Description

Method and apparatus of checking seats for pregnant woman The present invention relates to a method and device for verifying a pregnant woman's seat. Priority seating for pregnant women on buses was introduced in 2009 as part of the 'Happy Bus Day' campaign to encourage proper stopping on Seoul city buses, with the aim of showing consideration for pregnant women, who are considered vulnerable road users. Currently, it is widely distributed nationwide on public transportation such as buses and subways. During the implementation process, a problem emerged where early-stage pregnant women, whose condition is not outwardly apparent, found it difficult to use priority seating. Consequently, the system was improved to allow for the identification of even early-stage pregnant women who cannot be visually identified through the use of pregnancy badges. However, there are many instances where passengers seated in priority seats do not yield their seats even when the pregnant woman is wearing a badge. This occurs for various reasons, such as failing to see the badge or intentionally refusing to move, and it is realistically difficult to enforce such behavior solely on the grounds that the seat is a priority one. Furthermore, many pregnant women do not use the badges because obtaining one requires visiting a public health center or a subway desk, and the borrowing and returning process is cumbersome and inconvenient. Additionally, many people assume they can freely use the priority seats as long as the pregnant woman is not nearby, causing pregnant women the inconvenience of having to personally request that the seat be yielded. This contradicts the original intent of the priority seating system, and a system capable of checking the status of the seats in real time is necessary to resolve this. To facilitate smoother access to priority seating for pregnant women, consideration must be given to methods and devices that allow them to check the seat availability and make preparations in advance. FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for checking a pregnant woman's seat according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a device for performing a pregnant woman seat verification method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, detailed descriptions of known technologies related to the present invention are omitted if it is determined that such detailed descriptions may unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention. Furthermore, the terms described below are defined in consideration of their functions within the present invention, and these definitions may vary depending on the intentions or practices of the user or operator. Therefore, such definitions should be based on the content throughout this specification. Terms used in the detailed description are intended merely to describe the embodiments of the present invention and should not be interpreted restrictively. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, expressions in the singular form include the meaning of the plural form. In this description, expressions such as "include" or "comprise" are intended to refer to certain characteristics, numbers, steps, actions, elements, parts thereof, or combinations thereof, and should not be interpreted as excluding the existence or possibility of one or more other characteristics, numbers, steps, actions, elements, parts thereof, or combinations thereof other than those described. In each system illustrated in the drawings, elements in some cases may have the same or different reference numbers, suggesting that the represented elements may be different or similar. However, elements may have different implementations and may operate with some or all of the systems shown or described herein. The various elements illustrated in the drawings may be the same or different. It is optional which is referred to as the first element and which is referred to as the second element. In this specification, the phrase “transmits” or “provides” data or signals from one component to another component includes not only the direct transmission of data or signals from one component to another component, but also the transmission of data or signals to another component through at least one other component. In this specification, the term "server" refers to a computing device in which a preceding step or any part of a step of the pregnant woman seat verification method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented, and may be one or more physical or logical entities. When the server is implemented by being divided into multiple physical entities, the managing entities of each physical entity may be different from one another. Any step or part of the method for verifying a pregnant woman's seat according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by a single physical or logical computing device or distribute
