Description
The present invention relates to real-time purchase activity support based on an ambient service, and more specifically, based on an ambient service that allows a user to efficiently obtain location information of purchase-related stores in an intuitive form without a complicated search process. The present invention relates to a real-time purchasing activity support system and method thereof.
Users who want to purchase a product in a real life space make a purchase by comparing and analyzing the design, function, and price of the product. To do this, you usually visit several stores. At this time, "move-> store visit-> product information collection-> move (non-purchase)" process is repeated. If the user does not know the surrounding information, such as what stores are around, the user will wander around the shopping street and the unnecessary "move" process will increase, making the purchase activity very laborious.
Alternatively, you can use Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps, Naver Maps, Daum Map Services, etc. to intuitively obtain the location information of these stores, without having to get lost. You can go directly to the shop.
However, existing services only provide location information of shops to be searched without considering the purchase side.
For example, a consumer often wants to purchase not only a desired product but also products related to the product. For example, a situation where a consumer who purchases shoes tries to purchase clothes or a bag that matches the shoes can be easily expected. At this time, the existing services do not effectively support the user in the above purchase activity situation. If there is a service that provides location information of nearby stores selling these related products, the consumer can visit the stores without wandering around without searching for additional related stores.
Such a service can support a consumer's purchasing activity even if the consumer has not clearly determined the relevant product to purchase. There may be shops selling various kinds of related products around the consumer, but in general, consumers do not know this and vaguely consider related products to the extent that they can think. Therefore, such a service expands the purchase of consumers and enables efficient purchasing activities.
Accordingly, the present invention is proposed to solve the limited service generated in the existing methods for providing location information, and to provide more efficient purchase activity information to the user,
An object of the present invention is to provide a real-time purchase activity support system and method based on an ambient service that enables a user to efficiently obtain location information of related stores in an intuitive form without a complicated search process.
Another problem to be solved by the present invention, the stores that sell the products that the user wants, and stores that sell products related to the related products to the related stores, by providing such related shop information efficiently the user's purchasing activity in real time It is to provide a real-time purchase activity support system and method based on the supported ambient services.

Hereinafter, described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.
The ambient service system according to the present invention is a system proposed for the purpose of efficiently providing information of related stores to a user. In each space of the system, the information about existing stores is structured as purchase relevance, the relevant stores are extracted through a query that is automatically generated as a user's situation in the real life space, and the location information of the related stores is displayed on a map interface. The hierarchical presentation process takes place.
As shown in FIG. 1, the ambient service system is specifically defined as three layers of "structured (purchase related) information space, real life space, ambient information space".
The structured (purchase-related) information space is a space in which individual store information including location information is automatically collected from the web corresponding to an existing store, and the information is grouped and structured based on purchase relevance.
The real life space is a space where shops exist and is a space where direct purchase activities of users are performed. At this time, the query is automatically generated automatically through the movement or action of the user.
The ambient information space is a space in which the user acquires location information of related stores in real time. In this space, relevant store information and structured purchasing information are extracted through a query generated in the real life space. The location information of the extracted individual store information is displayed on a map interface, and the structured purchase information is provided in a hierarchical form of keywords.
If this is explained in more detail as follows.

Referring to the detailed description of the real-time purchase activity support system and support method based on the ambient service according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.
First, in order to build a set of individual store information in the individual store information collector 110 of the
Specifically, store information web pages including latitude and longitude coordinates are collected, and information about 750,000 stores are collected for all regions of the Republic of Korea. And if the category information for each industry category is included in the individual store information is extracted. This category is used to structure individual object information into purchase relevance.
Here, each item of the individual store information consists of a unique number, a store name, a homepage, an address, a phone number, a categorized category, additional information, and a latitude and longitude coordinate value of the store. The unique number is a unique value for each store. When a user recognizes a store using a mobile terminal, the unique number is used as an identifier for identifying each store. The individual store information database table is as shown in FIG.
The individual store information structurer 130 structures the collected and stored individual store information on the basis of purchase relevance. In the present invention, structured by using the industry-specific categories that can be used as the most basic form of purchase-related.
Specifically, similar stores are grouped by industry based on this industry category, and the industry is organized hierarchically. Through this, individual store information has purchase information structured vertically and horizontally, respectively. For example, "B shoe store" information has vertical and horizontally structured purchasing information such as "corporate, shopping> clothing, sundries, shoes" and "underwear, women's clothing".
