Description

ICT tracking system possible to secure real-time visibility related to the transport of essential medical supplies}

The present invention relates to an ICT tracking system that can secure real-time visibility in relation to transportation of essential medical supplies.

In general, radio frequency sensing is a technology that recognizes and processes state information of objects using a small semiconductor chip. It is a contactless recognition system.

A wireless sensor network (USN) consisting of a wireless reception reader with wireless signal reading and decoding functions, a wireless detection device with built-in unique information, operating software, and a network is a thin flat wireless detection device attached to an object. Process information by identifying

These USNs do not require direct contact or scanning within the line of sight like barcodes.

Because of these advantages, it is evaluated as a technology to replace barcodes, and the range of applications is expanding. Radio identification systems in the low frequency band (30 kHz to 500 kHz) are used at short distances of 1.8 m or less, and the electronic identification systems in the high frequency band (850 MHz to 950 MHz or 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz) are transmitted over a long distance of 27 m or more. This is possible.

That is, the USN is a system that connects an antenna to a wireless signal reader, recognizes information from a wireless condition sensor within several tens of meters, and processes the data.

Techniques for real-time management by a state detection sensor using such a USN have been proposed.

In this technology, by installing a wireless sensing device that senses information about an item and reading this information, it is possible to easily identify the existence or even the location of the item.

That is, if the USN technology capable of including various information in the sensing device for sensing the state of the article is used, the article can be effectively managed according to the user's convenience, and thus the USN technology is widely used for article management.

As described above, an example of a technology for managing goods using a wireless sensor network is [Korean Patent Publication 10-2009-0023008 (published on March 4, 2009), "Container monitoring system and smart container device using a wireless sensor network"] (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1).

The prior art 1 is connected to a plurality of sensor modules for sensing the container internal environment and a wireless sensor network to monitor the internal state of the container such as location deviation and damage of goods stored in the container, and is mounted inside the container to monitor the internal state of the container a sensor module that detects and transmits the detected result to a smart container device connected to a wireless sensor network; Container environment including location data, internal state data, and container identification number through wireless Internet or mobile communication network or satellite communication network after storing the internal state data received from the sensor module in the internal memory a smart container device that delivers data to the server side; and a monitoring server for monitoring the internal state of the container based on the container location data and environment data received from the smart container device.

However, in the prior art 1, the sensor module (or state detection device) is mounted on the inner wall of a container without directly attaching it to the article. In general, RFID tag technology is used to identify an article by directly attaching it to an article and to obtain status information of the article. RFID tags are usually passive and do not have a direct power source (or battery), and are operated using RF signals transmitted from an external RFID reader as power sources.

Therefore, in order to directly mount a sensor module (or state detection device) on an article and use it for article management, the battery problem of the state detection device must be solved. This is because, when asset management is performed through a wireless detection device, a wireless detection device is attached to all assets, so battery replacement also requires a lot of time and money.

An example of a technology for saving a battery of a sensor in a wireless sensor network is disclosed in [Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0092073 (published on Sep. 12, 2007), "Power saving method of a wireless sensor network"] (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 2) has been

The prior art 2 is a method for saving battery power of a wireless communication device by operating a sleep mode to minimize power consumption other than an active mode for communication, and includes the steps of initializing a sleep probability when the device is initially deployed; Activating the active mode for communication, starting the active mode timer, activating the sleep mode if there are no packets to be transmitted or received before the active mode timer expires, and releasing from the sleep mode based on the sleep probability A method comprising the step of determining is disclosed.

However, the prior art 2 is a battery saving method in a sensor network that transmits sensed sensing data, and is difficult to be applied to a sensor network for asset management that mainly detects a location or movement. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a battery management technology for a state detection device suitable for a wireless sensor network (USN) for asset management.

In addition, the quality of transportation and storage between essential drug manufacturers (blood/vaccine/medicine, etc.) A system capable of monitoring (temperature/humidity/location) information sharing and cargo tracking and transport quality-related history management is required, and real-time monitoring is required.

In addition, a solution that can cross-check in various environments is required so that manufacturers, truck drivers, logistics centers, storage places, field workers, importers, etc. can check the quality-related information of transported and stored products. And a system solution that can be checked on a smartphone is required.

Therefore, there is a need for a solution to solve the above problems.

Also, in the prior art, although all sensed information is communicated, a method for reducing power consumption by reducing unnecessary information transmission and communicating necessary information was needed.

