Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of dynamically modifying a boundary region in provision of an Internet of Things (IoT) service according to entry into and exit from a predetermined boundary region based on vehicle location. A method of controlling a boundary based service provision system includes setting a boundary around a destination according to a predetermined criterion, acquiring an entry direction of a vehicle and an estimated time of arrival (ETA) and an actual time required in the entry direction upon sensing that the vehicle passes through the boundary toward the destination, and resetting the boundary in the entry direction when a difference between the ETA and the actual time required is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.
