DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The detailed description of the present invention which follows refers to the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the present invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable one skilled in the art to practice the present invention. It should be understood that the various embodiments of the present invention are different from each other but are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, specific shapes, structures, and characteristics described herein may be implemented in one embodiment in another embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, it should be understood that the location or arrangement of individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the detailed description set forth below is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention, if properly described, is limited only by the appended claims, along with all equivalents as claimed by those claims. Like reference numbers in the drawings indicate the same or similar function throughout the various aspects.

1 is a conceptual diagram schematically illustrating an operation of a system for limiting use of a user terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a system 1000 for limiting use of a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a user terminal 100, a service server 200, and a compensation server 300. However, as will be described later, a service may be performed without some configuration (eg, a service server). For example, the functions of the service server 200 described later may be included in the compensation server 300 and implemented without a separate service server.

First, the user terminal 100 obtains at least a part of information on the number of steps per unit time of a user carrying the user terminal 100, location information of the user terminal 100, and moving speed information of the user terminal 100, When the number of steps per hour or movement speed exceeds a predetermined range (number of steps > α or movement speed > β) or it is determined that the user is in a specific location, such information may be transmitted to the service server 200 . For example, when the user terminal 100 is located in a crosswalk area or the moving speed of the user terminal 100 exceeds a predetermined speed, the user terminal 100 may transmit this information to the service server 200. However, unlike this, the user terminal 100 provides the location information of the user terminal 100 to the service server 200, and the service server 200 determines whether the user terminal 100 is in a specific location or the user terminal It may be implemented to determine the moving speed of (100). In addition, as will be described later, when the user terminal 100 receives identification information from a beacon, the user terminal 100 transfers the identification information of the received beacon to the service server 200 so that the service server 200 may support determining location information or movement speed of the user terminal 100 .

The service server 200 determines that the number of steps or movement speed of the user per unit time exceeds a predetermined range (number of steps > α or movement speed > β) or that the user is in a specific location, the user terminal 100 sends the user It is possible to support limiting the operation of a specific function of the terminal 100 . In other words, if the user's number of steps per unit time or moving speed exceeds a predetermined range or it is determined that the user is in a specific location, the service server 200 issues a command to the user terminal 100 to restrict the operation of a specific function. By transmitting, the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be limited. In the above example, when the user terminal 100 is located in a crosswalk area or the moving speed of the user terminal 100 exceeds a predetermined speed, the service server 200 displays a game app or web browser operating in the user terminal 100. A command to stop the operation of may be transmitted to the user terminal 100 . Also, in this case, the service server 200 may transmit information about operation restrictions of the specific function to the compensation server 300 .

However, as will be described later, the present invention can also be implemented without the service server 200. In this case, the user terminal 100 is used when the user's number of steps per unit time or moving speed exceeds a predetermined range or when the user is at a specific location. If it is determined, the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be restricted through a specific application installed in the user terminal 100 . Unlike this, it is also possible to directly restrict the operation of a specific function through the operating system.

After that, the user terminal 100 may transmit information about operation restrictions of a specific function to the compensation server 300 .

On the other hand, if the user cannot arbitrarily delete the specific application and the user terminal 100 does not have a usage restriction record for more than a predetermined time (eg, 3 days), the service server 200, the board of the user terminal 100 A confirmation message may be transmitted to the user terminal 100 when it is determined that a problem such as deletion of a specific application due to replacement has occurred. In addition, if there is no long-term use restriction record (for example, 7 days or more), a message confirming whether to withdraw may be transmitted to the user.

The compensation server 300 may obtain information on operation restrictions of a specific function, and generate compensation information for the user of the user terminal 100 according to the obtained operation limitation degree of the specific function. For example, the compensation server 300 may grant mileage to the user when the user does not use the user terminal 100 for a predetermined time or more while walking. This will be explained in more detail later.

As such, the present invention promotes safety by limiting the operation of the user terminal 100 when the user is at a specific location or is moving at a predetermined moving speed or higher, and provides compensation corresponding to the operation restriction of the user terminal 100. By doing so, users can voluntarily participate in the service.

Hereinafter, the technical configuration and operation of the present invention will be described in more detail.

2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , a user terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a processor 110 and a communication unit 120 .

