Method for Providing Regional Geomantic Information using Mobile Communication Device having GPS Function}

The present invention provides a method for providing feng shui geographic information for each location using a GPS mobile communication terminal, more specifically, after confirming in real time the current location of the mobile communication terminal using a GPS signal, the user receives the feng shui geographic information of the location where the terminal is located. The present invention relates to a method for notifying a mobile communication terminal.

In the conventional method, the public must accompany a feng shui thinker in order to find out the feng shui geographic information, or visit a desired place, or ask a feng shui geographic thinker with a photograph of a desired area, which has a disadvantage of costly and time consuming.

On the other hand, for the feng shui geographically famous place is already well-organized feng shui geographic information of the region, such information can be obtained through a booklet or a website.

However, the general public often wants to know the feng shui geographic information of a specific location, such as when a scenic spot is found while traveling or hiking. In such a case, it is cumbersome to check the location (address) of the area, take a picture of the surroundings, and later refer to the Feng Shui manual separately or go to the Feng Shui Geographical Thinker to obtain the information. In particular, it is more difficult to obtain feng shui geographic information by the above process because it is difficult to obtain information about the area such as address, area name, etc. in remote areas.

On the other hand, with the recent proliferation of mobile communication services, almost all citizens are provided with one or more mobile communication services. The mobile communication service provides a wireless internet service, a location function, etc., following a basic voice call, a text and voice message service.

The positioning function using the mobile communication terminal may be implemented by a method using a cell location of a mobile communication terminal registered in a home location register (HLR) and a method using location information by a global positioning system (GPS). .

The method using the cell location information with the terminal has a radius of the cell, that is, the error of about several km, so it is difficult to accurately track the position. However, if the GPS or DGPS (Differential GPS) system is used, the error of several m to tens of meters Branches can provide relatively accurate location information.

Recently, the GPS positioning function "gpsOne" has been added to Qualcomm's CDMA modem chip, MSM 3300. Using GPS signals from satellites, fast and accurate positioning can be achieved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, by using the GPS function of the mobile communication terminal to accurately grasp the location of the place where the user of the terminal, and to provide the feng shui geographic information about the location to the terminal all the above-mentioned disadvantages You can overcome it.

The mobile communication terminal having such a function transmits the current location information of the terminal calculated from the GPS signal or the GPS signal received from the GPS function module to the feng shui geographical information providing server when a user requests the provision of the feng shui geographic information from the user. 2) a function of receiving and outputting a feng shui geographic information message of a corresponding region received from a server.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 1 shows the overall configuration of a system for providing a feng shui geographic information providing service according to the present invention.

The entire system according to the present invention includes a GPS mobile communication terminal 110 having a GPS function module, a feng shui geographic information providing server 120 linked to a database 121 storing feng shui geographic information, and a base station (BS); 131, a mobile communication network 130 including a mobile communication exchange (MSC) 132.

The mobile communication terminal 110 used in the present invention receives a GPS signal from a visible satellite and, if necessary, receives a GPS signal in addition to an input unit, an output unit, a storage unit, a wireless transceiver, and a control unit like a general mobile communication terminal. It should be provided with a GPS function module 111 that can calculate the terminal position on the basis. In addition, it should be equipped with a function to receive and output text or voice messages.

The GPS function module 111 may be implemented by using a wireless communication chip having a GPS function as described above, ① simply receives the GPS signal and adds the unique code of the terminal to the received GPS signal to check the external location It may have a function of transmitting to the system, or (ii) demodulating and analyzing the received GPS signal in addition to the above function to calculate the current position information (longitude + latitude) of the terminal.

In the above ①, "Location Confirmation System" is a system capable of receiving a GPS signal from the terminal and calculating the position of the terminal based on the system. The system is integrated with a mobile communication exchange (MSC) or a feng shui geographic information providing server or is a separate system. It can be implemented as.

The mobile communication terminal 110 may have any form as long as it has a GPS function module. That is, it is a broad concept that includes all terminals such as GSM or CDMA cellular phones, PCS, IMT-2000, PDA, handheld PC.

Feng shui geographic information providing server 120 1) retrieves the feng shui geographic information database 121 linked to the function to extract the feng shui geographic information corresponding to the location of the terminal, and 2) the text and / image including the extracted feng shui geographic information It generates a message and transmits it to the terminal. In addition, 3) by incorporating a positioning system may further include a function of receiving a GPS signal from the terminal and calculating the position of the terminal based on the GPS signal.

In addition, the feng shui geographic information providing server 120 may be linked to a predetermined message transmission system such as a short message transmission system (SMSC) in order to transmit the created message to the terminal.

The process of calculating the terminal position from the GPS signal is as follows.

GPS signals include signals from GPS satellites such as satellite identification codes and signal transmission times, and the GPS positioning system (feng shui geographic information provision server) or GPS terminal determines the pseudo-range from the satellite to the terminal. By correcting various errors (clock error, satellite orbit error, multipath error, etc.), accurate distance between satellite and terminal is obtained. Knowing the pseudoranges of three or more satellites, the location of a point on the earth's surface can be determined by trigonometry. In the case of a single satellite navigation system using only pseudo distances, a large error of about several tens of meters is generated, but when the phase of a carrier wave can be accurately understood, accuracy of several centimeters can be secured. .

