On the other hand, the present invention includes a computer readable recording medium having stored thereon a program for causing a computer to execute the method.

According to the system and method for providing a baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to the present invention has the following effects.

First, luggage such as a suitcase may be delivered to the next destination in accordance with the travel schedule of the traveler, so that the traveler can freely tour, shop, and move without having to carry heavy luggage.

Of course, there is a worry that you have to pay the shipping costs, but in the present invention through the cost-sharing of the partner can be used for free shipping services for travelers. That is, in order to use the baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to the present invention, a traveler must purchase a beacon accessory and request a delivery using a dedicated application. Dedicated applications allow you to make reservations or payments for accommodations, tourist attractions, restaurants, public transport, car rentals, shopping malls, etc., and expose advertisements while providing a variety of travel information. As a result, part of the cost of purchasing beacon accessories, part of the copayment provided by a partner such as an accommodation or restaurant, and part of the advertising fee are covered by the cost of delivery, so the shipping cost for the traveler is nearing free. This can significantly increase service usage.

In addition, since a beacon accessory mounted on the baggage is used, it is easy to request delivery of a specific baggage, and the real-time delivery state can be checked. In particular, in the case of baggage location checking, it is a method of confirming that communication with the beacon accessory is made in real time through the shipper terminal, rather than simply using the past information input by the shipper, so the accuracy of the location is very high.

In addition, beacon accessories mounted on the baggage are not only used for shipping requests, registration and tracking purposes, but can also be used for theft and loss prevention functions. In other words, wearing a beacon accessory in a suitcase, laptop, camera, wallet, passport, etc., if paired with a traveler terminal, it can detect the distance of each baggage through a dedicated application of the traveler terminal, and if it is recognized that the deviation is more than a certain distance Alerts can be issued immediately to prevent loss or theft.

In particular, the beacon accessories applied in the present invention is made detachably to the baggage, so that power is supplied only when properly worn, intentional device departure is fundamentally impossible. In other words, the conventional Bluetooth device simply puts the device in the bag, so if a person with impure intention pulls out only the Bluetooth device and runs away from the baggage, the warning does not occur and the theft situation cannot be completely blocked. If it is worn correctly, it cannot be removed from the baggage, and if the body is intentionally removed or damaged to remove only the beacon accessories and carry only the baggage, the power supply cuts off a warning from the traveler's terminal, completely eliminating the risk of theft.

In addition, the location of the baggage (more specifically, the location of the traveler's terminal that has received a signal from the beacon accessory mounted on the baggage) is stored in the traveler's terminal or the baggage delivery service providing system. By outputting to the terminal, it is possible to trace back the baggage from the final position where theft or loss occurred, thereby increasing the possibility of recovering the lost item.

Meanwhile, in the baggage delivery service according to the present invention, the baggage delivery between the hostel and the hostel is treated as a basic service, but according to the implementation, it is possible to leave the baggage in the unmanned storage box and request delivery to a desired destination. In other words, if a baggage with beacon accessories is stored in a storage box installed at an airport, a train station, a subway station, a bus terminal, a tourist attraction, or a shopping mall, and a request is made for delivery through a dedicated application of a traveler's terminal, only a valid carrier opens the storage cover and takes over the baggage. This allows safe storage and delivery of the baggage. Of course, some of the depository fees may be covered by shipping costs.

In addition, in order to use the baggage delivery service according to the present invention, it is good to purchase beacon accessories before the start of the travel schedule, but even if the beacon accessories are not ready, they can be conveniently purchased using vending machines installed throughout the destination. You can register. Of course, if you book accommodation or transportation in advance through a dedicated application, you can easily manage your travel itinerary, but even if you purchase a beacon accessory and install a special application late, you can improperly enter the itinerary and request delivery.

Functional functions of the components in the baggage delivery service providing system according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above will be more clearly understood through the description of the baggage delivery service providing method described below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 16.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of purchasing beacon accessories 30 and 40 and registering baggage 60 in a method for providing baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, when a traveler having a traveler terminal 20 requests a beacon purchase through a vending machine 120 installed at a lodging facility or a main tourist attraction, the vending machine 120 requests a payment to the central server 100. S510>, the central server 100 may process payment through a predetermined procedure and then notify the payment approval to the traveler terminal 20 and the vending machine 120. The vending machine 120 notified of the payment approval discharges the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in the selected type and number <S520>, and the traveler can acquire them.

