Description

Method of providing pickup service using plan position indicator

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for providing a pickup service, and more particularly, to a method for providing a pickup service for matching with people around a user using real-time information, GPS location, and search radius.

[0002] In modern society, mobile devices have become essential tools for facilitating communication between people. Social networking applications, in particular, play a significant role in forming and maintaining relationships, allowing users to easily connect with friends and acquaintances anytime, anywhere. These social networking applications primarily operate by recommending friends based on user profiles or by facilitating communication with existing friends.

[0003] However, these mobile applications primarily focus on connecting with people you already know, lacking features for instantly meeting new people. In particular, the ability to instantly connect with others nearby while in a specific location is a feature rarely supported by existing social networking applications.

[0004] Recently, there have been attempts to develop mobile applications offering pickup services. While existing mobile applications utilize GPS location information to facilitate online chats with people online, most users upload photos that are either edited to look better than they actually are or are poor photographers, resulting in distorted photos. Consequently, even if an online chat appointment leads to an offline meeting, the encounter often doesn't last long.

[0005] The problem that the present invention seeks to solve is to provide a method for providing a pickup service using a plan position indicator, which allows a person to confirm the other person's appearance offline and then decide whether to meet through online chat.

[0006] The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the problems mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by a person having ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs from the description below.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, a method for providing a pickup service using a plan position indicator comprises: a step of a service server providing a pickup service for matching with people around the user, wherein the first real-time information comprises at least one selected from a group consisting of identification information, gender, age, a photograph, currently worn clothing, and currently seated table number information of a user of the first terminal; a step of displaying a plan position indicator on a screen of the first terminal, and displaying at least one second terminal located within the first search radius centered on the first GPS location on the plan position indicator in accordance with a distance and an azimuth; When a terminal selection event occurs for any one of the at least one second terminal from the first terminal, the step of transmitting second real-time information about the selected second terminal to the first terminal and transmitting a first notification to the selected second terminal, wherein the second real-time information is comprised of at least one selected from the group consisting of identification information, gender, age, a photo, currently worn clothing, and currently seated table number information about the user of the selected second terminal; When a chat request event occurs in response to the second real-time information from the first terminal, the step of transmitting a second notification to the selected second terminal; and When an acceptance event occurs in response to the second notification from the selected second terminal, the step of creating a chat room for direct communication between the first terminal and the selected second terminal. Herein, the first notification includes identification information of the first terminal, and the second notification includes the first real-time information of the first terminal.

[0008] The first notification is a one-way message, and the second terminal may not be able to respond separately to the first notification. The second notification is a two-way message, and the selected second terminal may transmit the acceptance event to the service server in response to the second notification.

[0009] At least one second terminal located within the first search radius may be displayed as a symbol on the plan position indicator. The brightness, size, or color of each symbol may be visually differentiated based on an evaluation index for the second terminal, the number of times the second terminal has received the first notification, or the purchase points of the second terminal.

[0010] While the chat room is activated or when the chat room is terminated, the service server may further include a step of receiving an evaluation index for the second terminal from the first terminal and receiving an evaluation index for the first terminal from the second terminal.

[0011] The service server receives the second real-time information, the second GPS location, and the second search radius from each of the at least one second terminals, and only when the distance between the first terminal and the second terminal is less than or equal to the second search radius, the service server can transmit the first notification or the second notification to the selected second terminal.

[0012] The first notification and the second notification may be displayed on the second terminal in different colors or window sizes.

[0013] The brightness, size or color of each symbol above is differentiated and displayed by a function that uses the evaluation index, the number of receptions and the purchase points as variables, and the first to third weights assigned to the evaluation index, the number of receptions and the purchase points respectively may have a relationship as shown in the following mathematical expression 1.

[0014] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0015] 1st weight > 2nd weight > 3rd weight

[0016] Among the at least one second terminal located within the first search radius, only if a photo of the second real-time information has been registered with the service server within a recent predetermined period of time may the second terminal be displayed on the plan position indicator. The pickup service may be available only if the registration date of the photo of the first terminal or the second terminal or the creation date of the photo is within a recent predetermined period of time.

[0017] Specific details of other embodiments are included in the specific contents and drawings.

