The system and method for providing a baggage delivery service using short range wireless communication according to the present invention have the following effects.

First, according to the itinerary of a traveler, baggage such as a suitcase can be delivered to the next destination, allowing the traveler to freely tour, shop and move freely without having to carry heavy loads.

Of course, there will be worries about having to pay the shipping cost, but in the present invention, the shipping cost can be freely provided to the traveler from the cost sharing of the affiliated company. That is, in order to use the baggage delivery service using the short-range wireless communication according to the present invention, a traveler must purchase a beacon accessory and make a delivery request using a dedicated application. With a dedicated application, you can make reservations and payments for accommodation, sightseeing spots, restaurants, public transportation, rental cars and shopping malls, and expose your ads while providing various travel information. Therefore, some of the cost of purchasing a beacon accessory, some of the contribution from a partner such as a lodging facility or a restaurant, and a portion of the advertisement fee should be covered by the shipping cost. Therefore, This can significantly increase service utilization.

In addition, since the beacon accessory mounted on the baggage is used, the delivery request for the specific baggage is easy, and the real-time delivery status can be confirmed. Especially, in case of checking baggage position, it is a method of confirming that communication with beacon accessories is performed in real time through a sender terminal rather than using past information that the sender simply inputs, and thus the accuracy of position is very high.

In addition, beacon accessories mounted on baggage are not only used for requests for delivery, registration and tracking, but can also be used for theft and loss prevention functions in normal times. That is, if a beacon accessory is paired with a traveler terminal after wearing a travel bag, a notebook, a camera, a purse, a passport, etc., the distance of each bag can be detected through a dedicated application of the tourist terminal, By immediately generating a warning, it is possible to prevent a lost or stolen situation in advance.

Particularly, the beacon accessories applied in the present invention are made detachable from the baggage, and power is supplied only when the beacon is correctly worn, thereby intentionally deviating from the apparatus. In other words, since the conventional Bluetooth device simply puts the device in the bag, it is impossible for the person with impure intention to take out only the Bluetooth device and take out the baggage, If it is properly worn, it can not be removed from the baggage. If the body is detached or damaged intentionally to remove only the beacon accessories and only carry the baggage, the alarm can be generated at the tourist terminal due to the power supply cut off.

Further, the position of the baggage (more specifically, the position of the traveler terminal receiving the signal of the beacon accessory mounted on the baggage) is stored in the traveler terminal or the baggage delivery service providing system. When an event occurs, By outputting to the terminal, it is possible to trace back the baggage from the final position where theft or loss occurred, thereby increasing the possibility of recovering lost goods.

Meanwhile, the baggage delivery service according to the present invention treats the baggage delivery between the hostel and the accommodation as a basic service, but it is also possible to leave the baggage in the unmanned storage box and request delivery to a desired destination. In other words, after storing baggage with beacon accessories in a storage box installed at an airport, a train station, a subway station, a bus terminal, a sightseeing spot or a shopping mall, and requesting delivery through a dedicated application of a tourist terminal, only a legitimate sender opens the storage lid, This allows safe storage and delivery of baggage. Of course, some of the library fees may be covered by shipping costs.

In order to use the baggage delivery service according to the present invention, it is desirable to purchase a beacon accessory before the start of the travel schedule. However, even if the beacon accessory is not yet prepared, the user can conveniently purchase the beacon accessory You can register. Of course, if you book your accommodation or transportation in advance through a dedicated application, you can conveniently manage your itinerary, but even if you purchase a beacon accessory later and install a dedicated application, you may be prompted to enter your itinerary Is very accessible.

The storage unit 110 includes a main body 111, a cover 112, a short range communication unit 113, a remote communication unit 114, a control unit 115, and a locking unit 116.

The main body 111 has a predetermined internal space to accommodate relatively large baggage 60 such as a suitcase and the opening can be opened and closed through the cover 112. [ In the cover 112, the address, number and identification information of the storage box 110 are shown.

The main body 111 transmits and receives signals to and from the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 by a Bluetooth communication system or transmits signals to the traveler terminal 20 or the receiver terminal 70, And a local communication unit 113 capable of transmitting and receiving data. A remote communication unit 114 for transmitting information on the recognized beacon accessories 30 and 40 to the central server 100 or receiving authentication information from the central server 100 is also provided.

The control unit 115 controls the locking unit 116 according to the information received through the remote communication unit 114 and the terminal 20 and 70 information confirmed through the local communication unit 113 so that only a legitimate user can control the locking unit 116, So that the baggage 60 can be drawn out.

