After the description of the terminal apparatus 100 and the hardware system for implementing the same, the configuration of the navigation service apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a navigation service apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the navigation service apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an information checking unit 210 for checking building-related information related to a destination building, A route setting unit 220 for detecting an optimum parking position based on a specific location in a destination building among a plurality of parking positions of the building and a route providing unit 230 for providing route guidance information based on the optimal parking location Respectively.

In addition, the navigation service apparatus 200 may further include a data storage unit 240 for storing basic map data information necessary for providing a navigation service and building-related information related to buildings displayed in the map data information in advance .

That is, in the present invention, when there is building-related information related to each building displayed in the map data information, the building-related information is mapped and stored in each building.

In the case where the building-related information is present in the map data information, the location information and the building-related information of the building are mapped and stored. If there is no building-related information displayed in the map data information, Only the location information can be stored.

Here, the building-related information includes location information corresponding to shops in the destination building, information related to the parking lot (e.g., a parking map, the number of parking lots, parking indication), and internal facility information (e.g., elevator, escalator, Map, and the like) in the indoor map (InDoorMap).

All or at least a part of the configuration of the navigation service apparatus 200 including the above information confirmation unit 210, the route setting unit 220, the route providing unit 230 and the data storage unit 240 is executed by the processor May be implemented in the form of a software module or a hardware module, or a combination of a software module and a hardware module.

As a result, the navigation service apparatus 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention provides an external route for guiding to the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building, and also provides an optimal route from the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building, It is possible to provide route guidance information at a specific location of the destination building which is desired to be visited more quickly and accurately. Hereinafter, detailed description will be given of each configuration in the navigation service apparatus 200 .

When the destination search word is received from the terminal device 100, the information verification unit 210 confirms the location of the destination building corresponding to the destination search word.

More specifically, the information verification unit 210 detects the location information of the destination building corresponding to the destination search word received from the terminal device 100 from the pre-stored map data information.

Then, the information verification unit 210 generates an information confirmation result that confirms whether or not the building-related information is mapped to the location information of the destination building, and transmits the information confirmation result to the path setting unit 220.

That is, if the building-related information is mapped to the location information of the destination building, the information verification unit 210 detects the building-related information mapped with the location information of the destination building and includes the location information of the destination building and the building- To generate the information confirmation result. Then, the information verification unit 210 transmits the information confirmation result to the path setting unit 220. [

On the other hand, if the building-related information is not mapped to the location information of the destination building, the information verification unit 210 detects the location information of the destination building. Then, the information verification unit 210 generates an information confirmation result including the location information of the destination building, and transmits the information confirmation result to the route setting unit 220.

The path setting unit 220 sets the path information based on the information check result received from the information checking unit 210. [

In other words, the route setting unit 220 determines whether or not the vehicle is actually traveling from the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building to the outside route that leads to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the result of checking whether the building- And route information including at least one of an internal route guiding the desired specific location and an optimal parking position closest to the desired location.

More specifically, the route setting unit 220 confirms whether or not the building-related information is included in the information confirmation result received from the information verification unit 210. [

That is, when only the location information of the destination building is detected from the information confirmation result, the route setting unit 220 determines that the building-related information mapped to the location information of the destination building does not exist.

In this way, only the location information of the destination building is detected because the destination building is likely to be a small-sized building rather than a large-sized building having a large parking lot entrance where there are many parking lots entering the building. You will be able to reach the entrance of the parking lot of the building.

Accordingly, the route setting unit 220 sets an external route for guiding the vehicle to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building.

For example, when there is no building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route setting unit 220 sets the route from the current location ST of the vehicle to the parking entrance 510 of the destination building 500 Only the external path P1 for guidance is set.

On the other hand, when the location information of the destination building and the building-related information are detected from the information confirmation result, the route setting unit 220 determines that the building-related information mapped to the location information of the destination building exists.

As such, the destination building is a large building with a lot of parking lots entering the building and a large number of entrance to the building. Since it is easy to acquire building-related information, the external route that leads to the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building, It is possible to guide the vehicle to the optimum parking position.

That is, the route setting unit 220 sets an external route for guiding to the parking lot entrance of the destination building on the basis of the location information of the destination building, and also sets an optimum route from the parking lot entrance of the destination building to the nearest The internal route to the parking position is set together.

At this time, setting the external path is the same as setting the external path in FIG. 5 described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, a method of setting the internal path will be described in more detail.