Here, the user terminal 100 is a mobile device capable of communicating with other devices connected to the network and inputting/outputting data, and among smart phones, smart glasses, smart watches, laptop computers, tablet PCs, wearable devices, and cellular phones can be any one

The processor 110 is a component capable of executing or limiting a specific function of the user terminal 100 . Specifically, the processor 110 obtains at least some of information on the number of steps per unit time of a user carrying the user terminal 100, location information of the user terminal 100, and moving speed information of the user terminal 100, When the number of steps or movement speed per unit time exceeds a predetermined range or it is determined that the user is in a specific location, the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be restricted.

In this case, information on the number of steps per unit time of the user may be calculated using information obtained by a motion sensor (eg, an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor) of the user terminal 100 or a wearable device connected to the user terminal 100. there is. Here, the wearable device is a wearable device capable of communicating with the user terminal 100 and may be smart glasses, a smart watch, a band wearable on the body, a glove, a capsule in the body, or other wearable devices.

In addition, the location information of the user terminal 100 or the moving speed information of the user terminal 100 may include a GPS sensor of the user terminal 100, at least one beacon within a predetermined distance range from the user terminal 100, It may be calculated using gear shift information of the vehicle or information obtained from an electronic control unit (ECU) in the vehicle. When location information or movement speed information is calculated using vehicle gear shifting information (when gear shifting other than parking) or information obtained from the ECU in the vehicle, use of the user terminal 100 within the vehicle is restricted as will be described later. in case it becomes

The processor 110 performs a function of controlling data flow of the communication unit 120 and other configurations of the user terminal 100, which will be described later. That is, the processor 110 controls the flow of data between each component of the user terminal 100 to perform unique functions in the communication unit 120 and other components.

The processor 110 may include a hardware configuration such as a micro processing unit (MPU) or a central processing unit (CPU), a cache memory, and a data bus. In addition, it may further include a software configuration of an operating system and an application that performs a specific purpose.

The communication unit 120 transmits operation restriction information of a specific function to the compensation server 300 so that compensation is made according to the operation limitation degree of the specific function, or transmits identification information of a beacon to the service server 200 as will be described later, thereby providing service. The server 200 may support transmission of motion restriction information to the compensation server 300 .

Hereinafter, an embodiment of limiting the operation of the user terminal 100 using a beacon will be described in more detail by dividing the user into a case of walking and a case of driving a vehicle. In each case, the service server 200 and the compensation server 300 may be integrally configured as described below, or may be configured separately.

3 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which an operation of a user terminal is limited by calculating location information or moving speed information of a user terminal using a beacon while the user is walking.

Referring to FIG. 3, when the user terminal 100 receives identification information from at least one beacon 400 by being located within a predetermined distance range A from at least one beacon 400, the user based on this The location of the terminal 100 may be determined or the movement speed may be calculated. That is, when the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range from the beacon 400, as shown in FIG. 3, it is possible to receive identification information from the beacon 400, and the communication unit 120 of the user terminal 100 ) may transmit the received identification information to the service server 200. A beacon is a short-range communication terminal that transmits a message to the user terminal 100 within a radius of 0.5 m to 70 m. In order to receive the identification information from the beacon 400, the user terminal 100 must maintain a Bluetooth ON state. The service server 200 can identify the beacon 400 through the received identification information, and determine the location of the user terminal 100 based on the location information of the identified beacon 400 . When the user terminal 100 sequentially receives identification information from a plurality of beacons 400 and transmits the information to the service server 200, the service server 200 provides location information of the plurality of beacons and time information at which the identification information was received. The movement speed of the user terminal 100 may be calculated with reference to .

At this time, if the user's number of steps per unit time or moving speed exceeds a predetermined range or it is determined that the user terminal 100 is located in a specific location, the service server 200 causes the user terminal 100 to return to the user terminal 100 It can support to limit the operation of a specific function of. That is, the service server 200 may restrict the operation of other applications or functions by operating a specific application in the user terminal 100 by transmitting a command to the user terminal 100 .

