Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a kiosk setting method and system for a cheering stick pairing service, and more particularly to a kiosk setting method and system for managing a cheering stick pairing service performed in a plurality of kiosks installed in a concert venue. [Background technology]

[0002] To create a concert performance using cheering sticks, each user can download a library in advance that presets the lighting of the cheering stick to match the signature hue or rhythm of the song of the team or artist they are supporting, and apply it to their cheering stick.

[0003] In order to allow such libraries to be stored in the cheering stick before a concert, a pairing service has been launched to transmit the libraries to the cheering stick carried by each user at the concert venue according to conventional technology.

[0004] However, in order to provide the pairing service, an administrator must have concert-related information stored individually in each of the multiple kiosks installed at the concert venue, and when changes occur in the concert-related information, each kiosk must be passively and individually updated, which is inefficient in terms of time, procedures, and personnel.

[0005] In addition, the multiple kiosks installed at the concert venue operate independently and there is no central management device to control them, so there is a problem that the operating status of all the kiosks cannot be grasped in real time and it is not possible to respond to any issues that may suddenly occur at each kiosk.

[0006] Furthermore, when trying to collect information about pairings that were performed at each kiosk after the concert has ended, rather than in real time, there is the inconvenience of having to extract the information from each kiosk and compile it manually, so there is an urgent need to develop technology to solve this problem.

In the description with reference to the drawings, the same or corresponding components are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a kiosk setting system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, a kiosk setting system (hereinafter, kiosk setting system) for a cheering stick pairing service according to one embodiment of the present invention can provide a kiosk setting service (hereinafter, kiosk setting service) for managing a cheering stick pairing service performed at multiple kiosks installed at a concert venue.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cheering stick pairing service refers to a service in which a seat library is connected to the cheering sticks via short-range communication and transmitted from a kiosk to the cheering sticks in a concert venue so that multiple cheering sticks can operate in a unified lighting pattern.

[0025] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the seat library requires that the cheering sticks be stored in advance using a kiosk or the like before the start of the concert, and since each cheering stick is placed on a different seat, it can be stored differently depending on the seat.

[0026] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk setting system may be a system that provides a service of setting information to be pre-stored and set in order to provide the cheering stick pairing service to a plurality of kiosks that provide the cheering stick pairing service.

[0027] In this case, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk setting system may provide a kiosk setting service in which a master kiosk sets predetermined information so that the master kiosk can provide the support stick pairing service to a plurality of slave kiosks.

[0028] Such a kiosk setting system can provide at least one of the following services: concert preparation information management, connection server management, device setting management, popup management, pairing statistics, firmware management, and preset function.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, a kiosk setting system implementing the above kiosk setting service may be connected via a kiosk 100, a cheering stick 200, a concert preparation server 300, a user terminal 400, and a network 10.

[0030] Here, the network 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention refers to a connection structure that allows information exchange between each node such as the kiosk 100, the cheering pole 200, the concert preparation server 300, and / or the user terminal 400. Examples of such a network 10 include a 3GPP (registered trademark) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a WIMAX (World Interoperability for Microwave Access) network, the Internet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wireless Local Area Network (Wireless LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Personal Area Network (PAN), a Bluetooth (registered trademark) network, a satellite broadcasting network, an analog broadcasting network, a Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) network, etc., but the network 10 is not limited to the examples shown here.

[0031] Hereinafter, the kiosk 100, the cheering stick 200, the concert preparation server 300 and the user terminal 400 which embody the kiosk setting system will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0032] [Kiosk 100 (KIOSK)] The kiosk 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a computing device that provides a kiosk setting service and / or a cheering stick pairing service.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, a specific computing device providing the kiosk setting service and the cheering stick pairing service is described based on being embodied by a kiosk 100, but may also be embodied by a mobile type computing device (e.g., a tablet and a smartphone) and / or a desktop type computing device (e.g., a PC) and peripheral devices connected thereto.

[0034] Moreover, the kiosk 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a master kiosk and / or a slave kiosk.

[0035] Here, the master kiosk according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a kiosk that controls other devices and processes including one or more slave kiosks and acts as a communication hub. Also, the slave kiosk according to the embodiment may be a kiosk that provides a cheering stick pairing service under the control of the master kiosk.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the master kiosk stores a kiosk setting program and / or a cheering stick pairing program for controlling at least one slave kiosk, and the slave kiosk may store the cheering stick pairing program.

[0037] This allows the master kiosk to provide a kiosk pairing service, and the slave kiosks to provide a cheering stick pairing service under the control of the master kiosk.

[0038] For convenience of explanation, the following description will be given assuming that the kiosk 100 is the master kiosk, and the kiosk will be divided into a master kiosk and / or a slave kiosk when necessary.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may further include a predetermined server computing device that provides a kiosk pairing service environment.

[0040] FIG. 2 is an internal block diagram of a kiosk according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, the communications processor 110 can receive concert preparation information, including seating library and concert related details, in real time from the concert management server 300 .

[0053] In other words, when the kiosk 100 including such a communication processor 110 is embodied as an online type, it obtains changing concert information in real time, so that it can immediately respond to sudden changes in concert information, enabling users receiving the support stick pairing service of the slave kiosk to stably obtain the latest information.

[0054] The account tag module 120 may include a first short-range communication processor for detecting a tagged device, where tagging means that a predetermined device approaches the account tag module 120 within a predetermined distance.

[0055] In this case, the tagged device may be an account authentication device that includes account-related information of a user who owns the cheering stick 200 in a platform where a concert is produced for the cheering stick 200. Such an account authentication device may perform a function of authenticating a user's account to the kiosk 100, a ticket authentication device, a merchandise sales device, etc., through remote communication.

[0056] In particular, the account tag module 120 can detect whether a tagged device is in proximity and, upon detection, can communicate with the device in close proximity to obtain information stored on the device.

[0057] For example, the account tag module 120 may include a communication chip for short-range communication, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST), Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI), or Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the account tag module 120 may be an NFC reader device (eg, an NFC tag pad) that performs NFC functions.

[0059] In addition, the account tag module 120 can transmit and receive various data related to the cheering stick pairing service to and from an external device based on the NFC function.

[0060] Such an account tag module 120 can transmit and receive data to and from external devices based on a medium using a communication protocol defined in the NFC international commonly used standards ISO / IEC 18092 (or ECMA-340, NFCIC-1 and ISO / IEC 21481 (or ECMA-352, NFCIC-2), specifically, ISO / IEC 14443 (Proximity Card), ISO / IEC 15693 (Vicinity Card), JIS:X6319 (FeliCa (registered trademark)), MIFARE, etc.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the account tag module 120 recognizes that the account authentication device is located within a predetermined distance, it can perform short-range communication with the account authentication device to obtain user account information.

[0062] The cheering stick pairing module 130 may include a second short-range communications processor for sensing tagged devices.

