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 movement schedule management system based on location and time according to the present invention.

According to the present invention, the location information of a young child having a mobile terminal 10 having a GPS (Global Positioning System) function is linked with the map information and a preset child's schedule, and the child's location and movement path according to time are preliminary. It is characterized by notifying the parents of the child's location and status information when a difference (deviation) occurs above the reference value by comparing with the set information.

The movement schedule management system according to the present invention, as shown in the figure, comprises a location information receiving unit 121, information management unit 122, schedule management unit 123, and information transmitter 124. Hereinafter, each component will be described in detail.

The location information receiving unit 121 periodically receives location information (for example, GPS coordinates) from the child's portable terminal 10 or locates from an RFID reader installed in a city facility (for example, a street lamp or a building). The information is obtained and transmitted to the information manager 122.

The information management unit 122 inputs a "movement schedule based on time and location" (for example, setting information about a transit / arrival point (area), a designated route, an estimated time of arrival for each point, etc.) from a parent terminal. Receive and register, define event occurrence conditions and event messages regarding what situation (event) should be notified to the parent, and generate the movement path information by receiving the location information of the child's mobile terminal from the location information receiver 121 do. According to an exemplary embodiment, the information manager 122 may receive a movement schedule through an electronic map on the web.

The schedule manager 123 compares the mobile schedule management service-related setting information stored in the information manager 122 with real-time location information (child's location information) and determines which event has occurred.

When the schedule manager 123 determines that a specific event has occurred, the information transmitter 124 receives the corresponding event message stored / managed by the information manager 122 and transmits the event message to the parent terminal. In addition, when the parent requests the child's location information, the information transmitter 124 receives the child's location information, the movement route information, and the map information from the information manager 122 to display the child's location and path on the web map. Notify the terminal.

Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of the overall management of the moving schedule according to the present invention, a process for the child to leave the house 20 in the morning to arrive at the school 22 as an example.

First, the parent sets the service control information (201), the specific setting method can be set through online or offline. In this case, the service control information includes a travel schedule such as a child's attendance time and a travel path (travel path set by the guardian) 21, an event occurrence condition and a period, a reference range over the path, a reference range over the time, and the like. .

In accordance with the service control information registration as described above, the information management unit 122 transfers the child's predetermined schedule and the route planning from the departure point to the destination, the crime zone information limiting the child's access, the child's location and state information To manage the condition or to store the location information of the child periodically transmitted from the location information receiving unit 121 to generate the movement path information. The information manager 122 also stores national road and map information.

The child's terminal transmits his / her location information received from a satellite or the like to the mobile schedule management system (server) (202), and the location information thus transmitted is stored by the information manager 122 (203). Here, the child's terminal is equipped with a GPS module (GPS location tracking module) that allows the satellite to track the location of the child in real time, and also periodically moves the current location information through the mobile communication network (12) And a transmission means for transmitting to the device.

The movement schedule management system 12 receives a movement schedule for a child to be protected from the guardian terminal 14 and receives a current position from the child terminal 10, and the position obtained in real time with the registered movement schedule. The information is compared (204) and an event is generated if the difference is outside the reference range.

When the event situation occurs, the mobile schedule management system 12 transmits the corresponding event message to the guardian terminal (205, 206).

On the other hand, the guardian can request the location and status information of the child being protected at any time (207), the travel schedule management system 12 displays the child's current location and path on the web map when the request is made to the guardian terminal Notify (208).

3 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a movement schedule management method based on location and time according to the present invention.

When a child possessing a mobile terminal (child terminal), which is the target of mobile schedule management, leaves home for school (300), the GPS satellite tracks the position of the child terminal (302) to provide location information to the child terminal. to provide.

The child terminal having obtained the location information from the satellite transmits the acquired location information to the mobile schedule management system (more precisely, the location information receiver) through the network (304). Then, the location information receiver 121 transmits the received location information to the information manager 122 (306).

The schedule management unit 123 compares the movement state of the child with the movement state based on the current position received by the location information receiving unit 121, and determines whether the route is deviated and whether the waypoint / destination is reached within the expected time. The specific process is the following "308", "310", "312", "316" process. In other words, through the process of "308", "310", "312", "316", whether the location of each point on the schedule schedule, the schedule schedule and the location of the child's time zone, and the copper route plan It is possible to determine whether the actual movement route of the child matches or arrive at the point within the desired time along the set route, which allows the parent to manage the schedule and movement of the child.

The schedule manager 123 compares the location of each child on the moving schedule plan of the child previously set (registered) by the parent with the current location information of the child (308). As a result of the comparison, when the current position is a position for each point, the prediction time on the guardian designation path is reset (314). That is, the schedule management unit 123 sets the current child's position as the starting point and resets (updates) the arrival prediction time for each section on the parent designated path to the destination (school) (314).

