Description

Method and apparatus for location-based services The following embodiments relate to methods and devices for location-based services. Recently, the use of map applications on mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices for searching nearby locations, finding directions, and checking real-time traffic information has become widespread. Map applications determine the real-time location of the device using GPS information and provide various services, such as providing information on nearby places like restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and subway stations, and offering route finding functions using real-time traffic information. As the use of map applications increases, there is a demand for the development of technologies to provide various location-based functions and improve the user experience. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a system for location-based services according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method of operation of a terminal using a location-based service according to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining a path object according to one embodiment. FIGS. 4a and 4b are drawings for explaining an example of distinguishing and displaying a first type of path object and a second type of path object according to one embodiment. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the operation method of a server providing location-based services according to one embodiment. FIG. 6 is an example diagram of the hardware configuration of a system for location-based services according to one embodiment. Specific structural or functional descriptions of the embodiments are disclosed for illustrative purposes only and may be modified and implemented in various forms. Accordingly, actual implementations are not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and the scope of this specification includes modifications, equivalents, or substitutions included in the technical concept described by the embodiments. In relation to the description of the drawings, similar reference numerals may be used for similar or related components. The singular form of the noun corresponding to an item may include one or more of said items unless the relevant context clearly indicates otherwise. In this document, each of the phrases such as "A or B", "at least one of A and B", "at least one of A or B", "A, B or C", "at least one of A, B and C", and "at least one of A, B, or C" may include any one of the items listed together in the corresponding phrase, or all possible combinations thereof. Terms such as “first,” “second,” or “first” or “second” may be used simply to distinguish a component from another component and do not limit the components in other aspects (e.g., importance or order). For example, a first component may be named a second component, and similarly, a second component may be named a first component. Where any (e.g., 1st) component is referred to as “coupled” or “connected” to another (e.g., 2nd) component, with or without the terms “functionally” or “communicationly,” it means that said any component may be connected to said other component directly (e.g., via a wire), wirelessly, or through a third component. The singular expression includes the plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, terms such as "comprising" or "having" are intended to specify the existence of the described features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof, and should be understood as not precluding the existence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this specification.
