EXAMPLE

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic guide system according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an administrator terminal 210, a network address sharer 200, a guide information management server 100, and a customer communication terminal 220. It is composed. In the description of this embodiment, the customer visits the museum and checks guide information about the museum. This will be described as an example.

Here, the network address sharer 200 converts the internal network address into an external network address in a request signal of at least one internal network device to which the internal network address is allocated and transmits the external network address to the external network.

The internal network address may correspond to, for example, a private internet protocol address, and the external network address may correspond to a public internet protocol address.

That is, the network address sharer 200 serves as a relay and a gateway when internal network devices having a private IP address are connected to the external network, and the address of the signal transmitted to the external network, that is, the originating address is a private IP address. Is to convert the IP address into a public IP address and send it.

However, a public IP address can be assigned to, for example, an Internet line provider. Among the assigned IP addresses, there are fixed IP addresses, but there are also floating IP addresses.

The fixed IP address corresponds to a fixed address that does not change even when the network address sharer 200 is rebooted or passes over time. However, a floating IP address may be rebooted or rebooted after a time when the network address sharer 200 is powered off. If it passes, it corresponds to an address that can be changed to another address.

That is, the external network address (for example, the public IP address) of the network address sharer 200 may be changed periodically or aperiodically according to the selection of the Internet line provider supporting the external network connection. More detailed description thereof will be provided later.

In addition, the network address sharer 200 performs a function of assigning private IP addresses to internal network devices, where the internal network device includes a customer communication terminal 220 as well as an administrator terminal 210 to be described later.

Of course, the distinction between a private IP address and a public IP address is just one example, and all requests for transmission of a request signal from devices using different IP addresses on the internal network to the external network using any one external IP address. In this case, the network address sharer 200 of the present embodiment may be used.

The manager terminal 210 transmits the location information registration request signal including the manager authentication information to the guide information management server 100 of the external network through the network address sharer 200 according to the command of the manager.

Here, the manager terminal 210 is a terminal belonging to the internal network based on the network address sharer 200 as described above, for example, a terminal operated by an operation manager of the museum. For example, the operation manager may transmit the operation information to the guide information management server 100 by operating the manager terminal 210 and inputting authentication information each time. have.

The authentication information may include, for example, login information including a user ID and a password list.

However, when the manager terminal 210 transmits the location information registration request signal to the guide information management server 100 as a terminal belonging to the internal network, the manager terminal 210 has no choice but to pass through the network address sharer 200. The address (for example, private IP address) of the administrator terminal 210 included in the network is converted into an external network network address (for example, public IP address) by the network address sharer 200.

Therefore, the location information registration request signal received by the guide information management server 100 includes an external network address by the operation of the network address sharer 200, not an internal network address which is the original address of the manager terminal 210. It is included. When the manager terminal 210 also periodically changes or changes the external network address of the network address sharer 200 through communication with the guide information management server 100, the network address sharer 200 is determined. It also performs the function of retransmitting the location information round request signal to the guide information management server (100).

For example, the manager terminal 210 periodically requests the voice response signal to the guide information management server 100, and when the guide information management server 100 does not transmit the voice response signal within a preset time, the network address sharer ( If it is determined that the power supply to the network address sharer 200 is turned on (supplied), the external network address of the network address sharer 200 may have been changed. ) Is to retransmit the location information request signal.

This is a process that occurs when the floating IP address is assigned to the network address sharer 200 as an external network address, and a new external network address may be assigned with the reboot of the network address sharer 200. As another example, the manager terminal 210 periodically requests a voice response signal to the guide information management server 100, and the guide information management server 100 includes a voice response signal including an external network address of the corresponding manager terminal 210. When transmitting to the manager terminal 210, the manager terminal 210 may determine whether the external network address of the network address sharer 200 has been changed by checking the external network address included in the answer signal. .

On the other hand, the customer communication terminal 220 is a communication terminal owned or used by a customer visiting the museum, for example, can be connected to the museum internal network to communicate. Here, the customer communication terminal 220 includes a variety of wireless communication terminals such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and smartphones. Although a mobile station may be connected to a mobile communication network through a station, the main feature of the present embodiment is that it can connect to a network address sharer 200 to communicate with a predetermined server in an external network.