The location information and the identification number of the storage box 110 are stored in the database 108 of the central server 100. When there is a request from the traveler terminal 20 or the distributor terminal 70, . Of course, the location information or identification information for the vending machine 120 may be provided in the same manner.

The function of each configuration in the baggage delivery service providing system according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be further clarified through a description of the method for providing the baggage delivery service, which will be described with reference to FIG. 5 to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of purchasing beacon accessories 30 and 40 and registering baggage 60 in a method for providing a baggage delivery service using short-distance wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If the traveler who owns the tourist terminal 20 requests the beacon purchase through the vending machine 120 installed in the accommodation facility or the main sightseeing spot, the vending machine 120 requests the payment to the central server 100, S510>, the central server 100 may process the payment through a predetermined procedure, and then notify the payment approval to the traveler terminal 20 and the vending machine 120 <S515>. The vending machine 120 notified of the payment approval can discharge the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in the selected type and number range, and the traveler can obtain it.

The process of purchasing the beacon accessories 30, 40 is very diverse. That is, when a traveler approaches the automatic vending machine 120 and requests cash or credit card settlement through the payment means provided in the automatic vending machine 120 as in the present embodiment, the central server 100 The beacon accessories 30 and 40 may be discharged according to the result of the payment process or the traveler may purchase the beacon accessories 30 and 40 at the off-site store, or the traveler terminal 20 The O2O system in which only the physical beacon accessories 30 and 40 are acquired by the adjacent automatic vending machine 120 after completing the purchase request and payment processing of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 through the exclusive application of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 may be used. Also, since the vending machine 120 charges the power of the beacon accessories 30 and 40, the traveler can use the beacon accessories 30 and 40 at the same time. Of course, once purchased beacon accessories 30 and 40 can be reused via wireless charging. In addition, the vending machine 120 can check the inventory of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in real time, and request a certain amount of orders to the central server 100 side.

After purchasing the beacon accessories 30 and 40, the traveler can request a dedicated application (S525) by accessing the central server 100 through the traveler terminal 20, and the application manager 102 of the central server 100 S530> in connection with the communication unit 101 to provide the exclusive application to the tourist terminal 20, the tourist terminal 20 can receive and install the exclusive application in step S535. In the installation process of the dedicated application, additional procedures such as agreement of providing location information can be additionally performed. Of course, a dedicated application may already be installed in the traveler terminal 20 before the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are purchased.

After that, the traveler wears the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in a manner suitable for each baggage 60 (suitcase, notebook, camera, etc.) and the passport 50 to generate a beacon signal (S540).

When the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are mounted on each baggage 60 (including the passport 50) and a beacon signal is being generated, the traveler drives the dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20 to activate the beacon accessories 30, 40, and sets up the pairing with the detected beacon accessories 30, 40 (S545). That is, the Bluetooth module 21 detects a beacon signal that can be received and performs pairing. In this process, the user can set a name for each beacon accessory 30, 40 having a unique ID through a dedicated application. For example, the list is set by the name of the travel bag, the camera, the passport 50, etc. according to the beacon ID, and the set beacon information (baggage information in which the beacon ID and the baggage name are matched and stored) is stored in the memory 23 And transmitted to the central server 100 (S555). In the central server 100, the received beacon information (baggage information) is stored in the database 108 so that the beacon information can be utilized at a later delivery request or used for real time location tracking.

Meanwhile, the process of pairing with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 using the detected beacon signal selects the specific beacon accessories 30 and 40 detected through the user interface displayed on the screen through the dedicated application, However, it is also possible to perform the pairing automatically by photographing the bar code or QR code printed on the beacon accessories 30 and 40 with the camera of the traveler terminal 20 have. The technique of automatically connecting the device by shooting a bar code or QR code is well known, so a detailed explanation is omitted.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. That is, the baggage delivery service provided in the present invention basically delivers the baggage 60 with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 according to the travel schedule. However, when the traveler carries the baggage 60 directly, And performs the function of preventing loss and theft through the strength of the power.

It is possible to set the separation allowable distance for each baggage 60 (per beacon accessories 30, 40) separately from the process of setting the baggage list for each beacon (S550) in the process of FIG. 5 (S605). For example, the travel bag is set at 20 m, and the passport 50 is set at 10 m. The set information is stored in the memory 23 and may be provided to the central server 100, if necessary.

The beacon accessories 30 and 40 applied to the present invention are detachably mounted on the baggage 60. When the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are normally mounted, power is automatically supplied to generate a beacon signal. Of course, when the mounting is released, the power supply is automatically released. The beacon accessories 30 and 40 will be described first with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view for explaining an example of the clip-type beacon accessory 30, and FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the clip-type beacon accessory 30 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the clip-type beacon accessory 30 mainly includes an upper body 31, a lower body 37, and a connection ring 35.