[0063] In particular, the cheering stick pairing module 130 detects whether a tagged, placed (STAND) and attached device (in an embodiment, the cheering stick 200) is approaching, and upon detection, can communicate with the device to send and receive data.

[0064] For example, the cheering stick pairing module 130 may include a communication chip that performs short-range communication (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST), Near Field Magnetic Induction (NFMI), or Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication).

[0065] In addition, the cheering stick pairing module 130 can transmit and receive various data related to the cheering stick pairing service with an external device based on short-range communication.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the cheering stick pairing module 130 recognizes that the cheering stick 200 is located within a predetermined distance, it can perform short-range communication with the cheering stick 200 to send and receive various data for receiving the seat library.

[0067] In terms of hardware, such a cheering rod pairing module 130 may include a predetermined support member for stably fixing the cheering rod 200 located within a predetermined distance.

[0068] For example, the predetermined support member may be embodied in the form of a stand for standing the cheering rod 200, a pad for placing the cheering rod 200, or a box having a space inside for storing the cheering rod 200, etc.

[0069] The input / output system 140 can include a sensor system, an input system, and a display system.

[0070] The sensor system may include at least one of an image sensor, a position sensor, an audio sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity sensor, and a contact sensor.

[0071] Here, image sensor 141 can capture images and / or video of the physical space surrounding kiosk 100 .

[0072] In an embodiment, the image sensor 141 may capture and acquire an image (e.g., a ticket image, etc.) related to the cheering stick pairing service.

[0073] In addition, the image sensor 141 is arranged on the front and / or rear of the kiosk 100 to capture images from the direction in which it is arranged, and can capture images of paper tickets, etc. through a camera arranged facing the outside of the kiosk 100.

[0074] Such an image sensor 141 may include an image sensor device and an image processing module. In particular, the image sensor 141 may process still or moving images obtained by an image sensor device (e.g., CMOS or CCD).

[0075] In addition, the image sensor 141 can process still or moving images acquired through the image sensor device using an image processing module (eg, OCR) to extract necessary information, and transmit the extracted information to the processor.

[0076] The image sensor 141 may be a camera assembly including at least one camera.

[0077] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the image sensor 141 as described above may be included in the kiosk 100 and operate, or may be included in an external device (e.g., an external server, etc.) and operate through linkage based on the above-mentioned communication processor 110, etc.

[0078] The audio sensor can recognize sounds around the kiosk 100 .

[0079] In particular, the audio sensor may include a microphone capable of sensing voice input from a user using the kiosk 100 .

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, the audio sensor can receive voice data from a user that is necessary for the cheering stick pairing service.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 may include a speaker to output voice data input based on the audio sensor.

[0082] The input system can sense user input (e.g., gestures, voice commands, button activations, or other types of input) associated with the cheer stick pairing service.

[0083] In particular, the input system may include certain buttons, touch sensors and / or an image sensor 141 that receives user motion input.

[0084] The input system can also be connected to an external controller to receive user input.

[0085] The display system may output various information related to the cheering stick pairing service in the form of graphic images and detect a user's touch input for library pairing.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present invention, the display system may display a user interface (UI), library pairing content, and / or content management system (CMS) based data.

[0087] Such a display may include at least one of a liquid crystal display (LCD), a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a flexible display, a 3D display, and an e-ink display.

[0088] In such a kiosk 100 housing in which the above components may be disposed, the user interface may include a touch sensor 145 on a display 143 configured to receive user touch input.

[0089] In particular, the display system may include a display 143 for outputting images and a touch sensor 145 for sensing user touch input.

[0090] By way of example, the display 143 may be embodied as a touch screen by being inter-layered with or integrally formed with the touch sensor 145. Such a touch screen may function as a user input unit providing an input interface between the kiosk 100 and a user, and may also provide an output interface between the kiosk 100 and a user.

[0091] The memory 150 may store at least one of various application programs, data, and commands for providing a kiosk setting service and / or a support pole pairing service environment.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present invention, memory 150 may store applications including commands for controlling kiosk 100 .

[0093] The memory 150 may also include a program area and a data area.

[0094] Here, the program area according to one embodiment of the present invention can be linked between the operating system (OS) that boots the kiosk 100 and functional elements, and the data area can store data generated by the use of the kiosk 100.

[0095] Additionally, memory 150 may include at least one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media and transitory computer-readable storage media.

[0096] For example, the memory 150 may be a variety of storage devices such as a ROM, an EPROM, a flash drive, a hard drive, and the like, and may include web storage that performs storage functions for the memory 150 over the Internet.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present invention, the memory 150 may previously store information required to perform the kiosk setting service and / or the cheering stick pairing service.

[0098] In detail, in one embodiment of the present invention, the memory 150 may pre-store connection server management information, device setting management information, pop-up management information, pairing statistics information, firmware management information, and / or preset information for performing the kiosk setting service, and concert preparation information including concert name, artist name, concert time, concert venue, cheering data (in detail, seat library), user account information, advance ticket information, and / or seat information for performing the cheering stick pairing service.

[0099] The cheering data refers to data that predefines various lighting patterns that the cheering sticks 200 should light up in the seats where the cheering sticks 200 are located in order to perform a unified concert before the concert.

[0100] Such cheering data is data that the cheering sticks 200 must store in advance before the start of the concert, and since each cheering stick 200 is placed in a different seat, the cheering data can be stored differently depending on the seat information.

[0101] Hereinafter, cheering data corresponding to one seat on which the cheering stick 200 is placed will be referred to as a seat library.

[0102] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the support data may include a lighting pattern, a library, and a scenario.

[0103] 3a and 3b are diagrams illustrating information contained in the cheering data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 3a, in one embodiment of the present invention, support data 1000 may include a plurality of library data 1010-1030.

[0105] The lighting pattern refers to the lighting form in which the cheering stick 200 operates according to components including the presence or absence of lighting (eg, On / Off), color, and brightness.

[0106] Such lighting patterns may also include lighting effects as components, where the components are configured to change over time to create dynamic visual effects.

[0107] For example, lighting effects can include a 1) blink effect, in which the presence or absence of light is set differently for each time period within a certain time, causing the cheering stick to blink quickly, a 2) gradation effect, in which the hue of the light is set differently for each time period within a certain time, and the hue of the light changes sequentially, and a 3) fade in / out effect, in which the brightness is set differently for each time period, and the brightness gradually decreases or increases.

[0108] The library may include data that presets the light emission patterns of the cheering sticks 200, such as an identification number and light emission pattern component setting values ​​(hereinafter, light emission pattern setting values).

[0109] For example, the hue included in the lighting pattern setting value can be set by a hexadecimal code representing the RGB hue, and the brightness included in the lighting pattern setting value can be set by a brightness value between 0 and 100, where the higher the value, the brighter the brightness.

[0110] For example, the first library 1010 may mean an identification number 0001 for identifying the first library 1010, and data set with lighting ON, a first color, a first brightness, and a first lighting effect.