In other words, connecting to the external network through the network address sharer 200 means that the customer communication terminal 220 also accesses the external network via the network address sharer 200 while being connected to the museum internal network. it means.

Here, unlike communication through a mobile communication network, short-range wireless LAN communication may be used to communicate through the network address sharer 200. That is, a communication channel is formed between the customer communication terminal 220 and the network address sharer 200 in a short range wireless LAN communication method such as WIFKWireless Fidelity, and the customer communication terminal 220 is connected to the external network through the generated communication channel. You can connect to

To this end, an access point (AP) for forming a short-range communication channel with the customer communication terminal 220 needs to be further provided. The role of the access point may be performed by the network address sharer 200. In this case, the network address router 200 may correspond to a type of wired / wireless router.

In particular, the customer communication terminal 220 performs a function of transmitting a guide information request signal to the guide information management server 100 through the network address sharer 200.

That is, as described above, the customer communication terminal 220 forms a wireless communication channel with the network address sharer 200, and the information management server provided in the external network (for example, the Internet network) through the communication channel thus formed ( 100) to communicate with.

According to the request information signal of the customer communication terminal 220, the guide information management server 100 provides information on the museum where the customer is located, through a predetermined process, and the customer communication terminal 220 provides information on the museum. It also performs the function of displaying information.

Here, the Internet address of the guide information management server 100 may be stored in the customer communication terminal 220 in advance. For example, the function of the customer communication terminal 220, that is, the function of transmitting the guide information request signal to the guide information management server 100 and processing the guide information received according to the request signal, is transmitted to the customer communication terminal 220. This may be performed by an application installed or downloaded from an external server. In this case, the Internet address of the guide information management server 100 may be included in the application in advance.

Meanwhile, the guide information management server 100 stores guide information and authentication information for a museum or other public place, registers location information for each guide information according to the location information round request signal, and guide information request signal. Receives the request signal, determines the location that sent the request signal It performs the function of extracting and providing guidance information on the pipes or other public places.

Specifically, it is as follows.

The guide information management server 100 is included in the location information registration request signal in the guide information for the manager authentication information included in the location information round request signal according to the location information registration request signal transmitted from the manager terminal 210. It performs rounding by matching the external network address with location information.

At this time, the guide information management server 100 may perform an authentication process first. For example, when the authentication information of the location information round request signal transmitted from the manager terminal 210 includes a user ID and a password, the previously stored user is stored. After performing the authentication process by comparing with the information stored in the database (that is, confirming whether the user is a registered user), the external information included in the signal for requesting registration information and the location information registered by the corresponding user ID This can be done by matching the network address for the application. That is, the guide information management server 100 may determine the external network address included in the location information registration request signal as the location information for at least one of the pre-stored information information.

And the guide information management server 100 receives the guide information request signal transmitted from the customer communication terminal 220 through the network address sharer 200, the external use included in the guide information request signal of the customer communication terminal 220 It is determined whether the external network address identical to the network address is rounded as the location information, and if the result is determined, the guide information matched with the rounded external network address is extracted and transmitted to the customer communication terminal 220. It performs the function.

That is, as described above, at least a part of each guide information stored in the guide information management server 100 is matched with an external network address according to the location information registration request signal of the manager terminal 210, and in this state, customer communication The guide information management server 100 receiving the guide information request signal of the terminal 220 extracts the guide information matched to the same address as the external network address included in the guide information request signal to the customer communication terminal 220. To provide.

When the manager terminal 210 and the customer communication terminal 220 are in the internal network of the network address sharer 200 having the same external network address, the manager terminal 210 and the customer communication terminal 220 are guide information. Since the request signal (that is, the location information registration request signal or the guide information request signal) transmitted to the management server 100 includes the same external network address, the guide information management server 100 receives the external request network address. It can be used as a kind of location information.

