The present invention relates to a method for setting a destination using an identifier of a moving object and a method for providing location information therefor. More particularly, the present invention relates to an object (for example, a mobile phone number, a mobile phone number) for a moving object (vehicle / portable telematics terminal). Search for the route by requesting / acquiring the location information through IP address search, and when receiving the location information request from the outside, only the authorized requester provides the personal location information, so that not only the fixed position object but also the moving object The present invention relates to a method for setting a destination using an identifier of a moving object and a method for providing location information therefor, so as to be set and protect personal location information.

Recently, with the development of communication technology, inputting the current location and destination into a telematics terminal (vehicle / portable telematics terminal) calculates the optimal route and the shortest route from the current location to the destination and provides the user with the image and voice. Information service is common. Here, the name, address, landline phone number and the like are searched for setting the destination.

On the other hand, the biggest difference between a telematics terminal and a general navigation terminal is the presence of a communication module. IS 95A / B, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA 1x / EvDO / EVDV), GSM, GPRS, WCDMA (UMTS), Wireless LAN and the like are used as communication modules, and communication modules such as HSDPA, WiBro, Ultra Wand Band (UWB), BcN, and 4G mobile communication are expected to be used in the future. Existing navigation terminals are expected to evolve into telematics terminals in connection with communication modules.

In order to provide telematics services, it is essential to know the location of the telematics terminal. The technique for acquiring position information is called Position Determination Technology (PDT), which is a network-based positioning method for determining the position of the terminal using the base station position, and the position of the terminal using satellite signals. A handset-based positioning method that tracks and a hybrid positioning method for increasing location accuracy by mixing the two positioning methods is currently utilized. In addition, according to the diversification and high performance of the sensor, a sensor-based positioning method for tracking the location of indoor / outdoor terminals using a position sensor has also been developed.

Here, in terms of each positioning method, the network-based positioning method uses an angle of arrival (AOA), a time of arrival (TOA), and a time difference of arrival (TDOA) of a transmission signal, respectively. Can be classified as a scheme. In addition, handset-based positioning methods include navigation satellite positioning systems such as GPS, Galileo and GLONASS, and GYRO sensors and wheels to overcome the shadow area of the satellite positioning system and increase accuracy. Wheel system, speed sensor, acceleration sensor, and so on.

On the other hand, in recent years in the related field market, the location information protection law passed in Korea, and the location information service (LBS: Location Based Service) has been vigorous due to the approval of the location information service provider. In addition, the current telematics terminal is a vehicle telematics terminal attached to the vehicle and a portable telematics terminal that can be attached and detached by the user by the user has been spread, the position of the mobile terminal (moving object) in view of this market situation It is expected that the technology of receiving information and navigating paths will be quite useful.

The present invention has been proposed to meet the above expectations, and requests / obtains location information by searching for an identifier (eg, mobile phone number, IP address) of the object with respect to a moving object (vehicle / portable telematics terminal). , And when requested to provide location information from the outside, by providing the personal location information only to the authorized requester, it is possible to set a dynamic object as a destination as well as a static object, and to protect the personal location information An object of the present invention is to provide a method for setting a destination using an identifier of A and a method for providing location information therefor.

That is, the present invention obtains the location information for the object of the fixed location through the existing name / address / line phone number search, the route search as well as the location information for the moving object (vehicle / portable telematics terminal) through the identifier search. Fixed location by requesting and acquiring, using this to navigate the route, and delivering the location information from the outside to the authorized requester according to the step-by-step policy registered in the information protection table.

There will be. In addition, in describing the present invention, when it is determined that the detailed description of the known technology related to the present invention may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a whole telematics service system to which the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 1, the entire telematics service system to which the present invention is applied includes a telematics terminal A 100 and a telematics terminal B 900, a personal location information protection module 300, a location-based service server 400, Telematics service server 500, and real-time traffic information providing server 600.

Here, the telematics service server 500 communicates with the location-based service server 400 and the real-time traffic information providing server 600 to transmit corresponding information to the telematics terminals A and B 100 and 900. Of course, the telematics terminal A, B (100, 900) and the location-based service server 400, the real-time traffic information providing server 600 may be implemented to be directly connected.

