[0009] Using the subway has become part of daily life. However, reaching and disembarking at the desired station still requires considerable attention. This is especially true when traveling across multiple lines. Inside the subway cars, there are display panels displaying the station names, and the station names are written on the pillars within the stations. Smart image sensors are installed in the subway cars; these smart image sensors may also be CCTVs. CCTVs are installed inside the vehicles. In this invention, the term "smart image sensor" is used consistently. The smart image sensor has an image sensing function, a function to extract text from the sensed image, and a data transmission function.

[0010] Subways are classified by line, line, and station name as shown in Fig. 3.

[0011] The route names are the Seoul Metropolitan Area, Incheon, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Daejeon.

[0012] The line names are Lines 1–9 for the Seoul Metropolitan Area, Lines 1–2 for Incheon, Lines 1–4 for Busan, Lines 1–3 for Daegu, Line 1 for Gwangju, and Line 1 for Daejeon.

[0013] Refer to the subway route map for subway station names based on routes and lines. Includes one of the following: subway station name, subway station name image, or subway station name text. The subway DB is the line name subway DB.

[0014] The subway line name database consists of a line name table, a line name table, and a station name table.

[0015] The route name table values ​​are the Seoul Metropolitan Area, Incheon, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, and Daejeon.

[0016] The line name table values ​​contain the names of lines 1 to 9 of the Seoul Metropolitan Area, lines 1 to 2 of Incheon, lines 1 to 4 of Busan, lines 1 to 3 of Daegu, line 1 of Gwangju, and line 1 of Daejeon.

[0017] The station name is the station name displayed on the subway route map.

[0018] Stations that run through multiple lines have station names corresponding to each line. Seoul Station on Line 1 and Seoul Station on Line 4 are representative examples. Express Bus Terminal Station on Line 3, Express Bus Terminal Station on Line 7, and Express Bus Terminal Station on Line 9 are also examples of this. When the subway station notification app is launched, a subway station notification text message and a notification screen creation button are displayed on the passenger's smartphone screen. When the notification screen creation button is pressed, a notification screen as shown in Fig. 3 is displayed on the passenger's smartphone screen. The line name menu, line name menu, and station name menu are displayed, and a vibration button, voice button, cancel button, and execute button are displayed on the passenger's smartphone screen.

[0019] For example, if you board at Gaebong Station and get off at Seoul Station, select the Seoul Metropolitan Area from the Route Name menu, select Line 1 from the Line Name menu, and select Seoul Station from the Station Name menu.

[0020] In another embodiment, if a passenger boards at Gwanghwamun Station and alights at Hongik Univ. Station, pressing the notification screen generation button displayed parallel to the subway station notification text displayed on the passenger's smartphone screen displays a notification screen as shown in FIG. 3 on the passenger's smartphone screen. At this time, a vibration button, a voice button, and an execution button are displayed at the bottom of the screen. One must take the fastest route from Gwanghwamun Station to Hongik Univ. Station. One boards at Gwanghwamun Station, alights at Chungjeongno Station, transfers to a subway line going to Hongik Univ. Station, and then alights at Hongik Univ. Station. That is, in the present invention, to board at Gwanghwamun Station and alight at Chungjeongno Station, one selects "Metropolitan Area" from the line name menu, selects "Line 5" from the line name menu, and selects "Chungjeongno Station" from the station name menu. After selecting at least one of the vibration button or the voice button, one selects the execution button (presses the execution button).

[0021] On the screen, "Seoul Metropolitan Area" is displayed under the route name, "Line 5" under the line name, "Chungjeongno Station" under the station name, and the execution button is displayed as ON / OFF. If you are going from Chungjeongno Station to Hongik Univ. Station, you must go from Chungjeongno Station to Hongik Univ. Station; therefore, select "Seoul Metropolitan Area" in the route name menu, "Line 2" in the line name menu, and "Hongik Univ. Station" under the station name, select at least one of the vibration or voice buttons, and press the save button. On the screen, "Seoul Metropolitan Area" is displayed under the route name, "Line 2" under the line name, and "Hongik Univ. Station" under the station name, while the execution button is in an ON or OFF state. In other words, the destination station is announced via vibration or voice only when the execution button is in the ON state. The ON and OFF states of the execution button are distinguished by color.

[0022] While there may be various methods for distinguishing subway station names, the present invention is configured to generate a subway line name database so that the input and output sections are easily displayed, and the subway station names generated in the subway database include at least one of a subway station name image and a subway station name character. The subway station name character includes at least one of a subway station name character and a subway station name number.

[0023] A smart image sensor installed inside a subway car senses an image of a subway station name displayed on a subway station name display panel installed inside the subway car and transmits the subway station name image to a smartphone, or the smart image sensor senses an image of a subway station name displayed on a subway station name display panel installed inside the subway car, extracts the subway station name characters from the sensed image, and transmits the extracted subway station name characters to a smartphone.

[0024] A smart image sensor installed on the exterior of the subway car senses the subway station name image displayed on the wall inside the subway station and transmits the sensed subway station name image to a smartphone.

[0025] Alternatively, the smart image sensor senses the subway station name image displayed on the wall inside the subway station, extracts the subway station name characters from the sensed image, and transmits the extracted characters to a smartphone. The passenger's smartphone receives either the subway station name image or the subway station name characters, and based on the line name, line name, or station name selected in the line name menu, line name menu, or station name menu, extracts either the exit station name image or the exit station name characters from the subway line name database. It then compares these values ​​whenever the subway train arrives at a station, and notifies the passenger via vibration or voice when the comparison values ​​match. Regarding the exit station, the present invention has an input section and an output section; in the output section, the part selected in the input section is displayed on the screen (excluding the vibration and voice buttons).

[0026] Click the vibration or voice button to activate it. (Distinguished by color) (Colored indicates activation, colorless indicates deactivation)

[0027] This is a button that includes a step of displaying an execution button in the output section to notify the user via at least vibration or voice when the subway arrives at a selected route, line, or station name. The execution button also includes a saving function. The execution button displayed in the output section is the execution button icon. The execution button icon is also activated or deactivated. If the icon is colored, it means the execution button is activated, and if it is colorless, it means it is deactivated.

[0028] When the execute button is pressed, the selected route, line, and station name are saved on the smartphone, and in the output section, the selected route, line, and station name along with the icon of the activated execute button are displayed on the smartphone screen.

[0029] In the output section, the execution button icon displays color when the button is pressed, but later, once the function for the exit station name is complete, the execution button icon on the screen is clicked, turns colorless, and becomes deactivated.

[0030] The step in which a smart image sensor installed in a subway senses an image of a subway station name displayed on a subway station name display panel screen installed in the subway, transmits the sensed subway station name image to a smartphone, and the smartphone extracts subway station name characters from the received subway station name image is another example, corresponding to the case where the smart image sensor does not extract characters from the image. The parts described in the present application based on the present invention are considered to be the present invention.
