The communication networks 61 and 63 may be a 3G network, a 4G network or an LTE network.

A control method which is an operation of the vehicle accident notification system having such a structure will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 6. Fig.

3, the vehicle terminal 10 is connected to the user terminal 20 at the start of the running of the vehicle, so that the communication between the vehicle terminal 10 and the user terminal 20 is possible. the operation of the vehicle terminal 10 that detects whether the vehicle is in a pairing state will be described.

First, when the operation of the vehicle terminal is started from the power source provided by the vehicle starting operation or the power provided from the power source installed in itself, the operation of the first operation control unit 120 of the vehicle terminal 10 is also started (S10 ).

When the operation of the first operation control unit 120 starts (S10), the first operation control unit 120 receives the detection signals output from the acceleration sensor 111 and the angular velocity sensor 112 of the first accident detection unit 110 To determine whether the vehicle is currently in a running state.

Accordingly, the first operation control unit 120 reads the detection signals output from the acceleration sensor 111 and the angular velocity sensor 112 of the first failure detection unit 110 (S11), and outputs the output of the acceleration sensor 111 The magnitude of the acceleration of the vehicle determined by the signal and the magnitude of the angular velocity of the vehicle determined by the output signal of the angular velocity sensor 112 are determined (S12).

Next, the first operation control unit 120 compares the magnitude of the determined acceleration and the magnitude of the angular velocity with the magnitude of the first set acceleration and the magnitude of the first set angular velocity, respectively, and determines whether the determined magnitude is equal to or greater than the first set magnitude And determines whether the angular velocity magnitude is equal to or greater than the first angular velocity magnitude (S13).

At this time, the magnitude of the first set acceleration and the magnitude of the first set angular velocity are set so that the vehicle is not subjected to a rapid acceleration or deceleration and is applied to a vehicle that occurs when a normal driving is performed at a set speed (for example, 40 km / h to 70 km / h) It can be judged in consideration of the impact and the shaking state.

If the determined acceleration magnitude and the angular velocity magnitude are equal to or greater than the first set acceleration and the magnitude of the first set angular velocity, respectively, the first motion control unit 120 determines the current vehicle state as the driving state (S14).

However, when at least one of the determined acceleration and the magnitude of the angular velocity is smaller than the first set acceleration and the first set angular velocity, the first motion control unit 120 determines that the current vehicle is not in the current road It is determined that the vehicle is in the running state (S15).

If it is determined that the vehicle state is the running state (S14), the first operation control section 120 determines whether the vehicle terminal 10 is in a state of being paired with the user terminal 20 to operate the vehicle accident notification system.

However, if it is determined that the vehicle is in the non-running state (S14), the first operation control unit 120 proceeds to step S11 to determine whether the vehicle is in the running state.

If it is determined that the vehicle is in the running state, the first operation control unit 120 determines whether a pairing state notification signal such as a beacon signal is received from the user terminal 20 within the set time (S16, S17).

The pairing state notification signal is a signal transmitted from the user terminal 20 to the vehicle terminal 10 to notify that the pairing state is normally maintained when the vehicle terminal 10 and the user terminal 20 are in a state of being paired with each other .

When the pairing status notification signal is normally received from the user terminal 20 to the vehicle terminal 10, the vehicle terminal 10 transmits an acknowledgment signal (ACK signal) to the user terminal 20 so that the user terminal 20 It is possible to confirm that the state of pairing with the vehicle terminal 10 is normally maintained.

Accordingly, the first wireless communication unit 140 and the second wireless communication unit 240 are normally activated and the first wireless communication unit 140 and the second wireless communication unit 240 are used to connect the vehicle terminal 10 and the user terminal 20, The vehicle terminal 10 and the user terminal 20 periodically transmit a pairing status notification signal and a reception acknowledgment signal.

When a pairing state notification signal is received from the user terminal 20 through the second and first wireless communication units 240 and 140 within the set time period (S16 and S17), the first operation control unit 120 determines that the current state To the user terminal (20).

Accordingly, the first operation control unit 120 reads the unique vehicle terminal identification number such as a MAC address from the storage unit 130 together with the reception acknowledgment signal to the user terminal 20, To the user terminal 20 (S18).

Accordingly, the user terminal 20 recognizes that the user terminal 20 normally maintains a pairing state with the vehicle terminal 10 using the reception confirmation signal received through the second wireless communication unit 240, and uses the vehicle terminal identification number And recognizes the vehicle terminal 10 maintaining the state of pairing with itself. At this time, the user terminal 20 stores the vehicle terminal identification number transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10 in the storage unit 230 so that the vehicle terminal 10 that is currently in the pairing state with the vehicle terminal 10 can be recognized.