A signal generator 32 and a battery 33 are installed inside the upper body 31 and the connection ring 35 is elongated from one side of the upper body 31 to be connected to one side of the lower body 37 do.

The signal generator 32 generates a short-range wireless communication signal having a unique ID, and the battery 33 is provided to supply power to the signal generator 32. More specifically, the signal generating unit 32 generates a beacon signal.

A beacon is any technology or device that periodically transmits a signal to signal something in the traditional sense. The beacon may be classified into a sound-based low frequency beacon, an LED beacon, a Wi-Fi beacon, and a Bluetooth beacon according to a method of transmitting a signal. In this embodiment, It is assumed that a beacon capable of communicating with the signal generating unit 32 is used.

8, the upper part of the signal generating part 32 is connected to the first electrode 33a of the battery 33 and the lower part of the signal generating part 32 is connected to the first electrode part 34a of the lower part of the upper body 31.

The first electrode portion 34a is exposed in the depression 34 and the stopper 34b is formed around the depression 34. The depression 34 is formed in the lower portion of the upper body 31, Respectively.

The second electrode 33b of the battery 33 is connected to the lower body 37 along a power supply connection line 36 extending inside the connection loop 35.

A protrusion 38 corresponding to the depression 34 of the upper body 31 is provided on the upper portion of the lower body 37. The second electrode 38a is exposed to the protrusion 38, The two-electrode portion 38a is connected to the second electrode 33b of the battery 33 located in the upper body 31 along the power connection line 36. [ A step 38b is formed around the projecting portion 38 of the lower body 37.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the upper body 31 and the lower body 37 are separated from each other, no power is supplied to the signal generating unit 32, and no beacon signal is generated.

However, when the user inserts the upper body 31 or the lower body 37 into the handle of the travel bag or the wrist strap of the camera in the clip-type beacon accessory 30 shown in Fig. 8, The first electrode portion 34a and the second electrode portion 38a are brought into close contact with each other and the electrical connection is completed when the protrusion 38 of the upper body 37 is inserted into the lower body 37 The first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b of the battery 33 can be connected to the first and second electrodes 32 and 32, respectively. At this time, since the step 38b formed on the projection 38 is caught by the engagement step 34b of the depression 34, the projection 38 is not easily separated from the depression 34. [

The beacon signal is generated in the signal generating unit 32 by the combination of the upper body 31 and the lower body 37 so that the traveler 20 can track the baggage 60 (track a beacon signal) .

However, the beacon accessory 30 mounted on the baggage 60 having a malicious intention may be detached and only the baggage 60 is taken away. In this case, the connection ring 35 must be disconnected or the upper body 31 and the lower body 37 must be separated. At this time, when the connection loop 35 is disconnected, the power supply connection line 36 is disconnected, so that the beacon signal generation is blocked in the signal generation unit 32, and an event is generated in the tourist terminal 20.

7 to 8 illustrate that both the signal generating unit 32 and the battery 33 are mounted on the upper body 31. In the upper body 31 of the clip type beacon accessory 30, It is also possible that only the battery 32 is located and the battery 33 is placed in the lower body 37 and power supply is possible only when the battery 33 is connected to each other. It is also possible to change the positions of the depressed portion 34 and the protruding portion 38. In addition to the shape of the depressed portion 34 and the protruding portion 38 shown in the drawings, It is quite possible that another structure is applied.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view for explaining another example of the beacon accessory 40, and FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the beacon accessory 40 shown in FIG. The beacon accessories 40 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 are made in a card shape, and the specific principle is similar to the clip-type beacon accessories 30 shown in Figs.

A portion of the card-shaped bodies 41 and 48 is cut into a 'C' shape to form a slit 46. For convenience, the outside of the slit 46 is referred to as a main body 41 and the inside of the slit 46 And is referred to as a fitting body 48.

The main body 41 has a signal generating unit 42 and a battery 43 built therein. The description of the signal generating section 42 and the battery 43 will be replaced with the description of the clip-type beacon accessory 30 shown in Figs.

In addition, the main body 41 is formed with an extension 44 having a predetermined length in the direction of the fitting body 48. That is, the fitting body 48 covers the extension portion 44.

