Description

Guided information provision system for the elderly The present invention relates to a guidance information provision system for the elderly, and more specifically, to a system that enables a user of the elderly to conveniently receive guidance on how to travel to a destination or call a taxi using a smartphone. Recently, various apps providing route information have been developed and are available to the public for free, so even when visiting an unfamiliar place, it is relatively easy to check how to get there. In addition, since various apps have been developed to enhance the convenience of using public transportation and are available to the public for free, one can accurately check the arrival times of buses in operation from anywhere, and if necessary, call a taxi on the spot. While many people are benefiting from technological advancements in their daily lives, the elderly, who are not familiar with using digital technology, are facing the problem of being relatively marginalized. In other words, while it is possible to receive route guidance using apps installed on smartphones when visiting unfamiliar places, there are many elderly people who are unaware of this fact or do not know how to use the apps. Furthermore, it is easy to see the elderly waiting aimlessly at bus stops regardless of whether the weather is hot or cold, and similarly, it is common for them to be unable to hail a taxi on the street for extended periods. As such, since the elderly who are unfamiliar with the use of digital technology experience significant inconvenience in their daily lives, there is an urgent need for inventions regarding technology that can remove psychological barriers to digital technology and enable them to receive the same benefits as others. FIG. 1 is a basic configuration diagram of a guidance information provision system for the elderly according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram showing the initial screen configuration of a mobile device constituting the present invention. Figure 3 is an example diagram showing a state in which a character is displayed on the lock screen of the mobile device. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating the process of executing a preset function using a character displayed on the lock screen of the mobile device. FIG. 5 is an example diagram showing the screen configuration of a mobile device when the phone dialing function is executed using the above character. The present invention relates to a guidance information provision system for the elderly, The invention is characterized by comprising: a mobile device (100) having a mobile-only app for the elderly installed, which provides route guidance, taxi calling, and bus route finding functions based on input from a user who has run the app; and a main server (200) that collects location information of the mobile device (100) on which the app is run while linked with servers of various partner companies, and provides route information based on user input to the mobile device (100), provides taxi dispatch and notification services, and provides bus route information. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. First, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile device (100) is a smartphone with a mobile-only app for the elderly installed, and is configured to provide a route guidance function, a taxi calling function, and a bus route finding function to the user who runs the app. Accordingly, a user who wishes to use the present invention must install and run the aforementioned app provided on the internet on their smartphone and register as a member, and during the registration process, must enter several types of personal information that are required along with consent to the collection of location information. Additionally, while you can enter a guardian's phone number during the registration process, this is optional, so you can complete the registration without entering the phone number. Afterward, the user can activate one of the route guidance function, taxi calling function, and bus route guidance function by touching one of the various execution buttons displayed on the screen while the above app is running. That is, as illustrated in Fig. 2, since the app provides an initial screen simply composed of several execution buttons instead of a complexly configured screen, it has the effect of lowering the psychological barrier to entry for users, such as the elderly, who are not familiar with using digital technology. Alternatively, functions related to pre-configured commands, such as ‘route guidance’, ‘call a taxi’, or ‘bus route’, can be executed by voice input. Here, the aforementioned route guidance function, similar to the navigation function mentioned in the notice, is a function that generates route information with the user's current location as the starting location and the destination entered by the user as the arrival location