In addition, the most damage occurs when the product is loaded or unloaded on an airplane or the like during the delivery process, and there is a problem in that there is no method for promptly identifying this and determining who is responsible.

In addition, the prior art has a problem in that it is difficult to deliver real-time information in the process of a guide arriving to an airplane and a guide delivered to a user after unloading from the airplane.

The ICT tracking device 300 included in the pallet 400 must be operated with a charged battery 340. In the case of repeatedly performing steps S1 to S4 of the above-described process, positioning through GPS, through a sensor There is a problem in that it is difficult to operate the ICT tracking device 300 for a long period of time due to severe power consumption in the process of determining the status and transmitting information.

Therefore, in the present invention, a method of putting the GPS 320, the sensor 370, and the communication unit 310 into a sleep mode under a certain condition and switching to an active mode under another condition is applied. (S7).

The sleep/active mode applied to step S7 will be described later in detail with reference to the drawings by changing the terms.

Next, the process of loading the ICT tracking device 300 and the pallet 400 accommodating at least one object is carried out on the plane (S8).

When the pallet 400 is loaded and moved on a transportation means such as an airplane, the operation of grasping the location information of the GPS 320 and the communication operation of the communication unit 310 may be unnecessary steps.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the GPS 320 is turned OFF (S9), and the communication unit 310 is also turned OFF (S11).

Among them, only the operation of the plurality of sensors 370 is turned on to perform sensing of the objects loaded on the pallet 400 .

At this time, when the plurality of sensors 370 repeatedly collect information, and the delivery of the pallet 400 is made or delayed for a long time, the problem that it is difficult to operate the ICT tracking device 300 for a long time due to severe power consumption is again Occurs.

Therefore, in the state in which the pallet 400 is mounted on the plane, the GPS 320 and the communication unit 310 are off (OFF) only for the operation of the plurality of sensors 370 in sleep / active mode (sleep / active mode) may be applied (S12).

Similar to the sleep/active mode of step S7, the sleep/active mode of step S12 will also be described in detail with reference to the drawings by changing the terms.

Thereafter, the step of unloading the ICT tracking device 300 and the pallet 400 accommodating at least one object from a transportation means such as an airplane is performed (S13).

In this case, the GPS 320 that has come down to the ground may receive a satellite signal from the satellite (S14), and the GPS 320 is turned on again under the control of the controller 350 (S15).

Also, in response to the GPS 320 being turned on, the control unit 350 also turns on the communication unit 310 ( S16 ).

At this time, the plurality of sensors 370 transmit the object-related state information sensed to the communication unit 310 while mounted on the airplane (S17), and the communication unit 310 collects state information under the control of the control unit 350 is transmitted to the control server 200 (S18), and the control server 200 provides status information of the object in which the user is interested through the web or application in response to the request of the user terminal 100 (S19). ).

Thereafter, steps S20 to S25 corresponding to steps S1 to S6, respectively, are performed again until the process in which the ICT tracking device 300 and the pallet 400 accommodating at least one object are delivered to the user.

That is, the GPS 320 of the ICT tracking device 300 periodically acquires the location information of at least one object (S20), the plurality of sensors 370 of the ICT tracking device 300 is the at least one object A step (S21) of performing an operation of sensing the state information of

Thereafter, a process (S23) of transferring the location information obtained by the GPS 320 to the communication unit 310 (S22), and transferring the state information obtained by the plurality of sensors 370 to the communication unit 310 (S23) is performed.

The communication unit 310 transmits at least some of the location information and the status information collected under the control of the control unit 350 to the control server 200 (S24), and the control server 200 responds to the request of the user terminal 100. Correspondingly, location information and state information of an object in which the user is interested are provided through the web or application (S25).

In addition, as before being loaded on a transportation means such as an airplane, in the process of unloading and delivering to the user, the ICT tracking device 300 included in the pallet 400 must be operated with a charged battery 340 , In the case of repeatedly performing steps S20 to S25 during the process, it is difficult to operate the ICT tracking device 300 for a long period of time due to high power consumption in the process of determining the position through GPS, determining the state through the sensor, and transmitting information. There is this.

Therefore, in the present invention, a method of putting the GPS 320, the sensor 370, and the communication unit 310 into a sleep mode under a certain condition and switching to an active mode under another condition is applied. (S26).

Similar to steps S7 and S12, the sleep/active mode applied to step S26 will be described later in detail with reference to the drawings by changing the terms.

