The present invention relates to a technology for serving location information for a mobile communication terminal using a character broadcasting service (CBS) and a platform application, and more particularly, by linking an application of a terminal platform with a location based service (LBS) of a CBS. The present invention relates to a location information service method of a mobile communication terminal using a character broadcasting service and a location based service to provide a location based service.

As a representative example of a mobile communication terminal, there is a mobile phone. Recently, the penetration rate of mobile phones is rapidly increasing and it is becoming a necessity of modern people. Such a mobile phone can be referred to as a multimedia communication device in terms of its function as it provides not only a unique voice call service but also various data transmission services and various additional services.

However, in the conventional mobile phone, it is impossible to receive the location information service at a relatively low cost.

Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a more stable location-based service by interworking the LBS of the CBS and the application of the terminal platform.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a service for notifying the location of a specific person such as a family at predetermined time intervals using a CBS message and a terminal platform application.

According to a first embodiment of a method of providing location information of a mobile communication terminal using a text broadcasting service and a location based service according to the present invention, a platform application is downloaded and mounted on a terminal, and a schedule through which a user wants to receive location information service is provided. A first step of transmitting the location information to a location information service company or a service provider server; A second step of organizing and storing information such as a schedule, a location, and the like, of a user actually receiving a service, including terminal information of a user who wants a service in the server; When the user reaches a desired schedule, a third process of periodically transmitting the location information message stored in the server to the terminal in real time using the CBS.

The second embodiment of the method of location information service of a mobile communication terminal using a text broadcasting service and a location-based service according to the present invention downloads a platform application and mounts it on a subscriber terminal related to CBS interworking, thereby providing a location information notification service. A first step of receiving information, such as a target, a service schedule, and a location, to be received from a subscriber and transmitting the information to a related server; Transmitting a CBS message sequentially a predetermined number of times from the server to a region of a predetermined location coordinate value when the location information notification service start time is reached; The terminal receives the CBS message and transmits a response signal to the server, and the server transmits the location information based on this to the subscriber station so that the location information is displayed on the terminal. When described in detail with reference to Figures 1 and 2 the process of processing the location information service of the present invention made as described above.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, in consideration of being able to send a message to a specific location, which is one of the characteristics of the CBS message, the location information is transmitted to users using the LBS.

In this regard, each terminal to which the present invention is applied is equipped with an application based on a platform (wipi, witop, Brew, etc.) to perform an interface role as described below between a user and a carrier.

After the user downloads the platform application from his terminal to receive the location information using the CBS according to the present invention, the user runs the application to schedule and area the location information service through the location information service company or communication Deliver to server of provider side.

As a result, the application serves as an interface between the terminal and the server for transmitting the relevant information to the server in order to interwork with the CBS or to apply for and change the location information service.

Of course, the schedule should include not only the schedule to receive the service but also the location information to receive the actual service. To this end, the platform application is run, and after receiving a service schedule and location from a user, a data call is attempted and transmitted to a related server.

When the server receives the information, the information including the terminal information of the user who wants the service, the schedule, location, etc., which the user actually wants to receive the service is organized and stored in a predetermined format, and the service is provided to the user when the corresponding schedule is reached. .

That is, when the user reaches a desired schedule, the communication service provider periodically transmits the location information message stored by the user to the user in real time using the CBS. Since the CBS transmitting place continuously transmits the CBS message to the region of the predetermined location coordinate value, the terminal must be located in the corresponding area in order to receive the message to properly receive the service.

When the user receives the CBS message (but CBS related to location information), the user recognizes the current location as the same area as the content of the message and then uses the local information (eg, map information) in the message content. You can easily find where you want to go.

In order to better use the location information message as described above, the user can use the information if he or she specifies that the user can receive the location information message from the place where he can go by himself without the location information. So you can get to your destination more easily.

If you specify that you want to receive services from the road you can not find yourself as described above, the CBS sends a message based on the location, so the user cannot receive the CBS message unless the user enters the designated location.

Meanwhile, the second embodiment of the present invention can send a message to a specific location, which is one of the characteristics of the CBS message, that is, a specific site (eg, a family love location service site) by using the characteristics of the location-based service (LBS). Customers who have subscribed to can receive the current location information of their family (eg children) by time zone.

In this regard, a terminal platform (wipi, witop, Brew, etc.) application related to CBS interworking is downloaded and mounted in the terminal to which the present invention is applied. There is a server dedicated to the location information service that will communicate with the application, where the overall information about the subscriber is managed.

The location information service communication between the subscriber station and the server as described above is performed as described below.

When the subscriber wants to receive the location information notification service using the CBS according to the present invention, by running the application, through this, information such as a target (eg, a child's mobile phone number), a service schedule, and location to receive the location information notification service Enter the number, try to call the data (Data Call) and send the information to the relevant server will be in the standby state.

The server receiving the information stores subscriber-related information including terminal information of a subscriber who wants to service and starts location information notification service to the subscriber when the service start time is reached.

At this time, the CBS message transmitted from the server is repeatedly transmitted to the region of the predetermined position coordinate value, the terminal of the child must be located in the region (eg kindergarten or academy) in order to receive the CBS message.

Due to the characteristics of the CBS message, regions are divided and transmitted by coordinates, so that the CBS message is sequentially transmitted a predetermined number of times by dividing the region selected by the subscriber into units that can be subdivided as much as possible.

In this case, the terminal of the child checks whether the received CBS message is a service related message, and if it is found to be the message, transmits a response signal (ACK) to the server through the loaded platform application.

Accordingly, the server transmits the identified child's location information to the subscriber terminal.

In addition, the terminal of the subscriber waiting for the location information displays the location information of the child transmitted from the server through the mounted platform application to confirm that the current child is located in the intended place.

As described in detail above, the present invention provides a more stable location-based service by interworking with the CBS location-based service (LBS) and the application of the terminal platform, and does not know how to receive geographic information without any additional cost from the user's point of view. There is an effect that you can easily go to.

In addition, by using the CBS message and the terminal platform application to implement a service that informs the location of a specific person, such as a family at a predetermined time interval, from the user's point of view, the current location of the child, such as children can be easily identified from a remote location It has an effect.
