BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, It can be easily carried out. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. 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 customized traffic information providing apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus for providing customized traffic information according to the present invention includes a traffic information processing unit 11 for processing traffic information provided from the traffic information collection center 30 according to user location information and driving information. ), A streaming processing unit 12 for converting the traffic information processed by the traffic information processing unit 11 into a content format for IPTV broadcasting, and the traffic information converted by the streaming processing unit 12 into a broadcast program to form a user terminal. And a program knitting unit 13 for transmitting to the 20.

In addition, the present invention further includes a storage unit 14 for storing the traffic information processed by the traffic information processing unit 11.

Here, the program organizer 13 organizes the traffic information converted by the streaming processor 12 into a broadcast program form according to a user's request and transmits the traffic information to the user terminal 20. For example, road information and driving information are displayed in text, and a program is organized so that CCTV image photographs of major intersections are automatically output.

In addition, the traffic information includes traffic broadcasting information, CCTV image information, aerial photographs, road surface information, weather information.

In addition, the traffic information processing unit 11 reconstructs the traffic information according to the location information and the driving information of the user, except for unnecessary information.

For example, if the driving information, that is, the starting point is Seoul and the destination is Busan, the user terminal periodically transmits its location information to the customized traffic information providing device in the situation of moving from Busan to Seoul. In this case, it is assumed that the driving information is already transmitted.

Then, the customized traffic information providing apparatus transmits the traffic information on the driving route, for example, 1 km, 5 km, 10 km, 30 km, and 50 km before the user terminal based on the corresponding location.

As a result, the customized traffic information providing apparatus 10 receives traffic related information data such as traffic information broadcasting, CCTV image information, aerial photographs, road surface information, etc. received from the traffic information collection center 30 through the traffic information processing unit 11. Process according to user's location information and driving information. That is, the traffic information processing unit 11 is a format for converting and compressing a traffic broadcasting module. By processing a large amount of traffic information such as road traffic information, safety driving information, and environmental state information, the streaming processing unit 12 formats the content for IPTV broadcasting. To enable live streaming.

In this process, the necessary information on the driving route is first collected and processed based on the location information of the user, and the stored traffic information is organized into a program in the form of a broadcast through the program organizer 13, and the streaming processor 12 Is transmitted to the user terminal 20 through the WiBro network.

At this time, if the authentication is normally processed when the access request from the user terminal 20, the traffic information processing unit 11 checks whether the user request information pre-set from the user exists, if there is a traffic in accordance with the request information preferentially Process the information. Of course, there is no request information previously set by the user, or information provided on the driving route based on the location information of the user at the first access.

The traffic information provided by the present invention organizes image and video information in real time according to the direction (operation information) of the driver and delivers the corresponding information in a broadcast form to the driver's terminal. That is, when the route is set in the navigation, the multimedia information is provided to the driver to assist the driver in selecting the driving course when information corresponding to the driver's area and a sudden or delay condition to the destination occur.

2 is an exemplary view of traffic information provided by the customized traffic information providing apparatus according to the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the traffic information provided by the customized traffic information providing apparatus according to the present invention includes road state information, media information, traffic broadcast information, and real-time broadcast (EPG: Electronic Program Guide) information.

Here, the road state information includes vehicle average speed, road road condition, road blocking status, road surface temperature, sudden situation, section average speed, corresponding road image information, and the like. In this case, the road state information is data that changes with time, and if the train does not leave the road for a predetermined time, the traffic information is periodically requested and provided.

Each connection structure has a 1: N or 1: 1 connection structure. Each piece of information (data) may be entirely delivered to the terminal, or only the corresponding data may be delivered at the request of the terminal.

The data delivery method is constructed in a structure that can be extended to XML data, and when the location information of the user terminal is transmitted to the customized traffic information providing device, the customized traffic information providing device constructs and transmits the most suitable traffic information for the location of the user terminal. do.

The collected traffic information (including image and video information such as CCTV, etc.) includes the reference ID of the media information. When the driver requests media information of the corresponding road, the terminal receives the data from the server and displays it to the driver. Also, through the traffic information sensor, disaster image information including UCC can be provided upon request.

In addition, when reporting the location information to the streaming processing unit 12 in the navigation according to the driving route, the customized traffic information providing apparatus provides the corresponding traffic information using the location information of the user terminal.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing customized traffic information according to the present invention.

First, location information and driving information are provided from a user terminal. That is, the traffic information is requested (301).

Thereafter, the traffic information is processed according to the received location information and driving information (302).

Thereafter, the processed traffic information is converted into a content format for IPTV broadcasting (303).

Thereafter, the converted traffic information is organized into a broadcast program and transmitted to the user terminal (304).

In addition, the processed traffic information may be stored.

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. In addition, the written program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (information storage medium), and read and executed by a computer to implement the method of the present invention. The recording medium may include any type of computer readable recording medium.
