Abstract

Provided are a location-based service system and method for generating secondary information. The location-based service system, which includes a processor, may include an information receiving unit to receive location information corresponding to a location in a route of a user, and an information adding unit to add to multimedia content that the user created, using the processor, at least a part of the received location information and location-related information which is associated with the received location information.

Claims

1. A location-based service system including a processor, comprising:

an information receiving unit to receive location information corresponding to a location in a route of a user; and

an information adding unit to add to multimedia content that the user created, using the processor, at least a part of the received location information and location-related information which is associated with the received location information.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the location-related information comprises map information indicating a location corresponding to location information selected by the user.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

an additional information generation unit to generate additional information corresponding to location information selected by the user; and

an additional information providing unit to provide the additional information to the user.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the information adding unit adds, to the multimedia content, additional information corresponding to the location information selected by the user from the generated additional information as the location-related information.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the additional information generation unit comprises:

an extraction unit to extract a keyword from the selected location information; and

a generation unit to generate, as the additional information, a result of searching for the extracted keyword.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the information receiving unit further receives information associated with a transportation apparatus which the user is on board or the user desires to get on board in relation to the route.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the information adding unit further adds the information associated with the transportation apparatus to the multimedia content.

8. The system of claim 6, further comprising:

a transportation information providing unit to provide the information associated with the transportation apparatus to the user.

9. A method for providing location-based service using a processor, comprising:

receiving location information corresponding to a location in a route of a user; and

adding to multimedia content that the user created, using the processor, at least a part of the received location information and location-related information which is associated with the received location information.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the location-related information comprises map information indicating a location corresponding to location information selected by the user.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

generating additional information corresponding to location information selected by the user; and

providing the additional information to the user.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the adding comprises adding, to the multimedia content, additional information corresponding to the location information selected by the user from the generated additional information as the location-related information.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the generating of the additional information comprises:

extracting a keyword from the selected location information; and

generating, as the additional information, a result of searching for the extracted keyword.

14. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

receiving information associated with a transportation apparatus which the user is on board or the user desires to get on board in relation to the route.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

adding the information associated with the transportation apparatus to the multimedia content.

16. The method of claim 14, further comprising:

providing the information associated with the transportation apparatus to the user.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a program for instructing a computer to perform the method of claim 9.