The process of purchasing beacon accessories 30 and 40 is very diverse. That is, when the traveler approaches the vending machine 120 and requests cash or credit card payment through the payment means provided in the vending machine 120 as in the present embodiment, the vending machine 120 receives the central server 100. ) Request a payment approval and then beacon accessories (30, 40) may be discharged according to the payment processing result, or a traveler may purchase beacon accessories (30, 40) in an offline store, or traveler terminal (20) After the purchase request and payment processing of the beacon accessories (30, 40) through a dedicated application of the) may be an O2O method to obtain only the real beacon accessories (30, 40) from the adjacent vending machine 120. In addition, since the vending machine 120 charges the power of the loaded beacon accessories 30 and 40, the traveler can acquire and use the beacon accessories 30 and 40 at the same time. Of course, once purchased beacon accessories (30, 40) can be reused through wireless charging. In addition, the vending machine 120 may grasp the stock of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in real time, and request a certain quantity of orders from the central server 100.

After purchasing the beacon accessories 30 and 40, the traveler may access the central server 100 through the traveler terminal 20 and request a dedicated application, and the application manager 102 of the central server 100 may be requested. ) Provides a dedicated application to the traveler terminal 20 in cooperation with the communication unit 101 (S530), it may be installed after receiving it from the traveler terminal 20 (S535). In the installation process of the dedicated application, additional procedures such as agreement to provide location information may be additionally performed. Of course, a dedicated application may already be installed in the traveler terminal 20 before the purchase process of the beacon accessories 30 and 40.

Since the traveler wears the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in a manner suitable for each baggage 60 (bag, notebook, camera, etc.) and passport 50 so as to generate a beacon signal (S540).

When the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are mounted in each baggage 60 (including the passport 50) and a beacon signal is generated, the traveler runs a dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20 to display the beacon accessories 30, 40. 40 detects the beacon signal, and sets pairing with the detected beacon accessories 30 and 40 (S545). That is, the Bluetooth module 21 detects a beacon signal that can be received and performs pairing. In this process, the user may set a name for each beacon accessory 30 and 40 having a unique ID through a dedicated application. For example, a list is set with a name of a suitcase, a camera, a passport 50, etc. for each beacon ID <S550>, and the set beacon information (baggage information in which the beacon ID matches the baggage name) is stored in the memory 23, and at the same time, It is also sent to the central server 100 (S555). In the central server 100, the received beacon information (baggage information) may be stored in the database 108 to be used in future delivery requests, or may be used for real-time location tracking.

Meanwhile, in the process of pairing with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 using the detected beacon signal, the process of selecting the specific beacon accessories 30 and 40 detected through a user interface output through a dedicated application may be performed. It may be made by hand, such as entering a password, but according to the implementation may be automatically paired by photographing the barcode or QR code printed on the beacon accessories (30, 40) with the camera of the traveler terminal 20. have. Since the technology of automatically connecting the device by photographing a barcode or QR code is well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a function of preventing baggage loss and theft of a baggage delivery service providing method using short-range wireless communication according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. That is, the baggage delivery service provided by the present invention basically handles the delivery of the baggage 60 equipped with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 according to the itinerary, but when the traveler carries the baggage 60 directly, the beacon signal Performs a loss and theft prevention function through the strength of.

Apart from the process of setting the beacon baggage list by beacon in the process of FIG. 5, a distance allowable distance may be set for each baggage 60 (for each beacon accessory 30, 40). For example, the travel bag is set to 20m, the passport 50 is set to 10m and the like. The set information is stored in the memory 23 and may be provided to the central server 100 if necessary.

Beacon accessories (30, 40) to be applied in the present invention is to be detachably mounted on the baggage 60, when normally mounted, the power is automatically supplied to beacon signals are generated. Of course, the power supply is also automatically released when the mounting, such beacon accessories (30, 40) will be described first through Figures 7 to 10.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view for explaining an example of the clip type beacon accessory 30, and FIG. 8 is a conceptual view for explaining the clip type beacon accessory 30 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the clip-shaped beacon accessory 30 largely includes an upper body 31, a lower body 37, and a connecting ring 35.

The signal generator 32 and the battery 33 are built in the upper body 31, and the connecting ring 35 extends from one side of the upper body 31 to be connected to one side of the lower body 37. do.

The signal generator 32 generates a short range wireless communication signal having a unique ID, and the battery 33 is provided to supply power to the signal generator 32. More specifically, the signal generator 32 generates a beacon signal.

Beacon is any technology or device that sends signals periodically to announce something in the traditional sense. Beacons can be divided into sound-based low-frequency beacons, LED beacons, Wi-Fi beacons, Bluetooth beacons, etc. according to the method of transmitting a signal, in this embodiment, a device up to 70m based on Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE, Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol It is assumed that a beacon capable of communicating with the devices is used as the signal generator 32.

Referring to FIG. 8, an upper portion of the signal generator 32 is connected to the first electrode 33a of the battery 33, and a lower portion thereof is connected to the first electrode portion 34a below the upper body 31.