More specifically, for example, when there is information related to a building mapped to a destination building, the route setting unit 220 sets the route from the current location ST of the vehicle to the parking entrance of the destination building 500 (P1) for guiding the user to the user terminal (510). At the same time, the route setting unit 220 uses the building-related information to determine the location of the inside of the destination building (DT) from the plurality of parking locations 520 _{1 -} 520 _n to the optimal parking location 520 ₁ And sets the path P2. In the present invention, it will be described that the parking position 520 ₁ among the plurality of parking positions 520 ₁ -520 _n is the optimal parking position.

Here, the optimum parking position is determined by checking various various inner navigation paths that can reach the specific location DT from the parking entrance 510 of the destination building using the building-related information, Position. It is preferable to confirm whether or not another vehicle is parked in the parking position in the process of confirming the internal search route.

That is, the route setting unit 220 identifies various internal search paths that can reach the specific location DT after the user of the terminal device 100 enters the parking lot using the building-related information.

At this time, the various inner search paths are paths that reach a specific location DT from the parking lot of the destination building, that is, from a plurality of parking locations 520 _{1 -} 520 _n using an internal facility such as an elevator, an escalator, An internal navigation route using an elevator, an internal navigation route using an escalator, and an internal navigation route using a stairway.

Thereafter, the path setting unit 220 sequentially detects an internal search path in which the < moving distance is the shortest distance > or the < inner facility and the shortest distance & .

At this time, the sorting criterion of the inner search path as described above is preferably selected by the user in advance, but may be automatically sorted according to the sorting criterion of the navigation service device 200 itself. Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the sorting criterion of the inner search path is preselected by the user.

Then, the path setting unit 220 selects the uppermost inner search path among the inner search paths arranged in order.

If the user of the terminal device 100 selects the sorting criterion as &quot; the shortest distance to the moving distance &quot;, the path setting unit 220 determines that the moving distance is the shortest distance, Select the search path. Here, the movement distance is the shortest distance means that the actual distance on the path for reaching the specific position DT is the shortest, and it may be considered that the layer movement is small.

For example, when the moving distance of the inner searching route is arranged in the order of the inner searching route using the elevator, the inner searching route using the escalator, and the inner searching route using the stairs, the route setting unit 220 sets, An inner search path using an elevator which is a top inner search path among the inner search paths using a stair, and an inner search path using an escalator are selected.

That is, the route setting unit 220 selects the internal search route using the elevator by confirming that the shortest distance to the specific location DT is the internal search route using the elevator using the building-related information.

Thereafter, the route setting unit 220 is included in the selected parking position inside the search path (520 ₁₎ of a plurality of parking positions (520 ₁ -520 _n) of a specific location (DT) and the movement distance is the shortest parking position And detects the parking position 520 ₁ as the optimum parking position.

On the other hand, when the user of the terminal apparatus 100 selects the sorting criterion as < inner facility and the shortest distance &quot;, the path setting unit 220 sets the uppermost inner Select the search path.

For example, if the internal navigation path for moving to the specific location DT and the internal navigation route in the shortest distance are arranged in the order of the internal navigation route using the escalator, the internal navigation route using the elevator, and the internal navigation route using the stairs , The path setting unit 220 selects an internal search path using an escalator, an inner search path using an escalator, an inner search path using an elevator, and an inner search path using a stair, which is the highest inner search path.

That is, the route setting unit 220 selects the internal search route using the escalator by confirming that the boarding position of the escalator is the closest among the various internal facilities for moving to the specific position DT by using the building-related information.

Thereafter, the route setting unit 220 is included in the selected parking position inside the search path (520 ₁₎ of a plurality of parking positions (520 ₁ -520 _n) of a specific location (DT) and the movement distance is the shortest parking position And detects the parking position 520 ₁ as the optimum parking position.

As described above, when the optimal parking position 520 ₁ is determined according to the sorting criterion selected by the user, the path setting unit 220 can set the internal path P2 including the optimal parking position 520 ₁ .

In the present invention, it is assumed that the sorting criterion is <the shortest distance traveled> or <the shortest distance> between the internal search routes using various internal facilities (eg, elevator, escalator, It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the optimal parking position can be detected by applying the same sorting criterion even in the case of an internal search path limited to only using a certain internal facility (e.g., an elevator).

The route providing unit 230 receives the route information from the route setting unit 220 and generates the route guidance information based on the route information.