Meanwhile, when the service server 200 is not provided, the user terminal 100 may determine location information or movement speed by itself. That is, when the user terminal 100 receives identification information from at least one beacon 400, the processor 110 of the user terminal 100 identifies the at least one beacon 400, and through this, the user terminal 100 position can be determined. In addition, when receiving identification information from a plurality of beacons in sequence, the processor 110 calculates the moving speed of the user terminal 100 with reference to the location information of the plurality of beacons and the time information at which the identification information is received can

At this time, if the number of steps per unit time or moving speed exceeds a predetermined range or it is determined that the user terminal 100 is located in a specific location, the processor 110 of the user terminal 100, a specific application installed in the user terminal 100 It is possible to restrict the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 through. Of course, it will also be possible to restrict the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 through the operation of the operating system rather than a specific application.

Meanwhile, although the location information or moving speed of the user terminal 100 may be determined using the beacon 400 as described above, it may also be determined through the GPS function of the user terminal 100 or a wearable device connected thereto. That is, location information and movement speed information of the user terminal 100 may be calculated through GPS information obtained from a GPS module (not shown) of the user terminal 100 .

In addition, various short-range communication technologies other than the aforementioned beacon 400 may be used.

Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 3 , the communication unit 120 of the user terminal 100 may preferentially transmit identification information received from the beacon 400 to a beacon manager (not shown). The beacon manager may manage at least one beacon 400, receive identification information to directly determine the moving speed or location information of the user terminal 100, or transmit the received identification information to the service server 200 to determine the location information. You can also assist in performing the action. If the beacon manager can simultaneously serve as a beacon, the beacon manager replaces the beacon and can be connected to the Internet and monitor other beacons.

The communication unit 110 of the user terminal 100 transmits operation restriction information of a specific function to the compensation server 300 or identifies the beacon 400 to the service server 200 so that compensation is made according to the operation limitation degree of the specific function. By transmitting the information, the service server 200 may support transmission of operation restriction information.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of limiting the operation of the user terminal 100 by recognizing a driving situation will be described.

4 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment in which an operation of a user terminal is limited by calculating location information and moving speed information of a user terminal using a beacon while driving a vehicle.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range B from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10, the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be restricted. can Specifically, when the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range B from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10, the communication unit 120 identifies it from the at least one beacon 400'. Information may be received and the received identification information may be transmitted to the service server 200 . The service server 200 identifies the beacon 400' through the received identification information, and can locate the user terminal 100 based on the location information of the identified beacon 400' (in the vehicle). positioning). Of course, in some cases, when the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range B from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10, the moving speed of the user terminal 100 is within the predetermined range. The operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be limited only when it exceeds . Meanwhile, the processor 110 of the user terminal 100 may obtain location information of the user terminal 100 by activating a GPS function, or transmit the location information to the service server 200 through the communication unit 120. .

In addition, when the user terminal 100 sequentially receives identification information from a plurality of beacons (not shown) outside the vehicle 10 and transmits the identification information to the service server 200, the service server 200 determines the location of the plurality of beacons. The movement speed of the user terminal 100 may be calculated with reference to the time information at which the information and the identification information were received. In contrast, when the processor 110 of the user terminal 100 activates the GPS function to obtain location information of the user terminal 100, the moving speed of the user terminal 100 (or vehicle) is calculated based on this. may be Also, as described above, the moving speed may be calculated using gear shift information of the vehicle 10 (when gear shifts other than parking) or information acquired from the ECU in the vehicle 10 . In this case, a separate IoT device may be mounted in the vehicle 10 .

For example, the service server 200 determines that the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range B from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10, and the moving speed of the user terminal 100 is set to a predetermined distance. If it exceeds the range of , the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be restricted. However, if either of the two conditions is not satisfied, that is, the user terminal 100 is out of a predetermined distance (B) range from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10, or the user terminal 100 If the moving speed of the user falls below a predetermined range, the operation restriction of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be released. While driving, the use of all functions other than specific functions (examples) such as navigation, voice call reception, emergency rescue call outgoing, and audio listening may be restricted.

Meanwhile, when the service server 200 is not provided, the user terminal 100 may determine location information or movement speed by itself. That is, when the user terminal 100 receives identification information from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10, the processor 110 of the user terminal 100 identifies the at least one beacon 400' Through this, the location of the user terminal 100 in the vehicle 10 can be determined. In addition, when the identification information is sequentially received from a plurality of beacons installed outside the vehicle 10, the processor 110 refers to the location information of the plurality of beacons and the time information at which the identification information is received, and the user terminal 100 The movement speed of can be calculated. Of course, even in this case, location information and movement speed may be calculated through the GPS module of the user terminal 100 as described above.