That is, the depression 34 is formed under the upper body 31, the first electrode 34a is exposed inside the depression 34, and the locking projection 34b is formed around the depression 34. Formed.

Meanwhile, the second electrode 33b of the battery 33 is connected to the lower body 37 along a power connection line 36 extending inside the connection ring 35.

The upper portion of the lower body 37 is provided with a protrusion 38 corresponding to the depression 34 of the upper body 31, the second electrode portion 38a is exposed to the protrusion 38, The second electrode part 38a is connected to the second electrode 33b of the battery 33 located in the upper body 31 along the power connection line 36. In addition, a step 38b is formed around the protrusion 38 of the lower body 37.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when the upper body 31 and the lower body 37 are separated from each other, power is not supplied to the signal generator 32, and thus the beacon signal does not occur.

However, the user inserts the upper body 31 or the lower body 37 into the handle of the suitcase or the wrist strap of the camera in the clip-shaped beacon accessory 30 shown in FIG. 8, and the recessed portion of the lower body of the upper body 31 ( 34, the protrusion 38 of the upper portion of the lower body 37 is inserted and coupled as shown in FIG. 7, whereby the first electrode portion 34a and the second electrode portion 38a are brought into close contact with each other to complete electrical connection, thereby generating a signal. Both the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b of the battery 33 may be connected to the unit 32. At this time, since the step 38b formed in the protrusion 38 is caught by the locking step 34b of the recess 34, the protrusion 38 is not easily separated from the recess 34.

That is, the beacon signal is generated from the signal generator 32 by the combination of the upper body 31 and the lower body 37, so that the baggage 60 can be tracked (travel the beacon signal) to the traveler terminal 20. .

However, a person with impure intention may want to remove the beacon accessory 30 mounted on the baggage 60 and take only the baggage 60. In this case, the connection ring 35 should be disconnected or the upper body 31 and the lower body 37 should be separated. At this time, if the connection ring 35 is disconnected, the power connection line 36 is disconnected, thereby generating the beacon signal from the signal generator 32, and an event accordingly occurs in the traveler terminal 20.

Meanwhile, although the clip type beacon accessory 30 illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 8 shows that both the signal generator 32 and the battery 33 are mounted on the upper body 31, the signal generator is mounted on the upper body 31. Only the 32 is positioned, and the battery 33 is located in the lower body 37, so that it is possible to supply power only when connected to each other. In addition, the positions of the depressions 34 and the protrusions 38 may be interchanged with each other. In addition to the shape of the depressions 34 and the protrusions 38 shown in the drawings, electrical connection and disconnection may be performed according to the user's will. If it is a form, it is also possible that other structures are applied.

9 is a perspective view for explaining another example of the beacon accessory 40, Figure 10 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the beacon accessory 40 shown in FIG. The beacon accessory 40 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 is made in the form of a card, the specific principle of which is similar to the clip type beacon accessory 30 shown in Figs.

First, a portion of the card-shaped body (41,48) is cut in the 'c' shape is formed a slit 46, for convenience, the outside of the slit 46 is called the main body 41, the inside of the slit 46 Name the fitting body 48.

The main body 41 has a built-in signal generator 42 and the battery 43. The description of the signal generator 42 and the battery 43 will be replaced with the description of the clip type beacon accessory 30 shown in FIGS.

In addition, the main body 41 is formed with an extension 44 of a predetermined length in the direction of the fitting body 48. That is, the fitting body 48 has a structure covering the extension portion 44.

Referring to FIG. 10, a portion where the fitting body 48 and the extension portion 44 face each other is manufactured in a physical / electrical connection structure. That is, the depression 45 having the locking jaw 45b formed around the extension 44 is formed, and the first electrode 45a is exposed in the depression 45. In addition, the lower portion of the fitting body 48 is provided with a protrusion 49 having a stepped portion 49b, and the second electrode portion 49a is exposed to the protrusion 49.

In addition, the first electrode portion 45a of the depression portion 45 is the first electrode of the signal generator 42 and the battery 43 along the extension portion 44 and the power connection line 47 inside the main body 41. The second electrode portion 49a of the protrusion 49 is connected to the second electrode 43a of the battery 43 along the power supply line 47 inside the fitting body 48 and the main body 41. 43b).

That is, in the card type beacon accessory 40 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the main body 41 (including the extension 44) and the fitting body 48 are respectively formed of the clip type beacon accessory 30 shown in FIG. 7. Corresponding to the upper body and the lower body, if the power connector 47 in the clip-shaped beacon accessory 30 extends through the link, the card-type beacon accessory 40 of the main body 41 and the fitting body 48 The power connection line 47 is extended therein.

