In step S330, the service providing server calculates a recommended appointment place to which the evaluation factor is applied based on the evaluation elements for recommendation of the appointment place obtained in steps S310 and S320.

For example, the service providing server may calculate a recommended appointment place except for a place where a minor cannot access, such as a bar, when the user is a minor based on the age of the user.

In addition, the server providing the service excludes the bottom 30% of the places from the recommended appointment place or the top 30% of places based on the number of user visits based on the current weather or time. It can be included in the destination of the recommended appointment place.

For example, in the case of rain, the service providing server may exclude a place where the user visits less when the rain, such as a park, falls under the target of the recommended appointment place. Places such as pubs with few people visits can be excluded from recommended appointment places.

The service providing server may use the evaluation of acquaintances of social network services (SNS) used by the user of the corresponding service or the user of the mobile terminal to calculate the recommended appointment place.

For example, the service providing server may exclude the lower 30% of the places from the recommended appointment place based on the user's evaluation of the service or the lower 30% based on the evaluation of the SNS acquaintances of the user of the mobile terminal. The corresponding place may be excluded from the target of the recommended appointment place, and the place corresponding to the top 30% may be included in the target of the recommended appointment place.

The service providing server may exclude a place that the user wants to avoid or a place where a user is more likely to visit, according to the user's setting, as a target of the recommended appointment place.

The service providing server may calculate a recommended appointment place using a recent visit history of the user of the mobile terminal. For example, the service providing server may include the top 30% of places recently visited by the user as the target of the recommended appointment place.

In step S340, the service provision server calculates a final recommendation appointment place to be provided to the user in the target of the recommended appointment place calculated by applying the evaluation element in step S330.

The service providing server may assign a weight to each evaluation element, add the weights according to the evaluation elements to each appointment place, and calculate a place having the highest total weight as the recommended appointment place.

In addition, the service providing server applies a ranking to each evaluation element, and finally, except for the corresponding place, for example, the bottom 30% of the places of the recommended appointment place according to each evaluation element, in order. The place can be calculated as a recommended appointment place.
