Action learning navigation system and method

The present invention is a mobile learning navigation system and method, and more particularly to a navigation system that provides a user with a mobile communication device to obtain learning information within a specific signal range.

In general, if you want to find the activities and time of a specific location, you often need to check the Internet or need to know the instant news at any time, but it is not very convenient. With the development of communication technology and the ability of handheld communication devices to locate, communicate and access the Internet, a Location-Based Service (LBS) has been developed, which can be generated based on the user's handheld communication device. The location information provides information about the location, in particular by means of satellite positioning or a mobile communication base station to determine the location, so that the server providing the service can transmit the relevant service for the range of the determined location.

Such services, in particular, obtain the location information (geographic coordinates) of mobile terminal users through radio communication networks (such as GSM networks, CDMA networks) or external positioning methods (such as global satellite positioning, GPS) set up by mobile operators. Supported by the Information System (GIS) platform, a value-added service that provides users with corresponding services.

There is a known location technology, such as the mobile location network service positioning advertisement system disclosed in the Republic of China New Patent Publication No. M348288 (Announcement Date: 2009/01/01), which is based on the application of location-based services. The coordinates of the location of the client device are related to the advertisement.

The figure shows a first merchant base station 11 covering the range 101, covering The second merchant base station 13 of the range 103 and the third merchant base station 15 covering the range 105 have a certain space for each of the base stations, and different areas have different geographically relevant information.

Under the concept of the location-based service described above, when the mobile communication terminal 10 enters a specific communication range, the mobile communication terminal 10 will be detected by the associated base station, so that the location-related commercial advertisement can be transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 10. Therefore, the user of the mobile communication terminal 10 will receive information related to the area, and the service can increase the effectiveness of the advertisement.

The concept of location-based service (LBS) can provide information that is more in line with the requirements. In particular, the present invention proposes a technique for providing learning information by using location information. Under normal circumstances, school students who want to know about the activities, lectures or course content held in the school need to find the location and time related to the course or activity through the bulletin board of the school entity or the bulletin board published on the website. It is time consuming and difficult to get accurate and immediate information. Therefore, the action learning navigation system and method proposed by the present invention can provide learner useful and immediate learning information, and can simultaneously provide various information and services related to the location.

According to an embodiment, the main features of the action learning navigation system include a user database, a learning information database, and an interface server. The user database records the personal data of a plurality of users, and the personal data can be corresponding to the received communication code of the user. The learning information database records various learning information corresponding to a plurality of locations. After receiving the location information transmitted by the terminal, the learning information of the location, especially the course information, can be compared. Interface server provides users with mobile communication The interface of the device connection includes receiving the positioning information transmitted by each user, and transmitting the learning information corresponding to the position after the corresponding position.

In particular, the positioning information is mainly the satellite positioning information of the mobile communication device held by each user, and the location information of the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can be transmitted after entering the building, and the corresponding location information is transmitted.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the mobile learning navigation system includes one or more mobile communication devices with communication codes, wherein the positioning module can generate positioning information, and use the communication module to connect the remote server to connect data. The processing module generates data for external communication. The system also includes a learning information center, which mainly provides multiple information. The location information unit records a plurality of location information in a specific area. The user identification information unit records a plurality of user data, mainly through a communication code. Correspond to personal data. There is also a course information unit and a time information unit that provide learning information.

The system is a learning navigation system with location information of the mediation mobile communication device and various personalized information according to the location. After receiving the positioning information and the communication code transmitted by the mobile communication device, the system can compare various types in the learning information center. Information, information about the location of the return, including general information about the learning information and location.

The mobile learning navigation method proposed by the present invention includes starting a learning navigation system program before the mobile communication device, and positioning through the satellite outdoors, and positioning the position through the wireless base station indoors, for example, by using the setting.