At this time, when the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range B from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10 and the moving speed of the user terminal 100 exceeds a predetermined range, the user terminal ( The processor 110 of 100 may limit the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 through a specific application installed in the user terminal 100 . Of course, operation restrictions of specific functions may be made at the operating system level.

Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 4 , the communication unit 120 of the user terminal 100 may preferentially transmit the identification information received from the beacon 400' in the vehicle 10 to a beacon manager (not shown). The beacon manager may manage at least one beacon 400', receive identification information to directly determine the moving speed or location information of the user terminal 100, or transmit the received identification information to the service server 200 to You can also support to perform the above operation.

Meanwhile, even when the user terminal 100 is located within a predetermined distance range from at least one beacon 400' in the vehicle 10 and the moving speed of the user terminal 100 exceeds the predetermined range, the identified user's The operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be restricted only for the user terminal 100 .

One of the simple methods for identifying a user may be to register a user terminal of at least one user using the vehicle 10 by matching it with the beacon 400'. That is, at least one user terminal may be matched to one beacon 400'. In this case, operation restrictions may be made for all user terminals matched to the same beacon 400'.

Unlike this, vehicle information, driver information, information on the driver's user terminal 100, etc. may be pre-registered in the service server 200, and identification information of the beacon 400' received from the user terminal 100 of the driver and When the vehicle 10 and the driver are identified according to the identification information of the user terminal 100, the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 may be restricted.

In this way, identification of the user may be performed through identification information of the user terminal 100, but using identification information obtained according to the result of recognizing the user by a separate user recognition device (not shown) mounted in the vehicle 10. may be performed by For example, when a user's face is recognized through a camera of a black box installed in the vehicle 10, identification information corresponding to the recognized face is transmitted to the service server 200 or the user terminal 100 so that user identification is performed. It can be done. Also, in this case, the moving speed of the vehicle 10 may be calculated through the GPS function of the black box.

Meanwhile, identification of the user may also be performed for the auxiliary user if information on the auxiliary user of the vehicle 10 is registered in the service server 200 or the user recognizing device, if necessary. For example, information on the user terminal 100 of a family member who drives the corresponding vehicle 10 may be registered. However, such information may be input through a dictionary information storage DB. If necessary, the main user information of the vehicle 10 may be fixed by default and the auxiliary user information may be changed.

In addition, a search distance at which the beacon 400' can transmit identification information to the user terminal 100 may be designated. That is, in consideration of the structure of the vehicle 10, use of the user terminal 100 while driving may be restricted only within the driver's seat space as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 4 . Alternatively, the user's location may be classified according to the strength of the transmission signal, or a plurality of beacons may be placed, and users may be classified and registered so that each user may be restricted in use differently. When the beacon 400' is removed in order to prevent the arbitrary position movement of the beacon 400', it may not operate.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned at least one beacon 400 or 400' transmits the remaining battery amount information to the user terminal 100 or the service server 200 when the remaining battery amount falls below a predetermined value or at predetermined time intervals. It can even tell you when to replace the battery.

On the other hand, operation restrictions for specific functions of the user terminal 100 depend on the age of the user possessing the user terminal 100, the location of the user terminal 100, the user's accident record, other user characteristics, and the user terminal 100. It may be different according to at least one of the types of restricted target applications operating in .

Specifically, when the user is young or old, the threshold of the movement speed may be lowered and the degree of usage limitation may be increased. In addition, by utilizing IoT infrastructure (eg, a beacon), a restricted area for use of the user terminal 100 while walking may be separately designated, and may be preferentially applied to a relatively high-risk area. For example, when the user of the user terminal 100 passes through a crosswalk zone, the use of the user terminal 100 may be restricted, and a crosswalk with a high risk of accident (eg, a round-trip 8-lane road) is given priority to a crosswalk. can be applied In contrast, in the case of walking on a street without a vehicle, the above restrictions may be lifted. In addition, the use of the user terminal 100 may be restricted in an area with stairs. In addition, it can be preferentially applied to public institution buildings, schools, hospitals, and resident personnel in specific buildings, and the use of the user terminal 100 is restricted within a predetermined distance from the ride limit line of public transportation such as trains, subways, and subways. You may. In addition, the degree of use restriction may be different depending on whether there is a history of causing an accident by using the user terminal 100 while walking. In addition, while walking, the use of all functions other than specific functions (examples) such as navigation, voice call reception, emergency call outgoing, and audio listening may be restricted.