The location information calculated using the GPS signal is usually composed of longitude and latitude, so the area cannot be recognized correctly. Therefore, if necessary, it may have a function of matching administrative location information corresponding to longitude and latitude with reference to an external geographic information DB.

Since the method of calculating the position of the object using the GPS signal corresponds to a general GPS technology, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Feng shui geographic information providing server 120 refers to a system that collects and stores feng shui geographic information for each region, and converts it into a data form that can be used by a user. However, the feng shui geographic information providing server in the present invention is linked to the mobile communication network by wire or wireless, it should be using a predetermined protocol to recognize the data transmitted and received. The feng shui geographical information providing server according to the present invention may be implemented by hardware such as a computer and predetermined software installed therein.

On the other hand, in the feng shui geographic information database 121 linked with the feng shui geographic information providing server 120, a table having a location (region) information field, a feng shui geographic information field for the region is stored. The structure of such a database will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 below.

The mobile communication network 130 includes a base station (BS) 131, a mobile communication exchange (MSC) 132, and the like. In the present invention, a separate short message transmission system (SMSC) is used to transmit a written (text) message to a terminal. It may be further provided. Since other mobile communication networks can use the conventional method as it is, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Figure 2 shows the overall flow of the feng shui geographic information service provided by the present invention.

First, it is determined whether the GPS function module of the terminal can simultaneously receive the GPS signal and the position calculation (S211), and if the position calculation is possible, transmits an information providing request including the calculated current terminal position information to the server ( S213). If the terminal cannot be calculated, the server transmits an information providing request including the received GPS signal to the server, and the received server calculates the location information of the corresponding terminal (S212 and S214).

After the location information is confirmed, the feng shui geographic information providing server searches the feng shui geographic information DB to check whether there is feng shui geographic information corresponding to the location (region) of the terminal (S216), and extracts the corresponding feng shui geographic information if there is ( S217). If there is no feng shui geographical information that exactly matches the location of the terminal, the feng shui geographical information of the nearest location (region) is extracted. At this time, the position movement information between the terminal position and the adjacent position is calculated together (S218).

Next, a message including extracted feng shui geographic information and position movement information, if necessary, is created (S219). As shown in the example of FIG. 4, the message may be a text message in which the location, the feng shui geographic information at the corresponding location, and, if necessary, the location movement information are simply written in text form. However, as shown in FIG. 4C, the map information DB or other image information DB may be linked to provide map information or image information related to the corresponding location.

The feng shui geographical information message thus prepared is transmitted to the corresponding mobile communication terminal via the mobile communication network and displayed (S220).

3 shows an example of a table stored in the feng shui geographic information DB of the present invention.

The feng shui geographic information storage table shown includes positioning location information fields such as longitude and latitude, administrative location information fields, feng shui geographic information fields, and other image fields. Such feng shui geographic information can be obtained through feng shui geography books or materials, and if necessary, the feng shui geographic thinkers can visit each region and obtain it. Regional classification of feng shui geographic information can be carried out by sub-administrative districts such as dong (ri) or district number, but locations without special feng shui geographic information can be excluded from the database. Therefore, because the feng shui geographic information for all locations are not provided, if the user of the information-less location requests the provision of information, instead provide the feng shui geographic information of the nearest neighbors, at this time corresponding to the corresponding feng shui geographic information It provides location movement information such as distance to the location, direction.

For example, in FIG. 3, when a user located in region A (E126.23.20, N37.35.12) requests to provide feng shui geographic information, since there is no corresponding information, location B (E126.23.00) is the closest location in the database. , N37.34.50) to provide feng shui geographic information, along with information such as "150m southwest point" that is the movement information from location A to location B.

4 shows an example of a mobile communication terminal screen when the method according to the present invention is performed.

4A shows an additional service menu item of a terminal, and a "feng shui geographic information service" menu according to the present invention is provided. When this item is selected, the terminal automatically calculates a location using a GPS signal and transmits it to the Feng Shui geographical information providing server, and receives and transmits a message as shown in FIGS. 4B to 4D.

4B illustrates an example of the received Feng Shui geographic information message, and includes the current location and the Feng Shui geographic information in a text form.

On the other hand, if necessary, as shown in Figure 4c, it may include a map or image information in addition to the text message.

FIG. 4D is a screen for providing feng shui geographic information of an adjacent region because there is no feng shui geographic information corresponding to a terminal location, and location movement information is provided together with a message as shown in FIG. 4B.

By using the method of the present invention as described above, it is possible to provide the feng shui geographic information on the area where the user is located in real time, the user can conveniently check the feng shui geographic information of the place where he is with the mobile communication terminal is convenient.

Therefore, it is possible to diversify the service of the mobile communication terminal with a GPS function.
