Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a meta-spatial access gate generation device and method, and a meta-spatial access gate connection device that provide for the public disclosure of content at a specific location without collecting the location information of a user terminal, including a location information value requested by the user regardless of the actual location of the terminal when uploading content to content shared on a network.

Background Art

[0002] The World Wide Web (WWW), called Web 1.0, was developed by Tim Berners-Lee of CERN from 1989 to 1991, became a synonym for the Internet, started with the development and distribution of web browsers, and grew with the development and competition of web browsers.

[0003] However, the initial Web 1.0 is a one-way information reception by users like newspapers and broadcasts. With the activation of social network services (SNS) such as blogs, Twitter (registered trademark), Facebook, and Instagram, users can freely create posts according to their interests and share them online.

[0004] In this way, the Web 2.0 era emphasized the social connectivity in which citizens actively participated in creating and sharing information, characterized by participation, sharing, and openness. Recently, it has entered the Web 3.0 era, which is an Internet environment that has further evolved.

[0005] Web 3.0 has evolved into a personalized and intelligent web, developed and utilized in the direction of allowing users to judge and infer everything, and when providing data to users, it means being served centered on the substantial meaning of the data for the efficient use of the data rather than the data itself.

[0006] This deviates from simply passively accepting information measured or judged by others, meaning that the individual's spontaneous decision-making becomes the center of network operation. Taking the Internet advertising industry as an example, the existing method was that the advertiser who wanted to publish Internet advertising unilaterally published the advertiser's advertisement to the terminal of the user in the desired position. In contrast, the method based on Web 3.0 is a concept that opposes this, and it is to enable users to directly determine the decision-making power for the distribution of advertising information to a large number of terminals.

[0007] As part of this, recently, Apple in the United States implemented an opt-in mechanism as part of the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework for apps on iOS.

[0008] Previously, usually, browsers, apps, etc. identified the location of the client terminal to track personal information, and a service method was applied in which the advertiser unilaterally sent the advertiser's advertisement to the client terminal that met the conditions desired by the advertiser (for example, location, age of the target to be exposed, etc.). For example, advertisements related to products or brands that the user has searched for once through a website may appear on the terminal, or information about products in an apparel store that the user has visited for a while may suddenly be received via text message. These are cases where the operator implementing the website or app automatically acquires personal information such as the location information of the user terminal to provide services.

[0009] By the way, the ATT (AppTrackingTransparency) - based service method is basically for protecting users' personal information. The function of transmitting information (such as advertisements) about users is activated only when the user explicitly permits access rights to a website or an app. Therefore, a website or an app first asks the user, "Do you permit your activities to be tracked on the app or website?" and provides services only to users who have given their consent. However, currently, the proportion of users who choose to opt - in through this function is very low.

[0010] On the other hand, in the current network environment, when users generate content to publish it on the network, even if they save arbitrary location information together regardless of the actual location of the terminal where the content is saved, there is a problem that information regarding the radius or height formed around the corresponding location cannot be saved or effectively used at once.

[0011] This problem occurs because without using the radius or height together with the location information, any two - dimensional or three - dimensional space cannot be identified. This is not a problem when the user publishes content only at one location, but it must be solved when the user tries to publish content at a specific location within the space defined by the distance reaching the radius formed from the location or within the space defined by the height from the location within the space defined by the radius formed from the location.

[0012] More specifically, in the case of content that includes information about the radius together with the location information, a two - dimensional space corresponding to the distance reaching the radius can be identified with the location corresponding to the location information as the center. In the case of content that includes information about the radius and height together with the location information, a three - dimensional space up to the height can be identified with the location of the two - dimensional space corresponding to the distance reaching the radius with the location corresponding to the location information as the center. However, in the case of content where the radius or height cannot be used, there is a problem that it cannot be done at all.

[0013] As another problem, while publishing content at a specific position in a specific space that a user wants to expose, it is an even more difficult problem to publish the same content only at very specific periods or points in time, such as a certain point in the past, a certain period in the past, the present, a certain point in the future, or a certain period in the future.

