In operation S1114, the integrated server transmits the available seat and the searched seat list to the user terminal, and the user terminal displays the received seat list. In addition, the integrated server stores the received unique information in the external management DB.

12 is a flowchart illustrating an operation performed in the library reading room seat reservation system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an operation performed in the library reading room seat reservation system according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 12.

According to FIG. 12, the library reading room seat reservation system includes a user terminal, an integrated server, an external management DB, a seat reservation client, a seat status DB, and a library DB. Of course, other configurations in addition to the above-described configuration may be included in the library reading room seat reservation system proposed by the present invention.

In operation S1200, the user terminal selects one of the displayed reserved seats.

In step S1202 the user terminal transmits the library name, the selected seat information (number) to the integrated server.

In step S1204, the integrated server transmits the unique information and the seat number and phone number of the requested library to the seat reservation client.

In step S1206 the seat reservation client checks whether the received unique number is stored in the seat status DB.

In step S1208, the seat reservation client checks whether the received unique number is stored in the library DB, if the received unique number is not stored in the seat status DB.

In step S1210, if the seat reservation client does not store the unique information from the library DB, and transmits the information about this to the integrated server.

In operation S1212, if the seat reservation client stores unique information corresponding to the received unique information, the seat reservation client completes the reservation for the seat requested for reservation in the corresponding library. Of course, when the reservation is not completed, that is, when the reservation fails, the details are transmitted to the integration server. In addition, the seat reservation client registers the received phone number in the seat status DB when the phone number corresponding to the unique information is different from the previously registered phone number.

In step S1214, the seat reservation client transmits the reservation success or reservation failure to the integration server.

In operation S1216, the integrated server transmits the reservation success or failure to the user terminal, and the user terminal displays the reservation success or failure using the display unit.

As described above, the present invention proposes a method of reserving a seat for a library that can be used by using a user terminal.

In connection with the present invention, the external management DB is a library list corresponding to a telephone number, and includes a central library and a college library of a specific university. That is, even if a student of a particular university, the library can be used for each college. In other words, engineering students can use the university's central library and engineering college library, and Gyeongsang university students can use the university's central library and Gyeongsang university library. Therefore, the external management DB stores information about the colleges and departments of the user of the user terminal to provide a list of libraries available to the user corresponding to the telephone number to the user terminal.

The present invention can also be applied to an electronic mailbox. That is, when the delivery person puts the goods in the electronic mailbox, the electronic mailbox notifies the customer of an image of the goods photographed by the camera disposed inside the electronic mailbox to the SMS, SNS, e-mail, or a smartphone application.

After that, the customer possessing the user terminal receives the goods inside the electronic mailbox through the authentication procedure with the electronic mailbox. In this case, the mobile terminal of the customer and the electronic mailbox communicate in various ways. That is, as described above, the mobile terminal and the electronic mailbox communicate using a short range communication method including a beacon or an LBS. In addition, the mobile terminal and the electronic mailbox communicate with each other in various ways.

In the above description, the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be readily appreciated that various substitutions, modifications and variations can be made.

The present invention relates to a method of using a location-based electronic locker, an electronic mailbox, and an unmanned mailbox using a beacon or LBS, and a library seat assignment method. Attached to the unmanned box, it can be used in the field of using the electronic locker, electronic mailbox and unmanned delivery box to perform the user authentication and payment of the electronic locker, electronic mailbox and unmanned delivery box, or to allocate the seat of the library.