[0111] Referring to the example shown in Fig. 3a, each library is represented by an identification number / illumination / hue / brightness / illumination effect. For example, the first library 1010 may be a binary sequence representing an illumination pattern setting value of (0001 / ON / 255,0,0 / 50 / Blink). The third library 1030 may be a binary sequence representing an illumination pattern setting value of (0003 / ON / 0,0,255 / 10 / Grad). Meanwhile, since the illumination status of the second library 1020 is OFF, illumination pattern setting values ​​corresponding to hue, brightness, and illumination effect may not be set.

[0112] In other words, when only a control signal for executing the first library 1010 is sent to the cheering stick 200 storing a plurality of libraries 1010 to 1030 in a concert venue, the cheering stick 200 can operate and emit light with a first hue which is red corresponding to 255,0,0, a first brightness which is 50 levels of brightness, and a first lighting effect which is a bright Blink effect.

[0113] A scenario is data for setting the operation time of at least one library (hereinafter, library setting value) during a predetermined time period and changing the lighting pattern of the cheering stick 200 during the preset time period, and may include a scenario identification number for identifying each scenario.

[0114] Such a scenario can correspond to, for example, one song. In other words, the operation time of one scenario is the same as the playback time of one song, and while the song is being played, the cheering stick 200 can operate while changing its light emission pattern according to the library setting value.

[0115] For example, the first scenario 1100 may be data having an identification number 001 and defined to run in a first library for 5 seconds, then run in a second library for the next 3 seconds, and then run in a third library for the next 2 seconds.

[0116] Referring to FIG. 3b, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cheering data 1000 may include multiple scenarios 1100 and 1200.

[0117] In particular, referring to an example shown in Fig. 3b, each scenario is represented by an identification number / library type number-duration. For example, a first scenario 1100 may include library settings of (001, 0001-5sec / 0002-3sec / 0003-2sec). A second scenario 1200 may include library settings of (002, 0005-8sec / 0002-30sec / 0003-14sec).

[0118] In other words, when a cheering stick 200 storing multiple scenarios 1100 and 1200 at a concert venue is sent only a low-power control signal for operating in the first scenario 1100, the cheering stick 200 can operate in the first lighting pattern according to the first library 1010 for five seconds, then in the second lighting pattern according to the second library 1020 for the next three seconds, and in the third lighting pattern according to the third library 1030 for the next two seconds.

[0119] Although the identification numbers for the seats on which the cheering sticks 200 are placed are the same for these libraries and scenarios, the lighting pattern setting values ​​and library setting values ​​are different, so that the cheering sticks 200 can be illuminated differently from each other.

[0120] In detail, for example, a first cheering rod placed in a first seat storing a first library 1010 and a second cheering rod placed in a second seat may store the same first library 1010 with an identification number of 0001, but the lighting pattern setting values ​​set in the first library 1010 may be different from each other.

[0121] For example, the first library may include a first seat-first library which is a first library for the first seat, and second seat-first library through nth seat-first library.

[0122] At this time, the first seat-first library to the nth seat-first library can be defined with respective lighting pattern setting values ​​so that the cheering sticks 200 arranged at the first to nth seats have a specific shape when viewed as a whole, and perform a unified concert performance. Therefore, the concert director can perform a unified concert performance by simply operating the first library, and the cheering sticks at each seat read the first library stored corresponding to the seat and operate according to the lighting pattern setting value.

[0123] Similarly, a first cheering rod placed in a first seat and a second cheering rod placed in a second seat storing the same first scenario 1100 may have different library setting values ​​specified for the first scenario 1100, even if they have the same identification number 001 and store the same first scenario 1100.

[0124] In other words, the concert manager can use a first library and a first scenario having different setting values ​​for each seat to perform a concert production in which the cheering sticks 200 placed on each seat operate simultaneously but emit light in different illumination patterns, so that the cheering sticks appear in a specific shape or pattern when viewed from a position away from the audience seats.

[0125] Also, the cheering data may be stored in the memory 150 including a seat library corresponding to the number of seats, which is mapped to each seat in order to produce a different lighting pattern for each seat. That is, each seat and cheering data may be embodied in the form of a mutually corresponding mapping table, but is not limited thereto. In accordance with each embodiment of the present invention, cheering data may be generated by grouping seats operated with a common lighting pattern and defining a lighting pattern setting value for each group.

[0126] As a result, the cheering stick 200 can store cheering data (i.e., a seat library) corresponding to each seat that will be placed during the concert in advance, and the kiosk 100 can guide the user through this process by providing a cheering stick pairing service, which will be described in detail later.

[0127] That is, the kiosk 100 including the memory 150 for storing the above-mentioned data for performing the cheering stick pairing service may be implemented as an offline type. The offline type master kiosk and / or slave kiosk stores and keeps information related to a concert in advance, which reduces the cost of establishing a communication function for the kiosk 100, and can be installed in places where the communication infrastructure is not smooth, which has the effect of expanding the area where the kiosk can be used.

[0128] The processor assembly 160 may include at least one processor capable of executing instructions of applications stored in the memory 150 to perform various tasks for generating a kiosk setting service and / or a cheering stick pairing service environment.

[0129] In one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can control the overall operation of the components through applications in the memory 150 to provide kiosk setting services and / or support pole pairing services.

[0130] Such a processor assembly 160 may be a system-on-chip (SOC) suitable for the kiosk 100, including a central processing unit (CPU) and / or a graphics processing unit (GPU), and can execute an operating system (OS) (e.g., Windows, Linux, Android, IOS, etc.) and / or application programs stored in the memory 150, and can control each component installed in the kiosk 100.

[0131] In addition, the processor assembly 160 can internally communicate with each component through a system bus, and can include one or more predetermined bus structures such as a local bus.

[0132] In addition, the processor assembly 160 may be embodied to include at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0133] In one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can manage concert information associated with a seating library that is acquired in real time or pre-stored and presented at the slave kiosks.

[0134] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can manage certain server information from a list of servers to which it can connect.

[0135] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can manage current device settings. In detail, the current device settings can include functions for setting a division ID of the master kiosk, setting an administrator password, managing an NFC ID used by the administrator, and setting a base language of the master and / or slave kiosks.

[0136] Additionally, in an embodiment, the processor assembly 160 may manage certain publicity pop-ups that are output to the displays of the slave kiosks.

[0137] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can collect pairing data including the number of pairings performed at each slave kiosk, the time required, and the like, to generate and manage pairing statistics.

[0138] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can manage firmware to keep the support rods up to date.

[0139] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can set presets for changing the theme, design, and / or artist-specific design of the screen output on the display of the slave kiosk.

[0140] The above-mentioned functions are performed by the processor assembly 160 of the master kiosk, and a kiosk setting service can be provided to an administrator who wishes to set up various functions that are to be applied collectively to multiple slave kiosks installed at a concert venue.

