Description

MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR CAR POOL}

The present invention relates to a method of carpooling. More specifically, when grasping the location information of a driver and a passenger for using a carpool, and setting and storing the carpool information through the wireless Internet, the user's desired condition (gender) , Age group, occupation, hobbies, etc.), matching the driver and passengers that meet the starting point and destination conditions, and carpooling through the process of identifying the location information to the destination set by the user to check the safety.

These three sectors are so important that today's national competitiveness depends on the technical level of the industrial sectors related to the movement of information and goods such as transportation, telecommunications and tourism. In particular, in the 21st century's information age, developed countries are using communication technology to solve serious traffic problems and environmental problems, and are trying to develop new technologies.

Location-Based Services (LBS) is a technology for measuring the location of a mobile terminal using a mobile communication network or satellite signal and providing various information services related to the measured location.

Location-based services are emerging as new contents of mobile carriers and wireless internet market, and are expected to be a core technology of the information and communication industry as a variety of innovative 21st century high-tech services using location information in mobile environment to replace wired. Typical LBS applications include location-based electronic commerce combined with mobile commerce such as emergency rescue system using location information, disaster prevention, public safety service system such as disaster disaster handling, telematics combined with ITS for real-time traffic information, logistics, and mobile payment, and online using real-time location information. A service system that provides games and various information services.

In recent years, in Seoul and other major metropolitan areas, traffic has been intensified due to the rapid increase in automobiles, resulting in enormous economic losses. However, the transportation facility expansion project to alleviate traffic congestion requires enormous financial resources and its investment effects only occur after a long period of time, so there is a limit to continuously investing government finance in transportation investment projects. In addition, traffic congestion is aggravated by the construction of transportation facilities, and various problems are raised, and separate traffic measures are required. As a policy means to compensate for this, various traffic demand management policies are being promoted. Among them, there is a method of increasing the ride rate of relatively low car traffic through active recommendation of car-carrying.

The demand for wide-area traffic is increasing due to urban expansion and large-scale land development, but there are not enough wide-area transportation facilities to deal with it. The lack of sufficient wide-area transportation facilities has led to the simultaneous construction of large-scale non-satisfactory residential complexes in the vicinity of Seoul in a short period of time, causing many problems in the spatial structure and transportation system of the metropolitan area.

However, the main reasons why the carpool is not activated include the preference of the vehicle alone, difficulty in finding passengers in the same direction (lack of information), irregular travel (working) hours, and lack of incentives for the carpool vehicle (borrower). Safety is a prerequisite to ensure that carpools can be smoothly carried out by a large number of unspecified people who are not familiar with each other.

Conventional technology has been able to compensate for the problem of lack of information due to personal phone appointments or wired internet applications. I couldn't solve the anxiety so people couldn't solve the carpooling.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method of increasing the safety and efficiency of a carpool, and more particularly, when a carpool is made to a terminal such as a mobile phone of a driver and a passenger, a signal is not detected at a destination set by a user using the location information. If it is not, the process of requesting attention confirmation through emergency contact, etc., allows carpool users to carpool more reliably about personal safety. In addition, by using the driver's location information on the route to the destination set by the driver, if there is a passenger to be riding, the information can be delivered to the driver in real time to effectively increase the riding rate.

1 is a block diagram of a system for performing a method of carpooling through a wireless Internet using location information according to the present invention.

The GPS satellite 1 sends satellite signals to a terminal equipped with a GPS chip.

In the case of a driver or passenger's terminal 2 and a terminal equipped with a GPS chip, the GPS satellite signal is received, the satellite information is received from the mobile communication network, and the location information is transmitted to the mobile communication company 4.

In the case of a terminal without a GPS chip,

By using the base station 3, which is a basic element of the mobile communication network, the mobile station 4 transmits the location information obtained through the strength or direction of the signal between the base station and the terminal to the mobile communication company 4.

The mobile communication company 4 having the location information measurement technology sends the location information received from the user's terminal to the carpool service company 5.

The carpool service company 5 stores basic data necessary for the user to access and carry out the carpool. The carpool service company 5 processes and sets a condition corresponding to the data set by the driver or passenger and provides the user with the condition.

The carpool member 6 accesses the carpool service company 5 through the wired Internet, and then performs a membership to use the carpool provided by the carpool service company 5.

When the carpool is made between the driver and the passenger, the financial institution 7 performs the payment for the used amount.
