The present disclosure provides configuring a moving path of an advertisement provision device in consideration of an area with a high concentration of subscribers in which subscriber terminals are concentrated and providing an advertisement to the area with a high concentration of subscribers through the advertisement provision device moving along the configured moving path. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A service device comprising: a processor configured to process calculations related to provision of an advertisement through an advertisement provision device; and a memory configured to store at least one command executed through the processor, wherein the at least one command comprises: an identification command for causing the processor to identify an area with a high concentration of subscribers in which a predetermined number or more of subscriber terminals is concentrated based on location information acquired from subscriber terminals; and a configuration command for causing the processor to: configure the area with a high concentration of subscribers as a moving path of the advertisement provision device; and provide, by the advertisement provision device, an advertisement to subscriber terminals in the area with a high concentration of subscribers while the advertisement provision device moves along the moving path. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The service device of claim 1, wherein the configuration command causes the processor to: configure a stopover moving path to pass through each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers when there is two or more the areas with a high concentration of subscribers; and provide an advertisement to each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers by the advertisement provision device while the advertisement provision device moves along the stopover moving path. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The service device of claim 2, wherein the configuration command causes the processor to: determine the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers as an advertisement provision group when distances between the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers are shorter than a threshold distance; and configure the stopover moving path to pass through areas with a high concentration of subscribers within the advertisement provision group. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The service device of claim 2, wherein the stopover moving path comprises: a movement priority for determining a movement order of the advertisement provision device for each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers based on a subscriber cluster type of each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The service device of claim 4, wherein the subscriber cluster type comprises: a fixed cluster area, in which there is a high proportion of subscriber terminals of which locations are changed within the threshold distance among all subscriber terminals within the area with a high concentration of subscribers; and a mobile cluster area, in which there is a high proportion of subscriber terminals of which locations are changed beyond the threshold distance among all subscriber terminals within the area with a high concentration of subscribers, wherein the mobile cluster area has a higher movement priority than the fixed cluster area. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The service device of claim 5, wherein: the fixed cluster area includes a case in which there is a high proportion of subscriber terminals accessing a wireless relay device (AP) among all subscriber terminals within the area with a high concentration of subscribers, and the mobile cluster area includes a case in which there is a high proportion of subscriber terminals which do not access the wireless relay device (AP) among all subscriber terminals within the area with a high concentration of subscribers. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The service device of claim 1, wherein the advertisement provision device is configured to: provide an advertisement according to at least one of a broadcasting scheme of broadcasting the advertisement to the area with a high concentration of subscribers and a wireless relay scheme of accessing the wireless relay device (AP) within the area with a high concentration of subscribers; and transfer the advertisement to the subscriber terminal accessing the wireless relay device. ### Claim 8 A method of operating a service device, the method comprising: identifying an area with a high concentration of subscribers in which a predetermined number or more of subscriber terminals is concentrated based on location information acquired from subscriber terminals; and configuring the area with a high concentration of subscribers as a moving path of the advertisement provision device, thereby allowing the advertisement provision device to provide an advertisement to subscriber terminals in the area with a high concentration of subscribers while the advertisement provision device moves along the moving path. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein configuring the area comprises: when there is two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers, configuring a stopover moving path to pass through each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers; and providing, by the advertisement provision device, an advertisement to each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers while the advertisement provision device moves along the stopover moving path. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein configuring the area comprises: when distances between the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers are shorter than a threshold distance, determining the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers as an advertisement provision group; and configuring the stopover moving path to pass through areas with a high concentration of subscribers within the advertisement provision group. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, wherein the stopover moving path comprises: a movement priority for determining a movement order of the advertisement provision device for each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers based on a subscriber cluster type of each of the two or more areas with a high concentration of subscribers. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the subscriber cluster type comprises: a fixed cluster area, in which there is a high proportion of subscriber terminals of which locations are changed within the threshold distance among all subscriber terminals within the area with a high concentration of subscribers; and a mobile cluster area, in which there is a high proportion of subscriber terminals of which locations are changed beyond the threshold distance among all subscriber terminals within the area with a high concentration of subscribers, wherein the mobile cluster area has a higher movement priority than the fixed cluster area.
