Description

Location information device that updates content / information associated with geographic-based content / information portal site {The Personal navigation device which update contents part connecting with map based contents and information internet portal site}

These days, the treasures of domestic and foreign Internet portal companies are the map itself. This is because maps are gathering expectations as the next-generation core content of the portal. Maps are seen as another gold mine of search, games and portals following UCC. The reason for the attention of the guidance service is that the wireless Internet environment is developing. The number of people enjoying the Internet while moving through WiBro or HSDPA has increased significantly. As the demand for maps increases, the demand for maps increases at the same time, and maps are mounted side-by-side on recently released Google phones and iPhones, and portals are expanding map services because of the increase in Internet access through mobile. Since the late 90s, various portals have supported map services by default, and the map pops up when you type in the address or name of an unknown place in the search box. However, recently, the level of maps searched for is changing, and only the name of the building and the road information are released, and various kinds of life information related to geography are poured together. As a simple example, a search for 'Patent Office' brings up a map, a brief description and the address of the site, and if desired, a personal blog, mail, UCC, cafe address, etc. can be linked naturally. In addition, it provides a variety of transportation and real-time traffic information to go to the 'patent office' after the search, and even high-resolution satellite and aerial photographs of the cars standing on the road. In addition, the 360-degree view of the vicinity of the 'Patent Office' can be seen through the photo, so even people who have never been to the 'Patent Office' can easily find the destination. Google, the world's largest search engine that made this possible, began distributing high-resolution satellite images for free on the Internet in October 2004 with the acquisition of Keyhole, a satellite photo information service provider. It started offering satellite images for one click without paying a dime. Google Earth was born, and this seemingly reckless attempt then created new value that people began to fill in on the map . People use the map as a sketch to put various location information, relevant living information, UCC, etc. according to their tastes, which is called mash-up in terminology. Google Maps, combined with maps and other living information, opened up another world. Entering Google Maps, for example, Obama's 44-year-old president's footsteps will be detailed on satellite maps, and Chicago Grand Park will appear on the November 4 satellite map. And as a brief explanation on the map ('November President Obama finished the 22-month campaign at the Chicago Grand Park where 240,000 people gathered' on November 4), users use the map as a platform to create their own unique map. The world of content will continue to be created with a single map. Google Maps has become a compass for portal companies, and the service direction pursued by domestic portal companies does not deviate much from Google Maps. Yahoo Korea introduced the hybrid map that combines geographic information with 60cm satellite map first in Korea. Most satellite maps have been used only for viewing, so most local information such as regions, buildings, and road names are missing, showing only satellite images. Complementary to this, the hybrid map displays businesses, tourist attractions, fast directions, real-time traffic conditions and bus stop information on the satellite map so that they can be checked immediately. In other words, while maps used to provide geographic information, they are now evolving into the best packaging platform for the real world. Daum Communications is planning to introduce the highest resolution map service in Korea. It builds an aerial map database with several times higher resolution than high-definition satellite image, and is 50cm superior to high-resolution satellite image (1m in width) of Google Maps. It shows a class aerial picture, and the sign of a road shop is visible. Blue, which is operated by KTH, recently launched the Real Street service, which is the first in Korea to provide video-based local information service beyond live-action images. This creates an illusion as if you are traveling by car. As such, recent maps are expected to develop as core contents of the spatial information industry for building cyber territories, and the spatial information industry is based on location-based services (LBS), mobile telecommunications and intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and telematics (vehicle wireless Internet services). It includes all of them. The global space information industry, estimated at $ 100 billion (about 100 trillion won), is growing at an average rate of 30% per year. Rapidly expanding for realization, it is emerging as the most notable industry of the 21st century.

An object of the present invention is to update the photo, UCC, coupons, updates to the device embedded with the satellite coordinates and digital maps in conjunction with a geo-based Internet portal site containing photos, UCC, coupons, store information, such as Google Earth Store information is automatically updated and stored when connected to a computer and device by options set by the user (by region, theme, and date), so that they can be used without being connected to a communication network. The update of the current navigation is only to update new traffic and geographic information, and it is not known so far in the form of providing contents in connection with a geography-based internet portal site where various useful information changes every day. In addition, Google Earth can be used through Google Phone and iPhone with built-in mobile communication network. However, it has a limitation that every time you use Google Earth on your computer, you need to connect to Google Earth site and get all information including maps. However, since most of the photos, UCC, coupons, and store information displayed on the map do not need to be processed in real time, such as news, the device can be connected to a computer to automatically download and display the selected information of the required area. It is reasonable to update from time to time as needed.