More specifically, when there is no building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route providing unit 230 may be configured to guide the route building unit 220 from the route setting unit 220 to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building And receives an external path.

Then, the route providing unit 230 generates route guidance information including an external route, and transmits the generated route guidance information to the terminal device 100.

On the other hand, when there is the building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route providing unit 230 transmits an external route for guiding from the route setting unit 220 to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building , Receives the internal route from the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building to a specific location where the user actually wants to visit and the optimal parking position closest to the destination.

Then, the route providing unit 230 generates route guidance information including an external route and an internal route, and transmits the generated route guidance information to the terminal device 100.

If another vehicle is parked at the optimal parking position closest to the specific position during the generation of the guidance information, it is possible to re-determine and provide the adjacent optimal parking positions in the next highest order among the highest inner navigation routes, The optimal parking position closest to the specific position may be re-determined and provided.

[

When the destination search word is received from the terminal device 100 connected through the communication device 2310, the information verification unit 210 confirms the location of the destination building corresponding to the destination search word.

More specifically, the information verification unit 210 detects the location information of the destination building corresponding to the destination search word received from the terminal device 100 via the communication device 2310 from the pre-stored map data information.

Then, the information verification unit 210 generates an information confirmation result that confirms whether or not the building-related information is mapped to the location information of the destination building, and transmits the information confirmation result to the path setting unit 220.

That is, if the building-related information is mapped to the location information of the destination building, the information verification unit 210 detects the building-related information mapped with the location information of the destination building and includes the location information of the destination building and the building- To generate the information confirmation result. Then, the information verification unit 210 transmits the information confirmation result to the path setting unit 220. [

On the other hand, if the building-related information is not mapped to the location information of the destination building, the information verification unit 210 detects the location information of the destination building. Then, the information verification unit 210 generates an information confirmation result including the location information of the destination building, and transmits the information confirmation result to the route setting unit 220.

The path setting unit 220 sets the path information based on the information check result received from the information checking unit 210. [

In other words, the route setting unit 220 determines whether or not the vehicle is actually traveling from the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building to the outside route that leads to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the result of checking whether the building- And route information including at least one of an internal route guiding the desired specific location and an optimal parking position closest to the desired location.

More specifically, the route setting unit 220 confirms whether or not the building-related information is included in the information confirmation result received from the information verification unit 210. [

That is, when only the location information of the destination building is detected from the information confirmation result, the route setting unit 220 determines that the building-related information mapped to the location information of the destination building does not exist.

In this way, only the location information of the destination building is detected because the destination building is likely to be a small-sized building rather than a large-sized building having a large parking lot entrance where there are many parking lots entering the building. You will be able to reach the entrance of the parking lot of the building.

Accordingly, the route setting unit 220 sets an external route for guiding the vehicle to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building.

For example, when there is no building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route setting unit 220 sets the route from the current location ST of the vehicle to the parking entrance 510 of the destination building 500 Only the external path P1 for guidance is set.

On the other hand, when the location information of the destination building and the building-related information are detected from the information confirmation result, the route setting unit 220 determines that the building-related information mapped to the location information of the destination building exists.

As such, the destination building is a large building with a lot of parking lots entering the building and a large number of entrance to the building. Since it is easy to acquire building-related information, the external route that leads to the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building, It is possible to guide the vehicle to the optimum parking position.

That is, the route setting unit 220 sets an external route for guiding to the parking lot entrance of the destination building on the basis of the location information of the destination building, and also sets an optimum route from the parking lot entrance of the destination building to the nearest The internal route to the parking position is set together.

At this time, setting the external path is the same as setting the external path in FIG. 5 described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, a method of setting the internal path will be described in more detail.

More specifically, for example, when there is information related to a building mapped to a destination building, the route setting unit 220 sets the route from the current location ST of the vehicle to the parking entrance of the destination building 500 (P1) for guiding the user to the user terminal (510). At the same time, the route setting unit 220 uses the building-related information to determine the location of the inside of the destination building (DT) from the plurality of parking locations 520 _{1 -} 520 _n to the optimal parking location 520 ₁ And sets the path P2. In the present invention, it will be described that the parking position 520 ₁ among the plurality of parking positions 520 ₁ -520 _n is the optimal parking position.

Here, the optimum parking position is determined by checking various various inner navigation paths that can reach the specific location DT from the parking entrance 510 of the destination building using the building-related information, Position. It is preferable to confirm whether or not another vehicle is parked in the parking position in the process of confirming the internal search route.