[0018] As described above, according to the pickup service providing method according to the present invention, the location of the other party can be identified by displaying each terminal on a plan position indicator according to the distance and azimuth using the GPS locations of the user's first terminal and the other party's second terminal. In addition, the second real-time information of the second terminal (i.e., at least one selected from the group consisting of the other party's identification information, gender, age, photo, current clothing, and current table number information) can be used to directly confirm the other party's appearance before online chatting. In particular, since the user of the first terminal can confirm the other party's location through the plan position indicator even if he or she moves to a random location rather than a limited location, the probability or possibility of an encounter is high.

[0019] In addition, at least one second terminal is displayed as a symbol on the plan position indicator, and the brightness, size, or color of each symbol is visually differentiated according to the <evaluation index> for the second terminal, the <number of receptions> for which the second terminal has received the first alarm, or the <purchase points> of the second terminal. Here, the <evaluation index> and <number of receptions> are reputation indices given by a third party of another terminal while the second terminal has been using the pickup service up to now. Specifically, the <evaluation index> is an index that quantifies the evaluation of the user of the second terminal by a third party who has conducted an online chat with the second terminal after the second terminal accepted the chat request. When another terminal selects the second terminal on the plan position indicator to inquire about the second real-time information of the second terminal, the first alarm is automatically transmitted to the second terminal, and the <number of receptions> represents the number of times such first alarm has been received up to now, and the more <number of receptions>, the more information about the second terminal is inquired by other terminals. Additionally, "Purchase Points" are points purchased by a second terminal through a specified payment to use the pickup service. These points can be used as a supplement to improve the overall reputation of the second terminal when the evaluation index or number of receptions is low. Therefore, users of the first terminal can intuitively identify counterparties with high reputations and their own distance from them on the Plan Position Indicator through the brightness, size, or color of each symbol.

[0020] Additionally, users of each terminal can set a search radius, which basically represents the range within which they can search for the other party, centered on themselves. The search radius also represents the range within which the other party can search for themselves. Therefore, if the second terminal is located within the first search radius set by the first terminal, but is not within the second search radius set by the second terminal, even if a terminal selection event or chat request event occurs from the first terminal, the second terminal may not receive the first or second notification. In this way, by considering the search radius of both terminals wishing to conduct an online chat and deciding whether to send a notification, users can check each other's appearance offline in advance before chatting online.

[0021] In addition, if the date of registration of the photo of each terminal on the service server or the date of creation of the photo is outside of the recent specified period, the terminal cannot use the pickup service, and by allowing the pickup service to be used only if it is within the recent specified period, the user's recent appearance can be exposed to the other party.

[0022] It is expected that the pickup service according to the present invention will greatly contribute to solving the problems of low birth rate, low birth rate, and single life in Korea.

[0030] The advantages and features of the present invention, and the methods for achieving them, will become clearer with reference to the embodiments described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various different forms. These embodiments are provided only to ensure that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.

[0031]

[0032] Hereinafter, a pickup service system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a pickup service system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the terminal of FIG. 1. The pickup service system of the present invention includes a plurality of terminals (200) and a service server (100) connected to the terminals via a wireless network.

[0033] The service server (100) may be comprised of one or more server devices for service management, data communication and processing, database construction, security, and authentication, and may include hardware and / or software equipment. The service server (100) may provide mobile application software or pickup mobile application software, and may also provide a web-based platform such as a website. The service server (100) constructs and manages multiple databases. The database may store information such as first and second real-time information uploaded from the terminal (200), first and second GPS locations, first and second search radiuses, first and second notifications, chat rooms, evaluation scores, number of receptions, and purchase points. Here, the real-time information may be comprised of at least one selected from a group consisting of identification information, gender, age, photo, currently worn clothing, and currently seated table number information about the user of the terminal. In addition, a database may be added to record user information, message information, advertising information, billing information, log information, etc. necessary for providing the pickup service, as needed.

[0034] The service server (100) can activate a pickup service limited to terminals located within a specific area (referred to as a "service provision area") using the GPS location of each terminal. The specific area may consist of one or more. For example, the service server (100) can define the surrounding area, including a specific bar or cafe, as a "service provision area" and provide a pickup service limited to terminals located within the service provision area.

