The setting information collecting step collects, from the service user terminal, setting information including a service time, a service location, a service usage area, a location notification message transmission interval, a service user moving speed range, and a location notification message receiving target. It is input through the terminal screen as in the embodiment of FIG. The service time is the location notification service start time and end time. Although not shown in the drawing, the location notification message reception interval may be set to determine a time interval for the location notification message reception target to receive the location of the service user, and set a moving speed range of the service user.

The destination for receiving the location notification message may be selected from an address book stored in the terminal or a number may be designated by directly inputting a number. In addition, as shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 5, the service using area may be directly selected on a map provided by the service provider 100 or may be selected by inputting a street name, and the service selection location is a specific location or range, or several You can choose a place. In order to prevent confusion caused by the error of the location-based service in the selection of the service using area, the service error range 512 is designated for the location selected by the service user according to the location-based service used by the service provider 100. When the service user selects a specific location to receive the service, the error range 512 is represented by the error range 511 and the position service's error that can be assured that the service user is at the specific location as shown in FIG. The error range 512 can be displayed.

When the current location of the service user is checked (120), it is determined whether the service user enters the service using area, and it is determined whether the entry is made by comparing the current location with the set service using area (130). If it is determined that the service user has entered the service use area, the initial location notification message notifying the service user of the service use area entry is transmitted to the location notification message receiving target (140).

After the initial location notification message is transmitted, the current location of the service user is checked again (150), and the distance between the current location of the service user and the location of the service user identified immediately before, and the time difference between the current location measurement time and the previous location measurement time.

4 is a conceptual graph of a time interval in inverse proportion to a moving speed in a comparison operation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, as the moving speed of the service user increases, the time interval for transmitting the location notification message may be gradually reduced in inverse proportion to the moving speed.

The service user uses the service, for example, if the service user Kim Chul-soo enters the following setting information,

Service Hours Information: June 1, 2008 18:00 to June 1, 2008 20:00

Service area: Area- Heukseok-dong, Arrival Point-Central University

Receive location notification message interval: 5 minutes

Service user travel speed: 20km / h to 80km / h

Location Notification Message Recipient: Hong Gil-dong (xxx-xxx-xxxx)

The above setting information is transmitted to the service provider, and the location notification service starts from 18:00 on June 1, 2008. First, when a service user enters Heukseok-dong, the service provider sends a message of entering Heukseok-dong to Hong Gil-dong. As Kim continues to move, the service provider calculates Kim's speed in real time, and if Kim moves to 5km / h, it does not fall within the range of 20km / h from 80km / h, which is a set service user's movement speed, so that the interval is 5 minutes. It provides the position of Kim Chul-soo to Hong Gil-dong. However, if Kim's moving speed falls within the range of 20km / h from 80km / h, which is the set service user's moving speed, Kim's location is provided to Hong Gil-dong at a time interval inversely proportional to the moving speed. In other words, if the preset value is 4 minutes at 20 km / h, 1 minute at 80 km / h, 3 minutes at 40 km / h and 2 minutes at 60 km / h, the location of Kim Chul-soo is provided to Hong Gil-dong.

The service will end when Kim arrives at Chung-Ang University, or at 20:00 on June 1, 2008.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the current movement speed of the service user is calculated in a state in which the service provider 100 stores a table in inverse relationship between the movement speed and the location notification time interval corresponding to the above graph. The service user may be repeatedly informed of the location of the service user until the set end time for each location notification time interval corresponding to the current moving speed.

Travel speed (km / h) Transmission interval  0 to less than 20 5 minutes 20 to less than 40 4 minutes 40 to less than 60 3 minutes Less than 60 to 80 2 minutes Less than 80-100 1 minute Less than 100 ~ 120 45 sec More than 120 30 seconds

For example, if the moving speed of the service user is changed from 5 (km / h) to 100 (km / h), the second location notification message is transmitted 5 minutes after the first location notification message is initially transmitted, and the third The location notification message can be sent after 45 seconds.
