Abstract

Disclosed are a system and method for providing flight information. A system for providing flight information according to one embodiment comprises a control unit identifying an airport user, controlling to generate and provide flight information to the identified airport user, receiving a predetermined item or an information request signal within the provided flight information, and controlling a processing corresponding to the received item or information request signal, and an information providing device outputting the flight information and processed results corresponding to the request signal, wherein the control unit controls to provide flight information including visual information respective to entry and departure and airplane flight information linked to the visual information in at least one format of a map, a graph, and a three-dimensional (3D) display, and wherein the information providing device includes at least one of a mobile device of the identified airport user and a previously installed in-airport display device.

Claims

1. A system for providing flight information, comprising:

a control unit identifying an airport user, controlling to generate and provide flight information to the identified airport user, receiving a predetermined item or an information request signal within the provided flight information, and controlling a processing corresponding to the received item or information request signal; and

an information providing device outputting the flight information and processed results corresponding to the request signal,

wherein the control unit controls to provide flight information including visual information respective to entry and departure and airplane flight information linked to the visual information in at least one format of a map, a graph, and a three-dimensional (3D) display, and

wherein the information providing device includes at least one of a mobile device of the identified airport user and a previously installed in-airport display device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the control unit performs control to generate the flight information further including at least one of entry and departure information, air freight information, advertisement information, and route information.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the control unit controls a selected item to be automatically aligned based on at least one of point of departure, point of arrival, time information, airline information, and continent information, and the selected items to be marked differently from other items by at least one of color and size or to be highlighted.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the control unit identifies a user by sensing at least one of an identification including a passport, a plane ticket, and a mobile device through at least one of a barcode reader, a Quick Response (QR) code reader, and a proximity sensor.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein, if the information providing device corresponds to a mobile device of the identified airport user, and a flight information application is not installed in the mobile device, the control unit controls the flight information application to be downloaded.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein, if the information providing device corresponds to the previously installed in-airport display device, the control unit receives and processes the request signal through a touch input.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the control unit controls multiple sets of flight information to be simultaneously outputted, each of multiple sets of flight information being configured to have a different format, to a display screen of the information providing device.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein, if any one of the multiple sets of flight information is accessed, the control unit controls other flight information being related to a request made by the accessed flight information to be outputted by being sequentially modified or aligned.

9. A method of providing flight information, the method comprising:

identifying an airport user;

generating flight information for the identified airport user and outputting the generated information through an information providing device;

receiving a predetermined item or an information request signal within the provided flight information; and

outputting a processed result in accordance with the received item or information request signal through the information providing device,

wherein the flight information provides visual information respective to entry and departure and airplane flight information linked to the visual information in at least one format of a map, a graph, and a three-dimensional (3D) display, and

wherein the information providing device includes at least one of a mobile device of the identified air user and a previously installed in-airport display device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the flight information further includes at least one of entry and departure information, air freight information, advertisement information, and route information.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the flight information is automatically aligned a selected item based on at least one of point of departure, point of arrival, time information, airline information, and continent information, and marked differently the selected item from other items by at least one of color and size or to be highlighted.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the flight information are displayed multiple sets of flight information on a display screen of the mobile device or information providing device, each of the multiple sets of flight information being configured to have a different format.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the multiple sets of flight information are sequentially modified or aligned in accordance with an access to any one set of flight information being related to one another.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of receiving a predetermined item or an information request signal within the provided flight information is performed by a touch input of the information providing device or through a flight information application within the mobile device of the identified user.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the step of identifying an airport user is performed on least one of an identification including a passport, a plane ticket, and a mobile device being registered in advance through at least one of a barcode reader, a Quick Response (QR) code reader, and a proximity sensor.