Through Google Earth, Internet portal sites, etc., have recently provided satellite / aviation maps through two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional maps, and Google's 'Street View' also provides extensive information on surrounding landscapes. At the same time, the number of people who enjoy the Internet while moving through WiBro and HSDPA increased, and the demand for maps increased at the same time. The recent release of Google Earth maps on Google phones and iPhones reflected this trend. have. However, when using Google Earth through a Google phone or iPhone with a built-in mobile communication network, there is a limit to bringing all the information including a map by connecting to the Google Earth site whenever using Google Earth on a computer. However, since photos, UCCs, coupons, and store information displayed on the map are mostly information that does not need to be processed in real time, such as news, the device can be connected to a computer to automatically download and store selected information in the area where it is needed. It is enough to display. It is reasonable to update such information from time to time as required by the user, and to provide a related technology between a geographic-based internet portal site and a device to enable the present invention. Businesses that provide map services through the mobile network also go through the location-based services of the mobile operators' base stations, and only the basic map is embedded in the device, and the route search is linked with the mobile network to provide the latest road and traffic. On-line navigation products (such as “Innaby on domestic tinctures”), which are handled by high-performance servers with a lot of information, have also become commercially available. With the evolving mobile communication network, it is expected to emerge as the focus of navigation in the future.With the present invention, rather than the navigation-oriented static navigation function, the emergence of geographic-based internet portal sites such as Google Earth, etc. photo by tuning to be updated in real time, UCC, Phone, only the content and the additional information such as store information, download the device can provide a more profitable location-based navigation if you could change the static to dynamic map (dynamic).

Other objects and advantages of the present invention can be understood by the following description, and will be more clearly understood by the embodiments of the present invention. Also, it will be readily appreciated that the objects and advantages of the present invention may be realized by the means and combinations thereof indicated in the claims.

Maps typically require regular updates every six months to one year, but this dynamic content and additional information is automatically upgraded whenever the device is connected to a computer or at the user's option. It can be through a computer, but can also be provided to upgrade dynamic content and additional information through the device's mobile network or wireless networks such as WLAN and Bluetooth. If these services are universalized and differentiate the coupons, store information, photos, UCC, etc. displayed on the map of the internet portal site, the portal that differentiates the advertisement price while displaying the list searched by the search engines in order of priority We can provide a new revenue model just like our business model. In addition, the coupon issuer may pay an appropriate cost to the portal site in exchange for raising the discount coupon and dropping the discount coupon. The cost may be calculated in consideration of the number of times the discount coupon is downloaded or the number of times the discount coupon is used for actual purchase. It may be.

The present invention has the following effects.

1) Compared with the current navigation showing simple geographic information, it connects to a computer and downloads various contents DBs that match the map by user options through geographic-based portal sites in the form of UCC, photo, text, voice, etc. When displayed, it can be developed into a new concept of personal information device.

2) Provide discount coupons, event events, special invitations, etc. with the content DB that matches the map, and check them through the device, and if it leads to actual purchase and consumption, a portal site that divides the profits with the issuer, and economically gains benefits. You can create a business model that wins for everyone, including consumers.

3) Unlike Google phone and iPhone, which downloads video geographic information and digital map information DB along with contents through mobile communication network, it can reduce dependency on communication network by configuring to download only DB matching map. It is also advantageous in terms of battery.

4) Geography-based portal site, such as an example that can be displayed by providing gas station price information that is announced on the Internet, or in the case of stop information, franchise merchants can display all of the same information (including coupons) at the same time by recording a plurality of merchant coordinate values It has the effect of providing the foundation and opportunity for business to meet business and mobile devices.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a recording medium (CD-ROM, ROM, RAM, 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.

