Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a mobile taxi pooling service,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile taxi pooling service billing technology, and more particularly, to a mobile taxi pooling service billing method and apparatus capable of performing billing among companions who have joined a taxi by using a mobile taxi pooling service.

One of the convenient public transportation is a taxi, which means a passenger car for business use that has a meter that displays the fare automatically. What is waiting for a guest in a designated parking lot or station is called a taxi cab, which is abbreviated as taxi. Taxis can be used in places where other public transportation is inconvenient, and they are also available at night time when buses and subways do not operate.

Generally, an empty taxi is operated in such a way that it burns a customer who is accidentally encountered while the vehicle is empty. In such a system, there is a problem that the user is unable to know where the customer is, so that the vehicle is wasted for a long period of time while being empty, and the anxiety of the taxi driver and the fatigue of mind and body are increased.

In addition, it is difficult to meet a customer who waits for a taxi in the middle of the night such as the place where the floating population is small and the human being is rare, or in the middle of the night such as dawn, (call taxi) system.

On the other hand, when the taxi is used in the past, when the weather such as late night or rain after the last train is bad, the number of passengers increases, and it is sometimes difficult to catch a taxi. In addition, when the number of passengers is small, it is a reality that it is difficult to ask the destination of the passengers directly or to request the passengers themselves.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a mobile taxi pooling service charging method and apparatus that can perform or determine a charge between companions who have joined a taxi using a mobile taxi pooling service, .

Specifically, the embodiments of the present invention recommend a companion by using a user pool of a personal network or a trust network established based on user information of users who have undergone additional or separate authentication processes, And automatically charges the dispensed rate to one of the passengers, and then charges the corresponding one to the other person who paid the taxi fare, thereby facilitating charging in the mobile taxi pooling service .

A method of charging a mobile taxi pooling service according to an embodiment of the present invention includes receiving a taxi fare input from each of the first companion and the second companion upon getting off of at least one of a first companion and a second companion, ; Determining a payment amount and a payback amount based on at least one of the input taxi fare of the received first companion and the input taxi fare of the second companion; And paying back the determined payout amount to one of the first companion and the second companion who has paid the taxi fare, and charging the determined amount of payment to the other companion.

The determining step may determine a payment amount and a payback amount based on the input taxi fare of the one of the companions.

The determining step may determine a payment amount and a payback amount based on the input taxi fare of the one companion if the input taxi fare of the one companion is less than or equal to the input taxi fare of the other companion.

Wherein the charging comprises determining the one companion to be the payee and the other companion to be the charging object on the basis of the boarding information including the starting point and the destination input from each of the first companion and the second companion , Pay back the payback amount to any one of the determined companions, and charge the settlement amount to the determined other companion.

Wherein the determining comprises calculating a joint travel distance based on boarding information including a departure point and a destination input from each of the first companion and the second companion and comparing the calculated joint travel distance with the at least one input taxi fare The settlement amount and the payout amount can be determined based on the settlement amount and the payout amount.

A mobile taxi pooling service charging apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiving unit for receiving a taxi fare input from each of the first companion and the second companion when getting off at least one of a first companion and a second companion, ; A determining unit for determining a settlement amount and a payout amount based on at least one of an input taxi fare of the received first companion and an input taxi fare of a second companion; A payback unit for paying back the determined payout amount to any one of the first companion and the second companion who paid the taxi fare; And a charging unit for charging the determined amount of money to the other companion of the first companion and the second companion.

The determining unit may determine a settlement amount and a payout amount based on the input taxi fare of the one of the companions.

The determining unit may determine a payment amount and a payout amount based on the input taxi fare of the one companion when the input taxi fare of the one companion is less than or equal to the input taxi fare of the other companion.

The determining unit may determine either one of the companion to be a payee and the other companion to be charged based on boarding information including a starting point and a destination input from the first and second companions.

Wherein the determination unit calculates a joint travel distance based on boarding information including a departure point and a destination input from each of the first companion and the second companion, and calculates a joint travel distance based on the calculated joint travel distance and the at least one input taxi fare The settlement amount and the payout amount can be determined.

According to embodiments of the present invention, a mobile taxi pooling service may be used to perform or determine a charge between companions who have joined the taxi.

