A key technical aspect of the present invention is to provide a client or mobile client with information about a roadway between a starting point and a destination selected by a user based on a selection priority (for example, a distance priority, a time priority, a speed priority, a landscape priority, etc.). It provides services to clients or mobile clients in real time, or by linking various types of transportation (e.g. city buses, express buses, town buses, railways, subways, etc.) For example, clients can obtain transportation (ie railway, subway, express bus, intercity bus, village bus, etc.), time and fare for each section, total travel time and total fare, transit station information, etc. Or to serve mobile clients in real time, through the technical means It can easily achieve the work of.

1 is a block diagram of a road information service system for providing road information service to any client or mobile client using the Internet according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the road information service system includes a client group 102 including a plurality of clients 102/1-102 / n, and a mobile client including a plurality of mobile clients 104/1-104 / n. Group 104, base station 106, mobile switching center 108, Internet 110, web server 112, route search server 114, customer information DB 115, traffic information DB 116, maps Server 118, map DB 120, location processing server 122, and location server 124.

First, each client in the client group 102 is, for example, a PC system that can be connected to the Internet 110 using a dedicated line, an ADSL, a modem, or the like. Each client connects the Internet 110 and the web server 112 to each other. By accessing the route search server 114 through the road information service provided in accordance with the present invention, that is, a road information service for cars based on priority or public transportation related information service may be provided, and the route search server 114 may also be provided. In the customer information DB 115 provided on the side, the road information (ie, the road information registered when the road information was previously registered) may be serviced.

Next, each mobile client in mobile client group 104 is a wireless mobile terminal (e.g., capable of connecting to the Internet 110 via mobile communication control means, i.e., base station 106, mobile communication switching center 108, or the like). Cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PCS), PDAs, IMT-2000, etc.), each of these mobile clients, like each of the above-described clients, is a route retrieval server (via the Internet 110 and Web server 112). 114, a road information service using the Internet (that is, a road information service for a private vehicle, an information service related to public transportation) may be provided.

On the other hand, the base station 106 provides a communication service between the mobile client and the mobile communication switching station 108 in its service area (i.e., cell), and the mobile communication switching center 108 is each a base station responsible for a plurality of base stations. It includes a controller, a WAP gateway for Internet access, a home location register (HLR) and a visitor location register (VLR) for tracking each mobile client's location. It provides various communication services between mobile clients and remote mobile clients (or clients), manages the current registration status of mobile clients in the service area of each base station in charge of it, and also manages the Internet (WAP gateway) 110, road information provided in accordance with the present invention (owned road information, public Traffic road information) service to each mobile client.

In addition, mobile communication switching center 108 may have a location lookup request from a location server 124 for a particular mobile client (i.e., any mobile client that has selected its current location as origin or destination when receiving road information services). At this time, the home location register (HLR) and the visitor location register (VLR) are searched to find out which base station the mobile client is requested to search for a location. The location value is provided to the location server 124.

Next, the web server 112 provides a web service for providing road information service to each client or each mobile client, and any client or mobile client accesses the Internet 110 to request the road information service. When the service requesting client or mobile client and the route search server 114 are connected, various menu screens (for example, an initial menu screen, a route setting information selection menu screen, a public transportation guide list menu screen, and a registration information list menu screen) , The detailed information menu screen, etc.) provides the corresponding private road information or public transportation related information service to the client or the mobile client.

In addition, the route retrieval server 114 performs the actual processing of the road information service required by each user (ie, client or mobile client), and any client or mobile client is associated with private road information or public transportation. Road information data between origin and destination provided from map server 118 and public transport related information drawn from traffic information DB 116 when requesting information (e.g., transportation (i.e., railway, subway, express bus, intercity) Bus, village bus, etc.), the time required for each section and the fare for each section, total travel time and total fare, transfer station information, etc.) to compose a map road information menu screen or a public transportation guide list menu screen. The configured map road information menu screen is serviced to any client through the web server 112 and the Internet 110, or the web server Service 112 to any mobile client via server 112, Internet 110, mobile switching center 108 and base station 106.

Moreover, the route retrieval server 114 sends these road information (or public transportation related information) data when any client or mobile client requests registration for the road information (or public transportation related information) it has serviced. It registers with the customer information DB 115 along with the identifier of the mobile client (for example, user ID) and registration date and time, and the information from the customer information DB () when there is a request for registration information from the client or the mobile client. The web server 112 and the Internet 110 are serviced to the corresponding client or the mobile client by withdrawing the.

At this time, the public transportation guide list menu provided to any mobile client includes a traffic use route and type of transportation (for example, railway, subway, express bus, intercity bus, village bus, etc.), time required for each section of transportation, and It includes information on the fare for each section, total travel time and total fare, transit station, etc., and may also include map road information in the form of connecting the starting point and the destination.

