Abstract

Disclosed are a data collection and management service system and method, which can provide log data used when a customized service is provided, with relatively simplified processes and small resources by deriving log data on many unspecified terminals, such as the number of floating terminals in each collection region at each time zone and information on shops which each terminal visits by analyzing collected data actually collected through a scanning device installed in each region, a data collection and management device applied to the same, and an operation method of the data collection and management device.

Claims

1. A data collection and management device comprising:

a data receiver configured to receive collected data containing collected terminal identification information and at least one of a collection time point and a collection region from one or more scanning devices collecting terminal identification information of a terminal approaching within a preset short range; and

a data controller configured to store the received collected data and derive at least one of a number of floating terminals in a particular collection region at each time zone and information on a shop which a particular terminal visits by analyzing the stored collected data, so as to allow a customized service to use the number of floating terminals in the particular collection region at each time zone and the information on the shop which the particular terminal visits when interworking with the customized service.

2. The data collection and management device of claim 1, wherein the scanning device extracts and collects the terminal identification information of the terminal from a short-range wireless communication based message received from the terminal or acquires and collects the terminal identification information of the terminal from an access point transmitting/receiving the short-range wireless communication based message to/from the terminal, and the collection region is a region in which the scanning device is installed or a region configured in the scanning device.

3. The data collection and management device of claim 1, wherein, when there are collected data of which a collection time point interval is shorter than a preset threshold and of which collectin region is same during a preset collection term regarding the terminal identification information of the particular terminal, the data controller determines that the particular terminal visited a particular shop related to the same collection region and derives visited shop information of the particular terminal including information on the particular shop.

4. The data collection and management device of claim 1, wherein the data controller changes a collection period on which the scanning device in the particular collection region collects terminal identification information according to a collection period change request received from a shop terminal related to the particular collection region.

5. The data collection and management device of claim 1, wherein the customized service includes at least one of a service which recommends a shop opening time and a shop closing time to a shop terminal of a shop related to the particular collection region based on a time zone at which the number of floating terminals in the particular collection region rapidly increases and a time zone at which the number of floating terminals in the particular collection region rapidly decreases which are detected using the number of floating terminals in the particular collection region at each time zone,

a service which recommends, with respect to a large shop including the particular region and one or more other collection regions, a product display layout for each of the particular collection region and the one or more other collection regions within the large shop based on ranking of the number of floating terminals in each of the particular collection region and the one or more other collection regions at each time zone, and

a service which provides event information of a favorite shop to the particular terminal or allows, if the particular terminal visits the favorite shop, a shop terminal of the favorite shop to recognize the visit of the particular terminal based on the favorite shop of the particular terminal detected using visited shop information of the particular terminal.

6. A data collection and management service method comprising:

collecting terminal identification information of a terminal approaching within a preset short range and providing collected data containing the collected terminal identification information and at least one of a collection time point and a collection region by one or more scanning devices;

storing the collected data received from the one or more scanning devices by a data collection and management device; and

deriving at least one of a number of floating terminals in a particular collection region at each time zone and information on a shop which a particular terminal visits by analyzing the stored collected data and allowing a customized service to use the number of floating terminals in the particular collection region at each time zone and the information on the shop which the particular terminal visits when interworking with the customized service by the data collection and management device.

7. An operation method of a data collection and management device, the operation method comprising:

receiving collected data containing collected terminal identification information and at least one of a collection time and a collection region from one or more scanning devices collecting terminal identification information of a terminal approaching within a preset short range;

storing the received collected data; and

deriving at least one of a number of floating terminals in a particular collection region at each time zone and information on a shop which a particular terminal visits by analyzing the stored collected data, and allowing a customized service to use the number of floating terminals in the particular collection region at each time zone and the information on the shop which the particular terminal visits when interworking with the customized service.

8. The operation method of claim 7, wherein the scanning device extracts and collects the terminal identification information of the terminal from a short-range wireless communication based message received from the terminal or acquires and collects the terminal identification information of the terminal from an access point transmitting/receiving the short-range wireless communication based message to/from the terminal, and the collection region is a region in which the scanning device is installed or a region configured in the scanning device.

9. The operation method of claim 7, wherein the deriving of the at least one of the number of floating terminals and the information on the shop which the particular terminal visits comprises, when there are collected data of which a collection time point interval is shorter than a preset threshold and of which collectin region is same during a preset collection term regarding the terminal identification information of the particular terminal, determining that the particular terminal visited a particular shop related to the same collection region and deriving visited shop information of the particular terminal including information on the particular shop.

10. The operation method of claim 9, further comprising changing a collection period on which the scanning device in the particular collection region collects terminal identification information according to a collection period change request received from a shop terminal related to the particular collection region.