Referring to FIG. 10, a portion where the fitting body 48 and the extending portion 44 face each other is made of a physical / electrical connection structure. That is, the upper portion of the extended portion 44 is formed with a depressed portion 45 having a peripheral stepped boss 45b, and the first electrode portion 45a is exposed in the depressed portion 45. A projection 49 having a step 49b is formed on the bottom of the fitting body 48 and the second electrode 49a is exposed on the projection 49. [

The first electrode portion 45a of the depression 45 is connected to the signal generating portion 42 and the first electrode 43 of the battery 43 along the power connection line 47 in the main body 41. [ And the second electrode portion 49a of the protrusion 49 is connected to the second electrode 43a of the battery 43 along the power connection line 47 inside the main body 41. [ 43b.

9 and 10, the main body 41 (including the extension 44) and the fitting body 48 of the card-shaped beacon accessory 40 are each provided with the clip-shaped beacon accessory 30 shown in FIG. 7 Shaped beacon accessory 40 corresponds to an upper body and a lower body of the card type beacon accessory 40. In the card type beacon accessory 40, the main body 41 and the fitting body 48 And a power supply connection line 47 is extended therein.

The card-type beacon accessory 40 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 is intended to be mounted on a booklet-type personal belongings such as a passport 50 or the like. The cover or the cover of the passport 50 is inserted between the insertion body 48 and the extension 44 and then the projection body 49 of the lower portion of the insertion body 48 is pressed by the passport 50 when the insertion body 48 is pressed. And then inserted into the depressed portion 45 of the extended portion 44 after penetrating through the mark or the like. The card type beacon accessory 40 is firmly coupled to the passport 50 and does not come off and at the same time the first electrode portion 45a of the depression 45 and the second electrode portion 49a of the protrusion 49 The electric power is supplied to the signal generating unit 42 and the passport 50 can be monitored through the tourist terminal 20. [

Of course, in order to separate the card-type beacon accessory 40 shown in FIGS. 9 to 10 from the passport 50, the fitting body 48 must be removed from the extending portion 44, Warning via the traveler terminal 20 is possible.

Further, since the card-type beacon accessory 40 is small in the size of a general credit card and thin in thickness of about 1 mm, it is not confirmed whether it is mounted in the passport 50 or not in the outside. Thus, a person with impure intent can escape without thinking that the card-type beacon accessory 40 is installed.

Referring to FIG. 6 again, when the pairing with the beacon accessories 30 and 40, the name setting S550, and the separation allowable distance setting S605 are completed, the monitoring unit 24a of the traveler terminal 20 Or whether the specific baggage 60 is out of the set distance based on the intensity of the beacon signal generated at the beacon accessories 30 and 40 at predetermined time intervals. That is, the beacon signal of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 installed in the baggage 60 is received through the Bluetooth module 21, and the current distance is calculated by analyzing the intensity of the signal at the monitoring unit 24a. Then, the calculated distance is compared with the set distance stored in the memory 23, and it is judged whether or not the set distance is exceeded (for example, exceeding 20 m).

In addition, the monitoring unit 24a determines whether there is a device to which the signal is to be blocked among the paired beacon accessories 30 and 40 (S610). 7 to 10, the beacon accessories 30, 40 applied in the present invention can be supplied with power only when the beacon 60 is properly mounted on the baggage 60, so that a beacon signal can be generated, The connection is released, or when the power supply line is disconnected, the power supply is interrupted and the beacon signal can not be generated. That is, the monitoring unit 24a monitors whether the paired beacon accessories 30 and 40 normally generate the beacon signal continuously.

If it is determined through the monitoring unit 24a that the specific beacon accessories 30 and 40 are out of the predetermined range or if the specific beacon accessories 30 and 40 are released from the proper wearing state or are damaged in the baggage 60 If it is determined that the beacon signal is blocked, the event control unit 24b generates an event < S620 > to immediately notify the user that the baggage 60 is suspected to be lost or stolen. For example, the event control unit 24b may generate a warning sound through the speaker 28, generate a vibration to warn the user, or alert the user through the screen output unit 27. Even if the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are detached from the beacon 60 and then the beacon 60 is disconnected from the beacon 60 and the beacon is immediately coupled to the beacon accessories 60 and the normal beacon signal is generated again, Consider handling the event to occur.

