Description

Location-based service integration app operation method having multiple app role functions

The present invention relates to an app installed on a smart device, and more particularly, to a method of operating a location-based service integration app having a plurality of app role functions.

The location-based service app is an app that displays the user's own location or the location of the other user on a smart device, and there may be the following problems in implementing the location-based service app. The smart device is not limited in function, and a significant part of the function can be changed or expanded through an app, and includes a smart phone and a smart tablet, hereinafter referred to as a smart device.

First, if it consists of two or more application programs that perform different roles for each function for the same smart app service, in the past, the service operator registers in the application market using different package names for each application program, , the user finds and installs an application program corresponding to his/her desired role function among the plurality of application programs in the market, and signs up for an account. Accordingly, a plurality of application programs performing different roles for the same service had to be registered in the market, respectively, and a plurality of application programs performing different roles for the same service exist in the market.

In this way, for the same smart app service, by registering several application programs that perform different roles for each function in the market, management inefficiency occurs from the service operator's point of view, and from the user's point of view, a similar service product name in the application market Among various application programs, there is a risk of confusion about which application to install, and if it is installed incorrectly, consumer complaints increase, such as having to delete and reinstall, and the installation rate is lowered. .

Second, the location record (WayPoint) data created from the GPS includes the accuracy of the latitude and longitude values, which are coordinate values, as the distance unit, in the name of Accuracy, when acquiring the location value. The smaller the Accuracy value, the more accurate the location. Location records (WayPoints) have a different Accuracy value each time a location is collected, and are stored in the storage device of the user's smart device. When displaying the WayPoints on the map, the existing location-based service application programs call all the WayPoints at once from the storage device of the smart device or the location server regardless of the Accuracy value and display them all on the map.

That is, when WayPoints are retrieved from the storage device of the smart device and displayed on the map, all WayPoints are displayed on the map at once regardless of the Accuracy value. Since they are all displayed on the map at once, it may not be possible to see relatively accurately when trying to check a certain movement route or the area currently located.

Third, WayPoint data created from GPS includes time data when the location value is acquired. WayPoints have different time data each time they are collected and are stored in the storage device of the user's smart device. When the existing location-based service application programs display the WayPoints on the map, all the WayPoints are retrieved from the storage device at once and displayed on the map. The existing applications display a player using only the horizontal playback progress bar to replay from the oldest to the latest in time. Although the position record player is used, using only the horizontal progress bar is functionally simple to use the player.

Fourth, on the map screen in the smart device app, collect the center coordinate value of the zone to set the zone zone, or collect the coordinate value for the pickup location to request a PickUp When trying to do this, a fixed cursor in the form of a dot, circle, or small cross is displayed in the center of the map screen, and the user moves the entire map screen and adjusts the desired position to the cursor while zooming in/out/dragging, and then the cursor Coordinate values, which are latitude and longitude information, were collected. As a result, convenience was lacking. All other apps in the App Market seem to use this method. That is, it is inconvenient to move the entire map screen to a fixed cursor in the center to collect coordinate values, and then adjust the desired position to the cursor while enlarging/reducing/draging it.

Fifth, the apps for smart device location-based services so far have completed the process of entering a user group that allows each user to share their location after signing up for the service, and at a certain time interval set by them. By collecting their GPS location and uploading it to a location server, users of a group of registered users who promised to share their location with each other in advance could see each other's shared location on their app's map.

For this reason, there is no way to immediately know the current location of a specific partner, and after waiting until the specific partner reaches the preset time interval, the other party's app collects the GPS location and uploads it to the location server. Could know. That is, there is the inconvenience of not being able to know the current location of the other party at the required current time.

Sixth, the apps for smart device location-based services so far have collected their GPS location at regular time intervals set by the user when each user signs up for the service and transmitted it to the location server or transmits his or her location to the other party or each other. It is transmitted to users of the user group sharing the location, so that the location information is always exposed to the other party or users of the user group sharing the location 24 hours a week.

Seventh, apps for smart device location-based services so far have completed the process of entering a user group that allows each user to share their location after signing up for the service, and shake the smart device in an emergency. Or, by throwing a smart device, a predefined SOS request message was automatically transmitted. In this way, although a predefined SOS request message is automatically transmitted when an SOS is requested, it is inconvenient that the reason for requesting the SOS cannot be more clearly selected and transmitted.