The card type beacon accessory 40 shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 is for mounting to book-type belongings, such as a passport 50. As shown in FIG. That is, after the cover body or the cover of the passport 50 is inserted between the fitting body 48 and the extension part 44, and the fitting body 48 is pressed, the protrusion 49 below the fitting body 48 is the passport 50. After penetrating through the cover or through of the insertion portion 44 is fitted to the depression 45 of the extension. Therefore, the card type beacon accessory 40 is firmly coupled to the passport 50 and is not detached, and at the same time, the first electrode 45a of the depression 45 and the second electrode 49a of the protrusion 49 By being in close contact with the electrical connection is made possible to supply power to the signal generating unit 42, it is possible to monitor the passport 50 through the traveler terminal 20.

Of course, in order to remove the card type beacon accessory 40 shown in Figs. 9 to 10 from the passport 50, the fitting body 48 must be detached from the extension part 44, so the power supply is cut off in this process. In this way, the warning through the traveler terminal 20 is possible.

In addition, since the card-type beacon accessory 40 is small in size as a general credit card and thin as a thickness of about 1 mm, it is not confirmed whether it is mounted externally when mounted in the passport 50. Therefore, those with impure intentions may escape without thinking that the card type beacon accessory 40 is mounted.

Referring back to FIG. 6, when the pairing <S545> with the beacon accessories 30 and 40, the name setting <S550>, and the distance allowance distance setting <S605> are completed, the monitoring unit 24a of the traveler terminal 20 may perform in real time. Alternatively, it is determined whether a specific baggage 60 deviates from a set distance by the strength of the beacon signal generated from the beacon accessories 30 and 40 at regular intervals. That is, the beacon signals of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 installed in the baggage 60 are received through the Bluetooth module 21, and the monitoring unit 24a analyzes the strength of the signal to calculate the current separation distance. Thereafter, the calculated distance is compared with the set distance stored in the memory 23, and it is determined whether the set distance is out of the distance (for example, 20 m or more).

In addition, the monitoring unit 24a determines whether a device is blocked among the paired beacon accessories 30 and 40 (S610). Although described in detail with reference to Figures 7 to 10, the beacon accessories (30, 40) to be applied in the present invention can be a beacon signal is generated by the power supply only when properly mounted on the baggage 60, if the body of If the connection is broken or the power cord is disconnected, the power supply is cut off and a beacon signal cannot be generated. That is, the monitoring unit 24a monitors whether the paired beacon accessories 30 and 40 continue to generate beacon signals normally.

If it is determined through the monitoring unit 24a, it is determined that the specific beacon accessories 30, 40 are out of the set distance, or the specific beacon accessories 30, 40 are released from the baggage 60 or are damaged. If it is determined that the beacon signal is blocked <S615>, the event control unit 24b generates an event <S620> to immediately inform the user that a situation in which the baggage 60 is lost or stolen is suspected. For example, the event controller 24b may generate a warning sound through the speaker 28, generate a vibration to draw attention, or provide a warning guide through the screen output unit 27. Here, even if the body of the beacon accessories (30, 40) is separated and released from the baggage (60), and the normal beacon signal is generated again by combining the body immediately, the event control unit (24b) suspects the instantaneous signal blocking itself Consider it and handle the event.

In addition, the event controller 24b stores the position information at the time when the event occurs in the memory 23 (S625) and transmits the position information and the event occurrence information to the central server 100 (S630). That is, the event controller 24b stores the coordinate information received through the GPS receiver 26 at the time of occurrence of the event in the memory 23 and transmits the coordinate information to the central server 100. Of course, the location information stored in the memory 23 or transmitted to the central server 100 may be guided by a map or text through the screen output unit 27 of the traveler terminal 20.

Therefore, the traveler may trace back the lost / stolen baggage 60 through the location information displayed on the screen. That is, the location information output on the screen may be regarded as the final confirmed location of the baggage 60 because the location information at the time of the event occurs. Therefore, if you move to that location, you are more likely to find lost items, and if stolen, you can increase the likelihood of arresting criminals by investigating CCTV or witnesses installed in that location.

11 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing travel information and a reservation process in a method of providing baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Prior to the description, it is assumed that the central server 100 stores the affiliated hotel, tourist attractions, transportation, restaurants, car rentals, delivery companies, or advertisement information in the database 108 in advance.

When the traveler terminal 20 requests a travel information to the central server 100 by driving a dedicated application <S1105>, the travel information operation unit 104 of the central server 100 stores the travel information stored in the database 108. Load it and provide it to the tourist terminal 20 <S1110>. The travel information request and provision method may be a keyword search method or a tree method that provides detailed step by step while selecting by region or theme. Alternatively, after analyzing the member information of the traveler requesting the travel information or receiving only a rough travel route and time, the travel information management unit 104 may recommend the optimal travel information by analyzing the algorithm.