[0035] The terminal (200) is a terminal device including a processor, memory, input means, and output means, and may have a wireless communication function that allows the user to move and carry it. A pickup mobile application that implements a pickup service is installed on the terminal (200). The pickup mobile application is a mobile application that uses the GPS location of each terminal to check the other party's location and real-time information on the plan position indicator and conducts online chatting. The pickup mobile application may communicate with the service server (100) or maintain a communication state using the rules and settings set by the OS of the terminal (200). The pickup mobile application may be application software downloaded to the terminal (200) by the user using an external platform or an external link, or may be software installed on the terminal (200) by default in conjunction with the operating system software of the terminal (200). The pickup mobile application may be interoperable with a basic application (e.g., an application for transmitting and receiving text, voice signals, or data) installed by default on the terminal (200) or may be operated independently without separate interoperability.

[0036] The input means of the terminal (200) may include a software or hardware input device, and the output means of the terminal (200) may include a speaker and a display. If the terminal (200) is a mobile device, the display may include a user interface as a means for detecting a user's touch input in the UI / UX of the operating system software and the UI / UX of the application software. The display may be formed of a touch screen that simultaneously performs the function of an input means for detecting a user's touch event while being a means for outputting a screen.

[0037] The memory of the terminal (200) generally provides a location for storing computer code and data used in the device. For example, the memory of the terminal (200) may store firmware for any device, including a pickup mobile application and the resources required for its operation / management, as well as a basic input / output system, an operating system, various programs, applications, or user interface functions running on the device, processor functions, etc.

[0038] The processor of the terminal (200) executes computer code in conjunction with the operating system, generating and using data. Furthermore, the processor can use a series of instructions to receive and process input and output data between components of the electronic device. Furthermore, the processor serves as a control unit that executes the functions of the operating system software and various application software (including the pickup mobile application) installed on the electronic device.

[0039] The terminal (200) may include a terminal device capable of transmitting and receiving various data via a wired or wireless network in response to a user's key operation, touch input, drag input, or command. For example, the terminal (200) may be a mobile device, such as a personal computer (PC), tablet computer, laptop computer, PDA, or smartphone. Preferably, the terminal (200) may be a mobile device that the user can carry around.

[0040]

[0041] Hereinafter, a method for providing a pickup service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7. FIG. 3 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a method for providing a pickup service according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a user interface of a first terminal using the pickup service according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a user interface of a first terminal receiving the second real-time information in FIG. 3. FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a user interface of a second terminal receiving the first notification in FIG. 3. FIG. 7 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a user interface of a second terminal receiving the second notification in FIG. 3.

[0042] First, the service server (100) provides a pickup service for matching with people in the vicinity to multiple terminals (200). The multiple terminals (200) include a first terminal (210) and a second terminal (220).

[0043] First, the first terminal (210) executes the pickup mobile application and transmits the first real-time information, the first GPS location, and the first search radius to the service server (100) (S10). Here, the first real-time information may be comprised of at least one selected from the group consisting of identification information, gender, age, photo, currently worn clothing, and currently seated table number information about the user of the first terminal (210). For example, the identification information may be comprised of an ID, nickname, name, or a unique terminal number. The photo may be comprised of, for example, a photo of the user's face, a photo of the surrounding background, or a photo of the currently seated table number, and may include a creation date or shooting date corresponding to the photo taking date as metadata. The first GPS location is the location information of the first terminal (210) obtained by GPS. The first search radius may represent the distance or range within which other terminals can be searched centered on the first terminal (210). When the first terminal (210) uses purchase points purchased through a predetermined payment to the service server (100), the first search radius can be increased.

[0044] At least one second terminal (220) executes a pickup mobile application and transmits second real-time information, a second GPS location, and a second search radius to the service server (100) (S12). Here, the second real-time information may be comprised of at least one selected from a group consisting of identification information, gender, age, a photo, currently worn clothing, and currently seated table number information about the user of the second terminal (220). For example, the identification information may be comprised of an ID, a nickname, a name, or a unique terminal number. The photo may include a creation date or a shooting date corresponding to the shooting date as metadata. The second GPS location is location information of the second terminal (220) obtained by GPS. The second search radius may also represent a distance or range within which the second terminal (220) can be searched by other terminals, centered on the second terminal (220).

