The goal is to provide a public transportation station certification management system that provides a variety of information and economic profits, and can further encourage the revitalization of commercial districts around public transportation stations.

According to various embodiments of the present invention to solve the problems described above, a public transportation station authentication management system includes a user terminal that transmits an authentication signal to the outside every time a user using public transportation uses a public transportation station; A server that stores pre-registered user information and, upon receiving the authentication signal from the user terminal, grants points to the user and designates the user with the most accumulated points within a first period as the station manager; Including a station-only app installed on the user terminal to specify the current location for generating the authentication signal, wherein the authentication signal includes current location information provided by a GPS built into the user terminal and the public transportation It is characterized in that it is generated when the absolute location information for the station matches.

Preferably, the station-only app provides a route map of the public transport when the user selects a specific public transport, displays the user's current location on the route map, and selects a specific public transport station on the route map. The authentication signal is generated only when the user is located within a set radius.

Preferably, when the server provides the points to the user, the server delivers a push message to the user's terminal whether or not to view the advertisement, and provides additional points when the user views the advertisement.

Preferably, each station manager of the public transportation station is given the authority to receive advertisements or postings, and a portion of the advertisement revenue is paid in the form of points or cash.

Figure 2 is an example diagram showing the range of authentication signal generation for a specific public transportation station implemented on the bus route map by running the station-specific app.

Hereinafter, a public transportation station authentication management system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

1 is a schematic diagram of a public transportation station authentication management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the public transportation station authentication management system according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a user terminal 100, a server 200, and a station-specific app 300.

The user terminal 100 transmits an authentication signal to the outside whenever the user 10 uses the public transportation station. The user terminal 100 refers to a smartphone.

Here, the concept of a user using a public transportation station means that the user not only gets on or off at a specific station, but also passes through any public transportation station on the way to the destination by taking public transportation such as a bus or subway, as well as walking. This also includes cases passing nearby.

The user 10 installs the station-only app 300 on his or her user terminal 100, and runs the station-only app 300 so that the user can specify his or her current location. Basically, when you run the station dedicated app (300), a map-based public transportation route map is displayed, and the initial execution screen provides options that allow the user to select area settings, type of public transportation, and identification number of public transportation, etc. Make it possible. The public transportation route map may be in the same form as an actual map, as shown in Figure 1 or 2, or may be presented listed in the order of stations where public transportation stops.

For example, if the region is Busan, the type of public transportation is a bus, and the public transportation identification number is 57, the route map of the bus is displayed and the current user's location is displayed on the route map.

Since the user terminal 100 includes a GPS function, it can confirm the user's real-time current location.

When the public transportation station route map is activated by running the station dedicated app 300 installed on the user terminal 100, the user's current location is displayed on the route map, and when the user wants to authenticate for a specific public transportation station, the user's current location is displayed. Allows you to specify the location.

That is, if the current user wishes to authenticate a specific station called “A” on the route map, the user selects station “A”. At this time, absolute location information for station “A” is extracted, and at the same time, the user terminal 100 Current location information provided by GPS is extracted.

At this time, an authentication signal is generated only when the absolute location information for the specific selected public transportation station matches the current location information, and the authentication signal generated in this way is transmitted to the server 200.

For example, if the user is at station "B" instead of station "A" and selects station "A", the absolute location information becomes the coordinate value of "A", but the coordinate value of "B" is extracted from the current location information. This causes a mutual mismatch and the authentication signal is not generated.

Through this verification process, the validity of the authentication signal transmitted to the server 200 is secured by ensuring that the authentication signal can be generated only at the actual public transportation station where the user is currently located, thereby encouraging users to use public transportation more effectively. We aim to achieve economic benefits through various conveniences and fair competition.

On the other hand, more preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, when the user runs the station dedicated app 300 and selects a public transportation station on the route map of the selected public transportation station, the user can be located within a radius set around the selected specific public transportation station. Only then is it determined that the current location information matches the absolute location information and an authentication signal is generated.

