Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for providing a service based on context information for a vehicle to provide an experience similar to generating content using context information of content to a user. BACKGROUND

[0002] When using a general navigation system, a user needs to know an address or title for specifying a destination in order to set a destination through a text-based search. Therefore, the user needs to search for location information directly in a post or item and input the location information to a navigation system in order to directly have an experience related to corresponding content while reading a post of content such as a social network service (SNS).

[0003] This means that the user is disconnected from context information of a scenery or a place in an SNS that the user likes. Therefore, when the user wants to directly experience content that he or she is interested in, if the user does not experience the inconvenience of searching for additional information such as a corresponding location or place and inputting the information, a digital experience and an actual experience are inevitably disconnected from each other.

[0004] For example, when a user sees a scenery photograph to be viewed within a specific time range on an SNS and wants to directly experience the same scenery as the scenery photograph with naked eyes at a corresponding place, the user infers a destination only through a title or other input text of a corresponding post. In other words, a place related to corresponding content can be set as a destination, but the user inevitably experiences the inconvenience of performing a search and inputting a destination, and even if the user arrives at the destination, it can not be certain whether an experience similar to the corresponding content can be had when the user arrives at the destination.

[0005] Therefore, when a destination is set based on content, a method of assisting an offline experience similar to content rather than a simple guide can be expected. SUMMARY

[0006] The disclosure provides a method and apparatus for providing a more convenient service based on context information for a vehicle.

[0007] In particular, the disclosure provides a method and apparatus for providing a route guidance service to have an experience similar to corresponding content by extracting context information from content.

[0008] Other advantages, objects, and features of the disclosure will be set forth in part by the description which follows and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following or can be learned from practice of the disclosure. The objectives and other advantages of the disclosure can be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.

[0009] To achieve these objects and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein, a method of providing a content context information-based service includes: acquiring at least one content information published through a first service of a user based on information about an activity of the first service of the user; transmitting the at least one content information to a vehicle terminal; when the vehicle terminal selects the at least one content information, generating at least one route information based on context information of content corresponding to the selected content information, the route information being for reaching when an environment similar to an environment in which the content corresponding to the selected content information is generated is formed; and transmitting the at least one route information to the vehicle terminal.

[0010] In another aspect of the present disclosure, a content context information-based service providing system includes: a connected car service server configured to acquire at least one content information published through a first service of a user from a content publishing server based on information about an activity of the first service of the user; and a vehicle terminal configured to: receive the acquired at least one content information; and when a selection input of any one of the at least one content information is received, transmit information about the selection input to the connected car service server, wherein the connected car service server generates at least one route information based on context information of content corresponding to the selected content information, the route information being for reaching when an environment similar to an environment in which the content corresponding to the selected content information is generated is formed; and transmits the at least one route information to the vehicle terminal.

[0020] In addition, unless otherwise specified, when a certain part "includes" a certain component, it means that the part can further include another component, and it does not necessarily exclude such another component. The same reference numerals are used to refer to the same parts throughout the drawings and the specification.

[0021] Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide route information for a place where corresponding content is experienced to allow a user to directly have an experience similar to content based on context information of the content.

[0022] First, terms are defined before a service providing apparatus (system) or a service providing method according to embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail.

[0023] In the case of content including a video image or a still image generated via photography by a content publisher using a photographing device at a certain place, the place for experiencing the content can refer to a photographing location. In addition, in the case of content using a process of a certain facility, such as eating at a restaurant, using at an amusement park, purchasing at a store, or watching a concert or its environment, the place for experiencing the content can refer to the corresponding facility.

[0024] Content stated in embodiments can be content at least specifying a place thereof as an image, a video image, a sound, a text, or a combination thereof. For example, the content can be a post of a social network service (SNS), can be an item corresponding to a website for providing evaluation information about each store of a specified type of business or a specific store of an application, an item corresponding to information about an evaluation of a specific place of a portal, or a conversation item of a messenger service such as a chat application, but this is merely exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0025] However, the content according to the embodiment can include at least information for extracting a location set to a guide destination of a navigation system regardless of a form of the content. The information can include global positioning system (GPS) coordinate information for directly extracting a location, information about a commodity name for extracting a place by searching in a database, information about a place name, or a phone number. For example, the GPS coordinate information can be included in a photo image, metadata, or map information configuring the content, and the information about the commodity name, the information about the place name, and the phone number can have a form of text or tagged information included in a post.

