Abstract

A personal mobility reservation system comprises a user terminal, a personal mobility and a server connected to the user terminal and the personal mobility through a network, wherein the server is configured to obtain user information from the user terminal, to obtain device information from the personal mobility, to generate recommended reservation information based on at least two of the user information, the device information and traffic information, to transmit the recommended reservation information to the user terminal, and to perform a reservation of the personal mobility based on a reservation request signal received from the user terminal regarding the recommended reservation information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A personal mobility reservation system comprising:
a personal mobility that is powered by electricity; and
a server that includes a processor coupled to a memory, the server connected to the personal mobility and a user terminal through a network, wherein the server is configured to:
obtain user information from the user terminal;
obtain device information from the personal mobility;
generate recommended reservation information based on at least two of the user information, the device information and traffic information;
predict a rental time point based on the user information;
transmit the recommended reservation information to the user terminal;
perform a reservation of the personal mobility based on a reservation request signal received from the user terminal regarding the recommended reservation information, wherein the user terminal is installed with applications and/or programs for performing reservation of the personal mobility;
transmit a push message providing a notification regarding the recommended reservation information to the user terminal before an application is executed in the user terminal, the push message being transmitted at a time ahead of a predetermined rental time point based on the predicted rental time point;
transmit list data of the recommended reservation information to the user terminal when the application is executed in the user terminal;
calculate a reservation maintenance time based on a distance from a location of the user terminal to the personal mobility; and
cancel the reservation regarding the personal mobility when a rental signal is not received from the user terminal during the reservation maintenance time or when a cancellation signal of a reservation execution is received from the user terminal during the reservation maintenance time;

wherein the personal mobility is configured to:
transmit the device information to the server; and
receive the reservation to become available for use by a user after the reservation is performed by the server unless the reservation has been canceled.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the server is configured to generate the recommended reservation information based on schedule data and usage history data comprised in the user information, and location information and battery information of the personal mobility comprised in the device information.

3. The system according to claim 2 , wherein the server is configured to set a reservation execution time and the reservation maintenance time based on the user information and the device information when receiving the reservation request signal.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the server is configured to confirm allocation of the personal mobility at the reservation execution time.

5. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the recommended reservation information comprises a destination predicted based on the user information, a driving route to the destination, and an estimated rate.

6. A reservation method of a personal mobility performed by a user terminal, the personal mobility and a server connected through a network, wherein the personal mobility is powered by electricity and wherein the user terminal is installed with applications and/or programs for performing reservation of the personal mobility, the method comprising:
sending user information from the user terminal to the server;
sending device information from the personal mobility to the server;
receiving traffic information at the server;
generating, by the server, recommended reservation information based on at least two of the user information, the device information and the traffic information;
predicting, by the server, a rental time point based on the user information;
transmitting the recommended reservation information from the server to the user terminal by transmitting a push message providing a notification regarding the recommended reservation information to the user terminal before an application is executed in the user terminal and before a predetermined rental time point based on the predicted rental time point;
after receiving the push message from the server, executing an application in the user terminal;
transmitting list data of the recommended reservation information from the server to the user terminal after the application is executed in the user terminal;
sending a reservation request signal for the recommended reservation information from the user terminal to the server based on the transmitted list data of the recommend reservation information;
setting, by the server, a reservation maintenance time based on a distance from a location of the user terminal to a location of the personal mobility;
performing, by the server, a reservation of the personal mobility based on the reservation request signal and the reservation maintenance time; and
canceling, by the server, the reservation when a rental signal is not received from the user terminal during the reservation maintenance time or when a cancellation signal of a reservation execution is received from the user terminal during the reservation maintenance time.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein generating the recommended reservation information comprises generating the recommended reservation information based on schedule data and usage history data comprised in the user information, and location information and battery information of the personal mobility comprised in the device information.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein performing the reservation of the personal mobility comprises setting a reservation execution time based on the user information and the device information when receiving the reservation request signal.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein performing the reservation of the personal mobility comprises confirming allocation of the personal mobility at the reservation execution time.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the recommended reservation information comprises a destination predicted based on the user information, a driving route to the destination, and an estimated rate.

11. A reservation method of a personal mobility performed by a user terminal, the personal mobility and a server connected through a network, the method comprising:
obtaining user information from the user terminal;
obtaining device information from the personal mobility;
generating recommended reservation information based on at least two of the user information, the device information and traffic information;
predicting a rental time point based on the user information;
transmitting the recommended reservation information to the user terminal by transmitting a push message providing a notification regarding the recommended reservation information to the user terminal before an application is executed in the user terminal and before a predetermined rental time point based on the predicted rental time point;
transmitting list data of the recommended reservation information to the user terminal when the application is executed in the user terminal;
receiving a reservation request signal for the recommended reservation information from the user terminal;
setting a reservation maintenance time based on a distance from a location of the user terminal to a location of the personal mobility;
performing a reservation of the personal mobility based on the reservation request signal and the reservation maintenance time; and
canceling the reservation when a rental signal is not received from the user terminal during the reservation maintenance time or when a cancellation signal of a reservation execution is received from the user
