The user can submit or upload the receipt issued at the point of interest to the service platform through camera photography. In other words, the user may upload a receipt image taken in advance or a receipt image acquired in real time through photographing to the server 150. Accordingly, the visit verification unit 310 may verify the user's visit confirmation to the point of interest by reading the uploaded receipt and confirming the user's visit to the point of interest specified from the reading result. For example, the visit verification unit 310 may provide a text reading function (eg, OCR (optical character reader), etc.), and extract information on a point of interest from a receipt uploaded through the text reading function to You can check user visits of. At this time, the visit verification unit 310 may confirm that the user himself has visited in the proof of visit based on the receipt, and may recognize the visit as a valid visit only. How to confirm that you are visiting will be described in detail later.

In step S420, the information collection unit 320 may collect the information extracted from the receipt as review information on the point of interest visited by the user. The information collection unit 320 may match review information on a point of interest with a corresponding receipt image and uploaded user information, and store and maintain it in a database on the platform. The information collection unit 320 may obtain review information including point of interest information, visit information, menu information, and the like from the receipt submitted by the user. The review information may include information extracted from the receipt as well as information on the Internet related to the information extracted from the receipt. For example, if the point of interest is a restaurant, the point of interest information may include basic information such as the restaurant name (business name), phone number, address, and business type, and the visit information is the date and time the user visited the restaurant, and the total number of visitors. And the like, and the menu information may include quantity and price information for each individual menu ordered by the user, and total payment amount. The information collection unit 320 may check in real time whether a corresponding point of interest is a registered place on the platform based on the information obtained from the receipt, and provide a registration status and a compensation level to the user.

The server 150 can build and maintain the type of business, address, phone number, menu, menu price, etc. of points of interest previously registered on the platform as a database on the platform, and update existing information on the database using information collected from receipts. Or, you can register new information and process reviews. For example, the server 150 may update information on the database by using the point of interest information to obtain a business type of a corresponding location or whether a phone number has been changed. In addition, the server 150 may accumulate the information collected from the receipt to aggregate records related to the point of interest (eg, the number of visitors, total sales status, sales ranking by menu, etc.). In addition, the server 150 may register the point of interest as a new point of interest when the point of interest information collected from the receipt does not exist in the database. The menu list is maintained for each point of interest in the database on the platform. Likewise, if the menu information collected from the receipt does not exist, it is also possible to register as a new menu.

The server 150 may collect evaluation information (e.g., ratings, comments, photos, etc.) for each of the points of interest for service users, and at this time, the evaluation information of the user whose visit confirmation is verified through a receipt is weighted. Can be reflected on the platform. The server 150 provides evaluation information on a point of interest to service users. In this case, the evaluation information of a user whose visit confirmation is verified through a receipt may be displayed separately from other evaluation information.

In step S430, the place recommendation unit 330 may produce and recommend a point of interest list including at least one point of interest. The place recommendation unit 330 may issue a list of points of interest including at least one point of interest among the points of interest visited by the user at the request of the user, and contents that service users can subscribe to the list of points of interest issued by the user. It can be recommended in the form. Also, the place recommendation unit 330 may recommend a point of interest, such as a specific purpose or theme, to service users based on the record related to the point of interest. For example, the user's profile information (e.g., age, gender, place of residence, interest, etc.) is used as reference data for recommendation, and through this,'date place' and'family gathering place' on the platform. 'Can recommend points of interest for various purposes. In addition, the place recommendation unit 330 may recommend a'popular menu' at the point of interest based on a record of each menu of the point of interest, for example, a sales ranking for each menu.

In step S440, the reward providing unit 340 may provide a reward to a user who has produced a corresponding point of interest list based on subscription and review information on the point of interest list. As an example, the reward providing unit 340 may grant a copyright to a corresponding author for a list of points of interest that a user has visited, and whether other users subscribe to the list of points of interest, the number of subscribers, and points of interest of the subscribers. Part of the profits earned from the platform can be distributed over a certain period of time to users who have copyrights for the list of interest points in consideration of reviews and other visits. A detailed method and process of providing rewards based on subscription and review information on the point of interest list will be described in detail later. In addition, the reward providing unit 340 may distribute a portion of the profit for a certain portion of the platform to a user who first registers review information based on a receipt for a point of interest not registered on the platform for a certain period of time. . The profit distribution ratio or the profit distribution period can be determined according to the degree to which the user contributes to the platform.For example, the more users have a list of interest points with copyright or the more subscribers to the list of interest points, the more profits will be distributed. I can.