Hereinafter, in the process of the present invention described based on FIG. 7, a sleep/active mode that can be applied to steps S7, S12, and S26 will be described in detail.

In this case, the step (S35) of the controller 350 increasing the location information acquisition period of the GPS 320 in proportion to the fact that the movement of at least one object is not detected proceeds.

Accordingly, as the location information acquisition period of the GPS 320 increases, power consumption of the battery 340 may be reduced.

In addition, when the movement is detected while the location information acquisition period is extended (S36), the controller 350 reduces the location information acquisition period in proportion to the movement (S37).

In addition, a step of the communication unit 310 transmitting at least a portion of the location information and the status information to the outside (server 200) proceeds (S33), and step S33 corresponds to step S5 or S24 of FIG. 7 .

Thereafter, as a method of a sleep/active mode, a step S41 in which it is determined that the position change obtained in the cycle is equal to or less than a predetermined value is performed.

In this case, the controller 350 increases the location information acquisition period of the GPS 320 (S42).

Accordingly, as the location information acquisition period of the GPS 320 increases, power consumption of the battery 340 may be reduced.

Thereafter, when it is determined that the position change is greater than or equal to a predetermined value in a state in which the position information acquisition period is extended (S43), the controller 350 reduces the position information acquisition period of the GPS 320 again (S44).

In FIG. 9 , only the application of the sleep/active mode to the GPS 320 is described, but the same method may be applied to the plurality of sensor units 370 and the communication unit 310 .

That is, the controller 350 may increase the sensing period of the plurality of sensors 370 and the communication period of the communication unit 310 when the position change obtained in the period is less than or equal to a predetermined value.

How to operate sleep mode (3)

10 shows another example of a sleep mode operating method applied to the present invention.

The sleep/active mode operation method illustrated in FIG. 10 may be applied to steps S7 and S26.

In addition, a step ( S32 ) of the plurality of sensors 370 sensing the state information of at least one object is performed, and step S32 corresponds to step S2 or S21 of FIG. 7 .

In addition, a step of the communication unit 310 transmitting at least a portion of the location information and the status information to the outside (server 200) proceeds (S33), and step S33 corresponds to step S5 or S24 of FIG. 7 .

Thereafter, as a method of a sleep/active mode, a step S51 in which the movement of at least one object is not detected is performed.

In this case, the control unit 350 increases the first period related to the acquisition of location information of the GPS 320 to a predetermined second period (S52).

Accordingly, as the location information acquisition period of the GPS 320 increases to the second period, power consumption of the battery 340 may be reduced.

Also, when movement is detected while the second period is applied (S53), the controller 350 reduces the second period related to the acquisition of location information of the GPS 320 back to the first period (S54).

In FIG. 10 , only the application of the sleep/active mode to the GPS 320 has been described, but the same method may be applied to the plurality of sensor units 370 and the communication unit 310 .

That is, when the movement of at least one object is not detected, the controller 350 may increase the sensing period of the plurality of sensors 370 and the communication period of the communication unit 310 to a second period.

In addition, when movement is detected while the second period is applied, the controller 350 performs a second period related to sensing state information of at least one object and transmitting at least a portion of location information and state information to the outside. It can be reduced to the first cycle.

11 shows another example of a sleep mode operation method applied to the present invention.

The sleep/active mode operation method illustrated in FIG. 11 may be applied to step S12.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 11 , first, the GPS 320 periodically acquires location information of at least one object ( S31 ), and step S31 corresponds to step S1 of FIG. 7 .

After that, the process of loading the ICT tracking device 300 and the pallet 400 accommodating at least one object is carried out on an airplane (S8), and when the pallet 400 is loaded and moved on a transportation means such as an airplane, Since the operation of grasping the location information of the GPS 320 and the communication operation of the communication unit 310 may be unnecessary steps, in the present invention, the GPS 320 is turned OFF (S9), and the communication unit 310 is also OFF. ) to make it (S11).

Among them, only the operation of the plurality of sensors 370 is turned on to perform sensing of the objects loaded on the pallet 400 .

At this time, when the plurality of sensors 370 repeatedly collect information, and the delivery of the pallet 400 is made or delayed for a long time, the problem that it is difficult to operate the ICT tracking device 300 for a long time due to severe power consumption is again Occurs.

Accordingly, a sleep/active mode operation method is applied as a step S12, and FIG. 11 describes a sleep/active mode operation method of the corresponding step S12.

First, only the sound sensor 371 of the plurality of sensors 370 operates to sense first information of at least one object (S61).

