Step 1: The server 100 may receive the requested data 400 from the information requesting terminal 200 in order to share the multimedia content of the location desired by the information requestor 20 (S110). The information requester 20 transmits the request data to the server 100 through the information request terminal 200 in order to know the situation of the remote location desired by the information requester 20 . FIG. 3 shows that the information request terminal 200 transmits the request data 400 to the server 100 through the network 10 .

More specifically, the information requestor 20 may want to know the real-time situation or the situation in the past time of a specific place for various reasons. For example, if a specific restaurant is popular and can only be entered by waiting for a long time, the person who wants to go to the restaurant, that is, the information requester 20, may want to know how long the waiting line at the corresponding restaurant is. At this time, the information requester 20 may move to the restaurant by itself and grasp the situation, but may wish that someone near the restaurant informs the current situation. In this situation, the information requester 20 can request information by inputting the location information and time information of the corresponding restaurant into the information request terminal 200 . The information request terminal 200 may process this input information into request data and transmit it to the server 100 through the network 10 .

When the request data transmitted to the server 100 is described with reference to FIG. 4 , the request data may include an information request terminal 200 ID, an event ID, location information, time information, subject information, and special items.

The information request terminal 200 ID means an identification means by which the server 100 can identify a plurality of information request terminals 200 . The information request terminal 200 ID may be assigned when any terminal registers with the server 100 as the information request terminal 200 .

The event ID means an identification means for the server 100 to distinguish a plurality of request data. The event ID may be assigned by the server 100 or the information requesting terminal 200 before the information requesting terminal 200 sends the request data.

The location information is information that the information requestor 20 inputs to the information request terminal 200 . The location information may include coordinates of a location desired by the information requester 20 . At this time, the information requester 20 does not input exact coordinates as shown in FIG. 4 . The information requester 20 may input the name of the location requested, for example, 'Yeondon Pork Cutlet', and may also input the address of the corresponding location through an Internet search or the like. Also, the information requester 20 may directly select a location on the map output on the screen of the information request terminal 200 .

The time information means the creation time of the content desired by the information requester 20 . The time information may include time information of the time when the information request terminal 200 transmits the request data 400 . That is, when the information requester 20 wants to know the real-time situation of the desired location, the time information of the request data 400 includes time information of the time when the information request terminal 200 transmits the request data 400 will do

The time information may include a time belonging to a predetermined time range before the time when the information request terminal 200 transmits the request data 400 . That is, when the information requester 20 wants to know the past situation of the desired location, the time information of the requested data 400 is a certain time range before the time when the information requesting terminal 200 transmits the requested data 400 . It includes the time belonging to

The subject information means a means for specifying a location designated by the information requester 20 . The subject information may be arbitrarily input by the information requester 20 . When the information requestor 20 does not input subject information, the information terminal may input the address of the corresponding location as subject information.

The specific item means a message for requesting the information provider 30 so that the information requester 20 can obtain specific contents about the situation of the corresponding location. The information provider 30 may generate content from a remote location in a direction desired by the information requester 20 based on specific matters.

Step 2: The server 100 may generate a location range according to a predetermined criterion based on location information of the request data 400 received from the information providing terminal 310 (S120). The server 100 may generate a predetermined radius determined by the information requestor 20 as the location range based on a predetermined range determined by the information requestor 20 , that is, a location indicated by the location information of the request data 400 . Also, the server 100 may generate a certain range determined by the server 100 as the location range.

5 illustrates that the server 100 generates a location range according to a predetermined criterion based on location information of the request data 400 . The server 100 may generate a predetermined radius as the location range based on the coordinates indicated by the location information of the request data. A constant radius includes several kilometers to several tens of kilometers.

Step 3: The server 100 may generate a list of the request receiving terminals 300 based on the location range of the second step described above (S130). As shown in FIG. 5 , the server 100 may separately designate the request receiving terminal 300 belonging to a predetermined radius based on the location range of the request data among the request receiving terminals 300 . In this case, the server 100 may generate the designated request receiving terminal 300 as a list.

Step 5: The server 100 may receive acceptance data from the request receiving terminal 300 (S150). The user of the request receiving terminal 300 that has received the request data 400 may determine whether to provide the remote content to the information requester 20 based on the request data 400 . The information requester 20 who has decided to provide the remote content may transmit acceptance data to the server 100 through the request receiving terminal 300 .

Step 6: The server 100 may designate at least one terminal among the request receiving terminals 300 as the information providing terminal 310 and transmit whether the designation is made to the request receiving terminal 300 ( S160 ). For example, the server 100 may designate the request receiving terminal 300 that first transmitted the acceptance data among the request receiving terminals 300 as the information providing terminal 310 . The server 100 may transmit data confirming that the designation has been made to the information providing terminal 310 . The server 100 may transmit data confirming that the request receiving terminal 300 is not designated as the information providing terminal 310 among the request receiving terminals 300 .

