5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a path according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

According to various embodiments, in operation 501 , the first information providing system 420 or the second information providing system 440 may transmit a path providing request command to the server 460 .

The route provision request command may include information for designating another information providing system to be accessed. For example, when a path provision request command is transmitted from the first information providing system 420 corresponding to the first user to the server 460, the first user receives the second information corresponding to the second user that the first user wants to meet. By selecting the providing system 440 , the corresponding information may be transmitted to the server 460 .

According to various embodiments, in operation 503 , the server 460 may request user movement information from the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 according to the received route providing request command. In operation 505 , the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 may transmit user movement information of the information providing systems 420 and 440 to the server 460 , respectively.

The user movement information may include, for example, at least one of the current location of the information providing system, the movement speed and movement route of the information providing system for a predetermined time, and information about the type of transport device to which the information providing system is connected. there is.

According to various embodiments, in operation 507 , the server 460 may determine a movement means for each information providing system by using the received user movement information.

For example, the server 460 may determine the type of transport device to which the information providing systems 420 and 440 are connected by using the moving speed of the information providing systems 420 and 440 for a predetermined period. For example, when the server 460 receives information that the information providing systems 420 and 440 have moved at a speed of about 5 km for a predetermined time, the user holding the information providing systems 420 and 440 can walk It can be assumed to be moving. For another example, when the information providing systems 420 and 440 move at a speed of about 15 km for a predetermined time, the server 460 may estimate that the information providing systems 420 and 440 are connected to a bicycle and moving. In the case of moving at a speed of 40 km or more, it can be estimated that the information providing systems 420 and 440 are connected to a vehicle and are moving.

As another example, the server 460 may analyze the movement path of the information providing systems 420 and 440 for a predetermined period to determine the type of transport device to which the information providing systems 420 and 440 are connected. For example, if the movement path of the information providing systems 420 and 440 corresponds to a sidewalk (walking-only road), the server 460 estimates that the user who has the information providing systems 420 and 440 is moving on foot. can do. When the movement path of the information providing systems 420 and 440 corresponds to the road, it can be estimated that the information providing systems 420 and 440 are connected to the vehicle and moving. When the moving path of the information providing systems 420 and 440 corresponds to a bicycle-only road, the server 460 may estimate that the information providing systems 420 and 440 are connected to a bicycle and moving. When the moving path of the information providing systems 420 and 440 includes both the road and the sidewalk, the server 460 considers the moving speed of the information providing systems 420 and 440 together with the information providing systems 420 and 440 . It can be presumed that the vehicle is connected to a bicycle or motorcycle and is moving.

Next, in operation 509 , the server 460 may extract a path layer according to the moving means of the information providing systems 420 and 440 . For example, the server 460 may extract a path layer suitable for each moving means according to whether the user who has the information providing systems 420 and 440 moves on foot, by bicycle or by car.

For example, if it is determined that the user having the first information providing system 420 moves on foot, the server 460 may generate a moving route of the first information providing system 420 based on the walking path layer. there is. For example, if it is determined that the first information providing system 420 moves in connection with a bicycle (or a car), the server 460 sets the first information providing system 420 based on the bicycle route layer (or car route layer). ) can be created. Since the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 may have different means of movement, the path layers of each of the information providing systems 420 and 440 may be configured separately. According to an embodiment, the server 460 may directly receive the moving means information from the user and extract a path layer corresponding to the corresponding moving means.

In operation 511 , the server 460 may generate a movement path based on the path layer and variable information for each information providing system 420 , 440 extracted in operation 509 .

The variable information may be previously stored in the database 463 or may be received from the outside through the communication module 461 . For example, the server 460 may receive variable information related to path generation from the outside. Variable information is, for example, the traffic congestion situation in the region related to the extracted route layer, the presence of dangerous features, whether the contact point is located around the landmark, the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 may include at least one of a location of a final destination to which 440 is to finally move, and weather.

In operation 511 , the server 460 may generate an optimal moving path of the user based on the path layer of the first information providing system 420 , the path layer of the second information providing system 440 , and variable information in operation 511 . . Here, the optimal moving path may mean a path with the shortest distance or the minimum time according to user selection, and may also mean various paths in consideration of user convenience. For example, the optimal moving path may be a path in which a user moving on foot can move only a minimum distance in snowy or raining weather, and the first user and the second user corresponding to the first information providing system 420 . When the second user corresponding to the information providing system 440 meets at the contact point and needs to move together to the final destination, it may be a route determined in consideration of the movement path from the contact point to the final destination.

For example, the server 460 verifies a plurality of contact points by collating the path layers of each information providing system 420 , 440 , and based on the moving means of each information providing system 420 , 440 , the contact point position Estimated arrival time until arrival at . Variable information may be used to estimate the expected arrival time. For example, if the moving route includes a traffic jam section, the expected arrival time may be longer than the average time using the corresponding moving means. As another example, when there is a limit of operating time among moving routes (eg, limit of moving time due to the use of public transportation, temporary closure of roads, etc.), the server 460 may estimate the expected arrival time by reflecting the time limit.

The server 460 may generate an optimal movement path by comparing the estimated arrival times for each information providing system 420 and 440 . For example, the server 460 has a small difference between the expected arrival times of the respective information providing systems 420 and 440 , but the expected arrival time of the first information providing system 420 and the expected arrival of the second information providing system 440 . A movement path with the shortest time may be considered as an optimal movement path.

A path may be determined as an optimal moving path.

For example, in snowy or rainy weather, the first information providing system 420 is moved by a user who moves on foot, and the second information providing system 440 is connected to a car and moved or the second information providing system ( When the user using 440 is located in an area where public transportation is easy to ride, the server 460 sets the moving path that can minimize the moving time of the user corresponding to the first information providing system 460 as the optimal moving path. can decide

In operation 513 , the server 460 may transmit the optimal movement path information generated in operation 511 to the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 , respectively.

For example, the server 460 may transmit all of the information about the generated optimal movement path to the information providing systems 420 and 440 , and the first information providing system 420 to the first information providing system 420 . The optimal moving path information from the current location of ' may be transmitted, and the optimal moving path information from the current location of the second information providing system 440 may be transmitted to the second information providing system 440 , respectively.

For example, the user may check the expected moving path and the current location of the counterpart information providing system while being guided on the optimal moving path to his/her contact point.

The server 460 may transmit map information showing an optimal moving path to each of the information providing systems 420 and 440 . The map information may include, for example, an estimated time required to arrive at a point of contact from each of the information providing systems 420 and 440 .

Although not shown, if the optimal movement path is changed according to the new variable information even after operation 513 , the server 460 generates a new optimal movement path to provide the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 . It is possible to retransmit the optimal moving path information generated by .

The server may generate an optimal moving path of the user based on the extracted path layer and variable information. Here, the optimal moving path may mean a path that takes the shortest distance or the minimum time according to user selection, but may also mean various paths in consideration of user convenience.

For example, the optimal movement route may mean a route that requires a minimum distance for a user to travel on foot or through public transportation in snowy or rainy weather, and a land so that the user can easily check the contact point location. It may mean a path considered to make a position adjacent to a mark a contact position. For another example, even if the user of the first information providing system 420 moves on foot and the second information providing system 440 moves in connection with the car, the optimal movement path is significantly increased due to traffic congestion. If it falls, it may mean a route designed to increase the walking distance of the user of the first information providing system 420 or to avoid a traffic jam section.

In operation 615 , the server 460 may transmit the optimal movement path information generated in operation 611 to the first information providing system 420 and the second information providing system 440 , respectively.