This structured purchasing information is databased in the structured
In fact, the construction of structured purchasing information can be processed on the DB without using the ontology. However, using structured purchase information is not simply an aspect of easily searching for location information of related stores using a category for a store. This is necessary to structure individual store information with various semantic relations and to provide users with information of related stores (Lee Jae-ho, 2003). In addition to the industry-specific hierarchical structure used in the present invention, there are various relations such as "relevance between stores that can receive discount services" and "relevance to visit patterns of users", which should be continuously structured. And for this, it is useful to use standardized ontology.
Next, the
The store information viewed by the user may be obtained by recognizing a tag attached to the store by the
As a mobile terminal, a UMPC connected with an RFID reader and a GPS module can be used. For recognition of the shops, a commercial RFID tag and reader of 2.45 GHz with a maximum recognition distance of 15 m was used, and the tag is preferably attached to the entrance of each shop. The location information of the user is obtained through the
In the client program operating on the UMPC, the shop ID and location information identified by the RFID reader are transmitted to the
In the ambient information space, the recognition
Specifically, the recognition
The map may use a NAVER map provided by the NAVER portal site (NAVER Developer Center, 2010). Mark store information on this map using the Open API. This allows the user to intuitively know where and how many related stores are around. In addition, by moving, enlarging, and reducing the map, location information of related stores within a desired range can be obtained.
As shown in FIG. 6, the structured purchase information enables the user to know what kinds of related stores are around, and may select a hierarchically organized group to further acquire location information of various related stores. . The search using structured purchasing information is performed from the previous node in the opposite direction to the general directory search.
<Experimental Example>
The implemented real-time purchasing support system was tested in the Lafesta area of Ilsan, a specific shopping street in a specific real life space. The Lafesta area is a comprehensive shopping mall with up to 25m wide and 300m long shops.
The RFID tag was attached to the entrance of the store. In the case of dense shopping streets, the distance between each shop is about 7m, so it is efficient to use a tag with a relatively short recognition distance (Park Hyung-jun et al., 2005). However, if the recognition distance is too short, the user has to go to the front of the store, so an appropriate recognition distance must be determined. In the present invention, since it has a recognition distance of 15m, up to six shops can be searched in the Lafesta area using a tag. At this time, since the recognition distance of the tag of 15m is a distance that the user can identify the shops with eyes, the user can easily select even if several stores are recognized. This is judged to be more efficient than using a tag with a too short recognition distance. View the selected store as a store of interest to users and start searching for related stores.
The client program operating on the mobile terminal is composed of a part for recognizing a shop tag using an RFID reader, a part for obtaining user location information using a GPS module, and a part for displaying location information of shops based on a map. When a tag is attached to each shop and recognized using a terminal, the screen of the client program can be seen in FIG. 7. As soon as you recognize the shoe shop "Geumganghwa", you can get the corresponding shop information, and you can check the store name, homepage address and handling items. The location of other shoe stores nearby is displayed on the map. If you look at the information of the shoe store, the vertical structured purchase information of "Corporate, Shopping, Apparel, Fashion Accessories> Shoes> Brand> Geumgangjae" and "Shoes, Women's Clothing, Men's Clothing, Bags, Sports Clothing…" There is a structured purchasing information. If you select the keyword "clothing and fashion goods" which is the upper level of "shoes", you can see the stores classified as "clothing and fashion goods" existing near the user, and select the keyword "women's clothes" which is the same class of "shoes". You can search for women's clothing stores.
As such, the location information of the related stores is displayed on a map, so that the user can intuitively know where and how many of the related stores are located. In addition, the structured purchase information allows the user to know what related stores are around and can be searched by simply selecting a desired group.
The existing service similar to the implemented system is a location-based service using a map. Since the implemented system and the existing service use a map, they have the same effect in terms of intuitively recognizing the location information of stores.
Looking at the user's information search, as shown in Figure 8, the existing service mainly provides a representative category, such as restaurants, department stores, gas stations or movie theaters, and if selected to provide the corresponding surrounding information, or Provides surrounding information through text input. When trying to find a related store by category, the range is limited and fixed, so it is difficult to find various types of stores. In addition, keyword input is inconvenient because a user must generate a query directly.
On the contrary, the present invention can obtain location information of surrounding related shops by simply recognizing a shop by the user. That is, the user may acquire location information of related stores by using an ambient query that is naturally generated by the user's action without a process of inputting a keyword.
In addition, the purchase information structured based on the purchase relevance is not limited and fixed category provided by the existing service, but information transformed into a form suitable for the user's situation. Thus, the user can efficiently obtain the information of the related stores structured about the stores that exist nearby.
The present invention as described above, to provide a service to support the user making a purchase activity in the real-life space, to enable efficient purchase activities by obtaining the location information of the related stores through a minimum search process.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described specific preferred embodiments, and various modifications can be made by any person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention claimed in the claims. Of course, such changes will fall within the scope of the claims.
