Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SERVING MEDIATION OFFLINE MEETINGS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to brokerage service technology, and more particularly, to an offline brokerage brokerage service method and system.

With the rapid development of communication technology, the use of mobile computing devices such as mobile communication devices has become a routine task. In addition, various solutions have been developed that facilitate scheduling personal or business meetings such as appointments or meetings using mobile computing devices.

However, existing solutions are unilaterally given scheduling for off-line meeting by one party, and the other party must passively select the contact time in a given scheduling unilaterally. In addition, since the scheduling created by one party becomes meaningless over time, the party making the scheduling has to update its scheduling every time.

In addition, existing solutions are not suitable for objectively checking whether a scheduled meeting actually occurred offline, as are existing services that arrange for offline meeting between people via a website or application. In this situation, for example, if people who are not acquaintances (for example, for the purpose of consultation, learning or hobbies) spend their time and have an offline meeting, it is very difficult to leave evidence that It will be burdensome.

The instructions stored in the computer-readable storage medium 320 may cause the processor 310 to perform operations according to the illustrative embodiments, if executed by the processor 310. [ For example, the application 330 may reside on the computer readable storage medium 320. The application 330 includes a predetermined set of instructions executable by the processor 310. The application 330 may be stored in the server computing device 130 of Figure 1 or other server computing devices not shown in Figure 1 that are uploaded from the server computing device 130 or another server computing device to the server computing device. Downloaded from the user 101 of the mobile computing device 110 and stored in the computer readable storage medium 320.

For example, such an operating system could be Apple's iOS or Google's Android.

It should also be appreciated that the processor 360, computer readable storage medium 370, application 380 and interface 390 illustrated in connection with the mobile computing device 120 in Figure 3 include a processor 310, The foregoing discussion of media 320, application 330, and interface 340 may be equally applicable. Further, as with the mobile computing device 110, the mobile computing device 120 may further include various components (e.g., the aforementioned input device and / or output device) not shown in FIG. According to some embodiments, application 330 and application 380 have the same functionality, but different functions may be invoked in application 330 and application 380 as needed.

The mobile computing device 110 and the mobile computing device 120 may be used to confirm the occurrence of an offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102, May be used for an offline meeting reservation between users 102. [

The two users 101 and 102 can initiate a procedure to confirm the occurrence of an offline meeting with each other by activating the application 330 and the application 380 respectively when meeting offline. Accordingly, the server computing device 130 can perform the offline meeting authentication. In particular, such authentication may be based on a first authentication key associated with user 101 and a second authentication key associated with user 102. [ For example, the first authentication key may include a first identity unique to the user 101 (e.g., a telephone number assigned to the mobile computing device 110 of the user 101, a MAC address of the mobile computing device 110, An identity granted to the user 101 to the mobile computing device 110 by the computing device 130). Likewise, the second authentication key may be associated with a second identity unique to the user 102 (e.g., a telephone number assigned to the mobile computing device 120 of the user 102, a MAC address of the mobile computing device 120, (E.g., an identity assigned to the user 102 to the mobile computing device 120 by the user 130).

Illustratively, the procedure for confirming that an offline meeting between users 101, 102 has occurred can be performed in accordance with one of the schemes described below. As shown in the following examples, after a user input is detected at the mobile computing device 110 to confirm the occurrence of an offline meeting between the users 101 and 102, the first authentication key is transmitted to the mobile computing device 110 May be transmitted from the mobile computing device 120 to the server computing device 130 and the second authentication key may be transmitted from the mobile computing device 120 to the server computing device 130.

One of the mobile computing devices 110, 120 outputs a particular signal and the other one of the mobile computing devices 110, 120 acquires the signal

For example, application 330, when executed by processor 310, may cause processor 310 to generate a particular signal (e.g., a signal) in response to user input 301 for acknowledging the occurrence of an offline encounter between users 101, (351). The user input 301 may be made on the mobile computing device 110 by the user 101 (e.g., if the user 101 is a time seller). To this end, the application 330, when executed by the processor 310, may cause the processor 310 to detect such user input 301. Typical examples of user input 301 include various types of actions that a user 101 may take with an input device (e.g., touch-sensitive, such as a touch screen, using a finger and / Operations such as sliding, pinch, tap, double tap, and drag operations on the input device, clicks using a pointing device such as a mouse, hovering ), And drag and drop operations, and writing text using the keyboard, and pressing a key or a combination of two or more keys).