On the other hand, when the degree of restriction on the use of the user terminal 100 is different for each individual, the policy may be given remotely using Mobile Device Management (MDM).

In addition, individual use restriction records may be inquired. For example, it is possible to search the cumulative record using the usage restriction function by date, time, and period.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the service server 200 will be described. However, the content overlapping with the previous description is omitted.

Referring to FIG. 6 , a compensation server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a communication unit 310 , a database management unit 320 and a processor 330 .

The communication unit 310 is a component that obtains information about operation restrictions of a specific function of the user terminal 100 . Specifically, the communication unit 310 obtains at least a part of information on the number of steps per unit time of a user carrying the user terminal 100, location information of the user terminal 100, and moving speed information of the user terminal 100, If the number of steps per unit time or the moving speed exceeds a predetermined range or if the operation of a specific function of the user terminal 100 is restricted because it is determined that the user terminal 100 is located in a specific location, the operation of the specific function is restricted. information can be obtained.

The database management unit 320 is a component that generates and stores compensation information for a user of the user terminal 100 according to the operation restriction level of the specific function obtained above. In this case, the compensation may be at least a part of discounts on insurance premiums or communication charges, provision of additional services, donation in the customer's name, provision of reward rankings, payment of Internet data, and provision of coupons.

The processor 330 performs a function of controlling the flow of data between the communication unit 310 and the database management unit 320 . That is, the processor 330 controls the communication unit 310 and the database management unit 320 to perform unique functions by controlling the flow of data between each component of the compensation server 300 .

The processor 330 may include a hardware configuration such as a micro processing unit (MPU) or a central processing unit (CPU), a cache memory, and a data bus. In addition, it may further include a software configuration of an operating system and an application that performs a specific purpose.

First of all, compensation according to use restriction of the user terminal 100 while walking will be described first.

According to the present invention, an incentive program linked with an insurance company (eg, life/accident insurance) operating the compensation server 300 may be operated. For example, in order to arouse interest for continuous voluntary participation of customers, the usage limit time of the user terminal 100 while walking may be converted into mileage. For example, 1 mileage can be accumulated per 10 minutes, and a value of 1 won can be assigned to 10 mileage points. However, it is possible to give incentives to customers with a fixed rate compensation, or to provide compensation in the form of donations to social contribution funds (for example, traffic accident victims support fund). In this case, it is possible to prevent the user from changing the usage restriction mode of the user terminal 100 in order to prevent the user's arbitrary manipulation.

In addition, a reward ranking may be assigned and provided. The reward ranking may be provided for all members using the use restriction service, for each age group, for each region, for each graduate school, and for each company. In this case, reward ranking information may be displayed in real time by matching with personal information provided by the user.

In addition, the database management unit 320 of the compensation server 300 may generate compensation information by referring to at least a part of a user's characteristics and an agreement between the user and the compensation server 300 operator.

For example, the mileage setting may be differentiated and designed in various ways according to customer characteristics. To this end, the user terminal 100 and the user information DB may be linked. In addition, while accumulating mileage in the same way as above, a temporary discount on insurance premiums may be applied at the time of insurance renewal contract for the next year or the following year.

In addition, the communication unit 310 of the compensation server 300 provides the generated compensation information to the user terminal 100 or the service server 200 to obtain the generated compensation information through the user terminal 100 or another terminal. We can assist you to check. For example, the above cumulative mileage information can be viewed in the app of the user terminal 100 whenever the use limit of the user terminal 100 ends, and can be inquired at any time when the user wants.

In addition, the communication unit 310 may support compensation through other compensation servers by transmitting the generated compensation information to other compensation servers. For example, the mileage accumulated as described above may be converted into discount coupons of other industries that are business partners for a certain scale or for a certain period of time so that it can be used.

