Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described the present invention in more detail. In the following description, descriptions of components or processes already well known in the art will be omitted. Even if this description is omitted, those skilled in the art will be able to understand the configuration and features of the present invention without particular difficulty through the following description.

1 is a view showing a schematic configuration of the entire system for performing a transit transfer service according to the present invention.

As shown, the system for performing the method of the present invention is largely, the bus route terminal installed in the public transport route service operation server 100, the short-range communication equipment 200, the user's mobile communication terminal 300 and the bus. 400 may be included.

The public transportation route service operation server 100 is a server for controlling the overall process according to the present invention. The server may be established by a mobile communication provider such as KTF, SKT, etc., but it should be noted that the mobile communication network does not use the mobile communication network. That is, the server is connected to the short-range communication equipment 200 so as to be communicable, but is connected through a general data wired network, so that a user using the server may pay a separate fee and a mobile communication fee related to a service provided according to the present invention. There is no need to pay. This constitutes one of the important advantages of the present invention.

The short-range communication device 200 is a device that supports a wireless connection of the terminal. According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the drawing, an access point (AP) may be used. A short range communication device such as an AP supports a short range wireless communication technology having a function of a gateway supporting a connection as a wired network while supporting a role of a router capable of wireless communication between APs. In the present invention, the short-range communication equipment 200 is installed at any place, for example, a bus stop, to enable wireless short-range communication within a certain zone as shown in FIG. That is, as will be described later, the short-range communication equipment 200 is wirelessly communicated with the mobile communication terminal 300 installed in each predetermined zone (for example, a bus stop) and the bus route terminal 400 installed in the bus. Can be performed.

The bus route terminal 400 installed in the bus is capable of short-range wireless communication with the mobile communication terminal 300, and provides a general GPS communication, navigation function, a function of receiving and displaying traffic status information in real time, and reaches the next stop. It has a predictive time display function and transfer information at each stop. The bus route terminal 400 connects the terminal 400 to a terminal 400 through a wireless communication network such as Bluetooth, and transfers information of each stop of the bus route and a predicted arrival time to the corresponding stop. 300). This allows the user to use the transfer information more conveniently, which constitutes one important feature of the present invention. This will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples.

The mobile communication terminal 300 of the user is configured to enable short-range communication. In order to get to a specific destination, when a starting point and a destination are inputted and transmitted at a predetermined stop, the bus use service call signal is received by the server 100 through the AP 200, and the present invention will be described below under the control of the server. You can use the service according to.

Hereinafter, each component will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1. Public transport route service operation server (100)

3 is a block diagram schematically showing the function of the public transportation route service operation server 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the public transport route service operation server 100 is bus information DB 120, waypoint information DB 130, AP communication interface 102, call signal receiver 104, bus search unit 106, Waypoint information retrieval unit 108, information integration unit 110 and information transmission unit 112 is included. In addition, although not shown in detail, it includes a public transport route service operation server 100 and a control unit that controls the overall operation of each component.

First, the bus information DB 110 contains all information on various buses operating in, for example, Seoul. That is, the bus information DB 110 may include a bus number, line (movement path) information of a corresponding bus, transfer bus information (transfer bus number, transfer bus line information, etc.) at each stop associated with the bus line, distance between stops, It contains various information related to the bus such as bus fare. Based on the information stored in the bus information DB 110, a bus desired by a user may be searched and provided.

The waypoint information DB 130 stores specific place information near the stop of each bus line. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, various service places that a user may use while moving such as a bank, a department store, and a post office may be located at each stop of a specific bus line. In particular, information on the distance between various service places and stops is also included, so that the waypoint information retrieval unit 108 may use the distance information when searching for a specific service place. The specific place information is stored in the waypoint information DB 130 and provided to the user in combination with the bus route information according to the user's request, so that the user can easily identify a place where the specific service can be used while traveling to the destination. Will be.

The AP communication interface 102 is an interface that enables data communication with the local area communication equipment 200 in which the public transportation route service operation server 100 is installed for each predetermined zone, and the local area communication equipment 200 through the interface. Send and receive various data.