According to the location-based service app according to the present invention, it is easy for the service operator to manage the application program, and the user feels convenience when installing the application program, thereby reducing consumer complaints and increasing the service subscription rate. From the user's point of view, since one integrated application for the service needs to be installed in the application market, confusion does not occur, and the user can feel convenient by being able to select and use the desired role function by subscribing.

And by using the "Accuracy" button anew, if you keep clicking and toggling, only WayPoints with a more accurate Accuracy value can be filtered out and displayed on the map screen of the application, so you can intuitively check a more accurate movement route easily and quickly. .

In addition, by using various buttons and widgets for playback management of the location record player, the user can view location records more dynamically in time sequentially. In particular, because the playback speed can be adjusted by using the playback speed control bar, it can be very effective when the number of WayPoints to be played is quite large.

In addition, it enables the user to collect coordinate values from the map screen more intuitively by collecting the coordinate values by touching and holding directly at the desired location without a cursor mark fixed in the center to collect the location coordinate values on the map screen.

In addition, since PUSH messages are used without using a location server, the controller app user can request and receive the tracker app user's current location immediately if they want.

In addition, by setting the day range and time range allowing the service user to share the location, his/her privacy can be protected from the other party or user group users who share the location with each other. In addition, if you transmit and expose location information whenever you need it, such as in an emergency, even if you are in a day and time range other than the day range and time range that allows location sharing, in terms of using smart device location-based services, you It has the advantage of allowing you to transmit your location information when you need it while protecting your privacy.

In addition, in an emergency situation when there is no time to run the app, when it is necessary to request an SOS, it can provide a means for the user to quickly select the reason for requesting the SOS more clearly.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical spirit of the present invention, so various equivalents that can be substituted for them at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be variations and variations.

First, if it consists of two or more multiple smart device apps that perform different user roles for each function for the same smart app service, instead of registering multiple apps for each role and function in the market separately, market them as one integrated app Describes how to install and implement an integrated app that allows you to register with . The integrated app includes one for a location-based service, and the method for installing and implementing the integrated app according to the present invention is not limited to the location-based service app.

For the same smart app service, the service operator integrates and builds into one app what needs to be done by dividing it into several apps according to role and function, and registers it in the app market, and the user installs the integrated app on the smart device in the market. Download and install on

When installing the app, a screen appears where the user first selects which role the user will perform. If he selects and clicks the Next button, the account sign-up screen appears and enters sign-up information. The ID of the selected role function is transmitted to and stored in a service management server located at a remote location and also stored in the user's smart device.

After that, when the application is executed for use, the ID of the pre-selected role function is read from the smart device or the service management server located at a remote location, and the application is operated with the selected role function.

1 is a block diagram illustrating an integrated app installation, and includes a service management server 100 , a role A app device 110 , and a role B app device 120 . The integrated app is composed of a plurality of apps having different roles. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the integrated app consists of an app for role A and an app for role B.

The service management server 100 is A server that stores and manages account registration information when users of role A app and users of role B app sign up for smart app service, and stores and manages service settings during use. During service operation, role A app and role B It can also serve as a relay when transferring data between apps.

The role A app device 110 is a smart device that the subscribing user selects as the functional role A when installing the integrated app, and the role B app device 120 selects the functional role B when another subscribed user installs the integrated app It is a smart device that has been subscribed to.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration in which an app user downloads an app through an app market. The app market 200 allows users to access the app market and download a desired app. To this end, the smart app service operator builds various apps necessary for service operation and registers it in the app market 200 . For example, there is Google's Play Store or Apple's App Market.

App user 250 In order to use the service by subscribing to the service provided by the smart app service operator, a necessary app is downloaded from the app market 200 to the smart device, installed, and used.

For the same smart app service, if the service operator integrates the role functions to be performed in a plurality of apps into one app program and then uploads it to the app market as a single package name, the user downloads and installs the uploaded integrated app, A flow in which the integrated app program operates will be described.

For convenience of description, in this embodiment, an app program that integrates two role functions, namely, a role function A and a role function B, will be described. In general, the "role function selection screen" and the "account signup screen" are separated and used as separate screens, but in some cases, the two screens may be combined and operated.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a location-based service integration app installation and implementation method as an example of an integrated app, having a plurality of app role functions according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3 , a smart device accesses the app market in which a location-based service integration app including a controller app function serving as a manager and a tracker app function performing a location report function is registered. Download the location-based service integration app. (Step S310) When the location-based service integration app installed on the smart device is executed, it is determined whether the location-based service integration app operates as the controller app function or the tracker app function The role function selection screen to be selected is displayed (step S320).