To this end, the traffic information DB 116 stores various road information, route information for each transportation, time and fee information for each section of transportation, and transit station information for each transportation. For example, speed limit, graded surrounding scenery, etc.) are stored, and the various information stored therein is provided to the route search server 114 for location and / or road information service for the mobile client.

On the other hand, in the road information service, the map server 118, together with the location data request signal from the route search server 114, contains information such as a local name, an address, a business name, a road name, or an intersection name for a starting point and a destination. If input, the electronic map data is constructed and searched for the stored map DB 120, and then the road information data connecting the requested starting point and the destination is extracted and transmitted to the route search server 114.

In addition, the map server 118 distinguishes the mobile client with the location data request signal from the route search server 114 when any mobile client selects its current location as a starting point or a destination in the road information service. When the information, for example, the phone number of the mobile client is input, the location information is transmitted to the location server 124 through the location processing server 122 together with the location search request signal, and in response thereto, the location processing is performed. When the location value (ie, longitude coordinate value) of the base station to which the mobile client is located is provided from the location server 124 through the server 122, the location value (ie, origin or destination) of the base station is provided from the map DB 120. Location information) and the road information data connecting the destination or departure point is extracted and transferred to the route search server 114.

That is, the location server 124 requests the mobile communication switching station 108 to search for the location of the mobile client when there is a location search request for any mobile client from the map server 118, and in response thereto. When the location value of the base station to which the mobile client currently enters is provided from 108, the mobile station converts the location value into a longitude coordinate value and transmits the location information to the location processing server 122 as the location information of the mobile client. The latitude and longitude coordinate values received from the location server 124 are converted into a data format recognized by the map server 118 and transmitted to the map server 118. Here, the mobile communication switching center 108, the location server 124, the location processing server 122, and the map server 118 are connected via, for example, a dedicated line.

Next, a process of servicing private road information or public transportation related information based on priority to any client or mobile client using the Internet according to the present invention using the road information service system having the above-described configuration. Explain.

First, a description will be given of a process of providing a certain client with private road information or public transportation related information based on priority using the Internet.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a road information service to any client according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 2, any client (e.g., 102/1 of Fig. 1) registered as a service member accesses a web site providing a road information service through a login using, for example, a user ID, a password, or the like. That is, when accessing the web server 112 via the Internet 110 (step 202), the web server 112 retrieves the prepared initial menu screen data and delivers it to the corresponding client 102/1 through the Internet 110. (Step 204), and as a result, an initial menu screen is displayed on the monitor of the client 102/1 side with, for example, an item for selecting a route service of road information.

Then, when the user of the client 102/1 selects the route service on the initial menu screen (step 206), the corresponding "route service" item selection signal is transmitted to the web server 112 via the Internet 110, In response, the web server 112 retrieves the prepared route setting information selection menu screen data and transmits it to the corresponding client 102/1 through the Internet 110 (step 208), and as a result, the corresponding client 102/1. On the monitor on the side, a route setting information menu screen including, for example, a departure item, a destination item, a private car item, a public transport item, a priority item, and the like is displayed.

Here, the public transportation item and priority item provide a plurality of preset transportation subitems in the form of jam information. When a public transportation item is clicked, subitems such as a railway, subway, express bus, intercity bus, and composite line can be canceled. Information is provided in the form of a pop-up menu, and when a priority item is clicked, priority sub-items such as distance priority, time priority, speed priority, landscape priority, and the like are provided in the form of pop-up menu as job information.

Accordingly, the client 102/1 user can select a transportation or priority by clicking on a public transportation item to select one of a plurality of traffic subitems and clicking on a priority item to select one of a plurality of priority subitems. have. Here, the priority item is applied only when the client 102/1 user selects a car item (that is, requests a service of car road information).

In this case, the user of the client 102/1 may not select the public transportation item and the priority item. In consideration of such a case, when the user of the client 102/1 does not select the public transportation item and the priority item, one traffic subitem (for example, Distance priority item) and one priority item (e.g., compound route item) need to be selected automatically.

That is, the user of the client 102/1 may select and input a starting point and a destination by using the route setting information selection menu screen, and may select a car item or a public transport item, and the type of service (self or Public transport subitems or priority subitems may be selected (or automatically selected). Here, the starting point or the destination may be selected by directly inputting a region name, address, business name, road name, intersection name, etc. of a desired target area.

Next, in step 210, the user of the client 102/1 enters a starting point and a destination on the route setting information selection menu screen, selects (or automatically selects) the priority sub-item, and then selects the “used” item. In this case, if the "used" item is selected, the route setting information, that is, the starting point information, the destination information, the car selection information, and the priority selection information, together with the car road information request signal, is displayed on the Internet 110 and the web server ( 112 is sent to route search server 114 (step 214).