[0141] The following is a function performed by the processor assembly 160 of the slave kiosk, which can provide a cheering stick pairing service to a specific user who uses the kiosk to watch a concert, by pairing the kiosk 100 with the user's cheering stick 200 and providing a seat library corresponding to the user's seat.

[0142] In one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can obtain user account information contained in an account authentication device.

[0143] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can detect advance ticket sales information that matches the acquired user account information.

[0144] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can extract seating information included in the detected advance ticket information.

[0145] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can determine a seat library responsive to the extracted seat information.

[0146] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can pair the cheering stick 200 that transmits the determined seat library.

[0147] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160 can transmit the determined seat library to the paired cheering pole 200.

[0148] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can further perform at least some of the functions and operations performed by the concert management server 300, which will be described later.

[0149] The kiosk 100 including the above-mentioned multiple components can be realized in terms of hardware as an integrated type or a separate type.

[0150] 4 to 6 are examples showing the shape of kiosks according to various embodiments of the present invention.

[0151] FIG. 4 shows an integrated type in which the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 are installed within the housing of the kiosk 100, FIG. 5 shows a separate type in which the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 are installed separately from the housing, and FIG. 6 shows a stand type including a predetermined structure on which a mobile computing device and a cheering stick 200 can be placed.

[0152] As shown in FIG. 4, according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the kiosk 100 is an integrated type, the kiosk 100 may include an account tag module 120 and a cheering stick pairing module 130 within a housing.

[0153] In this case, the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 can be installed in a position where the user can easily place the cheering stick 200 or tag the account authentication device.

[0154] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 may be installed on one side of the lower part of the display 143.

[0155] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the account tag module 120 can be installed on the exterior of the kiosk 100 in the form of a pad that can tag an account authentication device.

[0156] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the cheering stick pairing module 130 may be installed in a box shape having a space inside so that the cheering stick 200 can be accommodated and placed therein.

[0157] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the cheering stick pairing module 130 may include a predetermined stand 131 installed in the internal space to fix the cheering stick 200 housed therein, or may include a cover 132 to prevent the cheering stick 200 housed therein from coming off and to block transmission.

[0158] In addition, the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 may further include a first LED module 120-1 and a second LED module 130-1 that notify the multiple modules that a predetermined device (e.g., the cheering stick 200 and the account authentication device) has been successfully recognized.

[0159] In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can activate the first LED module 120-1 when the account authentication device is successfully recognized by the account tag module 120.

[0160] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the cheering stick 200 is normally recognized and placed on the cheering stick pairing module 130, the kiosk 100 can activate the second LED module 130-1.

[0161] Also, the second LED module 130-1 may be activated when predetermined data has been transmitted to the cheering stick 200. At this time, the cheering stick pairing module 130 may perform an operation of opening the cover 132 in order to provide the cheering stick 200 to the user at the same time as the second LED module 130-1 is activated.

[0162] Such an integrated type kiosk 100 does not require any additional devices other than the kiosk 100, which has the effect of increasing ease of installation.

[0163] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, in another embodiment, when the kiosk 100 is a separate type, the display 143, the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 can be installed separately from the housing H of the kiosk 100.

[0164] In this case, components of the kiosk 100 except for the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 may be disposed in the housing H.

[0165] In another embodiment, the kiosk 100 may further include a predetermined configuration (e.g., a support base 101 and a shelf 102) for individually installing the display 143, the account tag module 120, and the cheering stick pairing module 130.

[0166] In detail, in other embodiments, the kiosk 100 may further be provided with a support base 101 for fixing the display 143 at a predetermined height from the ground, and a shelf 102 for placing the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130.

[0167] A display 143 may be positioned on an upper portion of the support base 101, and a housing H may be positioned on one side of the support base 101.

[0168] Also, the shelf 102 may be included in one side of the support stand 101 as shown in FIG. 5, or may be separated from the support stand 101 and installed in the form of a desk, a stand, or the like.

[0169] In addition, the shelf 102 may have a horizontal structure with respect to the ground in order to maintain the fixed state of the account authentication device and the cheering stick 200 fixed to the account tag module 120 and the cheering stick pairing module 130 during pairing in progress.

[0170] Such a separate type kiosk 100 has the advantage that the user can operate the display 143 with the cheering stick 200 and the account authentication device placed therein, thereby increasing the convenience for the user in operating the device.

[0171] In the above-described embodiments including the integrated and / or separate type kiosks 100, the type is determined by the presence or absence of separation between the housing H of the kiosk 100 and a given component.

[0172] Hereinafter, the kiosk 100 may be used to refer to the housing H and a terminal that provides a seat library for a specific support pole, regardless of whether or not there is a separation between the housing H and a specific component, and a stand on which the terminal is placed.

[0173] Meanwhile, FIG. 6 shows an example of a stand-type kiosk with a cheering stick placed thereon according to still another embodiment of the present invention.

[0174] According to still another embodiment, when the kiosk 100 is a stand type, it may be embodied in the form of a stand on which a mobile type computing device is placed. In the following, for convenience of explanation, the mobile type computing device is embodied as a tablet, but is not limited to what is described above. In addition, the tablet may be referred to as a terminal 180 hereinafter.

[0175] Referring to FIG. 6, in yet another embodiment, the kiosk 100 may include a stand 170 that includes a terminal 180, a cheer wand holder 177, and a tagging portion 179.

[0176] At this time, the terminal 180 may be placed on one side of the stand 170, and the placed terminal 180 may be detachable. In addition, a support rod holder 177 having a structure in which a support rod 200 can be inserted may be provided on one side of the stand 170 .

[0177] At this time, the support rod holder 177 may include an insertion hole h1 and a first protrusion p1. The insertion hole h1 may be hollow and cylindrical so as to match the shape of a handle portion of the lower part of the support rod 200 to be inserted, and the first protrusion p1 may include the insertion hole h1 and have a structure protruding at a predetermined step.

[0178] In addition, a predetermined cylindrical layer for adjusting the diameter to fit the support rods 200 having different diameters may be inserted into the insertion hole h1.

[0179] In addition, the first protrusion p1 may protrude a predetermined length in an upward direction based on the first surface of the stand where the tagging portion 179 is located. In this case, the predetermined length may be a length that can stably fix the inserted support rod 200 (e.g., 1 / 3 or more of the handle length of the support rod 200).

[0180] In addition, a tagging unit 179, which is a predetermined area where a predetermined device can be placed, may be provided on one side of the stand 170. For example, the tagging unit 179 may be provided in a predetermined area different from an area where the support rod holder 177 is provided.

[0181] 6, a cheering stick pairing module 130 may be included on one inner side of the cheering stick holder 177, and an account tag module 120 may be included on one inner side of the tagging unit 179. Thus, in still another embodiment, the kiosk 100 may perform short-distance communication with the cheering stick 200 placed in the cheering stick holder 177 and / or the account authentication device tagged to the tagging unit 179.

