Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING CALL-TAXI SERVICE [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a call service service providing system and a call service service providing method in which a user requests a call service by a user terminal and a reasonable fee can be paid.

In general, taxi fares are calculated using the prescribed fare system, which calculates the base fare plus travel charges taking into account time and distance. Such a method of calling a taxi is generally distinguished by a method in which a user takes a taxi of a tolerance state on the street immediately or the taxi which is a tolerance is moved to a user's position through a predetermined call center.

In the latter case, it is referred to as call taxi or call taxi service, and ordinary users pay an additional fee in consideration of the fee for moving to the location of the user in the transaction practice. Generally, when a fixed rate of 1,000 won is calculated, for example, when a user calls a call service by calling a call center, a notice of a flat rate is issued to the user, and when the passenger gets off or rides, In addition to the charge shown in FIG. 4A, the call service and the taxi fare are paid.

Charges for these call services will be distributed to operators, operators and / or taxi companies at a fixed rate.

5 is a flowchart showing a first embodiment of a method for providing a call service by the call service providing system described above.

The method of providing caller service according to the first embodiment of the present invention basically includes a step S110 of providing taxi car information through a user terminal 2100 in a server unit 1100 and a step S110 of providing taxi car information through a user terminal 2100 (S130) in which the selected vehicle is called from the calling unit 1120 of the server unit 1100 through the taxi terminal 2200, and a step S130 of selecting the taxi vehicle specified by the position information providing unit 1110 (S140) of calculating an estimated charge by the charge calculating section 1140 based on the positional relationship between the specific taxi terminal 2200 and the user terminal 2100 collected in the taxi terminal 2100, A step S160 of starting a user to a user location of the taxi terminal 2200 and a step S160 of operating a meter 2220 provided in the taxi terminal 2200 in the settlement processing unit 1150, (S170), a step of the taxi car If this check may be made to step the payment of the charge made (S180), a step (S190) comprises a getting off from the vehicle cab.

The method of providing a call service in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention can be operated based on the call service providing system described with reference to Figs.

The call taxi service providing method of the present invention basically provides the taxi information through the terminal of the user terminal 2100 (S110), selects the taxi car by the user terminal 2100 (S120) The estimated charge of the call charge and / or the fare is calculated (S140) by the charge calculating section 1140 and the start (S150) and the riding (S170) are performed through the taxi terminal 2200, The calculation and settlement of the call charge are calculated and paid out by a mutual action of the server unit 1100, the user terminal 2100 and the taxi terminal 2200 in a series of processes Common.

However, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the meter unit 2220 in the taxi terminal 2200 is operated by the server unit 1100 to calculate the call charge, and in the second embodiment, which will be described later, It should be noted that there is a difference in that the fare is separated or paid by the settlement server 3000 separately.

The provision of the taxi information S110 is performed by classifying the taxi vehicle capable of a call service, that is, the tolerance, in the service information storage unit 1170, and storing the position information of the user terminal 2100 collected in the location information providing unit 1110 as center To the user terminal 2100 in the order of the shortest distance or the shortest time.

The providing of the taxi information (S110) may be implemented through a predetermined application or a web program installed in the user terminal 2100. The server unit 1100 may be a system for providing a predetermined call service through such application or web program Can be understood as part of.

The provision of the taxi information (S110) may be a predetermined table implemented through the application or predetermined location information displayed on the map. Also, such taxi information may include information on the number of the taxi vehicle or the identity of the driver.

Meanwhile, the taxi information provided to the user terminal 2100 may include a distance from the specific taxi car to the location of the user, the arrival time, and an estimated fare to be described later. In this manner, the user can call the taxi vehicle in the shortest or shortest time from the list of taxi vehicles implemented in the user terminal 2100, thereby making it possible to improve the economic advantage in terms of the user.

The selection and selection of the taxi car (S120) may likewise be done in a manner selected by the user from a list of predetermined information implemented in the user terminal, which is preferably done in a touch manner.