[0014] Another problem is that when users save content for publishing on the network and save location information together, if the form of the saved location information is in the form of an address written in different natural languages for each language, the server has to separately identify different natural languages for each language with artificial intelligence and then additionally derive very specific latitude information and longitude information. Therefore, for information such as a website or application or Internet advertisement or direct message where many such routines are provided, there is a problem of causing an overall loss of network resources and a decrease in speed due to natural language analysis. To solve such problems, it is required that an accurate standard can be specified for specific location information and that it includes rules that are globally common and unchanging for specific location information. Also, in terms of the fact that specific location information written in natural language occupies more network resources as the amount increases, a technology for integrating and saving specific location information as latitude information and longitude information is needed to supplement these limitations.

[0015] On the other hand, the reason for requiring a technology to set a limit on the capacity (e.g., the number of bytes) is that when the server processes a large number of location information written in natural languages, the amount of network resources consumed for directly identifying latitude information and longitude information is much less than the amount of network resources consumed by artificial intelligence for analyzing different natural languages for each language.

[0016] On the one hand, from an industrial perspective on information circulation, taking the purchase probability of consumers by the existing methods in the Internet advertising industry as an example, out of two users who attempt to purchase Korean products on the Internet, one can search for the corresponding products in the United States, and the other can search in Korea. From the perspective of the seller, while advertising is exposed with advertising expenses, even for Korean products, it is impossible to accurately predict which country's users will purchase the goods among the two users. As a result, advertising has to be executed according to probability, and the associated expenses have to be incurred.

[0017] In this way, due to the restricted information circulation method and the fact that information had to be provided to purchasers accordingly, advertising expenses were ultimately incurred based on probability, but there is a problem that the loss of expenses has to be tolerated for this reason.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0019] Therefore, the present invention was invented to solve the above problems. The invention adds the position information value required by the user to the meta spatio-temporal information of the post to be shared, that is, the content to be shared, so that the content can be publicly available at the position desired by the user without collecting the position information of the user terminal. The object is to provide a meta spatio-temporal access gate generation device and method, and a meta spatio-temporal access gate connection device.

[0020] Another object of the present invention is to allow users to freely add and expose the position information they desire without limitation on the number of position information, even for posts (contents) to which position information cannot be added, so that the position information desired by the users is left on the Internet and the contents can be accessed or searched.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide position information including not only a specific position desired by users as a position information value, but also position information within a space specified by a distance reaching a radius formed from the corresponding position, and position information within a space specified from a predetermined height to the position of the corresponding space, so that the content can be publicly available in a specific space at a specific position and more specifically at a specific position. This is to eliminate concerns that may be nuisance information to a certain user.

[0022] Another object of the present invention is to provide, by including time information related to the time point or period when sharing target content is made public at a specific position desired by users, so that the content is exposed at the time point desired by the user at the position desired by the user.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0023] Therefore, a meta spatio-temporal access gate generation device including position information values required by a user according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a network connection information receiving unit that receives, from a user, network connection information for accessing shared target content posted on the Internet or uploaded to a specific website; an address input unit into which an address or postal code of a position where the shared target content is shared is input; and a meta spatio-temporal access gate generation unit that acquires latitude information and longitude information of a position corresponding to the address or postal code input from the address input unit, and generates meta spatio-temporal access gate information for the shared target content by including the acquired latitude information and longitude information together with the network connection information.

[0024] Furthermore, a meta-spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a latitude and longitude DB in which latitude information and longitude information of a position corresponding to an address or a postal code are stored; a meta-spatial information DB for storing meta-spatial access gate information for each content generated via the meta-spatial access gate generation unit. The meta-spatial access gate generation unit queries the data stored in the latitude and longitude DB, obtains the latitude information and longitude information of the position corresponding to the address or postal code input via the address input unit, and when storing the meta-spatial access gate information in the meta-spatial information DB, stores it in a manner that matches the identification information that can identify the user or the content.

[0025] The address input unit of the meta-spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention can search for the shared position on an electronic map in association with the electronic map and input the address of the corresponding position.

[0026] In the meta-spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the network connection information is the web page address or the server address where the shared target content is posted or uploaded, and the web page address or server address can be a URL address, an IP address, or source code including any one of these.

[0027] The meta-spatial access gate generation unit of the meta-spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention can generate meta-spatial access gate information for the shared target content, further including the address information of the position that matches the latitude information and longitude information.

[0028] Also, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit of the meta-spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention can generate meta-spatial access gate information for the shared target content, further including the postal code of the position that matches the latitude information and longitude information.