When the controller app function or the tracker app function is selected by the user, an account registration screen for creating a user's account is displayed, and when account information is input by the user, the account information is transmitted to the service management server. (Step S330) Account When a user's account is created based on the information, the role function ID corresponding to the controller app function or tracker app function selected on the role function selection screen is transmitted to the service management server and stored, and the role function ID is also provided to the smart device. Save. (Step S340)

If the role function ID stored in the smart device is a controller app function (step S350), the smart device operates as a controller app (step S360), and if the role function ID stored in the smart device is a tracker app function (step S370), the The smart device operates as a tracker app. (Step S380)

On the other hand, if the role function ID is neither a controller app function nor a tracker app function, a login screen is displayed, and when a user logs in, the service management server requests and calls the role function ID selected when registering an account (step S390), Again, it is checked whether the role function ID stored in the smart device is a controller app function or a tracker app function.

4 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the role integration app when signing up for a service account after installing the integrated app. Referring to FIG. 4 , an app integrating role functions for a corresponding service is downloaded from the app market 200 and installed in a smart device. (Step S410)

On the first screen, role function selection screen, select whether the app will operate as role function A or role function B, and click the 'Next' button to go to the account registration screen (step S420)

On the second screen, the account sign-up screen, when you create an account after entering sign-up information such as account name and password, the sign-up information and the role function ID already selected on the role function selection screen are transmitted to the service management server located at a remote location and stored in a remote location. and the role function ID is also stored in the smart device. (Step S430)

If the stored role function ID is 'role function A' (step S440), it goes to the main screen that operates as 'role function A', and from this point on, the integrated app operates as role function A in all functions (step S450). If the stored role function ID is not 'role function A' (step S440), check whether the stored role function ID is 'role function B'. From this point on, the integrated app operates as 'role function B' in all functions. (Step S470)

5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the role integration app when running for use after signing up for a service account. 5, the role integration app is executed. (Step S500) It is checked whether the role function ID stored in the smart device is valid (step S510). That is, it is checked whether the role function is neither the role function A nor the role function B. . If the role function ID is valid, it is checked whether automatic login is set (step S520), and if the user is automatically logged in, it is checked whether the role function ID is role function A (step S530). and operates as role function A in all functions. (Step S540)

On the other hand, in step S510, if the role function ID stored in the smart device is not valid, that is, it means that it is neither the role function A nor the role function B. The case where the role function ID becomes invalid is as follows. First, if the integrated app is executed after deleting the data for the integrated app from the app management menu of the system settings during use, the role function ID stored in the smart device may become invalid. Second, if you run the integrated app for the first time after uninstalling and reinstalling the integrated app during use, the role function ID stored in the smart device may become invalid.

In step S510, if the role function ID stored in the smart device is not valid, the role function selection screen appears and since the user is already subscribed, click the “Are you already registered?” button without registering again. (Step S550)

When the login button is clicked, it switches to the login screen, enters account information, and logs-in. (Step S560) Upon logging in, the service management server located at a remote location requests and retrieves the role function ID selected when signing up for an account. After (step S570), it proceeds to step S530 and checks whether the role function ID is the role function A. And if it is not set to automatic login in step S520, proceed to step S560, switch to the login screen, enter account information, and log in.

In step S530, if the role function ID is not the role function A, it is checked whether the role function B is (step S580). step)

Fig. 6a shows a role function selection screen, Fig. 6b shows an account registration screen, and Fig. 6c shows an example of a login screen. In general, the role function selection screen and the account registration screen are separated and used as separate screens, but in some cases, the two screens may be integrated and used. 7 is a view showing the role function selection and account registration screen as one screen.

6A to 7 , the role function selection screen shown in FIG. 6A selects a role function ID for whether the app will operate as "role function A" or "role function B", and click the 'Next' button Click to go to the account sign-up screen. In the account sign-up screen shown in FIG. 6b, when subscription information such as an account name and password is entered and an account is created, the subscription information and role function ID selected on the role function selection screen are transmitted to the remote service management server , and the role function ID is also stored in the smart device. The login screen shown in FIG. 6c inputs account information and logs in.