When the selection of the taxi car (S120) is performed as described above, the user terminal communication unit 1310 of the communication server 1300 receives the selection signal and the calling unit 1120 of the server unit 1100 receives the selection signal (S130).

Such a call (S130) can be made by notifying the driver through the taxi terminal (2200, 2110). In some cases, the location and the contact of the user can be included through various display means. However, the display of such a call is not limited to the one made by the meter 2220 or the mobile phone, but may be performed by navigation provided on the taxi vehicle or a separate display means, May include such separate display means.

In the case of the taxi vehicle, it can be understood that the taxi service is started when such a call (S130) is made. In some cases, a confirmation step for calling by the driver of the taxi vehicle specified after the calling step (S130) Time) may be further included.

This confirmation step may be performed by a method of the driver's selection through the taxi terminal 2200. In some cases, the confirmation step may further include a rejection step of the call service. For example, although the vehicle is registered as a call service enabled vehicle in the travel information storage unit 1170, it may be that another passenger is occupied by the time difference in the process of selection or calling by the user terminal 2100, A waste of unnecessary time and cost can be prevented.

After the call (S130) is performed as described above or the response by the driver is made, the server 1100 calculates the estimated charge at the charge calculating unit 1140 (S140). These estimated charges may include call charges and freight rates. In some cases, only the call charges may be calculated, individual calculations may be made, or a total calculation may be made.

The present invention mainly provides a concept of calculating a call rate based on the location of the user terminal 2100 collected by the location information providing unit 1110 and the location of the specified taxi terminal 2200 Calculation can be made.

In addition, the fare calculation unit 1140 of the server unit 1100 preferably reflects the weight of the traffic volume collected in the traffic information providing server (not shown) in real time to provide a more accurate estimated fare. The calculation and provision of the estimated fare may be performed in the taxi information providing step S110 described above. In this case, information on the estimated call rate for the taxi vehicles arbitrarily selected by the user terminal 2100, rather than the specified taxi vehicle, may be provided, so that the user can make a more rational choice.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, a taxi vehicle is started by a call (S150), and a predetermined taxi terminal (2200) control signal provided from the server unit (1100) through the taxi terminal communication unit (1320) Operation S160 is started.

That is, the system of an embodiment of the present invention provides a concept that the fare and call rates can be summed together by operating a meter 2220 connected to the communication module 2220 at the same time as the actual start of the call service.

In this case, the user rides at the user's location (S170), and when the user reaches the destination, the user can pay the total charge, which is the sum of the call charge and the fare added to the meter (2220), at the site (S180). In this case, unlike the separately charged call rate, it is possible to calculate by a reasonable distance, and the complexity of the fee calculation is minimized.

When the above-mentioned payment is made and the user gets off (S190), it can be understood that the call service is terminated. In this case, the boarding decision unit 1130 may determine the termination of the call service. In the case of the riding, as described above, the position of the user terminal 2100 collected by the location information providing unit 1110 and the specified taxi terminal The location of the user terminal 2100 collected in the location information providing unit 1110 and the location of the user terminal 2100 collected in the location information providing unit 1110 can be understood as the case where the location of the user terminal 2100 is overlapped, It may be understood that the case where the position of the taxi terminal 2200 is distanced or the operation of the meter 2220 is stopped according to the method of the first embodiment of the present invention. The above operation of the meter 2220 can be stopped by manual input of the driver.

However, in the case of the above concept, there is a possibility that the call charge is excessively imposed by the operation of the meter, or the burden of the user may be increased when the increase of the charge is started too early considering the distance of the base charge.

In consideration of this, a method may be considered in which a settlement is made with the estimated fee as a limit when the call charge imposed from the estimated rate provided in the estimated rate calculation step (S140) is exceeded.

Hereinafter, embodiments of various charge calculation will be described in more detail.