[0026] Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a service providing system according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The service providing system according to the embodiment can include a content publishing server 100, a connected car service server 200, a vehicle terminal 300 (e.g., an audio / video / navigation terminal (AVNT)), and a user terminal 400.

[0028] First, the content publishing server 100 can provide a service for storing content including a photo image, an image, or the like and publishing content to be read through a browser, an application, or the like. In this case, the content publishing server 100 can contain context information for generating corresponding content in a predetermined form, for example, a place where the content is generated, a date and time when the content is generated, or a route and information to be viewed, for example, a photo image or an image. The form containing the context information can be metadata stored in a header of an image or a video image, or can be tagged data, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the content publishing server 100 can include a server for providing an SNS service, a server for providing an evaluation of a specific place or a store, or a portal server, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0029] The connected car service (hereinafter referred to as "CCS" for convenience) server 200 can include a cloud system, and can use the cloud system to operatively associate a user account and a vehicle (i.e., the vehicle terminal 300) with each other using authentication. The CCS server 200 can receive information related to the operation of a vehicle in which the vehicle terminal 300 is installed by communicating with the vehicle terminal 300, or can transmit a control signal or data for controlling at least some functions of the corresponding vehicle to the vehicle. The CCS server 200 can communicate with an external device connected to the CCS server 200 using a user account such as the user terminal 400, as well as with the vehicle terminal 300, and in particular, according to an embodiment of the disclosure, when a user logs in through the vehicle terminal 300, the user account can be operatively associated with a content posting server 100 such as an SNS. Thereby, the CCS server 200 can transmit at least one content information from the content posting server 100 to the vehicle terminal 300 based on the user's activity with respect to a service such as an SNS provided by the content posting server 100. The CCS server 200 can be implemented to configure a telematics center or a part thereof, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0030] The vehicle terminal 300 can exchange data with at least the connected car service server 200 via wireless communication, and can exchange data under predetermined conditions (e.g., until a preset time elapses after the vehicle is turned off) even when the vehicle is turned off or there is no passenger in the vehicle, and when the vehicle is turned on. For example, the vehicle terminal 300 can be an AVNT or a head unit, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. Reference will be made to Figure 2 The detailed configuration and functions of the vehicle terminal 300 will be described in more detail.

[0031] The user terminal 400 can include a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a smart tablet, or a notebook computer, and a fixed terminal such as a personal computer (PC), but this is only exemplary, and the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the user terminal 400 can be any form of terminal as long as the terminal can use a service provided by the content posting server 100 or the CCS server 200 through a browser, an application, or the like. Without explanation, although not shown in Figure 1 When the user terminal 400 is a smart device, the user terminal 400 can also directly communicate with the vehicle terminal 300 through a predetermined communication protocol (e.g., Wi-Fi, BT, ZigBee, or NFC), although not shown in

[0032] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a vehicle terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosure.

[0033] Reference Figure 2According to an embodiment, the vehicle terminal 300 can include a communicator 310, an input / output unit 320, a controller 330, and a memory 340.

[0034] The communicator 310 can include a wired communication module (not shown) for performing communication with a vehicle-mounted component (e.g., another controller) based on a vehicle network, and a wireless communication module (not shown) for communicating with a component outside the vehicle, such as the CSS server 200. The wireless communication module can be configured in the form of a telematics module, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0035] The input / output unit 320 can include one or more of devices for receiving or outputting information, such as a voice input / output terminal, a display, a touch screen, a dial, or a key button.

