In one embodiment, the time calculation unit 320 may further include a movement time calculation module 322 that calculates a movement time from the sleep position to the work position based on the sleep position and the work position. .

Referring to FIG. 5, for example, the movement time calculation module 322 receives traffic situation information from an external server T that provides information on the traffic situation from the sleeping position to the work location, and uses the set calculation formula. Thus, the estimated travel time from the sleeping position to the work position can be calculated.

Here, the external server T calculates the shortest path or the optimal path to reach the set location and provides it to the terminal 1, and the calculation of the shortest path or the optimal path may be performed by a Dijkstra algorithm. . In this case, the travel time calculation module 322 may calculate an expected travel time from traffic condition information, and the time calculation unit 320 may calculate a bedtime and wake up time based on the calculated estimated travel time.

4, for another example, the movement time calculation module 322 moves from the sleep position to the work position according to a calculation formula set based on a plurality of actual movement times stored in the information collection unit 310. Time can be calculated. In this case, the information collection unit 310 converts the actual travel time from the time when the current location to the time when the current location deviates from the set location range from the sleep location to the time when the current location reaches the set location range from the work location. The movement calculation module calculates the movement time based on the stored, accumulated and stored data on the actual movement time. In an embodiment, the movement calculation module may calculate the movement time by averaging the accumulated actual movement time for a set period (1 month, 1 week, etc.).

More specifically, the movement time calculation module 322 calculates the time from the time when the sleep position deviates from the set position range to the time when the work position reaches the set position range. Specifically, the time from the time of the mismatch between the sleeping position and the current position of the terminal 1 to the time of the coincidence of the working position and the current position of the terminal 1 is calculated, and the position range of the sleeping position or the position range of the working position 1) It can be changed according to the location tracking technology of the location information generating means 200, and it is preferable that it can be changed according to the setting of the user.

In the above-described embodiment, the time calculation unit 320 includes the movement time calculated by the movement time calculation module 322, the preparation time calculated by the preparation time calculation module 321, the distance from the sleeping position to the work position, The sleep time and wake-up time are calculated based on the sleep time and the work start time. For example, the time calculation unit 320 may calculate a time prior to the travel time and the above-described preparation time as the wake-up time from the work start time.

The bedtime and wake-up time calculated by the time calculation unit 320 are displayed through a time display unit, and the time display unit may display the bedtime and wake-up time through the display of the terminal 1.

The present invention to which the above mechanism is applied is to induce sufficient sleep and increase sleep and work efficiency by calculating and displaying customized bedtime and wake-up time by considering the user's sleeping environment, work environment, location, and conditions. I can.

Specifically, the sleep induction signal output unit 340 compares whether the bedtime has elapsed, whether the alarm time has elapsed, and whether the terminal 1 is driven, and induces sleep when the user drives the terminal 1 while sleeping. The sleep induction signal is output to induce the user to sleep. In this case, the sleep induction signal may be a set text, image, video, sound, vibration, or the like.

Whether or not the terminal 1 is driven is determined based on whether light is irradiated through the display provided in the terminal 1, whether the processor provided in the terminal 1 is operating, whether or not power is consumed through the terminal 1, etc. If it is possible to determine whether the terminal 1 is driven or not, various methods can be applied.