In addition, the application 380, when executed by the processor 360, may cause the processor 360 to obtain the output signal 351. According to some embodiments, the output signal 351 may be a combination of a sonic signal (e.g., a song or other audible signal such as logo music provided by the server computing device 130), a combination of ultrasonic or sonic signals . ≪ / RTI > Accordingly, the application 380, when executed by the processor 360, may cause the processor 360 to obtain the output signal 351 via an input device such as a microphone. This signal 351 may be streamed from the server computing device 130 to the mobile computing device 110 in the user 101 (e.g., if the user 101 is a time seller) Or may be provided to the mobile computing device 110 from the server computing device 130 and played on the mobile computing device 110. [

According to this approach, the application 330, when executed by the processor 310, may cause the processor 310 to transmit the first authentication key to the server computing device 130. For example, in response to detecting user input 301, processor 310 may send a first authentication key to server computing device 130. Alternatively, under control of the server computing device 130, the processor 310 may transmit the first authentication key to the server computing device 130. To this end, the server computing device 130 determines whether an offline encounter between the users 101, 102 has occurred (e.g., that the mobile computing device 120 has obtained the signal 351 output from the mobile computing device 110) (E. G., A notification has been received at the server computing device 130), and in response to determining that an offline encounter has occurred, the mobile computing device 110 has sent the first authentication key to the server computing device 130 can do.

In addition, the application 380, when executed by the processor 360, may cause the processor 360 to transmit the second authentication key to the server computing device 130. For example, in response to obtaining the output signal 351, the processor 360 may send the second authentication key to the server computing device 130. [ Alternatively, under control of the server computing device 130, the processor 360 may send a second authentication key to the server computing device 130. To this end, the server computing device 130 may cause the mobile computing device 120 to send a second authentication key to the server computing device 130 in response to a determination that an offline encounter between users 101, 102 has occurred can do.

In an alternative manner in which one of the mobile computing devices 110, 120 outputs a particular signal and the other of the mobile computing devices 110, 120 acquires the signal

For example, application 330, when executed by processor 310, may cause processor 310 to respond to user input 351 to confirm occurrence of an offline encounter between users 101, Can be output. This user input 351 may be made on the mobile computing device 110 by the user 101 (e.g., if the user 101 is a time seller). To this end, the application 330, when executed by the processor 310, causes the processor 310 to perform the functions of the user input 351 (e.g., a button on the display device of the mobile computing device 110, Click) can be detected.

In addition, the application 380, when executed by the processor 360, may cause the processor 360 to obtain the output signal 351. In particular, this signal may represent a first authentication key. Thus, the processor 360 of the mobile computing device 120 may obtain a first authentication key. According to some embodiments, the application 330, when executed by the processor 310, causes the processor 310 to display the above signal 351 in an optically readable representation (e.g., if the user 101 is a time seller (QR (Quick Response) code generated by the server computing device 130 and provided to the mobile computing device 110 of the user 101). Accordingly, the application 380 can be used by the processor 360 to cause the processor 360 to optically read the output signal 351 (e.g., And / or scanning the QR code using other optical scanners).

According to this scheme, after the signal 351 is obtained by the processor 360, the application 380, when executed by the processor 360, causes the processor 360 to transmit the first authentication key < RTI ID = 0.0 > To the server computing device (130). For example, in response to obtaining the output signal 351, the processor 360 may send the first authentication key and the second authentication key to the server computing device 130. Alternatively, under control of the server computing device 130, the processor 360 may send the first authentication key and the second authentication key to the server computing device 130. To this end, the server computing device 130 determines whether an offline encounter between the users 101, 102 has occurred (e.g., that the mobile computing device 120 has obtained the signal 351 output from the mobile computing device 110) (E. G., A notification has been received at the server computing device 130), and in response to determining that the offline encounter has occurred, the mobile computing device 120 may send the first authentication key and the second authentication key to the server computing device 130).

The manner in which mobile computing devices 110 and 120 output concurrent signals to server computing device 130, respectively

For example, when an offline meeting between a user 101 and a user 102 is made, the users 101 and 102 may receive a gesture that synchronously moves their respective mobile computing devices 110 and 120, (E.g., including a combination of a bumping gesture, a shaking gesture, or a bumping gesture and a shaking gesture). Accordingly, the application 330, when executed by the processor 310, may cause the processor 310 to detect a user input 301 including simultaneous motion of the mobile computing device 110, And output the signal 351 indicating the motion to the server computing device 130. Similarly, the application 380, when executed by the processor 360, may cause the processor 360 to detect a user input 302 that includes a corresponding movement of the mobile computing device 120, To output to the server computing device 130, another signal 352 indicating < RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI > Motion detection using a gyro sensor and / or an acceleration sensor may be employed as a suitable mechanism for detecting movement of each of the mobile computing devices 110 and 120.

The server computing device 130 may determine whether the movement of the mobile computing device 110 and the movement of the mobile computing device 120 are based on the synchronous signals 351 and 352 output from the mobile computing devices 110 and 120 It is possible to judge whether or not it is matched. Further, the server computing device 130 may cause the mobile computing device 110 and the mobile computing device 120 to provide a first authentication key and a second authentication key, respectively, in response to a determination that the motions of the mobile computing devices 110, 2 authentication key to the server computing device 130.

When the server computing device 130 receives the first authentication key and the second authentication key according to a selected one of the above-described schemes, the server computing device 130 generates a first authentication key and a second authentication key based on the first authentication key and the second authentication key, 101 and the user 102 can be authenticated. In addition, the server computing device 130 may send a message to the mobile computing devices 110, 120 indicating the result of such authentication. Hereinafter, an exemplary offline meeting authentication procedure performed by the server computing device 130 will be described in more detail.