In order to achieve the above object, a geography-based internet portal site including photos, UCCs, coupons, store information, etc., such as Google Earth, etc., together with a service server having a database of geographic information, photos, UCCs, coupons, store information, etc. According to the user's option, the service means for downloading to the device, not the computer, should be separated and constructed. Currently, the portal map service server combines the digital map and the content together to form the screen displayed on the computer.However, if there is map data on the device, in order to give down the customized content displayed on the map, the property and the definition of each content are provided. The satellite coordinates should come down together. The device is configured to download such content and display the corresponding information on the embedded map, and display detailed information when the user selects a specific location on the map or play it when there is a UCC. If you connect the computer and the device through the sink means according to the options set by the user (by region, theme, and date), you can automatically connect to the corresponding portal site and save the updated contents. Otherwise, it can be used without being connected with a mobile communication network separately. Since there is no connection to the communication network, there is an advantage that it is used without being constrained by the communication fee and the communication speed. Of course, in case of a device having a mobile communication network or a wireless LAN, it is possible to access the corresponding portal site wirelessly and to select content information when necessary ( Google Phone and iPhone are downloaded to include only geographic information. Unlike the current navigation that displays simple place names / numbers / phone numbers as shown in Google Earth, the downloaded contents include UCC, photos, store introduction information, tourist information, discounts and event coupons, and merchant information (for example, KB Kookmin Bank). Star shop 5% discount merchants), living services (banks, convenience stores, real estate, hospitals, pharmacies, schools, hair salons, marts), restaurants, movie theaters, entertainment, accommodations, etc. Consists of living information. Maps may be provided using digital maps or a combination of satellite and aerial map forms.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, whereby those skilled in the art may easily implement the technical idea of the present invention. There will be. 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 geography-based portal site to which the present invention is applied. Unlike the existing map, FIG. 1 displays various UCCs, photos and region information, coupons, etc. selected by a user on a computer screen. By providing such advantageous geographic information to be viewed on a map mounted on the mobile device, for example, it is possible to solve the problem of printing and using the coupon on the screen to use the coupon. Current navigation devices are naturally not provided with the ability to display such content and coupons on a map. Just as Internet portal sites have evolved to provide a lot of information tailored from simple search engines, geography-based portal sites can now match cyber map spaces with human-friendly spatial senses beyond simple content provision, thus providing the most powerful personalization. It is expected to develop into a portal service. Currently, iPhone and Google Phone bring this screen to the resolution of the device, including the map information, so the data size is big and you need to import data from a new location every time you travel. (US state maps are around 2GB in size). However, except for the United States, China, and the Soviet Union, the map data of most countries is enough about 2G bytes, so it is not necessary to bring geographic and content information into the mobile communication network rather than real-time information such as news.

 2 illustrates a map displayed on a device screen to which the present invention is applied. The current navigation displays geographic data such as names on a map, and some navigation programs provide information on restaurants and destinations that are provided when first installed. Although it is displayed and included, it is classified as content data that is not updated at any time by the user's selection. When the entire system is configured by linking the device of the present invention with a geo-based portal site, customized content and information that is updated every time the device is connected and synchronized with a computer are displayed, and when selected, UCC, photo, text, voice, etc. It can be owned in device storage in the form of. For example, if a discount and an event coupon are selected near a symbol indicating their location on a map, information about the coupon is displayed and displayed in a form (bar code, etc.) that can be used at the corresponding store. In some embodiments, when a movie theater is selected, the movie information including the screening expiration date is provided through the trailer UCC. If you have synced with a computer for a long time, information and contents that are out of date are not displayed. In this respect, content information provided by geographic-based internet portal sites provides property codes, expiration date, and coordinates to be displayed according to each content. In the case where it is required to be displayed in many regions nationwide, such as franchise information, the displayed coordinate values are composed of a plurality of affiliate stores. Ultimately, if such a geographic portal site is guaranteed to be mobile in the form of a device of the present invention, it is expected to be developed as a means of inducing actual purchase and consumption forms and increase its utility value. When devices are deployed in economies of scale, geography-based portal sites can make advertising and sales revenue look like search engines by differentiating content, additional information, and coupons or by providing additional information. Email was initially a simple means of communication, but now it is used as a marketing tool, and coupons are given to the user. If the user makes an actual purchase using the coupon, portal sites receive a fair price from the coupon issuer. This creates a new business model rather than a search and advertising market.

3 is a view illustrating the components of the present invention, and the geo-based portal service server part 10 provides image geographic information DB 12 and digital map information for storing and managing image information when providing satellite and aerial maps. A service is provided to use the digital map information DB 13 for parallel and independent of each other, and a content and information DB 11 matching the map is configured to allow a user to connect a wired network 15 such as the Internet through a computer. It is configured to download the content and information DB 11 matching the map by the option selected by the user. For example, the user selects an area, a content expiration date, and a content attribute (theme). When the mobile communication and the wireless network 14 are connected to the device, the same process of downloading the content and information DB 11 matching the map by the user selected option is that the current Google Maps and iPhones are digital map information. The data of the DB 13 and the image geographic information DB 12 also come down together, which has a distinct difference. As the density of flash memory used in the device has been improved, 4G byte class is currently provided as a single wafer die, and long-term updated DBs such as geographic information DB are embedded in the device memory, and the GPS satellite receiver The current navigation device is to use the navigation without the involvement of the mobile communication network that involves the cost, but there is no information such as dynamic content, and its use is limited to the route guidance. In connection with the same geo-based portal site, the user always has information that is alive, and newly created as a personal location information device that helps life through coupons that can be used in the current location, and the geo-based portal site is a user. Various types of content To create new business models that take the form of actual purchases and consumptions and receive payment from content providers.