5 is for explaining an example of a process of producing a list of points of interest.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user_A 510 may upload a receipt of a POI_1 of a point of interest visited by him/her to the place recommendation service platform 550 in the form of an image file through camera photographing or the like. It is possible to prove the visit of the user_A 510 to the point of interest POI_1 by uploading the receipt.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may read the receipt of the point of interest POI_1 uploaded by the user_A 510 to obtain review information including point of interest information, visit information, and menu information from the read result.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may match and store the review information on the POI_1 of the point of interest for which the visit of the user_A 510 is verified, with the identification information and the receipt image file of the user_A 510.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may utilize review information obtained from a receipt uploaded by the user_A 510 in recommending POI_1 of the point of interest to service users.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may provide a reward to the user_A 510 who registered review information by uploading a receipt for the point of interest POI_1. In particular, when the point of interest POI_1 is a point of interest that does not exist on the platform, the place recommendation service platform 550 may distribute a portion of the platform revenue to the user_A 510 who first registered review information.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may produce at least one point of interest that has been verified as a receipt by a receipt at the request of the user_A 510 as a point of interest list 501 and publish it as a subscribeable list. The point of interest list 501 may be directly selected by the user_A 510 or may be composed of points of interest (eg, POI_1 to POI_4) classified according to predetermined criteria (in order of location, type of business, recent review, etc.). .

The place recommendation service platform 550 may grant a copyright, which is the right to the point of interest list 501, to the user_A 510 who has issued the point of interest list 501. The period for acknowledging the right to the point of interest list 501 is set to a predetermined period (eg, 1 year), and compensation may be provided to the user_A 510 during the period.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may recommend a list of points of interest 501 to service users, and service users may subscribe to the list of points of interest 501.

Therefore, when user_A 510 photographs a receipt of a point of interest visited by the user and uploads it to the place recommendation service platform 550, the location recommendation service platform 550 stores the information extracted from the receipt. An interest point list 501 that is automatically saved as review information of a visited point of interest and disclosed to the outside may be generated based on a list of points of interest in which the review information is stored.

6 is for explaining an example of a process of providing a reward to a list producer based on subscription and review information for a list of points of interest.

Referring to FIG. 6, user_B 620 may subscribe to a list of points of interest 501 produced by user_A 510 on the place recommendation service platform 550.

User_B (620) uploads the point of interest included in the point of interest list 501 issued by user_A (510), for example, the receipt of POI_2 to the place recommendation service platform 550, It is possible to prove the visit of the user_B 620.

Similarly, the place recommendation service platform 550 may read the receipt of the point of interest POI_2 uploaded by the user_B 620 and obtain review information including point of interest information, visit information, and menu information from the read result.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may utilize review information obtained from a receipt uploaded by the user_B 620 in recommending POI_2 for a point of interest to service users.

When it is proved that the user_B 620 visited the list of interest points 501 produced by the user_A 510 by uploading a receipt, the right of the user_A 510 is recognized for the list 501 During this period, a certain portion of the revenue generated from the place recommendation service platform 550 may be allocated to the user_A 510 to provide a reward for the point of interest list 501.

User_B 620, whose visit is verified by uploading a receipt for the list of points of interest 501 produced by user_A 510, may also receive a profit distribution as a reward for the visit review of the point of interest POI_2.

Therefore, user_B (620) can subscribe to the point of interest list 501 issued by user_A (510), and visit review through receipt upload for points of interest included in the list 501 to which he is subscribed. Can be left. Accordingly, the place recommendation service platform 550 rewards the user_A 510, the producer of the interest point list 501 to which the user_B 620 subscribes, according to the subscription and visit review of the user_B 620. Can provide.

In the above, a reward model in which a subscription and a visit review are combined for a list of points of interest are described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a reward for a subscription and a reward for a visit review may be separately provided.

The place recommendation service platform 550 may allocate the platform's revenue generated by advertisements for the point of interest as an example of distribution of revenue, and as another example, the manager of the point of interest (eg, the owner) for the reward given to the list producer As a sponsor, you can provide a certain amount of compensation.

7 is for explaining an example of a process of providing a reward provided by a sponsor to a list producer.

Referring to FIG. 7, the place recommendation service platform 550 creates a list for the owners of the points of interest included in the list 501 for the list of points of interest 501 produced by the user_A 510 , Subscriptions, visit reviews, etc. For example, a list of interest points 501 including a point of interest POI_2 is produced, a subscriber of the list of points of interest 501 including the point of interest POI_2 is added, or a list of points of interest 501 including the point of interest POI_2 is subscribed. When the user_B 620 visits the point of interest POI_2, a notification may be provided to an admin page of the point of interest POI_2 or the owner terminal of the point of interest POI_2.

