Here, the SNS media studio 100 refers to a platform that allows an individual to create map data, share it with other users, and communicate freely. The SNS media studio 100 has a function of publishing map data displayed on a map to a user, a function of directly generating a POI based on the published map data, and a person's POI based on SNS with other people. It can support sharing and the ability to search for POIs created by users in real time.

In the present embodiment, anyone can create and register a POI in a horizontal structure through an open application programming interface (API), and provide a personalized map service through a POI layer generated by an individual. In addition, by extending the POI to the object of forming a relationship with an individual, it is possible to form a new concept social network by forming a relationship between an individual and a place (ie, a POI). In addition, a search service for the POI may be provided by implementing an index in a structure capable of real-time searching of the POIs generated by the users.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the concept of social navigation 110 of the SNS structure that can be connected to others through the POI through the POI service supported by the SNS media studio 100 may be defined.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an overall configuration diagram of an open POI search service system that provides a search service for an open POI as well as a service for generating an open POI for social navigation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, an open POI search service system according to an embodiment may be configured as an SNS media studio server 200 serving as a platform shown in FIG. 1. The SNS media studio server 200 provides a web service related to the POI service, and the individual accesses the web service provided by the SNS media studio server 200 through the information registration apparatus 201 in which the communication environment is supported. You can register, manage, share and search. Here, the information registration device 201 is a means for inputting user-generated data for generating POIs into the SNS media studio server 200, and is input to the SNS media studio server 200 such as a PC, a communication type navigation device, and a smartphone. It may mean encompassing all accessible communication terminals.

In detail, SNS media studio server 200 is POI information server 210, POI collection server 220, traffic information collection server 230, SNS providing server 240, POI information database 250, traffic information database 260, an SNS database 270, an analysis server 280, a management server 291, an index server 292, and a search server 293 may be included.

The POI information server 210 serves to publish map data displayed on a map, in particular POI, to a user. Here, the POI is data for displaying the main facilities exposed on the map screen on the electronic numerical map, and may include text information such as a name, an address, and a phone number. The POI information server 210 may provide a user communication environment (ie, an open API) for the user to create an open POI. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the POI information server 210 may publish map data including a POI 301 and a road 302 corresponding to each facility through user communication.

The POI collection server 220 collects open POIs generated based on user-generated data input through the information registration device 201. The POI collection server 220 may recognize a location of interest specified by the user in the map data published by the POI information server 210 and collect the recognized location of interest as an open POI. In the present embodiment, the open POI may include at least one of a static POI, a dynamic POI, and a content POI. Here, the static POI is a POI having a fixed location of interest designated by a user and may mean all existing POIs displayed on a map. In particular, the static POI may mean a POI selected by the user as a POI of interest or in which POI related information (eg, name, etc.) is changed or added. Referring to FIG. 3, a user may generate a static POI by selecting a POI 301 for a particular facility through user communication. In addition, the dynamic POI is a POI whose dynamic location of interest specified by the user is dynamically changed, and may mean a POI designated as the location of another user who allows the user to disclose the location. For example, when a user requests POI registration for a specific friend's location through user communication, the friend's location may be generated as a dynamic POI displayed on a map. The content POI may refer to a POI in which a location of interest designated by a user is located near a road or a road. In other words, the content POI is generated by setting a virtual point on the road, and this virtual point may be a location for collecting traffic information of the surrounding, and provides the user with the surrounding traffic information based on the virtual point. It may mean a point of interest as a criterion for providing various contents. Since traffic information is temporal information, the content POI can be used as one location for collecting and providing real-time traffic information. Referring to FIG. 3, a content POI may be generated by a user setting an arbitrary point on the road 302 through user communication. The content POI can be set manually or automatically, and in the case of automatic setting, at least one singular point among an accident incident region, a region without a Transport Protocol Expert Group (TPEG) data (for example, an entry route of an interchange, etc.), and a retardation region This content can be automatically generated as POI. In this case, the content POI may be used as public information for users located within a predetermined radius based on the specific point or singular point. In addition, the POI collection server 220 may collect POI related information input from a user in relation to the open POI. In this case, the POI related information may be input in at least one of a text, an image, a video, and a voice. In addition, the POI collection server 220 may collect POI related information on the Internet related to the open POI, in addition to the POI related information directly input by the user.

The traffic information collecting server 230 collects traffic information related to a road. Here, the traffic information may mean comprehensively information on various factors affecting the traffic, such as traffic conditions (congestion, delay, etc.), accidents, construction for each road section. For example, the traffic information collection server 230 may collect traffic information directly input by the user in relation to the content POI. As another example, the traffic information collection server 230 may automatically collect traffic information related to a point of interest corresponding to the content POI or an area within a predetermined radius of the point of interest among the traffic information on the Internet.