The call signal receiver 104 receives a bus use service call signal from the mobile communication terminal 400 of the user transmitted through the short range communication equipment 200 through the AP communication interface 102. That is, as will be described later, when a user in a certain zone switches the mobile communication terminal 400 to a bus use mode and inputs departure and destination information, a bus using service call including the input information and the current location information of the user is called. The signal is automatically transmitted to the public transportation route service operation server 100 through the near field communication equipment 200 installed in the zone. The call signal receiver 104 of the public transportation route service operation server 100 receives the signal through the AP communication interface 102.

When the signal is received, the bus search unit 106 searches for a bus route from the origin to the destination desired by the user based on the signal. Specifically, as described above, the bus information DB 120 stores various kinds of information related to the bus. When the call signal is received, the bus search unit 106 searches the bus information DB 120 for a bus route corresponding to the information based on the departure and destination information included in the signal. At this time, the bus search unit 106 finds the number of the bus from the specific starting point to the destination, the line of the bus from the starting point to the destination, and the transfer information at each stop in the bus line, which is described later. Integrated by 110. In other words, if there is a bus from the origin to the destination at a time, find information about the bus. However, the present invention not only finds a bus to go at once, but also provides a special effect for the case where the transfer is required to reach the destination. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a case where there is no bus going from the starting point to the destination at once, and the bus indicated by the blue line must be changed in the middle. At this time, according to the conventional Internet service, even though there are four stops, that is, transfer stops at which red and blue lines overlap, only one is provided to limit the user's selection. In particular, it is difficult to obtain such transfer information itself through a mobile communication service.

In this regard, according to the present invention, the bus search unit 106 does not find only one transferable stop, but finds all transfer information from each stop on the bus line to the destination, thereby allowing the user to select the transfer stop. This constitutes one of the important features of the present invention. For example, a user who boards a bus at the departure point will want to get off at the last transfer stop (D) and transfer to another bus if he is seated, and a user who is not seated will want to transfer as soon as possible (eg A transfer stop). . The present invention provides information for the user to transfer in consideration of such a situation, which is one configuration unique to the present invention which is not in the prior art. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, preferably, the bus search unit 105 may not only search for a plurality of transfer stops, but also search for a plurality of bus route information from each transfer stop to a destination.

On the other hand, the user may want to go to the destination, but may want to go down to the destination after using a service such as a bank, a post office. After seeing this particular ball job, you need to transfer within the transit time to receive the transit discount. The present invention provides the optimal transit information at the request of the user.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, when a user wants to stop by a bank, a department store, or a post office before reaching a destination at a departure stop or on the move, the user switches the mobile communication terminal 300 to a waypoint additional mode to provide a desired service ( Bank, post office, etc.), the bus search unit 106 searches for a bus route to reach the destination at the starting point according to the above-described process, and transfers to reach a destination at each stop of the corresponding bus route. Search for stop information. Subsequently, the waypoint information retrieval unit 108 does not find a corresponding service providing place near all stops of the bus route found by the bus retrieval unit 106, but as shown in FIG. 5, the user can transfer to reach a destination. The service area is searched for via the route section, i.e., at least one transit stop that can be transited.

That is, for example, if the user searches for E bank and provides the user to visit the bank, the user cannot receive the benefits related to the transfer discount. In other words, after searching and providing E bank, the user must get off at the E bank stop and see what to see at E bank, and then take the red line again, that is, the bus on the same line as the bus from the starting point (no transfer discount), As shown in Fig. 5, once again, the train must be transferred in the middle to reach the destination. In consideration of such an unreasonable situation, when it is necessary to make a transfer to reach a destination, the stopover information search unit 108 passes the stopover information DB via a service providing place near at least one transfer stop of the transferable section retrieved by the bus search unit 106. By searching and finding 130, the user can use the desired service at the intermediate waypoint without any inconvenience and transfer to reach the destination.