In other words, the coordinate values of the current location information compared to the absolute location information do not necessarily have to be 100% identical, and an authentication signal is generated even if it is within a radius range set around a specific public transportation station.

For example, to determine whether the absolute location information for generating an authentication signal matches the current location information, if the user is located within a 200M radius around a specific public transportation station, it is determined that the user is located at the specific selected public transportation station. It's the same as doing.

The server 200, which is another important component of the present invention, stores pre-registered user information, and upon receiving the authentication signal from the user terminal 100, points are given to the user, and the first period The user with the most accumulated points is designated as the force leader.

Here, the first period may be a relatively short period such as 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, or 3 months compared to the second period to be described later, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The server 200 may further include a data storage unit (not shown) in which pre-registered user information is stored, and the data storage unit includes the registered user's public transportation station usage history, user name, user's contact information, and accumulated information. Point information accumulated, point information accumulated during the first period, etc. may be stored.

The server 200 provides information on users with the highest n% points within the first period (where n is a natural number) and point information on the corresponding users to already registered users. For example, the server 200 may output information on the top three users and the point information of the three users within the first period to the user terminal 100, which presents goals to other users and helps them acquire points. It is to encourage.

The server 200 awards a predetermined number of points to the user selected as the most station manager or the user who obtained the most points during the second period longer than the first period, and exposes the user information to other users. Here, the second period may vary depending on the first period, and the second period may be a period such as 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, or 1 year, for example.

The operator who operates the public transportation station authentication management system according to an embodiment of the present invention awards separate awards other than point payments to the user who was selected as the most station manager or the user who earned the most points during the second period and presents a prize. can do.

Preferably, a user selected as a station manager during the first period may be excluded when electing a station manager for the second period. In other words, by preventing the station chief of a specific station from reappointing, more people are given the opportunity to become a station manager, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the system.

Meanwhile, the first period or second period for electing a station manager at each public transportation station may have the following meaning.

The first period may be monthly, that is, from the 1st to the last day of each month, and the second period may be until the last day of the following month accumulated in the first period. Meanwhile, the second period may mean from the 1st to the last day of a new month regardless of the first period.

The second period set will vary depending on the term of office of the elected station manager. Preferably, it would be reasonable to set the station manager's term of office to one month and elect a new station manager every month in terms of giving a fair opportunity to more users.

As a normal authentication signal is transmitted from the user terminal 100 to the server 200, the user is paid a certain number of points, and the points paid in this way can be accumulated and used for electing a station manager or for other user convenience.

At the same time, when the user transmits the authentication signal to the server 200, the server 200 sends a push message to the user terminal 100 to determine whether the advertisement has been viewed, and the user of the user terminal 100 who received this push message sees the advertisement. If so, provide additional points.

Advertisements that users can view through push messages sent from the server 200 to the user terminal 100 may include various cultural information or commercial district information located around a specific public transportation station.

Cultural information may be information on major tourist attractions, government office information, various performance information, hot place information, etc. around a specific public transportation station, and commercial information may be information on restaurants, shopping information, convenience store information, etc. around a specific public transportation station. .

More specifically, the server 200 may include an approval unit 210, a chatting unit 220, a recommendation unit 230, and a surrounding information unit 240.

The approval unit 210 requests payment of advertising fees from advertisers who have requested advertisements to be provided to users at each specific public transportation station. In other words, an advertiser who wants to advertise through the payment unit 210 can select a specific public transportation station and request an advertisement, and when the payment amount according to the advertising conditions is confirmed, the advertiser pays the advertising cost.

In particular, the present invention has the feature that when an advertisement is received and paid for at a specific public transportation station and revenue is generated, a portion of the advertising fee is distributed to the station manager elected at each public transportation station.

In other words, the activation of this system can be further encouraged by allowing station managers elected according to certain criteria at each specific public transportation station to share small but economic rewards or profits. For example, the station manager of the relevant public transportation station is allowed to receive a 5% profit on the proceeds from advertisements received through the server. In other words, assuming that the monthly advertising fee for a public transportation station called "A" is 500,000 won, the station manager of that station will be provided with a profit of 25,000 won, which is 5% of the advertising fee. And the proceeds paid to the station manager may be paid in points or cash.