However, if the pairing status notification signal is not received within the set time, the first operation control unit 120 does not operate the first wireless communication unit 140 and normally determines that the communication connection with the user terminal 20 is not established .

Accordingly, the first operation control unit 120 outputs a driving signal to the warning unit 150 to realize the pairing state with the user terminal 20 (S19), and drives the warning unit 150. [

When the warning unit 150 is operated by the first operation control unit 120 as described above, the occupant of the vehicle in which the vehicle terminal 10 is installed is not paired with the vehicle terminal 10 and the corresponding user terminal 20 It is recognized that the vehicle accident notification system is not operating normally

Accordingly, the user of the vehicle terminal 10 activates the first wireless communication unit 140 in the operating state, and makes the pairing state in which the communication with the user terminal 20 is performed.

4, the vehicle terminal 10 periodically transmits a pairing status notification signal and a reception confirmation signal between the vehicle terminal 10 and the user terminal 20, 10 and the user terminal 20 is normally maintained.

4, a pairing status notification signal and an acknowledgment signal are also periodically transmitted between the user terminal 20 and the control server 30 so that the pairing status between the user terminal 20 and the control server 30 is normally . At this time, the user terminal 20 transmits the vehicle terminal identification number transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10 to the control server 30 so that it can identify the vehicle terminal 10 which maintains the paired state.

Next, the operation of the vehicle terminal 10 and the user terminal 20 for determining whether an accident has occurred in the vehicle will be described with reference to Figs. 5A and 5B.

First, the operation of the vehicle terminal 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

When the operation of the first operation control unit 120 of the vehicle terminal 10 for determining whether or not an accident has occurred is started (S210), the first operation control unit 120 detects the acceleration sensor 111 of the first accident detection unit 110, And the angular velocity sensor 112 determines the magnitude of the acceleration of the vehicle determined by the output signal of the acceleration sensor 111 and the output signal of the angular velocity sensor 112, (S212).

Next, the first operation controller 120 compares the magnitude of the determined acceleration and the magnitude of the angular velocity with the magnitude of the second set acceleration and the magnitude of the second set angular velocity, respectively, and determines the magnitudes of the determined acceleration and acceleration as the second set acceleration It is determined whether or not the magnitude of the second set angular velocity is larger than the magnitude of the second set angular velocity (S213).

At this time, the magnitude of the second set acceleration and the magnitude of the second set angular velocity are set based on the acceleration detected by the vehicle and the magnitude of the angular velocity when a collision accident or a collision accident occurs such that life injury is caused in the vehicle.

Therefore, the magnitude of the second set acceleration and the magnitude of the second set angular velocity are larger than the magnitude of the first set acceleration and the magnitude of the first set angular velocity, respectively.

If the determined acceleration and the magnitude of the angular velocity are greater than or equal to the second set acceleration and the second set angular velocity, respectively, the first operation control unit 120 determines the present vehicle state as a pre-accident occurrence state (S214).

If it is determined that the state of the vehicle is a preliminary accident occurrence state, the first operation control unit 120 generates a preliminary accident occurrence notification signal, and transmits a preliminary accident occurrence notification signal and a preliminary accident occurrence notification signal, And transmits the vehicle terminal identification number stored in the storage unit 130 to the user terminal 20 (S215).

However, when at least one of the determined acceleration magnitude and angular velocity magnitude is less than the set acceleration magnitude and the set angular velocity magnitude, the first motion control section 120 determines that the current vehicle is stably traveling without stopping or stops, The process goes to step S211 to detect an accident occurrence state.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when a collision accident or a collision accident causes an impact of a predetermined magnitude or more on the basis of the magnitude of the acceleration and the magnitude of the angular velocity determined according to the signals output from the acceleration sensor 111 and the deceleration sensor 112 The first operation control unit 120 determines that the vehicle is in a preliminary accident occurrence state. If it is determined that the vehicle is in the preliminary accident occurrence state, the vehicle terminal 10 transmits a preliminary accident occurrence notification signal to the user terminal 20 send.

Next, with reference to Fig. 5B, an accident occurrence determination operation performed by the user terminal 20 will be described.

When the operation of the user terminal 20 is started and a pairing state is established with the vehicle terminal 10 due to the supply of power necessary for the operation, the operation of the second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 20 is started (S220) , The second operation control unit 220 determines whether the set time has elapsed using the time determined by the timer 270 (S221).