The traveler who has confirmed the travel information may immediately book a accommodation, transportation, tourist destination, restaurant, shopping mall, rental car, etc. through the traveler terminal 20 and request payment <S1115>. When the central server 100 processes and approves the reservation and payment request of the traveler terminal 20 and approves <S1120>, the central server 100 notifies the traveler terminal 20 and the first desk terminal 90 that the reservation and payment has been completed. .

When the travel schedule is established through this procedure, the travel schedule for each member is stored in the database 108 of the central server 100, and the travel schedule may be checked or changed from time to time. Of course, reservations and payments may only be entered on a dedicated application after it has already been completed via a path other than the dedicated application discussed in the present invention.

On the other hand, if the pairing of beacon accessories (30, 40) and baggage list setting through the traveler terminal 20 is completed, it is preferable that the request for delivery of the specific baggage 60 is also performed in a certain section according to the travel schedule. Do. However, hereinafter, it is assumed that the delivery request for the specific baggage 60 is made separately.

12 is a diagram showing an example of a baggage 60 delivery route according to the itinerary on a map. That is, an example of visiting a number of countries for a certain period of time is shown, and the portion located at the beginning and end of the arrow on the map is the visit point 80. The visit point 80 eventually refers to the origin and destination of the baggage 60, which may be a lodging facility, a tourist spot or a train station. In addition, a specific visit point 80 may use a delivery service of the baggage 60, and another visit point 80 may carry a baggage 60 directly by a traveler without a delivery service.

FIG. 13 requests a travel schedule to a central server through a dedicated application installed in a traveler terminal 20 by a traveler who has established a travel schedule through the process of FIG. 11, and extracts travel schedule information from a database and outputs it to the screen of the traveler terminal. An example is shown. In other words, the examples are classified by region by date. If a specific visit point 80 is selected on this screen, detailed information on accommodations reserved in the region may be output as shown in FIG. 14. In the detailed screen, you can check the address of the accommodation and request a map view, check the reservation schedule, change the reservation, request the delivery of the baggage 60, or check the nearby tourist information. In addition, when the travel schedule screen is output through a dedicated application, advertisement information may also be exposed.

15 is a flowchart illustrating a delivery process between accommodations in a method for providing baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention. In detail, the present invention relates to a process of requesting delivery of a specific baggage 60 from a specific accommodation (origin) to the next accommodation (destination) among the entire travel routes booked through the process of FIG. 11.

First, when the traveler terminal 20 requests the travel schedule information from the traveler terminal 20 to the central server 100, the central server 100 completes the reservation and payment according to the process of FIG. 11 with reference to the member information of the database 108. The travel schedule information of the traveler is loaded and provided to the traveler terminal 20 (S1510).

When the traveler who checks the entire travel schedule through the traveler terminal 20 selects a specific section and requests delivery to the central server 100, the departure point is determined from the travel schedule information included in the delivery request information or stored in the member information. Extracts information, destination information (including abnormal time information), shipping target baggage information, beacon ID, etc. and stores them in the database 108, and provides such delivery request information to a pre-registered shipper or shipper terminal 70 The delivery request may be accepted (S1520), or an optimal delivery person may be matched.

When the shipper is confirmed, the shipper or the determined shipper terminal 70 notifies the central server 100 that the delivery request has been normally received, and the central server 100 provides the traveler terminal 20 and the first desk terminal. (90) (S1525).

In this case, the delivery request may be made during the reservation and payment process for the entire travel schedule according to the process of FIG. 11, but may be requested or changed in real time while staying at a specific accommodation.

In addition, the central server 100 may be matched by a professional shipping personnel through a pre-affiliated courier, but according to the implementation, the travel itinerary is partially overlapped to apply for the delivery of the baggage 60 and a predetermined delivery fee by themselves It is also possible to match one other traveler to the shipper.

After the delivery request and reception are completed, when the traveler visits the information desk to receive the baggage 60 to be delivered (S1535) according to the itinerary and leaves the accommodation (departure point), the first desk terminal 90 receives the delivery object. After recognizing the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60, the central server 100 notifies that the baggage to be delivered 60 has been received (S1540). The central server 100 determines the normal reception by comparing the information (beacon ID) of the delivery target baggage 60 included in the delivery request information received in advance with the delivery target baggage information received from the first desk terminal 90. can do.