[0036] The controller 330 can control the overall functions of the components of the vehicle terminal 300, such as the communicator 310 or the input / output unit 320. When the vehicle terminal 300 is configured in the form of an AVNT, the controller 330 can perform a calculation for multimedia playback, an interface for controlling the functions of the vehicle or providing a navigation function, and specifically, the controller 330 according to an embodiment can include a content manager 331 and can perform a content management function such as acquisition and output of content or output of route information. The content manager 331 can be configured in the form of an embedded module, or can be configured in the form of a function of an operating system driven by the controller 330 or a function of an application program executed in the operating system, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0037] According to an embodiment, the memory 340 can store an operating system, an application program, user data, and information about content, and temporarily store input and output data for the calculation of the controller 330, and can include one or more storage devices or modules.

[0038] Specifically, the controller 330 or the content manager 331 of the vehicle terminal 300 according to an embodiment can store information about content downloaded from the CSS server 200 in the memory 340 in a predetermined form (e.g., in the form of an archive of a personal folder), and can output the stored content through an output device such as a display when a preset output condition is satisfied. The preset output condition can correspond to a case where a command for calling at least one content previously acquired through a predetermined menu manipulation of a user is input, a case where a user approaches a location related to at least one pre-acquired content within a predetermined distance, or a case where content newly posted in an SNS to which the user subscribes is acquired from the CSS server 200, but this is only exemplary, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0039] Figure 3is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process of providing a context information-based service of contents according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In Figure 3 In the above, it can be assumed that the content publishing server 100 provides an SNS service, but this is for convenience of description, and it is obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 First, account association (S301) can be performed. Here, the account association can mean that an SNS account registered in the content publishing server 100 is operatively associated with an account for a connected car service of a user. In this case, the account association can mean that an integrated account is generated between the connected car service and the SNS service, but the integrated account can be configured in any form as long as the account association assigns a right for accessing information about activities of a corresponding account to the account for the connected car service in the content publishing server 100. Thus, when the account association is completed, the CSS server 200 can become a state of acquiring information about activities of a corresponding SNS service of an SNS account operatively associated with a corresponding account from the content publishing server 100 through the account for the connected car service. Here, the acquisition of information about activities can refer to acquisition of information about contents read by a user, contents for which a preference such as a bookmark is set, or contents directly published.

[0041] The user can perform an SNS activity such as preference content setting (S302) through the user terminal 400. Although Figure 3 The current operation S302 is illustrated as an operation after the account association S301, but the operation S302 can be performed before the account association S301.

[0042] The vehicle terminal 300 can notify the CCS server 200 of activation of a function based on published contents according to a user's command input (S303). This operation can be replaced with a process of setting whether to use a current function in the account for the connected car service through the user terminal 400, and when the service use is set to a default value in the vehicle terminal 300, if the account association is checked, the operation can be automatically performed.

[0043] When verifying an intention to use a corresponding service of the user, for example, a request for a function based on posted content, the CSS server 200 can acquire content information based on an activity of searching for an SNS service, such as posted content information of a corresponding user, based on authorization acquired through account association in the content posting server 100, and can acquire content information based on the activity (S304). In this case, the acquired content information can be content directly set as preferred content by the user, or can be content determined to have a higher user preference based on the activity of the user. The content information can include an image, a video image, a thumbnail image thereof, context information of the content, etc. The search / acquisition of the content information (S304) can be performed according to a real-time update notification of the content posting server 100, or can be performed at a predetermined time period, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0044] The CSS server 200 can transmit the acquired content information to the vehicle terminal 300 (S305), and the vehicle terminal 300 can store the received content information in the memory 340 or the like (S306). Then, the vehicle terminal 300 can output at least one of the stored content information through an output device according to whether a preset content output condition is satisfied (S307).

[0045] When there is content information indicating a selection command from the user in the output content information (S308), the vehicle terminal 300 can notify the CCS server 200 of information about the selected content (S309). In this case, the vehicle terminal 300 can also transmit information about the current location to generate route information to be described below by the CCS server 200.

