Abstract

A method of a user terminal is provided. The method includes selecting two gates from among a plurality of gates, based on location information of the plurality of gates and location information of the user terminal, identifying whether the user terminal enters a radio access area on the basis of a value of an included angle between the two gates and the user terminal and, in response to the user terminal being entered the radio access area, selecting a first gate to perform radio access from among the two gates.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of a user terminal, the method comprising:
selecting two gates from among a plurality of gates, based on location information of the plurality of gates and location information of the user terminal;
identifying whether the user terminal enters a radio access area, based on a value of an included angle between the two gates and the user terminal;
in response to the user terminal being in the radio access area, selecting a first gate to perform radio access from among the two gates; and
transmitting, to the first gate, a first request or a second request based on identification of whether the user terminal has passed the two gates,
wherein the first request is for approving authentication or payment, and the second request is for cancelling the authentication or the payment.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a request for radio access to the first gate; and
identifying whether the user terminal has passed the two gates, based on the value of the included angle between the two gates and the user terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the identifying of whether the user terminal has passed through the two gates comprises identifying a rotation angle between a vector from the first gate to the user terminal and a vector from the first gate to the other one of the two gates.

4. The method of claim 2 ,
wherein it is identified that the user terminal has not passed the two gates in response to the included angle being larger than or equal to a specific value, and
wherein it is identified that the user terminal has passed the two gates in response to the included angle being smaller than the specific value.

5. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the location information of the user terminal is measured in real time, and
wherein the location information of the user terminal is periodically received.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the included angle is calculated in real time while the user terminal passes the two gates after the user terminal selects the two gates.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether the user terminal enters the radio access area comprises identifying whether the included angle is larger than or equal to a specific angle.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to the user terminal not being in the radio access area, the selection of the two gates from among the plurality of gates is repeated.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first gate is selected by calculating a rotation angle between a perpendicular vector corresponding to a progress direction of the user terminal in a triangle formed by the user terminal and the two gates and a vector formed by the user terminal and one gate.

10. A user terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
at least one processor,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
select two gates from among a plurality of gates, based on location information of the plurality of gates and location information of the user terminal,
identify whether the user terminal enters a radio access area, based on a value of an included angle between the two gates and the user terminal,
in response to the user terminal being in the radio access area, select a first gate to perform radio access from among the two gates, and
transmit, to the first gate, a first request or a second request based on identification of whether the user terminal has passed the two gates,
wherein the first request is for approving authentication or payment, and the second request is for cancelling the authentication or the payment.

11. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
transmit a request for radio access to the first gate through the transceiver, and
identify whether the user terminal has passed the two gates, based on the value of the included angle between the two gates and the user terminal.

12. The user terminal of claim 10 ,
wherein the location information of the user terminal is measured in real time, and
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to periodically receive the location information of the user terminal through the transceiver.

13. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to calculate the included angle in real time while the user terminal passes the two gates after the user terminal selects the two gates.

14. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify whether the user terminal enters the radio access area according to whether the included angle is larger than or equal to a specific angle.

15. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify that the user terminal has not entered the radio access area, and
repeat the selection of the two gates from among the plurality of gates.

16. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the first gate is selected by calculating a rotation angle between a perpendicular vector corresponding to a progress direction of the user terminal in a triangle formed by the user terminal and the two gates and a vector formed by the user terminal and one gate.

17. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to identify whether the user terminal has passed through the two gates according to a rotation angle between a vector from the first gate to the user terminal and a vector from the first gate to the other one of the two gates.

18. The user terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify that the user terminal has not passed the two gates when the included angle is larger than or equal to a specific value, and
identify that the user terminal has passed the two gates when the included angle is smaller than the specific value.

19. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the location information of the plurality of gates is a pre-received value.

20. The user terminal of claim 10 , wherein the location information of the user terminal is based on location coordinates from an anchor.
