Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a navigation service providing system using a wearable device and a service providing method using the same.

The present invention relates to a navigation service providing system using a wearable device and a service providing method using the same, and more particularly, to a navigation service providing system using a wearable device such as a smart glass, To a technique for providing related navigation information and providing content services related thereto.

Wearable device means a device that can be worn on the body of human beings and it can be worn with glasses, watches, bracelets, shoes, rings, belts, bands, necklaces, Headset, clothes, and so on. These wearable devices are currently in a stage of rapid penetration, among which wearable glasses, wearable watches, and wearable bands, which are closely related to human life and are easy to wear, are forming the largest product group.

On the other hand, wearable devices are also referred to as smart devices in other words. It is necessary to start driving by the user's input. However, once the driving is started, various additional information can be automatically generated and supplied to the user from then on. For example, if a user wearing a wearable watch wants to measure his or her own heart rate, the wearable watch measures the user's heart rate at the same time the user presses the heart rate measurement input button and generates various information based on the measured heart rate It can be provided to the user. On the other hand, in recent years, many wearable devices that do not require the start of driving by the user's input have appeared. For example, in the case of a wearable band, the user's heart rate can be continuously measured even if there is no drive start by the user's input, and the wearable device in the future is likely to develop in a direction that does not require the start of driving by the user's input Very high. This is because the convenience of driving the device is increased as much as the input of the user is unnecessary.

 The source of the various additional information that the wearable device provides to the user is the information measured by the user. Therefore, a wearable device must implement a sensor for measuring various information from a user, and a larger number of types of mounted sensors can measure a lot of information from the user. Therefore, a heart rate measuring sensor, a GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor and a foot count measuring sensor are required to be mounted on a wearable device in recent years, and researches for mounting various sensors in a space inside a limited device have been continued.

After the wearable device measures information from the user through the mounted sensor, the wearable device can generate various additional information on the basis of the information and provide it to the user. For example, the user's current location can be measured to provide information about nearby stores or products related to the user's interests. Although provision of such additional information may be provided through the function of the wearable device itself, it is not possible to provide all the additional information necessary for each different user in one wearable device. Thus, recently, an application installed in the wearable device It is being developed together. In this case, the application can be viewed as a kind of application program, and can generate various additional information based on the information measured through the function of the wearable device itself and provide it. In this example, provision of information on nearby stores or items related to the user's interests can be performed by the application. In other words, every time a new application is developed, the additional information that can be provided to the user through the wearable device has to be diversified. The development of the application can be regarded as a future partner with development of the wearable device itself.

Meanwhile, in recent years, it has become a main concern of the related industry to provide a system capable of providing digital content or settlement through a wearable device. For example, by including a Near Frequency Communication (NFC) function in the wearable device itself and registering the user's credit card and personal authentication information in the application, the user can view the digital content presented through the wearable device You can use it together to make a payment. That is, the mobile wallet function can be performed by replacing the conventional wallet.

In general, it is advantageous to use the shortest distance information when the entire shopping distance is long, and to use the navigation information according to the property of the commodity so that the heavy commodity can be placed at the bottom of the cart when the shopping distance is short . For example, referring to FIG. 3, the product information is displayed in the order of 1. bottled water, 2. shampoo, and 3. confectionery.

On the other hand, the shortest distance information generated by the shortest distance navigation information generating unit 232 and the goods property navigation information generated by the goods property navigation information generating unit 233 can be selected.

At this time, when the navigation information selection unit 234 selects the shortest distance information generated by the shortest distance navigation information generation unit 232, the navigation information selection unit 234 selects a movement path for passing at least one item of interest It is possible to provide the shortest distance navigation information for moving from the interested goods passed through to the settlement place. For example, when the user has to quickly shop, he can select the shortest distance navigation information and help him to shop.

On the other hand, when the navigation information selection unit 234 selects the goods property navigation information generated by the goods property navigation information generation unit 233, the navigation information selection unit 234 can provide the navigation information according to the predetermined product property information.

For example, if the user desires to purchase a commodity that is likely to be deteriorated with time, such as seafood or ice cream, the user can select the commodity property navigation information as described above.