When the set time has elapsed after the start of the operation for determining the occurrence of an accident of the vehicle, the second operation control unit 220 reads the detection signals output from the second accident detection unit 211 and the position detection unit 212 (S222), current impact information consisting of the magnitude of the acceleration of the vehicle sensed by the acceleration sensor 21 and the magnitude of the angular velocity of the vehicle sensed by the angular velocity sensor 22, and the current impact information of the vehicle sensed by the gravity sensor 23 The current position of the vehicle sensed by the magnetic sensor 24, and the latitude and longitude of the current vehicle sensed by the position data acquisition unit 25 (S223) And stores it in the storage unit 230 (S224)

At this time, the second operation control unit 220 determines the time when the signal is read from the sensing units 211 and 212 as the determination time using the signal applied from the timer 270, and stores it (S223, S224).

However, if the set time has not elapsed, the second operation control section 220 proceeds to step S221 and uses the timer 270 to determine whether the set time has elapsed.

If the current impact information, the current vehicle position information, and the determination time are determined and stored by the operation of the second accident detection unit 211, the position sensing unit 212, and the timer 270, The second operation control unit 220 determines whether a preliminary accident occurrence notification signal has been transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10 (S225).

If the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal is not transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10, the second operation control unit 220 proceeds to step S221 and transmits the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal to the second accident detection unit 211 and the position detection unit 212 And outputs the current impact information, the current vehicle position information, and the determination time.

However, when the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal is transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10, the second operation control unit 220 determines whether the vehicle terminal identification number of the corresponding vehicle terminal 10, which is stored in the storage unit 230, It is determined whether the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal and the vehicle terminal identification numbers transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10 are identical to each other (S226).

When the vehicle terminal identification number of the stored vehicle terminal 10 and the vehicle terminal identification number transmitted together with the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal are different from each other, the second operation control unit 20 determines that the vehicle terminal that transmitted the pre- It is determined that the vehicle terminal 10 is not in the pairing state with the user terminal 20 of the vehicle terminal 10.

Accordingly, the second operation control unit 220 ignores the transmitted preliminary accident occurrence notification signal and proceeds to step S221.

However, when the vehicle terminal identification number of the stored vehicle terminal 10 and the vehicle terminal identification number transmitted together with the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal are identical to each other, the second operation control section 220 performs a pairing operation with its own user terminal 20 It is determined that the preliminary accident occurrence notification signal has been transmitted from the corresponding vehicle terminal 10 maintaining the state, and an operation for confirming occurrence of an accident of the vehicle is performed again.

Accordingly, the second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 20 reads the current acceleration magnitude and the current angular velocity magnitude stored in the second storage unit 230 (S227), reads the read current acceleration magnitude and the transmitted acceleration It is determined whether the magnitudes are equal to each other and whether the read angular velocity magnitude and the angular velocity magnitude transmitted are equal to each other (S228).

When the read difference between the current acceleration magnitude and the transmitted acceleration magnitude is within a predetermined error range and the difference between the read current angular velocity magnitude and the transmitted angular velocity magnitude is within a predetermined error range, Determines that the read current acceleration magnitude and the transmitted acceleration magnitude are equal to each other, and also determines that the read current angular velocity magnitude and the transmitted angular velocity magnitude are equal to each other.

If it is determined that the read current acceleration magnitude and the transmitted acceleration magnitude are equal to each other and the read current angular velocity magnitude and the transmitted angular velocity magnitude are equal to each other, the second motion control unit 220 determines that the corresponding vehicle equipped with the vehicle terminal 10 It is determined that the state of the vehicle is an accident (S229).

However, if at least one of the read current acceleration magnitude, the transmitted acceleration magnitude, the read current angular velocity magnitude, and the transmitted angular velocity magnitude are different from each other, the second motion control unit 220 controls the motion of the vehicle 10 It is determined that the state is an unexpected vehicle (S230).

Therefore, the process proceeds to step S221, where the occurrence of an accident of the vehicle is determined using the accident detection unit 211 and the position detection unit 212. [

As described above, in this embodiment, since it is determined whether or not an accident has occurred in the vehicle using the operation of the vehicle terminal 10 as well as the operation of the user terminal 20, it is determined more accurately whether an accident has occurred in the vehicle, The reliability of operation of the vehicle accident notification system is improved.

Next, the operation of the user terminal 20, the control server 30, and the text sending server 50 will be described when the state of the vehicle is judged to be an accident state by the user terminal 20 with reference to Fig. 6 .

First, the second operation control section 220 of the user terminal 20 judges whether or not the state of the vehicle concerned is determined as an accident occurrence state by a judgment operation performed as a preliminary accident occurrence notification signal is transmitted from the vehicle terminal 10 (S31).

