Abstract
A tag location guiding method and a tag location guiding system for communication terminals that enable guiding of tag location during reception of tag information are disclosed. The tag location guiding method for communication terminals includes: recognizing, upon reception of tag information, a guide level set in correspondence to the tag information; and outputting, if previously set location guide data according to the recognized guide level is present, the set location guide data. Accordingly, a user of a communication terminal can accurately obtain a situation through location guide data.
Claims19
A tag location guiding method for a communication terminal comprising:
- receiving, at the communication terminal, tag information for identifying a tag, the communication terminal storing at least one of a plurality of guide level data classified corresponding to a plurality of distances between the communication terminal and the tag, and a plurality of location guide data for explaining a location of the tag corresponding to each of the guide level data, the location guide data comprising textual information or audio information associated with an item on which the tag is mounted;
- determining, at the communication terminal, one of the guide level data corresponding to the tag information by calculating the distance from the communication terminal to the tag;
- outputting, at the communication terminal, the location guide data corresponding to the determined guide level data;
- and
- transmitting, at the communication terminal, transmission data corresponding to the determined guide level to at least one other communication terminal.
A tag location guiding system for communication terminals comprising:
- a tag configured to store a tag information for identifying the tag;
- and
- a communication terminal comprising:
- a reader unit configured to receive the tag information;
- a memory configured to store at least one of a plurality of guide level data classified corresponding to a plurality of distances between the communication terminal and the tag and a plurality of location guide data for explaining a location of the tag corresponding to each of the guide level data, the location guide data comprising textual or audio information associated with an item on which the tag is mounted;
- and
- a control unit configured to determine, upon reception of the tag information, one of the guide level data corresponding to the received tag information by calculating the distance from the communication terminal to the tag, output the location guide data corresponding to the determined guide level data.
Code embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, when executed by at least one processor, configured to perform at least the following:
- receive, at a communication terminal, tag information for identifying a tag, the communication terminal storing a at least one of plurality of guide level data classified corresponding to a plurality of distances between the communication terminal and the tag, and a plurality of location guide data for explaining a location of the tag corresponding to each of the guide level data, the location guide data comprising textual or audio information associated with an item on which the tag is mounted;
- determine, at the communication terminal, one of the guide level data corresponding to the tag information by calculating the distance from the communication terminal to the tag;
- output, at the communication terminal, the location guide data corresponding to the determined guide level data.
