The present invention relates to a method of car management using wireless identification, which can carry out the purchase or sale of used cars, and to easily and reliably check the details of the car, and to a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for realizing the same.

In the case of a car breakdown, the general driver cannot repair it by himself, so he or she will ask the workshop for maintenance of the car.

In this case, it is preferable to use genuine products at the workshop, but there are cases where non-standard parts or used parts are used due to problems such as price. In this case, since repairs are performed using parts other than genuine products, there is a high possibility of failure or malfunction of the car.

In addition, even when repairing using such non-standard parts or used parts, even if the repair fee is charged as using genuine products, the general driver has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to check whether or not to use genuine products because there is not much knowledge about auto parts.

In addition, the service life of the car can be increased by periodically checking the major parts of the car or the period of use, and the maintenance work such as the replacement of parts or the addition of engine oil. There are disadvantages.

In addition, even when selling or purchasing such a car in a used market, the price is determined by integrating the state of parts inside the car and whether there is an accident, but such a price determination work also takes a lot of time and effort.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Hereinafter, a vehicle management method using wireless identification according to the present invention and an embodiment of a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the same will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary flowchart of a vehicle management method using wireless identification according to the present invention.

An automobile management method using wireless identification according to the present invention assumes that an RFID reader is mounted in a vehicle, and that an RFID tag for storing information of the corresponding component is attached to a vehicle component such as a tire, an engine, a brake, an electronic device, and the like. .

First, the part information is read from the RFID tag attached to the part in the vehicle (S110).

This step is to receive the part information from the RFID tag in which the part information such as tires, engines, brakes, etc. are recorded, and read it in the RFID reader. In other words, to read the parts information from each part and based on this to determine whether or not genuine information for future management or car management.

In this case, the information of the part stored in the RFID tag may be a mounting date of the part, an exchange period, a manufacturer, a part name, a part manufacturing date, and the like. In this case, the installation date, replacement cycle, manufacturer, part name, etc. of the part may be input at or before the part is installed and stored in the RFID tag.

A more detailed description of step S110 is as follows.

First, the RFID reader transmits an activation signal to an RFID tag mounted on a component. The RFID tag receiving the activation signal, for example, receives power information from the activation signal and transmits the stored part information to the RFID reader, and the RFID reader receives the information of the part transmitted corresponding to the activation signal from the RFID tag.

This step S110 is performed again in order to update the information of the parts, for example when replacing parts. That is, the information of the parts is read again from the RFID tag mounted on the replaced parts.

In addition, step S110 may be performed periodically even without replacing parts. For example, parts may be changed by theft even if the parts are not explicitly changed. Therefore, it is possible to configure to periodically read the part information again and update the car management information thereafter based on this.

On the other hand, as described above, the use of non-genuine parts, such as in the repair of automobiles becomes a problem.

To this end, it may be checked whether the part is genuine based on the information of the part read in step S110 (S120).

In other words, assuming that a genuine product has information of a part recorded in an RFID tag, if there is an error in the part information or the part information is not read, it can be regarded as not genuine.

If the read result of step S120 is not genuine, a warning message is generated to warn it, and the warning message is output through a display device provided in the vehicle, for example, a display device or a speaker of a car audio.

If it is determined in step S120 to be genuine, car management information is generated based on this (S130). The car management information may include, for example, a mounting date, an exchange period, a manufacturer, a part name, and the like of a part read from an RFID tag, and additionally, information such as a replacement date, a part state, and the like may be additionally generated. . Part status information can also be generated from an RFID tag with a sensor node attached to each part.

Thereafter, such car management information is output as necessary (S140).

For example, when it is necessary to replace a specific part by the car management information, it is output to the driver.

Such output may be output through text or voice through, for example, a display device or a speaker provided in the vehicle based on the car management information.

Alternatively, it is necessary to output the car management information according to the needs of the driver or the needs of the customer at the time of used car sales.

In this case, the vehicle management information output request is received and correspondingly, the vehicle management information is output.

The output of such car management information may be performed through, for example, a display device provided in the vehicle.

Alternatively, the vehicle management information may be output through a separate display device such as a portable computer or diagnostic equipment. In this case, the portable computer or the diagnostic equipment may be connected to the RFID reader through a wired or wireless communication method.

The present invention also provides a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing each step of the vehicle management method using wireless identification according to the present invention described above.

However, a detailed description of such a computer-readable recording medium is omitted since it overlaps with the vehicle management method using radio identification according to the present invention described with reference to FIG.

Although the configuration of the present invention has been described in detail, these are merely illustrative of the present invention, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. This will be possible. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed herein are not intended to limit the present invention but to describe the present invention, and the spirit and scope of the present invention are not limited by these embodiments. If the scope of the present invention is to be interpreted by the claims below, it should be interpreted that all techniques falling within the scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, by attaching an RFID tag to the main parts of the car and attaching an RFID reader to the car to receive the radio signals transmitted from the parts, it is possible to easily check whether the genuine parts are used when replacing the car parts, and the like. The repair history is recorded by the RFID reader in the database and recorded inside the car, so it is easy to manage the car such as replacing parts, and even the purchase or sale of used cars can be easily and reliably checked. Do.
