means of transportation setting unit that receives a means of transportation to the destination for each user account corresponding to the location information sharing group; a movement route generation unit for calculating a movement route to the destination using the movement means based on departure location information for each user account corresponding to the location information sharing group; A location information sharing unit configured to allow user accounts corresponding to the location information sharing group to share the departure location information, the destination location, and the movement route with each other.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when each of a plurality of users in different locations wants to move to the same destination, based on the travel route, travel time, travel distance, and traffic volume to the destination based on their departure location It is possible to share the departure time so that the departure time can be adjusted, and it is possible to share the location and movement status while moving to the same destination by determining the possible break time and the joining point on the travel route while moving to the destination. .