If it is determined that the state of the vehicle is an accident occurrence state, the second operation control section 220 of the user terminal 20 continues to determine whether the state of the vehicle has been determined as an accident occurrence state (S31).

However, if it is determined that the vehicle is in an accident occurrence state, the second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 20 transmits an accident occurrence notification signal to the control server 30 via the communication network 61 and a second storage unit 230 to the control server 30 (S32).

When an accident occurrence notification signal is transmitted from the user terminal 20, the accident management unit 31 of the control server 30 transmits the transmitted vehicle terminal identification number to the database 40 to request vehicle information on the accident occurrence vehicle (S33).

Accordingly, the database 40 reads the vehicle information (i.e., the vehicle number, the owner and the emergency phone number, etc.) of the corresponding vehicle corresponding to the transmitted terminal identification number, and transmits it to the control server 30 (S33) .

For this reason, the control server 30 stores the vehicle information of the vehicle transmitted from the database 40 in the third storage unit 32 (S34).

Next, the incident management unit 31 of the control server 30 reads the incident acceptance message stored in the third storage unit 32 and transmits an accident acceptance message to the user terminal 20 (S35) To the user terminal 20

Accordingly, the second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 20 outputs the accident acceptance message transmitted from the control server 30 to the display unit 250 (S36).

Accordingly, the passenger of the accident vehicle confirms the message output to the display unit 250 of the user terminal 20, and confirms that the accident occurrence report has been normally received to the control server 30.

After outputting the accident reception message transmitted from the control server 30 to the display unit 250 as described above, the second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 20 calls the confirmation message stored in the storage unit 230 To the control server 30 (S37), and notifies the control server 30 that the incident confirmation message transmitted from the control server 30 has been normally received.

The incident management unit 31 of the control server 30 transmits an accident acceptance message to the user terminal 10 in step S35 and then determines whether an acknowledgment message has been transmitted from the user terminal 10 in step S38.

When the confirmation message is transmitted to the user terminal 10 after receiving the accident acceptance message, the accident management unit 31 of the control server 30 determines the state of the vehicle as a final accident occurrence state at step S313.

However, if the confirmation message is not transmitted from the user terminal 10, the accident management unit 31 of the control server 30 transmits the fault reception message again to the user terminal 10 after the set time has elapsed (S39 , S310), and determines whether an acknowledgment message has been transmitted from the user terminal 20 again (S311).

The second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 10 reads the confirmation message stored in the storage unit 230 and transmits the confirmation message to the control server 30, Otherwise, if the user terminal 10 can not operate normally due to an accident, the user terminal 10 can not transmit a confirmation message to the control server 30.

The accident management unit 31 of the control server 30 transmits the accident reception message to the user terminal 20 and then receives the confirmation message from the user terminal 20 within the set time (S311, S312) Is determined as the final occurrence state (S313).

However, if the confirmation message is not received from the user terminal 20 within the set time (S311, S312) after the accident reception message is transmitted to the user terminal 20 for the second time, the accident management unit 31 of the control server 30 ) Is determined as the final accident occurrence state (S313).

When the control server 30 determines that the state of the corresponding vehicle is the final occurrence state, the accident management unit 31 of the control server 30 requests the user terminal 20 for the accident related information (S314).

In this example, the accident-related information includes current impact information determined by the operation of the accident detection unit 21 and the position sensing unit 212 of the user terminal 20 and stored in the second storage unit 230, Position information and determination time.

 Accordingly, the second operation control unit 220 of the user terminal 20 reads the incident-related information stored in the second storage unit 230 at the request of the accident management unit 31 of the control server 30, To the control server 30 (S315). At this time, the determination time becomes the time of the accident occurrence.

The control server 30 generates accident occurrence information including an accident occurrence position and an accident occurrence time using the accident-related information transmitted from the user terminal 20 (S316).

Then, the vehicle terminal identification number is transmitted to the database 40 together with the accident occurrence information (S316).

Accordingly, the database 40 stores the incident occurrence information corresponding to the vehicle and transmitted (S318).

 Then, the relation server 30 transmits the accident information and the designated character for guiding the occurrence of an accident to the character sending server 50 together with the vehicle information including the emergency telephone number stored in the third storage unit 32 (S319 ).

Accordingly, the character sending server 50 transmits the designated character, vehicle information, and accident occurrence information to the transmitted emergency phone number (S320), and automatically registers the accident occurrence situation, accident occurrence position and accident The time of occurrence is indicated.

As a result, the accident report is made quickly and the location of the accident can be known immediately at the time of receiving the report. Therefore, it is possible to drastically reduce the damage and the economic damage due to the rapid response.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It belongs to the scope of right.
