Method for providing mobile service using code map

technical field

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing mobile services using code maps, and in particular to using code maps to provide mobile services such as content providing services, geographic information providing services, product information providing services, taxi calling services, and personal contact information providing services , payment services and the like system and method.

Background technique

Recently, mobile terminals are widely used and mobile communication technology is rapidly developing. Accordingly, many mobile services employing mobile terminals are being continuously developed to be provided to users.

However, there is still a need for new mobile services to more conveniently provide various contents and enable users to use various services more easily. Recently, with the development of mobile communication technology and the popularization of mobile terminals, many additional mobile services using mobile terminals have been researched and provided. However, there are more demands for new additional mobile services to facilitate the provision of various contents and services.

Now, along with the popularity of the Internet, in many cases, beside the product advertisements in newspapers, magazines and catalogs, there are URLs or purchase information that provide commodities. It is an aggressive marketing method in which a simple advertisement prompts the person who reads the advertisement to purchase the product.

However, considering these marketing methods practically, when a person reads a product of interest on an advertisement in a newspaper or magazine, memorizes or puts the website URL in a memo, and thereafter, uses a computer to connect to the website and purchase the product, such a case is very little.

Therefore, to overcome the irrationality of the usual commodity advertisement method, there is an increasing demand for providing services using mobile terminals to effectively induce people who read the advertisement to purchase products.

And, tourist usually can bring a guidebook for guidance when traveling to a specific place. However, due to limited space, it is difficult for a travel guide to include a lot of information and due to being written by a usual standard, the travel guide cannot actually provide all the travel information that suits the particular taste of the tourist.

In particular, there is a problem that foreigners cannot sufficiently use the tourist guide because it is written in a specific language.

And, when a tourist goes to an unfamiliar place, for example, when a tourist finds a specific building, he finds a building in a subway with a reference direction mark. However, it is difficult to spot the building using only directional markers.

Also, since there are usually large buildings and public offices in the directional signs, the directional signs are of little help to tourists when they want adequately categorized information for restaurants, cultural facilities, gymnasiums.

Therefore, overcoming the irrationality of conventional methods of providing tourism and geographic information, there is an increasing demand for a method of providing tourism and geographic information in sufficient and convenient detail using mobile terminals.

Recently, with the development of mobile communication technology and the popularization of mobile terminals, more and more transport services using mobile terminals have begun to be provided. For example, provide a taxi call service that uses a mobile terminal to call a taxi driver to explain the user's location, or use a mobile terminal to select a transportation service and a taxi call service in the mobile Internet and notify the taxi driver of the user's location.

However, there is a problem that a taxi calling service that calls a taxi driver cannot be used when the user does not know the phone number of the taxi driver, and there is also a problem that the taxi cannot reach the unfamiliar location when the user cannot explain it. question.

Moreover, there is a problem that the user needs to take different steps to call a taxi service using the mobile Internet, and during this period, there will be a lot of charges.

Therefore, to overcome the irrationality of the usual method of calling a taxi, there is an increasing demand for a method of conveniently calling a taxi using a mobile terminal.

And, the barcode represents a product category according to a Universal Product Code (UPC) and is widely used in a point-of-sale system (POS) of a market, book classification, identification, and the like.

Also, application fields of general barcodes are increasing. For example, a business card with a barcode has been developed, and a barcode reader (reader) in the mobile terminal scans the barcode written in the business card to call the user or store user information in the mobile terminal.

However, there is a problem in that the method of calling using the barcode written on the business card requires a barcode reader in the mobile terminal. Therefore, there is a problem that this method cannot be used in general mobile terminals without a barcode reader. And this method needs to make bar code under off-line (off-line) state, so there is no way to make bar code with user's phone number on the Internet.

Therefore, to overcome the irrationality of a general method of providing user contact information through barcodes, there is an increasing demand for a method of providing user contact information using the Internet and for ordinary mobile terminals without barcode readers. Currently, in addition to personal expenses for newspaper or milk, different taxes such as utility charges and local taxes are usually paid by direct debit. However, the payment method of taxes and fees by direct transfer has a problem in that because of the risk of loss of direct transfer bills and the tendency of banks to reject direct transfers, the expense ratio of receiving direct transfer bill providers decreases and receiving direct transfers It is difficult for users of notes to pay taxes through direct debit services.

Therefore, overcoming the irrationality of the usual method of payment by direct transfer, there is an increasing demand for a more convenient payment method by direct transfer using a code map.

As described above, in order to optimize the usual inconvenience of various services, there is an increasing demand for a method of more conveniently providing various services by employing a mobile terminal. Therefore, the present invention discloses a method for providing various mobile additional services through the code diagram disclosed in Korean Patent No. 0414523 (Title: Apparatus and Method for Obtaining Data by Extracting Codes from Patterns, Applicant: iconloab.Inc.) Method and device, the additional service is extended and adapted to the mobile terminal service.

As shown in FIG. 32 , in the payment request message 3200 are recorded a service identifier 3201 , terminal information 3203 and a barcode image 3205 .