On the contrary, when the current location does not correspond to the location for each point (308), the schedule management unit 123 determines the time zone location of the child's moving schedule plan previously set (registered) by the parent and the current location information of the child. Compare 310. If the current position of the child outside the position specified by the parent at that time exceeds the reference range set by the parent, the schedule management unit 123 immediately informs the parent of the child's position and status information (320).

At this time, the method of notifying the parents may be a short text transmission (SMS) method of transmitting a text message to the parent portable terminal, or the parent may directly access the mobile schedule management system (server) by using a computer to check the location of the child on the web map. You may.

On the other hand, if the current location does not correspond to the location for each point (308), the schedule management unit 123 determines whether the current location information of the child on the moving path designated by the parent, the guardian (312). If the current position of the child deviates from the path specified by the parent exceeds the standard range set by the parent, the schedule management unit 123 immediately informs the parent of the child's location and status information (320).

As a result of the determination of "310" and "312", when the current location is a time zone position on the child schedule plan or a caregiver-designated path, feedback is made to the child position estimation process 302.

If the current location corresponds to the location of each point in the child's schedule plan (308), if the predicted time on the guardian-designated path is reset (314), the schedule management unit 123 moves according to the child's schedule plan (school) in advance The arrival prediction (prediction) time of each section on the route is compared with the actual arrival time of the child (316). If the difference between the estimated time the child will arrive at the current location and the actual arrival time of the child exceeds the reference range set by the parent, the schedule management unit 123 immediately notifies the parent of the child's location and status information (320) ). Here, the prediction time can be calculated based on the average travel speed of the child and the distance from the home (home) to the destination (school).

Thereafter, when the child arrives at the destination (school), the schedule management unit 123 notifies the parent that the child has entered a specific area. In addition, the schedule management unit 123 calculates the time required from the starting point to the destination along the moving path and compares the result with the schedule planning time in the information management unit 122, when the reference range set by the parent is exceeded. Immediately notify parents of their child's location and status (318).

Although not shown in FIG. 3, according to an embodiment, the parent may be notified by checking whether a specific place (eg, a school) has departed within an expected time.

4 is a configuration diagram of an exemplary embodiment of a movement schedule management table according to the present invention. For example, when a parent sets a reference range at which a difference may occur over time, it is stored in the information manager 122. Show your child's schedule and mobilization plan.

That is, FIG. 4 shows a path from which the guardian starts from the house 40 to the school 43 via the A point 41 and the B point 42 and goes to the institute 44 after finishing the lesson at the school. And the arrival time set for each point on the route.

The schedule manager 123 recalculates the arrival time of the child for each point using the time set by the guardian, the actual arrival time of the child, and a reference range value in which a difference may occur in time.

In FIG. 4, since the guardian sets a difference of 10 minutes at each point, and sets the reference range value that can be different in time to 3 minutes, the time recalculated by the schedule management unit 123 is also 10 minutes at each point. The difference is shown, and the same three minutes of reference range apply.

When the child arrives at each point, the schedule management unit 123 notifies the parent of the child's location and status information using the recalculated time to the destination (school) 43. In this embodiment, when the child arrives at point B, the schedule management unit 123 uses the child's actual arrival time (8:01) and the recalculated time (7: 58 ± 3 minutes) to inform the parents of the child's location and Notify the status information. The present invention may control the time the child stays at a specific point based on the child's movement schedule (schedule plan and moving plan). Since the child's dismissal time is set to 13: 00 ± 3 minutes in FIG. 4, the schedule management unit 123 of the child at the set dismissal time based on the child's position information received through the location information receiving unit 121. Notify parents of location and status information.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing location and status information of a protected person according to a parental request according to the present invention. When a parent requests a parent terminal (guardian) by displaying a current location and a path of a child on a web map. Terminal).

When the child who is the guardian departs from home for school (500) and moves to school, the GPS satellite tracks the location of the child terminal and provides location information (502).

When the child terminal transmits the location information obtained from the GPS satellites to the location information receiver 121 of the mobile schedule management system 12 (504), the location information receiver 121 transmits the location information received from the child terminal to the information manager ( 122, 506).

The information manager 122 stores / manages the child's location information periodically received as described above, and if a request for the child's location and moving path is requested from the guardian's terminal (508), the information transmitter 124 is stored / managed. The location information is used to provide information on the current location and movement state of the child (510).

If the parent wants to check the child's current location and moving path, the information transmitter 124 displays the current location and moving path information of the child stored in the information manager 122 on the web map to provide the parent. In addition, the information transmitter 124 also provides event information generated during the movement of the child.

On the other hand, the method of the present invention as described above can be written in a computer program. And the code and code segments constituting the program can be easily inferred by a computer programmer in the art.
