A method of providing a transportation call service with the use of a code pattern, the method comprising:

• receiving a transportation call message including code information from a user terminal, wherein the code information is obtained by analyzing a code pattern associated with a specific region, and wherein the code pattern includes a service identifier for indicating a service type and location information for the specific region;
• analyzing the service identifier and recognizing that the service type is a transportation call service;
• obtaining location information for the specific region location and information regarding a transportation service provider server corresponding to the code information;
• and
• transmitting the location information and the provider server information to the user terminal,
• wherein if the user terminal transmits a transportation call message including the location information for the specific region to the transportation service provider server, the transportation service provider server detects present location information of transportation vehicles which belong to the transportation service provider and transmits a transportation call message to a nearest transportation vehicle located from the specific region.

A method of calling transportation with the use of a code pattern in a user terminal, the method comprising:

• reading a code pattern associated with a specific region so as to obtain code information, wherein the code pattern comprises location information for the specific region and information regarding a transportation service provider server;
• obtaining the location information and the provider server information from the code information;
• and
• transmitting a transportation call message, including the region information, to the transportation service provider server,
• wherein the transportation service provider server detects present location information of transportation vehicles which belong to the transportation service provider and transmits the transportation call message to a nearest transportation vehicle located from the specific region.

A method of calling transportation with the use of a code pattern in a user terminal, the method comprising:

• reading a code pattern associated with a specific region so as to obtain code information, wherein the code pattern comprises location information for the specific region and information regarding a transportation service provider server;
• transmitting the obtained code information to a service provider server;
• receiving the location information and the service provider server information;
• and
• transmitting a transportation call message, including the region information, to the transportation service provider server,
• wherein the transportation service provider server detects present location information of transportation vehicles which belong to the transportation service provider and transmits the call message to a nearest transportation vehicle located from the specific region.