Hereinafter, the detailed functional block of the above-described guide information management server 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2. As shown in the drawing, the guide information management server 100 includes a database unit 150, a request receiving unit 110, a guide information selecting unit 120, a location information rounding unit 130, and a guide information providing unit 140. It is configured to include.

First, the database unit 150 stores guide information for supervisor authentication information.

For example, the database unit 150 may store login information including an administrator ID and a password, and also guide information is stored to match the administrator ID.

An example of a form in which predetermined authentication information and guide information are matched and stored is illustrated in FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 3, the first record relates to a museum, the museum operator ID is 'sky88', the password is 'agll5q3', and the guide information of the museum matched with such authentication information is composed of a "museum ϋν" file. It can be seen. The second record is for Seoul City Hall, Seo-Geul City Manager I-Gi is "bluecook", password is "3319uy", and the Seoul City Hall guide information matching this authentication information consists of "Seoul City Hall. Jpg" file. Able to know.

As shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that the guide information is composed of a kind of file, and the form of the file can be variously configured such as a video, an image, and a text. In this embodiment, the guide information is one file, but the guide information may be composed of a plurality of files.

The request receiving unit 110 performs a function of receiving a request signal from various devices in the internal network communicating through the network address sharer 200, and in particular, the manager terminal 210 includes administrator authentication information. A location information round request signal is received, and a customer information terminal 220 receives a guide information request signal.

The guide information selection unit 120 performs a function of extracting administrator authentication information from the location information registration request signal received by the registration request receiving unit 110 and selecting guide information based on the extracted authentication information. In this case, the guide information selection unit 120 may first perform a login authentication process by using the manager crowd information. That is, the guide information selection unit 120 may select guide information only when authentication is performed.

The location information registration unit 130 extracts an external network address from the location information registration request signal received by the registration request receiving unit 110 and uses the extracted external network address to guide information selected by the guide information selecting unit 120. Performs rounding function by matching with location information of.

That is, the location information registration request signal includes the calling network address, that is, the network. The external network address included by the address sharer 200 is included, and the location information block 130 registers the external network address in the database unit 150 as a kind of location information. At this time, the location information round part 130 registers by matching the external network address with the guide information selected by the guide information selection unit 120.

As shown in FIG. 4, the external network address is matched with the location information.

Referring to the first record of FIG. 4, the location information field stores an external network address extracted from the location information registration request signal "121.135.232.201", and the file name "Museum. Flv '" is stored in the guide information (file name) field. You can see that it is stored.

From this, it can be seen that the external network address of the network address sharer 200 which the manager terminal 210 of the museum has to pass through in order to communicate with the guide information management server 100 is "121.135.232.201".

Therefore, when devices using the same internal network as the manager terminal 210 of the museum transmit a predetermined request signal to the guide information management server 100, the request signal includes "121.135232.201" as an external network address. It can be expected in detail.

The guide information providing unit 140 has an external network address identical to the external network address included in the guide information request signal from the customer communication terminal 220 of the internal network received by the request receiving unit 110 as the location information. If it is determined whether or not, and if the determination result is round, it performs the function of extracting the guidance information matched to the registered external network address and transmits to the customer communication terminal 220.

That is, as described above, the customer communication terminal 220 using the same internal network as the manager terminal 210 of the museum, that is, the customer communication terminal 220 communicating with the external network using the same network address sharer 200 is guided. The information management server 100 may transmit a guide information request signal, wherein the guide information request signal includes “121.135.232.201” which is the same address as the external network address rounded off by the manager terminal 210 of the museum. The guide information providing unit 140 determines what guide information to extract through the network address comparison.

Therefore, in the case of FIG. 4, the guide information providing unit 140 extracts a "museum. Flv" file, which is guide information matched to the same external network address, and transmits the file to the customer communication terminal 220.

Accordingly, the customer communication terminal 220 receives the information from the guide information management server 100. The new "Museum. Flv" file is played so that customers can check the information about the museum.

Hereinafter, a control process of the automatic guide system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

The manager terminal 210 transmits a location information round request signal to the guide information management server 100 via the network address sharer 200 according to an administrator's command (for example, a command for inputting a user ID and a password). (Step S1).