[0029] In addition, the meta spatial access gate generation unit of the meta spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention can further include position information in a spatial region specified by a height set from a position matching the latitude information and the longitude information, and generate meta spatial access gate information for the content to be shared. At this time, the space specified by the height includes any one of the number of floors of an arbitrary building, the height from sea level, and the height from the ground surface, and can be specified by specifying one floor number or height, or setting a range of floor numbers (~ floor to ~ floor) or a range of heights (~ height to ~ height).

[0030] In addition, the meta spatial access gate generation unit of the meta spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention can further include time information including the time point or period when the content to be shared is published at a position matching the latitude information and the longitude information, and generate meta spatial access gate information for the content to be shared.

[0031] In addition, the meta spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention can further include a distance radius setting unit that provides a user interface (UI) operation screen for setting a spatial region defined as the distance up to the radius from a position matching the latitude information and the longitude information. At this time, the meta spatial access gate generation unit can further include the radius distance information set via the distance radius setting unit, and generate meta spatial access gate information for the content to be shared.

[0032] In addition, the meta spatial access gate generation unit groups the latitude information and longitude information of the spatial positions defined by the radius distance set via the distance radius setting unit with the position corresponding to the latitude information and longitude information as the center, assigns a set ID to the grouped latitude information and longitude information, and can generate the meta spatial access gate information including only the set ID.

[0033] In addition, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit directly includes the latitude and longitude information at the position that is the center of the radius as representative information in the meta-spatial access gate information, and for the latitude and longitude information at the spatial position defined by the radius distance, a set ID can be assigned to generate the meta-spatial access gate information.

[0034] On the other hand, a meta-spatial access gate connection device according to another embodiment of the present invention receives search information including one or more of an address or a postal code as position information to be searched, identifies the latitude information and longitude information of the position corresponding to the input search information, searches for meta-spatial access gate information matched to the identified latitude information and longitude information, and includes means for providing connection through the Internet using the network connection information included in the searched meta-spatial access gate information.

[0035] On the other hand, a meta-spatial access gate generation method according to another embodiment of the present invention is a method in a meta-spatial access gate generation device including position information values requested by a user, and includes: a step in which the generation device receives, from the user, network connection information that can access shared target content posted on the Internet or uploaded to a specific website; a step in which the generation device receives an input of an address or a postal code of the position where the shared target content is shared; a step in which the generation device detects latitude information and longitude information of the position corresponding to the input address or postal code; and a step in which the generation device generates meta-spatial access gate information for the shared target content by including the detected latitude information and longitude information together with the network connection information.

Advantages of the Invention

[0036] According to such an invention, even without collecting the location information of the user terminal, there is an effect that the content desired by the user can be published at a specific location requested by the user. In particular, the present invention not only includes the location information corresponding to a specific location desired by the user, but also shares on the Internet one or more of the location information of the space formed by an arbitrary radius from a specific location, or the location information specified by a three-dimensional height at the location of the corresponding space. Through this, there is an effect that highly accurate location-based content can be published.

[0037] Also, according to the present invention, when there are multiple time information for the content including the location information corresponding to one location, there is also an effect that the same content can be published at different periods or different time points corresponding to the multiple time information. This provides an effect of enabling a large number of positions to coexist depending on the period or time point even at one location, so that content can also be published for a large number of positions that coexist in such a case.

[0038] Furthermore, if users on the network set the location they want to share on the map and related devices in relation to a specific space, or regardless of the location of the space, in relation to the content they want to share, such as what is happening currently, thoughts about the past or future, or ideas, etc., there is an effect that the thoughts and the like of other users in the same space can be shared without collecting the location information of the users.

[0039] Moreover, according to the present invention, even for posts on sites or apps where location information cannot be added, the user can freely add location information corresponding to the desired location information and the space specified by the distance reaching any radius from the desired location, or height location information specified by the height set from the location of the corresponding space, or the public location information of the content according to the period or time point. For example, when a user uploads a video at Times Square in New York, USA, the public location of the video can be set to all locations within a radius of 200 meters from the same Times Square in New York, USA for one year starting 100 years from now, or the public location can be set to all locations within the spaces of South Korea and France for 30 minutes starting 48 hours from now, and all locations in Seoul, South Korea and Paris, France for one year starting 10 years ago.

