How to share location tag data between systems

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for sharing location information tag data between systems, and more particularly, to a method for sharing location information tag data between systems that can utilize location information tagged data such as photographs, square images, documents, videos, audio files, IoT data or 3D models by integrating, querying, sharing, etc. between different systems.

[0002] In various industries, managing resources and the issues associated with them is crucial to operational efficiency. In particular, systems and services are being developed to store and utilize location- or geographic-related data in various ways.

[0003] In particular, there is a growing demand for technologies that enhance the usability of geographic information by integrating, managing, and sharing data across systems that provide similar or different types of data for the same target space. However, manually linking data based on geographic information stored in different systems or developing dedicated tools for each data type is inefficient and results in low accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a device or method that can automatically integrate, share, or easily query location-tagged data stored and managed in different systems.

[0005] The present invention has been devised to satisfy the above-described need, and its purpose is to provide a method for sharing location information tag data between systems, which can easily integrate, search, or share data between systems using spatial locations between different systems having data related to location information.

[0006] In order to solve the above-described object, the present invention is characterized in that it includes: (a) a step in which a first storage module stores first spatial information, which is information related to a target space, and first location information indicating a location in the target space corresponding to each data of the first spatial information, in a first system; (b) a step in which a second storage module stores second spatial information, which is information related to the target space, and second location information indicating a location in the target space corresponding to each data of the second spatial information, in a second system; and (c) a step in which a connection information generation module generates connection location information obtained by converting the first location information based on a coordinate system of the second location information and connection space information capable of being connected to the first spatial information corresponding to each location of the connection location information, and stores the generated connection location information in the second system.

[0007] The method for sharing location information tag data between systems of the present invention has the effect of effectively linking location information-related data of different systems with different contents, formats, and purposes for the same target space, and enabling the data to be organized, searched, integrated, and utilized.

[0008] In addition, the method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention has the advantage of automatically performing the task of linking location information-related data between different systems, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the task.

[0010] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention.

[0011] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a device for implementing an example of a method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart for implementing an example of a method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention.

[0013] Referring to FIG. 1, a device for implementing a method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention comprises a first storage module (100), a second storage module (200), a connection information generation module (300), a matching information generation module (400), and a display module (500).

[0014] The first storage module (100) stores first space information, which is information related to a target space, and first location information, which indicates a location in the target space corresponding to each data of the first space information, in the first system.

[0015] The target space may be a space including the interior and exterior of a building, an indoor space, or a space displayed on a map.

[0016] First-spatial information is information that includes content related to the target space. This information can include photos, videos, documents, audio files, equirectangular images, IoT data, 3D models, and other various forms of content. This embodiment uses an example where first-spatial information is document information about a problem being solved in a building under construction.

[0017] First location information is information indicating the location of each piece of first spatial information in relation to the target space. The first location information may be stored in the form of three-dimensional coordinates matching the individual pieces of first spatial information. In some cases, the first location information may also be stored in the form of two-dimensional coordinates, such as GPS coordinates. This embodiment will illustrate an example where the first location information is the three-dimensional coordinates of a point inside or outside a building under construction.

[0018] The first system may be a mobile device, a personal computer, or a server. The first system may also be part of a service provided as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Like the second system and the first system described below, the first system may take the form of various devices or services. The first and second systems may be different programs or applications installed on the same computer or server, or they may be different modules within the same program.

[0019] The second storage module (200) stores second space information, which is information related to the target space, and second location information, which indicates a location in the target space corresponding to each data of the second space information, in the second system.

[0020] Second spatial information, like first spatial information, is information that includes content related to the target space. Like first spatial information, it can take various forms. Second spatial information can be in the same format as the first spatial information or in a different format. In this embodiment, the second spatial information is described as an example in which the second spatial information is photographs of various points in the target space, which is a building under construction as described above. Second location information is the location coordinates corresponding to individual data of the second spatial information. Second location information can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional coordinates, but in this embodiment, the second location information is described as a three-dimensional coordinate indicating specific points in the target space.

