The transceiver 410 may receive the secure sound signal in response to the first terminal of the plurality of terminals receiving the touch signal and the secure sound signal from the first sound stamp among the plurality of sound stamps. Specifically, when a specific terminal receives a secure sound signal output by a specific sound stamp, the specific terminal transmits the secure sound signal to the transmission / reception unit 410 of the information processing apparatus. Therefore, the transceiver 410 receives the secure sound signal through the terminal.

The processing unit 420 extracts first information corresponding to the first sound stamp from the storage unit 430. [ That is, a specific sound stamp is identified using the secure sound signal, and information corresponding to the specific sound stamp is extracted from the storage unit 430.

The information corresponding to a particular sound stamp may be, but is not limited to, information about a business card, a contact, a photograph, a picture, an e-mail, an address, an area of interest, product information, Various information related to the user of the sound stamp may be stored in the storage unit 430, and the processing unit 420 may extract at least one of the information.

The first terminal may be a user terminal connected to a specific sound stamp. The second information may be information associated with the first terminal user and may, by way of example but not limitation, be a business card, a contact, a photograph, e-mail information, and the like.

The information processing apparatus 400 may transmit the extracted first information to the first terminal using the transceiver 410 and may transmit the second information to a second terminal corresponding to the sound stamp To the terminal of the base station).

For example, information (first information) such as a business card of a user (participation company) corresponding to a specific sound stamp can be transmitted to a specific first terminal (user terminal) Information (second information) to the second terminal (sound stamp user terminal).

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment may operate as a secure sound signal and touch signal reception step 510, a secure sound signal transmission step 520 and a sound stamp correspondence information reception step 530.

The secure sound signal and touch signal reception step 510 is a step of receiving a secure sound signal and a touch signal from a sound stamp. Specifically, since a sound signal is radiated from a speaker to all directions, a plurality of terminals can simultaneously receive the sound signal. Accordingly, a touch signal may be received together with the plurality of terminals to determine a specific user terminal to transmit the secure sound signal. When the user terminal simultaneously receives the secure sound signal and the touch signal, the secure sound signal may be transmitted to the server.

And then transmitting 520 the secure sound signal. After the user terminal performs step 510, it may transmit the received secure sound signal to the server. The server may be an information processing device, and when receiving a secure sound signal from a user terminal, the server decrypts the secure sound signal and extracts the sound stamp that transmitted the secure sound signal. And transmits information corresponding to the sound stamp to the user terminal.

Finally, step 530 is receiving information corresponding to the sound stamp. Information corresponding to the sound stamp can be received from the server. The information corresponding to the sound stamp may be information associated with a user of the sound stamp previously stored in the server.

Illustratively, but not exclusively, the information corresponding to the sound stamp may be various information such as a business card, a contact, a picture, an e-mail, an address, an area of interest, product information (PDF,

For example, when a participant touches a terminal of a visitor with a sound stamp in an exhibition, information such as a name card of a participant, a product catalog, and the like can be transmitted to the visitor terminal through the series of steps. That is, it is possible to transmit various data files simply by using touch and sound signals, without requiring a procedure for exchange of cumbersome business cards and catalogs. As a result, visitors of the exhibition are able to receive all the information of the exhibitor by simply executing the app and touching the terminal with a sound stamp.

6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a sound stamp according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The sound stamp according to one embodiment may operate as a one-time password receiving step 610, a touch signal and sound signal generating step 620, and a touch signal and sound signal input step 630.

The one-time password receiving step 610 is a step of receiving a one time password from the server (information processing apparatus). In some cases, it is possible to directly generate the touch signal and the sound signal without receiving the one-time password. However, if security is enhanced, a step of receiving a one-time password from the server can be performed.

The one-time password may be any random number generated in the server using a method such as time synchronization.

Next, a touch signal and sound signal generation step 620 is performed. The sound stamp can generate a touch signal and a sound signal. Here, the touch signal may be a touch pattern signal whose contact area changes with time, and the sound signal may be a secure sound signal.

The processor located inside the sound stamp can directly generate the touch pattern signal and the secure sound signal, and can generate the touch pattern signal and the secure sound signal in response to the one-time password (OTP) received by the communication unit.

The touch signal can be input by changing the capacitance of the touch portion having the capacitance. The touch portion can change the electrostatic capacity in accordance with the generated touch signal and change the electrostatic capacity so that the contact region changes with time in accordance with the touch pattern signal. The sound signal is input to the user terminal through the speaker. The user terminal includes a microphone capable of receiving a sound signal, and the speaker can input a sound signal or a secure sound signal to the user terminal by outputting the sound signal.