The user of the information providing terminal 310, that is, the information provider 30, moves to a location desired by the information requester 20 and generates multimedia data 410 based on the information entered by the information requester 20 in the specific items. have. To explain based on the above example, when the information requester 20 wants to know how long the waiting line at a restaurant called 'Yeondon Pork Cutlet' and transmits the request data, the information provider 30 moves to the location of the restaurant and waits line situation The multimedia data 410 may be generated by taking a picture or an image.

When the information requester 20 requests a real-time situation, the information providing terminal 310 may limit the information provider 30 to generate the multimedia data 410 only in real time. For example, the information provider 30 cannot convert a photo or video previously stored in the information providing terminal 310 into the multimedia data 410 and generate it.

When the information requestor 20 requests a past situation, the information providing terminal 310 may allow the information providing 30 to access a photo or video previously stored in the information providing terminal 310 .

Step 7: The server 100 may receive the multimedia data 410 from the information providing terminal 310 (S170). 7 illustrates that the information providing terminal 310 transmits the multimedia data 410 to the server 100 through the network 10 . The multimedia data 410 may include, but is not limited to, photos, videos, texts, and the like.

The multimedia data 410 transmitted by the information providing terminal 310 may include location information and time information of the corresponding multimedia. The multimedia location information may include location coordinates at which the multimedia is generated. The multimedia time information may include a time when the corresponding multimedia is generated. 8 shows a picture, a photographing location, and a photographing time that may be included in the multimedia data 410 . The photographing time and photographing location may be automatically included in the multimedia data 410 by the information providing terminal 310 even if the information provider 30 does not separately input it.

The server 100 may compare the time information of the multimedia data 410 received from the information providing terminal 310 with the time information of the requested data 400 . When the information requestor 20 requests a real-time situation, the server 100 may check whether the multimedia data 410 is generated at a time within a range from the time desired by the information requester 20 .

When the information requester 20 requests a past situation, the server 100 may receive a photo or video previously stored in the storage space 110 of the information providing terminal 310 as the multimedia data 410 .

The server 100 may compare the location information or time information of the multimedia data 410 received from the information providing terminal 310 with the location information or time information of the request data 400 after performing the seventh step described above. have. If the comparison result does not pass the predetermined criteria, the server 100 may transmit the re-request or rejection data to the information providing terminal 310 . Conversely, when the comparison result passes a predetermined criterion, the server 100 may perform an eighth step to be described later.

The time information of the request data 400 may include time information of the time when the information request terminal 200 transmits the request data 400 in the first step. In addition, the time information of the request data 400 may mean a predetermined time range before the time when the information request terminal 200 transmits the request data 400 in the first step. In this case, the step of comparing the location information or the time information may include determining whether the time information of the multimedia data 410 is included in the above-described predetermined time range.

The server 100 may receive the multimedia data 410 stored in the storage space 110 of the information providing terminal 310 . Through this, the server 100 may provide the multimedia data 410 stored in the storage space 110 to the information requester 20 requesting the past situation.

Step 8: The server 100 may transmit the multimedia data 410 received from the information providing terminal 310 to the information requesting terminal 200 (S180). 9 shows that the information providing terminal 310 transmits the multimedia data 410 to the server 100 through the network 10 . The information request terminal 200 that has received the multimedia data 410 may output the multimedia data 410 through a screen or a speaker. After checking the received multimedia data 410 , the information requester 20 may determine whether it is the desired data. If the received multimedia data 410 is not data desired by the information requester 20 , the information requestor 20 may transmit the re-requested data 400 to the server 100 through the information request terminal 200 . . If the received multimedia data 410 is data desired by the information requester 20 , the information requestor 20 may transmit acceptance data to the server 100 through the information request terminal 200 .

The server 100 may determine whether re-request is impossible after performing the above-described eighth step. In this case, the server 100 may determine that the re-request is impossible when the predetermined re-request time has elapsed. In addition, the server 100 may determine that the re-request is impossible when the information providing terminal 310 is out of a certain range based on the location indicated by the location information of the request data 400 . That is, when the information providing terminal 310 largely deviates from the above-described predetermined range by moving its location, the server 100 determines that the information provider 30 has no will to generate the multimedia data 410 any more. This may be considered as non-request. When the server 100 determines that re-request is impossible, it may transmit data that cannot be re-requested to the information request terminal 200 . The information requesting terminal 200 that has received the re-request impossible data cannot transmit the re-requested data 400 .