[0182] That is, such a stand-type kiosk 100 can be installed together with a predetermined structure (e.g., a table, etc.) inside or near a concert venue, whereby at least one or more users can place their own cheering sticks in the cheering stick holder 177 and operate a terminal 180 placed in advance on the stand 170 to download a predetermined seat library to the cheering stick 200.

[0183] [Official Light Stick 200] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cheering stick 200 may be a predetermined device that emits light according to a seat library received from the kiosk 100 based on the cheering stick pairing service.

[0184] FIG. 7 is an internal block diagram of a support rod according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0190] In one embodiment of the present invention, the short-range communication unit 210 can receive at least one of user account information, user seat information, and a seat library from the kiosk 100 by short-range communication using Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0191] The information receiving unit 220 can receive information transmitted from the kiosk 100 and other devices in a broadcasting manner.

[0192] In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, the information receiving unit 220 can receive signals sent from the kiosk 100 and other devices without designating a recipient.

[0193] The light emitting unit 230 can emit light in response to a signal received from the information receiving unit 220 .

[0194] The light emitting unit 230 may include one or more light source elements, and the light source may be, for example, a light emitting diode (LED). The light emitting unit 230 may include LEDs of different colors, and may include at least one of a red LED, a green LED, a blue LED, and a white LED.

[0195] By mixing the light emitted by each of these LEDs, a wide range of hues can be produced, with the mixed color being determined based on the ratio of the intensities of the light emitted by each LED, which in turn can be proportional to the drive current of each LED.

[0196] Although the above description has been given using an LED as an example of the light source of the light emitting unit 230, the type of the light source is not limited to an LED. According to another embodiment, an organic light emitting diode (OLED) may be used as the light source.

[0197] The storage unit 240 may store at least one of various application programs, applications, data, and commands for providing a support stick pairing service environment.

[0199] In an embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit 240 may previously store information required for the cheering stick 200 to perform the light emitting function.

[0200] For example, the storage unit 240 can store the light emission pattern data in advance.

[0201] The lighting pattern data refers to data including values ​​corresponding to each lighting pattern setting value defined in the embodiment to express each of all hues and brightnesses that the cheering stick can realize. For example, the lighting pattern data may include a plurality of data having values ​​of (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (0,0,2)...(n,n,n) in terms of hue. Also, the lighting pattern data may include a plurality of data having values ​​of 0,1,2...n in terms of brightness.

[0202] That is, the storage unit 240 can store such lighting pattern data in advance, whereby the user can passively set the lighting, hue, brightness and lighting effect of the cheering stick 200, regardless of whether or not a seat library is stored.

[0203] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit 240 can store information required to perform the cheering stick pairing service.

[0204] For example, the storage unit 240 can store a seat library. At this time, the seat library can be received from another device and stored in the storage unit 240.

[0205] The processor 250 performs general operations such as power supply control of the support rod 200, and a data processing function for controlling signal flow between internal components of the support rod 200 and processing data. The processor 250 may include at least one processor.

[0206] In addition, the processor 250 can communicate with each component internally via a system bus, and can include one or more predetermined bus structures such as a local bus.

[0207] In addition, the processor 250 may be embodied as at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0208] In the embodiment, the processor 250 can control the light emission pattern of the light output from the light emitting unit 230 by controlling the drive current of each LED of the light emitting unit 230.

[0209] Thus, in the embodiment, the processor 250 can control the cheering stick 200 including a plurality of LEDs to generate a predetermined phrase, image, video, or the like.

[0210] The short-range communication unit 210 and the information receiving unit 220 may be functional components shown separately in order to distinguish at least some functions of the processor 250 from the general functions of the processor 250.

[0211] The cheering stick 200 having the above-mentioned configuration can operate according to at least one piece of data stored in the storage unit 240 under the control of the processor 250, and as a plurality of users gather at a concert venue, a plurality of such cheering sticks 200 can be lined up, and a concert performance can be performed in which a predetermined phrase, image, video, etc. is formed using the cheering sticks 200.

[0212] [Concert Management Server 300 (Performance Management Server)] Meanwhile, the concert management server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform a series of processes for providing a kiosk setting service and / or a cheering stick pairing service.

[0213] In one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 is a central management device that controls the master kiosk and / or the slave kiosks, and can be embodied by a specific computing device.

[0214] In detail, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can provide the kiosk setting service and / or the cheering rod pairing service by exchanging data with an external device, such as the kiosk 100, necessary to drive the kiosk setting process and / or the cheering rod pairing process in the external device.

[0215] More specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can provide an environment in which multiple applications installed on multiple devices can operate, providing kiosk setting services in external devices.

[0216] For this purpose, the concert management server 300 may include application programs, data and / or commands for applications to operate, and may transmit and receive data based on the application programs and commands to and from the external device.

[0217] In detail, the concert management server 300 can provide a kiosk setting service and / or a cheering stick pairing service based on a kiosk setting program for setting up a master kiosk and a cheering stick pairing program for providing a cheering stick pairing service at a slave kiosk.

[0219] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can transmit concert information to the kiosk 100 .

[0220] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can comprehensively control at least one or more kiosks connected thereto.

[0221] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can acquire certain data collected in response to pairing performed at at least one or more kiosks.

[0222] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can communicate with an external server (eg, a ticket sales server) to obtain at least one piece of ticket advance sale information.

[0223] In this case, the advance ticket information may include the name of the person reserving the tickets, date of birth, ticket site ID, mobile phone number, concert name, concert date and time, concert venue name, reservation number, number of advance tickets, and seating information.

[0224] In addition, in an embodiment, the concert management server 300 may provide ticket advance sale information that matches the user account information among the at least one acquired ticket advance sale information to an external device (such as the kiosk 100 in one embodiment of the present invention).

[0225] In this case, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 may determine whether the ticket advance information and the user account information match based on the mobile phone number, which is information that each piece of information has in common. This is merely an example, and various embodiments may be implemented to determine whether the information matches based on other user personal information other than the mobile phone number.

[0226] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can extract seating information from the matched ticket advance sale information.

[0227] At this time, in one embodiment of the present invention, the seat information is information that serves as a basis for classifying the cheering data 1000 by seat, and in an embodiment, the concert management server 300 can match such seat information with the cheering data 1000 to generate multiple seat libraries.

[0228] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the seat information may include at least one of a seat number and a pixel number.

[0229] In one embodiment of the present invention, when seat information is displayed to the user, it is displayed as the seat number used in the actual concert venue, for example, in the form of "3rd floor, 12th section, row A, number 1." However, in devices that produce lighting patterns, it can be displayed as pixel numbers based on a seating layout for convenience of production.

[0230] In other words, when cheering data created using pixel numbers on the director's device is generated in the seat library in the concert management server 300, the pixel numbers can be converted to seat numbers, and therefore each pixel number and seat number can correspond to each other in advance.