Accordingly, by operating only the sound sensor 371 among the plurality of sensors 370 , power consumption of the battery 340 can be reduced.

In this case, the controller 350 determines whether the generated sound is equal to or greater than a predetermined value based on the first information (S62).

If the sound is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, a step of sensing additional second information related to at least one object by a predetermined second sensor among a plurality of sensors is performed (S63).

Here, the second sensor may include a temperature sensor 373 , a humidity sensor 374 , and an impact sensor 375 .

After that, when the pallet 400 accommodating the ICT tracking device 300 and at least one object is unloaded from the transportation means such as an airplane (S13), the plurality of sensors 370 sensed first while being mounted on the airplane At least part of the information, the second information, and the third information is transmitted to the communication unit 310 (S17), and the communication unit 310 transmits the collected state information under the control of the control unit 350 to the control server 200 becomes (S66, S18).

How to operate sleep mode (5)

12 shows another example of a sleep mode operating method applied to the present invention.

The sleep/active mode operation method illustrated in FIG. 12 may be applied to steps S7, S12, and S26.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 12 , first, the GPS 320 periodically acquires the location information of at least one object ( S31 ), and the step S31 is performed at step S1 or S20 of FIG. 7 . corresponds to

In addition, a step ( S32 ) of the plurality of sensors 370 sensing the state information of at least one object is performed, and step S32 corresponds to step S2 or S21 of FIG. 7 .

In addition, a step of the communication unit 310 transmitting at least a portion of the location information and the status information to the outside (server 200) proceeds (S33), and step S33 corresponds to step S5 or S24 of FIG. 7 .

Thereafter, as a method of a sleep/active mode, a step of switching at least some of the GPS 320 , the plurality of sensors 370 , and the communication unit 310 to the sleep mode is performed ( S71 ).

At this time, at least some of the GPS 320 , the plurality of sensors 370 , and the communication unit 310 may be switched to the active mode under a preset condition and then switched back to the sleep mode ( S72 ).

Meanwhile, in the active mode, when the remaining amount of the battery is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the controller 350 controls the communication unit 310 to transmit the information collected by the GPS 320 and the plurality of sensors 370 to the outside (S73) , the GPS 320 , the plurality of sensors 370 , and the communication unit 310 enter the OFF mode (S83).

Therefore, the power consumption of the battery 340 is minimized through the sleep / active mode, and when the remaining amount of the battery 340 is low, the collected information is preferentially transmitted to prevent loss, and the GPS 320 . , by turning off the plurality of sensors 370 and the communication unit 310 , additional power consumption of the battery 340 may be reduced.

How to track the location using the identifier of the communicated cellular tower

As a method of reducing the power consumption of the battery 340 of the ICT tracking device 300, in recognizing the location information of at least one object, the cellular subscriber identification module (SIM) communicates without using the GPS 320 A method of identifying approximate location information using the tower identifier may be used.

13 shows an example of a method for reducing power consumption applied to the present invention.

In addition, the step of the communication unit 310 transmitting at least a portion of the location information and the status information to the outside (server 200) proceeds (S33).

Thereafter, there may be a case in which precise location information on at least one object is not required and only approximate location information is required.

In this case, in the present invention, in determining the location information of at least one object, rather than using the GPS 320, the subscriber identification module (SIM) uses the identifier of the communication cellular tower to determine approximate location information. , it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the battery 340 of the ICT tracking device 300 .

Referring again to FIG. 13 , when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control unit 350 turns off the power of the GPS 320 ( S81 ).

Thereafter, the controller 350 may determine the location of the at least one object based on the at least one base station information communicated by the communication unit 310 .

Specifically, the location of the ICT tracking device 300 may be tracked using the identifier of the cellular tower with which the subscriber identification module (SIM) communicated.

In this case, compared to when the GPS 320 is used, determining the location with the communication content (identifier) of the SIM consumes less power.

In addition, when the communication unit 310 communicates with three or more base stations, it is also possible to more accurately determine the location of the ICT tracking device 300 according to a trigonometry using the identifiers of three or more cellular towers.

Also, in this case, a method of comparing the relative shaking between a plurality of mounted objects and immediately transmitting that a dangerous situation to the server 200 for an object exceeding a threshold value may be additionally applied.

Thereafter, when precise location information is required, the controller 350 turns on the power of the GPS 320 to obtain location information through the GPS 320 ( S83 ).

