Description

The method and communication system which has schedule alarm function by locative information}

The present invention relates to a method for providing a destination arrival time using location information and a communication means thereof.

In particular, after tracking and detecting the current location of a specific person through a portable mobile communication device and satellite means, and substituting it sufficiently into the surrounding conditions such as various geographic information and traffic network, the other party or selected third party in real time The present invention relates to a method of providing an operation system and a communication means thereof, which are considered to be usefully used for transporting goods, traveling, and traveling.

Recently, even though the whole country has entered the daily life zone due to the expansion of the road network, the complicated internal traffic situation and the performance of the complex tasks make it difficult to predict the time required for the movement.

In other words, a person who is unable to accurately grasp the arrival time of the destination not only for a carrier such as a courier, which is obliged to deliver the goods within a fixed time period, but also for public affairs such as business trips and meetings, as well as private affairs such as travel and visits, Or waiters are both bored and wasted time, as well as disrupting other tasks.

For example, in all cases except those who enjoy free travel regardless of time, it is always necessary to continue a fixed course according to a certain time, and this predictability in time has a special meaning to anyone other than the traveling person (user). In the economic society of today, time and expense predictability must be assumed for mutual benefits and economic life.

Conventionally, in order to confirm an optimal road condition for a destination for a user who needs to travel, one-way information is provided in real time on a vehicle-mounted navigation using a satellite navigation device or a general condition for arriving at a destination using a portable mobile communication device. I could get it.

That is, by using these various devices, it is possible to recognize the current location of the user as well as the state of the road and the way of moving, so that the user is not confused. However, all these system operations are provided mainly for the user. The problem involved is that the destination counterpart or a specific third party cannot share this information.

In addition, various obstacles expected during the movement, such as weather conditions, such as weather changes, are not immediately provided, which lowers the predictability, and various useful information about the surroundings on the route (tourist spots, restrooms, gas stations, convenience stores, etc.) There is also a lack of explanation about the situation in practical terms does not give the user any benefits.

Moreover, due to the development and establishment of various means of public transportation, the route setting should be upgraded quickly in the situation where the route and the route change every day, but it is realistically met by the compatibility of communication equipment, cost increase and time constraints. I can't.

In addition, since most of the conventional systems and implementation methods are only user-centered as described above, their location information cannot be shared among family members, relatives or acquaintances, and the safety of the mobile system and travel is problematic. The provision of information through mobile communication devices, etc., is likely to be transmitted to the neighbors without any filtering when using public transportation, so there is a risk of privacy exposure.

On the other hand, if a switch operation or a notification on the screen is needed without a voice or a simple operation in case of an emergency, the phone number of the necessary organization (eg 112, 119, etc.) is continuously informed until a connection is made to a close family member or acquaintance. There is a problem that the service is not provided satisfactorily even in the part that needs to be helped by receiving the movement route in real time.

Therefore, in addition to the fragmentary information such as the right turn and the left turn at a few meters ahead of the road proceeding direction in the conventional way or system, the representative buildings or road characteristics of the surroundings are more realistically explained by voice so that the vehicle can be operated without looking directly at the monitor. Even if you are focused, you will be introduced to the surrounding tourist attractions, convenience facilities, and topical information as if accompanied by a travel guide, and users who use public transportation can enjoy the benefits of traveling with the crew. It is urgently required to have a system that can receive the necessary services for individuals and receive notification services of certain contents even during phone calls.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to meet the above-mentioned problem and the requirements, the geography and roads, railroads, routes (air, sea) and public transport stops and weather conditions for providing the estimated time of arrival of the user's destination It is possible to easily deliver information on the status of the entire transportation network, including the historical site, to the user as well as to a specific selected third party in real time. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an operation method and communication means for realizing user's satisfaction by receiving.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention compares the user's location detected according to the operation of the system with the data in the server-side database, transmits the current location to the user's system, receives such information, the date and time of departure and location, etc. As the user who checks the contents of the reservation separately selects the destination and the transportation method, the user is provided with the calculation of the time and cost according to the movement route and the transportation method in real time, or the transportation, accommodation, amusement facilities, Receiving a notification function such as reservation, maintenance, and designation of a comprehensive use facility such as a shopping facility, and setting a start of a notification service when the proximity to the designated location is completed;

According to the input destination, the moving position of the system is automatically tracked in real time by interlocking with the database on the server side, and asks whether to use the notification service that delivers the current location to the designated person, or to guide the traffic or the historical site. And requesting information on current events and related areas, and when such a guide is made, various surrounding conditions of the destination's progress can be provided by voice and video. After transmitting the location, and after the transmission is completed through the response service of the receiver is provided additional services such as confirmation of the reception result and call service, if you do not want to switch back to the initial notification service location to enable repeated execution ; And after executing the above steps, a periodic thread for detecting a proximity point is operated, whereby a service for notifying of arrival schedule is provided when a proximity point preset by the user is reached. In this case, the user notifies the third party of the designation or instructs the means of connection in case of an emergency due to an accident or danger of the vehicle, repeats until the connection is made by a processing unit confirming whether such a connection is successful, and continues even after the notification of connection. At the same time, when the series of procedures is completed, the system switches to the notification service of the system and counts a predetermined time according to the status result to check whether the user responds to the notification. The steps to be completed are sequentially provided.

In addition, the communication means of the present invention comprises a real-time storage unit having a variety of geographical maps and traffic network data, such as roads, railroads, routes and public transport routes; A location identification detector operating in association with various portable devices; A display unit which compares and adjusts the inputted information in real time in the comparison unit of the traffic network data, and displays the current location and inputs the means of transportation and the destination through the display unit to indicate the movement state; A position movement tracking unit for indicating a current position for comparison and adjustment with a destination; An expected arrival notification unit for automatically notifying a location when a predetermined distance or more reaches a designated destination; A detection unit for detecting location information by various signals or radio waves transmitted from personal portable communication devices and professional devices that the user carries; An input unit such as a destination, transportation means, reservation, etc. using the above devices in real time and a location movement tracking unit of the input device; The location movement tracking unit, various traffic network information, real-time prediction information of routes, stops, weather conditions, etc. of public transportation are made in real time, and compared and corrected in real time between the information and data of the above devices and the means of transportation and An automatic starting point designation unit for automatically designating a starting point in accordance with a reservation of the vehicle; A comparison unit for comparing and adjusting the data of the real-time movement route according to the destination and the transportation means inputted by the portable mobile communication device and the specialized device; a target point proximity recognition unit checking whether the target distance is reached close to the target point; ; And a notification unit notifying the user of the arrival schedule as well as notifying the above-described contents to the selected third party.