SNS providing server 240 serves to provide social network information on the Internet related to the user. In this case, the social network information may refer to information of another user who has a relationship with the user (for example, a neighbor, a friend, etc.), and the information of the other user is all information for identifying the other user (for example, open POI). ID, telephone number, email address, blog address, etc. registered in the relevant site of the search service system or the map service site.

The POI information database 250 not only stores and maintains general map data for the map service, but also stores and maintains open POIs collected by the POI collection server 220. The POI information database 250 may register an open POI generated by the user by storing the POI in association with the user who created the POI. In addition, the POI information database 250 may store the POI related information input by the user or POI related information on the Internet in association with the open POI.

The traffic information database 260 stores and maintains traffic information related to roads collected by the traffic information collecting server 230. In this case, the traffic information database 260 may store the traffic information in association with the location information of the corresponding road to facilitate the search and provision of the traffic information related to the content POI.

The SNS database 270 stores and maintains social network information related to a user collected by the SNS providing server 240. That is, the SNS database 270 may store information of another user, which has a relationship with the user, in association with the user.

The analysis server 280 verifies at least one of the open POI, the user who created the open POI, and the POI related information related to the open POI with respect to the open POI collected through the POI collection server 220. That is, the analysis server 280 manages the generation of the defective POI, and may constantly monitor and verify the POI generated by the user. For example, the analysis server 280 may delete the POI by monitoring a case where the POI registered by the user is a facility of a target excluded from POI generation, such as a nightlife. In another example, the analysis server 280 may be a case in which the POI-related information (text, image, video, audio) is out of a predetermined data format, contains a swear word or slang, or includes information related to pornography or spam advertising, etc. You can also monitor and delete the POI. As another example, the analysis server 280 may limit the POI generation and use of the service, such as when the user attempts to register a bad POI more than a certain number of times, or a user who receives a report of more than a certain number of times as a bad user. have. The analysis server 280 may automatically select POIs that do not meet the filtering conditions of the data verification system (automatic verification system) as suspected POIs. At this time, although not filtered by the data verification system, the content suspected of swearing, slang, pornography, spam, etc. may be separately extracted and deleted by the administrator. In addition, the analysis server 280 may manage a bad POI or a bad user by the user's report. After collecting the report of the user for the bad POI or the bad user through the analysis server 280, the administrator can determine the bad POI or limit the use of the service of the bad user. In this case, the POI information database 250 may be constructed as an open POI finally verified by the analysis server 280 and the administrator.

The management server 291 is a server that manages the overall open POI service, and is a personalized POI service through the open POI based on information stored in the POI information database 250, the traffic information database 260, and the SNS database 270. Of course, open POI can be serviced in connection with SNS. In detail, the management server 291 discloses to the user the map data stored in the POI information database 250, in particular, the POI displayed on the map, so that the user can generate the POI through the open API. The management server 291 may publish a POI to a user and provide a web service for generating a POI. When the user generates a POI, the management server 291 may register the POI in the POI information database 250 through an open API. In addition, the management server 291 may provide a personalized map service through an extended POI layer based on an open POI registered by a user. Referring to FIG. 4, the management server 291 may service an open POI including a static POI 401, a dynamic POI 402, and a content POI 403 registered by a user on a map screen requested by the user. In this case, the POI related information related to the open POI may be automatically exposed on the map screen at the same time as the POI exposure, or may be serviced in the form of an image or an audio when the user touches the open POI. In addition, the management server 291 may service the location of another user designated by the user through the dynamic POI 402 in real time. In addition, the management server 291 may connect the traffic information input by the user to the content POI 403, or may serve the traffic information collected in real time through another user or the Internet. As shown in FIG. 5, since the SNS media studio server 500 of the present embodiment uses an open API, even among different heterogeneous devices, an open POI of a user registered in the POI information database 550 may be shared. When a user registers an open POI through a map view on the first device 501 (eg, a mobile device, etc.), it is stored in the POI information database 550 through an open API. Subsequently, when the user turns on the second device 502 (for example, a navigation device, a PC, etc.) different from the first device, or authenticates the user through the second device 502, the POI information database ( The open POI registered in 550 may be downloaded to the second device 502 to provide a personalized POI service in a heterogeneous environment. In addition, the management server 291 may provide an open POI to another user who has established a relationship with the user by linking the open POI generated by the user in an SNS manner. For example, when a user associates an open POI with an SNS method using an open API, the user may share his POI with another user he is following. The management server 291 when a user requests a specific friend to provide his or her open POI, or when a user's friend requests the user to provide the user's open POI, the management server 291 sends the user's open POI to the friend. Can provide. In the present embodiment, since the SNS is basically connected, the POI information database 250 may share the user's open POI to other users as if the mail is shared. In addition, the management server 291 may apply an POI layer received from another user when providing a map service by sharing an open POI among users. Since the present embodiment uses the open API, the user may share the user's open POI with other users who use heterogeneous devices.