Specifically, according to embodiments of the present invention, a companion is recommended by using a user pool of a personal network or a trust network established based on user information of users who have undergone additional or separate authentication processes, The system automatically distributes the taxi fare generated at the time, charges the distributed fare to one of the passengers, and then pays the corresponding amount to the other person who paid the taxi fare, thereby facilitating charging in the mobile taxi pooling service Can be performed.

Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to or limited by the embodiments. In addition, the same reference numerals shown in the drawings denote the same members.

Embodiments of the present invention recommend a companion by using a user pool of a personal network or a trust network built on the basis of user information of service subscribers that have undergone additional (or separate) authentication process among the service subscribers, The taxi fare generated when getting off is automatically distributed, and one of the companions is charged to the one of the companion, and then some of the money is paid back to the other person who paid the taxi fare, so that the mobile taxi pooling service The present invention is intended to easily carry out the billing.

Here, the user pool may be a database storing user information, and the user information may include information such as the user's gender, evaluation information on the companion, information evaluated by the companion, past companion list, affiliation (e.g., Name, etc.), friend information of online and offline social networks, previous boarding information, and movement patterns.

That is, the trust network in the embodiments of the present invention is not constructed for all service subscribers but is constructed of service subscribers who have undergone additional (or separate) authentication process among the service subscribers, The included user must go through a separate authentication process different from the authentication for the service subscription. For example, after signing up for a service, a user must additionally certify that he or she is a student of Seoul National University or an employee of Samsung Electronics, a resident of Seoul, and the additional authentication may be security rather than authentication for service subscription. It may perform additional authentication by communicating with the student information database (server), the Samsung employee database (server), the Seoul residents database (server), or may require separate certification documents.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a companion recommendation process in a mobile taxi pulling service. In FIG. 1, a mobile terminal is installed in a server (or a device) recommending a companion through communication with a mobile taxi pulling service application installed in a smart phone Fig.

Referring to FIG. 1, a mobile taxi pooling service companion recommendation process constructs a user pool of a trust network based on user information (S110).

Here, the trust network may be initially established offline using user information of a specific student, for example, a student, a professor, or an employee of a university. Alternatively, the trust network may be established offline by using a mobile taxi pooling service application installed in a smart phone, Or may be established based on user information that has been successfully authenticated through separate authentication. Of course, when establishing a trust network through subscription on a mobile, it is desirable to perform additional authentication separately from the information necessary for providing the service. Additional authentication may be more secure than authentication for service subscription. For example, after signing up for a service, a user must additionally certify that he or she is a student of Seoul National University or an employee of Samsung Electronics, a resident of Seoul, and the additional authentication may be security rather than authentication for service subscription. It may perform additional authentication by communicating with the student information database (server), the Samsung employee database (server), the Seoul residents database (server), or may require separate certification documents.

The trust network can be constructed based on the user information of the users who have succeeded in authentication through the additional authentication process among users belonging to a specific affiliation such as A university, B company, C community, Network, a trust network of company B, and a trust network of community residents. Of course, if a user goes to A university and is a C citizen, the user information can be stored in two trust networks if he / she succeeds in authentication through additional authentication to the trust network of A university and the trustee network of C community.

The companion recommendation process can recommend the companion by using the trust network to which the user belongs among the plurality of trust networks. For example, if a student at Seoul National University provides the service of the present invention, a companion can be recommended from A student at Seoul National University using a trust network that has been built in advance for Seoul National University.

Of course, if student A is a student in Seoul and is a resident of Seoul, he or she may be recommended by using both the Seoul National University Trust Network and the Seoul Metropolitan Trust Network, or by a user of the Seoul National University Trust Network and the Seoul Metropolitan Trust Network It is also possible to receive a recommendation of a companion by using only one trust network selected or set. The trustworthiness network of the Seoul National University and the trust trust network of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, which reflects the weights set for the trust network of Seoul National University and the trust trust network of Seoul, May be recommended. Each trust network may be constructed as a separate server or as a separate database on one server.

The user pool of such a trust network may be a real-time or real-time user using the mobile taxi pooling service application, such as boarding information entered by the user, evaluation information on the companion after the companion with the companion, information evaluated by the companion, And may be updated at a predetermined time period.

