Description

Location Base Sharing Service Platform

The present invention provides a service for sharing an appointment based on a location, and relates to a method and apparatus for payment for a reservation of an appointment place.

As the demand for smartphones increases, various specialized services have begun to be provided. Among them, various location-based services are currently provided as part of the service, and as research considering personalization continues, information recommendation services based on user location are also becoming more and more important in the future.

For example, when making an appointment between people, in some cases the date and place are set in advance, but in other cases, the person who wants to meet is contacted improvisedly to make an appointment on the same day. Techniques for recommending an appropriate meeting place in consideration of various circumstances, such as the current location, weather, and time of the people who want to make an appointment, are also being developed.

When making an appointment offline rather than adjusting the time, the meeting room may have difficulties in selecting a meeting place, such as having to check the location of the meeting people and answer calls and messages from multiple people.

In another aspect, as of 2016, the loss of sales in the five service industries due to no-show alone amounted to 4.5 trillion won per year. If you consider the related manufacturers that supply food ingredients or beauty products to service companies, the loss increases to 8.27 trillion won every year. The loss of employment due to this is about 108,000 people per year.

Accordingly, when an appointment place is selected, orders, payments, reservations, etc. are processed in advance through the Internet or a smartphone in an online environment, thereby improving the difficulty in selecting an appointment place for a meeting and solving problems such as no-show need.

An object of the present invention is to provide a solution for location-based reservation confirmation and a method and apparatus for providing and sharing customized push notifications for users and affiliated stores. Based on the user and membership interface, a location-based appointment application and a smart sharing service through a website are provided, and a location-based reservation confirmation solution (eg, on a website) is provided to the merchant to provide a no-show (NO-SHOW) service. want to prevent

In one aspect, the method for providing a location-based appointment sharing service proposed by the present invention comprises the steps of determining an appointment schedule and an appointment place attended by a plurality of users subscribed to the location-based appointment sharing service based on the locations of the plurality of users - The rendezvous is set according to a rendezvous location determination condition including a time required for all users to arrive within a range specified by a plurality of users or based on the locations of the plurality of users, a moving route, and availability of a reservation. place candidates are recommended to a plurality of users, and a rendezvous point is selected through a vote of a plurality of users among the rendezvous place candidates; transmitting a notification informing all of the plurality of users attending the corresponding appointment of the determined appointment schedule and the appointment location; and when each user who has received the notification presses the departure button displayed on the user interface before starting to move from the current location to the appointment place, a departure notification is transmitted to all of the plurality of users attending the appointment, and each user who presses the departure button presses the departure button and displaying a moving route from the current location of the user to the rendezvous on a map in real time.

In the step of determining the appointment schedule and the appointment place attended by a plurality of users subscribed to the location-based appointment sharing service based on the location of the plurality of users, the appointment place candidates recommended to the plurality of users according to the appointment place determination condition are location-based. Among the companies subscribed to the appointment sharing service, only places that can be reserved on the date and time desired by a plurality of users are selected and displayed on the map. Make a reservation for

In the step of determining the appointment schedule and the appointment place attended by a plurality of users subscribed to the location-based appointment sharing service based on the location of the plurality of users, a map representing the appointment place candidates is shown together with a chat window in which a plurality of users participate, The initial map control right belongs to the meeting chair hosting the appointment among the plurality of users, and the map control right can be transferred to the members of the meeting participating in the appointment among the plurality of users.

Candidates for the rendezvous on the map are given priority according to subscription conditions when subscribing to the location-based appointment sharing service, and are recommended to a plurality of users according to the priorities.

When making a reservation for the selected rendezvous point, a pre-order, pre-payment or deposit payment service is provided to prevent a no-show.

In the step of transmitting a notification informing all of the plurality of users attending the appointment the determined appointment schedule and the appointment place, the notification is simultaneously transmitted to all of the plurality of users at the initial time point when the appointment schedule and the appointment place are determined, and thereafter, for each user Advance notices are transmitted at different times for each user before a predetermined time from the appointment time according to the result of setting a prior notification or analyzing the current location of each user, the time required to arrive at the rendezvous point, and the movement route.

When each user who has received the notification presses the departure button displayed on the user interface before starting to move from the current location to the appointment, a departure notification is sent to all users attending the appointment, and each user who has pressed the departure button In the step of displaying the moving route from the user's current location to the rendezvous on the map in real time, a real-time moving route is recommended for each user based on the current location of each user and the traffic conditions according to the moving route.

According to embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to provide and share a solution for location-based reservation confirmation and a customized push notification for users and affiliates. Based on the user and membership interface, a location-based appointment application and a smart sharing service through a website are provided, and a location-based reservation confirmation solution (eg, on a website) is provided to the merchant to provide a no-show (NO-SHOW) service. can prevent It is possible to save waiting time and precious time by identifying the location of friends (acquaintances) who have accepted sharing at the same time as an appointment place notification in real time.