[0231] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can store and manage a plurality of seat libraries, which are generated according to seat information, in the database 330 in advance.

[0232] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 can provide a seat library generated corresponding to the extracted seat information to an external device (in an embodiment, the cheering stick 200 and the account authentication device, etc.).

[0233] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 may store and manage various application programs, commands, and / or data for implementing a kiosk setting service and / or a cheering stick pairing service.

[0234] Meanwhile, referring further to FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, the concert management server 300 as described above may be embodied by a predetermined computing device including at least one processor module 310 for data processing, at least one communication module 320 for data exchange with external devices, and at least one memory module 330 for storing various application programs, data and / or commands for providing the library pairing service.

[0236] Furthermore, the database 330 may include a program area and a data area.

[0237] Here, the program area according to one embodiment of the present invention can be linked between an operating system (OS) that boots the server and functional elements, and the data area can store data generated by the use of the server.

[0238] In one embodiment of the present invention, the database 330 may be a variety of storage devices such as ROM, RAM, EPROM, flash drive, hard drive, etc., or may be a web storage that performs the storage function of the database 330 on the Internet.

[0239] Furthermore, the database 330 may be a removable recording medium on the server.

[0240] Meanwhile, the processor module 310 can control the overall operation of each of the above-mentioned units to implement the library pairing service.

[0241] Such a processor module 310 may be a system-on-chip (SOC) suitable for a server including a central processing unit (CPU) and / or a graphics processing unit (GPU), and can execute an operating system (OS) and / or application programs stored in the database 330 and control each component installed in the server.

[0242] In addition, the processor module 310 can internally communicate with each component via a system bus, and can include one or more predetermined bus structures such as a local bus.

[0243] In addition, the processor module 310 may be embodied using at least one of application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), controllers, micro-controllers, microprocessors, and other electrical units for performing functions.

[0244] In the above description, it has been described that the concert management server 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention performs the functional operations described above. However, various embodiments are possible, such as at least a portion of the functional operations performed in the concert management server 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention being performed in an external device (e.g., kiosk 100, etc.), and at least a portion of the functional operations performed in the external device being further performed in the concert management server 300.

[0245] [How to set up a kiosk for the Master Kiosk Support Stick Pairing Service] Hereinafter, a method for setting up a master kiosk for a support stick pairing service provided in a slave kiosk by a processor assembly 160 including at least one processor of a kiosk 100 (in an embodiment, a master kiosk) according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached Figures 8 to 11.

[0246] In one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160, which includes at least one processor of the kiosk 100, can execute at least one program and / or application stored in at least one memory 150 or can operate in the background.

[0247] Hereinafter, it will be briefly described that the processor assembly 160 operates to execute commands of the kiosk 100 to perform the kiosk setting method for the support stick pairing service described above.

[0248] FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a kiosk setting method for a cheering stick pairing service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0249] Referring to FIG. 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 can determine a connection mode (S101).

[0250] In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can determine a connection mode, such as an online connection mode and / or an offline connection mode.

[0251] 9a and 9b are diagrams illustrating connection modes according to an embodiment of the present invention, in particular, FIG 9a is an example illustrating an online connection mode, and FIG 9b is an example illustrating an offline connection mode.

[0252] Referring to FIG. 9a, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can determine the online connection mode when real-time communication is possible because the Internet environment at the concert venue is reliable and an Internet connection with the concert management server 300 and the master kiosk 100M is always available at the venue.

[0253] To this end, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can connect to the concert management server 300 via a predetermined access process. Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can receive concert information that is pre-stored in the concert management server 300 or that is generated in real-time.

[0254] Here, the concert information according to an embodiment of the present invention may include all information required to perform a kiosk setting service and / or a cheering stick pairing service for a concert.

[0255] In detail, the concert information may include connection server information, device setting information, pop-up information, pairing statistics information, firmware information, and / or preset information for the kiosk setting service. Also, the concert information may further include concert preparation information including concert name, artist name, concert time, concert venue name, cheering data (in detail, at least one or more seat libraries) for a concert corresponding to a seat library provided as a cheering stick for the cheering stick pairing service, user account information for identifying a user, advance ticket information, and / or seat information.

[0256] Hereinafter, the cheering stick pairing service may be used to collectively refer to the kiosk setting service and the cheering stick pairing service.

[0257] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the online connection mode is determined, the master kiosk can perform a hotspot function.

[0258] At this time, at least one of the slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 can receive predetermined information including the concert information from the concert management server 300 via the master kiosk 100M in an indirect communication manner rather than a direct communication manner.

[0259] In addition, the master kiosk 100M can receive predetermined information generated from the slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 and transmit the information to the concert management server 300.

[0260] Also, referring to FIG. 9b, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can determine the offline connection mode when the Internet environment at the concert venue is unstable and an Internet connection to the concert management server 300 and the master kiosk 100M at the venue is not possible.

[0261] For this purpose, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can obtain the latest version of concert information in advance from the concert management server 300 in an area where the Internet environment is reliable, and store the information in the memory 150 in advance.

[0262] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the offline connection mode is determined, the master kiosk 100M cannot communicate with the concert management server 300 in real time, but can form an independent wireless network with each of the multiple slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 as an AP.

[0263] In particular, the master kiosk 100M can also communicate in an offline connection mode with each of the multiple slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, 100S-4 based on a wireless network including a WIFI connection and / or a Bluetooth connection.

[0264] At this time, at least one of the slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 can indirectly receive predetermined information including the latest version of concert information from the master kiosk 100M.

[0265] Also, when the wireless network (e.g., WIFI and / or Bluetooth) between the master kiosk 100M and the slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 is not smooth, each slave kiosk can store pairing information by itself. Also, in one embodiment of the present invention, the slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 can retransmit the stored pairing information to the master kiosk 100M when the wireless network becomes smooth.

[0266] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can acquire concert information through a route according to the determined connection mode (S103).

[0267] In detail, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the online connection mode is determined, the kiosk 100 obtains concert information generated in real time from the concert management server 300, and when the offline connection mode is determined, the kiosk 100 obtains concert information pre-stored in the memory 150.

[0268] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 can match the acquired concert information to the kiosk ID of a corresponding master kiosk.

[0269] In one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may also obtain concert information from the concert management server 300 and / or a predetermined concert manager device.

[0270] Here, the concert manager device is a device capable of independently setting a plurality of pieces of information included in the concert preparation information, and may be, for example, a mobile type and / or a desktop type computing device.

[0271] In one embodiment of the present invention, such concert manager devices can send the most recent version of the concert information to the master kiosk and / or concert management server 300 .

[0272] The reason why the concert manager device can transmit concert information to the master kiosk and / or concert management server 300 is that even if detailed information related to a concert is suddenly changed, such as a change in the concert venue, concert production, or concert table of contents, the concert manager device can independently set only the necessary parts and transmit the concert information without modifying the entire concert information, thereby enabling an immediate response and dramatically increasing efficiency and convenience in concert management.