The personal location information protection module 300 may be embedded in the telematics terminals A and B 100 and 900, and may be functionally included in the location based service server 400 or the telematics service server 500. It can also exist as a separate server.

The telematics terminal A (100), which is the requesting terminal, and the telematics terminal B (900), which is the target terminal, use the short message service (SMS) and the transmission control protocol by using the communication module A 102 and the communication module B 902, respectively. It exchanges information with each other through protocols such as Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) and HTP.

That is, the telematics terminal A 100 receives the location information from the telematics terminal B 900, and uses the positioning module A 101 to grasp its current location. Then, by setting their location information and the location information of the target terminal as a starting point and a destination, respectively, the user starts the road guidance service. In this case, the traffic information may be provided from the real-time traffic information providing server 600 to provide a road guide service reflecting the traffic information.

Internal operations of the telematics terminal A 100 as the request terminal and the telematics terminal B 900 as the target terminal will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, respectively.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a destination setting method using an identifier of a moving object according to the present invention.

First, the telematics terminal A 100, which is a request terminal, drives a route guidance service program according to an external input (user input) (201) and receives a destination setting method (202). Of course, in addition to the road guidance service, it is obvious that various application services requesting location information of the target terminal may be started according to an external input.

In operation 203, the type of the selected destination setting method is determined.

At this time, the identifier search of the mobile object (target terminal) is provided as a destination setting method together with a name search, an address search, a landline telephone number search, a recent destination search, etc. which are existing destination setting methods. Here, the identifier of the mobile object may uniquely identify the target terminal such as a mobile communication telephone number, a mobile identification number, a fixed IP address, and the like.

When the result of the determination of the destination setting method 203 is selected, an existing destination setting method (name / address / line telephone number search, etc.) is processed according to a known prior art 210.

On the other hand, when the determination result of the destination setting method 203, when the identifier search method of the moving object is selected, the identifier of the moving object is searched and selected (204). In operation 205, the mobile terminal requests location information to the selected target terminal, that is, the telematics terminal B 900.

At this time, the communication module A 102 of the telematics terminal A 100 transmits the telematics terminal B 900 through a short messaging service (SMS), a transmission control protocol / Internet protocol (TCP / IP), HTP (HTTP), or the like. Communicates with communication module B 902 to exchange various requests and information.

Subsequently, as telematics terminal A 100 receives location information from telematics terminal B 900 (206), its current location information acquired using positioning module A 101 and the received telematics terminal B. A starting point and a destination are set using the location information of 900 (207). That is, set the path.

In operation 208, a route (eg, a shortest route and an optimal route) is searched for and a route guidance service is provided to the user. In this case, the route guidance service may be provided in the form of multimedia data such as an image and a voice. In this case, when the route deviates or notices and exceptions occur, the process of setting the route and searching for the route is repeated.

In this case, the traffic information may be received from the real-time traffic information providing server 600 and reflected in the route search. In addition, when the route search in the terminal is not smooth due to the limitation of the central processing unit (CPU), memory, etc. of the telematics terminal A 100 that performs the route search, the telematics service server 500 performs the route search after the route search is performed. It may be implemented to provide the result to the telematics terminal A (100).

3A to 3C are diagrams illustrating an embodiment of a path search based on a movement state of a target terminal.

3A shows a route search in the telematics terminal A 100 when the telematics terminal B 900 serving as a target terminal is waiting at a fixed position for reasons of emergency rescue and emergency call. Here, when the telematics terminal B 900 starts to move, the telematics terminal B 900 transmits its movement information (location information, etc.) to the telematics terminal A 100 according to the information protection policy, and is switched to the states of FIGS. 3B and 3C.

3B illustrates a case where the telematics terminal A 100, which is a requesting terminal, and the telematics terminal B 900, which is a target terminal, move to search for a route to an intermediate point (area A) or a predetermined meeting point (area B) in time. In this case, the intermediate point in time (area A) refers to a parking point, a point of interest (POI), etc. as a temporal intermediate point reflecting traffic conditions, and a specific meeting place is a separate place designated to each other. Therefore, at this time, the destination is set using future location information on the moving route and time information from the current time to the future location.

