The present invention relates to an LBS system in which user location information is obtained using a ULID code of RFID tags attached to various places such as a building, a store, road signs, footway and road, and various LBSs are provided based on the location information. The problems that can be caused when using a conventional GPS and a wireless network are solved. It is easy to immediately obtain location information through a tag and security of private information can be enhanced. The LBS system of the present invention of the present invention includes: a plurality of RFID tags distributed on various places, for wirelessly providing a ULID code of a location; an RFID reader for wirelessly receiving the ULID code from an adjacent RFID tag; a local ULID processor for extracting current location information through a wirelessly received ULID code; and a local LBS application for providing a user with an LBS on the basis of the extracted location information.

ULID data structure, ULID-based location acquisition method and location-based service system

Disclosed is a spatial image information method and system for rapid and efficient storage in a relation type database and retrieval and management of spatial images acquired by a combined system of a global positioning system (GPS), an inertial navigation system (INS), and an image acquisition device (i.e., CCD camera). The spatial image acquired by the GPS/INS/CCD camera combined system is combined with an exterior orientation composed of a camera position (x,y,z), accelerated velocity, slope and direction at the moment the image is acquired and an interior orientation acquired by a camera calibration, so that calculation of a specified spatial coordinate information becomes possible. The spatial image information system includes a section for efficiently storing a chain of still spatial image sequences acquired by the GPS/INS/CCD camera combined system, the exterior orientation, and the interior orientation in the relation type database, a section for storing spatial information recognized as the same object by a user as maintaining the relationship with the stored still spatial image sequences, a section for efficiently retrieving images that satisfy a certain spatial information operation from the still spatial image sequences, and an interface section for external systems.
