More specifically, the smart tagging device based on short-range communication that recognizes a user's situation using the tagging information and informs the result thereof, and using the same It relates to a location recognition method.

Currently, a variety of location-aware services based on absolute position coordinates based on GPS have been provided.

In the case of the GPS-based location recognition system, since the user's location information is exposed as it is, there is a problem that the personal image is easily leaked to a third party. In addition, since it is a system using GPS satellites, it is not only possible to use indoors, but also has a disadvantage in accuracy.

In addition, recently, social network services (SNS) have gained a lot of popularity, and if the network is formed according to the user's location to provide a service that will be able to increase the fun and convenience for the user.

An object of the present invention is to provide a smart tagging device based on short-range communication and a location-aware method using the same, which can form a location-based social network by easily recognizing the location of a device adjacent to the near-field based wireless communication.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a location recognition method based on short-range communication according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a block diagram of a smart tagging device for FIG. 1. The smart tagging device 100 includes a register 110, a short range communication unit 120, a tagging information extractor 130, a location calculator 140, and a DB 150.

In the present invention, the smart tagging device 100 includes all mobile terminals in which the function of smart tagging based on short-range communication is embedded. For example, the smart tagging device 100 may correspond to a smart phone, a smart pad, a notebook, and the like.

The short range communication corresponds to at least one of Bluetooth, RFID, and Zigbee communication. In the present embodiment, the Bluetooth communication is an embodiment for the convenience of description.

Hereinafter, the location recognition method based on the short-range communication will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, tagging information of the counterpart smart tagging device may be obtained by acquiring a unique address (eg, a Mac address of Bluetooth) based on short-range communication of at least one counterpart smart tagging device to form a social network. information) is registered in the DB 150 (S110). This step S110 is performed by the register 110.

Of course, in step S110, after receiving a request signal for registration of the counterpart tagging information from the user of the smart tagging device 100, scanning the counterpart tagging device in the vicinity to obtain a unique address, and the DB ( 150 as tagging information.

This step S110 can be performed through various embodiments, examples of which are as follows. First, when the user shakes his smart tagging device 100, that is, the first device, the shake is detected by the acceleration sensor built into the first device. The shake signal corresponds to a request signal for registering the other party's tagging information. When the shaking is detected, the first device transmits its own address (ex, MAC address) through short-range wireless communication to expose the unique address.

Then, at least one counterpart smart tagging device, that is, the second device in the vicinity, notifies the user of the second device of the detected content of the exposed unique address. When the user shakes the second device, the shaking is sensed by the acceleration sensor built in the second device. Accordingly, the unique address of the second device is transmitted to the first device and registered as tagging information.

That is, in step S110, when shaking is detected in each of the acceleration sensors provided in the smart tagging device and the counterpart smart tagging device, the tagging is performed by exchanging unique addresses of the counterpart and the counterpart. Register the information. This utilizes the function of the acceleration sensor embedded in the smart tagging device, and the user can easily obtain and store the unique address of the counterpart device by using a simple action of shaking the smart tagging device.

After the step S110, at least one smart tagging device located in the vicinity is scanned through the short-range communication unit 120 (S120). Since the scanning process of the peripheral apparatus through the short-range communication is a known configuration, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Also, at least one smart tagging device may be scanned.

Next, when the unique address of the scanned smart tagging device matches the unique address registered in the DB 150, tagging information of the scanned smart tagging device is extracted (S130). This step S130 is performed through the tagging information extractor 130. That is, if the currently scanned unique address matches any one of the unique addresses in the pre-stored DB 150, tagging information about the corresponding unique address may be extracted.

Thereafter, the relative position of the smart tagging device is calculated and displayed using the signal strength of the smart tagging device from which the tagging information is extracted (S140). This step S140 is performed by the position calculator 140.

If the signal strength of the surrounding smart tagging device from which the tagging information is extracted is known, the relative position of the surrounding smart tagging device with respect to the smart device 100 may be calculated and displayed. Here, the relative position includes at least one of relative distance and direction information. Since the process of calculating the relative position using the Received Signal Strength Indication / Indicator (RSSI) is well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to the process of step S140 as described above, not only whether the registered counterpart exists in the vicinity, but also the relative position information of the counterpart when the existing counterpart exists. In addition, when using the near field communication, the GPS function does not need to be separately provided, and the location of the other party can be easily determined even indoors.

The present invention can configure a local network based on the tagged DB (150) to provide a service accordingly. That is, the present invention can recognize a relative position between users and provide a social network service suitable for the same. In other words, the location of the user can be recognized and output on the smart device, thereby implementing a service suitable for situational awareness.

In addition, unlike existing social network services (ex, Twitter, Facebook, Cyworld), the present invention provides a locally based service. For example, if you need to check attendance at a meeting, it can take a long time to check every single person. At this time, if the terminal information for the attendees, that is, the unique address is stored in the DB 150, at the same time starting the meeting using the contents stored in the DB 150 and the terminal scanning information of the conference hall, it is easy to screen the attendance I can make it.

In addition, the present invention is easy to grasp the life pattern of the user. In other words, if the tagging information is used, the user can grasp in detail at which time and at what place the user stayed with whom. Such data could be useful in marketing or service areas.

 In this way, if the grasp of the relationship between the relative place and people more personalized than the absolute place commonly used by everyone, such as the present invention through the short-range communication, it is expected to create a number of application services other than the disclosed.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