FIG. 6 is a table showing various embodiments in which charges are calculated in the call service service providing method of the present invention.

6A, the start of the operation of the meter 2220 is referred to as the time when the call (S130) or the start (S150) is performed according to the concept of the basic first embodiment, The cumulative distance is imposed reflecting the standard to be imposed.

For example, when a base rate of 2,400 won is charged for a basic 2-km section, and 100 won is added for every 144m exceeded, a base rate of 2,400 won is charged uniformly from the start S150 to the boarding S170. do. Here, a basic fare is levied uniformly until the riding is completed, and 2 km is passed. From the starting point of 2 km from the departure point, the weight is increased by 100 won per section. Thus, in the first example of charging, the riding position of the passenger is not an important factor, and only the route from the departure to the riding and the destination becomes an element of the calculation. In this case, the operation of the meter 2220 continues from the start of the call service to the end of the call service.

If you are between 2.144km and 2.288km to the destination, the total of the call charge plus the fare will be 2,600 won.

In FIG. 6 (b), an example is shown in which the call charge and the fare are charged separately.

In the first example, the case may be the user's benefit as the case may be, for example, the distance between the departure place and the riding ground and the destination is not so large and does not deviate greatly from the base fare. However, there is a possibility that the distance between the departure point and the riding ground may be more disadvantageous to the user.

In the second example of charge charging of the present invention, the call charge and the fare are operated separately. For example, the call charge may be calculated as a flat charge of 1,000 won. At this time, in consideration of the convenience of payment, it is preferable that the meter 2220 displays the call fare and the summed fare. That is, a fare of a flat rate is calculated from the departure place to the riding place, and the meter 2220 starts to integrate the fare based on the riding time. However, in addition to the accumulated charges, the call charges that are cumulated may be displayed together or displayed together

In the case of the second example as described above, an advantage can be provided to the user when the distance of the riding ground is far from the starting point as compared with the first example.

In the second example, the riding ground and the destination are important factors for calculating the fare. In this case, it is advantageous in that the passenger can easily make a payment when the passenger can not ride the car even though the passenger travels from the starting point to the riding point. This will be described later in the description of FIG.

In FIG. 6 (c), unlike the first and second examples, the charge is proportionally added from departure to riding. The sum of the base fare and the margin for the basic travel distance Provides a concept that occurs.

Specifically, at the time when the call service is started, 100 won is added to each distance in proportion to the distance, for example, 144m. In order to minimize the complaint about the basic distance charge, the basic fare and the basic distance are provided.

Therefore, it is enough for the user to pay a call fee proportional to the distance of use of the call service, and the fare system such as the use of the ordinary taxi service is applied after the ride.

Therefore, the third example of the charging of the present invention is similar to the first example in terms of the calculation of a reasonable call rate in terms of distance or time, and from the viewpoint of the user, It should be noted that there are aspects similar to the two examples.

In the above embodiments, the calculation of the fare may be performed through the taxi terminal 2200, which is the meter 2220. In some cases, the server unit 1100 does not operate in conjunction with the meter 2220, The terminal 2110 may be configured to interoperate with the terminal and to calculate and pay a fee separately from the meter.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a call service according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The method of providing caller service according to the second embodiment of the present invention basically includes a step S110 of providing taxi vehicle information through the user terminal 2100 in the server unit 1100 and a step S110 of providing taxi car information to the user through the user terminal 2100 (S130) in which the selected vehicle is called from the calling unit 1120 of the server unit 1100 through the taxi terminal 2200, and a step S130 of selecting the taxi vehicle specified by the position information providing unit 1110 (S140) of calculating an estimated charge by the charge calculating section 1140 based on the positional relationship between the specific taxi terminal 2200 and the user terminal 2100 collected in the taxi terminal 2100, (S150) in which a departure to the user's location of the user is performed (S150). In this regard, a description overlapping with the first embodiment will be omitted.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the above-described concept, a confirmation is made as to whether or not the vehicle is being ridden (S220), thereby suggesting a method for making a more reasonable call fee payment.