Second, when displaying several WayPoints that are location records on the map screen in the app of location-based service on smart devices, the accuracy value is displayed every time the "Accuracy" button is clicked and toggled. A method of displaying location records of a location-based service app will be explained in which only the location records (WayPoints) within the accuracy value are filtered and displayed by changing them step by step.

When you run the app and retrieve the location records (WayPoints) from the storage device of the smart device and display them on the map, regardless of the Accuracy value, all WayPoints are displayed on the map at once or the same as the current default "Accuracy" value. Or, WayPoints with more accurate Accuracy values are displayed on the map once.

A separate button called “Accuracy” is created on the map screen of the app, and each time you click and toggle, it changes to the “Accuracy” value of the next step, which is set in advance. It filters the WayPoints it has and displays it on the map.

Since the "Accuracy" button operates in a cyclic manner, clicking the button several times to toggle the "Accuracy" value of the last step is set to the "Accuracy" value of the last step. Accuracy" value can be changed to be set.

If you keep clicking and toggling the "Accuracy" button like this, you can filter out WayPoints with progressively more accurate Accuracy values and display them on the map screen of the app, so you can see only WayPoints with progressively higher accuracy, intuitively more accurate travel route can be checked quickly and easily

9 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for displaying a location record of a location-based service app according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9 , when a location-based service app is executed and location information is displayed on a map screen displayed on a smart device, a user interface is provided that provides the location information display on the map screen with an accuracy having a plurality of steps. (Step S910) When the location-based service app collects location information or receives location information from the location-based service app of the other party, it is stored in the location record storage device. (Step S920) The location-based service app is executed and the map screen is displayed When displayed on the smart device, location records with higher accuracy than the current set level are read and displayed on the map. (Step S930)

When the accuracy level change button provided in the location-based service app is clicked (step S940), if there is a preset accuracy value of the next step (step S950), it is changed to the accuracy value of the next step (step S960), and the preset next step If there is no accuracy value of , it is changed to the accuracy value of the first step (step S980). Location records with higher accuracy than the currently set accuracy value are read from the location record storage device and displayed on the map (step S970).

10 is a flowchart of the operation of the 'accuracy' button on the map. Referring to FIG. 10 , when a subscribing user collects locations from the app or receives locations from the other user's app, it is stored in the WayPoint storage device (step S1000). Executes the subscribing user app and goes to the map screen. (step S1005) Currently If there are WayPoints with more accurate accuracy values within the default accuracy value (step S1010), WayPoints with more accurate accuracy values within the current default accuracy value are filtered out from the WayPoint storage device and displayed on the map. ( Step S1015) Click and toggle the accuracy button on the map. (Step S1020) If there is an accuracy value of the next step selected in advance than the current step (step S1025), it is changed to the accuracy value of the next step (step S1030), and the current If there is no accuracy value of the next step selected in advance of the step (step S1025), it is changed to the accuracy value of the first step (step S1035).

If there are WayPoints with a more accurate accuracy value within the newly set accuracy value (step S1040), WayPoints with a more accurate accuracy value within the currently newly set accuracy value are filtered out from the WayPoint storage device and displayed on the map (S1045). step)

11 shows an example in which the map screen is changed and displayed by the operation of the accuracy button, (a) is a screen in which location records are displayed with an accuracy value of 1500. It is a screen displayed by filtering out WayPoints whose accuracy value is within 1500, that is, more accurate WayPoints within 1500 among the saved WayPoints. You can see that the number of WayPoints filtered out is 14.

11 (b) is a screen in which the "accuracy" button is clicked and toggled, and the accuracy value is set to 1000. It is a screen displayed by filtering out WayPoints whose accuracy value is within 1000, that is, more accurate WayPoints within 1000 among the saved WayPoints. It can be seen that the number of WayPoints filtered out is 10, and the movement path can be recognized more clearly.

11(c) is a screen in which the "accuracy" button is clicked and toggled once more, and the accuracy value is set to 500. It is a screen displayed by filtering out WayPoints whose accuracy value is within 500, that is, more accurate WayPoints within 500 among the saved WayPoints. It can be seen that the number of WayPoints filtered out is 7, and the movement path can be recognized much more clearly.

12 shows an example in which the accuracy is changed in a cyclic manner by clicking the accuracy button. Referring to FIG. 12 , it indicates that the “accuracy” button operates in a cyclic manner, and the accuracy increases by one level each time it is clicked. However, the higher the accuracy, the smaller the value. For example, if the accuracy value is 1000, it indicates that the error for the position is 1000 m, and if the accuracy value is 500, it indicates that the error about the position is 500 m. Therefore, the accuracy is higher.