In addition, the event control unit 24b stores the location information at the time when the event is generated in the memory 23 (S625), and transmits the location information and the event occurrence information to the central server 100 (S630). That is, the event control unit 24b stores the coordinate information received through the GPS receiving unit 26 at the time of occurrence of the event in the memory 23 and transmits the coordinate information to the central server 100. Of course, the location information stored in the memory 23 or transmitted to the central server 100 can be guided through a map or character through the screen output unit 27 of the tourist terminal 20. [

Thus, the traveler can trace the lost / stolen baggage 60 through the location information output on the screen. That is, since the position information outputted on the screen is the position information at the time of the occurrence of the event, it can be regarded as the final confirmed position of the baggage. Therefore, if you move to that location, you are more likely to find lost items, and if it is stolen, you can increase the possibility of arresting CCTV or witnesses at the location to arrest the perpetrator.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure for providing and booking travel information among the method for providing a baggage delivery service using short-distance wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention. Prior to the description, it is assumed that the central server 100 stores the affiliated accommodation company, sightseeing spot, traffic, restaurant, car rental, delivery company or advertisement information in advance in the database 108.

The trip information operating unit 104 of the central server 100 requests travel information from the travel terminal 20 to the central server 100 by driving the dedicated application to the central server 100, And provides it to the traveler terminal 20 (S1110). The travel information requesting and providing method may be a keyword retrieval method or a tree method in which detailed items for each step are selected while being selected by region or theme. Or may be a method of analyzing member information of a traveler requesting travel information or inputting only a rough travel route and timing, and then recommending optimal travel information by a self-algorithm analysis method of the travel information operating unit 104.

The traveler who has confirmed the travel information can immediately make reservations for accommodation, transportation, sightseeing spot, restaurant, shopping mall, rental car, etc. and request payment <S1115> through the traveler terminal 20. The center server 100 notifies the traveler terminal 20 and the first desk terminal 90 of the completion of the reservation and payment when the reservation and payment request of the traveler terminal 20 is processed and approved <S1120> .

When the travel schedule is established through this procedure, the travel schedule is stored for each member in the database 108 of the central server 100, and the travel schedule can be checked or changed at any time. Of course, reservations and payments may only be entered on a dedicated application after they have already been completed through a different path than the dedicated application covered by the present invention.

On the other hand, if the pairing of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 and the setting of the baggage list have been completed through the traveler terminal 20, it is preferable that the delivery request process for the specific baggage 60 is also performed in a specific section according to the travel schedule Do. In the following, however, it is assumed that a delivery request for a specific baggage 60 is made separately.

FIG. 12 is a map showing an example of a delivery route of the baggage 60 according to the travel schedule. In other words, the example of visiting several countries for a certain period of time, the part located at the beginning and the end of the arrow on the map is the visiting point (80). The point of visit 80 ultimately refers to the starting and destination of the baggage 60, which may be a lodging, a tourist, a train station, or the like. It is also possible to use the delivery service of the baggage 60 between specific visit points 80 and to carry the baggage 60 directly between the other visit points 80 without a delivery service.

13, the traveler who has established the travel schedule through the process of FIG. 11 requests the travel schedule to the central server through the dedicated application installed in the traveler terminal 20, extracts the travel schedule information from the database, . In other words, the examples classified by date and region are shown. When a specific landing point 80 is selected on this screen, detailed information on accommodations reserved in the area can be outputted as shown in FIG. On the detail screen, you can check the address of the accommodation, request a map view, check the reservation schedule, change the reservation, request the delivery of the baggage (60), or check the information of the surrounding tourist places. In addition, when the travel schedule screen is outputted through the dedicated application, the advertisement information can be also exposed.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the present invention relates to a process of requesting the delivery of a specific baggage 60 from a specific accommodation (departure place) to the next accommodation (destination) among all the travel routes reserved through the process of FIG.

First, when the traveler terminal 20 requests the travel schedule information from the central server 100 (S1505), the central server 100 refers to the membership information of the database 108 and performs reservation and settlement according to the procedure of FIG. The traveler's travel schedule information is loaded and provided to the traveler terminal 20 (S1510).

When the traveler who has confirmed the entire travel schedule through the traveler terminal 20 selects a specific section and requests the central server 100 to deliver it (S1515), the travel schedule information included in the delivery request information or stored in the corresponding member information Information of the destination (including ideal time information), information of the baggage to be delivered, beacon ID, and the like are extracted and stored in the database 108, and the delivery request information is provided to the pre-registered shipping company or distributor terminal 70 You can accept delivery requests <S1520>, or you can match the best shipper.

The central server 100 notifies the central server 100 that the delivery request has been successfully received from the shipping company or the determined shipping terminal 70 and the central server 100 notifies the traveler terminal 20 and the first desk terminal (Origin) < S1525 >.

Here, the delivery request may be made in the reservation and payment process for the entire travel schedule according to the process of FIG. 11, but it may be requested or changed in real time while staying in the specific accommodation.

