Information System for Individual Travelers {INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR FREE INDIVIDUAL TRAVELLER}

The present invention relates to an information providing system for an individual traveler, a traveler can conveniently use a taxi to search and call or book a taxi driver in a situation in which the use of public transportation is inconvenient or there is no traffic information. If you need to communicate with a foreigner who speaks a different language, especially when you are attending a meeting in a foreign country, you may choose to hire an interpreter in consideration of the conditions of gender, interpreter history, type of foreign language, and date of interpretation. Information system to select and hire guides in consideration of conditions such as gender, guide career, available date, etc. It is about.

Recent diversification and increase of tourism contents (e.g., tourist spotization of film or drama shooting locations, industrial tour tourism following international exhibitions, and local attraction tourist attractions following international conferences), and the government's more convenient immigration policy The number of foreign tourists is increasing rapidly, and this is the time when various industries, both directly and indirectly related to the travel industry, are developing and more industries are required.

Travelers are not easy to use public transport in unfamiliar areas. For example, when a passenger gets off at an airport, train station, or port, it is not easy to understand the transit signs or booklets in unfamiliar environments and unfamiliar languages. There is a case of right and left in the absence of. Most destinations are buses and taxis. However, buses are strangers and travelers need to know the exact time and route of the bus, so it is not easy to use the bus.

However, if a traveler wants to take a taxi, the taxi driver is concerned with communication problems with the taxi driver, unfamiliarity with the foreign taxi driver of the traveler, fear of overcharging the taxi cost, questions of the taxi driver's optimal route use, and safety in unfamiliar environments. Worry about, etc. In fact, when a taxi driver is driving violently or unkindly, everyone feels unpleasant, so there are many concerns as a traveler.

Travelers are not easy to communicate in foreign languages. Travelers may wish to communicate their communications to others depending on the purpose of their trip. For example, if you are traveling for a particular business, you need polite, accurate and quick communication, and if you are attending various meetings orally asking and answering questions, you need to communicate with credibility with evidence. However, it is almost impossible for a traveler to be able to communicate with others on a particular business topic in a foreign language, or to attend a meeting orally to ask and answer questions, unless the traveler is highly advanced.

Travelers with the purpose of communicating their wishes to others should hire an interpreter, but hiring an interpreter from a foreign country is not an easy process and method. In addition, interpreter is a task that solves the communication between each other, but due to the specificity of the interpreter that pre-learning is required for the interpreter according to the interpreter, it is easy to hire the traveler before confirming the interpreter's prior knowledge or trust. not.

The traveler needs a guide to explain the basic knowledge, destination environment, historical background, sites and monuments of the destination. Recently, travelers tend to prefer to travel only by means of travel agencies and to enjoy individual trips at the destinations rather than enjoying group trips as planned by travel agencies. In particular, individual travel is popular with individual travelers because it has the advantage of being able to act freely regardless of other people without traveling according to limited places and times. However, individual travelers should know in advance the basic knowledge, destination environment, historical background, historical sites, monuments, etc. in order to enjoy an effective trip, but in fact, except for very meticulous travelers, they do not have much information in advance. Only enjoy. These individual travelers get the necessary prior knowledge at the destination by pamphlets, etc. In fact, the guide's help is very effective at the destination. However, it is almost impossible for an individual traveler to hire a guide at the destination and even if hired, it is difficult to achieve a predetermined purpose because it is not systematic in terms of fare and expertise. In addition, hiring a guide by a foreign traveler is not realistically easy because it requires hiring a guide who speaks a foreign language.

On the other hand, the system using a taxi according to the prior art is composed of a system for exchanging information between a radio base station having a radio transceiver operated by a taxi combination and a taxi having a terminal device for transmitting and receiving information from the radio base station, When a passenger requests a vacant taxi from the radio base station, the radio base station receives a vacant taxi corresponding to the information requested by the passenger and sends a taxi to the area requested by the passenger.

In addition, the system for hiring an interpreter according to the prior art is a system for hiring an interpreter after requesting and acquiring necessary information from a system for providing a foreign language and a pre-booking date. In addition, it is necessary to check the user more carefully except for interpreters that are employed by reliable companies.

In addition, the guide employment system according to the prior art is a system in which a user requests and acquires necessary information from a system that provides only a guideable area and a guideable date, and then employs a guide. In addition, a more careful user check is required except for guides employed by reliable companies. And it is not easy to hire a personal guide as an individual traveler.

The above-mentioned taxi use system is a system for passengers who are only for domestic or simply arriving at their destination, and it is not easy for a traveler to pre-book a taxi, and information about the driver's age, the driver's photo, and the driver's foreign language in advance As it is unknown, it is not easy to use for strangers. In addition, the system using a conventional taxi is mostly a system using a telephone, so it is not easy to use for foreign travelers.

In the above-described interpreter employment system, since the traveler must make a phone call for each interpreter company or access the interpreter website and acquire only the foreign language and the pre-booking date, the interpreter should be verbally verified and the recruitment process can be inconvenient and time-consuming. have.

The guide hiring system described above is unreliable and inconvenient in the hiring process because the traveler must call each guide company or access the Gai website and simply obtain the guide's guideable area and guided date and then verbally verify the guide. This can be time consuming.

In summary, the above-described conventional taxi system, interpreter employment system, and guide employment system are used by individual travelers, and when taxis are used, there may be concerns about safe driving, communication problems with the driver, and trust problems. In the case of hiring an interpreter and guide, problems such as inconvenience in the hiring process, unresolved trust between each other and much time can be caused.

In view of the above, there is a need for an information providing system for individual travelers integrating the above three systems which is necessary for individual travelers as a solution that complements each taxi use system, interpreter employment system, and guide employment system according to the prior art.