Specifically, when a call using the user terminal 2100 of the user is made (S130), the actual calculation of the call rate starts with the departure S150 of the taxi vehicle (S210).

The calculation of such a call rate can be applied to an example of the charge imposing system described above. As in the first example, the calculation of the call fee can be calculated by the operation of the meter 2220 from the start, As in the second example, the call rate may be a flat rate, and the call rate may be weighted as a ratio according to the distance as in the third example. In addition to the above method, various methods can be selectively applied to the calculation of the call charge.

The calculation of the call charge is started (S210), and it is determined whether or not the taxi driver arrives at the position of the user terminal 2100 displayed on the taxi terminal 2200 (S220).

At this time, when the riding is determined (S220), the call fee is paid (S230), the operation of the meter (2220) is started (S250), and the payment of the fare (S260) can be made when the fare reaches the destination.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, an example in which the settlement of the call fee (S230) is performed before the settlement of the fare (S260) is described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, as in the above example, when the taxi car is started (S150) by the call (S130), the meter 2220 is activated and the charge is accumulated, and the settlement of the call fee (S230) ). ≪ / RTI >

When the vehicle is normally ridden as described above, the fare is paid and the user is unloaded (S270), thereby stopping the call service.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the riding is not possible (S220), since the call service has already been started but the fare can not be collected, there is a need to pay a minimum charge for a predetermined call rate. In other words, according to the necessity of maintenance of the unnecessary time and cost in the position of the taxi driver, the settlement of the predetermined call charge (S240) may be performed in this case as well.

The settlement of the call charge (S240) in the case where such a ride is not made can be performed by a virtual settlement method such as mobile settlement. In this case, the call service providing system according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. Can be applied. That is, when the user calls a specific taxi vehicle through a predetermined application implemented in the user terminal 2100, it can be approved in advance that the payment for the anticipated call rate or the predetermined flat rate can be made in advance. (S240) is performed even if the riding is not carried out according to the call fee.

In the prior art, when a predetermined call rate is collected in the field by fixed amount and cash, time and cost loss occur when the vehicle is not ridden. In contrast, in the case where the system and method for providing call service are applied to the concept of the present invention, It should be noted that even if not done, there is an advantage of being able to maintain a reasonable call rate.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of determining whether or not a vehicle is to be picked up in the method for providing a call service according to the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG.

For example, when the user starts the taxi vehicle (S150) and the user terminal 2100 cancels the vehicle before the arrival (S150) Or when the user arrives at the position of the user terminal 2100 through the information provided by the taxi vehicle but the user is absent or the user denies boarding at the riding position. However, it should be noted that the case where the riding is not performed is not necessarily limited thereto.

The process of determining whether or not such a riding has been made is not limited to the procedure described below, and such a process may be changed, added or excluded.

In the case where the riding is not determined in S220, if it is canceled by the user's intention (S221), confirmation (S281) in the user terminal 2100, more precisely, (S241) for a predetermined call charge can be made.

The settlement of the call fee (S241) in the above case may be the payment of the entire expected call rate calculated by the charge calculation section 1140. If the calculation of the call rate is performed by the meter 2220 as described above, The charge imposed based on the time point may be set as the call rate. Such a call fee may be viewed as a penalty, which may include an agreement on a penalty for a penalty in advance.

It is also possible to determine when the taxi vehicle arrives at the riding position but the user is absent (S222). If the user is absent without a cancellation request in advance, confirmation (S282) may be made via the taxi terminal 2200, More precisely, the input of the user member can be made by the predetermined input means implemented in the taxi terminal 2200 by the driver at the riding position, and the call charge can be paid (S242).

The settlement of the above-mentioned call fee (S242) can be applied to the case of the user cancellation (S221). However, in this case, since a predetermined call service is provided from the start to the arrival, unlike the case described above, the settlement can be made for the entire call rate.

