7 is a flowchart of a method for providing a real-time charge calculation service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7, the information receiving unit 111 of the vehicle matching unit 110 receives vehicle information (for example, the vehicle information) from a plurality of business vehicles subscribed to use the service provided by the charge calculation system 100, The vehicle number, the vehicle information, the vehicle position, the driving state, etc.) (S100). When receiving call information (terminal information, user information, location information, destination information, etc.) from the terminal 200 for an arbitrary user (S110), the recommended vehicle guidance unit 113 transmits the vehicle information received in step S100 The recommended vehicle is matched to the terminal 200 based on the call information received in step S110 (S120).

When the recommended vehicle guidance unit 113 matches the recommended vehicle, the user who has used the service provided by the fare calculation system 100 or the vehicle nearest to the user's position, based on the preference information input in advance Matches recommended vehicles. Since the recommendation vehicle matching can be performed through various methods, a detailed description will be omitted in the embodiment of the present invention.

If the vehicle is matched in step S120, the recommended vehicle guidance unit 113 transmits vehicle information (e.g., vehicle number) to the user terminal, user information (e.g., terminal phone number) Respectively (S130 and S140).

When the user is boarded in the matched vehicle through the above procedure, the charge calculation unit 122 of the charge settlement unit 120 calculates the charge rate based on the vehicle speed information, the location information, and the location information transmitted from the terminal 200 The fee is calculated in real time (S200). In step S200, the fare information calculated by the fare calculator 122 is transmitted to the terminal 200 of the passenger in real time (S210). The fare calculator 122 determines whether the vehicle has arrived at the destination entered by the passenger (S220). If the vehicle has not arrived at the destination, the fare calculator 122 repeats the real-time charge calculation procedure in step S200.

However, if the fare calculation unit 122 determines that the vehicle has arrived at the destination, the fare payment unit 126 confirms whether a request message requesting payment of the fare from the terminal 200 of the passenger is received (S230) . In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the general payment method of calculating the vehicle boarding fee by using only cash or a card, the fare calculation system 100 prepares the vehicle boarding fee in advance and presents a method of receiving the settlement from the passenger at a later time.

If the payment request message has not been received, the fee will be paid in the usual way. However, if the payment request message is received from the terminal 200, the additional service providing system 400 linked to the fare calculation system 100 immediately receives the boarding fee. The charge calculation system 100 stores and manages the charged rate information and the passenger information, and requests the terminal 200 to charge the terminal 200 after a predetermined date has passed after the passenger boarded the vehicle or on the date set by the passenger do.

In this process, the fare calculation system 100 may provide an advertisement or contents to the passenger to discount a boarding fee, or may provide a recommendation route based on current traffic conditions.

For example, the fare settlement unit 120 mediates a specific advertisement or contents with the terminal 200 of the passenger. When the occupant watches the advertisement or uses the contents using the terminal 200, the boarding fee is discounted by the number of times the advertisement is viewed or the number of contents. Since the discount rate based on the advertisement or contents use is stored in the charge information management unit 123, the charge calculation unit 122 provides the discounted charge to the passenger based on the reference information.

As another example, while the vehicle is headed for the destination, the supplementary service interworking unit 124 checks whether there is a bypass route other than the route along the current traveling direction of the vehicle based on the traffic information received from the additional service providing system 400. If it is determined that the bypass route is used or the boarding fee is charged less, the bypass route is guided to the terminal 200 of the passenger and the terminal installed in the vehicle.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the service used by the occupant can also be transmitted to the terminal of the business vehicle.