Third, a method of replaying location records on the map of a location-based service app to view multiple WayPoints, which are location records, from the oldest to the latest in time on the map screen displayed on the smart device location-based service app will be described.

It is a dynamic player display and operation method for re-viewing various WayPoints, which are location records, from the oldest to the latest in time on the map screen in the application program of the smart device location-based service.

When WayPoints are retrieved from the storage device of the smart device and displayed on the map, all WayPoints are displayed on the map at once. In addition, the location record player screen is displayed as an overlay at the bottom of the map screen, and the player includes not only a playback progress bar, but also buttons to control playback progress and control means to control playback speed, allowing users to more dynamically Position records can be viewed sequentially in time.

If clicked again, the location record player section screen 1310 is removed.

The initial revert button 1315 returns the position record display order to the beginning, and the progress point 1350 of the playback progress bar 1340 goes to the front even on the map screen, and the display of all location records (WayPoints) is removed.

When the start/pause toggle button 1320 is clicked while the location recording playback is in progress, it stops at the location recording (WayPoint) position, and if clicked again in that state, playback starts again from the WayPoint location. In other words, it is a button to toggle location recording start and pause.

When the location record player end button 1325 is clicked, location record reproduction on the map is terminated, and the location record player section screen 1310 is removed.

The reproduction speed control bar 1330 adjusts the speed when the position record is reproduced. The currently set position record playback speed is graphically displayed as a set point on the playback speed control bar (1330). When a certain part of the playback speed control bar 1330 is touched, the set point moves to the touched part of the bar, and the playback speed display Text 1335 is updated accordingly. The location record on the map is played back at the newly set playback speed. This is very effective when the number of WayPoints to be played is quite large.

The playback speed display Text 1335 displays the currently set playback speed, that is, the display time interval (Interval) between WayPoints.

The reproduction progress bar 1340 graphically indicates how far the reproduction is progressing among all WayPoints of the position record to be displayed as the reproduction progress point 1350 on the bar. When a certain part of the playback progress bar 1340 is touched, the progress point 1350 moves to the touched part of the playback progress bar 1340 , and the playback progress bar number display 1345 is updated accordingly. The location record up to the WayPoint location corresponding to that part is updated and displayed on the map.

The progress bar number display 1345 displays the current WayPoint number and the total number of WayPoints that are being played in text. That is, 11/20 in FIG. 13 indicates that the number of WayPoints being reproduced is 11 and the total number of WayPoints is 20.

14 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for reproducing location records on a map of a location-based service app according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 14, when location information is collected from the subscriber's location-based service app or location information is received from the other's location-based service app, it is stored in the location record storage device (step S1410).

When the location-based service app is executed, a map screen is displayed (step S1420), and when the 'View location record player' button displayed on the map screen is clicked, the location record player section screen is displayed as an overlay on the map (Step S1430) When the revert to the beginning button provided by the location record player is clicked (step S1440), the location record playback display order returns to the first location record (WayPoint) and is displayed, and the degree of playback progress is displayed as a bar The position of the progress point of the playback progress bar goes to the front, and after removing all the position records (WayPoints) on the map screen, it is played again from the first position record (WayPoint). (Step S1450) Playback provided by the position record player When the speed control bar is touched (step S1440), the speed point moves to the touched point of the reproduction speed control bar, and the reproduction speed (display time interval between position records) corresponding to the moved point is displayed in numbers, and the Location records (WayPoints) are reproduced on the map at the displayed playback speed. (Step S1460) When the end button of the location record player is clicked, the location record reproduction on the map is terminated and the location record player section screen is removed (step S1470).

On the other hand, when the pause button provided by the location record player is clicked, the location record reproduction is temporarily stopped, and when the start button is clicked, the location record reproduction can be restarted. And if the playback progress bar is touched while the location records (WayPoints) are being reproduced, the position record playback display order is changed to the order corresponding to the touched part, and the progress point moves to the touched part of the playback progress bar, On the map screen, the location records up to the above sequence are displayed and played continuously.

