The reception information processor 320 performs a function of transmitting and receiving data in cooperation with the communication network 130. The payment server interworking unit 330 includes a memory and a calculation module for electronic payment. When the short-range communication payment request signal is received from the terminal 110 through the short-range communication processor 310, the payment server interworking unit 330 transmits the received signal to the financial payment device 160 and pays from the financial payment device 160. When the acknowledgment signal is received, it transmits it to the terminal 110.

In FIG. 3, the local area communication device 120 includes the payment server interworking unit 330. However, in an actual implementation, the local area communication device 120 may not necessarily be provided with the payment server interworking unit 330. No, it may be implemented in the form of having only the short-range communication processing unit 310 may be installed, such as public transportation means, educational institutions, appointment places. Meanwhile, the short range communication device 120 may be implemented in the form of a force terminal by mounting a payment server interworking unit 330 which is a memory and an operation module for electronic payment. Of course, the local area communication device 120 is not necessarily limited thereto, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various devices may be applied without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a location notification method using short-range communication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user drives the location notification application mounted on the terminal 110 (S410). For example, when a user drives a location notification application mounted on the terminal 110 while using public transportation or entering or exiting a specific place, the application is driven. That is, the step S410 may be driven manually or automatically according to the user setting, not necessarily by the user manually running the corresponding application.

 The terminal 110 recognizes the near field communication device 120 in a non-contact manner using the provided near field communication module 202 and receives near field communication information from the recognized near field communication device 120 (S420). Referring to step S420 in detail, the terminal 110 transmits encrypted user identification information to the local area communication device 120 using bidirectional communication when receiving the local area communication information from the local area communication device 120 in a non-contact manner. . Of course, the terminal 110 transmits the encrypted user identification information to the local area communication device 120 may be changed according to the user's setting or operator's agreement. Here, the encrypted user identification information is information obtained by encrypting at least one or more information of the carrier information, the unique number of the subscriber identification module, and the terminal identification information.

Referring to step S420 as an example, when the user uses public transportation (bus, subway, taxi, etc.), the terminal 110 having the short range communication module 202 is provided in the short range communication device 120 installed in the public transportation. When tagging in the near field, the terminal 110 receives near field communication information from the near field communication device 120. Meanwhile, in the case of the short range communication device 120 installed in the public transport, the public transport information may be transmitted as the short range communication information.

To describe the near field communication information in more detail, the near field communication information may change the content of information included according to the object in which the near field communication device 120 is installed. For example, when the near field communication device 120 is applied to a public transportation means, when the near field communication device 120 is installed inside a taxi, the near field communication information may be 'personal taxi information', 'company taxi's company name. Information ”,“ taxi vehicle number information ”, and the like may be included as basic information, and may include information added when necessary. When the local area communication device 120 is installed inside the bus, the local area communication information may include 'route number information', 'bus vehicle number information', and 'bus direction (starting or ending point) information' as basic information. It may include information added at the time. When the local area communication device 120 is installed in the subway, the local area communication information may include 'boarding station information' and 'operation direction information' as basic information. To describe the case where the near field communication device 120 is applied to an educational institution such as an academy, when the near field communication device 120 is installed inside an academy, the near field communication information includes 'institution name information' and 'contact information' as basic information. If necessary, it may further include 'recent access time information'. Meanwhile, to describe the case where the near field communication device 120 is applied to an appointment place, the near field communication information may include basic information such as 'mutual information', 'contact information', 'find information', and the like. That is, the short range communication information may be applied differently depending on the location where the short range communication device 120 is installed.

When the near field communication information is received, the terminal 110 extracts navigation data from the GPS radio signal received through the GPS module 204 provided therein, and calculates current location information using the navigation data (S430). The terminal 110 generates surrounding area information on the calculated current location information (S440). In more detail with reference to step S440, when the current location information is calculated, the terminal 110 generates surrounding area information on the current location information by using the mounted map application.

The terminal 110 generates and displays location notification information combining local area communication information and surrounding area information (S450). In more detail with reference to step S450, the terminal 110 may generate log data that updates the surrounding area information at regular intervals for a predetermined time based on the short-range communication information and include it in the location notification information. That is, the terminal 110 may generate log data by periodically updating only surrounding area information based on short-range communication information. Meanwhile, the surrounding area information may be latitude and longitude information received from the GPS module 204 according to a user's setting.

The terminal 110 checks whether there is a message sending request for the location notification information by a user's operation or command (S460). That is, in step S460, it is determined whether to send the location notification information as a message. At this time, if the user does not want to send the message, the message content may be stored in the terminal 110 and the service may be terminated.

As a result of checking in step S460, when there is a message sending request for the location notification information by the user's operation or command, the terminal 110 checks whether there is a preset telephone number. If there is no preset phone number as a result of checking in step S460, the terminal 110 receives a phone number by a user's command or operation (S472). Meanwhile, as a result of checking in step S460, when there is a preset phone number, the terminal 110 sends the location notification information in the form of a message to the preset phone number or sends the location notification information in the form of a message to the phone number input by the user. Send (S480). Here, the message may be SMS or MMS. To explain the message sent in step S480 further, the terminal 110 by the user's command or operation only one of the near field communication information and the surrounding area information in the form of a message or a telephone number input by the user Ship by number.

The terminal 110 stores the details of the location notification information sent (S490). In more detail with reference to step S490, the terminal 110 stores the message sending history information of the sent location notification information, and displays the location notification information corresponding to the history information in the user's request among the message sending history information. .