That is, the route setting unit 220 identifies various internal search paths that can reach the specific location DT after the user of the terminal device 100 enters the parking lot using the building-related information.

At this time, the various inner search paths are paths that reach a specific location DT from the parking lot of the destination building, that is, from a plurality of parking locations 520 _{1 -} 520 _n using an internal facility such as an elevator, an escalator, An internal navigation route using an elevator, an internal navigation route using an escalator, and an internal navigation route using a stairway.

Thereafter, the path setting unit 220 sequentially detects an internal search path in which the < moving distance is the shortest distance > or the < inner facility and the shortest distance & .

At this time, the sorting criterion of the inner search path as described above is preferably selected by the user in advance, but may be automatically sorted according to the sorting criterion of the navigation service device 200 itself. Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the sorting criterion of the inner search path is preselected by the user.

Then, the path setting unit 220 selects the uppermost inner search path among the inner search paths arranged in order.

If the user of the terminal device 100 selects and provides (inputs) the sorting criterion through the communication device 2310 as having the shortest moving distance, the path setting unit 220 determines that the moving distance is the shortest Selects the top inner navigation path among the inner navigation paths arranged in order of distance. Here, the movement distance is the shortest distance means that the actual distance on the path for reaching the specific position DT is the shortest, and it may be considered that the layer movement is small.

For example, when the moving distance of the inner searching route is arranged in the order of the inner searching route using the elevator, the inner searching route using the escalator, and the inner searching route using the stairs, the route setting unit 220 sets, An inner search path using an elevator which is a top inner search path among the inner search paths using a stair, and an inner search path using an escalator are selected.

That is, the route setting unit 220 selects the internal search route using the elevator by confirming that the shortest distance to the specific location DT is the internal search route using the elevator using the building-related information.

Thereafter, the route setting unit 220 is included in the selected parking position inside the search path (520 ₁₎ of a plurality of parking positions (520 ₁ -520 _n) of a specific location (DT) and the movement distance is the shortest parking position And detects the parking position 520 ₁ as the optimum parking position.

On the other hand, when the user of the terminal apparatus 100 selects the sorting criterion as < inner facility and the shortest distance &quot;, the path setting unit 220 sets the uppermost inner Select the search path.

For example, if the internal navigation path for moving to the specific location DT and the internal navigation route in the shortest distance are arranged in the order of the internal navigation route using the escalator, the internal navigation route using the elevator, and the internal navigation route using the stairs , The path setting unit 220 selects an internal search path using an escalator, an inner search path using an escalator, an inner search path using an elevator, and an inner search path using a stair, which is the highest inner search path.

That is, the route setting unit 220 selects the internal search route using the escalator by confirming that the boarding position of the escalator is the closest among the various internal facilities for moving to the specific position DT by using the building-related information.

Thereafter, the route setting unit 220 is included in the selected parking position inside the search path (520 ₁₎ of a plurality of parking positions (520 ₁ -520 _n) of a specific location (DT) and the movement distance is the shortest parking position And detects the parking position 520 ₁ as the optimum parking position.

As described above, when the optimal parking position 520 ₁ is determined according to the sorting criterion selected by the user, the path setting unit 220 can set the internal path P2 including the optimal parking position 520 ₁ .

In the present invention, it is assumed that the sorting criterion is <the shortest distance traveled> or <the shortest distance> between the internal search routes using various internal facilities (eg, elevator, escalator, It is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the optimal parking position can be detected by applying the same sorting criterion even in the case of an internal search path limited to only using a certain internal facility (e.g., an elevator).

The route providing unit 230 receives the route information from the route setting unit 220 and generates the route guidance information based on the route information.

More specifically, when there is no building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route providing unit 230 may be configured to guide the route building unit 220 from the route setting unit 220 to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building And receives an external path.

On the other hand, when there is the building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route providing unit 230 transmits an external route for guiding from the route setting unit 220 to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building , Receives the internal route from the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building to a specific location where the user actually wants to visit and the optimal parking position closest to the destination.

Then, the route providing unit 230 generates route guidance information including an external route and an internal route, and transmits the route guidance information to the terminal device 100 via the communication device 2310. [

If another vehicle is parked at the optimal parking position closest to the specific position during the generation of the guidance information, it is possible to re-determine and provide the adjacent optimal parking positions in the next highest order among the highest inner navigation routes, The optimal parking position closest to the specific position may be re-determined and provided.