[0273] Such concert manager devices can generate and send the latest version of the concert information indirectly to the concert management server 300 or directly to the master kiosk.

[0274] To this end, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may be connected to the concert manager device via wired and / or wireless (eg, wifi and / or Bluetooth connections).

[0275] Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can obtain concert information from the concert manager device and store it in the memory 150 .

[0276] That is, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can receive and store concert information for at least one concert from the concert manager device and / or the concert management server 300 according to a route corresponding to the determined connection mode.

[0277] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can provide a kiosk setting service for setting the acquired concert information (S105).

[0278] For this purpose, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may provide a first kiosk setting interface and a second kiosk setting interface. Here, the setting according to an embodiment of the present invention refers to a process of setting, in the master kiosk, information provided to a user who uses the slave kiosk when a cheering stick pairing service is provided in the slave kiosk and contents to be output on the kiosk screen, and applying the information to at least one slave kiosk connected to the master kiosk.

[0279] Also, in one embodiment of the present invention, the setting may be performed based on a first kiosk setting interface for setting concert information (connection server information, device setting information, popup information, pairing statistics information, firmware information, and preset information in one embodiment of the present invention) excluding concert preparation information and / or a second kiosk setting interface for setting concert preparation information. The second kiosk setting interface may include a function for changing a value set via the first kiosk setting interface.

[0296] In one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can manage connection server information based on an administrator UI 2000 that includes a first kiosk setting interface.

[0297] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, if the determined connection mode is an online connection mode, the kiosk 100 may display a list of the concert management server 300 and / or external servers that can be communicated with. In an embodiment, the kiosk 100 may communicate with at least one server determined based on a predetermined user input.

[0298] In one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can manage device configuration information based on an administrator UI 2000 that includes a first kiosk setting interface.

[0299] In addition, in an embodiment, the kiosk 100 can manage (add, delete, and / or modify) the administrator password, kiosk ID, and administrator NFC ID of the corresponding master kiosk.

[0300] In this case, the administrator NFC ID can be added by reading the administrator device tagged based on the account tag module 120 of the kiosk 100 .

[0301] In one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can manage the pop-up information based on the administrator UI 2000, which includes a first kiosk setting interface.

[0302] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 can manage (add, delete, modify and / or activate) pop-up information including predetermined public information to be displayed on at least one slave kiosk.

[0303] In this case, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may determine a language to be applied to the pop-up information. Also, in an embodiment, when two or more pop-ups are activated on the same screen, the kiosk 100 may display the earliest pop-up first, and the most recently added pop-up may be displayed thereafter.

[0304] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can set the popup title, popup content, popup design, and / or popup exposure position included in the popup information.

[0305] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can generate pairing statistics and manage the pairing statistics based on an administrator UI 2000 that includes a first kiosk setting interface.

[0306] In this case, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may generate the pairing statistics information based on pairing information acquired from at least one slave kiosk, which will be described in detail later.

[0307] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can manage firmware information based on an administrator UI 2000 that includes a first kiosk setting interface.

[0308] In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 generates a firmware list including a serial number, a CID, an AID, a DID, and firmware version information, and can manage (add, delete, modify and / or activate) at least one firmware.

[0309] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can manage preset information based on an administrator UI 2000 that includes a first kiosk setting interface.

[0310] In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can set the background color, button color, font, font color, and / or artist logo image that constitute the content to be exposed on the display when the slave kiosk provides the cheering stick pairing service.

[0311] Such preset information may include the artist's signature logo, theme, font, color, etc., and may be stored for each artist.

[0312] The preset information stored for each artist can be reused when the same artist has a concert later, improving the work efficiency of the preset operator, and at the same time, the same preset is output to the slave kiosk screen no matter when and where the artist has a concert. Therefore, from the standpoint of the user (fan) who uses the slave kiosk screen to pair a cheering stick, it is possible to reconfirm the information of the artist he or she is trying to pair with, and the unified design gives a sense of stability.

[0313] Through the above steps, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the kiosk 100 completes the basic setting and additional setting processes via the first and second kiosk setting interfaces, the set concert information can be sent to at least one or more connected kiosks (S107).

[0314] In this case, the at least one connected kiosks may be slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4.

[0315] Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one slave kiosk 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, 100S-4 can receive the set concert information and provide a cheering stick pairing service to a user (specifically, a fan who wishes to download a seat library) based on the set concert information.

[0316] In addition, in the embodiment, when the provision of the cheering stick pairing service is completed, the at least one slave kiosk 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 can transmit pairing information to the master kiosk 100M.

[0317] Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 can generate pairing statistics based on pairing information received from at least one of slave kiosks 100S-1, 100S-2, 100S-3, and 100S-4 (S109).

[0318] Additionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can generate pairing statistics and manage the pairing statistics based on the administrator UI 2000.

[0319] FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of an administrator UI exposing pairing statistics information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0320] Referring to FIG. 11, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 can query pairing information obtained from at least one slave kiosk.

[0321] In this case, the pairing information may include log information stored at the time of transmitting the seat library from the slave kiosk to the cheering pole. In an embodiment, the log information may include UTC, local time, concert name, artist name, concert date and time, concert venue name, and / or storage date and time.

[0322] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can set a predetermined condition to filter out only pairing information that is to be a statistical target from among the pairing information queried.

[0323] For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can filter pairing information by setting the date for which statistics are to be collected as the first condition 2100 .

[0324] Also, for example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can set concert preparation information for which statistics are to be collected as the second condition 2200 to filter the pairing information.

[0325] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may provide a pairing statistics list and / or a pairing statistics graph in which the filtered pairing information is sorted according to the number of transmissions per time period.

[0326] For example, the rows of the pairing statistics graph 2300 may be time and the columns may be number of transmissions.

[0327] In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can separately download at least one piece of acquired pairing information or initialize log information included in the acquired predetermined pairing information.

[0328] [How the Set-up Slave Kiosk provides a support stick pairing service] Hereinafter, a method in which a processor assembly 160 including at least one processor of a kiosk 100 (a slave kiosk in one embodiment of the present invention) set up according to one embodiment of the present invention provides a support stick pairing service will be described in detail with reference to attached Figures 12 and 13.

[0329] In one embodiment of the present invention, the processor assembly 160, which includes at least one processor of the kiosk 100, can execute at least one program and / or application stored in at least one memory 150 or can operate in the background.

[0330] Hereinafter, it will be briefly described that the processor assembly 160 operates to execute commands of the kiosk 100 to perform the kiosk setting method for the support stick pairing service described above.

[0331] FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing a support stick pairing service by a kiosk set up according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0332] Referring to FIG. 12, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 may receive concert information from a master kiosk (S301).

[0333] In detail, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the kiosk 100 is in an online connection mode, it can receive concert information that the master kiosk has received in real time from the concert management server 300 via the master kiosk, or when the kiosk is in an offline connection mode, it can receive concert information that the master kiosk has received from the concert management server 300 and pre-stored in memory 150 via the master kiosk.