Subsequently, the route search server 114 transmits the departure point information and the destination information to the map server 118 and requests map information (ie, map information of the selected route) including various road information connecting the departure point and the destination. (Step 216), and in response, the map server 118 retrieves the map information data including the various road information connecting the starting point and the destination by searching the map DB 120 and then transferring the extracted map information data to the route search server 114. (Step 218).

Next, the route search server 114 maps the map information data received from the map server 118 and the characteristic information for each road of the corresponding region drawn out from the traffic information DB 116 (eg, speed limit, graded in stages). The optimal private road information corresponding to the priority sub-item (for example, time priority, speed priority, scenery priority, etc.) selected by the user of the client 102/1 with reference to The map road information screen is configured using the optimal private road information, and the configured map road information screen data is transmitted to the corresponding client 102/1 through the web server 112 and the Internet 110 (step 220). ).

At this time, the map road information screen includes the optimal private road information and information registration items, where the "information registration" item is the private road information serviced by the client 102/1 as his registered information. This item is for use when storing (that is, storing in the customer information DB 115), and the private road information registered in the customer information DB 115 has the actual map information data in consideration of the memory space occupancy degree in the DB. Instead, it is desirable to store map position values (ie, coordinate values) of the map information data.

Thus, on the monitor of the client 102/1 side, a map road information screen including the optimal private road information selected as an option (ie, priority) among the private road information between the origin and destination requested by the user is displayed; In step 222), the user of the client 102/1 can easily check (obtain) the road information for which the user requested the service.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, the client user separately designates his / her own road information between specific regions (ie, origin and destination) requested and serviced by the client user, and registers them on the route retrieval server side. Through the registration information service can be provided.

This is done by selecting the "Register information" item on the map road information screen (step 234), and the check result here corresponds to the occurrence of the user when the user selects the "Register information" item. The "information registration" item selection signal is transmitted to the route search server 114 via the Internet 110 and the web server 112.

Accordingly, the route search server 114, together with the identifier (for example, the user ID) of the client 102/1, stores the corresponding road information data (that is, the private road information data between specific regions where the user has been serviced). Store in DB 115 (step 236). As such, the road information data stored in the customer information DB 115 is provided to the corresponding client through the web server 112 and the Internet 110 whenever the client requests.

Therefore, using the road information registration service, it will be possible to simply and easily receive the road information between the region (origin and destination) that the client frequently visits.

On the other hand, in step 212, the user of the client 102/1 enters a starting point and a destination on the route setting information selection menu screen, selects (or automatically selects) the public transportation sub-item, and then selects the "public transportation" item. Check whether or not the selection has been made. When the "transit" item is selected, the route setting information, that is, the source information, the destination information, the public transportation selection information, and the public transportation subitem selection information together with the public transportation information request signal It is sent to the route search server 114 via the internet 110 and web server 112 (step 224).

Subsequently, the route search server 114 transmits the departure point information and the destination information to the map server 118 and requests map information (ie, map information of the selected route) including various road information connecting the departure point and the destination. (Step 226), and in response, the map server 118 retrieves the map information data including the various road information connecting the starting point and the destination by searching the map DB 120 and forwarding it to the route search server 114. (Step 228).

Next, the route retrieval server 114 uses the map information data received from the map server 118 and the traffic information data (for example, various public traffic road information and respective transportations) between the corresponding regions drawn out from the traffic information DB 116. Public transportation sub-items selected by the client 102/1 with reference to route information by each route, time and fee information for each section of the transportation, and information on transfer stations for each transportation (for example, railway, subway, and highway buses). Detects optimal public transport road information corresponding to an intercity bus, a combined route, etc., constructs a public transport guide list menu screen using the detected optimal public transport road information, and configures a web server 112 and the Internet ( The public transportation guide list menu screen data configured as described above is transmitted to the client 102/1 (step 230).

At this time, the public transportation guide list menu screen is a text form of traffic information data (for example, transportation (ie, railway, subway, express bus, intercity bus, village bus, etc.), time required for each section and fee for each section , Total travel time and total fare, transit station information, etc.), and may also be configured to include both textual traffic information data and public transport-related map information.

In addition, the map road information screen includes public transportation information data (or public transportation related information + public transportation related map information) and an information registration item, where the "information registration" item is used by the client 102/1. This item is for use when storing the received public transportation information as its own registration information (that is, stored in the customer information DB 115).

Therefore, on the monitor of the client 102/1 side, a public transportation guide list menu screen including the optimal public transportation information selected as an option (ie, selected by transportation) among the public transportation related information between the origin and destination requested by the user is displayed. Displayed (step 232), the client 102/1 can easily identify (identify) public transit related information between the specific region (origin and destination) for which he or she requested the service.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, the client user separately designates and registers the information related to public transportation between specific regions (i.e., origin and destination) that he / she requests and services, and registers it on the route search server side, and then simply operates whenever necessary. Through registration information service can be provided.

