Description

Calling method for neighboring vehicles using mobile telephone, telephone or internet}

According to the present invention, a consumer who wants to use a necessary vehicle, such as a taxi, an A / S vehicle, an ambulance, or a freight vehicle, uses a mobile phone, a landline phone, or the Internet to connect a vehicle that is closest to the consumer by wire or wirelessly. The present invention relates to a method of directly and directly connecting to a near-by vehicle or a vehicle in need thereof.

Conventionally, in order to call a vehicle by using a telephone, a method using radio broadcasting such as TRS (Trunk Radio System), GPS, Global Positioning System (GIS) or Geographic Information System (GIS), etc. We are using a method using location information.

The vehicle call method using the radio by the radio method comprises the steps of a consumer calling a control center in charge of the call and allocation of the vehicle;

Informing the consumer of his / her location and contact telephone number by voice call with a control agent of the control center;

The control agent broadcasts the location of the consumer to an unspecified number of vehicles as radio waves using radio, and responds to the broadcast among vehicles equipped with radio receivers, and moves to the position where the driver of the vehicle responded to by broadcasting. As a result, consumers use the vehicle.

Since the call of the vehicle using the radio must inform the control personnel by voice of information such as their phone number and location, the call is not made correctly when the communication status is poor or the surroundings are complicated. There is a hassle to inform the number and location, and there is an unnecessary delay because the consumer does not accurately describe their current location, the control personnel must repeatedly broadcast the location of the consumer by radio and the vehicle driver If you do not respond, there is room for broadcasting the same content multiple times and the location of the consumer may be incorrectly broadcasted.In addition, consumers or drivers who are in the vehicle due to broadcasts are sent to an unspecified number. To cause noise pollution Even if any of the vehicle drivers do not respond intentionally, the call of the vehicle is not made smoothly, and there is a problem that the consumer does not know when the calling vehicle arrives and waits indefinitely. Other vehicles may arrive before they arrive, so late arrivals will miss the consumer, and while one vehicle is on the way, other consumers in the same area will not be able to use the vehicle as quickly as possible There is a problem that the consumption of energy occurs by moving to. In addition, when the driver of the vehicle pays attention to the call broadcast to answer the call competitively, the risk of an accident such as a vehicle crash or a collision is increased.

On the other hand, a vehicle call method using a positioning system such as GPS or GIS includes a step in which a customer calls a control center in charge of a vehicle call and dispatch;

Informing the consumer of his / her location and contact telephone number by telephone call with the control agent of the control center;

The control agent consists of telling the customer's location and contact phone number by radio or mobile phone to the vehicle that is closest to the customer's location by GPS or GIS system. Move to make the vehicle available to consumers.

The vehicle call method by the positioning system such as GPS is compared with the above wireless call method, and only one vehicle in a specific position is contacted by using a wireless or mobile phone, so noise pollution occurs. Although there is an advantage of not having to broadcast the same contents several times, the controller has a voice, and the hassle of having to inform the controller of his / her contact number and location by voice. Again, the hassle of having to voice the location of the consumer to a vehicle at a particular location, the problem that the consumer does not know when the vehicle he called will arrive, or the other vehicle besides the calling vehicle may be used. Problems that are missed by consumers and location information systems such as GPS must use expensive equipment. Therefore, the problem of increasing costs still exists.

Among the above-mentioned problems, in the estimated time of arrival of the calling vehicle, the control center or the driver of the vehicle informs the customer about when the called vehicle arrives by telephone, but it solves some inconveniences. It is true that there is a hassle to do.

In addition, in the method using the radio or the location information, there is a problem that the vehicle cannot move to the correct location when the consumer does not properly grasp his / her location. There is a disadvantage that you can not use the vehicle that can not give emergency or speedy.

The present invention is a conventional method of calling a vehicle using a wireless method or location information, a problem that a consumer may give inaccurate information in the voice information to the control personnel, such as their contact phone number and location, communication status Is a problem that the consumer has to give the information several times in case of a bad situation, the hassle that the control agent has to broadcast the same contents several times, the problem that the vehicle call cannot be made if the driver does not answer, the unspecified number The problem is that the noise is generated due to the broadcast being broadcasted to the user, it is difficult for the consumer to know when the vehicle he needs is arriving, and the vehicle must be driven in the empty vehicle because the vehicle and the consumer are not connected correctly. The problem of waiting indefinitely, the driver of the room The safety concerns of listening to the song, the elderly, or the geography of the local area can't call the car if they don't know exactly where they are, and the cost increases using expensive systems such as GPS. In order to solve the problems such as the mobile Internet (Mobile Internet) using a mobile phone, PC (PC, Personal Computer) using the Internet, mobile phones or landline phone only to select the type of vehicle that consumers want to use or By simply entering the type of vehicle and the consumer's telephone number, the vehicle can be called simply.In the case of a mobile phone with location information, it is a cell (cell) base station method. The location of a telephone number can be automatically determined to facilitate the location of consumers. It is simple and quick by connecting the consumer and the vehicle directly by the main server without passing through the control center and the control personnel, and displays the information of the consumer in the called vehicle and displays the information of the consumer. The technical problem is to provide a method for easily determining the problem and to solve the problem of the vehicle call by the other conventional methods.