15 is a flowchart showing the operation of an example of the position recording player. 15, when locations are collected from the subscribing user app or when location information is received from the other user app, it is stored in the location record (WayPoint) storage device. (Step S1510) Execute the subscribing user app, go to the map screen, and record the location Click the player view button. (Step S1515) The location record player section screen appears overlaid on the map and the location record playback starts from the beginning (step S1520). At this time, the start toggle button is the pause toggle button. is changed to

When the return button is clicked for the first time (step S1525), the position record display order returns to the first WayPoint, the position of the playback progress bar goes to the front, and all WayPoints are removed from the map screen, and then playback starts again from the beginning. (Step S1530) When the pause toggle button is clicked (step S1535), the location record playback is paused (step S1540). When the start toggle button is clicked (step S1545), the location record playback starts again (step S1550). When the playback speed control bar is touched (step S1575), the set point moves to the touch part of the bar, and the playback speed display text also updates and displays the newly set position record playback speed, that is, the display time interval between WayPoints. . Play WayPoints on the map at the newly set playback speed (step S1580).

When the playback progress bar is touched (step S1565), the progress point moves to the touch part of the bar, and the progress number display text appears by updating the WayPoints up to the currently played WayPoint number accordingly (step S1570). When it is (step S1555), the location record reproduction on the map is terminated and the location record player section screen is removed (step S1560).

Fourth, a method for collecting coordinate values on a map of a location-based service app that collects coordinate values from a map screen in a smart device service app will be described.

When trying to collect the center coordinate value of the zone to set the local zone on the map screen in the smart device service app or collect the coordinate value for the pickup location to request a PickUp, the user first opens the map screen. Move and zoom/drag to find a desired location, and touch and hold directly at that location to collect coordinates for that location. The coordinate values are used as coordinate values on the local zone setting screen or the PickUp request setting screen.

16 is a block diagram illustrating a method of collecting coordinate values on a map, and includes a map screen 1600 and a smart device map service package 1650 . Here, the smart device map service package 1650 may be a map service package provided by a location information provider, such as Google Maps V2 Android.

When a location-based service app is executed and a specific location is selected by the user on the displayed map screen 1600, and the selected location is touched for a long time, the coordinates for the location are displayed in the map service package 1650 of the location information provider. read from The read coordinate value is used as a coordinate value for the central location of the zone, or the read coordinate value is used to detect entry and exit of a smart device in which the location-based service app is installed for a virtual zone. is used as the coordinate value of the pick-up location when a pick-up (pick-up) request is made.

17 is a flowchart illustrating a method of collecting coordinate values on a map. Referring to Fig. 17, the user moves the map screen on the map of the application and finds a desired location while zooming/reducing/draging. (Step S1700) Touch and hold the location at the location. (Step S1710) It is read from the location information provider's map service package (eg, Google Maps V2 Android). (Step S1720) To set the Zone, it is used as the coordinate value for the center location of the Zone or used as the coordinate value of the requested location when requesting a pickup. (Step S1730)

18 shows a conventional method of collecting coordinate values on a map. If the desired location 1810 on the map screen 1800 is aligned with the center cursor of the map screen and the selection button 1820 is clicked, the coordinate values are displayed at the zone center coordinates 1860 of the zone setting screen 1850.

19 shows a method of collecting coordinate values on a map according to the present invention. If you touch and hold at a desired location (1910) naturally without aligning it to the center on the map screen (1900), the coordinate values appear in the zone center coordinates (1960) of the zone setting screen (1950).

Fifth, in the smart device location-based service app, the controller app user requests the current location from the tracker app user and immediately receives and recognizes the current location of the tracker app by requesting the controller app of the location-based service app Let me explain how.

20 is a diagram showing a service configuration to which a method to immediately find out the current location for a tracker app from a controller app in a smart device location-based service is applied, a service management server 2010, a network 1720, and a smart device in which the controller role application is installed. The device 2030 is made including a smart device 2040 in which the tracker role application is installed.

Referring to FIG. 20 , after each user subscribes to the service in the smart device location-based service, an app (Controller user app, 2030) that performs the manager role is sent to an app (Tracker user app, 2040) that serves as a location reporter In the state that the pairing procedure to report location information is completed, if a current location information request PUSH message is transmitted to the counterpart Tracker user app 2040 on the menu of the Controller user app 2030, the counterpart Tracker user app 2040 is It immediately collects the GPS location and reports its location to the Controller user app 2030 as a PUSH message so that the location appears on the Controller user app 2030 map.