This is done by selecting the "Register information" item on the map road information screen (step 234), and the check result here corresponds to the occurrence of the user when the user selects the "Register information" item. The "information registration" item selection signal is transmitted to the route search server 114 via the Internet 110 and the web server 112.

Accordingly, the route search server 114, together with the identifier (for example, the user ID) of the client 102/1, transmits the public transport related information data of the corresponding road (that is, the public transport related information between specific regions where the user is served). Data) is stored in the customer information DB 115 (step 236). In this case, when the map information related to public transportation is also registered in the customer information DB 115, the map position value (that is, the coordinate value) of the map information data is determined, not the actual map information data, in consideration of the memory space occupancy degree in the DB. It is desirable to store.

Therefore, by using such a road information registration service, it will be possible to simply and easily receive services related to public transportation between regions (origin and destination) where clients frequently visit.

Next, a description will be given of a process of providing private mobile road information or public transportation related information based on priority to an arbitrary mobile client.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a road information service to any mobile client according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a sequence of processes in which an arbitrary mobile client (for example, 104/1 of FIG. 1) accesses a website for a road information service and receives a path setting information selection menu screen from a web server 112. That is, the process from step 302 to step 308 is substantially the same as the processes in steps 202 to 208 shown in FIG. However, if there is a difference, the mobile client 104/1 connects to the web server 112 through the base station 106, the mobile communication switching station 108, and the Internet 110, and provides a path provided by the web server 112. On the setting information selection menu screen, a current position item that can specify the current position of the mobile client 104/1 as a starting point or a destination, and a designated position item that can specify an arbitrary position are included. Therefore, detailed description of steps 302 to 308 is omitted in order to avoid unnecessary duplication of description for the sake of brevity.

In this case, the current location item is used to select a location value (that is, a latitude and longitude coordinate value) of a base station in which the corresponding mobile client 104/1 is currently entering a service area, as a source or destination, and a designated location. As in FIG. 2, the item is used for directly selecting and inputting a starting point or a destination using a region name, address, business name, road name, intersection name, and the like.

Accordingly, the mobile client 104/1 may input a starting point and a destination for receiving road information by using a current location item or a designated location item (that is, a starting item and a destination item) on the route setting information selection menu screen. (Steps 310 and 312), and as the transportation to be used, as in FIG. 2 described above, private or public transportation can be selected (steps 314 and 316).

That is, according to the present embodiment, one of the starting point or the destination may be selected as the current location, the other one may be selected as the designated location, and then private or public transportation may be selected, and both the starting point and the destination may be selected as the designated location, You can choose transportation.

At this time, the public transportation item and the priority item on the route setting information selection menu screen provide a plurality of preset traffic sub-items and priority sub-items in the form of pop-up menus as the cancellation information as in FIG. 2.

Thus, as a result of the check in step 314, if the mobile client 104/1 user selects either the origin or the destination as the current location, or selects both the "own" items with both as the designated location, Route setting information, i.e., source information, destination information, private selection information, and priority selection information, is transmitted to the route retrieval server 114 via the Internet 110 and the web server 112 together with the private road information request signal (step 318). ). In this case, when one of the starting point and the destination is selected as the current location, the division information (for example, a telephone number) of the mobile client 104/1 is transmitted to the route search server 114 together with the route setting information.

Subsequently, the route search server 114 detects location information (ie, origin and destination) in the received route setting information and checks whether the location of either the origin or the destination is designated as the current location (320). In this case, when the location of the origin or destination is specified as the current location, the route search server 114 maps the origin or destination information and the distinguished information (eg, a phone number) of the corresponding mobile client to the map server 118. Requesting map information data including various road information connecting the starting point and the destination.

In response, the map server 118 forwards the segmentation information of the mobile client 104/1 to the location server 124 via the location processing server 122 and requests its location search (step 322). In step 124, the mobile communication switching center 108 receives the current position of the corresponding mobile client 104/1, that is, the position value of the base station in the service area, and then the latitude and longitude coordinate value (ie, search position information). The location processing server 122 converts the latitude and longitude coordinate values into a data format recognizable by the map server 118 and transfers the data to the map server 118 (step 324).

On the other hand, if it is determined in the step 320 that both the starting point and the destination are selected as the designated location, the route search server 114 transfers the starting point information and the destination information to the map server 118 between the starting point and the destination. Request map information (ie, map information of a selected route) including various road information for connecting (step 326).

The map server 118 then maps the map DB 120 based on the latitude and longitude coordinate values received from the location server 124 (ie, the destination or origin location) and the origin or destination information received from the route search server 114. Detect or retrieve map information data including various road information connecting between the origin and the destination by searching for or searching the map DB 120 based on the origin and destination information received from the route search server 114, The extracted map information data is transmitted to the route search server 114 (step 328).