Meanwhile, according to a preferred embodiment, the waypoint information retrieval unit 108 allows the user to transfer using a desired service within the transfer discount time. In other words, transfers can usually be obtained by transferring within 30 minutes, allowing the user to select the desired service location. That is, the waypoint information search unit 106 finds a desired service place near the transfer stop in the transfer section as shown in FIG. 5, and also provides location information on how far the place is from the stop. Allows you to choose a place. For example, if the user wants to use a bank, the bank A and the bank B can be searched and provided to the user in the vicinity of the transfer stop according to the above-described process. By providing information on the distance between the stop and each bank, the user can This allows you to see the banking service in a short time and transfer (for example, if Bank A is 500m away from the transfer stop and Bank B is 200m away from the transfer stop, you will naturally want to use Bank B. It also provides distance information, allowing the user to choose a bank).

The information integrating unit 110 is to provide the user with the information retrieved according to the above process. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the bus route from the starting point to the destination found by the bus search unit 106 and the transfer stop information of each stop and the transfer section must be integrated in the form of a route map and transferred at the transfer stop. The buses are displayed in different colors, and the transfer stop is displayed in another third color so that the user can easily identify the transfer stop and the bus route to be transferred. In addition, when the user also transmits waypoint information, according to the above process, the service place near the transfer stop of the transfer section found by the waypoint information retrieval unit 108 is displayed on the transfer stop to integrate the route map.

In some cases, a plurality of buses may be used instead of one bus at a bus stop provided with the short-range communication equipment 200 that grasps a user's location. In this case, as described above, it may be difficult to send the bus route map incorporating the information to the mobile communication terminal of the user at the same time and display it at the same time. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, in consideration of such a case, the user may utilize the bus route information more conveniently. That is, the information integrating unit 110 integrates the information so that the integrated bus route map can be displayed on the user's terminal when the user selects it. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the information integrating unit 110 finds information on a bus route from the starting point to the destination based on the information input by the user, and primarily the bus number, the distance to the destination, and the like. Extract the estimated time of arrival and fare information, consolidate the information so that the user can understand it at once, and then provide a separate additional selection icon, and when the icon is selected, the bus route map generated according to the above process Integrates bus route information so that is displayed on the user terminal. That is, the information integrating unit 110 retrieves all bus routes that can reach the destination from the starting point, and integrates / generates the information so that the retrieved one or more bus information can be displayed on the user's terminal at a time, and with it When the icon is selected by providing a selection icon, the searched information is coded and generated so that the bus route map generated according to the above process is displayed on the terminal. In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the distance between the service location and the transfer stop found by the waypoint information retrieval unit 108 is also integrated, so that the user can use the service place more conveniently.

The information transmitter 112 is for transmitting a bus route map generated by the information integrator 110, which is transmitted to the user's mobile terminal 300 through the AP 200 and output on the display. do. The user can view the output bus route map and grasp the transfer information, and in some cases, can easily grasp the service location near the transfer stop.

2. Mobile communication terminal 300

The mobile communication terminal 300 capable of wireless communication such as near field communication and Bluetooth is equipped with predetermined software / hardware for using the service of the present invention. The mobile communication terminal transmits a command programmed to input a waypoint through the AP 200 when the user wants to use a predetermined service at a departure place, a destination, and, in some cases, a stopover therebetween. A command programmed to receive and display information transmitted from the server 100, and a selection icon transmitted together with the received information to display additional bus route information when the icon is selected. Software programmed to use the service of the present invention, that is, a program programmed to receive and display predetermined information from the bus terminal 400 to be described below, that is, software that can use the method of the present invention. Can be installed. Such a program may be implemented by those skilled in the art without particular difficulty through the description of the present invention.

<Examples>

Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings will be described a specific embodiment of the present invention.

7 illustrates an example of performing a transit transfer service using a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a stopover is added to explain a case in which the user arrives at a destination by transiting after seeing work at a predetermined service location. In addition, instead of going from the starting point to the destination at once, it is assumed that a transfer must be made in the middle to reach the destination.

First, a user switches his mobile terminal 300 to a transit transfer service mode at a predetermined departure stop, inputs a departure point and a destination, and inputs a predetermined service, for example, a national bank service, in a section therebetween. Transmit (S100).

