Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a server, a user terminal, and a method for providing a route determination service for a ship,

The present invention relates to a server, a user terminal, and a method for providing a route determination service for a ship.

Conventional Route Determination Services determine the navigable routes on the sea based on islands, land, sea artificial obstacles or depth information and determine the standard route from the departure point to the destination of the vessel using the waypoints set on the navigable route. do. This conventional route determination service takes a long time to derive one standard route because it determines one standard route by calculating the number of all cases that pass through all the plurality of waypoints set on the sea, It is quite inefficient in that the number of cases for all waypoints must be calculated one by one. For example, 9,000,000 standard routes between 3,000 ports are required, and each calculation of an astronomical number that passes through each waypoint for each standard route to determine 9,000,000 standard routes is a waste of time, It may cause an overload.

It is possible.

Generally, each component of the ship maritime determination service providing system of FIG. 1 is connected through a network 120. The network 120 refers to a connection structure capable of exchanging information between nodes such as terminals and servers. The network 120 may be a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wide area network (WAN) WWW: World Wide Web), wired / wireless data communication network, telephone network, wired / wireless television communication network, and the like. Examples of wireless data communication networks include 3G, 4G, 5G, 3GPP, LTE, WIMAX, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, infrared, Communications, Visible Light Communication (VLC), LiFi, and the like.

The user terminal 110 accesses the ship route providing site through a web server (not shown) and receives the ship route determining service or provides the ship route determining service through the ship route providing application installed in the user terminal 100 Can receive. The user terminal 110 may include, for example, a notebook PC, a desktop PC, and a mobile terminal capable of wired or wireless communication. The mobile terminal is a wireless communication device that is guaranteed to be portable and mobility and can be used not only for a smartphone, a tablet PC, a wearable device, but also for a Bluetooth (BLE), an NFC, an RFID, an ultrasonic, WiFi), and LiFi (LiFi). However, the user terminal 110 is not limited to those illustrated above.

The user terminal 110 can receive information on the ship's origin and destination from the user through the ship navigation site or the ship navigation application.

The route determination server 110 determines at least one maritime area included in a route from a start point to a destination among a plurality of maritime sea areas based on information about the ship's starting point and destination received from the user terminal 110 . Here, the sea is divided into a plurality of marine zones by setting an area having a high probability of passing the same waypoint (a main way point to be described later) on the sea to the same sea zone.

Route determination server 110 may extract a fixed route connecting a plurality of major way points belonging to at least one sea area included on a route from a departure point of the ship to a destination. Here, a significant way-point refers to a waypoint that necessarily goes through navigation among maritime zones among a plurality of waypoints.

The route determination server 110 determines a first variable route from the departure location of the ship to the first major way point of the maritime area including the departure place and determines the first variable route from the second main way point to the destination of the maritime area including the destination Two variable routes can be determined. Here, the first variable route and the second variable route can be determined in real time based on the weather forecast information in the maritime area including the departure place and the maritime area including the destination.

The maritime area dividing section 200 determines a plurality of waypoints at a point or a point on the route which intersects in a plurality of routes in which a plurality of vessels can be operated, It is possible to determine a plurality of main way points as a point that must pass through. For example, a major waypoint may be a waypoint that necessarily goes through navigation among maritime zones of a plurality of waypoints.

The maritime area division unit 200 can divide the marine area and the sea area into a plurality of marine zones based on the determined plurality of major way points. For example, referring to FIG. 3A, a port and a sea area are divided into a plurality of sea areas based on a plurality of main way points (X mark), and a main way point is a weight point . If a new harbor is constructed, a new harbor is opened, or an artifact is installed on the sea, the main weight point can be changed, and the sea area can also be divided or integrated by changing the main weight point.

The maritime zone dividing unit 200 can determine a fixed maritime route connecting major way points between maritime zones adjacent to each other for each of a plurality of maritime zones. For example, if the vessel is expected to arrive at a port located in the third sea zone starting from a port located in the first sea zone and assuming that there is a second sea zone between the first sea zone and the third sea zone, The installment unit 200 can determine a route connecting the main waypoint between the first and second maritime zones and the main waypoint between the second maritime zone and the third maritime zone as a fixed route.

At this time, there may be multiple main waypoints for each maritime zone, and the main waypoints between maritime zones may be weight points that are essential for navigation between maritime zones. For example, if a ship sails from a port in the same sea zone or from sea to another sea zone, it must pass one and the same major waypoint.
