Method for providing mobile service using code-pattern

A user terminal of calling a transportation service identified via a code pattern, the user terminal comprising:

• a camera configured to obtain, at a specific region, an image of the code pattern associated with the transportation service;
• a processor configured to
• decode the code pattern to obtain code information including a service identifier for indicating a service type and location information of the specific region, and to
• generate a transportation call message including the code information;
• and a transceiver configured to
• contact a transportation service provider server corresponding to the service identifier by transmitting the transportation call message, including the location information for the specific region, to the transportation service provider server,
• wherein the transportation call message allows the transportation service provider server, based on geographic location information of transportation vehicles, to identify a location of the user terminal to one or more transportation vehicles adjacent to the specific region.

A method of providing a transportation service, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user terminal and at a server of a transportation service provider, a transportation call message that includes code information from a code pattern;
• obtaining, from the transportation call message, location information of a specific region associated with the code pattern;
• and
• identifying one or more transportation vehicles that are proximate to the specific region based at least in part on geographic location information of the one or more transportation vehicles.

A device to facilitate provision of a transportation service, the device comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive, from a user terminal, a transportation call message that includes code information from a code pattern;
• and
• a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
• obtain, from the transportation call message, location information of a specific region associated with the code pattern;
• and
• identify one or more transportation vehicles that are proximate to the specific region based at least in part on geographic location information of the one or more transportation vehicles.

A method of contacting a transportation service provider, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a user terminal, a code pattern associated with a transportation service provider server, wherein the code pattern includes code information;
• extracting, by the user terminal, the code information from the code pattern, wherein the code information includes a service identifier and location information that indicates a specific region;
• generating, by the user terminal, a transportation call message that includes the code information;
• transmitting the transportation call message to the transportation service provider;
• and
• receiving, by the user terminal, an acknowledgement message in response to the transportation call message, wherein the acknowledgement message indicates that a transportation service request has been made, and wherein the transportation service request is based at least in part on the location information.

A user terminal comprising:

• a camera configured to obtain an image of a code pattern associated with a transportation service provider;
• a processor operatively coupled to the camera and configured to:
• decode the code pattern to obtain code information, wherein the code information includes a service identifier and location information that indicates a specific region;
• and
• generate a transportation call message that includes the code information;
• and
• a transceiver operatively coupled to the processor and configured to:
• transmit the transportation call message to the transportation service provider;
• and
• receive an acknowledgement message in response to the transportation call message, wherein the acknowledgement message indicates that a transportation service request has been made, and wherein the transportation service request is based at least in part on the location information.
