Patent Images
1. A method of detecting place information in a place information detection system, the method comprising:
- searching for, by a first Bluetooth terminal having a short range communication module that is set as an anchor, a peripheral Bluetooth terminal;
transmitting information of the peripheral Bluetooth terminal that is found by the first Bluetooth terminal to a place management server; and
updating, by the place management server, place information of the peripheral Bluetooth terminal with place information of the first Bluetooth terminal,wherein the method further comprises registering, by the first Bluetooth terminal, the place information of the first Bluetooth terminal at the place management server, andwherein the registering of the place information comprises;
transmitting, by the first Bluetooth terminal, a place name to the place management server;
transmitting, by the place management server, a place classification list corresponding to the place name to the first Bluetooth terminal; and
selecting, by the first Bluetooth terminal, one from the place classification list.

8. A place management server that detects place information, the place management server comprising:
-
a communication unit that communicates with a plurality of Bluetooth terminals having a short range communication module; a member information database that stores place information corresponding to identifiers of the Bluetooth terminals; and a member management unit that updates place information corresponding to an identifier of a peripheral Bluetooth terminal, which is stored in the member information database, with place information of a first Bluetooth terminal, the peripheral Bluetooth terminal being found by the first Bluetooth terminal in which anchor authority is authenticated among the plurality of Bluetooth terminals, wherein the member management unit authenticates the anchor authority of the first Bluetooth terminal and stores the place information of the first Bluetooth terminal at the member information database to correspond to an identifier of the first Bluetooth terminal. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A communication terminal that detects place information, the communication terminal comprising:
-
a Bluetooth search unit that searches for a peripheral Bluetooth terminal having a short range communication module; an anchor setting unit that activates the Bluetooth search unit and that registers place information of the communication terminal at a place management server; and a communication unit that transmits information of the peripheral Bluetooth terminal to the place management server, wherein place information of the peripheral Bluetooth terminal is updated with the place information of the communication terminal by the place management server, and wherein the communication terminal further comprises; a place database that stores the place information of the communication terminal; and a place setting unit that stores the place information of the communication terminal at the place database, when the place information of the communication terminal is received from the place management server or a user of the communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