The user pool in step S110 must be built in order to implement the present invention. The user pool initially constructed may include basic user information, for example, gender, companion preference gender, etc., The user information stored in the pool can be enlarged and added while the present invention is being performed.

In order to request a companion recommendation through a terminal application related to the present invention in which a user for searching for a companion (hereinafter referred to as "first requestor") is installed in the mobile terminal, (Hereinafter referred to as "first boarding information"), the first boarding information inputted by the server is received, and the boarding information previously received by the server at the time of receiving the first boarding information The user information about the requested requestors is retrieved from the user pool (S120, S130).

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in step S120, information of each item is input through a source input window 510, a destination input window 520, and a boarding time input window 530 displayed on the screen of the terminal application When the post-registration button is selected, the server can receive the first boarding information.

Here, it is preferable that the server receives not only the first boarding information but also the information about the first requester requesting the first boarding information, for example, the identification information.

That is, the companion recommendation process recommends an optimal companion for each boarding information received from a plurality of requestors at the server, and recommends a companion for the first boarding information received from the first requester for convenience of explanation .

In other words, at the time when the first boarding information is received, the step S130 searches the user pool for the user information about the requestors of the boarding information previously received by the server.

Of course, the user information retrieved in step S130 may include only the name and the gender of the requestor in the initial stage in which only basic information is stored in the user pool. If various information is added according to the use of the service of the present invention, For example, previous boarding information, movement patterns, evaluation information of the companion, information evaluated by the companion, and the like.

The user information retrieved in step S130 may be used when recommending the companion of the first requester.

When the user information about the requestors is retrieved by the step S130, it is determined whether or not at least the first boarding information is obtained based on the boarding information of each of the requestors, that is, the information about the departure point, the destination and the boarding time, More than one companion is recommended (S140).

Here, in step S140, only the name and gender of each requestor are searched in the initial stage in which only basic information is stored in the user pool, and each item (source, destination, and boarding time) included in the first boarding information and boarding Each item included in the information (origin, destination, and boarding time) can be compared to recommend a requestor that matches all items as a companion. Of course, in step S140, if there is no requestor matching all the items, similarity between the items is calculated, the priority is determined in descending order of the degree of similarity calculated, and the companion is recommended have.

In addition, if the first boarding information includes specific request information such as sex, important item selection information, and the like for the companion recommendation, the first boarding information may recommend the companion among the requestors by reflecting the specific request information, It is also possible to recommend the companion in consideration of the movement pattern after confirming the movement pattern of the first occupant from the user information of the first occupant. Of course, in this case, the degree of similarity may be adjusted so as to increase the degree of similarity in recommending the companion by calculating the degree of similarity between the items and adding a weight to a specific item among the items as necessary.

Step S140 of recommending such a companion will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 2 to 4. Fig.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a process of recommending a companion when the first boarding information includes a start point, a destination, and a boarding time as well as gender request information is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S140 of recommending a companion, a requestor corresponding to gender request information is extracted from the user information of each of the requestors searched in step S130, and each item included in the boarding information of the extracted requestor For example, the requestor having the destination, the departure point, the boarding time and the items included in the first boarding information, for example, the destination, the departure point, and the boarding time all agree with each other (S210 and S220).

2, if a first requestor requests a woman as a companion, a requestor corresponding to a woman is extracted from the user information retrieved in step S130, and then the departure point, the destination, and the boarding time included in the first boarding information, The originator, the destination, and the boarding time included in the request are all referred to as a companion. Of course, considering the case where all the items do not coincide with each other, the degree of similarity between the departure place, the destination and the boarding time included in the first boarding information and the departure place, the destination and the boarding time included in the boarding information of the extracted requesting party, After determining the priorities in the order of the highest sum, the top fewer of the determined priorities may be recommended as a companion.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating another embodiment of the operation of step S140 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 shows a process of recommending a companion through priority determination using the similarity calculation of each item.

As shown in FIG. 3, the companion recommending step S140 is a step of recommending a companion to each of the items (destination, departure place, boarding time) included in the first boarding information and each item , Departure point, boarding time), determines the priority of the requestors based on the calculated similarity, and recommends at least one of the requestors based on the determined priority (S310 to S330).

