APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FUNCTION AUTOMATICALLY FOR GEO-FENCE, SYSTEM COMPRISING THE SAME AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING COMPUTER PROGRAM RECORDED THEREON

摘要

Provided are apparatus and method for activating a wireless communication function automatically for geo-fence, a system comprising the same, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer program recorded thereon for providing a content by activating the wireless communication function while entering a geo-fence which is a predetermined virtual area for providing the content based on a current location of a user. Thus, it is possible to greatly improve efficiency of a content providing service using a geo-fence by automatically activating a wireless communication function of user equipment according to whether a user enters the geo-fence to receive store information through communication with a beacon or a WIFI AP provided in the store positioned at the geo-fence and transmitting the corresponding store information to a geo-fence service providing device providing a content related with the store to receive the content corresponding to the store information.

主权项

1. An apparatus for activating a wireless communication function of a user equipment automatically for a geo-fence, the apparatus comprising:
a location measuring unit configured to measure a current location of the user equipment to generate location information; a geo-fence receiving unit configured to transmit the location information on the current location to a geo-fence service providing device and receive geo-fence information on one or more geo-fences existing in a predetermined radius based on the location information among a plurality of geo-fences as predetermined virtual areas on a map for providing a content from the geo-fence service providing device; a determining unit configured to measure a current location through the location measuring unit at a predetermined interval when the density of the geo-fence according to the geo-fence information is more than a predetermined reference value to determine whether to enter any one geo-fence; and an activation unit configured to determine whether to activate the wireless communication unit of the user equipment for communicating with the wireless communication device positioned in the geo-fence which the user equipment enters when entering the geo-fence to automatically activate the wireless communication unit while deactivating.
