Method and device for generating novel moving line information based on previous moving line information

A method for transmitting new moving line information by a server, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a terminal, previous moving line information generated based on a movement path of the terminal in a specific space;
• in response to receiving a request for new moving line information for the specific space, identifying the movement path of the terminal and a time for which the terminal has stayed in each area included in the movement path of the terminal, based on the previous moving line information;
• generating new moving line information including information about at least one additional area to visit among areas which the terminal has not visited yet, based on the movement path of the terminal and the time for which the terminal has stayed in each area in the movement path;
• and
• transmitting the new moving line information to the terminal,
• wherein the previous moving line information is based on an identity (ID) extracted from each of wireless communications signal received from signal generators installed in the movement path of the terminal by the terminal, and information about a time of receiving a wireless communication signal corresponding to the extracted ID, the extracted ID corresponding to category information related to a user.

A terminal, the terminal comprising:

• a display;
• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• identify category information related to a user;
• generate previous moving line information based on a movement path of the terminal in a specific space,
• in response to a request for new moving line information for the specific space, transmit, using the transceiver, the generated previous moving line information to a server,
• receive, using the transceiver, from the server, new moving line information generated based on the transmitted previous moving line information, and
• display, on the display, the new moving line information,
• wherein the new moving line information is generated based on the movement path of the terminal and a time for which the terminal has stayed in each area included in the movement path of the terminal identified from the previous moving line information, the new moving line information including information about at least one additional area to visit among areas which the terminal has not visited yet, and
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• receive wireless communication signals from signal generators installed in the movement path of the user terminal,
• extract identities (IDs), from the wireless communication signals, respectively, and determine whether each of the extracted IDs corresponds to the category information, and
• in response to each of the extracted IDs corresponding to the category information, generate the previous moving line information based on each of the extracted IDs and information about a time of receiving a wireless communication signal corresponding to each of the extracted IDs.

A server, the server comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive, using the transceiver, from a terminal, previous moving line information generated based on a movement path of the terminal in a specific space,
• in response to receiving a request for new moving line information for the specific space, identify the movement path of the terminal and a time for which the terminal has stayed in each area included in the movement path of the terminal, based on the previous moving line information,
• generate new moving line information including information about at least one additional area to visit among areas which the terminal has not visited yet, based on the movement path of the terminal and the time for which the terminal has stayed in each area in the movement path, and
• transmit, using the transceiver, the generated new moving line information to the terminal,
• wherein the previous moving line information is based on an identity (ID) extracted from each of wireless communications signal received from signal generators installed in the movement path of the terminal by the terminal, and information about a time of receiving a wireless communication signal corresponding to the extracted ID, the extracted ID corresponding to category information related to a user.