The index server 292 generates a search index for the open POI when the open POI is stored in the POI information database 250. When the index server 292 stores the open POI verified by the analysis server 280 and / or the administrator in the POI information database 250, the index server 292 may not only search for a string for the POI stored at the moment of being stored in the POI information database 250. Instead, the index can be implemented with a spatial search structure. Here, the string search may mean a method of searching for POI by directly inputting a search query as a keyword, and the spatial search may mean a method of searching for POI through a spatial query in a map. In addition, the index server 292 has a structure of not only SQL (Hash key), not a structured query language (SQL) -based DB storage method (B + Tree / B Tree) to enable real-time search for an open POI. This can be designed by minimizing the number of disk I / O. In addition, the index server 292 may configure a search index in a structure that enables searching for all information related to the open POI. For example, if the open POI includes POI related information such as name, address, telephone number, location coordinate, type (or category), tag, etc., which is basic information about POI, POI related information The index for searching can be configured with a structure that can search for information. As another example, when the index server 292 includes POI-related information input directly from a user or collected on the Internet in connection with an open POI, the index server 292 may similarly configure a search index with a structure capable of searching for POI-related information. have. In this case, the POI related information may include traffic information related to a road when the open POI is a content POI. That is, the index server 292 may implement an index that searches for all information related to the open POI and the open POI. As another example, the index server 292 searches all POIs stored in the POI information database 250, as well as open POIs, and when a person writes a tip in the POI as well as the POI itself, the comment is also searched in real time. You can configure an index for the POI to be a target. Accordingly, the index server 292 supports indexes so that users sharing the POI information database 250 can search in real time all the information related to the added POI and POI when the POI is added to the POI information database 250. do.

The search server 293 is a server that supports the entire search service for the open POI. The search server 293 is a POI information database 250, a traffic information database 260, and an SNS database based on a search index generated by the index server 292. A search service may be provided for the information stored in 270. The search server 293 basically provides a search environment of various routes so that a user can search for a location of interest with respect to a map service. The search server 293 may include a name (or place name), an address, a phone number, a category, a tag, etc. of the location of interest. A user interface for searching a POI by directly inputting a search query as a keyword may be provided, as well as a user interface for searching for a POI through a spatial query. The search server 293 generates POI information (where 'POI information' collectively refers to all POIs (including open POIs) and all POI related information related to POIs) to be generated in the index server 292. The search index may provide a search result according to a search service. In this case, the search server 293 may reflect the newly added POI information in the user's search result in real time because another user associated with the SNS adds new POI information. As an example, the search server 293 may provide POI information in order of time schedule to provide a list of POIs most recently registered. As another example, when providing a search result corresponding to a search query, the search server 293 may generate the search result by ranking the POI information in the order in which the POI information is registered (ascending or descending). As another example, the search server 293 may link the POI information in an SNS manner to provide a list of POI information newly added from another user having a relation with the user in a timeline form when the user accesses the search service. . In another example, when providing a search result corresponding to a search query, the search server 293 ranks the POI information registered by another user having a relationship with the user among the POI information included in the search result, and ranks the search result. Can provide. In addition, the search server 293 may provide a search service by applying the weight to the POI information by storing the search log in the order of time schedule when the POI information is searched through the search service and analyzing the stored search log in real time. In this embodiment, since all the POIs are opened, POI searches are actively performed by users, and thus a very large number of search logs can be obtained. For example, the search server 293 may provide a real-time search ranking for POI information by using a search log, and may provide a list of POI information most searched by users for a certain period of time, such as daily, weekly or monthly. have. As another example, the search server 293 may provide the POI information included in the search results in order of the search logs in order of providing the search results corresponding to the search query. In other words, the search server 293 may not only display the search results corresponding to the search query in the order of name or administration, but may also display the POI information that is searched for by the users.

Accordingly, the information registration device 201 displays a service screen related to a search service according to a search environment provided by the SNS media studio server 200 having the above-described configuration, a search window for searching, and a search for displaying a search result. Serves as a user interface such as a list. In other words, the information registration apparatus 201 may provide a search window for searching for at least one of a string search and a spatial search for the open POI, as well as a search window for searching various POI related information about the open POI. have. In addition, the information registration apparatus 201 may display a search result of a search service serviced by the SNS media studio server 200 in real time. As described above, the information registration device 201 may display the search results ranked in the order in which the open POIs corresponding to the search query are registered, or display the search results ranked in order of the search logs of the open POIs in the order of increasing. Can be. In addition, the information registration device 201 may display an open POI corresponding to a search query, and display a search result in which the open POI registered from another user related to the user is ranked at the top. In addition, the information registration device 201 may display the real-time search ranking according to the search log of the open POI.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an open POI service method in which a user directly generates a POI and shares the POI with another person according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the open POI service method according to the present embodiment, each step may be performed by the SNS media studio server 200 described with reference to FIG. 2.