In FIG. 6, a series of processes for operating the sound stamp are described, and the operation process is performed by the sound stamp itself. Therefore, all steps can be stamped automatically if the user touches the sound stamp to the terminal of the exhibitor.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment. The information processing apparatus (or server) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a one-time password transmission step 710, a connection step 620 of a terminal with a sound stamp, a sound signal reception step 630, and an information transmission step 640 ). &Lt; / RTI >

The one-time password transmission step 710 is a step in which the information processing apparatus generates a one-time password and transmits it as a sound stamp. Illustratively, but not exclusively, the information processing apparatus may generate a one-time password using a time synchronization scheme. The generated one-time password can be wirelessly transmitted to the sound stamp.

Step 710 may include both generating and transmitting the one-time password, and step 710 may be skipped if the sound stamp does not require a one-time password.

Next, the terminal and the sound stamp are connected (step 720). The connection between the user terminal and the sound stamp is not directly involved in the server, but is performed between the user terminal and the sound stamp. After transmitting the one-time password, the sound stamp can be connected to the user terminal by inputting the touch signal and the sound signal corresponding to the one-time password.

When the user terminal receives the touch signal and the sound signal from the sound stamp, the user terminal transmits the received sound signal to the information processing apparatus. Accordingly, the information processing apparatus can receive (730) the sound signal transmitted by the user terminal.

The received sound signal may be a secure sound signal and may be a secure sound signal based on the one-time password generated and transmitted in step 710.

Finally, when the information processing apparatus receives the sound signal, it transmits (740) information corresponding to the sound signal. Specifically, the transmitting / receiving section of the information processing apparatus receives the sound signal, the processing section determines the sound stamp corresponding to the sound signal, and extracts the information corresponding thereto from the storage section. And transmits the extracted information to the user terminal through the transmission / reception unit.

For example, the information may be a business card of an exhibitor participating company, a publicity image, and the like. If the series of steps is performed, the information of the exhibitor participating company can be transmitted to the terminal of the exhibitor participant.

The information processing apparatus for providing the selective advertisement may be composed of a transmission / reception unit and a processing unit.

More specifically, the information processing apparatus may further include a storage (not shown) inside or outside the apparatus, and the storage may store various information related to exhibitors participating companies. According to one embodiment, the information may be enterprise information of a participating company, product information, a product promotion video, and the like.

Beacons do not store information directly, but are uploaded to the server and the server stores various information of participating companies. The user information of the terminal is not stored directly by the terminal but is stored in the server. Therefore, the beacon is a medium for authentication of a unique ID, not a storage device. The transmitting and receiving unit transmits and receives various information to and from the terminal. The transmitting and receiving unit can receive the ID information of an arbitrary first beacon and the profile information of the terminal user from the terminal and can transmit the third information to the terminal.

The transmitting and receiving unit may transmit the third beacon corresponding to the third information and the second information to the terminal when the terminal approaches the predetermined distance or less.

The processor receives the user profile from the terminal and extracts third information corresponding to the user profile. Illustratively, but not exclusively, the user profile may include the user's interest field information. When the field of interest is wireless communication, various information related to the participant corresponding to the wireless communication field can be extracted as the third information.

The third information to be extracted is transmitted to the terminal when a certain condition is satisfied by the transmitting and receiving unit as described above.

An information processing apparatus including a transmitting / receiving unit and a processing unit transmits / receives information to / from a terminal, and the terminal receives information from the beacon.

More specifically, the information processing apparatus may include a repository. The store may store information of participating exhibitors participating in the exhibition. The exhibitors can upload their company information, products, homepage addresses, contacts, business cards, video ads, etc. before the exhibition begins.

The user terminal receives identification (ID) information from at least one nearby beacon. It is possible to simultaneously receive a plurality of beacons and to receive only the beacon ID located closest to the terminal among the plurality of beacons.

The terminal transmits the ID information of the received beacon to the information processing apparatus. Also, information on a profile stored in advance from the terminal user can be transmitted to the server. The user can set his / her interest field in advance in the profile according to the type of the exhibition, and in some cases, can set more personal information about the sex, age and the like. The profile set in advance may be transmitted to the information processing apparatus and stored in the repository.