Due to this, the controller user app 2030 can immediately request the location of the tracker user app 2040 and receive it immediately. That is, since the PUSH message is used without using the location server, the controller can request and receive the location information of the tracker as soon as it wants.

21 is a flowchart showing an embodiment of a method for acquiring the current location of the tracker app by the request of the controller app in the location-based service app according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 21, the controller role (administrator) or Sign up for an account as a tracker role (location report). (Step S2100) The smart device operating with the controller app function reports the location of the smart device operating with the tracker app function to the smart device operating with the tracker app function In order to be in a state capable of requesting and reporting the location information, by obtaining permission from a smart device operating with the tracker app function, a pairing procedure in which the controller app and the tracker app are connected to each other is completed. (Step S2110)

In order to know the current location of the tracker app, the controller app transmits a current location request PUSH message to the tracker app (step S2120). The tracker app collects the GPS location and sends its location to the controller app as a PUSH message. (Step S2130) The controller app that has received the location information of the tracker app displays the location information of the received tracker app on the map. (Step S2140)

22 is an example of a method for acquiring the current location of the tracker app by the request of the controller app in the location-based service app according to the present invention, and is a flowchart showing a method for immediately finding out the current location information for the tracker app user. Referring to FIG. 22, the smart device location-based service app signs up for an account as a controller role (administrator) and a tracker role (location reporter), respectively. (Step S2200) The controller app user reports the location to the tracker app user Request service and obtain permission to complete the pairing procedure. (Step S2210)

In order to know the current location of the tracker app user, the controller app user sends a PUSH message requesting the current location to the tracker app user from the menu (step S2220). The tracker app immediately collects the GPS location and PUSH the controller app user’s location Report as a message. (Step S2230)

23 is a view showing the configuration of a service to which the method of immediately finding out the current location of the tracker app from the controller app in the conventional smart device location-based service is applied. App for smart device location-based service, after each user subscribes to the service, personal information is stored and managed in the service management server 2300, and the procedure for entering a user group to share their location with each other is completed. In the state, if they collect their GPS location at a set time interval and upload it to the location server, users of the subscribed user group who promised to share the location with each other in advance on the map of their app, could see the location.

The location-based service app #2 (2340) stores the location information in the location server (2320) at set regular time intervals. When the location-based service app #1 (2330) requests the location server 2320 for location information of the other party, the location server 2320 connected to the service management server 2300 and the network 2310 transmits the location information of the other party to the location-based service. Notify app #1 (2330).

In this way, if you want to know the current location of a specific partner immediately, there is no way, and after waiting until the specific partner reaches the preset time interval, the other party application collects the GPS location and uploads it to the location server. You can see it on the application map. That is, the position of the counterpart tracker at the required current time could not be immediately known. The present invention is applicable when the controller is a smart device and the tracker is also a smart device.

Sixth, even if personal information such as time-sensitive location information is shared with the other party, by setting the allowable days and time ranges to limit the time that the other party can check, or by limiting the time transmitted to the other party, smart, A method of restricting the provision of location information in a device location-based service app will be described.

24 is a block diagram illustrating a service configuration to which a method of providing a privacy function by using an allowable day and time range setting in a smart device location-based service is applied, the service management server 2410, the network 2420, and the controller app 2430 , including a tracker app 2440 .

Referring to FIG. 24 , the tracker app 2440 sets the day and time range allowing the sharing of location information and stores it in the service management server 2410 and its own smart device. By setting the day range and time range allowing the tracker app user to share the location in this way, when the controller app 2430 requests location information, the tracker app 2440 is located only in the day and time range that allows the location information sharing On days and times other than the days and times allowed for reporting information, do not disclose and transmit your location information to other parties or users of a user group sharing location information. That is, the service app that transmits time-sensitive personal information sets the day range and time range that allows the transmission of the information, so that time-sensitive personal information such as location information is not exposed outside the time range.