3C illustrates a path search in the telematics terminal A 100 without knowing the path of the telematics terminal B 900 as the target terminal. At this time, periodically or aperiodically, the location information of the telematics terminal B 900 is updated and transmitted to the telematics terminal A 100 to repeat the path setting and the path searching process.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for providing location information according to the present invention.

Currently, the telematics terminal B 900 is in a state of storing an information protection table for providing an information protection policy (location information provision policy) in order to protect individual location information (401).

First, the telematics terminal B 900 is requested to provide location information from the telematics terminal A 100 through the communication module B 902 (402).

Thereafter, the telematics terminal B 900 searches the information protection table (403) and checks whether the requestor (request terminal) is registered (404).

As a result of the registration check result 404, if the registered requestor checks the corresponding location information provision policy (405). Then, the location information is provided or rejected according to the checked location information provision policy (406).

For example, if there is a four-step policy, the four-step policy is applied to each step by step "Refuse to provide location information (always refuse)", "Provide location information after agreement (Allow after agreement)", "Provide location information after notification." (Allow after notification) "," Allow location information provision (Always allowed) "If the policy for providing location information is" Rejection of location information ", the location information is not provided to the requester. In the case of "providing location information", the user is asked whether or not to provide the location information, and the user is provided or rejected accordingly. In the case of "providing location information after the notification", the user is notified of the location information provision and then provided to the requester In the case of "allow location information provision", the location information is provided to the requestor.

On the other hand, if the registration check result 404, if not the registered requestor, the user is asked whether or not to provide the location information and provide or reject accordingly (that is, provide the location information according to the user input) Or refuse to provide) (407). In this case, the requestor may be registered in the information protection table according to a user input. Here, the information protection table will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

5 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an information protection table for protecting personal location information.

As shown in FIG. 5, the information protection table is a subscriber (identifier, nickname), application services (eg, directions service, location information providing service), requestor (identifier), due date (starting) for protecting the individual's location information And end), and other (in case of exception), location information provision policy can be changed in detail according to each item combination. That is, since a plurality of items are set and the location information provision policy is changed according to the combination, different location information provision policies can be provided for each requestor, each service, and time zone.

And accordingly, the location information provision policy can be provided step by step. For example, even if the request for providing location information for the same application service of the same requester, some or all of the four-step location information providing policy may be used in parallel according to the time zone in which the request time is included.

Here, the telematics terminal B (900) checks the identifier of the requestor, the type of application service (eg, directions, providing location information), and the period of providing according to the request for providing the location information from the telematics terminal A (100). The operation is performed according to the corresponding location information provision policy. For example, upon receiving a request for providing location information from a requester having an identifier of "010-1234-5678," confirms a time limit and a type of application service. As a result, location information is immediately available without a user's consent procedure. To the requestor. As another example, when a request for providing location information is requested from a requester having an identifier of "010-9999-9999", the time limit and the type of application service are checked, and as a result, they correspond to the data recorded in the information protection table. Accordingly, the requester of the location information is rejected without the user's consent procedure.

In the case of other (excepted) items, the exceptions and applicable rules of the location information provision policy may be defined in a separate format.

In addition, when the telematics terminal B 900 does not have a separate positioning module, the telematics terminal B 900 receives its location information from an external location based service (LBS) server 400 to the telematics terminal A 100. Or, if the telematics terminal A (100) does not have a separate positioning module, the telematics terminal A (100) is provided with an external location based service (LBS) server under the permission of the telematics terminal B (900). It may be implemented to receive the location information of the telematics terminal B 900 directly from 400.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a recording medium (CD-ROM, RAM, ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.) in a computer-readable form. Since this process can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art will not be described in more detail.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by the drawings.

The present invention as described above, by enabling the destination can be set through the identifier search of the moving object (vehicle / portable telematics terminal), there is an effect that can provide a road guidance service to the dynamic destination.

In addition, the present invention provides the location information according to the location information provision policy of the information protection table when providing the location information, it is effective to protect the personal location information.
