Description

{Indoor Route Guide System Based On Tag and Method Thereof}

The present invention relates to a tag-based route guidance system and method, and more particularly, in an indoor environment such as an event hall or a department store where the current user's location is not accurately identified by GPS, beacons, etc., a user conveniently guides his/her destination It relates to a tag-based route guidance system and method that can receive and intuitively receive notification of event information related to a corresponding indoor environment.

Although it is not possible to identify a user's location indoors using GPS, a method for identifying a user's location inside a building and guiding a route to a desired place is required due to the enlargement of the building and the complexity of the building structure.

Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0073040 discloses a technique for guiding a path indoors using an indoor lighting lamp. However, since the prior art requires a configuration that is not generally used, such as a light and a beacon for transmitting an ID, an additional device for guiding a route indoors is costly.

In addition, when a customer wants to visit a company inside a building from the outside, it is inconvenient to use a navigation system to move to the building, find an entrance from the building, and then operate a separate indoor route guide device.

Accordingly, there is a demand for a method capable of guiding a route indoors without a separate additional device and linking a route from the outdoors to a specific place indoors.

A conventional approach for guiding a route in an environment where GPS signals are not accurate, such as indoors, uses a Bluetooth beacon to determine the user's location using triangulation, etc., and the route to the destination based on the determined location of the user. Methods have been proposed to derive and transmit to a user's mobile terminal to guide it.

However, most realistically, the location determination method based on the Bluetooth-based RSSI value has a large error, so it is difficult to determine the user's exact location, and there are also problems that beacons must be installed at a plurality of points. Therefore, there is a problem that the indoor guidance based on such a beacon system causes a high cost during installation.

Meanwhile, Korean Patent No. 10-1269733 discloses an apparatus and method for continuously guiding and generating a route from an outdoor to a specific place inside a building by tracking a location using both GPS and Wi-Fi. However, even in this case, a separate Wi-Fi device for determining the user's location must be installed at each point, and location measurement based on Wi-Fi also has the same problem as a beacon. There is a problem in that it is not possible to accurately guide the route to an actual user because it cannot be measured.

In addition, in the case of the indoor route guidance system as described above, related beacons or sensors must be installed at a department store or an event hall (eg, COEX Mall) where the corresponding system is to be installed, and a service server must be operated. Therefore, although installation and operation costs are incurred for this, there is a problem that it is difficult for the subject operating the system to pay the installation and operating cost for the department store or event center subject simply for convenience improvement, so it has not been applied in reality.

In addition, the existing system installs a separate application and requires procedures such as membership registration and log-in. There was a problem.