25 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for limiting the provision of location information in a smart device location-based service app according to the present invention. Referring to Figure 25, when the day and time range that allows the location information of the tracker app to be shared in the location-based service app operating as a tracker app acting as a location reporter is set (step S2500), The set allowable days and time ranges are transmitted and stored to the service management server and stored in the smart device (step S2510). The tracker app is privacy information to a controller app that serves as an administrator for the tracker app. Check whether the situation is where you want to voluntarily send location information. (Step S2520)

If the tracker app wants to voluntarily send its location information (step S2520), regardless of the setting of the day and time range that allows the sharing of location information, the location information of the tracker app is transmitted to the controller app or the tracker app (Step S2530) The current location information request is received from the controller app, or the location information has to be reported when the location report time preset by the controller app request is reached, or the virtual area zone (Zone) ), if the location information needs to be reported upon arrival or departure (step S2540), if the current time falls within the set range of days and times allowed to share location information (step S2550), the location information of the tracker app is transferred to the controller It is transmitted to the app. (Step S2560)

26 is an example of a method for limiting the provision of location information in a smart device location-based service app according to the present invention, and is a flowchart illustrating location information transmission when using a day and time range allowed to share location information for privacy protection. Referring to FIG. 26, the smart device location-based service application subscribes to the service as a tracker app user. (Step S2600) The service user himself sets the day range and time range allowing location information sharing, and transmits it to the service management server. It is stored and managed and stored in the smart device. (Step S2610) If the new location information received by GPS needs to be sent (Step S2620), the situation in which the tracker app user must voluntarily send location information, such as an emergency, (Step S2630) If the tracker app user needs to send location information voluntarily, such as in an emergency, the location information can be transmitted to the controller app user or location at any time regardless of the day range and time range settings that allow location sharing. location information is transmitted to users who share it (step S2650). If you need to report location information as you arrive or leave the Zone, check whether the current time is within the range of days and times that allow location sharing, and control location information only when it falls within the range of days and times that allow location sharing. The location information is transmitted to the app user or to users who share the location (step S2650). If the location is not the day and time of the location sharing, go to step S2620 and check whether the new location information received by the GPS needs to be sent.

Seventh, in the smart device location-based service, the power key or external key is used in the location-based service app so that the content of the SOS request message is transmitted differently depending on the number of times the application user quickly presses the power key or external key of the smart device in quick succession. A method of transmitting the SOS request message using the method will be described.

Regardless of the ON/OFF of the smart device screen or whether the app is being displayed on the screen, if the user repeatedly presses and releases the power key or external key in quick succession, an SOS request message is automatically transmitted. In addition, according to the number of times the power key or the external key is pressed and released in rapid succession, it is possible to automatically select and transmit the SOS request message of various predefined contents.

By doing so, users requesting SOS can ask for help with a clearer choice of why they are requesting. As examples of the cause of the SOS request, it is necessary to clearly distinguish the content of the SOS request message, such as "Call me immediately", "Do not make a call and ask the police for help".

27 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a method for transmitting an SOS request message using a power key or a foreign key of a location-based service app according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 27, when an SOS request is made, recipients to receive SOS are set, and an SOS request message is set. (Step S2700) When the power key or external key of the smart device is pressed and released, the power key count is increased and a predetermined Starts a timer that operates for a period of time (step S2710). If the power key or external key is pressed and released while the timer is running, the power key count is incremented and the timer is restarted (step S2720). When the timer expires, the power key count value is checked (step S2730). A different SOS request message is transmitted according to the power key count value (step S2740).

28 is a flowchart illustrating a method of transmitting an SOS request message with different contents according to the number of consecutive presses of a power key or a foreign key. Referring to FIG. 28 , the power key count is initialized to 0 (step S2800). When the power key or the external key is pressed and released (step S2810), the power key count is incremented by 1, a 1.5 second timer starts, and 1.5 seconds If the timer is in progress, it starts again. (Step S2820) If the 1.5-second timer is running in step S2820 (step S2830), check whether the power key or external key is pressed and released again (step S2840), and then the power key or external key If is pressed and released, go to step S2820, increment the power key count by 1, start a 1.5-second timer, and go to step S2840 to continuously check whether the power key or external key is pressed and released.

During the check, if the 1.5-second timer expires in step S2830, it checks whether the power key count is 3 or 4, and if it is 3 or 4, an SOS request message (eg, “Call me immediately”) is transmitted. (Step S2860) In step S2850, it is checked whether the power key count is 5 or more (step S2870), and if it is 5 or more, an SOS request message (eg, “Do not call the police, please contact the police”) is transmitted. (Step S2880) The power key counter value and timer value used here are used for convenience of explanation and are not fixed values.

The app according to the present invention may be implemented as a program for the processor to execute. In addition, it may be implemented as computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium (including all devices having an information processing function). The computer-readable recording medium includes all types of recording devices in which data readable by a computer system is stored.
