Accordingly, the method of providing a zone-based service according to the present invention may be performed using another system that performs similar functions in addition to the zone-based service system 100 according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of a method of providing a zone-based service according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method of providing a zone based service according to the present invention.

The first embodiment of the method of providing a zone-based service according to the present invention is characterized in that, as shown in FIG. 4, when the zone terminal 200 detects entrance and exit to and from a zone (S110) (S130) in which the server 300 controls the external device D in accordance with the information on access to the zone (S120), and the server 300 And providing status information of the external device (D) (S140).

The zone terminal 200 can detect the access to the zone (S110).

The entrance sensing unit 210 of the zone terminal 200 can form a communication link with the electronic device E through short-range wireless communication when the electronic device E approaches within a predetermined range as described above. Thereby, the zone terminal 200 can detect the access to the zone. When the access is detected, the zone terminal 200 can generate a signal or generate information on access to the zone.

Meanwhile, when a communication link is established between the zone terminal 200 and the electronic device E, the entrance sensing unit 210 can receive user information from the electronic device E through short-range wireless communication.

The zone terminal 200 may transmit information on access to the zone to the server 300 (S120)

The communication unit 220 of the terminal 200 can transmit the information on access to the zone to the server 300 when the terminal 200 senses access to the zone. Here, the information on access to the zone may include information reflecting whether a signal generated according to the detection of access to the zone, that is, access to the zone, and further includes user information and zone identification information .

Specifically, the zone terminal 200 may transmit user information for identifying a user entering and leaving the zone and zone identification information for identifying a zone managed by the zone terminal 200 to the server 300.

The server 300 may control the external device D according to the information on access to the zone (S130).

First, the server 300 receives information reflecting whether or not access is made to the zone from the zone terminal 200 through the first communication unit 310, and the control unit 340 can determine access to the zone accordingly .

Accordingly, when there is access to the zone, the control unit 340 can control the external device D to provide the zone-based service. At this time, the control unit 340 may generate a control signal and control the external device D by transmitting a control signal to the external device D through the second communication unit 320.

At this time, the control unit 340 can determine an external device D to be controlled according to the user information. The control unit 340 refers to the list of the external devices D per user stored in the database 330 and stores the list of the external devices D received from the local terminal 200 in the database 330 The external device D corresponding to the user information can be selected and the external device D to be controlled can be determined.

For example, when the first user is detected to be out of the zone, the controller 340 searches the database 330 to determine whether the first vehicle, which is the external device D assigned to the first user, D). Here, the control unit 340 may start the first vehicle and control the elevator to move to the position where the first user is located. Similarly, when the second user deviates from the zone, the control unit 340 sets the database 330 to the second vehicle that is the external device D assigned to the second user and the external device D that controls the elevator You can decide.

In addition, the control unit 340 may determine the zone-based service to be performed by the external device D according to the zone identification information. The control unit 340 refers to the service operation for each zone stored in the database 330 and displays the service operation corresponding to the zone identification information received from the zone terminal 200 Based service to be performed by the external device (D).

For example, if a user is detected to be out of the first zone, the control unit 340 may search the database 330 to determine that the elevator is to be moved to the first zone location as a service operation. Similarly, if a user is detected to depart from the second zone, the control unit 340 may determine that the elevator is to be moved to the location of the second zone as a service operation.

In addition, the control unit 340 may acquire weather information obtained from the Internet or the like, schedule information of the user from the user's electronic device E, and may further determine the service to be performed by considering the information. For example, when the weather is cold, if the vehicle is selected as the external device D, the vehicle's heater will be turned on or the air conditioner of the vehicle will be turned on if the weather is warm.

When the server 300 determines the zone-based service to be performed by the external device D and the external device D to be controlled by the server 300, the control unit 340 generates a control signal and transmits the generated control signal through the second communication unit 320 To the external device (D). Accordingly, the external device D receives the control signal and performs the operation according to the control signal, so that the user can receive the zone-based service.

The server 300 can provide status information of the external device D (S140). This step will be described with reference to Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an interface for displaying the status of an external device D in a zone-based service providing method according to the present invention.

Here, the status information of the external device D may include at least one of information on the position of the external device D and information on the operation performed by the external device D. For example, when the external device D is an elevator, it may be information on the current position of the elevator and the number of moving floors. For example, when the external device D is a vehicle, it may include information about the position where the vehicle is parked, whether the vehicle is turned on, whether the heater or the air conditioner of the vehicle is operating, and the like.

The server 300 can directly receive information on the operation state from the external device D through the second communication unit 320. [ For example, the server 300 may receive information regarding the elevator's position, the moving direction, the number of facing rooms, and the like from the elevator.

Alternatively, the server 300 may acquire information on the operation state from the device monitoring the external device D. For example, the parking lot may be equipped with a device monitoring the parked position of the vehicle, and the server 300 may receive the parking position of the vehicle from the monitoring device.

When the server 300 obtains the status information of the external device D as described above, the control unit 340 can provide the status information to the user's electronic device E through the second communication unit 320. [ At this time, the control unit 340 can determine the user's electronic device E based on the user information received from the local terminal 200. [

For example, when the first user is out of the first zone, the server 300 receives the user information from the zone terminal 200 and determines the first vehicle and the external device D to control the elevator, The server 300 may control the elevator to move to a position where the user is located by turning on the vehicle, turning on the heater, etc. At this time, the server 300 refers to the user information through the second communication unit 320, ) May transmit information informing that the first vehicle is parked in the first position of the parking lot, that the vehicle is starting up, the heater is on, and the elevator is moving up from the fourth floor.

The electronic device E can receive this information and provide such information to the user as shown in Fig.