The consumer using the Internet clicks or selects a link button or an image for sending a call signal to the selected vehicle, and the consumer using the ARS or CTI presses a specific button to call the vehicle (s50);

After performing the above calling step, any one of the direct call step (s60) for allowing the driver and the consumer of the adjacent vehicle to make a direct call or the consumer information sending step (s62) for sending the consumer information to the adjacent vehicle. Let go through;

Then, the proximity vehicle is made as a moving step (s70) to move to the consumer.

The main server connection step (s10) is connected to the main server through the mobile Internet (Mobile Internet) or PC (PC) using a mobile phone, or connected to the main server by a mobile phone or landline phone using ARS or CTI You can take a

The vehicle selection step (s20) is a step that allows the consumer to select a variety of vehicles, such as taxi, after-sales vehicle, ambulance, or cargo moving vehicle, when the main server via the Internet to open the corresponding page It is possible to scroll to the image of the vehicle to select or the vehicle to select, and to move to it.When the mobile server or landline is connected to the main server, the recorded number or the voice modulated by the main server is used to input the corresponding number according to various vehicles. Inform them so that they can choose the number of the vehicle they want.

The positioning step (s30) is a mobile phone capable of locating the mobile phone used when the customer connects to the main server using a mobile communication company's cell (base station) method, that is, a positioning chip (chip) or a built-in program. In case of using the mobile phone, the location of the consumer mobile phone is received from the mobile carrier's database as coordinates or postal code of latitude and longitude, and the location of a plurality of vehicles corresponding to the type selected by the consumer is provided by the vehicle location information provider. Received from the database of the first search and compare the vehicle corresponding to the location of the consumer primarily, if there is no corresponding vehicle loop process (s32) to find the vehicle of the nearest location close to the consumer's location (s32) ) (Not shown) to determine which vehicle is closest to your location,

When the mobile phone used by the customer to connect to the main server is a mobile phone whose location cannot be identified by the mobile carrier's cell method, a PC connection or a landline phone, The phone number input step (s35) (not shown) for inputting the number is performed to extract the coordinates or postal code of the latitude and longitude of the area corresponding to the station number of the inputted phone number from a database built on the main server. In addition, the vehicle is located close to the consumer's location by using the same location method as that applied to the consumer connected to the main server using the mobile phone capable of location. In the Cell method, the location of the mobile phone can be determined by location management using the received electric field strength of the mobile phone, the electric field strength of the received radio wave of the base station, and the like.

In the vehicle information transmission step (s40), the location of the proximity vehicle identified in the step s30, the time required to reach the consumer, and a mobile phone number for contacting the driver of the vehicle are transmitted as a screen or voice on the Internet. .

In the above calling step (s50), a user who accesses the main server using the Internet, clicks a caller in the form of an image or text in which a command to send a call signal to a certain portion of the page displayed in the browser is linked ( It can be configured to select by clicking or scrolling, and it sends out a voice message to the customer who accesses the main server through ARS or CTI to call the selected vehicle by pressing the number of the phone or a specific button. Configure the consumer to call by pressing a number or a specific button.

When the vehicle is called in step s50, the consumer and the driver of the vehicle can make a direct call so that the vehicle can quickly reach the customer's location by real time call so that the consumer can enter his / her location and contact number. The driver of the vehicle can be voiced and the driver of the vehicle can perform a direct call step (s60) that informs the user of the vehicle's location, estimated time of arrival, and a contact telephone number by voice, or the mobile phone of the selected vehicle. It is to perform any one step of the consumer information transmission step (s62) for transmitting the location and contact phone number of the as a short message (Short Message).

Or, the flow diagram of calling a vehicle by accessing the main server using a normal landline telephone.

Referring to Figure 2a, the step of accessing the main server to the mobile Internet (Mobile Internet) by using a mobile phone (s10a);

Move each type of vehicle in the form of image or text displayed in the window of the mobile phone, such as taxi, after-sales vehicle, ambulance, or freight vehicle, with a tab or move the mouse point. Moving or scrolling to select (s20a);

After the step s20a, a location determining step (s30a) is performed to determine the location of the vehicle that is closest to the location of the consumer. The location of the consumer is determined by the method of the mobile communication company's cell (base station). By requesting coordinates or phone number data of latitude and longitude for the location, the location of multiple vehicles of each type is the main server to obtain the coordinates, zip code or telephone number data of latitude and longitude received from the vehicle location provider at regular intervals. Always updates and retains, and among the vehicles of the type selected by the consumer, the vehicle which has the same latitude, zip code and telephone number as the consumer's location is checked first, and there is no vehicle that matches the consumer's location. Performs a loop step (s32a) to determine the vehicle closest to the consumer's location,

