FIG. 1 is a block diagram to illustrate a configuration of a location-based service system 100 which communicates with a web server 3000 through a communication network 2000 in according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the location-based service system 100 may communicate with other data communication devices such as a web server 3000, through a communication network 2000. The communication network 2000 could be the Internet. The location-based service system 100 may include an information receiving unit 110, and an information adding unit 120, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The location-based service system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 may be operated by a separate server. According to another exemplary embodiment, the location-based service system 100 may be included in a terminal carried by a user, hereinafter referred to as a user terminal. Examples of such user terminal include, but not limited to, smart phones, tablet PCs, personal data assistance (PDA) devices, laptops and media players equipped with wireless communication capability. Such user terminal often includes one or more microprocessors to handle various operations including data processing relevant to the present invention as well as other general operations.
The web server 3000 may be a web hosting server for the user. The user may create multimedia content that will be posted on a web page hosted by the web server 3000. The location-based service system 100 may transmit, to the web server 3000, a set of digital data packets representing information to be added. Once transmitted and saved in the web server 3000, the multimedia content can be viewed by various clients, including the user terminal. An example of the web server 3000 is a server for providing a social network service (SNS) which allows users to communicate and exchange their personal information on the Internet.
The information receiving unit 110 may receive location information corresponding to locations in a route of a user. Here, the location information may be acquired by tracking a location of a terminal carried by the user using a Global Positioning System (GPS). The location information may also be acquired through the communication network. Such communication network may be one of mobile communication networks which includes, but not limited to, 2G/3G/4G networks such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA2000, WCDMA, HSDPA/HSUPA, HSDA+, LTE and WiMAX. The communication network may also be a wireless LAN network such as 802.11a/b/g/n. In this instance, the location information for each location in the route of the user may be stored in a database of a predetermined server. The database may also store a plurality of location information entries for multiple locations for a route of a user, and the database may store multiple routes for a single user. The location for which the location information is received may be the current location of the user. Otherwise, the information receiving unit 110 may receive the location information corresponding to a past location in a route of the user stored in the database through the communication network 2000 in response to a user input. In this case, the user may select location information associated with a particular location by designating the location for which the location information is desired to be received. Also, the user may designate a specific date and time so that the location information and/or location-related information corresponds to the location where the user was at the specific time. For example, the user may desire to acquire location information associated with a location in today's route, or location information associated with a place where the user was at five thirty p.m. The information receiving unit 110 may receive the corresponding location information depending on time information input by the user.
The information adding unit 120 may add, to multimedia content the user created for posting on the web, at least a part of the received location information and location-related information. That is, the information adding unit 120 may add, to the multimedia content to be posted, the received location information, location-related information, or the like, to enable the information associated with the location of the user to be included in the multimedia content without the need of manually entering such information as a part of the content by the user.
When the location-based service system 100 is provided in the user terminal, the information adding unit 120 may operate to incorporate the at least a part of the received location information and location-related information into the multimedia content that the user created in the user terminal. When the location-based service system 100 is provided separate from the user terminal, the information adding unit 120 may operate to transmit the at least a part of the received location information and location-related information to either the user terminal or the web server 3000 so that the multimedia content created by the user can be displayed with the transmitted part of the location information and location-related information.
The terms “multimedia content” and “content” mean electronic data having multiple formats. The terms are sometimes used in contrast to single format data such as text-only, image-only, or audio-only. But in the context of the present invention, the terms “multimedia content” and “content” should be understood to have their broadest meaning, including text-only, audio-only, still images-only, animation-only, video-only or interactivity form-only as well as a combination of such data formats.
Here, the location-related information may be acquired by processing the received location information. The location-related information may also be additional information related to the received location information. For example, the location-related information may include map information on the location corresponding to the location information selected by the user from multiple entries of the received location information. For example, it may be assumed that a route of the user may show the multiple entries of location information in an order of “Samseong Station,” “COEX Atlantic Hall,” “Samseong Station,” and “Pyeongchon Station.” When the user selects “COEX Atlantic Hall,” the information adding unit 120 may add, to the multimedia content, map information on a location of “COEX Atlantic Hall.”
