Abstract

Recently, tourism is one of future promising industries having high developing possibilities, so many countries have developed tour resources and tried to attract foreign tourists using the resources. Many researches and attempts have tried to apply for tourism using various technologies such as GPS and RFID. However, the applying areas have been highly restricted to the technology providing contents on the spot for independent tourists. Therefore, this paper designed and implemented "Intelligent Tour Guide System (ITGS)" using GPS and ZigBee. The ITGS is for group tourists, and provides various functions for enjoying their tours in limited schedules.

최근 관광산업은 높은 성장잠재력을 지닌 미래 유망산업중의 하나로써, 전 세계 많은 나라들은 다양한 관광자원을 개발하여 외국인 관광객을 유치하는데 노력하고 있다. GPS (Global Positioning System)와 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)와 같은 다양한 기술들을 이용하여 관광산업에 적용하고 있으나, 대부분의 제공되는 분야가 개별 관광객을 위한 현장에서의 콘텐츠 제공 기술로 매우 한정적이었다. 이에 본 논문에서 단체 관광객을 위한 GPS와 ZigBee 기술을 이용한 Intelligent Tour Guide System (ITGS)을 설계, 구현하였다. 이 지능형 관광 가이드 시스템은 단체 관광객들을 위한 시스템으로, 제한된 스케쥴을 최대한 활용하여 관광을 즐길 수 있도록 다양한 기능을 제공한다.