[0334] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, kiosk 100 can detect new concert information based on the received concert information (S303).

[0335] To this end, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can compare the received concert information with concert information previously stored in the memory 150 of the existing kiosk 100. Here, the received concert information can be the same concept as the setting information received from the master kiosk.

[0336] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can detect information from the received concert information excluding at least one piece of information that is the same as at least one piece of information included in the pre-stored concert information (hereinafter, new concert information).

[0337] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the new concert information may be at least one of concert preparation information, connection server information, device setting information, popup information, pairing statistics information, firmware information, and / or preset information.

[0338] For example, if the received concert information is the same as the concert information and preset information previously stored in the memory 150 of the existing kiosk 100, but the concert preparation information is different, the kiosk 100 can detect the concert preparation information as new concert information.

[0339] As a result, the predetermined setting values ​​of the kiosk set when the cheering stick pairing service is provided can be generated and set once and used multiple times as the concert progresses, and only the information that needs to be modified can be modified and updated, which has the effect of greatly increasing the utility of the concert information generation work.

[0340] In another embodiment, the kiosk 100 may obtain only new concert information from the master kiosk that is not stored in the slave kiosk's memory.

[0341] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can update existing concert information with the detected new concert information (S305).

[0342] In another embodiment, the kiosk 100 can obtain only new concert information from the master kiosk and immediately update to the obtained new concert information without performing the above-mentioned detection step (S303).

[0343] This allows only the information that needs to be corrected to be acquired and updated, thereby reducing the amount of data transmitted between the master kiosk and the slave kiosk, thereby increasing work efficiency and reducing the possibility of errors.

[0344] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can provide a cheering stick pairing service based on updated new concert information (S307).

[0345] In an embodiment, the kiosk 100 may provide a cheering stick pairing service to which new concert information updated based on a user UI is applied.

[0346] 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a user UI in which a cheering stick pairing service is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the user UI may be output on a display of a slave kiosk in which the cheering stick pairing service is provided.

[0347] Referring to FIG. 13, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can output first to fourth contents 3010, 3020, 3030, and 3040 to a display based on a user UI 3000.

[0348] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first to fourth contents 3010, 3020, 3030, and 3040 may be at least one of an image, a video, and / or a text. The first to fourth contents 3010, 3020, 3030, and 3040 shown in the drawings are merely examples, and the format, color, size, output method, and the like are not limited to those shown.

[0349] For example, the first content 3010 may be an image including concert preparation information to which a preset set in the master kiosk is applied.

[0350] This has the effect of allowing the user to reconfirm detailed information about the concert corresponding to the seat library that the user wishes to download to his / her cheering pole.

[0351] Also, for example, the second content 3020 may include predetermined text to which a preset set in the master kiosk has been applied.

[0352] In this case, the predetermined text may include content necessary for providing the cheering stick pairing service, such as content to be notified to the user and / or content to guide the user's actions.

[0353] Also, for example, the third content 3030 may be an image including a language setting to which a preset set in the master kiosk is applied, and in this case, the third content 3030 may be a button for changing language information and / or presets according to a user selection.

[0354] Also, for example, the fourth content 3040 may include a predetermined artist logo image to which a preset set in the master kiosk has been applied.

[0355] Such artist logo image can be continuously displayed on the display while the cheering stick pairing service is being provided.

[0356] Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can provide a cheering stick pairing service to which updated new concert information is applied to a user (specifically, a fan) by outputting at least one content included in a user UI.

[0357] Thus, a user (specifically, a fan) who wishes to download a seat library can pair the cheering stick he / she owns with the kiosk 100 (as an embodiment of the present invention, a slave kiosk) based on the provided cheering stick pairing service and download a seat library that matches his / her seat. To this end, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 can detect a seat library that matches the seat in the concert hall where the user is seated and transmit it to the paired cheering stick.

[0358] At this time, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may generate and store pairing information each time a support stick is paired and completes transmitting the seat library to the support stick (S309).

[0359] Here, the pairing information according to an embodiment of the present invention may include detailed information on pairing performed at a corresponding slave kiosk, such as the pairing speed per pairing, log information of the corresponding pairing, and / or the total number of pairings performed at the corresponding kiosk.

[0360] In this case, the log information may be stored at the time the seat library is sent from the slave kiosk to the cheering pole, and may include UTC, local time, concert name, artist name, concert date and time, concert venue name, and / or storage date and time.

[0361] In addition, the pairing speed and log information of the pairing may be stored every time pairing is performed.

[0362] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may generate and store pairing information including detailed information on all pairings performed at the corresponding slave kiosk after the end of the concert in which the cheering stick pairing service ended.

[0363] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the kiosk 100 may transmit the generated pairing information to a master kiosk (S311).

[0364] In this case, the master kiosk that receives the pairing information may consolidate the pairing information generated in at least one connected slave kiosk, where the number of the generated pairing information may correspond to the number of connected slave kiosks.

[0365] The master kiosk can also transmit the aggregated pairing information to the concert management server 300 .

[0366] As a result, the concert management server 300, which receives aggregated pairing information from multiple master kiosks, can generate pairing statistical information based on the aggregated pairing information and re-transmit the generated pairing statistical information to each master kiosk.

[0367] In another embodiment, the master kiosk may collect pairing information generated by at least one or more slave kiosks connected thereto and generate pairing statistics information by itself.

[0368] As a result, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the current operation (specifically, pairing) status of multiple slave kiosks connected to the master kiosk can be grasped in real time and immediate response can be made, which has the effect of improving the ability to respond to risks such as equipment / program failure. Also, since the process of extracting pairing information and manually compiling it at each slave kiosk after the concert is over can be omitted, the effect of increasing human / resource efficiency can be achieved.

[0369] As described above, the kiosk setting method and system for the cheering stick pairing service according to one embodiment of the present invention provides a central management device capable of integrated control of multiple kiosks regardless of the network environment, thereby allowing the cheering stick pairing service to be used even in areas with poor network environments, thereby eliminating regional limitations of concert venues and quickly responding to changes in concert information, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of dealing with errors and change issues.

[0370] In addition, the kiosk setting method and system for the cheering stick pairing service according to an embodiment of the present invention is capable of immediately taking measures to discontinue or encourage use of kiosks where pairing is relatively excessive or infrequent by grasping the current operating status of all connected kiosks in real time, thereby maximizing time and procedural efficiency in distributing kiosk users and providing the pairing service.

[0371] In addition, the method and system for setting up a kiosk for a cheering stick pairing service according to an embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of reducing the time, procedure, and manpower waste involved in compiling information by compiling pairing information and generating statistical data, thereby enabling quick decision-making support for concerts.

[0372] The above-described embodiment of the present invention may be embodied in the form of program instructions that can be executed by various computer components and recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, either alone or in combination.
