Abstract
Description
The present invention is a system and method for providing location information of a Wi-Fi terminal, such as a smartphone, more specifically, using the access point (Access Point) to grasp the location information of the Wi-Fi terminal, and provides the identified location information to various devices A system and a method for using the identified location information of the Wi-Fi terminal for various services.
Wireless LAN technology, unlike a conventional LAN (Local Access Network) that communicates by connecting terminal devices using a cable, is a network technology that can transmit and receive data without a cable between terminals at a certain distance, and is a standard of technology. There are various technologies such as IEEE802.11, IEEE802.11a, IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g, IEEE802.11n.
On the other hand, in recent years, the wireless LAN is in business and the price is getting cheaper. The basic operation type of wireless LAN is Bridge mode which operates by simply extending the wired LAN to wireless section, and a separate protocol is installed so that authentication and dynamic host configuration protocol (hereinafter referred to as DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) The client and server functions have a function of receiving a public Internet Protocol (IP) address from a public network and assigning a private IP address to a terminal.
In this case, a WLAN access point (hereinafter referred to as an AP) provides a connection function between a WLAN terminal and a wired LAN. In addition to the relay function between the wireless LAN and the wired LAN, the AP has a built-in wired LAN hub so that a wired port can be connected to a printer or a desktop PC which is placed in a fixed location without the need for mobility. Portable terminals such as PDAs, notebooks, and smartphones have a wireless LAN function that allows wireless LAN access.
DHCP is a communication protocol designed to automatically assign and manage configuration information required when using the TCP / IP protocol in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It is defined in RFC1541 and RFC2131. It is a protocol that allows you to centrally manage and assign IP addresses. In the TCP / IP protocol of the Internet, each computer must have a unique IP address to access the Internet. When computer users in an organization access the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each computer. If you are not using DHCP, each computer must be manually entered with an IP address, and if the computer is moved to a different part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP allows network administrators to centrally manage and assign IP addresses, and to automatically send new IP addresses when computers connect to other places on the network.
DHCP uses the concept of "lease", which allows a given IP address to be valid for that computer for only a certain amount of time. The lease time may vary depending on how long the user will need to access the Internet at a particular location. DHCP is especially useful in environments like schools where users change frequently. DHCP can dynamically reconfigure the network by shortening the lease time of IP addresses even if there are more computers than the number of available IP addresses. Provide static addresses for web servers that require permanent IP addresses.
Recently, as the spread of smartphones equipped with wireless LAN technology is spreading, related technologies using WLAN signals are rapidly developing, and one of them is a Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS). The WPS compares the technology of obtaining the wireless AP information, the technology of optimizing the obtained AP information to build the database, the technology of obtaining the necessary information from the user's mobile device, and the obtained wireless AP information and the information in the constructed database. It consists of the technique of getting the position.
However, in the conventional WPS method, the AP information must be collected through field inspection of a corresponding region by using a scanning vehicle for positioning, and the collected AP information must be stored and managed in a database. In addition, since the AP information may change from time to time even after the initial AP database construction, the AP information should be updated periodically and continuously through field visits. However, since the construction and maintenance of the database for the AP requires a lot of time and cost, the conventional WPS method has a disadvantage in that it takes a lot of cost to commercialize and maintain a quality of service.
In addition, the conventional WPS method is only to accurately determine the location of the Wi-Fi terminal, and then inform the predetermined user. This conventional method can accurately inform the user of the location of the Wi-Fi terminal, Since the location is merely a coordinate of latitude and longitude, there is a disadvantage in that it is not suitable for providing various location based services (LBS services) using the location of the Wifi terminal.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a system and method for acquiring location information of a Wifi terminal using a DHCP server, a facility DB, and a terminal information DB, which are infrastructure systems of a wide area WiFi service provider, without collecting information of a separate Wifi AP. It aims to provide.
In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a system and method that can provide the location information of the Wi-Fi terminal to the location-based service system by actively detecting the entry and exit of the Wi-Fi terminal into and out of a specific AP area in real time. do.
