Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a location based messaging service method,

The present invention relates to a location based message service method.

Generally, a message service is a service that allows a message to be exchanged only with a mobile terminal without using another device.

This message service allows a message to be sent only to a specified person or to a plurality of the same message.

When the sender creates a message on his / her mobile terminal and inputs a transmission button, the created message is delivered to the message service center through the network, and finally reaches the recipient's mobile terminal through the transmission channel.

Since the conventional message service merely transmits a message in order to transmit and receive a message in real time, it is necessary to provide an active service capable of meeting the needs of service subscribers who wish to receive a variety of additional services based on a communication infrastructure There are limits to implementation.

Accordingly, there is a growing need to implement a more active service by effectively combining the location service that enables the location information of the message service to be grasped.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating information transmitted between a caller terminal, a server, and a receiver terminal in a location-based message service method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in these figures, a method of providing a location based message service according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method in which a server 101 receives, from a calling terminal 103, caller location information (SLI), called party information (RI) (S210) of receiving sender information (SI) including the sender information (MI); The server 101 compares the unique information CI of the receiver terminal 105 with the receiver information RI and compares the receiver position information ALI of the receiver terminal 105 with the caller position information SLI Step S230; And the unique information CI of the receiver terminal 105 match the receiver information RI and the receiver position information ALI matches the transmitter position information SLI, the server 101 transmits the message information to the receiver terminal < RTI ID = And a message transmission step (S250) of transmitting the message to the mobile terminal (105).

Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.

In the sender information receiving step S210, the server 101 receives caller information SI including caller location information (SLI), called party information (RI) and message information (MI) from the calling terminal 103.

Here, the sender terminal 103 may be provided as a mobile communication terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a PDA or the like.

The sender information SI includes sender location information SLI, recipient information RI and message information MI. The sender location information SLI may be, for example, a Global Positioning System (GPS) The location information of the originator terminal 103 measured by the originator terminal or the location information selected from the map displayed on the originator terminal 103.

Here, the location information selected on the map displayed on the caller terminal 103 may be positioning information input through a map driven by the caller terminal 103. [

The called party information RI is information related to the unique information of the receiving terminal 105 to which the message information MI is to be transmitted and may be a unique ID of the receiving terminal 105 and a mobile communication telephone number.

The message information MI is information input through the caller terminal 103 and may include at least one of text information, image information, moving image information, and audio information.

Here, for example, text information may be provided as text message information of a long or short text, image information may be provided as photograph information, and audio information may be provided as voice information.

The sender information SI may also include date and time information DI to which the message information MI is to be sent to the recipient terminal 105. [

Then, in the information comparison step S230, the server 101 compares the unique information CI of the recipient terminal 105 with the recipient information RI, and transmits the recipient location information ALI of the recipient terminal 105 to the sender's location Information (SLI).

The unique information CI of the receiver terminal 105 may be a unique ID of the receiver terminal 105, a mobile communication telephone number, etc., and the receiver position information ALI of the receiver terminal 105 may be a satellite ID The position information of the receiver terminal 105 measured by a GPS (Global Positioning System).

If the unique information CI of the recipient terminal 105 matches the recipient information RI in the message transmission step S250 and the recipient location information ALI matches the sender location information SLI, 101 transmits message information MI to the recipient terminal 105.

That is, the server 101 confirms that the receiver information (RI) included in the sender information (SI) transmitted from the sender terminal 103 matches the unique information (CI) of the receiver terminal 105, The receiver is confirmed by the receiver terminal 105 and the receiver position information ALI transmitted from the receiver terminal 105 coincides with the transmitter position information SLI included in the transmitter information SI, (MI) transmitted from the originator terminal 103 to the recipient terminal 105 when it is confirmed that the recipient terminal 105 is within the predetermined position (area).

The user of the receiver terminal 105 can confirm the message information (MI) stored in the server 101 by the user of the transmitter terminal 103 through the receiver terminal 105 when the receiver terminal 105 arrives at a specific location.

Of course, when the recipient information RI of the sender information SI transmitted from the sender terminal 103 coincides with the unique information of the sender terminal 103 (i.e., when the receiver terminal 105 is the same as the sender terminal 103) The message information MI stored in the server 101 by the user of the sender terminal 103 can be confirmed by the user of the sender terminal 103 through the sender terminal 103 as it is.

Therefore, if the user of the sender terminal 103 transmits the message information MI to the server 101 with the receiver information RI specified in the same manner as the unique information of the sender terminal 103, the sender terminal 103 The message information MI stored in the server 101 is transmitted to the caller terminal 103 when the user of the caller terminal 103 arrives at the corresponding location, You will be able to recall your experience.

If the sender information SI includes the date and time information DI as described above, the server 101 transmits the date and time information DI at the message transmission step S250, And transmits the message information MI to the receiver terminal 105.

The message transmission step S250 is a step in which the server 101 transmits the push notification information PI to the receiver terminal 105 in response to the presence of the message information MI, The server 101 may be configured to send the message information MI to the recipient terminal 105. [

Here, the push notification information PI may be notification information in the form of a simple text or notification information in the form of a rich message (rich push) in which HTML, image, moving image, music, and the like are sent together.

The transmission destination of the message information MI can be selectively determined according to the recipient information RI of the sender information SI transmitted from the sender terminal 103. That is, The message information MI is transmitted only to the user of the originator terminal 103 and the recipient information RI is transmitted to the plurality of recipient terminals 103 stored in the originator terminal 103, When the unique information of the recipient terminal 105 is included, a plurality of recipient terminals 103 to receive the message information MI are provided.

According to the recipient information RI, the user of the sender terminal 103 can select an object to which the message information MI is to be transmitted.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since a message is left at a specific place based on the location information and the message can be confirmed when the mobile terminal arrives at a specific place where the message is left, At some point, the message can be received at a specific location, so that the recipient can be reminded of an old memory or experience or reminded of something to do.