Further, in the case of the denial of boarding (S223), both the case of the user terminal 2100 and the case of the taxi terminal 2200 can be considered. However, in this case, since the call service is provided but the fare can not be received, it is preferable that confirmation (S283) through the taxi terminal 2200 is performed. In this case, the description overlapping with the case of the user member S222 described above will be omitted.

In a case where all of the above judgments (S220, S221, S222, and S223) are not satisfied, it is more preferable that the payment is held (S280) because the predetermined information to the server unit 1100 is not inputted at either side Do.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the server unit 1100 may operate in conjunction with the settlement server 3000 via the relay network 2000, and a predetermined call rate may be paid by an automated virtual settlement means such as mobile settlement It is advantageous to suspend the settlement (S280) once it is out of the above cases.

Meanwhile, FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a correlation in which a predetermined confirmation and payment are made in the course of the above-described series of call services and passenger operations.

When the user terminal 2100 confirms the information about the predetermined taxi car by the user at step S120 and then the call is made at step S130, the charge start is approved by the user at step S310 . Approval of this fee initiation (S310) can be understood as substantially starting the call service in the server unit (1100).

At this time, approval may be made by the driver in the process of starting the taxi vehicle (S150) by receiving the call. The approval of the driver may be performed through the confirmation through the taxi terminal 2200 (S320).

It should be noted that the approval by the user of the charge start (S310) and the confirmation by the driver through the taxi terminal 2200 (S320) can be understood as the concept of subscription and acceptance for the call service. That is, based on this arrangement, even if the riding is not made in the riding determination (S220), the predetermined call charge can be automatically paid.

In addition, when the calculation of the call charge is started (S210), it can be understood that the accumulation procedure through the meter 2220 is started (S330) as in the system of the above embodiment.

When the vehicle is ridden (S220), whether or not the vehicle is ridden can be confirmed through the taxi terminal (2200) or the user terminal (2100). Such confirmation can be made through a predetermined input by the user or the driver, It is also possible to automatically recognize the case where the positions collected by the position information providing unit 1110 are superimposed on each other by riding.

In the case where the settlement server 3000 and the server unit 1100 are interlocked and automatic settlement is performed as described above, the fee is paid by the mobile payment (S350) In the same manner as the above.

At this time, the meter 2220 provides the settlement processing unit 1150 with the information of the accumulated charge taking time and distance through the communication module 2220, and the settlement processing unit 1150 automatically So that the total fee is paid.

However, the payment may be made only for the call rate.

In addition, the charging criteria of the call service fee according to the various embodiments described above can be configured to be selectable at the user terminal 2100, and the user may select a charging criterion favorable to him / her in some cases.

The call taxi service providing system and call taxi service providing method according to the concept of the present invention as described above can be operated in conjunction with the meter 2220 in the taxi terminal 2200 to calculate the call charge for providing the call service, There is an advantage that a service charge can be charged.

In addition, there is an advantage in that it is possible to eliminate the unreasonableness due to unnecessary call service provision by allowing the predetermined call rate to be automatically paid so as to preserve the loss of the judgment steps for the case where the boarding is not performed and the loss thereof .

In addition, the server unit 1100 applies the integrated fee calculation system to the call service and the freight managed in a binary manner, thereby easily providing the total charge and allowing the user to pay with ease and reliability.

In addition, since the location information of the user terminal 2100 and the taxi terminal 2200 can be collected and the user can select a taxi vehicle at a location where the call service can be used at the lowest cost, user satisfaction can be maximized.

Further, since the location information is collected and various information for safe use can be provided to the user, the reliability of the secure use can be maximized.

It should be noted that the method and system for providing a call service according to the concept of the present invention is not limited to the operation of a taxi vehicle but may be applied to various ways of providing a passenger or transportation service such as a bus or a substitute operation.
