The user can designate a target who wants to receive the reception service by the service organization 150 as well as the user himself. For example, when a user-hosted meeting is held at the service organization 150, the user may designate subjects who participate in the meeting as the target of the reservation reception service. At this time, the reservation reception guide device 130 may request the server of the communication network 120 to authenticate access for the users designated as targets of the reservation reception service.

The server of the communication network 120 may perform authentication for access of the reservation reception guide device 130 to terminals of users designated as targets of the reservation reception service in two steps. In the present specification, for convenience of description, a process of acquiring an access authentication for the terminal 110 by the server of the communication network 120 will be described as an embodiment.

The server of the communication network 120 may perform a first step authentication process for the reservation reception guide device 130 and a second step authentication process for access to the terminal 110 of the reservation reception guide device 130. For example, the reservation reception guide device 130 generates a first authentication key for the reservation reception guide device 130 and transmits the first authentication key to a server of the communication network 120. The server of the communication network 120 receives the first authentication key and determines whether the first authentication key has been generated by a predefined authentication rule. The authentication for the reservation reception guide device 130 is an authentication process for whether the reservation reception guide device 130 is an authentication object having a right to perform the reservation reception guide service.

If authentication of the first authentication key is successful, the reservation reception guide device 130 may request authentication of the terminal 110 from a server of the communication network 120. The server of the communication network 120 may request the second authentication key from the reservation reception guide device 130 and request the third authentication key from the terminal 110. The terminal 110 may transmit the pre-stored third authentication key to the server of the communication network 120. The server of the communication network 120 determines whether to allow access of the reservation reception guide device 130 to the terminal 110 based on the second authentication key and the third authentication key.

In this case, the third authentication key stored in advance in the terminal 110 may be previously transmitted from the reservation reception guide device 130 to the terminal 110 via the communication network 120. When the user applies for a reservation reception service using the reception reservation menu of the reservation reception guide device 130, the reservation reception guide device 130 generates a third authentication key and transfers the third authentication key to the terminal 110. send. At this time, the phone number of the terminal 110 may be input by the user through the reception reservation menu. In this case, the third authentication key may be stored in the terminal 110 or may be stored in a server of the communication network 120.

The second authentication key and the third authentication key may be generated using a probability distribution of pseudorandom noise (PRN). For example, the reservation reception guide device 130 may generate a k-bit bit stream having a probability distribution of PRN as a second authentication key. The reservation reception guide device 130 may generate a third authentication key by performing an exclusive logical OR operation between the second authentication key and the common key. The reservation reception guide device 130 transmits a third authentication key to the terminal 110, and stores the second authentication key together with an index indicating the terminal 110.

In this case, the common key may be a predefined bit stream of k bits between the server of the communication network 120 and the reservation reception guide device 130. The server of the communication network 120 may determine whether an operation result of performing an exclusive logical sum operation between the second authentication key and the third authentication key matches the common key. The server of the communication network 120 may allow the reservation reception guide device 130 to obtain location information of the terminal 110 when the operation result matches the common key. The present invention eliminates the risk that personal information of the user of the terminal 110 may leak to the reservation reception guide device 130 by performing authentication between the reservation reception guide device 130 and the terminal 110 in two steps. Then, the information about the terminal 110 is transmitted to the reservation reception guide device 130 only within a range allowed by the user.

The reservation reception guide device 130 may provide a selection menu as a part of the reception reservation menu that allows a user to input a degree of disclosure of his or her information. At this time, the value of the common key used to generate the third authentication key may vary according to the degree of information disclosure selected by the user. The server of the communication network 120 may determine the degree of disclosure of the location information and other information of the terminal 110 according to the result of the exclusive logical sum operation of the second authentication key and the third authentication key.

An example of the option of the degree of disclosure of the location information of the terminal 110 may include an option of providing the reservation reception guide device 130 with the location of the terminal 110 only when the terminal 110 is located in a service area. have. At this time, when the terminal 110 is out of the service area, the server of the communication network 120 notifies the reservation reception guide device 130 that the terminal 110 is out of the service area, and the terminal 110 serves again. The location of the terminal 110 is not informed to the reservation reception guide device 130 until it enters the area. Alternatively, when the terminal 110 is located in a service area or an area adjacent to the service area, the terminal 110 may notify the reservation reception guide device 130 of the location of the terminal 110.

At this time, the server of the communication network 120 can request the scheduled time information of the reception service to the reservation reception guide device 130, the position of the terminal 110 only for a time close to the scheduled time of the reception service Can be notified to the reservation reception guide device 130. Alternatively, there may be an information disclosure option for periodically notifying the reservation reception guide device 130 of the location of the terminal 110 regardless of the location of the terminal 110 for a time near the scheduled time of the reception service.