[0040] Furthermore, according to the present invention, a large number of meta spacetime access information can be generated based on the shared location for one piece of content. Therefore, it becomes easy for the user to selectively set the shared location for each piece of content. When the shared location is changed or added even after uploading the content to a specific website or app, there is a remarkable effect that this can be easily applied.

[0041] Also, according to the present invention, since the radius distance, height, and time can be set centered around the desired location of the user, there is user convenience in making the user's video publicly available (searchable) over a wide area or not publicly available (searchable) as needed. Moreover, according to the present invention, it is also possible to activate the location as needed and search for it as needed.

[0042] In an existing network environment, the boundary and scope within which the information to be distributed can be shared were inevitably limited in that the website selling the product and the app poster were directly involved in controlling the method of information distribution and the setting of information distribution routes. On the contrary, according to the present invention, even if the content to be searched or published has a piece of location information, the position within the space specified by the distance reaching the radius centered on the corresponding position, the position within the space specified from the position of the corresponding space to a certain height, and for each position, depending on different points in time or periods when the content is published, a number of new positions can be further specified so that the content can be published, thus enabling the breakdown of the scope and boundary for the existing restrictive information distribution methods and routes. In particular, there is an effect of providing users with a much higher probability of achieving industrial goals that can bring about an increase in the amount of distribution information, an expansion of fields, an expansion of opportunities, and a reduction in costs in relation to the expansion of sales of a certain product.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0044] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the system configuration of a meta-spatial access gate generation device and a connection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] The meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) and the meta-spatial access gate connection device (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention are means for providing users on the network with the ability to access or search for shared content at a specific location (space-time) set by the users by arbitrarily adding and setting the location information that the users want to share to the shared content.

[0046] Such a meta-spatial access generation device (100) and a meta-spatial access gate connection device (200) can be implemented in one service server (1) and operate in conjunction with a network connection information input device (2) and a database (3). For example, when network connection information for accessing shared content is input from the network connection information input device (2), the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) inserts the location information shared by the user into the network connection information to generate new meta-spatial access gate information, and stores the generated meta-spatial access gate information in the database (3).

[0047] Then, when a search for shared content is requested from a user on the network via the network connection information input device (2), the meta-spatial access gate connection device (200) queries the meta-spatial access gate information already stored in the database (3), detects the meta-spatial access gate information that can access the corresponding content, and provides the connection. At this time, the users on the network are limited to the users who match the location information inserted according to the user's request when the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) generates new meta-spatial access gate information.

[0048] With such a configuration, users on the network can, with respect to various contents, for example, not only product-related ones but also videos, photos, etc. related to things that are currently happening (accidents, experiences, experiments, etc.), thoughts or ideas about the past and the future, etc., set the information of a specific time and space desired by the user regardless of the actual position of the terminal when uploading the content. In this way, even without collecting the position information corresponding to the user's personal information, the thoughts and the like that other users have regarding the same time and space can be shared.

[0049] Hereinafter, the configurations of the meta-time-space access gate generation device (100) and the meta-time-space access gate connection device (200) for implementing this will be specifically described.

[0050] Meta Spatial Access Gate Generation Device (100) FIG. 2 is a detailed configuration diagram of the meta-time-space access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, referring to FIG. 2, the meta-time-space access gate generation device (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an address input unit (110), a network connection information receiving unit (120), a meta-time-space access gate generation unit (130), a distance radius setting unit (140), a map DB (150), a latitude DB (160), a longitude DB (170), and a meta-time-space information DB (180).

[0051] The address input unit (110) receives the address or postal code of the position where the content is to be shared. At this time, the address input unit (110) provides an interface screen for inputting the address or postal code, and can obtain the address or postal code by directly inputting the corresponding address name or postal code (for example, Gangnam-daero 396 or 06232) on the interface screen. Alternatively, an accurate address or postal code can be obtained through address search, or an electronic map can be provided on the interface screen, and the desired position can be selected on the electronic map or obtained through position search.

[0052] The network connection information receiving unit (120) receives network connection information that can access the content (hereinafter referred to as the content to be shared) that has already been posted on the Internet or is to be uploaded to the Internet. At this time, the network connection information receiving unit (120) is connected to the network connection information input device (2 in FIG. 1) shown in FIG. 1, and receives network connection information for the content to be shared from this device.