Meanwhile, when the traveler leaves the accommodation after leaving the baggage 60 at the information desk, if the anti-theft function is still operating in the traveler terminal 20, theft event may occur unintentionally. Of course, the anti-theft function for the baggage 60 may be manually released by driving a dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20, but the traveler terminal (the terminal server 100 is notified that the baggage to be delivered 60 has been received). By issuing the anti-theft protection command in step 20), it is preferable to automatically release the anti-theft function <S1545> even if the traveler does not perform a separate operation.

After that, the traveler can simply visit the nearby attractions or enjoy shopping and move to the next destination without burdening the baggage 60 such as a heavy suitcase.

On the other hand, when the time to start delivery arrives, the delivery terminal 70 visits the accommodation (origin) and takes over the baggage 60 <S1555>, and then the beacon accessories (30 and 40) mounted on the baggage 60. The central server 100 notifies that the delivery of the baggage 60 has been started and recognizes it (S1560). Of course, the first desk terminal 90 may also hand over the baggage 60 to the shipper normally and separately notify the central server 100 that the delivery of the baggage 60 has begun <S1560>. In addition, the central server 100 may notify the traveler terminal 20 of the start of delivery of the baggage 60 (S1560).

When the baggage 60 is being delivered by the shipper, the traveler may check whether the baggage 60 is properly delivered. To this end, the dedicated application may be executed to request the location information of the baggage 60 to the central server 100 <S1565>. At this time, the central server 100 may provide the traveler terminal 20 with the latest updated location information in the baggage 60 information of the database 108, but the baggage 60 to the shipper terminal 70 side to increase accuracy. Request the location information in real time <S1565>, the shipper terminal 70 requests the final location information again to the beacon accessories (30, 40) mounted on the baggage 60 <S1565>, beacon accessories (30, When the baggage 60 location information is transmitted to the shipper terminal 70 in step 40, the location information of the baggage 60 is transmitted in the order of the central server 100 and the traveler terminal 20 in step S1570. Specifically, requesting location information from the delivery device terminal 70 to the beacon accessories 30 and 40 is a process of confirming whether the corresponding beacon accessories 30 and 40 are normally paired with the delivery device terminal 70. The location information of the baggage 60 provided to the central server 100 and the traveler terminal 20 is determined by the delivery terminal 70 when the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are normally paired with the delivery terminal 70. Location information.

In other words, the present embodiment does not inform the location information arbitrarily input by the delivery person terminal 70, but checks the communication connection status of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in real time to inform the location of the delivery person terminal 70. Because no one needs to go through a cumbersome input process, the baggage 60 position can always be accurately identified.

In the existing general courier service, since only the information of the uploader after uploading the status after recognizing the barcode of the baggage 60 was able to be confirmed, only the approximate location of the past was confirmed. However, in the present invention, because the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 are used, if the shipper terminal 70 and the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are located adjacent to each other, a very accurate location can be determined in real time. have.

In addition, the conventional general courier service only tracks the location of the mobile terminal of the courier, and whether or not the item is unknown, but in this embodiment, the location of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60. Since it is confirmed (confirmed whether paired), even in the delivery process of the baggage 60 can be confirmed in real time.

If the shipper has completed the delivery of the baggage 60 to the next accommodation (destination), the baggage 60 is handed over to the information desk <S1575>, and the beacon accessory 30 of the baggage 60 received from the second desk terminal 95 is received. By recognizing 40, the central server 100 may be notified that the delivery is completed (S1580). Of course, the delivery terminal 70 may also notify the delivery completion to the central server 100, the central server 100 can notify the completion of the delivery to the traveler terminal 20, it is possible to complete the delivery procedure of the section. .

This allows travelers to travel between lodging and lodging without the burden of baggage (60) .Then find the baggage (60) at the next lodging, and then go through the process of pairing and setting up beacon accessories (30,40). The prevention function can be activated.

16 is a flowchart illustrating a delivery process using the storage box 110 in the method for providing baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the process of requesting the delivery of a specific baggage 60 from a specific storage box 110 (departure point) to the next accommodation (destination) among the entire travel routes booked through the process of FIG. 11.

First, if a traveler feels the burden of carrying luggage 60, such as a suitcase, while traveling, the beacon accessories 30 and 40 are installed in the main body 111 of the storage box 110 installed in a train station, a shopping mall, or a tourist destination. After putting on the baggage 60, the cover 112 is closed and a dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20 is driven to request delivery from the corresponding storage box 110 (origin) to the next accommodation (destination) <S1610. > You can. In addition, the near field communication unit 113 of the storage box 110 connects the communication channel with the beacon accessory of the baggage 60 received through the Bluetooth communication method, thereby recognizing the baggage 60 <S1613>, and the telecommunication unit 114 has a central Information recognized by the server 100 is transmitted (S1615).