In addition, the central server 100 may allow the specialized delivery personnel to be matched through the pre-established delivery companies, but it is also possible that the travel schedule is partially overlapped and the predetermined delivery charge is paid by the user, One other traveler can be matched to the shipper.

After the delivery request and receipt are completed, the traveler visits the information desk to leave the corresponding place (departure place) according to the travel schedule, and receives the baggage 60 to be delivered <S1535> After recognizing the beacon accessories 30 and 40 attached to the baggage 60, the central server 100 is notified that the baggage 60 to be delivered has been received (S1540). The central server 100 compares the information (beacon ID) of the delivery target baggage 60 included in the delivery request information received in advance with the delivery target baggage information received from the first desk terminal 90 can do.

On the other hand, if the traveler leaves the hotel after leaving the baggage 60 on the information desk, if theft protection function is still being operated on the tourist terminal 20, a theft event may occur unintentionally. Of course, it is possible to manually release the anti-theft function of the baggage 60 by driving a dedicated application of the tourist terminal 20. However, the central server 100 informed of the receipt of the baggage 60 to be delivered 20), it is desirable that the theft prevention function is automatically released (S1545) even if the traveler does not perform any other operation.

After that, the traveler can visit nearby attractions without having to worry about baggage (60) such as a heavy suitcase or enjoy shopping and then move to the next destination.

When the time comes to start the delivery, the shipper terminal 70 visits the accommodation (departure place) and takes over the baggage 60 <S1555>. Then, the beacon accessories 30 and 40 attached to the baggage 60, And notifies the central server 100 that the delivery of the baggage 60 has started (S1560). Of course, the first desk terminal 90 may also notify the central server 100 that the delivery of the baggage 60 is started by handing over the baggage 60 normally to the sender <S1560>. The central server 100 can also notify the traveler terminal 20 of the start of the delivery of the baggage 60 <S1560>.

When the baggage 60 is being delivered by the shipper, the traveler can check that the baggage 60 is being delivered properly. To do this, a dedicated application may be executed to request the central server 100 for the location information of the baggage 60 <S1565>. At this time, the central server 100 may provide the latest updated location information to the traveler's terminal 20 in the baggage 60 information of the database 108. However, in order to increase the accuracy, The recipient terminal 70 requests the beacon accessories 30 and 40 attached to the baggage 60 to request the final position information again in step S1565 and transmits the beacon accessories 30, The position information of the baggage 60 is transmitted in the order of the central server 100 and the traveler terminal 20 in step S1570. Specifically, requesting location information to the beacon accessories 30 and 40 from the sender terminal 70 is a process of confirming whether the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are normally paired with the sender terminal 70 The position information of the baggage 60 provided to the central server 100 and the traveler terminal 20 is transmitted to the receiver terminal 70 when the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are normally paired with the receiver terminal 70 Location information.

That is, in the present embodiment, the location information of the sender terminal 70 is not informed of the location information arbitrarily input by the sender terminal 70, but the location of the sender terminal 70 is confirmed by confirming the communication connection state of the beacon accessories 30, The position of the baggage 60 can always be accurately checked even if no one has to go through a cumbersome input process.

In the conventional courier service, since only the information when the shipper has uploaded the status after recognizing the barcode of the baggage 60 was confirmed, only the past approximate position could be confirmed. However, in the present invention, since the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 are used, if the transmitter terminal 70 and the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are located adjacent to each other, have.

In addition, in the conventional courier service, only the position of the mobile terminal of the courier is tracked, and whether or not the object is lost is unknown. However, in the present embodiment, the position of the beacon accessories 30, It is possible to confirm whether or not the baggage 60 is lost during the delivery of the baggage 60 in real time.

The baggage 60 is handed over to the information desk at step S1575 and the beacon accessory 30 of the baggage 60 handed over at the second desk terminal 95 , 40) to notify that the delivery to the central server 100 has been completed (S1580). Of course, the sender terminal 70 may also notify the central server 100 of the completion of the delivery, and the central server 100 may notify the completion of the delivery to the traveler terminal 20, .

Accordingly, the traveler can enjoy the trip without being burdened with the baggage 60 by going to the accommodation and the accommodation, and after the baggage 60 is found at the next accommodation, the baggage 60 is paired with the beacon accessories 30 and 40, Prevention function can be activated.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a baggage delivery service using a short-range wireless communication according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the present invention relates to a process of requesting the delivery of a specific baggage 60 from a specific storage 110 (departure place) to the next accommodation (destination) among all the travel routes reserved through the process of FIG.