[0045] Next, when the service server (100) receives a search request from the first terminal (210) (S20), the service server (100) displays a plan position indicator (250) on the screen of the first terminal (210) (S22). The plan position indicator (250) displays a number of coaxial lines centered on the first terminal (210) and displays the second terminal (220) thereon, so that the user can easily recognize the distance and azimuth of the second terminal (220). The plan position indicator (250) of the present invention may display the second terminal (220) using a fixed coordinate system, or may display the second terminal (220) using an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, etc. of the first terminal (210) as a moving coordinate system according to the arrangement direction of the first terminal (210).

[0046] Using the first GPS location and the second GPS location, the service server (100) displays the location (C) of the first terminal (210) or at least one second terminal (220) located within the first search radius centered on the first GPS location on the plan position indicator (250) according to distance and azimuth.

[0047] Optionally, a restriction may be set so that only when at least one second terminal (220) located within the first search radius has a photo of the second real-time information registered with the service server (100) within a recent predetermined period, the second terminal (220) may be displayed on the plan position indicator (250). In other words, a restriction may be set so that the pickup service is available only when the registration date of the photo of the first terminal (210) or the second terminal (220) registered with the service server (100) or the date of taking or creating the photo is within a recent predetermined period. This may encourage users of the pickup service to always register recent photos.

[0048] Referring to FIG. 4, at least one second terminal (220) located within the first search radius is each displayed as a symbol (222) on the plan position indicator (250). The brightness, size, or color of each symbol (222) is visually differentiated and displayed according to the <evaluation index> given to the second terminal (220) by other terminals while using the pickup service up to now, the <number of receptions> by which the second terminal (220) has received the first notification, or the <purchase points> of the second terminal (220).

[0049] Here, <evaluation index> and <reception count> are reputation indexes given by a third party of another terminal while the second terminal (220) has been using the pickup service up to now. Specifically, <evaluation index> is an index that quantifies the evaluation of the user of the second terminal (220) by another terminal (or a third party) that has conducted an online chat with the second terminal (220) upon the second terminal's (220's) acceptance of the chat request. When the other terminal selects the second terminal (220) in the plan position indicator of the other terminal to inquire about the second real-time information of the second terminal (220), a first alarm is automatically transmitted to the second terminal (220). <reception count> represents the number of times such first alarms have been received up to now, and the more <reception count>, the more information about the second terminal (220) is inquired by other terminals. In addition, <purchase points> are points purchased by the second terminal (220) through a certain payment to use the pickup service, and can be used as an auxiliary means to increase the overall reputation of the second terminal (220) when the evaluation index or number of receptions is low.

[0050] The brightness, size, or color of each symbol (222) may be differentiated and displayed by a function that uses the evaluation index, number of receptions, and purchase points as variables. For example, as the evaluation index, number of receptions, or purchase points increase, the symbol (222) may become brighter, larger, or the intensity of at least one of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) may increase. In addition, the evaluation index, number of receptions, and purchase points may be assigned first to third weights, respectively, and the first to third weights may have a relationship as shown in the following mathematical expression 1.

[0051] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0052] 1st weight > 2nd weight > 3rd weight

[0053] Accordingly, the brightness, size, or color of each symbol (222) is most affected by the <evaluation index> given by a third party who has conducted an online chat in the past, next by the <number of receptions> given when searching for information from other terminals, and least affected by the <purchase points> given through a certain payment.

[0054] In another embodiment of the present invention, the brightness, size, or color of each symbol (222) may be differentiated and displayed by a function that uses <evaluation index> and <number of receptions> as variables. In this case, the second terminal (220) may also reduce <number of receptions> by using <purchase points>.

[0055] The user of the first terminal (210) can intuitively check the distance between himself and a counterpart with a high reputation on the plan position indicator (250) through the brightness, size, or color of each symbol (222).

[0056] Next, when a terminal selection event occurs for at least one of the second terminals displayed on the plan position indicator (250) of the first terminal (210) (S30), the service server (100) transmits the second real-time information (214) for the selected second terminal (220) to the first terminal (210) (S34). As illustrated in FIG. 5, the screen of the first terminal (210) displays a counterpart information window (212) including the second real-time information (214) and a chat request link (215). Here, the second real-time information (214) may be composed of at least one selected from a group consisting of identification information, gender, age, photo, currently worn clothing, and currently seated table number information for the user of the selected second terminal (220). When the first terminal (210) uses purchase points purchased through a predetermined payment to the service server (100), it is possible to check not only all information constituting the second real-time information (214) but also additional information of the second terminal (220) through a terminal selection event.