As described above, according to the navigation service apparatus 200 and the hardware system 2000 for implementing the navigation service according to an embodiment of the present invention, when an external route to a destination building is guided, It is possible to minimize the time wasted due to the parking by providing the internal route for guiding the optimal parking position based on the specific location to be visited and to improve the accessibility to the specific location to be visited in the destination building, The effect of diversifying the service utilization can be derived.

Hereinafter, an operation flow in the navigation service apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, the information checking unit 210 of the navigation service apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a destination search word from the terminal device 100 (S100).

Then, the information verification unit 210 confirms the location of the destination building corresponding to the destination search word. That is, the information verification unit 210 detects the location information of the destination building corresponding to the destination search word received from the terminal device 100 from the stored map data information (S110).

Then, the information verification unit 210 transmits the information confirmation result to the path setting unit 220. [

On the other hand, if the building-related information is not mapped to the location information of the destination building, the information verification unit 210 detects the location information of the destination building. Then, the information verification unit 210 generates an information confirmation result including the location information of the destination building, and transmits the information confirmation result to the route setting unit 220.

The path setting unit 220 sets the path information based on the information check result received from the information checking unit 210. [

In other words, the route setting unit 220 determines whether or not the vehicle is actually traveling from the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building to the outside route that leads to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the result of checking whether the building- And route information including at least one of an internal route guiding the desired specific location and an optimal parking position closest to the desired location.

More specifically, the route setting unit 220 confirms whether or not the building-related information is included in the information confirmation result received from the information verification unit 210 (S120).

As a result of the determination in step S120, when only the location information of the destination building is detected from the information confirmation result, the route setting unit 220 determines that the building-related information mapped to the location information of the destination building does not exist.

In this way, only the location information of the destination building is detected because the destination building is likely to be a small-sized building rather than a large-sized building having a large parking lot entrance where there are many parking lots entering the building. You will be able to reach the entrance of the parking lot of the building.

The route setting unit 220 sets an external route for guiding the vehicle to the parking lot entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building (S130).

For example, when there is no building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route setting unit 220 sets the route from the current location ST of the vehicle to the parking entrance 510 of the destination building 500 Only the external path P1 for guidance is set.

When the path information is set in accordance with the above-described procedure, the path providing unit 230 receives the path information from the path setting unit 220, and generates the path guide information based on the path information.

More specifically, when there is no building-related information mapped to the destination building, the route providing unit 230 may be configured to guide the route building unit 220 from the route setting unit 220 to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building And receives an external path.

As a result of the determination in step S120, when the location information of the destination building and the building-related information are detected from the information confirmation result, the route setting unit 220 determines that the building-related information mapped to the location information of the destination building exists .

As such, the destination building is a large building with a lot of parking lots entering the building and a large number of entrance to the building. Since it is easy to acquire building-related information, the external route that leads to the entrance of the parking lot of the destination building, It is possible to guide the vehicle to the optimum parking position.

More specifically, the route setting unit 220 sets an external route for guiding the destination building to the parking entrance of the destination building based on the location information of the destination building, and at the same time, The internal routes to the adjacent optimal parking positions are set together (S150-170).

In this case, the setting of the external route is the same as that of setting the external route in FIG. 5 described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, a method of detecting the optimal parking position and setting the internal route will be described in more detail.

Thereafter, the path setting unit 220 sequentially detects an internal search path in which the < moving distance is the shortest distance > or the < inner facility and the shortest distance & .

At this time, the sorting criterion of the inner search path as described above is preferably selected by the user in advance, but may be automatically sorted according to the sorting criterion of the navigation service device 200 itself. Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the sorting criterion of the inner search path is preselected by the user.

That is, the route setting unit 220 selects the internal search route using the escalator by confirming that the boarding position of the escalator is the closest among the various internal facilities for moving to the specific position DT by using the building-related information.

Thereafter, the route setting unit 220 is included in the selected parking position inside the search path (520 ₁₎ of a plurality of parking positions (520 ₁ -520 _n) of a specific location (DT) and the movement distance is the shortest parking position And detects the parking position 520 ₁ as the optimum parking position.

As described above, when the optimal parking position 520 ₁ is determined according to the sorting criterion selected by the user, the path setting unit 220 can set the internal path P2 including the optimal parking position 520 ₁ .