[0021] The connection information generation module (300) generates connection location information and connection space information and stores them in the second system.

[0022] The connected location information is location information that is converted into the first location information based on the coordinate system of the second location information. If the reference coordinate systems of the first location information and the second location information are the same and have the same format, the first location information itself becomes the connected location information. In this case, the connected location information generation module (300) generates the connected location information by directly replicating the first location information. If the coordinate systems of the first location information and the second location information are different, the connected location information generation module (300) converts the first location information into the format of the coordinate system of the second location information that can be recognized by the second system and generates the connected location information.

[0023] The connection spatial information is data that can be linked to the first spatial information corresponding to each location of the connection location information. The connection information generation module (300) generates the connection spatial information by duplicating, attaching, or creating a connection link for the first spatial information. That is, the connection information generation module (300) can generate the connection spatial information by copying the first spatial information as is to the second system, or can generate the connection spatial information by creating a link or backlink so that the first spatial information can be checked in the first system connected to the network in response to the connection location information. Such connection location information and connection spatial information can be updated, copied, and edited in various ways by the connection information generation module (300). Such connection location information and connection spatial information are stored in the second system, so that they can be searched or extracted in association with the second spatial information and the second location information in the second system.

[0024] The matching information generation module (400) generates a relationship matching the second location information among the connected location information as matching information and stores it in the second system. In the present embodiment, the matching information generation module (400) extracts a location in the target space where the location based on the second location information and the location based on the connected location information are determined to be close to each other, and generates a correspondence relationship between the connected space information corresponding to the second space information as matching information. For example, when 10 cm is set as the reference distance, the matching information generation module (400) generates a correspondence relationship between data of the second space information and the connected space information within a distance of 10 cm as matching information based on the second location information and the connected location information, and stores it in the second system. In this way, the matching information generation module (400) determines that the second space data and the connected space data located within a distance of 10 cm, which is the reference distance, are data for the same location, and generates a correspondence relationship as matching information. This reference distance may vary depending on the situation, usage environment, and characteristics of the space. In addition, it is possible for the matching information generation module (400) to generate a correspondence relationship between the second spatial information and the linked spatial information using an algorithm by various proximity matching engines other than the method by the reference distance range.

[0025] The display module (500) displays second spatial information and connection spatial information on the display device using the display device. The display module (500) displays second spatial information and connection spatial information at positions corresponding to second location information and connection location information within a virtual space representing a target space displayed by the display device.

[0026] For example, in a virtual space where a three-dimensional design drawing of a target space corresponding to a building under construction is displayed, a display device may display a photo of a column under construction at a specific point (second spatial information) and a work instruction sheet for the column (first spatial information). In addition, by using matching information, when a specific three-dimensional resource object such as a window is selected in the virtual space, the display device may display second spatial information corresponding to the three-dimensional object and the matching connection spatial information, or first spatial information obtained from the connection spatial information (first spatial information such as a work instruction sheet for the window, the specifications of the window). In addition, when the connection spatial information is a link connected to the first spatial information, the display module (500) may use the link to display second spatial information and first spatial information that have a matching relationship with each other on the display device.

[0027] Hereinafter, a process for implementing a location information tag data sharing method between systems according to the present invention using a device configured as described above will be described.

[0028] First, the first storage module (100) stores the first spatial information and the first location information in the first system (step (a); S100).

[0029] Additionally, the second storage module (200) stores the second space information and the second location information in the second system (step (b); S200).

[0030] As described above, the first spatial information, the first location information, the second spatial information, and the second location information all refer to the same target space. The first spatial information and the second spatial information may differ in type and format, and the first location information and the second location information may also have different reference coordinate systems and scales.

[0031] Steps (a) and (b) may be performed separately and in any order.

