On the other hand, an input field for inputting the vehicle type may be provided by the user in advance so that the vehicle type can be selected in advance and can be searched based on the position.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, available vehicle list information is output, and detailed information and optional functions of the vehicle are provided as shown in FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 10, It will be done.

If the reservation is made through the rental car reservation mediating application as described above, reservation, payment, option selection, and payment window are provided without complicated input for reservation as in the conventional manner. Therefore, .

The components will be described below.

The reservation information obtaining unit 205 provides the reservation date and time input window to the user when the rental car reservation mediating application is activated.

At this time, the reservation date and time information inputted by the user are obtained.

When the user downloads the rental car reservation mediating application, the user is subjected to a separate member authentication. The user is provided with the user information provided through the member authentication to the rental car reservation mediating application server and managed.

In addition, the technology of the present invention provides rental car reservation information according to the location basis in which the user is currently located.

Of course, car rental reservations can also be made through separate local search and vehicle search, but these techniques are general techniques and will not be described in detail.

In the case of the present invention, companies providing rentalable vehicles distributed nationwide will be provided by the rental car reservation mediating app server. Therefore, it is possible to provide rental car information that varies in real time to a smart device equipped with a rental car reservation mediating application do.

Accordingly, the problem that the conventional service is limited is improved, so that users can access the rental car anytime and anywhere via the smart device, thereby providing the expandability.

In addition, small and mid-sized car rental companies that face regional limitations can offer their car rental business online or in the app environment, providing opportunities to provide services that are not competitive with large corporations.

The location acquiring unit 210 acquires current location information of the current smart device of the user.

At this time, the location-based vehicle information request unit 215 requests the location-based vehicle information to the rental car reservation intermediary app server.

For example, when a user is located in Udong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, they will provide rental vehicle information provided by rental car companies located within a radius of 10 km from the relevant area.

The radius range may be configured to be set by the user in advance, but the service radius may be designated by the service provider in advance.

In addition, since the location-based service may not be used, the area setting window may be provided separately for the user.

The preferred vehicle sorting unit 220 obtains the location-based vehicle list information provided by the rental car reservation mediating app server and sets the reservation date and time at 10:00 am on December 25, 2013, for example, , The vehicle list information capable of being rented within a radius of 10 km from the udon at that time is extracted and provided.

At this time, the extracted vehicle becomes an EXEC, a chairman, a Santa Fe, a Genesis, a Mercedes, and the like, and provides it as a list of vehicles. In this case, the user can provide a setting window for selecting his preferred vehicle as Genesis in advance.

In addition, based on the reservation record booked by the users through the rental car reservation intermediary app, the preferred vehicle type through analysis of the usage pattern of the user is sorted to rank in the upper part, and the vehicle list is reproduced and displayed.

In other words, if Genesis 5, Benz 4, Santa Fe, 3, and Chairman 2 are used, then the list of vehicles is regenerated by sorting in Genesis, Benz, Santa Fe, Chairman, and Equus.

The means of ranking the preferred vehicle to the higher level is to regenerate it in descending order based on the analysis result of the usage pattern of the user.

The above condition means a case where a location-based vehicle exists.

However, it may happen that the location-based vehicle list information can not be obtained from the rental car reservation intermediary app server.

At this time, the similar condition reservation cancellation unit 225 generates a request signal of the vehicle list in a time zone different from the reservation date of the region near the corresponding position, the vehicle list which can be rented at the time or the reservation date of the corresponding location, And displays the neighboring local vehicle list information obtained by the request.

For example, referring to the reservation date and time set by the user, the vehicle list request signal that can be rented from the left side of the vicinity of Udon in Haeundaegu is regenerated and provided to the rental car reservation intermediary app server.

On the other hand, it may happen that the corresponding vehicle does not exist even by the operation of the preferred car sorting unit or the similar condition reservation presetting unit.

At this time, the re-search request unit 230 generates and provides a re-entry window to re-input the reservation date and time.

Conventionally, when a vehicle does not exist on a reservation date and time zone desired by the user, the user may have to reload the reservation page, which may cause a problem of delaying the operation time. In the case of the present invention, A re-input window is generated and provided so that unnecessary loading time can be minimized.

For example, an exterior photographing area of a Genesis model is obtained from a photographing outline area exposing module, and an exterior photographing area is output on a screen of the smart device, and the appearance of the Genesis is made coincident with the photographing area.

For example, when the front, rear, left, right, driver's, assistant, and rear magnet outer contours are presented, the exterior appearance of the generic to be photographed is matched.

At this time, the photographing icon can be pressed or the photographing can be automatically carried out when the photographer enters the appearance.

The shot image information acquisition module acquires shot image information about a vehicle located inside the shot area, and the shot information input module provides an input window for inputting the content of the shot when the shot has a scratch on the shot image .

For example, when the front of Genesis is photographed and the actual appearance is checked, if the scratches are present, the contents of the scratches (for example, two scratches on the bumper near the front driver's seat) are input.

Further, it is also possible to further include a flaw enlargement module (not shown) for providing a guide window for enlarging and photographing the vicinity of the flaws upon input so as to magnify and photograph the flaw again.

At this time, when the scratch information is input, the scratch information transmitting module matches the scratch information and the shot image to the rental car reservation mediating app server.

The user confirms whether there is a flaw by checking the image of the exterior of the vehicle in advance and confirms whether or not there is another flaw after confirming in real time with reference to the flaw itself by himself or herself, . ≪ / RTI >