A procedure in which the server computing device 130 authenticates an offline meeting between the users 101 and 102

4 illustrates a process for providing an offline contact authentication service according to an exemplary embodiment. The server computing device 130 may perform the process 400 to authenticate an offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102, as illustratively described below.

In operation 410, the server computing device 130 receives a first authentication key associated with the user 101 and a second authentication key associated with the user 102. In operation 410, After the user input made by the user 101 is detected at the mobile computing device 110 to confirm the occurrence of an offline meeting between the users 101 and 102, the first authentication key is transmitted to the mobile computing device 110, May be transmitted from the device 120 to the server computing device 130 and the second authentication key may be transmitted from the mobile computing device 120 to the server computing device 130.

In operation S 420, the server computing device 130 determines whether the first authentication key is received at the server computing device 130 and the second authentication key is received at the server computing device 130 It is determined whether the time difference falls within a predetermined timeout period. When the time difference between the first and second time points exceeds the timeout time, the server computing device 130 sends a message to the mobile computing devices 130 that the authentication of the offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 has failed, (S 480). If the time difference between the first and second time points is within the timeout period, the process 300 proceeds to operation 430.

The timeout time may be preset by the server computing device 130 as used to verify that the first authentication key and the second authentication key are transmitted substantially simultaneously. For example, the server computing device 130 may determine a timeout period based on the processing time of each of the mobile computing devices 110 and 120, the latency of the network 130, the processing time of the server computing device 130, For example, 5 seconds).

According to some embodiments, the first point of time and the second point of time may be measured by the server computing device 130. According to other embodiments, the mobile computing device 110 or the mobile computing device 120 may be implemented as a first point of time, or as a first point of time, 1 authentication information to the server computing device 130. The first current time information may indicate the time of transmitting the first authentication information. In addition, the mobile computing device 120 may send to the server computing device 130 second authentication information, including a second authentication key, as a second time point or with the second current time information available for estimating the second time point And the second current time information may indicate the time of transmitting the second authentication information.

In operation 430, the server computing device 130 determines whether an offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 is reserved based on the first authentication key and the second authentication key. For example, the server computing device 130 may derive a first identity unique to the user 101 and a second identity unique to the user 102 from the first authentication key and the second authentication key, respectively. According to some embodiments, as mentioned above, the first authentication key may comprise an encrypted first identity, and the second authentication key may comprise an encrypted second identity. The server computing device 130 then determines whether an offline meeting schedule associated with the first and second identities (e.g., the schedule where the user 101 is a time seller and the user 102 is scheduled as a time buyer) has already been established . If the server computing device 130 determines that an offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 has not been reserved, the server computing device 130 sends a message indicating that authentication of the offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 failed, To the devices 110 and 120 (S480). If the server computing device 130 determines that an offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 is reserved, the process 300 continues to operation (S 440).

In operation 440, the server computing device 130 identifies a predefined reservation time range for an offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102. [ To this end, in accordance with some embodiments, an offline meeting schedule established between the user 101 and the user 102 may indicate a scheduled time, wherein the server computing device 130 may perform an operation S 440), the reservation time range can be set based on the above scheduled time. For example, if the scheduled time is 2:00 PM on January 10, 3015, the server computing device 130 adds the appropriate spare time to the scheduled time before and after 1:30 pm on January 10, 3015 From January 10, 3015 until 2:20 pm.

In operation 450, the server computing device 130 determines whether the first and second time points are within the reservation time range. If the server computing device 130 determines that neither the first point of time nor the second point of time is within the reserved time range, the server computing device 130 sends a message indicating that the authentication of the offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 failed To the computing devices 110 and 120 (S480). If the server computing device 130 determines that the first and second time points are within the reservation time range, the process 300 continues to operation (S 460).

In operation 460, the server computing device 130 sends a message to the mobile computing devices 110,120 indicating that the authentication of the offline meeting between the user 101 and the user 102 has been successful. Each of the mobile computing devices 110 and 120 may then output this authentication success message to its display device.

On the other hand, the server computing device 130 may provide a time purchase web page for allowing time buyers to purchase the time of the corresponding time seller for each time seller. For example, the server computing device 130 may allocate a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a time-consuming web page for each time-seller, and may provide a time-consuming web page of the time-seller when the web page request is made.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, each time seller can link a URL for his or her time-purchased web page to a personal blog, a personal home page (e.g., SNS home page, etc.), an electronic business card, and the like. At this time, when the visitor (the time buyer or the time purchase person) clicks the linked URL of the time seller and requests the web page, the server computing device 130, as shown in FIG. 6, The web page may be transmitted to the terminal of the corresponding visitor and displayed on the screen. In other words, the server computing device 130 can provide the time-consuming web page of the time seller in conjunction with the URL link generated in the personal web page of the time seller.

Thus, each time the seller links the URL to his or her own time-consuming web page to his or her personal web page (e.g., personal blog, personal home page, electronic business card, etc.) Web pages can be promoted.