[0032] Next, the connection information generation module (300) searches the first location information and the first spatial information of the first system to generate the connection location information and the connection spatial information (step (c); S300). The connection location information is information that converts the first location information into the same format as the second location information based on the coordinate system of the second location information. If the reference coordinate system, scale, and format of the first location information and the second location information are the same, the first location information directly becomes the connection location information. The connection spatial information is data that can be linked to the first spatial information in response to the connection location information. As described above, the data itself that copies the first spatial information and stores it in the second system can become the connection spatial information. In addition, rather than copying the first space itself to the second system, various formats of data such as addresses, links, and backlinks that can search for the first spatial information corresponding to the connection location information (first location information) through a wired / wireless network or other information search method can become the connection spatial information.

[0033] Next, the matching information generation module (400) generates a corresponding relationship between the second spatial information and the linked spatial information as matching information and stores it in the second system (step (d); S400). Matching information is information that extracts a location among the linked location information that is determined to be close to or identical to the second location information and establishes a corresponding relationship with the second spatial information.

[0034] Among the linked spatial information, there may be data that corresponds to the second spatial information in terms of location or geography, and there may be data that does not. The matching information generation module (400) extracts data that corresponds to the second spatial information and the location among the linked spatial information and organizes the correspondence as matching information. To this end, the matching information scans the second location information and the linked location information, extracts locations that are determined to be identical or close to each other, and then establishes a correspondence between the second spatial information and the linked spatial information. The location correspondence between the data of the second location information and the linked location information can be determined using a preset reference distance range as described above, or various other methods.

[0035] Next, the display module (500) displays the second spatial information and the connected spatial information using the display device (step (e); S500). The display module (500) displays a virtual space corresponding to the target space on the display device and displays at least a portion of the second spatial information and the connected spatial information at a corresponding position in the virtual space. For example, when a three-dimensional object in the virtual space displayed on the display device is selected by a method such as a mouse click, the display module (500) displays the second spatial information corresponding to the position of the three-dimensional object on the display device. In addition, the display module (500) can also display the corresponding connected spatial information on the display device if there is connected spatial information matching the displayed second spatial information by searching for matching information.

[0036] In this way, the method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention can easily connect, organize, search, integrate, and utilize first spatial data and second spatial data having different contents, formats, and purposes for the same target space. The method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention automatically performs the task of connecting the first spatial data and the second spatial data, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the task. In addition, the present invention can provide convenience and efficiency in information utilization between data containing geographical information, such as geo-tags. In addition, the method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention has the advantage of enabling flexible data sharing or integration between different systems (first system and second system) containing location information or spatial information. The method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention has the advantage of enabling data to be mutually searched or shared between different spatial information utilizing systems, thereby enabling easy and convenient expansion of functions related to space or geography between different services or different systems.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described above with preferred examples, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated above.

[0038] For example, although the display module (500) has been described above as displaying the second spatial information and the connected spatial information on the display device by step (e), the method, format, and path by which the display module (500) displays the second spatial information and / or the connected spatial information on the display device may be variously modified. In addition, the method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention may be terminated by generating only the matching information by step (d) without performing step (e). When the connected location information and the connected spatial information are generated by step (c), and the matching information is generated by step (d) and output as a result of the present invention, the result can be used in the second system according to various purposes, methods, and objectives as needed.

[0039] In addition, it is also possible to implement the method for sharing location information tag data between systems of the present invention with a configuration that only includes steps (a), (b), and (c) without also implementing step (d). If only the linked spatial information and linked location information are generated by step (c), the result can be used in various ways and for various purposes in the second system. The second system can integrate and utilize the information stored in the first system and the information stored in the second system in various ways by using the second spatial information and the second location information stored by step (b) and the linked spatial information and linked location information stored by step (c). For example, when some data from the second spatial information is selected, the second system can be made to operate to extract or retrieve first spatial information related thereto based on various criteria.

[0040] In addition, although the connection information generation module (300) above used the term “conversion” for the process of generating connection location information by converting the first location information to match the coordinate system of the second location information in step (c), the first location information itself may become connection location information if the coordinate systems and scales of the first location information and the second location information are the same. In this respect, the “conversion” of step (c) is a concept that also includes cases where the first location information and the connection location information are the same.

[0041] Additionally, each step of configuring the method for sharing location information tag data between systems according to the present invention may be performed in either the first system and / or the second system, or may be performed in a separate device.
