Of course, it is also possible to further include the image sensing unit 101a as in Fig.

Here, the sensing unit 301a senses when the safety device 300 is tripped or when there is a shock from the outside. Therefore, the sensing unit 301a according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably includes an impact sensor. The sensing unit 301a generates a sensing signal for the impact when it is determined that there is an impact greater than a predetermined value, and provides the sensed signal to the terminal 310 through the communication module 301b. Of course, the impact here corresponds to the event occurrence.

Accordingly, the safety device 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention notifies the occurrence of an event to the terminal 310 when it is determined that an event has occurred due to an impact on the safety device 300 through, for example, an impact sensor.

Except for the above points, the safety device 300 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is not different from the safety device 100 with reference to FIG. 1, and therefore its description will be omitted.

Here, the light control unit 310a, the alarm output unit 310b, and a display unit (not shown) for displaying a warning message may be referred to as an event notification unit 410 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, when a signal indicating the occurrence of an event from the safety device 300 is received through the transmission / reception antenna 310c in a wired or wireless manner, such as the communication line 320, the terminal 310 generates a warning signal The warning light of the light control unit 310a is sorted through the generated warning signal to inform the user of the dangerous situation and at the same time the alarm sound output unit 310b can output a warning sound. Furthermore, the terminal 310 can generate a warning message and display it on a display unit (not shown).

However, when the sensing unit 301a is provided as shown in FIG. 3, It will be very useful because it is hard to grasp. Accordingly, when a signal indicating that an event has occurred is received by the sensing unit 301a, the terminal 310 recognizes that an event has occurred in the safety device 300, and transmits a warning signal through the warning signal generating unit 430 Respectively. The generated warning signal may be provided to the event notification unit 410 under the control of the controller 420 and may be output in the form of a warning light, a warning sound, or a warning message.

Except for the above points, the terminal 310 referring to FIG. 3 is not significantly different from the terminal 110 referred to in FIG. 1, and therefore, the description will be omitted.

In the first and second embodiments of the present invention as described above, even if a vehicle failure occurs in a place such as a highway, it is possible to notify the driver of the vehicle following the situation safely, and the safety devices 100 and 300 In the process, it is possible to detect the surrounding situation and install it safely. In case of sudden dangerous situation, loss of life will be prevented.

Accordingly, when the terminal 100 is a portable terminal, it is preferable to include a module for performing short-range communication.

On the other hand, it is assumed on the basis of <Situation 2> of FIG. 3 that the safety device 300 includes a sensing unit 301a such as an impact sensor other than the image sensing unit 101a as shown in FIG.

In this case, the safety device 300 of FIG. 3 moves to the moving area under the control of the terminal 310. This is replaced by steps S501 to S505 for convenience.

The safing device 300 determines whether an event occurs such as a situation in which a collision occurs or an impact is applied from the outside (S511).

If an event occurs, the safety device 300 notifies the terminal 310 of the occurrence of the event (S513), and the terminal 310 generates an alarm signal accordingly to notify the user, e.g., the driver of the event (S515). At this time, notification of an event may include flashing warning light, outputting a warning sound, or displaying a warning message.

According to the first and second embodiments of the present invention as described above, even if a vehicle failure occurs in a place such as a highway, it is possible to notify the driver of the vehicle following the situation safely. For example, In the event of a sudden dangerous situation, loss of life will be prevented.