That is, in step S310, the degree of similarity between the origin of the first boarding information and the origin of the boarding information of each of the requestors, the similarity between the destination of the first boarding information and the destination of the boarding information of each of the requestors, And the step S320 determines the order of priority of the requestors in descending order of the sum by using the sum of the calculated degrees of similarity. In the step S330, the requestors having the higher priority are called the companion .

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of step S140 shown in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, a process of recommending a companion through priority determination that reflects a movement pattern of a first requestor is illustrated.

As shown in FIG. 4, in step S140, the companion is recommended by analyzing or confirming the user information of the first requester stored in the user pool (S410).

Here, the movement pattern to be checked in step S410 is to analyze whether the first requestor regards the departure place as important, whether the destination is important, and whether the boarding time is important by using the previous boarding information, This can mean identifying which item is important. That is, step S410 is to confirm which item of departure place, destination, and boarding time is important through analysis using previous boarding information.

When the movement pattern of the first requestor is confirmed in step S410, the item (destination, departure place, boarding time) included in the first boarding information and each item (destination, departure place, boarding time ), And weighting the similarity of the item corresponding to the identified movement pattern among the calculated similarities (S420, S430).

For example, in step S430, if the movement pattern of the first requestor is analyzed as being important to the departure point, a weight of a certain value is calculated for the similarity calculated between the departure points (where the weight is determined by the provider providing the present invention Which can be determined by user settings), thereby inducing the recommender to recommend a matching or proximate requester as an important item.

If a weight is assigned to the similarity degree of the specific item in step S430, the weighted similarity degree and the similarity degree of the remaining items are added up, the priority of the requestors is determined using the value of the summed degree of similarity, (S440, S450).

At this time, in step S440, the priority of the requestors is determined in descending order of the calculated degree of similarity, so that the requestors having a higher priority can be recommended as a companion in step S450.

4, the movement pattern is confirmed through analysis using the information of the first requester stored in the user pool, and the companion is recommended by reflecting the movement pattern that is confirmed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, For example, when any one item of the departure point, the destination, and the boarding time items can be selected as an important item, weighting is performed on the degree of similarity of the selected important item without analyzing the movement pattern, The requestor can then recommend a matching or proximate requestor to recommend a companion. For example, if the first requester selects the item of the boarding information, for example, the departure point, the departure point, and the boarding time item as the important items, each item (destination, departure point, boarding time (Destination, departure place, and boarding time) included in the boarding information of each of the requestors, and assigns a weight to the similarity of the departure point item to determine the priority of the requestors, Based on the recommendation of at least one or more companion requestors.

In addition, the companion recommendation can optimize the companion recommendation algorithm provided to the user in consideration of the user's acceptance of the companion recommendation result provided by the server. That is, the companion recommendation algorithm can be optimized and provided for each user. For example, when recommending a companion to a first user by using a recommendation algorithm applying predetermined weight for each item included in the boarding information, for example, a destination, a departure place, and a boarding time, The recommendation algorithm can be determined as the optimized recommendation algorithm of the first user. However, if the first user does not accept the recommendation result of the recommended recommendation algorithm, The optimal recommendation algorithm optimized for the first user may be provided by changing the predetermined weight or by changing the weight for each item in consideration of the selection result of the first user.

Referring again to FIG. 1, if at least one companion is recommended by step S140, the recommended supplicant may be provided specifically to the first requester, the companion information recommended by the application installed in the mobile terminal of the first requester, (Step S160), the cabin-boarding position is recommended (step S160).

At this time, in step S150, if a plurality of companions are recommended, by providing the first requester with the user name and the affiliation, the departure location, the destination, the boarding time, and the companion evaluation information for the recommended companions, The user name and affiliation, the origin 610, the destination 620, the boarding time 630 and the companion evaluation information 640 may be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal of the first requester, for example, . When the first requester inputs the companion request button to select the companion recommended in FIG. 6A, the information of the first requester, for example, the first requester name, affiliation, origin, destination, boarding time and first 6B can be displayed on the smartphone screen of the companion by providing the evaluation information of the requester to request the companion to accompany the companion. When the companion inputs the connection button shown in FIG. 6B, Can be determined.