In addition, a mobile communication company can attract mobile communication customers in the same way as in the above example, and subscribe to mobile communication services and install beacons at mobile communication agencies nationwide. In this case, log data on usage restrictions of the user terminal 100 may be collected and analyzed, enabling more reliable operation. In addition, when mileage is provided as internet usage data, etc., there is an advantage in that it is highly effective compared to the investment cost and has the advantage of having expertise in implementing and operating the present invention. In addition, the effect of building an image that emphasizes customer safety in using the user terminal 100 may be greater than operating in other industries (eg, insurance companies). In addition, communication fees may be discounted when the service is used through a special agreement on communication fees.

However, in the present invention, a subject capable of rewarding a user for using the service is not limited to an insurance company or a mobile communication company.

Next, a similar form of compensation may be made even when the use of the user terminal 100 is restricted while the vehicle 10 is driving.

In the case of installing the beacon in the vehicle 10, a mobile communication store employee may directly install the beacon in the car, thereby minimizing additional labor costs.

In addition, similar to the above-described embodiment (compensation for limiting use of the user terminal while walking), the limited time for using the user terminal 100 while driving may be converted into mileage. Similarly, you can earn 10 mileage per 10 minutes and give a value of 1 won per 10 mileage. In this way, incentives can be given to customers with fixed compensation, or compensation can be given in the form of donations to social contribution funds (for example, traffic accident victim support funds). In addition, to prevent user's arbitrary manipulation, it is possible to prevent the user from changing the usage restriction mode of the app.

In addition, similar to the above example, the database management unit 320 of the compensation server 300 may generate compensation information by referring to at least a part of the user's characteristics and the agreement between the user and the compensation server 300 operator. For example, mileage calculation can be differentiated and designed in various ways in consideration of driving characteristics of customers' vehicles, such as commercial vehicles and non-commercial vehicles. To this end, the app of the user terminal 100 and the user information DB may be linked. In addition, while accumulating mileage in the same way as above, a temporary discount on insurance premiums may be applied at the time of insurance renewal contract for the next year or the following year.

In addition, the communication unit 310 of the compensation server 300 provides the generated compensation information to the user terminal 100 or the service server 200 to obtain the generated compensation information through the user terminal 100 or another terminal. We can assist you to check. For example, the above cumulative mileage information can be viewed on the user terminal 100 every time the use limit of the user terminal 100 ends, and can be inquired at any time when the user desires.

In addition, the communication unit 310 may support compensation through other compensation servers by transmitting the generated compensation information to other compensation servers. For example, the accumulated mileage may be converted into discount coupons of other industries that are business partners over a certain scale or for a certain period of time so that they can be used. Partners can be diverse, but there can be a synergistic effect when linked to vehicles or health-related industries. A partner could be a car repair shop or a tire maintenance company.

The compensation may be provided for each user according to user selection or may be provided collectively to a plurality of users. In addition, vehicle information, personal information, and user terminal 100 information associated with automobile insurance may be registered in the service server 200 or compensation server 300 . In this case, it is possible to additionally input user terminal 100 information of a family member who drives the vehicle 10 together, and it is also possible to accumulate integrated mileage by summing up the use of additional registered family members (records of user terminal usage restrictions while driving). there is.

In addition, a mobile communication company can attract mobile communication customers in the same way as in the above example, and service subscription and beacon installation of the user terminal 100 can be performed at mobile communication agencies nationwide. In this case, it is also possible to collect and analyze log data on usage restrictions of the user terminal 100, enabling more reliable operation. In addition, when mileage is provided as Internet usage data, etc., there is an advantage in that it is highly effective compared to the investment cost, and there is an advantage in having expertise in implementing and operating the present invention. Compared to operating in other industries (eg, insurance companies), the effect of building an image that emphasizes customer safety in using the user terminal 100 may be greater. In addition, communication fees may be discounted when the service is used through a special agreement on communication fees. In this case, it may perform a role of managing and verifying whether the user terminal 100 prohibition of use while driving as prescribed by law has been complied with, and the government may subsidize the mobile communication service provider for communication fee discounts.

In addition, the safe mode mileage accumulation and ranking may be disclosed through the Internet in real time or shared among user terminals. This motivates users and guarantees transparent rewards.

In the present invention, a subject capable of rewarding a user for using the service is not limited to an insurance company or a mobile communication company.
