Description

Apparatus and method for uploading posts based on location using SNS}

The present invention relates to a device and method for uploading posts using SNS, and in particular, uploading location-based posts using SNS, which allows uploading posts such as checking posts, clicking likes, and leaving comments using SNS only in the corresponding location area based on location. It relates to devices and methods.

Recently, as the Internet and smartphones have become popular, network communication between individuals has become active, and the public's desire to disclose and view private life is continuously increasing. In line with such social trends, social networking services are growing as a channel for communication between individuals and a place for information sharing.

Examples of such social networking services (SNS) include messenger services focusing on one-to-one communication such as KakaoTalk and LINE, blogs that allow long posts such as Tistory and EGLOOS, and Examples include microblogs that focus on sharing photos and short articles, such as Facebook and Twitter.

However, the main purpose of messenger services is one-to-one communication, making it difficult to share information widely, and blogs are generally written and provided by professional bloggers, which results in one-way information delivery, allowing for faster exchange and consumption of information. Because it does not fit the trend, it is not functioning as a place to share a wide range of personal experiences.

Meanwhile, a method of serving location-based blogs in a digital map environment is also being implemented recently. In the case of location-based services, a user logs into a geoportal provided by a digital map-based platform operator, for example, a map service provided by Naver or Daum, selects a specific object such as a building or facility, and then provides attribute information based on the provided form. There was a service that allowed users to input or upload photos or other information and share it with multiple users. As a descendant of these services, there is a service that selects some points on a digital map and draws lines or uploads photos, videos, etc. to create a more colorful map and share it.

However, in the case of the conventional location-based service, the blog is not based on location, so it cannot provide a more complete service linked to location. In other words, location-based information search, analysis, and sharing are provided very comprehensively regardless of location. This is because the service was designed in a way that simply connects location information related to uploaded content, considering location information as supplementary to blog content.