Vehicles that display information such as the location of the proximity vehicle, the time it takes to reach the consumer, and the telephone number for contacting the driver of the vehicle in the form of a new page of the browser to be displayed on the display window of the consumer mobile phone. Information sending step (s40a);

When the consumer who has received the vehicle information wants to call the vehicle after confirming the position or the arrival time of the vehicle, the tab or image or text related to the call configured in one section of the display window of the mobile telephone is used as a tab. A call selection step (s50a) for making a call by moving or scrolling and making a click, or by pressing a number or a specific button of a mobile phone;

The next step is to notify that the vehicle called from the main server has been called to move to the location of the consumer. The direct call step of selectively calling the customer's location and contact phone number by voice by direct call with the driver of the vehicle. (s60a) or informs the mobile phone installed in the called vehicle of the consumer's location and contact phone number in a short message, or is connected to a terminal using a mobile phone or a wireless communication network (MDT, Mobile) Performing the consumer information sending step (s62a) to display the information of the consumer on the display window of the Data Terminal), and in the step s62a by adding a step (s64a) to call back (s64a) the vehicle driver and the consumer of the mobile phone You may be able to connect to.

In addition, in step s62a, the SMS confirms whether the SMS arrives safely to the driver of the vehicle by the strength of the received electric field detected by the server of the mobile communication company. have.

After performing the steps as described above, the called vehicle moves to the position of the consumer (s70a), in which the light emitting element is attached to the back of the MDT of the vehicle, and the calling telephone number of the calling consumer is preferably By adding a four-digit number, a means for allowing a consumer to easily determine whether the vehicle is called by the user outside of the vehicle is added.

Referring to FIG. 2B, a method of calling a vehicle by using a mobile Internet using a mobile phone whose location cannot be confirmed by a mobile communication company or using the Internet using a PC is called as each step of FIG. 1A. Although it goes through the same steps, it is not possible to automatically determine the location of the consumer, so it is possible to perform the landline telephone number input step (s30a1) that allows the user to enter a phone number to contact the consumer, thereby identifying the location by the telephone number established on the main server. This can be done by using a database to locate the consumer.

Referring to FIG. 3A, when a consumer who does not use the Internet accesses a main server using a mobile phone capable of locating a location, the consumer makes a phone call and uses an audio response system (ARS) or CTI (CTI). Accessing a main server for providing Computer Telephony Integration (s10b);

Vehicle selection step (s20b) to inform the type of the vehicle and the number button or the special symbol button of the mobile phone corresponding to the type by voice so that the consumer can select the desired vehicle;

Next, the location determination step (s30b) of identifying the vehicle closest to the location of the consumer, where the location of the consumer is determined by the coordinates of latitude and longitude of the location of the consumer's mobile phone as determined by the mobile operator's cell (base station) method. By requesting zip code or phone number data, the location of multiple vehicles of each type is maintained by the main server always updating the coordinates or phone number data of latitude and longitude received from the vehicle location provider at regular intervals. Therefore, among the types of vehicles selected by the consumer, the vehicle with the same latitude and longitude as the consumer's location is identified first, and if there is no vehicle that matches the consumer's location, the vehicle closest to the consumer's location is identified. Performs a loop step (s32b),

A vehicle information sending step (s40b) for transmitting information such as a location of a proximity vehicle, a time required to reach the consumer, and a contact telephone number with the vehicle driver to the consumer as voice;

When the adjacent vehicle is to be called according to a voice instruction, a specific button is pressed to go through the call selection step (s50b).

The next step is to perform a smooth vehicle call by performing the same steps as those of s60a, s62a, s64a and s70a of FIG. 2a.

Referring to FIG. 3B, when a customer calls a vehicle by accessing the main server using a mobile phone or a landline phone that cannot be located, the same steps as those of FIG. 3A are performed. Since the service provider cannot determine the location of the consumer, the customer can perform the landline telephone number input step (s30b1) of inputting the landline telephone number of the place where the consumer is located, and thereby locate the consumer using the location database based on the telephone number established on the main server. This can be done by knowing.

As described above, in the case of a mobile phone having a built-in location function, the mobile phone can automatically determine a location, and a mobile Internet using a mobile phone that does not have a built-in location function, an internet using a PC, a mobile phone or a landline phone. With ARS or CTI, consumers can simply call a vehicle by entering the desired vehicle and their contact number, automatically find the vehicle closest to the consumer, and quickly move to the consumer. Since only the vehicle is called, it does not broadcast to an unspecified number, so no noise pollution occurs, and there is no risk of safety accidents because the driver of the vehicle does not have to worry about listening to the broadcast. I can see when it's arriving You can prepare for your arrival, even if you are not familiar with the geography of the area, you can easily call the vehicle, and you can know whether the SMS information has arrived safely to the selected vehicle. It is simple, since it does not need to go through the control center or the control personnel, it is simple, and the light emitting element mounted on the vehicle confirms that the vehicle is called by the consumer and does not cause confusion and dispute according to the order of riding the vehicle with other consumers. It is effective.