In step 601, the SNS media studio server 200 discloses the POI displayed on the map to the user so that the user can generate the POI. The SNS media studio server 200 may support a web service that exposes POIs in a map so that a user may register a POI specified in the map as an open POI.

In step 602, the SNS media studio server 200 may recognize a location of interest specified by the user in the map published in step 601 and collect the recognized location of interest as an open POI. Here, the open POI may include a static POI, a dynamic POI, and a content POI. For example, the SNS media studio server 200 may collect the POI as a static POI when the user selects a POI of interest or changes or adds POI related information about the POI. As another example, when the user generates a POI for the location of a specific friend through user communication (open API), the SNS media studio server 200 may collect the location of the friend as a dynamic POI displayed on a map. . As another example, the SNS media studio server 200 may collect the point as the content POI displayed on the map when the user generates a POI for a specific point located near the road or the road. Here, the content POI may be a location for collecting traffic information of the surroundings or may be a reference point for providing the surrounding traffic information to the user. In addition, in addition to the manual setting method by the user, the content POI may be automatically set and collected for at least one specific point of an accident occurrence area, an area without TPEG data, and a habitual delay area. In addition, the SNS media studio server 200 may collect POI related information directly input by a user and POI related information on the Internet in relation to the open POI. In this case, the POI related information may include traffic information related to a road and may be input in at least one of a text, an image, a video, and a voice. The SNS media studio server 200 may manage the open POI by linking the POI related information to the open POI.

In operation 603, the SNS media studio server 200 may verify at least one of the open POI, the user who created the open POI, and POI related information related to the open POI, with respect to the open POI collected in step 602. . The SNS media studio server 200 may always monitor the POI generated by the user to delete the POI determined to be bad or limit the use of the service of the user who registered the bad POI.

In step 604, the SNS media studio server 200 may complete the POI registration by storing the last verified open POI in the POI information database in step 603. The SNS media studio server 200 may provide a personalized map service through an expanded POI layer based on an open POI registered by a user. In this case, the SNS media studio server 200 may service the location of another user designated by the user in real time through the dynamic POI, or may service the traffic information of the point corresponding to the content POI in real time through the content POI.

In operation 605, the SNS media studio server 200 may search for another user who has established a relationship with the user. SNS media studio server 200 is the information of the other user (e.g., ID, phone number, email address, blog address registered in the open POI search service system is established with the user through the social network information on the Internet related to the user) Etc.) can be collected.

In operation 606, the SNS media studio server 200 may provide an open POI to another user who has established a relationship with the user by associating the open POI generated by the user in an SNS manner. The SNS media studio server 200 may provide the user with the user's open POI to another user according to a user's or another user's request. Therefore, if the SNS media studio server 200 is connected to the open POI by the SNS method, the user can share their POI with other users who are following, and received from other users when providing the map service through sharing the POI between users. Map service can be provided by applying POI layer.

In operation 607, the SNS media studio server 200 may share an open POI of a user registered in a POI information database between heterogeneous devices using an open API. For example, when a user registers a new POI through a map view on a mobile device and then authenticates the user through a navigation device that is different from the mobile device, the newly registered POI in the POI information database 550 is used as a navigation device. You can download and provide personalized POI services in heterogeneous environments.

Similarly, in step 608, the SNS media studio server 200 can service the user's open POI to other users using heterogeneous devices using an open API when other users share the POI of the user through SNS linkage. have.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an open POI search service method for providing a real-time search service for an open POI generated by users according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the open POI search service method according to the present embodiment, each step may be performed by the SNS media studio server 200 described with reference to FIG. 2.

In operation 710, the SNS media studio server 200 generates an index for searching for the open POI when the open POI is stored in the POI information database 250. When the SNS media studio server 200 stores the open POI in the POI information database 250, the SNS media studio server 200 may construct an index with a structure capable of spatial search as well as string search for the POI stored at the moment stored in the POI information database 250. Can be. In this case, the SNS media studio server 200 may construct a search index for all information related to the open POI as a real-time search target. In other words, an open POI contains POI-related information such as name, address, phone number, location coordinates, type (or category), tag, etc., which is basic information about the POI, or is directly input by the user in connection with the open POI or on the Internet. When the collected POI related information is included, the SNS media studio server 200 may construct a search index with a structure in which POI related information can be searched for the open POI. In addition, the media studio server 200 may configure an index so that users who share the POI information database 250 can search in real time the added POI and all information related to the POI based on the SNS.