How to reduce power consumption (1)

The sensor unit 370 of the ICT tracking device 300 according to the present invention includes a control unit (CPU) clock sensor 379 .

Accordingly, in the present invention, a method of reducing power consumption of the battery 340 may be applied by adjusting the clock circuit of the controller 350 based on information sensed by the controller (CPU) clock sensor 379 .

That is, as a result of determination based on the information sensed by the control unit (CPU) clock sensor 379, the clock circuit is adjusted for a task requiring a small load, so that the battery 340 consumes low power, and a large number of calculations are performed. A method of reducing power consumption of the battery 340 may be applied by allowing the CPU to consume high power for this required heavy task.

How to reduce power consumption (2)

In addition, in the present invention, when the communication unit 310 transmits information to the server 200, the load of the collected sensing data is reduced in general, except when an important event occurs instead of transmitting all the collected information. In order to reduce it, textualized information may be transmitted to the server 200 .

That is, the plurality of pieces of information acquired through the plurality of sensor units 370 may be composed of text, image, and video content.

In general, in the present invention, by transmitting only textualized information among a plurality of information including text, image, and video content to the server 200 , it is possible to reduce a load and reduce power consumption of the battery 340 .

Thereafter, when an important event occurs, all of the plurality of pieces of information including text, image, and video content acquired under the control of the controller 350 may be transmitted to the server 200 .

How to reduce power consumption (3)

In addition, in the present invention, the power level of the battery 340 may be divided into a plurality of levels rather than divided into high and low levels.

For example, when divided into three stages, the first sleep mode can be operated at the high level of the first stage, and the number of components entering the sleep mode more than the first sleep mode at the intermediate level of the second stage A second sleep mode may be operated.

In addition, at the lower level of the third step, a method of operating the third sleep mode in which more components enter the sleep mode than the second sleep mode or turning off the components may be utilized.

How to apply near field communication between pallets

In the prior art, there is a problem that some tracking devices 300 malfunction due to a specific event, and there is no way to prevent information loss.

Therefore, in the present invention, short-distance communication between pallets is applied to solve this problem.

More specifically, by additionally using short-distance communication between a plurality of ICT tracking devices 300 provided in each of a plurality of pallets, it is intended to prevent loss of information collected due to a failure of some ICT tracking devices 300 .

In general, the communication unit 310 included in each of the plurality of ICT tracking devices 300 performs a function of transmitting the collected information to the server 200 through wireless communication.

In the present invention, it is intended to apply a method of additionally performing heterogeneous short-distance communication between a plurality of communication units 310 in addition to the function of the communication unit 310 .

That is, when a situation occurs in which information collected by the corresponding ICT tracking device 300 is lost due to a failure of some ICT tracking device 300, the surrounding ICT tracking device 300 from the corresponding ICT tracking device 300 A method of receiving information collected through short-distance communication and transmitting it to the server 200 through wireless communication may be applied.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a mother device in charge of overall control among the plurality of ICT tracking devices 300 may be designated, and the mother device may be in charge of information collection and communication under specific conditions.

Here, the configuration of the ICT tracking device 300 designated as the mother device can be designed from the beginning so that durability, stability, etc. are stronger than other ICT tracking devices 300 .

How to check the matching between product and pallet and maintain security

In the prior art, there is a problem in that there is no way to check whether the security for the product is maintained and the delivery history in the process of the pallet 400 being delivered.

Therefore, in the present invention, based on the information collected by the plurality of sensors 370, a method of determining whether the pallet 400 is opened during delivery by a predetermined time, place, and authorized person can be applied. .

In addition, the prior art has a problem in that there is no method of determining whether the pre-planned mounting is correct or whether the product and the pallet are suitable for matching.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a method of confirming a match between an object and a container (palette, 400).

14 illustrates an example of a method of confirming a match between an object and a container (palette, 400) applied to the present invention.

Referring to Figure 14, first, the step (S91) of attaching the identification communication unit to at least one object accommodated in the pallet 400 proceeds.

The identification communication unit is capable of short-distance communication, and can be thinly attached to the surface of at least one object in the form of a sticker.

Thereafter, based on the pairing between the communication unit 310 and the identification communication unit of the ICT tracking device 300, a step of determining whether to match between at least one object and the container (palette, 400) proceeds (S92).

That is, a process of checking whether the identifier given to the identification communication unit matches at least one object is performed.

If the matching between at least one object and the container (palette, 400) is incorrect, the communication unit 310 transmits information informing the user terminal 100, the server 200, and the like (S93).