According to another embodiment, the reservation reception guide device 130 may request the location information of the terminal 110 from the server of the communication network 120 only for a time close to the scheduled time of the reception service. At this time, the server of the communication network 120 may not need the scheduled time information of the reception service.

The reservation reception guide device 130 enters the service institution 150 and receives the reception service, or when the scheduled time of the reception service of the user has reached, the server 110 of the communication network 120 reaches the terminal 110. You may request to stop providing location information for

The reservation reception guide device 130 may provide a reception reservation menu to the user, and obtain current location information of the terminal of the user by using the personal identification information of the user obtained using the reception reservation menu. In this case, the personal identification information of the user may include a telephone number of the user terminal 110. Authentication information such as a second authentication key and a third authentication key generated for access authentication to the terminal 110 may also be regarded as personal identification information in a broad sense.

The reservation reception guide device 130 may access the server of the communication network 120 using the personal identification information, and obtain current location information of the terminal 110 using the personal identification information from the server. At this time, the server of the communication network 120 may transmit the location information of the terminal 110 registered in the HLR (Home Location Register) to the reservation reception guide device 130.

When the reservation reception guide device 130 is recognized that the current location of the terminal 110 is in the service area, the reservation service guide device 130 may notify the service agency 150 of the reception service information.

The location tracking server 140 may be located in the service area and additionally obtain current location information of the terminal 110 by communicating with the terminal 110. The location tracking server may additionally transmit the acquired location information to the service organization 150.

The server of the communication network 120 may estimate the current location of the terminal 110 based on the location of the base station or repeater closest to the current location of the terminal 110. Alternatively, the current position of the terminal 110 may be estimated using the time difference between the signals received from the nearest first base station and at least one second base station adjacent to the first base station. However, this method may not accurately measure the current position of the terminal 110, and a wide range of errors may occur. On the other hand, when the terminal 110 is equipped with GPS, a relatively detailed position may be measured. However, when the terminal 110 is located in a building or in an area where communication with satellites is not smooth, the location information of the terminal 110 may be determined. There is a problem that is not obtained.

The location tracking server 140 of the present invention can measure the location of the terminal 110 in the service area in relatively detail. To this end, the location tracking server 140 may include one or more antenna repeaters at the boundary of the service area. The location tracking server 140 may communicate with the terminal 110 using a communication frequency band other than a voice call band and a wireless internet band for more detailed location measurement.

When the terminal 110 enters the service area, the location tracking server 140 adds more detailed location information in the service area to the location information of the terminal 110 provided from the server of the communication network 120. ) Can be measured.

When the location tracking server 140 transmits the information on the movement route to the terminal 110, the location tracking server 140 may perform a navigation function for the terminal 110. When the location tracking server 140 transmits the information about the movement route of the terminal 110 to the service authority 150, the service authority 150 calculates the estimated time of arrival of the user of the terminal 110, and accordingly You can arrange for a reception service.

The reception service information provided to the service organization 150 or the terminal 110 may include a reception comment displayed by the service organization 150 or a type of the reception service performed by the service organization 150.

For example, a reception comment previously selected by a user may be displayed through a large display screen located at the entrance of the service organization 150. Alternatively, a picture of a service representative to be visited by the user may be provided through the screen of the terminal 110. For example, if the service organization 150 is a hotel or a hospital, a path leading to a reception desk of a hotel or a reception window of a hospital may be guided through the screen of the user terminal 110. Alternatively, a procedure (eg, check-in of a hotel, storage of a hospital) for a user to receive a service of the service institution 150 may be guided through the screen of the terminal 110.

For example, if the service organization 150 is a hotel, when the user's access of the terminal 110 is recognized, the service organization 150 is notified of the user's access, and the hotel receives the user for the user through a large display screen. While displaying the comment, a doorman (guide) may also provide a service to receive the user from the entrance. The guide may guide the user to an information desk, a restaurant, or the like, or provide such a guide service through a large display screen located inside the hotel.

Such a service may be provided by a plurality of service organizations in the service area without being limited to one service organization 150. For example, the service area may be a tourist attraction such as Jeju Island, and the guide service of the present invention may include amusement facilities such as hotels, golf courses, restaurants, casinos, and public facilities such as museums and exhibition halls that are available to the public. Can be. The reservation reception guide device 130 may transmit a guide and a reception comment about a nearby facility to the terminal 110 according to a moving position of the user.
