Abstract

A method of providing a location sharing event for member management comprises the steps of creating an event through a planner terminal, inputting personal information in the planner terminal, sharing an invitation link from the planner terminal to a member terminal, the member terminal participating in the event through the invitation link, displaying a real time shared screen on each of the screens of the planner terminal and the member terminal by starting the event. It is anticipated that the method and system of the present invention can be used to easily check whether the members of a group moving with a specific purpose for a predetermined period of time are moving individually, or to check each other'"'"'s whereabouts in the case they are divided into smaller groups, or to check whether they are on the right track and such.

Claims

1. A method of providing a location sharing event for member management, comprising:

(a) creating an event through a planner terminal;

(b) inputting personal information in the planner terminal;

(c) sharing an invitation link from the planner terminal to a member terminal;

(d) the member terminal participating in the event as the member terminal receives the invitation link and inputs personal information of the member terminal;

(e) editing a grouping state of the planner terminal and the member terminal to set at least two leader terminals before the event starts, and displaying a real time shared screen on each of the screens of the planner terminal and the member terminal by starting the event;

(f) determining whether a PTT (push to talk) function is in an activated state; and

(g) in the case where the PTT function is activated, transmitting a voice data through a communications network from any one of the at least two leader terminals, and transmitting the voice data from a server to another one of the at least two terminals,

wherein location information of the at least two leader terminals are displayed simultaneously on the real time shared screen.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein step (a) comprises the steps of,

(a1) inputting a name of the event through the planner terminal;

and

(a2) inputting a start date and end date of the event through the planner terminal.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein while the location Information of the at least two leader terminals is displayed simultaneously on the real time shared screen, they are displayed differently based on their connection state with a server.

4. A system of providing a location sharing event for member management comprising:

a planner terminal;

at least one member terminal invited to an event created by the planner terminal; and

a server communicable with the planner terminal and the member terminal through a communications network,

wherein the server includes a connection management module, service management module, and a voice authority management module, and

the member terminal gets to participate in the event when the member terminal receives the invitation link and inputs personal information of the member terminal, and by the editing of a grouping state of the planner terminal and the member terminal, at least two leader terminals are set, and

location information of each of the at least two leader terminals are configured by the server and displayed simultaneously, and

the voice authority management module determines whether a PTT (push to talk) function is in an activated state, and if the PTT function is activated, a voice data is transmitted through a communications network from any one of the at least two leader terminals, and the voice data is transmitted from the server to another one of the at least two leader terminals.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the service management module manages a service list including at least one of a service event list, a login, map location information, a voice relay, an event information provision, and a participant information provision service.