In addition, in step S160, the server recommends an optimal boarding position using the first requester's origin information and the determined origin of the companion, and the step may be determined through conversation or conversation between users as needed, In this case, step S160 may be omitted.

1, when the first requestor and the companion complete the taxi-sharing, the evaluation of the other party can be performed, and the evaluation of the other party is updated in real time with respect to each user information, And the reliability of each user information can be improved by updating the user information stored in the user pool.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when a screen for performing an evaluation for a companion is provided, each of the first requester and the companion can evaluate the other party. For example, if the user evaluates positively for the other party, as shown in FIG. 7B, an item for affirmative can be selected. If the user evaluates the other party as negative, as shown in FIG. 7C, You can select an item. Of course, by inputting a comment on the evaluation at the time of evaluation of the other party, concrete information about the evaluation may be provided.

As described above, the companion recommendation process is a process of establishing a personal network or a trust network based on user information, and using the user pool of the established trust network to determine the boarding conditions entered by the user, for example, By recommending and providing an optimal companion suitable for the time, the user can select a desired companion.

In addition, the companion recommendation process can update the user pool of the trust network constructed offline or offline and online using information input from users using mobile taxi pooling service, evaluation information between users, and the like , Thereby extending the scope of the trust network.

Specifically, the companion recommendation process secures a secure user pool and performs a social network analysis (SNA) such as homophily, recommendation-recommendation, and likes-dislike on user information stored in the user pool, It performs user connection based on collaborative filtering technology and recommends the best companion through analysis of similarity network such as real-time clustering and optimal companion recommendation list.

In addition, the trust network can be constructed using various parameters such as user-entered and authenticated profile information, current affiliation (e.g., university, company), past affiliation, usual movement pattern, SNS friendship, The user or service provider can adjust or adjust the appropriate weight.

Thus, the companion recommendation process can recommend an optimal companion list based on time and space, demographic, and social network information base. For example, it is possible to suggest 1) a companion based on the same school or gender, 2) a movement pattern, a past companion list, an evaluation of the companion, information evaluated by the user and evaluation information of the recommended companion, And the relationship of friends in online and offline social networks. The present invention can be applied to finding a companion candidate considering an optimal route between a start point and a destination, or to finding a companion candidate among event attendees such as an international conference.

Although the mobile taxi pulling service has been described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, such a companion recommendation technique is not limited thereto and may be applied to various applications as follows.

1) It may be applied to social dining services. The social networking service companion recommendation technique establishes the above-mentioned trust network, recommends users who go to the restaurant together with the first requestor in the trust network, calculates and provides rankings of similarity, The user can be easily selected.

2) It may be applied to social dating services. The social dating service technology: establishes the trust network described above, and recommends users who are predicted to be similar to the first requestor in the trust network and calculates and provides a rank of similarity so that the first requestor can easily You can choose.

3) It may be applied to social travel accompany services. The social travel companion service technique establishes the trust network described above, and recommends users who will travel with the first requestor in the trust network and calculates and provides a rank of similarity so that the first requestor can easily select .

4) It may be applied to social accommodation services. The social accommodation service technology establishes the above-described trust network, calculates the recommendation and similarity ranking of the users who will lend the house to the first requestor in the trust network, or calculates and provides the recommendation and similarity ranking of the users who will lend the house to the first requestor , A user can easily select a user who can stay or provide accommodation.

5) It is possible to combine the above-mentioned trust networks with existing O2O (Online to Offline) and shared economic services.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a mobile taxi pulling service charging method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the present invention.

Herein, in order to perform the charging of the present invention, all the users who use the mobile taxi pooling service are provided with payment means information for performing payment, for example, a credit card information and a pay page for paying a portion of the amount paid by the companion For example, it is preferable to register the passbook account number in the server. Hereinafter, in the mobile taxi pooling service, the determined amount of the companion is charged using the credit card of the companion, and the companion who paid the taxi fee pays some amount to the passbook account, and the companion who paid the taxi charge is the first requestor Assume and explain. Of course, the present invention can determine a taxi fare payer and a person to be charged based on the departure place and the destination included in the departure place, the destination, and the companion boarding information included in the boarding information of the first requester, and more specifically, As a taxi fare payer, and can determine a user who is getting off quickly as a person to be charged. If the destinations of the boarding information are the same, the first requester requesting the sharing may be determined as the taxi fare payer and the companion may be determined as the charging target person.