In addition, in the present invention, the station manager elected at each specific public transportation station is granted the authority to receive advertisements or postings under the authority of the station manager, and the advertising proceeds generated from advertisements received under the authority of the station manager are allocated to the relevant station manager. It shall be paid to the station master. There are various types of advertisements, and the principle is that they are paid advertisements, but may be free advertisements at the discretion of the station manager. And with the authority of the station manager, posts can be accepted and posted. In addition, advertisements or postings received under the authority of the station manager can be posted after approval from the server operator, thereby resolving problems caused by harmful advertisements.

However, the authority of the station manager of a specific public transportation station to receive advertisements may be limited to one during the period of service of the station manager, or may be limited to 10% of the total number of advertisements that can be received at a specific public transportation station. In other words, if the number of advertisements that a public transportation station called "A" can receive per month is 20, the station manager has the authority to accept 2 advertisements.

The station manager of a specific public transportation station can decide which advertisement to accept among multiple advertisement requests with the advertisement reception authority granted to him, and during this process, the station director can also decide the advertisement fee. Unlike general advertisements, the authority granted to the station manager to accept advertisements allows the station manager to select one of the requested advertisements solely based on the station manager's subjective judgment. If a user named “A” who runs a restaurant near a public transportation station called “A” is elected as the station manager of “A” station, “A” will be able to run a restaurant using the advertisement reception authority granted to the station manager for “A” station. It is possible to promote advertisements for free.

As such, the present invention has the unique feature of providing realistic and direct economic benefits to the person appointed as the station manager of a public transportation station, thereby allowing anyone using public transportation to become a station manager and receive various benefits.

The chatting unit 220 provides a public or private chat function between registered users. The chat unit 220, like a general chat program, enables chatting between users using public transportation, thereby encouraging users to share information about public transportation and commercial areas near public transportation stations.

The user information displayed on the chat program provided by the chat unit 220 may include the type of public transportation currently used by the user and specific public transportation information. However, the type of public transportation currently used by the user and specific public transportation information may be kept private depending on the user's choice.

The recommendation unit 230 provides a space where the user can recommend stores near public transportation stations when the user accesses the device through the user terminal 100. In other words, the recommendation unit 230 may be a type of posting space, and the recommendation unit 230 can simply provide recommended store information uploaded by users in the form of a list. In addition to this method, recommended store information is provided on a two-dimensional map. This allows other users to more easily determine the location of recommended stores.

The surrounding information unit 240 allows the user to access the user terminal 100 and upload photos of areas near the public transportation station. In other words, the surrounding information section 240 may also be a kind of posting space like the recommendation section 230, and the user can upload photos near public transportation stations through a user terminal 100 such as a smartphone, and the surrounding information section 240 may also be a kind of posting space. When a user uploads a photo near a public transportation station through 240, the server 20 may provide a certain amount of points.

As such, the public transportation station certification management system according to the present invention has the advantage of providing benefits not only to many people who use public transportation directly or indirectly, but also to business owners who are self-employed near public transportation stations.

Specifically, users who use public transportation will be able to gain new fun when using public transportation directly or indirectly, and will be able to obtain information on various restaurants and cultural information provided by others while on the move, and will be able to acquire many things through frequent use. If you earn points and are elected as a station manager, you will be able to gain practical economic benefits, and the points you have earned will be able to be used when making payments in commercial areas around public transportation stations, so you will be able to gain tangible benefits.

And many business owners who do business around public transportation stations will be able to attract new customers by advertising at a low cost, thereby achieving economic benefits through increased sales.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the scope of application is diverse. Of course, various modifications and implementations are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the claims.

The present invention is a useful technology that can be used as a platform for using public transportation and revitalizing surrounding commercial districts, as it provides useful information and various benefits to users using public transportation.