Furthermore, the electronic device E may receive a signal for controlling the external device D from a user, and may control the external device D to perform a specific operation in accordance with the signal. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when a signal for turning off the heater of the vehicle is inputted from the user, the electronic appliance E transmits the signal to the server 300, and the server 300 transmits the signal to the external device D) so that the heater of the vehicle can be turned off. Of course, it is also possible to transmit a control signal to turn off the heater directly from the electronic device E to the vehicle.

Here, the authentication information may mean information such as a password or an identification code for accessing the zone. When there are a plurality of zones, the authentication information may be set differently for each zone, and the user may arbitrarily set the authentication information. In some cases, the user information itself may function as the authentication information.

This authentication information is stored in the user's electronic device E and can be transmitted to the local terminal 200. [ The zone terminal 200 can receive the authentication information from the nearby electronic device E through the proximity wireless communication through the access detection unit 210.

The zone terminal 200 can control access to the zone (S230).

The zone terminal 200 may allow or deny access to the zone based on the received authentication information. The authentication unit 230 of the terminal 200 has an authentication information database storing valid authentication information. The authentication unit 230 refers to the authentication information database to obtain authentication information received from the electronic device E It is possible to authenticate whether it is valid or not.

The access control unit 240 controls access to the zone according to the result of determining whether the authentication information is valid from the authentication unit 230. [ For example, if the authentication information is valid according to the authentication result of the authentication unit 230, the access control unit 240 can allow access to the zone. Specifically, when a security device such as a door lock is installed at an entrance of the zone, the access control unit 240 can make the security device open. Conversely, if it is determined that the authentication information is not valid, the access control unit 240 may deny access to the zone. Specifically, the access control unit 240 may lock the security device of the zone.

The access control unit 240 may include an alarm device. In this case, when the authentication unit 230 inputs invalid authentication information a predetermined number of times or more, the access control unit 240 may output a warning message or an alarm message using the alarm device.

The zone terminal 200 can transmit information on access to the zone to the server 300 (S240).

Here, the information on access to the zone may include at least one of information reflecting whether the zone is in or out, user information, zone identification information, and an authentication result.

The zone terminal 200 can receive the user information from the electronic device E. The authentication result can be determined by the authentication unit 230 using the authentication information received from the electronic device E, May be stored in the zone terminal 200 as information unique to the zone terminal 200.

The zone terminal 200 transmits this information to the server 300 through the communication unit 220 and the first communication unit 310 of the server 300 can receive such information.

The server 300 may transmit the message to another electronic appliance E (S250). This step will be described with reference to Figs. 7 and 8. Fig. FIG. 7 is a diagram for providing a notification message in a second embodiment of a method for providing a zone-based service according to the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a diagram for providing a warning message in a zone-based service providing method according to the present invention .

The server 300 can transmit information on access to the zone received from the zone terminal 200 through the first communication unit 310 to another electronic equipment E through the second communication unit 320. [

First, the server 300 can determine another electronic device E based on zone identification information or user information.

For example, the database 330 of the server 300 may store a user list per zone. This may be a list of persons who can access the zone or who reside in the zone. The server 300 can obtain the zone identification information from the zone terminal 200 and the control unit 340 can determine the user associated with the zone from the database 330 based on the zone identification information. When the user is determined, the server 300 can transmit information on access to the zone through the second communication unit 320 to the electronic device E of the user.

For example, another user list may be stored in the database 330 of the server 300. Another user may refer to a person who has a particular relationship with a particular user, such as a family relationship or a domestic partner. The server 300 can acquire user information from the local terminal 200. The controller 340 can refer to the database 330 based on the user information to determine another user. If another user is determined, the server 300 can transmit information on access to the zone through the second communication unit 320 to the electronic device E of the other user.

Here, the information on access to the zone transmitted to the other electronic device E may include information on access to the zone transmitted from the zone terminal 200 to the server 300. [ In addition, the information on access to and from the zone to be transmitted to the other electronic device E by the server 300 may include access to the zone, authentication result, zone identification information, user information, and the like.

As such, the other electronic device E that has received information on access to the zone can display such information. Thereby, the user of the other electronic device E can receive information on access to the zone in real time.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the first user enters and exits the first zone Z1, that is, when the electronic appliance E1 of the first user is tagged to the zone terminal, The associated second, third, and fourth users may provide a notification message informing that the first user is out of the first zone Z1 through each of the electronic devices E2, E3, and E4. Here, the first user may be a protected person such as a child or an elderly person, and the second, third, and fourth users may be a guardian of a protected person such as a parent.

8, in the case where a specific user who has no access right to the second zone Z2 fails authentication while attempting to enter the second zone Z2, the second zone Z2, The sixth and seventh users associated with the second zone Z2 may be provided with warning messages indicating that there has been an attempt to infiltrate the second zone Z2 through the electronic device E, respectively.

According to a second embodiment of the method for providing a zone-based service according to the present invention, when accessing a specific zone, authentication is performed as to whether or not the user can access the zone through the mobile communication terminal of the user, can do.

Further, when a specific user enters or exits the zone, it can notify the person concerned with the user.

In the zone-based service providing method according to the present invention described above, the steps constituting each embodiment are not essential, and therefore, each embodiment may selectively include the above-described steps. Moreover, each step constituting each embodiment is not necessarily performed according to the order described, and the step described later may be performed before the step described earlier.

In the zone-based service providing method according to the present invention, the embodiments may be used individually or in combination. Further, the steps constituting each embodiment can be used separately or in combination with the steps constituting the other embodiments.

The method of providing a zone-based service according to the present invention may also be stored in a computer-readable recording medium in the form of a code or a program for performing the method.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, The present invention is not limited to the drawings. In addition, the embodiments described in this document can be applied to not only the present invention, but also all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications can be made.