The service identifier 2221 is a part that records the type of service that the service provider server 2830 should provide. The service provider server 2830 can provide various services using the barcode 60, for example, user contact information providing service, taxi calling service, advertising service, Product information provision service and payment service, etc. For example, four bits are allocated to the service identifier 3201 so that 0001, 0010, 0011, 0100, and 0101 can be used as identifiers representing taxi call service, advertisement service, product information providing service, and payment service, respectively. Therefore, the service identifier 3201 in this embodiment is 0101. In this case, the number of bits allocated to the service identifier 3201 may be appropriately changed according to the type of service provided by the service provider server 2830, if necessary.

The terminal information 3203 is the telephone number of the user terminal 10 .

The barcode image 3205 is obtained through the barcode 60 captured by the photographing unit 11, and the captured barcode 60 is converted into digital image data. As described above, when the user terminal 10 is not provided with the decoder 13 , the barcode image 3205 is required, but when the user terminal 10 is provided with the decoder 13 , the barcode image 3205 is not required.

Fig. 33 is a flowchart showing a code map generation procedure in which billing information is described.

The service provider server 2830 generates coded information including payment information and billing information corresponding to the payer at step S3300, and generates a barcode 60 corresponding to the coded information at step S3310.

If in step 3320, the payer who has to pay the fee accesses the service provider server 2830 to clear the billing quantity and payment period through the user terminal 10 and sends a billing request message to the service provider server 2830, then the service provider server 2830 will receive the billing request from the service provider server 2830 The charging amount and payment term are extracted from the charging database and sent to the user terminal 10 .

In step S3350, the user who has detected the charging amount and the payment deadline sends a barcode issuing request message to the service provider server 2830 through the user terminal 10.

In steps S3360 and S3370 , the service provider server 2830 extracts the barcode 60 from the billing database 2840 based on the received barcode sending request message and sends the extracted barcode 60 to the user terminal 10 .

If the user terminal 10 receives the barcode 60 from the service provider server 2830, the user terminal 10 displays the barcode 60 on the screen and stores the received barcode at step S3380.

In this embodiment, the service provider server 2830 generates and extracts the barcode 60 to send to the user terminal 10 in response to the request from the user terminal 10 . However, obviously, after receiving the barcode issue request message from the user terminal 10, the service provider server 2830 generates the barcode 60 in response to the barcode issue request message. Likewise, obviously, the service provider server 2830 receives the barcode generated by the code issuing server and sends the barcode 60 to the user terminal 10 instead of generating the barcode 60 directly.

The steps of the payment service using the code map according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

Fig. 34 is a flowchart of a method for providing payment services using a code map according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention. The method shown in FIG. 34 is the case where the payment transaction is processed by the payment processing unit 2870 .

In step S3550, the control unit 2834 of the service provider server 2830 detects whether the billing information received from the user terminal 10 is the same as the billing information stored in the billing information database.

If the two are different, the service provider server 2830 sends a payment prohibition message to the user terminal 10 at step S3560. If they are the same, then in step S3570, the service provider server 2830 sends a payment request message including user information and billing information to the payment server 2880.

Finally, at step S3580, the payment server 2880 processes the corresponding payment transaction based on the received payment request message, and if the payment transaction is completed, sends a payment completion message to the service provider server 2830 at step S3590. The service provider server 2830 sends a payment completion message to the user terminal 10 .

Fig. 36 is a flowchart of a method for paying a bill using a code map according to the thirteenth embodiment of the present invention. The thirteenth embodiment of the present invention is the case where the user terminal 10 does not include the decoder 13 .

First, at step S3600, the user terminal 10 takes a photo of the barcode 60 recorded on one side of the GIRO ticket. For example, after selecting the barcode menu on the user terminal, press the camera button, and then use the camera unit 11 such as a camera provided on the terminal to take a photo of the barcode part of the GIRO bill.

In step S3610, the user terminal 10 sends a payment request message including the photographed barcode image to the service provider server 2830.

In step S3620, the service provider server 2830 analyzes the service identifier 3201 included in the received payment request message and identifies the service type. That is, the code distribution unit 2832 of the service provider server 2380 identifies the service type as payment service by analyzing the service identifier 3201, and sends the barcode image 3205 included in the received payment request message to the barcode image analysis unit 2833.

The barcode image analyzing unit 2833 analyzes the received barcode image 3205 to extract encoded information and sends the encoded information to the encoded information analyzing unit 2835 in step S3630.

In step S3640, the encoded information analysis unit 2835 analyzes the received encoded information and extracts user information and billing information corresponding to the encoded information. In other words, the coded information analysis unit 2835 refers to the billing information database 2840 to extract user information and billing information corresponding to the received coded information from the billing information database 2840 .

In step S3650, the service provider server 2830 sends a payment request message including the extracted user information and billing information to the payment server.

Finally, at step S3660, the payment server 2880 processes the corresponding payment transaction based on the received payment request message, and if the payment transaction is completed, sends a payment completion message to the service provider server 2830 at step S3670. In step 3680 , the service provider server 2830 sends a payment complete message to the user terminal 10 .