When the central server 100 receives the baggage 60 recognition information from the storage box 110, the delivery request is registered <S1620> in comparison with the information requested for delivery by the traveler terminal 20. In other words, the identification number and the beacon ID, etc. of the storage box 110 inputted by the traveler terminal 20 are checked. When the registration of the delivery request is normally completed, the storage box 110 is notified <S1625>, and the control unit 115 of the storage box 110 controls the locking unit 116 according to the completion of the normal delivery request registration, so that the cover 112 is locked < S1630>. The cover 112 may be unlocked only when a predetermined authentication procedure is performed while the traveler terminal 20 entrusted with the baggage 60 or the shipper terminal 70 assigned to the delivery service is approached.

In addition, when the baggage 60 is stored in the storage box 110, the central server 100 issues an anti-theft function release command to the traveler terminal 20, thereby releasing the anti-theft function for the baggage 60. Let's do it. This allows the traveler to travel to the next accommodation (destination) after enjoying sightseeing or shopping without burdening the baggage 60.

Thereafter, the central server 100 stores the delivery request information in the database 108 and provides the registered delivery company or the delivery terminal 70 to receive the delivery request <S1640> or to match the optimal delivery person. Can be.

When the shipper is confirmed, the shipper or the determined shipper terminal 70 notifies that the delivery request has been normally received from the shipper terminal 70 to the central server 100, and the traveler terminal 20 and the storage box 110 at the central server 100. (S1650).

When the deliverer terminal 70 visits the storage box 110 (departure point) and requests the baggage 60 to be acquired from the central server 100 <S1655>, the storage box 110 recognizes the access of the delivery device terminal 70. In operation S1660, the control unit 115 operates the locking unit 116 to release the lock <S1665>. That is, the lock is to be released only when the authenticated delivery terminal 70 is approached. In a manner of recognizing the access of the delivery terminal 70, the short-range communication unit 113 in the storage box 110 is the delivery terminal. Or a method of confirming a communication channel connection with the 70 or the identification information printed on the surface of the cover 112 of the storage box 110 or the like is photographed or inputted from the delivery terminal 70 and then transmitted to the central server 100. It may be a method of notifying the control unit 115 of the storage box 110 whether the authentication.

After the cover 112 of the storage box 110 is opened, when the shipper takes over the baggage 60, the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 are recognized and delivery of the baggage 60 is started. The central server 100 notifies <S1675>. Of course, in the storage box 110, the baggage 60 may be normally turned over to the shipper to separately notify the central server 100 that the baggage 60 has been delivered. In addition, the central server 100 may notify <S1675> the start of delivery of the baggage 60 to the traveler terminal 20.

When the baggage 60 is being delivered by the shipper, the traveler can check the location of the baggage 60 in real time, which is replaced by the description of FIG. 15.

If the shipper has completed the delivery of the baggage 60 to the next accommodation (destination), the baggage 60 is handed over to the information desk <S1680>, and the beacon accessory (30) of the baggage 60 received from the first desk terminal 90 is received. By recognizing 40, the central server 100 may be notified that the delivery is completed (S1685). Of course, the delivery terminal 70 may also notify the completion of the delivery to the central server 100, the central server 100 to notify the completion of the delivery to the traveler terminal 20 again, to complete the delivery procedure for the section. have.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 16, the delivery request process using the storage box 110 has been described. When depositing the baggage 60 equipped with the beacon accessory in the storage box 110, it is preferable to pay a predetermined storage fee. The storage fee payment method may use a cash or credit card payment means installed in the storage box 110, or may use a dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20. And some of the storage fee of the baggage 60 may be covered by the shipping cost of the baggage (60).

In addition, in addition to the delivery method from the storage box 110 to the accommodation, the delivery service from the storage box 110 to the other storage box 110 is also sufficiently possible, in which case the shipper locks the luggage 60 after wearing the other storage box 110. The process that corresponds to the wearing process of the traveler, and the process of authenticating the traveler to take over the baggage 60 in the storage box 110 corresponds to the process of the shipper approaching the departure box 110 to be authenticated. Of course, we can also provide delivery services for certain accommodations as baggage departures and storage areas in other areas.

As described in detail above, according to the system and method for providing a baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to the present invention has the following effects.

First, the baggage 60, such as a suitcase, may be delivered to the next destination in accordance with the travel schedule of the traveler, so that the traveler may freely tour, shop, and move without having to carry heavy luggage.