[0053] The network connection information includes the web page address or server address where the content to be shared is posted or uploaded. For example, it can be composed of an accessible URL address, an IP address, or source code including any one of these.

[0054] The map DB (150) stores data for providing an electronic map. The latitude and longitude DBs (160, 170) store latitude information and longitude information of positions corresponding to a map or a postal code. In FIG. 2, the latitude and longitude DBs (160, 170) are shown as separate components from each other, but they can be integrated into one DB as needed. The meta spatio - temporal information DB (180) stores the newly generated meta spatio - temporal access gate information generated via the meta spatio - temporal access gate generation unit (130) in a content - by - content matching manner.

[0055] Here, the map DB (150), the latitude DB (160), the longitude DB (170), and the meta spatio - temporal information DB (180) can be included in the meta spatio - temporal access gate generation device (100), but are not limited to this. Needless to say, they can be configured in the service server (1 in FIG. 1) in which the meta spatio - temporal access gate generation device (100) is implemented, or in an external database (3 in FIG. 1). The external database (3 in FIG. 1) can be a storage space on a cloud platform.

[0056] The meta - space access gate generation unit (130) queries and obtains the latitude information and longitude information of the location corresponding to the address or postal code input from the address input unit (110) from the latitude and longitude databases (160, 170), and generates new meta - space access gate information for the shared target content by including the obtained latitude information and longitude information together with the network connection information input from the network connection information receiving unit (120). Also, the meta - space access gate generation unit (130) stores the generated new meta - space access gate information in the meta - space information database (180), and at this time, it can be stored in a matching manner together with the identification information that can identify the shared target content or the user.

[0057] The new meta - space access gate information generated in this way is source code that includes accessible link information or connection information in which the latitude and longitude information of the location corresponding to the shared location, that is, the address or postal code, is included in the meta - space. When generating new meta - space access gate information, the meta - space access gate generation unit (130) can further include the address information of the location that matches the latitude and longitude information.

[0058] Also, when generating meta - space access gate information, the meta - space access gate generation unit (130) can further include the postal code of the location that matches the latitude and longitude information. Alternatively, the meta - space access gate generation unit (130) can also generate meta - space access gate information by including all of the address information and postal code of the location that matches the latitude and longitude information.

[0059] In this way, since the meta - space access gate generation unit (130) generates new meta - space access gate information based on the shared location, if there are multiple shared locations, a corresponding number of meta - space access gate information can be generated and managed by content type.

[0060] On the other hand, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) can generate meta-spatial access gate information by further including, as shared location information, location information within a space specified by a distance from a desired location to reach an arbitrary radius or location information within a space region specified by a height set from a desired location.

[0061] Here, the space specified by height includes, as shown in FIG. 3, any one of the number of floors of an arbitrary building, the height from sea level, or the height from the ground surface. Specifically, the space specified by height can be specified by specifying one floor number or height, or by setting a range of floor numbers (from ~ floor to ~ floor) or a range of heights (from ~ height to ~ height). For example, when a user tries to share memories of the meta-space with others, the memories may be unclear. If only the exact location (such as a building or address) and time of the corresponding meta-space are known, and the floor of the building is not accurately remembered, it can be specified to some extent between which floors.

[0062] On the other hand, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) can generate meta-spatial access gate information by further including time information related to the time point or period when exposed at the shared location. As shown in FIG. 4, the time information includes information on how long a period is shared at the current, past, or future time points. It can be specified to some extent between which floors.

[0063] For example, while a user uploads a video at Times Square in New York, USA, the public location of the video can be set at the current time, from 10 years later for 1 year, within a radius of 1 km from the center of the same Times Square in New York. Or, the public location can be set at the current time, from 48 hours later for 30 minutes, at a spatial location corresponding to within a radius of 200 meters from the centers of the capitals of South Korea and France.

[0064] Here, when a large number of time information is included for one content to be shared, the meta spacetime access gate generation unit (130) can generate a large number of meta spacetime access gate information that are different from each other corresponding to the large number of time information. Therefore, it is provided so that the content to be shared can be made public at different time points or different periods included in the time information.

