That is, the wireless communication unit 21 receives information such as call request information, for example, service charge settlement information, call request location, ride request time, call request taxi, and the like from the user terminal 10 and transmits the information to the taxi terminal 30 , Information on a taxi adjacent to the user to the user terminal 10, whether or not the taxi accepts a call request, and the like so that a taxi-call can be performed based on the information.

The empty taxi information providing unit 23 transmits the taxi information including the location of the empty taxi adjacent to the user to the user terminal 10 when the call request is received from the user terminal 10. For example, the terminal 10 provides information such as location information, vehicle number, and the like about an empty taxi in a predetermined radius from the user terminal 10 that made the call request. At this time, the size of the predetermined radius may be determined arbitrarily or by selection of the user terminal 10.

Meanwhile, even when the empty taxi information providing unit 23 does not have a passenger on board at the time of receiving the call request, the taxi which cannot respond to the call request by various contracts or the like may be excluded from the information provided. For example, if a taxi is contracted with a specific company as an exclusive taxi from 8 am to 10 am, the call request cannot be received at the above time and should be excluded from the information provision. To this end, the empty taxi information providing unit 23 may store contract information for each taxi, and determine whether to provide the information based on this.

The available taxi information providing unit 25 transmits the information of the taxi determined to be able to respond to the call request to the user terminal 10 even when it is not an empty taxi at the time of the call request from the user terminal 10. That is, the available taxi information providing unit 25 is based on the details of the call request, for example, the call request location, the ride request time, the location of the current taxi, the time required to reach the destination of the passenger currently on board By determining whether the call request can be answered to determine whether to transmit to the user terminal (10). For example, even if the passenger is currently boarding at 10 am, the time required to reach the passenger's destination, if the call request time is 12 am, can be reached by that time, and the call request location at the passenger's destination. In consideration of information such as distance to determine whether to provide information to the user terminal 10.

As described above, according to the server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the effectiveness of the taxi-call service is determined by the specific determination of whether or not the call request can be substantially answered and the taxi information provided by the user terminal 10 is transmitted. Can increase.

7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a taxi-call process using the user terminal 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, when a user executes a dedicated program for using a taxi call service in the user terminal 10 (S10), the user terminal 10 transmits a current position to the server 20, and the server Based on the current location information of the user from 20 receives and displays the taxi information including the location of the taxi located within a certain radius (S11).

In this case, the user terminal 10 may provide the user with a manual search mode for directly receiving a search information including a type of a taxi requesting a call request and a search radius, or an automatic search mode for automatically searching for a taxi. will be. For example, the user may use the manual search mode to add a condition of a taxi that requires a search according to a menu such as searching a private / model taxi, an empty taxi only, or a taxi capable of answering calls within a radius that requires a search. You can search.

Among the taxis displayed on the user terminal 10, the user selects a taxi to call request and transmits to the server 20 (S13). In this case, the user may request a call by selecting only one taxi from the displayed taxis, but simultaneously requests a call for a plurality of taxis, and selects a call contract from among the taxis that first accept the call request or a taxi that accepts the call request. You can also bear.

If there is a taxi that accepts the call request of the user, the taxi-call execution is completed, and specific information such as call request information, for example, a ride request time and the number of passengers, is carried out through the user terminal 10 and the taxi terminal 30. Send and receive

However, if there is no taxi to accept the call request of the user (S15), the user terminal 10 can continue to find a taxi to accept the call request by repeating the steps S11 and S13. Alternatively, the search radius is wider than the existing range and the server 20 is requested to rescan the adjacent taxi, and the server 20 increases the radius accordingly to transmit the taxi information acquired by rescanning the taxi to the user terminal 10. It is possible to increase the number of taxis that can be selected (S17).

If the location of the user who requested the call is a place where the taxi is hard to move, or there is no taxi that accepts the call request among the taxis searched again because of a late call request time (S19, S21), the user terminal 10 The service fee option is provided to the user as one of the information for inducing the acceptance of the call request of the taxi, the service fee settlement information is selected, and the call request is transmitted to the server 20 including the selected service fee settlement information (S23). , S25). As above, the call request including the service charge settlement information may be made to only one taxi or may be simultaneously requested to a plurality of taxis according to a user's selection.

When the taxi accepts the call request including the service fee settlement information (S27), the taxi-call is completed, and the taxi terminal 30 performs the calculation of the fee according to the service fee settlement information selected by the user (S29).

On the other hand, the above steps are not indispensable and may be added, modified and omitted as necessary. For example, the service fee option is provided immediately without going through the step S17 of rescanning the taxi by increasing the radius, or the service fee option is provided from the beginning when the user requests the taxi information adjacent to the server 20. You can also include a call request.

8 and 9 are flowcharts illustrating a first embodiment and a second embodiment of a taxi-call process corresponding to the selection of a service fee option in the user terminal 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the taxi call process corresponding to the service fee option selected by the user terminal 10 will be described.