The owner of the point of interest POI_2 becomes a sponsor for the point of interest list 501 and can directly propose the compensation provided to the user_A 510, the producer of the point of interest list 501, and the place recommendation service platform 550 May display a compensation amount proposed by the owner of the POI_2 for the POI_2 for user_A510, and compensate the user_A510, which is a producer of the corresponding list, with respect to the POI_2.

The place recommendation service platform 550 can provide a notification to the owner of the relevant point of interest when a list of points of interest, subscription, visit review, etc. occur, and furthermore, visit the point of interest based on review information through a receipt. Reports including the distribution of users' age, gender, and average payment can be provided together. The owner of the point of interest can perform targeted marketing such as supporting compensation by specifying a list of points of interest on the place recommendation service platform 550.

Hereinafter, a method of confirming the user's own visit will be described.

The process of confirming the user's own visit may be included in the above-described step (S410) and performed by the visit verification unit 310.

8 shows an example of a process of confirming a user's own visit.

Referring to FIG. 8, in step S801, the visit verification unit 310 includes exchangeable image file format (EXIF) information included in the receipt image file when a receipt image file is uploaded from a user terminal, for example, the electronic device 110. Terminal information can be obtained from EXIF information is an image file format used in a camera, and may include location and spatial information such as long-latitude coordinates, elevation, and azimuth angle, along with basic information such as camera model name and shooting exposure degree.

In step (S802), the visit verification unit 310 compares the terminal information obtained from the receipt image file with the terminal information of the actual electronic device 110 that uploads the receipt image file, and whether or not the user is visited according to whether the two terminal information match. Can judge. The visit verification unit 310 compares the terminal information photographing the receipt at the time of uploading the receipt image file and the terminal information actually uploading the receipt, and determines that the uploaded receipt is a receipt by the user's own photographing. You can admit that it is the user's own visit.

9 shows another example of a process of confirming a user's own visit.

Referring to FIG. 9, in step S901, when a receipt image file is uploaded from the electronic device 110, the visit verification unit 310 may obtain location information at the time of photographing a corresponding image, that is, a receipt photographing location from the receipt image file. have. For example, the visit verification unit 310 may acquire location information tagged in the receipt image file or location information included in EXIF information of the receipt image file.

In step S902, the visit verification unit 310 can extract information on the point of interest from the receipt by reading the uploaded receipt image file through a text reading function, and the location of the point of interest using the information extracted from the receipt. Information and visit times can be obtained. In other words, the visit verification unit 310 may obtain the address of the point of interest and the visit time from the result of reading the receipt.

In step S903, the visit verification unit 310 uses the location record collected from the electronic device 110 when the receipt photographing location is near the address of the point of interest extracted from the receipt. It may be determined whether the location information of the device 110 is located within a certain radius of the location information of the point of interest. In this case, the visit verification unit 310 may prove that the receipt is due to the user's own visit if there is a history corresponding to the receipt information in the location record of the electronic device 110. In other words, the visit verification unit 310 determines that the user has actually visited a point of interest if there is a history of being located near the POI place indicated on the receipt within a certain time (eg, 1 hour) before and after the time indicated on the receipt. You can admit that it is the user's own visit.

Accordingly, in the present embodiment, in the proof of visit based on the receipt, it is possible to effectively prevent abusing of the proof of visit using the receipt by confirming that the user has visited and acknowledging that the visit is valid only for the personal visit.

Furthermore, the server 150 may automatically tag related point of interest information to another photo uploaded by the user by using the receipt information uploaded by the user.

It is assumed that the record of uploading the receipt by the user is stored and maintained on the platform, and that the user's visit is confirmed to the uploaded receipt. When a user uploads another photo in the same domain as the place recommendation service or through a related service (social networking service, data cloud service, etc.) that can be linked with the place recommendation service, the same user has already You can automatically tag the point of interest information of the uploaded receipt. As an example, the server 150 compares the terminal information on which the receipt was taken with the terminal information on which other pictures were taken, and determines that it is the same, or (deep learning on the platform or user information that has uploaded the receipt using existing information). Assuming that you know) If the user who uploaded the receipt is included in the other photo, the location information included in the EXIF information of the other photo and the point of interest information of the previously uploaded receipt are checked and the point of interest mapped to the photo Information can be recorded.

Point of interest information automatically mapped to other photos using the receipt information can be utilized in a photo search, and the photos may be provided as a search result of the corresponding point of interest when searching.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when a user uploads a photo through a place recommendation service or another service that can be linked with a place recommendation service, the same user can automatically tag the point of interest information on the photo by using the previously uploaded receipt information. And you can use it when searching for photos.