[0065] On the other hand, when there are a large number of shared locations, in other words, when one or more addresses or postal codes are input instead of one, and thus a large number of latitude information and longitude information are included, without directly assigning the large number of latitude information and longitude information to the meta spacetime access gate information, a set ID obtained by grouping the large number of latitude information and longitude information can be assigned and inserted. For example, when generating meta spacetime access gate information including a URL address, it can be generated including [URL address] + [a large number of latitude information and longitude information], but it can also be configured including only [URL address] + [a set ID obtained by grouping a large number of latitude information and longitude information]. Or, it can be generated including [URL address] + [one representative latitude information and longitude information among a large number of latitude information and longitude information] + [a set ID obtained by grouping the remaining latitude information and longitude information]. The same applies when applied to an IP address or source code other than the URL address.

[0066] In addition, when the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) causes shared content to be published through the website of a service provider, it can generate the meta-spatial access gate information by attaching the domain address (URL address) or specific IP address of the service provider to the meta-spatial access gate information. That is, the meta-spatial access gate information can be generated including [the domain address (or specific IP address) of the service provider] + [network connection information (URL address, IP address, source code)] + [a large number of latitude and longitude information]. Therefore, when a user connects to the corresponding shared content, it can be made accessible through the website of the service provider.

[0067] On the other hand, the configuration for assigning the set ID of the present invention can be applied more efficiently even when an arbitrary radius distance is set for the shared position. When an arbitrary radius distance is set, a large amount of position information can be included in the space defined as the distance to reach the set radius, and it is more efficient to apply it by assigning a set ID obtained by grouping this.

[0068] Actually, the more latitude and longitude information is included in the meta-spatial access gate information, the longer the length of the text constituting the meta-spatial access gate information becomes, and the very long the length of the link becomes. Therefore, every time users connect to the meta-spatial access gate information, the accumulated traffic increases, and as the number of connecters increases, the amount of accumulated traffic increases geometrically. As a result, there is a loss of network resources and the speed can only decrease. However, if the above-described set ID assignment method is applied, the invention can be implemented in a way that contributes to network traffic.

[0069] The distance radius setting unit (140) provides a user interface (UI) operation screen for setting a radius distance with respect to a shared location. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, for the convenience of the user, an adjustment bar (112a) type for adjusting the radius distance by moving left and right or up and down, +, - buttons, etc. can be provided. In addition, the distance radius setting unit (140) simultaneously provides a UI operation screen for setting a radius distance on an interface screen for inputting an address or a postal code in conjunction with the address input unit (110), and radius distance information can be input together with the address information of the shared location. Here, the radius distance information is information for setting a spatial area defined as the distance up to the radius centered on the shared location.

[0070] When the radius distance is set via the distance radius setting unit (140), the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) can generate by further including the set radius distance information in the meta-spatial access gate information. At this time, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) can assign the above-mentioned set ID to reduce network traffic. That is, the latitude and longitude information included within the set radius distance and the latitude and longitude information not included within the radius distance are classified and grouped, and the grouped latitude information and longitude information can be included in the meta-spatial access gate information in the form of a set ID.

[0071] As another example, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) directly assigns the latitude information and longitude information of the position that is the center of the radius as representative information to the meta-spatial access gate information, and the other latitude information and longitude information included within the radius distance can be assigned with a set ID to generate the meta-spatial access gate information.

[0072] The operation process of generating the meta-spatial access gate information with the above device configuration is as follows. In connection with this, FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation process of the meta-spatial access gate generation device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining an additional operation process based on the setting of the radius distance during the process of FIG. 5, and FIGS. 7 to 18 are diagrams showing, as an example, the user interface screens performed at each stage of FIG. 5.

[0073] First, referring to FIG. 5, in the first stage S100, the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) receives network connection information that can access the shared target content from the user via the network connection information receiving unit (130 in FIG. 2).

[0074] As an example, FIG. 7 shows a screen in which a URL address (100a) is input as network connection information in the input window. FIG. 8 is a screen for displaying the shared target content (100b) corresponding to the input URL address (100a) and the cover image (100c) for the shared target content (100c), and FIG. 9 shows a screen for setting the cover image (100c). Here, the shared target content is shown by taking, as an example, a video posted on YouTube. When the cover image (100c) setting menu as shown in FIG. 8 is selected, related image files are displayed as shown in FIG. 9, and when the selection of the desired image file is input from the displayed image files, it is set as the cover image.