Of course, there will be concerns about the cost of shipping, but in the present invention, through the cost-sharing of the partner, it is possible for the traveler to use the delivery service for free or at a very low cost. That is, in order to use the baggage delivery service using short-range wireless communication according to the present invention, a traveler must purchase beacon accessories 30 and 40 and request a delivery using a dedicated application. Dedicated applications allow you to make reservations or payments for accommodations, tourist attractions, restaurants, public transport, car rentals, shopping malls, etc., and expose advertisements while providing a variety of travel information. Therefore, part of the cost of purchasing beacon accessories (30, 40), part of the contributions provided by partners such as accommodations or restaurants, part of the advertising fee and storage fee paid while leaving baggage (60) in the storage box (110) Since some of the shipping costs will be covered, the shipping cost for the traveler will be close to free, which can significantly increase the service usage rate.

In addition, since the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60 are used, the delivery request for the specific baggage 60 is easy and the real-time delivery state can be checked. Particularly, in the case of checking the location of the baggage 60, it is a method of confirming that communication with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 is performed in real time through the shipper terminal 70, rather than simply using the past information input by the shipper. The accuracy of is very high.

In addition, the beacon accessories (30, 40) mounted on the baggage 60 is not used only for the purpose of delivery request, registration and tracking, it can be used as a theft and loss prevention function in normal. That is, after wearing the beacon accessories (30, 40), such as travel bags, laptops, cameras, wallets, passports 50, paired with the traveler terminal 20, each baggage through a dedicated application of the traveler terminal (20) 60) can detect the distance, and if it is recognized that the deviation is more than a certain distance to immediately generate a warning to prevent the loss or theft situation in advance, it is possible to check whether the loss in real time.

In particular, beacon accessories (30, 40) to be applied in the present invention is made detachably to the baggage (60), by supplying power only when worn correctly, intentional device departure is fundamentally impossible. That is, because the conventional Bluetooth device simply puts the device in the bag, a person with an impure intention pulls out only the Bluetooth device and packs only the baggage 60 so that a warning does not occur so that the stolen situation cannot be completely blocked. If accessories (30, 40) are correctly worn in baggage (60), they cannot be removed from baggage (60), and if only the beacon accessories (30, 40) are removed and intentionally detached or damaged to take only baggage (60) The warning is generated in the traveler terminal 20 due to the interruption of the power supply, thereby completely eliminating the risk of theft. Of course, for this purpose, the beacon accessories 30 and 40 should not be worn on the detachable part of the main body such as a travel bag, and it is preferable to wear it in a structure that cannot be detached such as a handle.

In addition, the location of the baggage 60 (more specifically, the location of the traveler terminal 20 which has received the signals of the beacon accessories 30 and 40 mounted on the baggage 60), the traveler terminal 20 or the baggage delivery service Stored in the providing system, when the event occurs, the location information of the baggage 60 is output to the traveler terminal 20, so that the baggage 60 can be traced back from the final location where theft or loss occurred, and thus lost items are returned. You are more likely to find it.

Meanwhile, the baggage delivery service according to the present invention deals with the delivery of the baggage 60 between the lodging and the lodging as a basic service, but according to the implementation, it is possible to leave the baggage 60 in the unmanned storage box 110 and request delivery to a desired destination. Do. That is, after storing the baggage 60 equipped with the beacon accessories 30 and 40 in the storage box 110 installed in an airport, a train station, a subway station, a bus terminal, a tourist attraction, or a shopping mall, it is delivered through a dedicated application of the traveler terminal 20. If a request is made, only a legitimate shipper may open the cover 110 and the baggage 60 to be picked up, thereby enabling safe storage and delivery of the baggage 60. Of course, some of the fees for using the storage box 110 may be covered by shipping costs.

In addition, in order to use the baggage delivery service according to the present invention, it is preferable to purchase the beacon accessories 30 and 40 before the start of the travel schedule, but even if the beacon accessories 30 and 40 have not been prepared, they are everywhere. Using the installed vending machine 120 can be conveniently purchased and registered. Of course, if you book your accommodation or transportation in advance through a dedicated application, you can easily manage your travel schedule, but even if you purchase the beacon accessories (30,40) and install a dedicated application, you can enter your travel schedule immediately after delivery. The service is very accessible because it can be requested.

On the other hand, using the dedicated application and beacon accessories (30, 40) to be handled in the present invention, it is possible to perform a post-laundry delivery service with the delivery request for the baggage (60). In other words, it may be difficult to wash clothes during a long trip, beacon accessories (30, 40) to the clothes to be washed, some baggage (60) through the dedicated application to request delivery directly to the next destination, The clothes may be requested to be shipped after washing, and the central server 100 may cooperate with a delivery company as well as a laundry company to support washing of clothes to be washed and then delivered to the next destination. The washing request and the delivery process of the laundry may be made almost the same as the delivery process of the baggage 60.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications, changes and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention. And additions should be considered to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