The information input by the user is received via the short-range communication equipment 200 through the signal receiver 104 of the public transportation route service operation server 100 (S110).

When the signal is received, the bus search unit 106 searches for a bus route that can reach the destination from the starting point through the bus information DB 120 based on the information included in the signal (S120). At this time, the bus search unit searches for and finds the transfer stop of the transfer section of the route of the A bus departing from the departure point. In other words, the bus search unit 104 searches for the information of the transfer stop that allows the user to transfer to the destination and the transfer bus route that can be transferred from the stop because the A bus does not travel to the destination.

As shown in FIG. 3, there may be one transfer line and four transfer stops, and the bus search unit 106 may search all of these transfer stops to help the user select a stop. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of transfer route maps and a plurality of transfer stops may also be found.

Subsequently, the stopover information retrieval unit 108 searches for the stopover information DB 130 to find a service use place around the transfer stop found by the bus retrieval unit 106 in relation to the service input by the user, that is, the bank service. (S130). In this case, the waypoint may represent two aspects. Among the bus routes between the starting point and the destination searched by the bus searching unit 106, for example, there are five Kookmin banks. If any one of these five Kookmin Banks is near its origin or destination, the user can see the banking business before boarding the bus or after reaching the destination (ie, there is no need to drop off and see the banking) In addition, it searches the Kookmin Bank information near the origin or destination, allowing the user to select the location. However, if there is no Kookmin Bank near the starting point or destination and is on an intermediate route, the Kookmin Bank provides the Kookmin Bank information located near the transfer stop found by the bus search unit 106, so that the user can conveniently select any Kookmin Bank. To help you see your banking work. The waypoint information found through the above process includes a distance from a specific stop to a corresponding waypoint, brief guide information for reaching the waypoint, and enables the user to easily find the waypoint.

Next, the information integrating unit 110 integrates the retrieved information to generate a bus route map including transfer information and environment maintenance information (S140). That is, the bus route information and the transfer stop information colored by the bus search unit 106 and the service place around the predetermined transfer stop retrieved by the stopover information search unit 108, that is, the bank information and the distance between the bank and the transfer stop Information is integrated to generate a bus route map as shown in FIG. At this time, the transfer stop is displayed in a separate color, so that the user can easily recognize the transfer stop.

On the other hand, since it may be difficult to display the generated bus route map on the user terminal at one time, the information integrator 110 may provide outline information (bus route number, distance information, Time information, fare information, etc.) and a selection icon are first displayed on the user terminal, and when the icon is selected, a bus route map generated according to the process is displayed on the terminal.

The bus route map generated through the above process is transmitted and displayed to the user's mobile communication terminal 300 through the information transmitter 112 (S150). Therefore, the user can go through the transfer route optimized to the destination through the bus route map and the related information output to his terminal, and can also use the bank service while receiving the benefit of the transfer discount.

On the other hand, depending on the user, it may be difficult to pinpoint the location of the transfer stop because it is dark in geography. In other words, it is sometimes necessary to check the route map attached to the bus to find the transfer station to which he / she should get off. This problem is solved by installing the terminal 400 inside the bus to communicate with the user's mobile terminal 300.

That is, a user who boards a predetermined bus at the departure point connects his terminal 300 to the bus terminal 400 through a wireless communication network such as Bluetooth. The bus terminal 400 displays a route map of the bus as shown in FIG. When the two terminals 300 and 400 are connected, the bus route map of the bus terminal 400 is transmitted and displayed to the mobile communication terminal 300, and the path along which the bus moves is transmitted in real time. That is, as shown on the right side of FIG. 6, the bus terminal 400 stores information about the route of the bus and information about the transfer stop in the middle of the route. As the bus moves, the bus terminal 400 displays the next stop in a different color and, if there is a transit stop on the bus line, a bus line that can be transferred at the transit stop (eg, XX to Yongsan). By transmitting the general information about the bus to the terminal 300, the user can obtain information about the transfer stop to be released through his terminal, it is possible to utilize the transfer service more conveniently.
