Therefore, even if there is no separate facility investment or operation, the present invention enables the administrator or the guardian to confirm whether the protected person has entered the registered POI area, and at this time, the entered protected person restricts the use of the smart terminal, You will be able to see what you have done.

Referring to FIG. 4, the smart terminal of the protection target scans neighboring AP devices to acquire AP information and register the POI area (S100)

For reference, the POI area to be registered at this time is a place where a guardian or an administrator and a subject live together, a school, a school, a workplace, etc., where a guardian or a protected person frequently visits or needs a location confirmation. Therefore, the POI area may be an area where an AP device is installed in a moving vehicle or a school bus.

Then, the smart terminal forms a profile to be executed in the registered POI area (S200)

Then, the smart terminal periodically scans AP devices disposed in the vicinity to acquire AP information (S300)

Then, the smart terminal periodically compares the AP information acquired and the AP information of the registered POI area, and confirms whether the AP enters the POI area (S400).

At this time, if the POI is entered into the smart terminal, an instruction command to be executed according to the registered profile is checked (S500)

Then, the smart terminal performs a predetermined operation (S600) by controlling the embedded hardware or software according to the confirmed instruction command,

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the smart terminal may further include a step of generating a message reporting the execution result and transmitting the generated message to the smart terminal of the registered guardian or administrator (S700).

In addition, the smart terminal checks and acquires only AP information having a signal strength value equal to or higher than a predetermined level (S104), stores the AP information, and registers the POI area (S105, S106)

At this time, in the step of registering the POI area (S100), if the smart terminal of the guardian or manager located at a remote location transmits AP information for registering the POI area, as shown in FIG. 6,

The smart terminal receives the AP information (S111), confirms the received AP information (S112), and registers the POI area by storing the AP information (S105, S106).

In addition, the process of registering the POI area (S100) may be performed in a case where the person to be protected is a place such as a school, a school, a workplace,

(S120, S102, S103, S104) of registering a plurality of pieces of AP information located in the vicinity while the protection target moves, and registering the AP information as one POI area (S105, S106) It is possible.

In addition, the step (S300) of scanning the AP device, which is periodically arranged in the vicinity of the smart terminal, to acquire the AP information includes securing only the AP information having a signal strength value equal to or higher than a predetermined level, And reporting the corresponding AP information to the POI recognition unit when the same AP information is obtained by repeating the same twice more.

In addition, the smart terminal compares the AP information periodically secured with the AP information of the registered POI area and confirms whether the AP enters the POI area (S400). According to the embodiment, If you are registered as a member,

Matching the AP information periodically secured with the registered POI area information to recognize the AP information even if the AP information matches only one or more AP information;

And updating and registering the newly acquired AP information when recognizing the POI area.

That is, when three pieces of AP information are registered as one POI area, if two pieces of scanned AP information are identical and one is wrong, it is recognized as a POI area and the different AP information is registered as new AP information.

For reference, these POI-based context processing applications can be implemented and modified in various ways according to the method of controlling the hardware or software in the smart terminal.

Example 1

That is, a child or a student installs a POI-based context processing application on his or her smart terminal, obtains the AP information of the AP device of the house in which the user currently resides or the AP device of the school, registers it as a POI, . (At this time, the created profile can register various instruction commands, but it generates a character notifying the fact that the POI is entered and registers an instruction command to transmit it to the smart terminal of the guardian or manager.)

Then, when the student moves, the smart terminal periodically scans the AP devices disposed in the vicinity, and checks whether the acquired AP information matches the registered POI information.

Then, when the student arrives at the school or home registered as a POI, the smart terminal acquires the AP information installed at home or at the school, and the acquired AP information matches the AP information of the registered POI region Once recognized,

And a letter indicating that the student has arrived at " POI (house / school) "according to the registered profile.

At this time, a letter indicating that the registered guardian or administrator's smart terminal has arrived at the POI area (home / school) is sent out so that the guardian or manager can confirm that the child has arrived at the school / house safely will be

For reference, at this time, according to the embodiment of the present invention, a wireless AP is installed on a school bus, and the wireless AP is registered as a POI area, so that the student can be informed of whether or not his / her school bus ride /

At this time, when the guardian or the manager transmits an instruction command to the smart terminal of the child, the smart terminal of the child receives the instruction command,

At this time, the smart terminal transmits the application usage history, information or control fact to the smart terminal of the guardian or manager.

Therefore, the guardian or the administrator can not only confirm the fact that his / her child is home, but also can check what he / she has done using the smart terminal at home after returning home. If his / her child has played too much game, It will be possible to do.

Example 2

Also, in the present invention, the modern society may provide an assured service to the parents who are living alone by becoming aged and a nuclear family.

In other words, the POI-based status processing application is installed in the parent's smart terminal, and the AP information of the AP device installed in the house where the user currently resides or the AP device installed in the user's home is secured, registered as POI, can do. (The profile formed at this time can register various instruction commands, but it is also possible to create a character notifying the fact that the POI has been entered, or a character notifying that it has not moved for a long time, and transmitting it to the smart terminal of the guardian or manager You can register.

Then, when the parent moves, the smart terminal periodically scans AP devices disposed in the vicinity, and it is determined whether the acquired AP information matches the registered POI information.

Then, when the parent arrives at a home or a home registered as a POI, the smart terminal obtains AP information of the AP device installed in the home or the old age. At this time, the smart terminal acquires the acquired AP information and the registered POI area Once you know that the AP information matches,

According to the registered profile, a character is generated to inform that the parents have arrived at the "POI (home / old man)".

At this time, a letter indicating that the registered guardian or administrator's smart terminal has arrived at the POI area (home / old man) is sent out so that the guardian or the administrator can confirm that the parents have arrived at home / will be

When a user confirms that there is no movement for a long time through a gyro sensor, a camera, or a microphone included in the smart terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, To the smart terminal of the parent, and may be able to confirm the safety of the parents.

Also, when the guardian or the manager sends an instruction command to the smart terminal of the parent, the smart terminal of the parent receives the instruction command,

At this time, the smart terminal may load history or information for confirming when the parents go out, and when they return home, and may transmit the history or information to the smart terminal of the guardian or the manager.

Therefore, the guardian or the administrator can check his / her parents' ears and see where they came from and when they came in.

Example 3

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a researcher installs a POI-based status processing application in his smart terminal, obtains AP information of an AP device installed in a research institute or a factory currently working, , A profile may be formed. (The profile formed at this time can register various instruction commands, but registers instruction commands for limiting the functions of the smart terminal (camera, communication, etc.) upon POI entry.)

For reference, when the researcher moves in the future, the smart terminal periodically scans AP devices disposed in the vicinity, and checks whether the acquired AP information matches the registered POI information.

Then, when the researcher enters into a laboratory or a factory registered as a POI, the smart terminal acquires AP information of the AP device installed in the research institute or factory. At this time, the acquired AP information is transmitted to the AP Once we are able to recognize the fact that it is consistent with the information,

The smart terminal generates a character indicating that the researcher has arrived at a POI (laboratory / factory) requiring security.

At this time, according to the registered profile, the function of the camera module, the communication module or the storage device (removable disk) built in the smart terminal is restricted so that the information that needs security inside the company does not go out.

At this time, the fact that the researcher has entered the research institute or the factory may be transmitted to the management server so that the manager can confirm the entry and exit of the researcher.

Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to a smart phone, a smart phone, a tablet, a notebook, a smart TV, an Internet (VoIP) phone, , Academy, bus station, building, etc., it is possible to confirm whether or not the person to be protected is in the registered POI area, even if a separate system investment and construction cost is not required.