Referring to FIG. 8, a mobile taxi pooling service charging method according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a taxi fee inputted by a first requestor and a companion respectively from a first requestor and a companion (S810).

For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, the first requester inputs a taxi fare generated upon getting off the companion via the taxi fare input window displayed on the smartphone of the first requester, and the companion also receives the taxi fare as shown in FIG. 9B Likewise, by inputting the taxi fare generated when the user gets off the vehicle through the taxi fare input window displayed on the companion smartphone, the server can receive the taxi fare generated when the first requestor and the companion smartphone get off the companion.

In step S810, when the taxi fare is received from each of the first requester and the companion, the payment amount and the payback amount of the companion are determined based on the taxi fare received from the first requester (S820).

At this time, if the input amount of the first requester is equal to or smaller than the input amount of the companion, the step S820 may determine the payment amount of the companion based on the taxi fee received from the first requester. That is, in the billing method according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the input amount of the first requester is larger than the input amount of the companion, it is determined that there is an error in the input amount, A confirmation process can be performed. Of course, the checking of the taxi fare may be performed using an application providing a mobile taxi pooling service, or may be performed through an offline confirmation process such as a telephone conversation. Through this confirmation process, if the input amount is corrected, the payment amount of the companion can be determined based on the corrected input amount. For example, if the taxi fare entered by the first requestor (on-site payment agent) is greater than the taxi fare entered by the companion (appraisal agent), an agreement is made at an appropriate rate through manual intervention within 24 hours after departure, If the consensus fails, the taxi fare entered by the first requestor will be settled. If the fare is less than the taxi fare entered by the first requester through additional intervention, the final agreed taxi fare will be charged and payback Since the amount is determined, the amount of the settlement amount of the companion and the difference between the settlement amount determined by the final settlement can be refunded to the companion, and the payback can be carried out after all such disputes have been settled.

The payment amount of the companion determined in step S820 may be an amount including a fee provided to the service provider providing the mobile taxi pooling service, and the fee may be determined by the provider providing the present invention.

Step S820 may be different from 1) when the origin and destination are the same, 2) when the origin is the same, and when the destination is different, and 3) when the origin and destination are different. Of course, it is assumed that the origin and destination of the taxi are the same as the origin and destination of the first requester.

For example, in case of 1), the payment amount of the companion can be determined by adding a commission to the taxi fare generated because the first requestor and the companion get off at the same origin and destination, and then dividing the final amount determined.

As another example, in case of 2), since the first requestor and the companion have the same departure point and the destination is different, the payment amount of the companion can be determined by adding the commission fee and the final amount determined when the companion is removed. In this case, since the travel distance between the first requestor and the companion is different, the distribution of the fare depending on the travel distance may be different. If the distribution of the fare is different, the initial fare is distributed at a ratio of the travel distance, A fee may be calculated by dividing the charges incurred in addition to a fee into a certain percentage (where the ratio may be determined by the provider providing the invention or determined by the user setting), and summing the amounts together to determine the final amount of the companion.

As another example, in the case of 3), the first requestor and the companion are different from each other because the departure point and the destination are different. Therefore, by dividing the final fare by adding a commission to the difference between the fare at the time of boarding the passenger, You can determine the amount. In this case, since the travel distance between the first requestor and the companion is different, the distribution of the fare depending on the travel distance may be different. If the distribution of the fare is different, the initial fare is distributed at a ratio of the travel distance, The amount of the difference outside of a charge may be divided by a certain percentage (where the ratio may be determined by the provider providing the invention or determined by the user setting), and then summed together to determine the final amount of the companion.

The amount of settlement thus determined or the amount by which each of the two companions is paid can be displayed on the screen as in the example shown in Fig.

The payout amount in step S820 may be an amount of the distribution amount distributed to the companion among the taxi fees generated by the sharing with the companion (here, the distribution amount is different from the payment amount) minus the fee.