The beacon accessories 30 and 40 are mounted in the main body 111 of the storage box 110 installed at a train station, a shopping mall, a sightseeing spot, or the like, if the traveler feels burdened to carry the baggage 60, The lid 112 is closed and the dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20 is driven to request delivery from the storage 110 (departure place) to the next accommodation (destination) <S1610 You can. The local communication unit 113 of the storage unit 110 recognizes the baggage 60 by connecting the communication channel with the beacon accessory of the received baggage 60 via the Bluetooth communication system, and the remote communication unit 114 recognizes And transmits the information recognized by the server 100 (S1615).

Upon receipt of the baggage 60 identification information from the storage 110 at the central server 100, the traveler terminal 20 compares the information requested to be delivered and completes registration of the delivery request (S1620). That is, whether or not the identification number of the storage 110 input from the traveler terminal 20 matches the beacon ID. When the registration of the delivery request is completed normally, the control unit 115 of the storage unit 110 notifies the storage unit 110 of the storage unit 110 and the locking unit 116 is controlled according to the completion of the normal delivery request registration, S1630 &gt; The cover 112 can be unlocked only when the traveler terminal 20 that has left the baggage 60 or the delivery terminal 70 that has been assigned the delivery service approaches the predetermined authentication procedure.

In addition, when the baggage loading procedure is completed in the storage 110, the central server 100 instructs the tourist terminal 20 to release the theft prevention function to release theft prevention function for the baggage 60 <S1635> . This allows the traveler to travel to the next hostel (destination) after enjoying sightseeing or shopping without the burden of baggage 60.

Thereafter, the central server 100 stores the delivery request information in the database 108 and provides the delivery request to the pre-registered shipping company or the delivery terminal 70 (S1640) to accept the delivery request (S1640) .

The central server 100 notifies the traveler terminal 20 and the storage box 110 that the delivery request has been successfully received from the shipping company or the determined shipping terminal 70 to the central server 100. [ (Departure place) <S1650>.

When the shipper terminal 70 requests the acquisition of the baggage 60 by the central server 100 after visiting the storage 110 (departure place) (S1655), it recognizes the approach of the shipper terminal 70 in the storage box 110 (S1660), and the control unit 115 operates the locking unit 116 to release the lock (S1665). In other words, the lock is released only when the authenticated sender terminal 70 is approached. In the method of recognizing the approach of the sender terminal 70, the local communication unit 113 transmits, Or the identification information printed on the surface of the cover 112 of the storage box 110 may be photographed or inputted by the sender terminal 70 and transmitted to the central server 100 Or may be a method of notifying the control unit 115 of the storage box 110 of the authentication.

After the lid 112 of the storage box 110 is opened, if the receiver takes over the baggage 60 <S1670>, it recognizes the beacon accessories 30 and 40 attached to the baggage 60 and starts to deliver the baggage 60 And notifies the central server 100 (S1675). Of course, it is also possible to notify the central server 100 that the delivery of the baggage 60 is started by handing over the baggage 60 normally to the sender in the storage box 110 <S1675>. The central server 100 can also notify the traveler terminal 20 of the start of the delivery of the baggage 60 (S1675).

When the delivery of the baggage 60 by the carrier is being performed, the traveler can check the position of the baggage 60 in real time, which is replaced with the contents described in Fig.

If the delivery of the baggage 60 is completed to the next accommodation (destination), the baggage 60 is handed over to the information desk (S1680) and the beacon accessory 30 of the baggage 60 handed over from the first desk terminal 90 , 40) to notify that the delivery to the central server 100 has been completed (S1685). Of course, the sender terminal 70 can also notify the central server 100 of the completion of the delivery, and the central server 100 informs the traveler terminal 20 of the completion of the delivery, have.

On the other hand, FIG. 16 illustrates a delivery request process using the storage box 110, but it is preferable to pay a predetermined storage fee when leaving the baggage 60 with the beacon accessory in the storage box 110. The storage fee payment method may use a cash or credit card payment means installed in the storage box 110, or may use a dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20. And some of the storage cost of the baggage 60 may be covered by the delivery cost of the baggage 60. [

Also, in addition to the way of delivering to the hostel from the storage box 110, a service from the storage box 110 to the other storage box 110 can be sufficiently performed. In this case, after the user wears the baggage 60 in another storage box 110, The process of receiving the baggage 60 by the traveler in the storage 110 corresponds to the process of accessing the source storage 110 and authenticating. Of course, you can also provide a delivery service that allows certain properties to be used as the departure point for baggage and for other storage locations.

As described above, the system and method for providing the baggage delivery service using the short range wireless communication according to the present invention have the following effects.

First, the baggage (60), such as a suitcase, can be delivered to the next destination according to the travel schedule of the traveler, so that the traveler can freely tour, shop and move freely without having to carry heavy loads.

