Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention provides various information from a center side to a caller from a PHP terminal in a personal handy phone (PHP) system.
The present invention relates to an information providing service, and more particularly, to an information providing service method for enabling the center side to provide the caller with optimum route guidance information determined by a plurality of conditions such as the position and destination of the caller.

[0002] In a PHP system, a cordless phone of a digital type has a cordless phone via a wireless line, in addition to its base unit, a base station provided outdoors or a base station provided indoors such as an office. Connection to the public or private branch exchange (PB) to which the parent station or base station is connected.
X), which enables communication with X.) and is about to be put to practical use in the future.

In such a PHP system, the PH
An information providing service has been considered in which various information is provided to a caller from a P terminal from a center device commonly provided in a plurality of base stations. As one of the inventions, the present invention utilizes the fact that the service area of the base station is relatively narrow, and thus the location information of the caller indicated by the service area of each base station and the plurality of destinations desired by the caller The purpose of the present invention is to propose an information providing service method for providing the sender with the route guidance information determined by the conditions. The location information of the sender is
It is also possible to transmit by other methods.

In this case, if the optimum route guidance information can be provided according to the position of the caller and the desired destination, the serviceability can be further improved. For example, it would be convenient if services such as optimal store guides and tourist spot guides could be provided according to the location of the caller. Furthermore, a service is also possible in which the center device transmits a warning or additional guidance information when the caller deviates from the legitimate route by periodically transmitting the position information to the center side.

Public services via PHP systems are scheduled to be provided in the near future. In that case, the base stations will be provided with an appropriate density corresponding to a relatively narrow service area, but depending on the installation density of the base stations, it is conceivable that some areas will not be able to receive the service. From this point of view, the service according to the present invention is
For example, it is more effective to use in a specific area such as an underground mall, a department store, an amusement park, or a large office.