[0046] Based on the context information of the selected content, the CCS server 200 can generate route information to have an environment similar to that of the author of the corresponding content when the user arrives at a location related to the corresponding content (S310). In this case, the route information can include information about a departure time for the user to arrive at a time or a time range in which the user can have a similar experience to the corresponding content. A more detailed procedure of generating the route information will be described below with reference to FIG. 4. Figure 4

[0047] The route information generated by the CCS server 200 can be transmitted to the vehicle terminal 300 (S311), and the vehicle terminal 300 can provide a service based on the received route information (S312). In this case, the provided service can include at least one of a function for displaying a route including a departure time, a function of displaying information about an environment at the time of generating content, or a function of guiding to a corresponding route, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0048] ​Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process of generating route information by a service server according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Figure 4 The flowchart of FIG. 4 can correspond to operations S310 to S311 of the flowchart of FIG. 3. Figure 3 The flowchart of FIG. 4 can correspond to operations S310 to S311 of the flowchart of FIG. 3.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 4, Figure 4 The CCS server 200 can acquire context information of the content selected by the user from the content publishing server 100 in order to generate route information based on the context information (S401). When the context information has been acquired in operation S304 of FIG. 3, the current operation can be omitted. Figure 3 The CCS server 200 can acquire context information of the content selected by the user from the content publishing server 100 in order to generate route information based on the context information (S401). When the context information has been acquired in operation S304 of FIG. 3, the current operation can be omitted.

[0050] When acquiring the context information of the corresponding content, the CCS server 200 can generate route information in consideration of the type of the content. The determination of the type of the content can be performed based on the type of the command input by the user through the vehicle terminal 300 as described below with reference to Figures 6A-6B and Figures 7A-7B but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0051] First, when the content selected by the user is a landscape content (YES in S402), the CCS server 200 can acquire information about a photographing environment at the time of photographing (S403). For example, landscape photography is largely affected by the season, the sun height, the sun direction (the sunrise angle or the sunset angle), the weather, etc., and thus the CCS server 200 can determine photographing locations based on the context and can determine the regional weather, the sun height, the sun direction, etc. at the time of photographing at the respective photographing locations.

[0052] Then, the CCS server 200 can determine a time at which an external environment similar to the time of photographing is formed (S404). For example, the CCS server 200 can determine a similar environment formation time that is at least one future time at which the sun height, the sun direction, or the weather corresponds to an environment identical to or similar to the time at which the content is generated at the corresponding photographing location. To this end, the CCS server 200 can set different weights with respect to respective factors such as the sun height, the sun direction, the weather, or the season, and can also arrange the similar environment formation times in descending order such that a higher sum of weights is followed by a lower sum of weights.

[0053] When the at least one similar environment formation time is determined, the CCS server 200 can determine a route for reaching the content photography location at each of the at least one similar environment formation time or a previous time thereof based on the current location of the vehicle, can calculate a departure time in reverse, and can generate route information (S405). In this case, the departure time can include a latest departure time to reach the content photography location before each similar environment formation time with respect to the similar environment formation time, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0054] When the content selected by the user is facility content (S406 is Yes) rather than landscape content (S402 is No), the CCS server 200 can designate a facility related to the content based on the context information, and can check the operating time of the corresponding facility (S407).

[0055] When the operating time of the corresponding facility is determined, the CCS server 200 can determine a route for reaching the corresponding facility at the operating time or a previous time thereof based on the current location of the vehicle, can calculate a departure time in reverse, and can generate route information (S408). In this case, when the operating time of the day is divided into a plurality of times (for example, a screening time in a theater or a lunch / dinner in a restaurant), the departure time can be generated for each time, and when the facility is a restaurant, the departure time can also be determined as an average time considering a meal, a final order deadline, etc.

[0056] When the content selected by the user does not correspond to either of the landscape or facility content (S406 is No), route information to a location related to the corresponding content can be generated according to route search logic set as a default value (for example, logic based on real-time traffic information, logic based on lane priority, shortest distance, or shortest time) (S409).

[0057] When the route information is completely generated, the CCS server 200 can transmit the generated route information to the vehicle terminal 300 (S410).