[0057] The user of the first terminal (210) can directly check the other party's appearance before online chatting by identifying the location of the second terminal (220) from the plan position indicator (250) and confirming the other party's face, clothing, and / or table number information from the second live information (214). Alternatively, the user of the first terminal (210) can request online chatting with the first terminal (210) by executing the chat request link (215) within the other party's information window (212) without directly checking the other party's appearance.

[0058] In addition, when a terminal selection event occurs for at least one of the second terminals displayed on the plan position indicator (250) of the first terminal (210) (S30), the service server (100) transmits a first notification (224) to the selected second terminal (220) (S32). As illustrated in FIG. 6, the first notification (224) is displayed on the screen of the second terminal (220). For example, since the first notification (224) is intended to briefly inform the second terminal (220) that someone has searched for information about the second terminal (220), it is preferable that the first notification (224) include only the identification information of the first terminal (210) rather than including all of the first real-time information of the first terminal (210). The first notification (224) is a one-way message for simple information provision, and the second terminal (220) may not be able to respond separately to the first notification (224). The number of times the first notification (224) is received by the second terminal (220) may affect the brightness, size or color of the symbol when the second terminal (220) is displayed as a symbol on the plan position indicator.

[0059] In some cases, the service server (100) may transmit the first notification (224) to the selected second terminal (220) only when the second terminal (220) is located within the first search radius centered on the location of the first terminal (210), i.e., the first GPS location, and further, the distance between the first terminal (210) and the second terminal (220) is less than or equal to the second search radius (or when the second search radius is greater than or equal to the first search radius).

[0060] Next, when a chat request event occurs in response to the second real-time information from the first terminal (210), the service server (100) transmits a second notification to the selected second terminal (220) (S42). For example, in FIG. 5, a chat request event may occur when the user of the first terminal (210) touches or executes the chat request link (215) in the other party information window (212). As illustrated in FIG. 7, when the chat request event occurs, a second notification (226) including the first real-time information (227) and an acceptance link (228) is displayed on the screen of the second terminal (220). The second notification (226) is intended to inform the second terminal (220) that someone has requested an online chat, and it is preferable that the second notification (226) include all of the first real-time information (227) of the first terminal (210). In order to help the user of the second terminal (220) intuitively identify the type of notification, it is preferable that the first notification (224) and the second notification (224) are displayed on the second terminal (220) in different colors or window sizes.

[0061] The user of the second terminal (220) can check the face, clothing, and / or table number information of the user of the first terminal (210) from the first real-time information (227). The user of the second terminal (220) can also identify the location of the first terminal (210) from the plan position indicator of the second terminal (220) and directly check the other party's appearance before online chatting using the first real-time information (227).

[0062] In some cases, the service server (100) may transmit a second notification (226) to the selected second terminal (220) only when the second terminal (220) is located within a first search radius centered on the location of the first terminal (210), i.e., the first GPS location, and further, the distance between the first terminal (210) and the second terminal (220) is less than or equal to the second search radius (or when the second search radius is greater than or equal to the first search radius).

[0063] Next, when an acceptance event occurs in response to the second notification (226) from the selected second terminal (220), the service server (100) creates a chat room for direct communication between the first terminal (210) and the selected second terminal (220) (S50). For example, in FIG. 7, when the user of the second terminal (220) touches or executes the acceptance link (228) in the second notification (226), an acceptance event may occur. The second notification (226) is a two-way message, and the second terminal (220) that receives the second notification (226) may transmit an acceptance event to the service server (100) in response to the second notification (226).

[0064] Subsequently, while the chat room is active or when the chat room is terminated, the service server (100) can receive an evaluation index for the second terminal (220) from the first terminal (210) (S52), and can receive an evaluation index for the first terminal (210) from the second terminal (220) (S54). These evaluation indexes can affect the brightness, size, or color of the symbols displayed on the plan position indicator for each terminal.