The information processing apparatus can transmit participating company information corresponding to the user profile received from the terminal to the terminal. For example, the server may transmit information of the company A corresponding to the personal information received from the terminal to the terminal when the area of interest is wireless communication. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to transmit information of various companies corresponding to the kind of interest, age group, gender, etc. to the terminal.

According to one embodiment, it is also possible to selectively transmit the information of the company A only when the position of the terminal is close to the vicinity of the company A, which is a company of interest. The server does not transmit the information of all the participating companies included in the area of interest to the terminal at once but also determines whether or not the participant is located in a specific beacon (third beacon) The third information can be transmitted. It is possible to transmit the information of the A company when the terminal is located near a company of interest, for example, the A company booth (below a predetermined distance). Whether or not the mobile terminal is located close to the company A booth can be determined by using a signal received from a beacon located inside the company booth A and an estimated location of the terminal. More specifically, it is possible to place a beacon in a booth for each vendor, and the processing unit of the information processing apparatus can determine that the intensity of a signal received from the beacon is close to a certain magnitude or more.

More specifically, the processing unit can estimate the position of the terminal using the ID of the beacon transmitted by the terminal. Further, in the case where the terminal has a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System), it is also possible to estimate using the position on the coordinates received by the terminal from the satellite.

When estimating the position of the terminal using the ID of the beacon, the position of the terminal can be estimated by receiving the strength of the signal received by the terminal from each beacon. It is possible to estimate the position of the terminal using the principle that the intensity of a signal emitted from the nearest beacon is received most when a plurality of beacons emit signals of the same intensity.

A method for providing a selective advertisement according to an exemplary embodiment includes receiving a first beacon ID 810, transmitting a first beacon ID and a user profile 820, extracting a third information 830, (840) and a third information transmission step (850).

The step 810 of receiving the first beacon ID is a step in which the terminal receives the unique identification information of the beacon from any nearby first beacon. More specifically, the ID information of the beacon may be information composed of a series of numbers and / or characters, has unique ID information for each beacon, and can identify a beacon using the ID information.

Next, the terminal transmits a first beacon ID and a user profile (step 820). The terminal can transmit the beacon ID information received from the beacon to the information processing apparatus. The terminal can receive beacon ID information from a plurality of beacons, so that it is possible to transmit ID information of an arbitrary first beacon located closest to the terminal among the plurality of beacons to the information processing apparatus. Illustratively, but not exclusively, the beacon located closest to the terminal may be the beacon having the largest intensity of the beacon signal received at the terminal.

The terminal can transmit the user profile to the information processing apparatus together with the beacon ID information. The user profile may be any of the location, sex, age, and area of interest of the terminal user. But it is not limited thereto and may be various information inputted by the user. According to one embodiment, a terminal can transmit a user's interest field to a server.

The information processing apparatus receives the first beacon ID and the user profile using the transceiver.

The processing unit then extracts (830) the third information corresponding to the user profile. More specifically, the second information corresponding to the user profile (for example, an area of interest), which is previously stored in the repository and is selectively provided, is extracted.

The processor determines whether the distance between the terminal and the second beacon is Xm or less (840). The processor estimates the position of the terminal using the above-described method. (840) whether or not the estimated distance between the position of the terminal and the second beacon is Xm or less. The X may be any number, and the unit of distance is described as m [meters], but it is not limited thereto and can be variously expressed. Illustratively but not exclusively, it may be determined whether the distance between the terminal and the second beacon is within 1 m.

And the second beacon means a specific beacon corresponding to the third information. For example, if the third information is the information of the company A, it means the beacon of the company A. This is an example only if the third piece of information is another company.

As a result, the processor determines whether or not the distance between the second beacon corresponding to the second information and the terminal is less than a predetermined distance.

The information processing apparatus transmits (850) the third information to the terminal when the distance between the terminal and the second beacon is Xm or less. If the distance from the second beacon exceeds Xm, the third information is not transmitted and the process ends.

Illustratively, the third information may be an advertisement of a participant corresponding to an area of interest, and information such as a promotional image, a business card, a contact, a company information, and a home page address may be used.

When the information processing apparatus transmits (850) the third information, the terminal can notify the terminal user of the reception of the information using push, text, sound, vibration, or the like.

According to the selective advertisement providing method according to the embodiment, it is possible to provide the advertisement information of the company when the user approaches the company of interest.

FIG. 14 shows an execution algorithm of a terminal according to an embodiment. Each step performed by the terminal in the exhibition is a beacon ID receiving step 1410, a beacon ID transmitting step 1420, and an information receiving step 1430.