The guide information management server 100 performs authentication processing by extracting authentication information from the received location information registration request signal (step S3), and extracts an external network address from the location information round request signal when authentication is performed (step S3). S5).

The guide information management server 100 matches the extracted external network address with location information and registers the pre-stored guide information as the location information (step S7), and registers the completed answer signal to the manager terminal 210. (Step S9).

Meanwhile, the customer communication terminal 220 using the same network address sharer 200 as the manager terminal 210, for example, transmits a guide information request signal to the guide information management server 100 according to a command of the customer ( Step S11).

At this time, the guide information management server 100 extracts the external network address from the received guide information request signal (step S13), extracts the guide information matched to the extracted external network address (step S15), and extracts The guide information is transmitted to the customer communication terminal 220 (step S17).

Accordingly, the guide information may be displayed on the customer communication terminal 220 (step

S19).

Meanwhile, the manager terminal 210 determines whether the external network address of the network address sharer 200 has been changed (step S21), and if so, re-transmits the location information registration request signal to the guide information management server 100. (Step S23).

That is, the manager terminal 210 temporarily stores authentication information (ID, password, etc.) input by the administrator, and when the external network address change of the network address sharer 200 is detected, even if there is no command from the administrator, The information registration request signal is retransmitted.

In accordance with the retransmission of the location information registration request signal, the process from step S3 is performed again.

As such, according to a method of determining a location using an external network address assigned to the network address sharer 200 and providing guide information for the corresponding location, that is, in a building, that is, a GPS module cannot operate. There is an advantage that can be used in. Hereinafter, an automatic guidance system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, the automatic guide system according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a network address sharer 200_1 to 200_3, a guide information management server 100 ′, and a customer communication terminal 220 ′. do. In the following description of the present embodiment, descriptions repeated with the first embodiment may be omitted.

This embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above is that a separate manager terminal 210 is not required.

That is, the network address routers 200_1 to 200_3 include a function performed by the manager terminal 210 'in the first embodiment, that is, a function of transmitting a location information registration request signal.

Since the location information round request signal transmission function included in the network address routers 200_1 to 200_3 includes the function of the manager terminal 210 described in the first embodiment as it is, the description of the repetition is omitted.

The configuration as in the second embodiment of the present invention is, for example, to install an independent network address sharer (200_1 ~ 200_3) for each exhibition hall in the museum, and each network address sharer (200_1 ~ 200_3) is a different authorized external network This may be the case when an address is assigned.

In this case, each network address sharer 200_1 to 200_3 transmits its own stored authentication information to the guide information management server 100 'even if there is no command of the administrator, so that its external network address is stored in the guide information management server ( 100 ') as the location information of the guide information stored in the round.

The network address routers 200_1 to 200_3 may retransmit the location information registration request signal to the information management server 100 'when it is determined that the external network address allocated from the circuit provider server (not shown) has been changed. Also perform.

Except for the above-described functions of the network address routers 200_1 to 200_3, there is no difference from the first embodiment, and the processes of receiving the guidance information from the customer communication terminal 220 'by requesting the guidance information management server 100' are described above. Since the description is the same, the description is omitted.

In each of the above embodiments, the administrator authentication information stored in the database of the guide information management server (100,100 ') includes only an administrator ID and a password, but the device number of the network address sharer is an authentication part of the database unit. It may also be included in the information.

Similarly, the location information registration request signal and the guidance information request signal received by the guidance information management server may include the network address router device number. However, the guide information management server may also consider the network address sharing device number in extracting the guide information.

For example, in a museum where several subnetwork address routers communicate with the announcement information management server via a single main network address sharer, each subnetwork address sharer is generated by a customer communication terminal of its internal network. The device number of the self (sub network address sharer) may be included in the information request signal and transmitted to the guide information management server through the main network address sharer.

In this case, the guide information management server checks which subnetwork address share of the museum is a request for guide information through the shared subnetwork address sharer device number, and stores the guide information stored in the confirmed subnetwork address sharer. (For example, information on a specific exhibition hall of a museum) may be transmitted to a corresponding customer communication terminal.
