As shown in FIG. 1, the location-based traffic information providing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile terminal 10, a service server 20, and a traffic information DB 30.

The mobile terminal 10 detects the current position through the GPS receiving module 15 in a wireless network environment such as a smart phone, a mobile phone, a navigation, a laptop, and collects traffic information such as a moving speed and a moving direction, and the service server 20. And request the search area to find the traffic information to the service server 20 to display the traffic information of the provided object.

At this time, the mobile terminal 10 collects and transmits traffic information when logged in to the service server 20, and retransmits traffic information when the current location changes over a certain distance or elapses for a predetermined time.

In this way, when carrying the mobile terminal 10 after moving over a certain distance or results in a certain time or more, the traffic information is provided in real time by continuously retransmitting traffic information, and also provided with real-time traffic flow. Can be.

An object displayed through the mobile terminal 10 is displayed on a night view or a map view as shown in FIG. 2.

In this case, the objects displayed on the night screen or the map screen may display colors and directions differently according to traffic information. That is, the direction of movement can be displayed through the arrow, and the movement speed can be displayed by distinguishing the colors of green, yellow, orange, and red.

In addition, depending on the average speed of the object displayed on the map screen, the color of the road section in which the object is displayed may be displayed differently.

The traffic information DB 30 stores traffic information transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 on an individual basis of the mobile terminal 10.

The service server 20 stores the traffic information of the object transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 in the traffic information DB 30 on an individual basis and stores the object located in the search area requested by the mobile terminal 10 in the traffic information DB 30. Search traffic information) and provide traffic information of the individual unit to the mobile terminal 10.

In this case, the service server 20 searches for and provides an object of the mobile terminal 10 which is currently logged in. If a plurality of searched objects are searched within a predetermined distance, the service server 20 averages traffic information of the object and provides it as a single object. Display on the screen of the terminal 10.

On the other hand, when the service server 20 stores the traffic information of the individual received from the mobile terminal 10 in the traffic information DB (30), the traffic information by storing the traffic information further including the date, time, weather, etc. Based on the traffic information stored in the information DB (30), by building statistical data according to the date, time, day of the week, period, season, weather, may be provided by analyzing and predicting the traffic information.

The location-based traffic information providing system made as described above collects traffic information such as the current location, moving speed, and moving direction while carrying the mobile terminal 10 of the network environment, and transmits the traffic information to the service server 20. Traffic information transmitted from) is stored in the traffic information DB 30 in units of objects.

Then, when the mobile terminal 10 connected to the service server 20 inputs a search area for knowing traffic information, the object is located in the mobile terminal 10 by searching for an object located in the search area and providing traffic information of the object. By displaying the traffic information of the traffic information from the mobile terminal 10 to share the traffic information of the search area to be identified in real time.

In this case, the search area may be a constant search range centering on the current location of the mobile terminal 10, and may select and input an arbitrary search area for searching.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a location-based traffic information providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, in order to provide location-based traffic information according to the present invention, traffic information is received from a mobile terminal 10 logged in a wireless network environment (S10) (S20).

When the mobile terminal 10 is logged in to the service server 20, after collecting and transmitting traffic information such as the current position, the moving speed, and the moving direction through the GPS receiving module 15, the current position is changed over a certain distance or constant If time elapses, traffic information is collected again and resent.

The traffic information transmitted from the mobile terminal 10 is stored in the traffic information DB 30 in units of entities of the mobile terminal 10 (S30).

Thereafter, it is determined whether a search area for identifying traffic information is input from the mobile terminal 10 (S40).

In this case, the current location of the mobile terminal 10 may be basically input to the search area, and the search area may be arbitrarily input to grasp traffic information about an arbitrary area.

When the search area is input as described above, the object of the mobile terminal 10 located in the search area is searched in the currently logged-in state among the objects stored in the traffic information DB 30 based on the search area (S50).

At this time, if a plurality of searched objects are searched within a certain distance, the traffic information of the objects is averaged and one object is selected and provided.

The traffic information of the retrieved entity is transmitted to the mobile terminal 10 (S60).

The entity transmitted from the service server 20 is displayed on a night view or a map view as shown in FIG. 2.

In this case, the objects displayed on the night screen or the map screen may display colors and directions differently according to traffic information. That is, the direction of movement can be displayed through the arrow, and the movement speed can be displayed by distinguishing the colors of green, yellow, orange, and red.

In addition, depending on the average speed of the object displayed on the map screen, the color of the road section in which the object is displayed may be displayed differently.

As described above, the present invention repeats the process of re-transmitting and retransmitting traffic information when the mobile terminal 10 changes by more than a predetermined distance while the mobile terminal 10 is connected to the service server 20, and the mobile terminal 10 Repeat the process of updating the screen by re-requesting the traffic information of the objects displayed on the screen at regular time intervals.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art to which the art belongs can make various modifications and other equivalent embodiments therefrom. Will understand. Therefore, the technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the claims below.