Specifically, the beacon ID receiving step 1410 receives the ID of the beacon from the beacon to be authenticated. The beacon operated in the exhibition has a unique ID for each beacon, and transmits the beacon ID to the terminal when the beacon and the terminal perform authentication through touch (touch) and sound. Accordingly, the terminal receives the beacon ID from the beacon (1410).

Next, the terminal performs a step 1420 of transmitting a beacon ID. And transmits the beacon ID received from the beacon to the operation server (information processing apparatus) of the exhibition. When transmitting the ID of the beacon to the operation server of the exhibition, the operation server transmits information corresponding to the beacon to the terminal. The information may be, by way of example and not limitation, a business card or a product catalog of a beacon user. The catalog may include a moving image, a picture file, and the like in addition to the document file.

Finally, the terminal receives the information from the operation server of the exhibition (1430). The received information is information corresponding to the beacon described above, and may be, but not limited to, information such as a business card of the beacon user.

Through the above-described steps, the terminal can transmit information by touching (touching) with beacons and / or sound only, and it is not necessary to print and transmit a separate printed matter, thereby reducing the printing cost. In addition, it is also possible to easily transmit the information to the terminal even in the case of information, for example, moving pictures, which are constrained to be expressed in printed matter. It is not necessary to provide a separate large-sized television or monitor for providing the moving picture to the user of the terminal participating in the exhibition.

15 shows an execution algorithm of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment. And a server (information processing device) for post-marketing of the exhibition.

The information processing apparatus includes a step 1510 of receiving an ID of a beacon, a step of confirming information of a transmitting terminal 1520, a step of storing a beacon ID and terminal matching information 1530, And transmitting the correspondence information (step 1550).

Specifically, in each step, the information processing apparatus receives (1510) the ID of a specific beacon from the terminal. The ID of the beacon to be received is the ID of the beacon that has performed authentication with at least one of the at least one beacon operated in the exhibition. For example, the information processing apparatus receives (1510) the ID of a specific X beacon through the terminal of the A user.

Next, the information processing apparatus confirms 1520 the information of the terminal that transmitted the ID of the beacon. That is, it confirms which terminal has transmitted the ID of the specific beacon. For example, when the terminal transmits the ID of the X beacon, it confirms whether the terminal is terminal A or terminal B user.

Subsequently, the information processing apparatus stores the beacon ID and the terminal matching information (1530). Specifically, the terminal that transmitted the ID of the specific beacon matches the specific beacon and stores the information. By way of example but not limitation, the A-user terminal that has transmitted the ID of the X beacon and the information (X beacon-A user terminal) that matches the X beacon may be stored.

During the exhibition, a plurality of terminals can transmit a plurality of beacon IDs, and each of the matching information can be stored.

After a certain period of time or after a certain period of time, the exhibition ends, and the information processing apparatus extracts the matching correspondence information (1540) and transmits the matching correspondence information (1550). The information processing apparatus extracts matching correspondence information (fourth information) using the matching information stored at the end of the exhibition (1540). The matching correspondence information (fourth information) to be extracted illustratively includes information of the terminal that has transmitted the beacon ID most frequently, information that is commonly associated with the beacons by analyzing the beacon ID transmitted from the specific terminal, And information on other exhibitions being held. Specifically, for example, when the terminal of the user A transmits the IDs of the X beacons, the Y beacons, and the Z beacons to the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus sets the common points between the users of the X beacons, Y beacons, and Z beacons It is possible to extract the feature of residence in Seoul. Or if the terminal of the A user continuously transmits the ID of the X beacon around the X beacon, information that the degree of interest of the user of the X beacon is high can be extracted. The present invention is not limited thereto, and common information that can be extracted from the information corresponding to the beacon is sufficient.

The information processing apparatus can transmit information of a field commonly associated with a plurality of extracted beacons. Information of another exhibition scheduled to be performed in Seoul may be transmitted (1550) to the terminal of the A user in response to the residence characteristic of the Seoul. Or when introducing a new product of an X beacon user who is highly interested in the user A, product introduction information or the like to the terminal of the A user.

In addition, the information processing apparatus can select only the terminals transmitting and receiving with more than a predetermined number of beacons among a plurality of terminals, and provide additional information. By way of example, but not limiting, more than ten beacons can be selected and transmitted to provide a free admission ticket for other exhibitions.

That is, through the above-described steps, it is possible to perform post marketing that provides relevant information corresponding to the characteristics of each participant in the exhibition.