Of course, there will be worries about having to pay the shipping cost, but in the present invention, the cost sharing of the affiliated company enables the traveler to use the delivery service free or at a very low cost. That is, in order to use the baggage delivery service using the short-range wireless communication according to the present invention, the traveler must purchase the beacon accessories 30 and 40 and make a delivery request using the dedicated application. With a dedicated application, you can make reservations and payments for accommodation, sightseeing spots, restaurants, public transportation, rental cars and shopping malls, and expose your ads while providing various travel information. Accordingly, a portion of the cost of purchasing the beacon accessories 30 and 40, a portion of the contribution provided by the affiliate company such as a lodging facility or a restaurant, and a portion of the advertisement fee and the storage fee paid to the storage box 110 while entrusting the baggage 60 As part of the cost of shipping is covered, the cost of the shipping experience for the traveler is close to free, which can significantly increase service utilization.

In addition, since the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 are used, the delivery request for the specific baggage 60 is easy and the real-time delivery status can be confirmed. In particular, in the case of checking the position of the baggage 60, it is a method of confirming that the communication with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 is performed in real time through the sender terminal 70, rather than using the past information simply input by the sender, Is very high.

In addition, the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 are not used only for the purpose of requesting delivery, registration and tracking, and can be used as a function of theft and loss prevention in a normal situation. That is, if the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are paired with the traveler terminal 20 after they are put on a travel bag, a notebook, a camera, a wallet, a passport 50, 60 can be detected. If it is recognized that it is out of a certain distance, a warning is immediately generated, thereby preventing a lost or stolen situation and confirming whether or not it is lost in real time.

Particularly, the beacon accessories 30 and 40 applied to the present invention are made detachable from the baggage 60, and power is supplied only when the beacon 60 is properly worn, thereby intentionally deviating from the apparatus. In other words, since the conventional Bluetooth device simply puts the device in the bag, it is impossible for the person with impure intention to completely remove the bluetooth device and to avoid the warning when the baggage 60 is taken away. If the accessories 30,40 are correctly worn on the baggage 60, they can not be removed from the baggage 60 and only the beacon accessories 30,40 are removed and the body is detached or broken intentionally to take only the baggage 60 A warning is generated at the traveler terminal 20 due to the interruption of the power supply, thereby completely preventing the theft. Of course, it is preferable that the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are not worn on a part detachable from the main body such as a travel bag, and it is preferable to wear the beacon accessories such as a handle.

The traveler terminal 20 or the baggage delivery service 30 may be provided at the position of the baggage 60 (more specifically, the position of the traveler terminal 20 receiving the signal of the beacon accessories 30, 40 mounted on the baggage 60) The position information of the baggage 60 is output to the traveler terminal 20 when an event occurs so that the baggage 60 can be traced back from the final position where theft or loss occurred, The possibility of finding it increases.

Meanwhile, the baggage delivery service according to the present invention treats the delivery of the baggage 60 between the hostel and the accommodation as a basic service, but it is also possible to leave the baggage 60 in the unattended storage box 110 and request delivery to a desired destination Do. The baggage 60 with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 is stored in a storage box 110 installed at an airport, a train station, a subway station, a bus terminal, a sightseeing spot or a shopping mall, The legitimate sender can open the lid 110 cover 112 and take over the baggage 60 so that safe storage and delivery of the baggage 60 is possible. Of course, some of the use fee of the storage box 110 may be covered by the shipping cost.

In order to use the baggage delivery service according to the present invention, it is desirable to purchase the beacon accessories 30 and 40 before the start of the travel schedule. However, even if the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are not prepared yet, It can be conveniently purchased and registered using the installed vending machine 120. Of course, it is possible to conveniently manage the travel schedule by reserving accommodation or transportation in advance through a dedicated application. However, even if the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are purchased late and a dedicated application is installed, So that the service is highly accessible.

Meanwhile, by using the exclusive application and the beacon accessories 30 and 40 which are dealt with in the present invention, it is possible to perform the delivery service after washing together with the delivery request for the baggage 60. [ That is, clothes washing may be difficult during a long travel period. The beacon accessories 30 and 40 are mounted on the clothes to be washed, and some baggage 60 is requested to be delivered immediately to the next destination through a dedicated application, The clothes can be requested to be shipped after washing, and the central server 100, in cooperation with the laundry company as well as the carrier, will wash clothes to be washed, and then support them to be delivered to the next destination together. The laundry request and the laundry delivery process may be substantially the same as the delivery process of the baggage 60. [