Therefore, by checking in advance whether or not matching between the object and the pallet 400, it is possible to easily solve the problem of incorrect packaging and delivery.

How to deliver information in response to a specific event

The prior art has a problem in that there is no method of delivering information when a specific event occurs, preventing loss of information, and promptly notifying the user and the administrator of the fact.

15 shows an example of an information delivery method corresponding to a specific event applied to the present invention to solve the above problem.

15, when an event such as an error of the pallet 400 or the ICT tracking device 300, abnormal occurrence of temperature, humidity, pressure, etc., or concern about discharging the battery occurs, the communication unit 310 immediately sends the result to the server (200) or the step of transmitting to the terminal 100 proceeds (S101).

At this time, when the transmission of the communication unit 310 fails, the untransmitted contents are accumulated and stored in the memory 360 , and when communication is resumed, it can be transmitted first to the server 200 or the terminal 100 immediately (S102). ).

In addition, the abnormal state information that is preferentially reported may be output through the display unit of the server 200 or the user terminal 300 immediately upon reception (S103).

Furthermore, in the present invention, a method for distinguishing and communicating information frames may also be applied.

The information frame applied to the communication of the present invention may be divided into a location registration frame, a general data frame, and a frame notifying a dangerous situation, and may be utilized.

That is, it becomes possible to quickly identify and respond to an event based on which frame the information is loaded in the location registration frame, the general data frame, or the dangerous situation frame.

In addition, unnecessary information transmission can be reduced, and an emergency can be quickly identified.

How to determine responsibility for product damage that occurs during product loading or unloading

The most damage occurs when the product is loaded or unloaded on an airplane or the like during the delivery process, and there is a problem in that there is no conventional method for promptly identifying this and determining who is responsible.

The present invention is intended to solve this problem, and FIG. 16 shows an example of determining the responsibility for product damage that occurs during loading or unloading of an airplane applied to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 16 , first, the step S111 in which the acceleration value of the pallet 400 sensed by the gyro sensor 372 of the ICT tracking device 300 is determined to be greater than or equal to a predetermined value ( S111 ) proceeds.

In this case, the controller 350 determines the amount of impact applied to the pallet 400 at the time the acceleration value is detected through the impact sensor 375 (S112).

If the sensed impact amount is greater than or equal to a certain value, the control unit 350 determines that the pallet 400 has fallen (S113), location information of the forklift related to the pallet 400, time information and time information at which the impact is applied It requests that the image information of the forklift corresponding to to be transmitted to the server 200 (S114).

Therefore, in the server 200, the acceleration value of the pallet 400 sensed by the gyro sensor 372, the impact value applied to the pallet 400, the position information of the forklift related to the pallet 400, the time information when the impact is applied, and Based on the image information of the forklift corresponding to the time information, it is possible to easily determine who is responsible for product damage that occurs during loading or unloading of an airplane (S115).

Real-time arrival information and grouping information service

The prior art has a problem in that it is difficult to deliver real-time information in the process of a guide arriving to an airplane and a guide delivered to a user after unloading from the airplane.

Therefore, in the present invention, when moving to be loaded on an airplane or being unloaded from an airplane and delivered to a customer, a method of providing guidance such as arrival time by reflecting current traffic information in real time may be applied.

In addition, the prior art has a problem in that there is no method of providing information by matching information on a user or object in a group unit other than 1:1 information matching between a product and a user.

The present invention intends to provide a method for solving this problem, and FIGS. 17 and 18 show an example of a grouping service applied to the present invention.

The methods of FIGS. 17 and 18 correspond to steps S6, S19, or S25 of FIG. 7 .

First, referring to FIG. 17 , the server 200 provides information received from the ICT tracking device 300 in the pallet 400 to the user terminal 100 ( S121 ).

At this time, the user may designate a plurality of objects among at least one object accommodated in the palette 400 as the first group through the terminal 100 (S122), and in this case, the server 200 is included in the first group. Information on a plurality of objects may be provided together to the user terminal (S123).

Next, referring to FIG. 18 , the server 200 provides information received from the ICT tracking device 300 in the pallet 400 to the user terminal 100 ( S121 ).

At this time, the plurality of first terminals among the plurality of user terminals 100 may be designated as objects of interest for the first object among at least one object accommodated in the palette 400 (S131), in this case, the server 200 may provide information on the first object together to the plurality of first terminals (S132).