[0058] When the vehicle is unable to enter the location of the facility or the photography location during the foregoing process, the CCS server 200 can set the destination of the route information to the nearest location or the nearest parking space where the vehicle is able to enter according to the setting, and can further guide the user to reach the walking route through the user terminal 400.

[0059] Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given of providing a context-based service through a vehicle terminal with reference to Figures 5A to 7B

[0060] Figures 5A-5C FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a case in which a service is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0061] ​First, referring to Figure 5A , a user can generate information about an activity, for example, a setting about whether content in content 510 provided by a content publishing server 100 such as an SNS service is preferred, through a smart tablet 400A that is a user terminal. An account used in the SNS service can be operatively associated with a connected car service account through a connected car service application 520 or the like.

[0062] Then, when the CSS server 200 transmits content information to the vehicle terminal 300, the content information can be transmitted in the form of a thumbnail image 530 through the display 321 of the vehicle terminal 300 according to whether an output condition is satisfied, as shown in Figure 5B . Here, when the user selects specific content information and, for example, selects a thumbnail 530, the CSS server 200 can generate route information based on context information of the corresponding content.

[0063] The generated route information can be transmitted to the vehicle terminal 300 and can be displayed in the form of a table through the display 321 for route information 540 to a location related to the corresponding content. When there is a location related to other content on the route or within a predetermined distance range from the route, information 550 of the other content can also be displayed.

[0064] Figures 6A-6B is a diagram showing an example of a form of a landscape content-related service provided through a vehicle terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Figures 6A-6B shows a subsequent process when specific content information is selected in Figure 5B .

[0065] First, referring to Figure 6A , when specific content information that displays content information displayed on the display 321 of the vehicle terminal 300 is selected, an additional menu 621, 622, and 623 can be provided together with a representative image 610 of the corresponding content. The additional menu can include a landscape experience 621, a facility use 622, and a route 623, and here, when the user selects the landscape experience 621, the CCS server 200 can proceed to YES in operation S402 of Figure 4 .

[0066] Therefore, when route information is received from the CCS server 200, the route information 630 can be displayed as shown in Figure 6B . As shown in the drawing, the route information 630 can include information about a photographing environment at the time of photographing, and information about at least one departure time to arrive at the time when an environment similar to the time of photographing is provided.

[0067] Figures 7A-7Bis a diagram showing an example of a form of a facility content-related service provided through a vehicle terminal according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Figures 7A-7B Also shown is a subsequent procedure when specific content information is selected in Figure 5B .

[0068] First, referring to Figure 7A , when specific content information is selected from among the content information displayed on the display 321 of the vehicle terminal 300, an additional menu can be provided together with a representative image 710 of the corresponding content. When the facility use 720 of the additional menu is selected, the vehicle terminal 300 can notify the CCS server of the selection of the corresponding content of the facility use, and the CCS server 200 can proceed to Figure 4 .

[0069] Accordingly, when the route information is received from the CCS server 200, the received route information 730 can be displayed as shown in Figure 7B . As shown, the route information 730 can include information on the operation times of the facility related to the corresponding content, and information on the departure times for each operation time. Even if the vehicle departs now, the user can be notified of information indicating that the vehicle cannot reach the destination with respect to the operation time for which the service is not available.

[0070] The aforementioned method and form of outputting the route information and the type and form of the additional menu can be merely exemplary, and it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that various modifications can be made.

[0071] The service providing apparatus related to at least one embodiment of the disclosure as configured above can provide a more convenient context information-based service for a vehicle.

[0072] Specifically, the service providing apparatus according to the embodiment can extract context information from content and can guide a user departure time and recommend a route, so that a similar experience to the corresponding content can be achieved when the vehicle departs according to the guidance.

[0073] Those of skill in the art will recognize that the effects which can be achieved by the disclosure are not limited to what has been particularly described hereinabove and other advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent from the detailed description.

[0074] The foregoing disclosure of the present disclosure can also be embodied as computer readable code stored on a computer readable recording medium. The computer readable recording medium is any data storage device that can store data which can be subsequently read by a computer. Examples of the computer readable recording medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, etc.

[0075] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