[0075] In the next stage S110, basic setting information necessary for the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) to generate meta-spatial access gate information is input. As an example, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, basic information of various items can be set and managed on a setting screen necessary for generating meta-spatial access gate information. The basic information includes the presence or absence of web page generation (110a) for setting whether to generate meta-spatial access gate information on a web page, the form of network connection information to be generated (110b), the presence or absence of connection information display (110c) regarding whether to publicly display network connection information, the presence or absence of using meta-anchor text (110d), the presence or absence of assigning an address, postal code, or latitude / longitude corresponding to meta-position information (110e), the presence or absence of time information assignment (110f), and the like.

[0076] In the next step S120, an address or postal code of the location where the content is shared is input via an address input unit (110 in FIG. 2) of the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100). Regarding this, it is shown in detail in FIGS. 12 and 13. FIGS. 12 and 13 show a screen for searching for an address or postal code through map search in association with an electronic map.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 12, basically, an electronic map (120a) and an address search bar (120b) are displayed on the interface screen. When a user inputs an address name or postal code of the location to be shared in the address search bar (120b), the surrounding area is displayed in association with the electronic map (120a) centered on the input location. FIG. 13 shows an example of inputting the address of the CGV movie theater located in Gangnam-gu. It shows an example of inputting the address of the theater.

[0078] In the next step S130, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) of the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) queries and detects the latitude information and longitude information of the location corresponding to the input address or postal code from the data stored in the latitude DB (160) and the longitude DB (170).

[0079] As an example, FIG. 14 shows a screen that acquires the latitude information and longitude information of the position corresponding to the address of the CGV cinema input in FIG. 13 and displays this on an electronic map. A peripheral area centered on the CGV cinema is displayed on the electronic map (120a), and the radius distance (120d) set in the previous step S110 is displayed. Also, the information currently set on the electronic map (120a), that is, the information (120c) including the network connection information of the corresponding content, the latitude information and longitude information corresponding to the address of the CGV cinema (the corresponding position), and the radius distance information is displayed in real time. This information (120c) is information used for the meta-spatial access gate information. Although it is shown on the current map screen, when generating the meta-spatial access gate information, depending on the basic setting information set by the user, in addition to the radius distance information, latitude information, and longitude information, time information may or may not be included.

[0080] In the next step S140, the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130) generates meta-spatial access gate information for the shared content including the detected latitude and longitude information and network connection information. Then, the generated meta-spatial access gate information is stored in the meta-spatial information DB (180). At this time, the meta-spatial access gate information can be stored in association with information (ID or name, title) that can identify the user or the shared content.

[0081] FIG. 16 is a screen notifying that the meta-spatial access gate information has been successfully generated. FIG. 17 is a screen for enlarging and checking the shared content of the corresponding access gate after generating the meta-spatial access gate information. FIG. 18 is a screen for displaying information related to the corresponding access gate on the screen after generating the meta-spatial access gate information.

[0082] The meta - space access gate generation unit (130) of the meta - space access gate generation device (100) displays the generated meta - space access gate information on the screen, provides it for immediate connection to the corresponding link information, and provides a function that can copy the meta - space access gate information as needed. According to such a process, even when it is not possible to add or modify the user's own personal information or location information after posting the content to be shared on a specific website or application such as YouTube, ordinary users who are not administrators can freely generate and publish new meta - space access gate information with modified and added meta - information. As a result, there is an advantage that users can access or search for content only at the desired locations.

[0083] Next, at step S112 in FIG. 6, the meta - space access gate generation device (100) can confirm whether there is an input for the radius distance via the distance radius setting unit (140). Such a step can also be performed during the step of setting basic information (S110) in FIG. 5. However, before generating the final meta - space access gate information, the latitude information and longitude information of the position desired by the user can be detected, and in the future when adjustment of the radius distance is required, it can be done by the user's operation.

[0084] If the setting of the radius distance is not input at step S112, the operation of the next step (S120 in FIG. 5) is performed. If the setting of the radius distance is input at step S112, as in the next step S142, the meta - space access gate generation unit (130) of the meta - space access gate generation device (100) reflects the input radius distance information in the meta - space access gate information based on the basic setting information, and generates the final meta - space access gate information with or without including it additionally.