FIG. 2 is a diagram to illustrate a screen that displays multimedia content to which map information 210 is added according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The map information 210 added to the content as illustrated in FIG. 2 will be posted on the web. In this instance, a location 220 corresponding to the location information selected by the user from multiple entries of the received location information may be indicated in the map information 210. For example, if the user desires to post information about a place where the user was at a specific time, the location of the corresponding place may be easily indicated.
Referring back to FIG. 1, the information adding unit 120 may add, to the content, the location information, not only by simply using the map information but also using various schemes. For example, the information adding unit 120 may indicate today's route of the user in the multimedia content which will be posted on the web. Additionally, the information adding unit 120 may add the location-related information in addition to the location information. In order to add the location-related information, the location-based service system 100 may further include an additional information generation unit (not shown) to generate additional information corresponding to the location information selected by the user from multiple entries of received location information, and an additional information providing unit (not shown) to provide the generated additional information to the user. In this instance, the information adding unit 120 may add, to the content, the additional information selected by the user from the generated additional information as the location-related information for the received location information. For example, the additional information generation unit may generate, as the additional information, information about a search result corresponding to the location information, or advertisement information corresponding to the location information. The additional information providing unit may provide, to the user, the generated information about the search result, or the advertisement information. In this instance, the information adding unit 120 may add, to the content to be posted, information about the search result or advertisement information selected by the user. The information about the search result or the advertisement information may be included in the content, or a link to a corresponding page may be set in the content.
In order to generate the information about the search result or the advertisement information, the additional information generation unit may include an extraction unit (not shown) to extract a keyword from the location information selected by the user, and a generation unit (not shown) to generate, as the additional information, a result of searching for the extracted keyword. For example, the extraction unit may extract, as keywords, “COEX,” “Atlantic,” and “Hall” from “COEX Atlantic Hall.” The generation unit may generate, as the additional information, a result of searching for “COEX,” “Atlantic,” and “Hall.” Here, the result of the search may include advertisements. If the user selects a search result, for example, associated with a concert at “COEX Atlantic Hall” from the generated additional information, the information adding unit 120 may add, to the content, the items included in the search result selected by the user, or may set, in the content, a link to a page corresponding to the selected search result.
FIG. 3 is a diagram to illustrate a screen that displays multimedia content to which location information and/or location-related information is added according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 illustrates information added to the content to be posted on the web. A first dotted box 310 may indicate an example of today's route of the user being displayed, and a second dotted box 320 may indicate an example of a link to a predetermined page being set to “COEX Atlantic Hall” corresponding to the location information selected by the user. In this instance, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a link, which is the same as the aforementioned link, may be respectively set to each piece of location information corresponding to the today's route indicated in the first dotted box 310.
Referring to FIG. 1, the information receiving unit 110 may further receive information associated with a transportation apparatus which the user is currently on board or the user desires to get on board, in relation to the route. In this instance, the information associated with the transportation apparatus may be transmitted to a terminal carried by the user via a wireless communication system equipped in the transportation apparatus. As an example, information such as a location of a bus, the number of the bus, and the like, has been recently provided by the bus through a communication performed between the bus and bus stops. In this instance, the information associated with the transportation apparatus may be received through the information provided by the bus, and the like using the terminal carried by the user. As another example, information associated with a taxi may be acquired through a communication performed with a navigation system installed in the taxi. The information associated with the transportation apparatus may be more specific depending on the degree of comprehensiveness of the information service provided by the public transportation.
The information associated with the transportation apparatus that is transmitted to the terminal carried by the user may be transmitted to the location-based service system 100 using a mobile communication network, and the like, or may be transmitted to the aforementioned database of the predetermined server, and then transmitted to the location-based service system 100.
In this instance, the location-based service system 100 may further include a transportation information providing unit (not shown) to provide the information associated with the transportation apparatus to the user. Accordingly, the user may easily acquire information associated with the public transportation such as the transportation apparatus which the user is currently on board, and the like.
Additionally, the information adding unit 120 may add, to the content to be posted, the information associated with the transportation apparatus.
FIG. 4 is a diagram to illustrate a screen displaying multimedia content to which information associated with public transportation is added according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. A first dotted box 410 may indicate an example of information associated with a subway which the user was on board today is added, and a second dotted box 420 may indicate an example of information associated with a taxi which the user was in today was added.
As described above, the location-based service system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of FIG. 1 may be operated as a separate server. Also, according to another exemplary embodiment, the location-based service system 100 may be included in a terminal carried by a user.
