Telematics is a compound word of telecommunications and informatics. It uses 'automatic telematics' in that it uses an auto PC that can send and receive e-mails in the car and retrieve various information through the Internet. Also called.

The driver can remotely diagnose the vehicle through the wireless network, and can use the auto PC equipped with the wireless modem to access various information such as traffic and living information and emergency rescue, and can send phone messages to the office and friends, as well as voice e-mail. You can also exchange and download audiobooks.

As such, telematics service is generally a joint venture between a car maker and a mobile carrier. Depending on the type of service, various services such as news reception, stock investment, e-commerce, financial transaction, hotel reservation, facsimile transmission, game, vehicle accident and theft are possible, especially when there is a traffic accident. It has the advantage that it is easy for rescue operation by tracking location and transmitting it to the nearest 119 rescue team.

On-Star, a joint venture between General Motors (GM) and Motorola in the United States, is a leader in the field and already uses Global Positioning System (GPS) and Ford-Qualcomm. And car makers such as Mercedes-Benz Deutsche Telecom and mobile communication companies are actively working together.

However, since the conventional telematics service uses a mobile communication method such as CDMA, WCDMA, and the like, there is a problem in that the cost increases when receiving a large amount of data. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost, the transmitted data is reduced or compressed as much as possible. However, the reduced data does not provide sufficient information to the customer. In addition, the telematics service based on CDMA or WCDMA technology has limitations in the data transmission speed and the number of concurrent users, which makes it difficult to provide a normal service when the number of customers increases or the information request signal increases.

On the other hand, location based service (LBS) attaches a chip connected to a base station or a satellite navigation device (GPS) in a mobile terminal to provide various information related to location such as location tracking service, public safety service and location based information service. Refers to the service provided. That is, location-based services provide various services based on location information obtained through wired and wireless communication networks.

Location-based services are used to track geographically dispersed resources, taxis, couriers, rental equipment, hospitals (doctors), fleets, etc. Can be used for location management. In addition, services for locating people or objects, routes, weather, traffic conditions, accommodation reservations, lost cell phones, emergency rescue alerts when a target is approaching, a targeted advertisement, a friend list, automatic check-in when approaching an airport, or when a target is near It can be applied to a wide range of fields such as automatic execution, location-based automatic payment (automatic toll payment).

Location-based services fall into three broad categories: Location Determination Technology (LDT), Location Enabled Platform (LEP), and Location Application Program (LAP).

Positioning technology for dual location tracking is a GPS method using a satellite navigation system and a cell method using a mobile communication base station. The GPS method has a small error range, so that accurate positioning can be tracked, but location tracking is difficult in urban areas where high-rise buildings are concentrated. On the other hand, the cell method may measure a location using a radiolocation method and a trilateration method based on the propagation strength of a neighboring base station. In some mobile communication networks, a single base station reference position measurement method using a radio wave arrival radius is used for a location-based service without using a trilateration method in a mobile communication network. Since the cell system can use a repeater, the location can be tracked in the building or underground. However, since the cell system has a distance of 20 km between base stations, it is impossible to accurately position the error range of several to several tens of kilometers, and although the distance between base stations is reduced to reduce the error range, the facility investment cost increases. have.