First, referring to FIG. 8, at least one of a second option among service fee options provided to the user terminal 10, that is, a travel time required to reach the current location of the taxi from the current location of the taxi, and a travel distance. Assume a case when the amount measured on the basis of the basis of the service charge settlement information is selected (S30).

The user terminal 10 can estimate the travel time and travel time required to reach the call request location from the current position of the taxi adjacent to the user received from the server 20 and the travel time according to the travel distance (S31, S33) .

The user terminal 10 generates and displays rank information for each taxi adjacent to the user based on the estimated service fee amount and time information (S35). This ranking information may be used as useful reference information when selecting a taxi to call the user.

In this case, since the amount and time of the taxi may vary according to the movement route of the taxi, ranking information may be provided based on the prediction result according to the movement route previously selected by the user. Among these, the lowest value may be used to provide ranking information.

The user may select a taxi based on the ranking information and request a call to the server 20 including the current location information of the user (S37). The taxi terminal 30 receives a call request through the server 20 and transmits whether to accept the service fee in consideration of the service fee amount according to the service fee option selected by the user.

When the taxi accepts the call request (S39), a two-way connection between the user terminal 10 and the taxi terminal 30 that made the call request is allocated to transmit and receive specific call request information such as a ride request time and the number of passengers on board. In addition, the taxi terminal 30 performs a fee calculation in response to the service fee settlement information provided from the user. If the selected taxi does not accept the call request, the steps S37 and S39 may be repeated (S41).

On the other hand, the above steps may be added, modified, omitted as appropriate. For example, a step in which a user selects a taxi requiring ranking information from adjacent taxis may be added, and the service fee and time required may be predicted only for the selected taxi. Alternatively, if the user selects only one taxi, the user does not need to provide the ranking information. Therefore, whether or not to provide the ranking information may be determined according to the user's selection.

Referring to FIG. 9, a third option for directly presenting a service fee to be paid from a taxi terminal 30 of a taxi to call request among the service fee options provided to the user terminal 10 may be selected as service fee settlement information. Assume the case of time (S50).

By selecting a taxi to call request from the location information of the adjacent taxi received through the server 20, and transmits the current location information of the user to the taxi terminal 30, and requests the desired amount of payment (S51). At this time, it may be requested to present the amount of money to only one taxi, but may be presented with the amount of money from a plurality of taxis, such that the user may select, for example, the user selects the taxi with the lowest amount of money.

And receives the money presented by the taxi terminal 30 through the user terminal 10 and transmits the acceptance to the server 20. If the user is willing to pay the amount of money presented by the taxi, the user terminal 10 accepts the amount of money presented, additionally send and receive various necessary call request information, the taxi terminal 30 to the settled service fee settlement information Follow charge calculation accordingly. On the other hand, if the user terminal 10 does not accept, it will be able to repeat the above steps S51 and S53 (S53, S55).

10 is a flowchart illustrating a payment process in which a service fee is settled when a taxi accepts a call request including service fee settlement information in a taxi-call system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

When the server 20 receives the call request acceptance signal from the taxi terminal 30 in step S60, the server 20 transmits a payment reservation command to the user terminal 10 and transmits a payment corresponding to the service charge settlement information provided by the user terminal 10 (S61). At this time, the amount to be booked is at least one of the amount according to the service charge settlement information, for example, the amount presented by the user to induce acceptance of the call request of the taxi, the travel time and the distance from the current position of the taxi to the call request position of the user. The measurement amount according to any one, may be the amount received as a service fee desired to pay in the taxi terminal 30, and the like.

The user terminal 10 performs a payment reservation according to the payment reservation command received from the server 20 (S63). In this case, the service fee payment reservation is provided by using information about the account number of the bank account to be automatically debited stored in the user terminal 10, or by using a point previously deposited in the user's name to use the taxi-call service. The service fee may be included in the communication cost in conjunction with the carrier.

After performing the payment reservation, the user terminal 10 transmits the reservation information so that the server 20 can confirm the reservation (S65), and the server 20 checks the validity and fact of the reservation, and then the taxi terminal ( In step 30), it is transmitted whether or not payment reservation is completed (S67). Through this, it is possible to determine whether the call service is performed by finally providing the taxi with or without collecting service charges.

The taxi terminal 30 performs a call service in response to the call request of the user terminal 10 (S69), and performs a payment according to the service fee presented in the service charge settlement information (S71). In this case, if the service fee cannot be paid or is not paid, the taxi terminal 30 transmits an unpaid confirmation signal to the server 20 (S73), and the server 20 makes a payment performed by the user terminal 10. The service fee is settled in response to the reservation (S75). When the settlement is completed, the server 20 transmits the payment completion to the user terminal 10 and the taxi terminal 30.