[0085] For example, FIG. 15 shows an example in which an adjustment bar (112a) for adjusting the radius distance is provided on the screen where the latitude information and longitude information corresponding to the CGV theater in FIG. 14 are displayed, and through this, the radius distance is expanded and set from the previous 5 km to 14.2 km. This is the case where it is set and input by the user's operation at a previous stage before generating the final meta-spatial access gate information. In the information (120c) field located at the lower part of the screen, the radius distance information is corrected and displayed each time the radius distance is set and changed in synchronization with the input of the adjustment bar (112a).

[0086] At this time, when there are a large number of latitude and longitude information corresponding to the spatial area specified by the corresponding radius distance, the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) only assigns the set ID obtained by grouping a large number of latitude and longitude information as described above to the meta-spatial access gate information, and a large number of latitude and longitude information corresponding to the assigned set ID are stored and managed by the matching logic between the database and the meta-spatial access gate generation unit (130).

[0087] At this time, the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) can design a logic that allows access to the corresponding latitude and longitude information by the set ID using the program code or protocol determined by those skilled in the art for the database storing the latitude and longitude information. Also, at the S142 stage, the meta-spatial access gate generation device (100) can generate one meta-spatial access gate information including a large number of latitude information and longitude information, but one meta-spatial access gate information can be generated including only one latitude information and longitude information.

[0088] In the latter case, it can be understood as a concept of generating a large number of auxiliary meta-spatial access gate information. For example, for the same content, main meta-spatial access gate information and a large number of auxiliary meta-spatial access gate information can be generated according to different shared locations. That is, based on Gangnam in Seoul, Manhattan in the United States and Paris in France can be generated as auxiliary meta-spatial access gate information.

[0089] In addition to this, even if the positions shared for the same content are the same, the meta-space access gate generation device (100) can generate a large number of auxiliary meta-space access gate information according to position information based on the radius distance, position information that can be specified by height at the shared position, or position information based on the time point or period of publication, etc. That is, the shared target content is made public from the current time point to all spaces from the center of Gangnam in Seoul, but it can be generated including position information such that Manhattan in the United States and Paris in France are made public for 30 minutes starting 48 hours later.

[0090] Meta Spatial Access Gate Connection Device (200) FIG. 19 is a detailed configuration diagram of a meta-space access gate connection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The meta-space access gate connection device (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a search information input unit (210), an identification unit (220), a search unit (230), and a connection unit (240). The search information input unit (210) receives search information for shared target content from an unspecified number of user terminals.

[0091] Here, the unspecified number of user terminals can be a user-side network connection information input device (2 in FIG. 1), and is not limited thereto, and can include all unspecified number of terminals, such as PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc. The search information is position information to be searched, and includes a word or a combination of words including any one or more of an address, a postal code, a radius distance, height information, or time information.

[0092] The identification unit (220) identifies by querying the data stored in the latitude DB (160) and the longitude DB (170) for the latitude information and longitude information of the position corresponding to the search information input via the search information input unit (210). The search unit (230) searches by referring to the meta spatio-temporal access gate information that matches the latitude information and longitude information identified via the identification unit (220) in the meta spatio-temporal information DB (180).

[0093] The connection unit (240) provides the network connection information included in the meta spatio-temporal access gate information searched by the search unit (230) so that it can be connected through the Internet.

[0094] Therefore, as a basic search method, when position information including an address or a postal code is input, the meta spatio-temporal access gate connection device (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention identifies the latitude information and longitude information corresponding to the input address or postal code, and searches for and provides the meta spatio-temporal access gate information that matches the identified latitude information and longitude information.

[0095] As another search method, when a search request is made including a radius distance together with the position information to be searched, the identification unit (220) of the meta spatio-temporal access gate connection device (200) identifies not only the latitude information and longitude information of the position for which the search request is made, but also the latitude information and longitude information included in the radius distance. Then, the search unit (230) searches for and provides the meta spatio-temporal access gate information including a large number of latitude information and longitude information identified from the data already stored in the meta spatio-temporal information DB (180).

[0096] As yet another search method, when a search request is made including one or more of time information or height information together with the position information to be searched, the identification unit (220) identifies not only the latitude information and longitude information of the position for which the search request is made, but also the latitude information and longitude information including the time information or height information. Then, the search unit (230) searches for and provides the meta spatio-temporal access gate information including one or more of the latitude information, longitude information, time information, or height information identified from the data already stored in the meta spatio-temporal information DB (180).

[0097] The above description is merely illustrative of the present invention, and various modifications can be made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.
