The present invention proposes a method of providing incident event information sensed by a black box in cooperation with a black box and a smart phone to an external control server through a smart phone.

There is an increasing demand for a service that registers various vehicle driving information collected through a device such as a camera mounted on a black box, an acceleration sensor, a GPS receiver, etc. in real time in an external control server. The invention utilizes a smartphone hotspot and open AP function as a communication medium for wirelessly connecting a black box of a vehicle and a control server outside the vehicle.

That is, information collected in a real-time black box can be continuously transmitted to the control server while the vehicle is operating by using a mobile communication network such as 3G and LTE through a smart phone.

Here, the control server may be a server owned by various service companies that need to collect information related to the vehicle, such as a car rental company, a car sharing company, a car maintenance service company, etc. Hereinafter, as an embodiment, The present invention is applied to a server.

1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of an accident handling system using a smartphone and a black box according to the present invention.

The accident handling system according to the present invention is roughly composed of a black box 100 mounted on a vehicle, an insurance company server 300 which receives accident information from a smart phone 200 and a smart phone 200 carried by a vehicle occupant .

The black box 100 senses an accident of the vehicle, generates accident event information and an accident image according to the occurrence of an accident, and has a wireless module capable of wireless communication such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to interoperate wirelessly with the smart phone 200 .

The smartphone 200 can function as a hot spot and an open AP so that the smartphone 200 can be wirelessly connected to the black box 100 to connect the black box 100 with an external network. Event information and incident images, transmits the incident event information to the insurance company server 300, and generates detailed information about the accident at the request of the insurance company, and transmits the information to the insurance company server 300. [

Then, the insurance company server 300 determines an accident level for the seriousness of the accident based on the accident event information transmitted from the smartphone 200, and requests detailed information about the accident to the smart phone 200 according to the accident level .

Furthermore, a data storage server 400, which is located outside the vehicle and stores accident information for a plurality of vehicles, may be provided.

The interlocking relationship between the black box and the smart phone in the present invention will be described with reference to the configuration diagram of the smart phone and the black box according to the present invention shown in FIG.

2 (a) is a block diagram of the black box 100. The accident determination unit 110 detects an impact applied to the vehicle, including an acceleration sensor, and generates an incident event. The photographing unit 130 includes a camera and the like, or implements image capturing at the time of occurrence of an accident event at all times or during operation to generate image information.

The image processing unit 150 processes the incident event information generated by the incident determination unit 110 and the incident image information generated by the image capturing unit 130. The image processing unit 150 may be a hot spot of the smart phone 200 or an open AP Various information about the vehicle can be provided to the external insurance company server 300 or stored in the data storage server 400 through the function.

The wireless communication unit 170 includes a wireless module according to various communication methods such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for interworking with the smart phone 200 through wireless communication.

2B is a block diagram of the smartphone 200. The smartphone 200 is a communication medium for connecting the black box 100 to the insurance company server 300 by performing a hot spot or an open AP function The incident processing application 250 is mounted so that the incident processing application 250 wirelessly connects to the black box 100 to process incident event information and incident images generated by the black box 100 And transmits the incident event information to the insurance company server 300. In response to the request of the insurance company, detailed information about the accident may be generated and transmitted to the insurance company server 300. [

The incident processing application 250 of the smartphone 200 transmits the incident event information and the incident image to the data storage server 400 and the data storage server 400, Receives the incident event information and the incident image from the smartphone 200 and stores the incident event information and the incident image in a matching manner and generates an upload address for the incident event information and the incident image, Phone 200 as shown in FIG.
