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 (32)

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

an information receiving unit to receive, from a database of the system, location information associated with a location selected by a user of a user terminal and corresponding to a location in a route of the user terminal, the route of the user terminal being determined based on at least one tracked location of the user terminal;

an additional information generation unit to generate additional location-related information using the received location information;

an additional information providing unit to provide the additional location-related information to the user, so that the user selects at least a portion of the additional location-related information to add to multimedia content generated by the user; and

an information adding unit, using the processor, to add the received location information and the additional location-related information selected by the user to the multimedia content generated by the user;

wherein the additional information generation unit includes an extraction unit to extract a keyword from the received location information, and a generation unit to generate, as the additional location-related information, a result of searching for the extracted keyword.

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

3. 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.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the information adding unit further adds the information associated with the transportation apparatus to the user-generated multimedia content.

5. The system of claim 3 , further comprising:

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

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

receiving, from a database of the system, location information associated with a location selected by a user of a user terminal and corresponding to a location in a route of the user terminal, the route of the user terminal having at least one tracked location;

generating, using the processor, additional location-related information using the received location information;

providing the additional location-related information to the user, so that the user selects at least a portion of the additional location-related information to add to user-generated multimedia content; and

adding, using the processor, the received location information and the additional location-related information selected by the user to the user-generated multimedia content;

wherein the generating of the additional location-related information comprises extracting a keyword from the received location information, and generating, as the additional location-related information, a result of searching for the extracted keyword.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the location-related information comprises map information indicating the tracked location selected by the user.

8. The method of claim 6 , 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.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

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

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

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

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

receiving, from a database of the system, location information associated with a location selected by a user of a user terminal and corresponding to a location in a route of the user terminal, the route of the user terminal having at least one tracked location;

generating, using the processor, additional location-related information using the received location information;

providing the additional location-related information to the user, so that the user selects at least a portion of the additional location-related information to add to the user generated multimedia content; and

adding, using the processor, the received location information and the additional location-related information selected by the user to the user-generated multimedia content,

wherein the generating additional location-related information includes:

extracting a keyword from the received location information; and

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