1. A system for providing a taxi service, the system comprising:
an integrated terminal configured to communicate with an operating server that provides a response to a request for a service received from a user terminal through a network, wherein the integrated terminal comprises a vehicle distribution unit, a meter unit, and a navigation unit, and is configured to:
determine, by the vehicle distribution unit, whether to identify vehicle distribution call information by using an operation state of a vehicle and information acquired by associating a boarding location of the user terminal and heading direction information of the vehicle, wherein the heading direction information of the vehicle comprises a heading direction;
calculate, by the meter unit, an operation fee by using GPS information or wheel speed information of the vehicle; and
determine, by the navigation unit, whether an output screen of the vehicle is changed based on gear state information comprising a gear state, the wheel speed information, or information received from an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle,
wherein:
the vehicle distribution unit is an application for performing a function determining the operation state of the vehicle installed in hardware in the vehicle,
the meter unit is an application for performing a calculating function installed in the hardware in the vehicle, and
the navigation unit is an application for performing a function searching a path from a departure to a destination installed in the hardware in the vehicle,
wherein:
the meter unit is configured to:
receive the wheel speed information of the vehicle;
calculate the operation fee of the vehicle by using the received wheel speed information and GPS information; and
start operation fee calculation when receiving information indicating that an alternator is in an on state,
wherein the vehicle distribution unit is configured to:
receive the vehicle distribution call information including the boarding location of the user terminal through the ECU of the vehicle from the operating server:
generate the heading direction information by receiving the GPS information of the vehicle;
determine whether a condition to identify the vehicle distribution call information is satisfied by using boarding location information of the user terminal and the heading direction information of the vehicle; and
identify the vehicle distribution call information when the vehicle distribution call information identification condition is satisfied, and
wherein:
the vehicle distribution unit determines whether an operation state of the vehicle is a state in which a passenger does not board the vehicle and a driver waits for providing the taxi service as the vehicle distribution call information identification condition, and
the vehicle distribution unit determines that the boarding location of the user terminal is located at a side of the heading direction of the vehicle by comparing GPS information received from the user terminal and the heading direction information.
