The traffic volume around the vehicle can be estimated in consideration of the current speed and the direction of travel of each vehicle.

The traffic data may be generated based on any one of the number of vehicles, vehicle speed, traffic accident information, or road maintenance information of a region belonging to a certain radius from the direction in which the vehicle travels. For example, the central server may store the traffic data in consideration of the number of vehicles within 100m of the driving direction of the vehicle currently running, the average speed of the vehicle, the vehicle traveling direction at the intersection, the presence of traffic accidents, the presence of road maintenance, and the like. Can be generated.

In an embodiment, the WiBro modem 210 may transmit the user's request information from the central server and receive entertainment content corresponding thereto. The entertainment content is content such as music, movies, and games, and may be interpreted as a concept including various contents that can be downloaded through the Internet in addition to data related to driving of a vehicle.

The traffic data may be information on traffic conditions, traffic accidents, and road maintenance of a few meters in front of a driving vehicle. The traffic data indicates traffic conditions of an upline and a downline of a highway. The map data may be map data associated with a starting point and a destination.

Alternatively, the intelligent communication system 200 using WiBro may provide image data photographed by a camera installed at a main place in the direction in which the vehicle travels, instead of the traffic data.

For example, the intelligent communication system 200 using WiBro provides the image data by using the image data captured by a closed circuit camera or a traffic information collecting device that is pre-installed in a surrounding main road situation as the image data. The driver may actively select a path and a lane by checking the image data.

5 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying entertainment content and traffic data in an intelligent communication system using WiBro according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the intelligent communication system 200 using WiBro may display entertainment content (left) and traffic data (right). The entertainment content may be an mp3 file list, and the driver may listen to music by playing an mp3 file included in the mp3 file list while checking the traffic data.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying entertainment content and map data in an intelligent communication system using WiBro according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the intelligent communication system 200 using WiBro may display entertainment content (left) and map data (right). Here, the entertainment content may be content about a movie, and the driver may play the movie together with the map data.

Accordingly, the route generation unit 230 generates route data for the destination selected by the user based on the displayed traffic data. For example, the route generator 230 may generate route data by referring to the traffic data, the image data, and the map data on the fastest road, the detour road, etc. to a destination. The generated route data is provided to the user so that the driver of the vehicle may visually check the traffic situation that is changed in real time.

Alternatively, the WiBro modem 210 may transmit the current location and the selected destination to the central server, and receive route data for the destination from the central server.

In an embodiment, the WiBro modem 210 receives only current and predicted traffic conditions in order to minimize the amount of communication with the central server, and generates a route based on the received traffic data and map data in the route generator 230. You can also retrieve data.

In another embodiment, the route generation unit 230 may update the route data in consideration of traffic accident information or road maintenance information received in real time through the WiBro modem 210. For example, if a traffic accident occurs in the current driving direction or the road is being maintained, the route generator 230 may reset the route to the bypass road.

The data generator 310 may be configured based on at least one of the number of vehicles, traffic accident information, or road maintenance information of a region within a predetermined radius from the traveling direction based on the information about the vehicle traveling direction included in the environmental data. Traffic data can be generated.

For example, the data generation unit 310 may drive the traffic prediction software, and input the vehicle driving direction, traffic accident information, and road maintenance information as arguments to predict the traffic volume.

For example, the data generator 310 may use the traffic of the route before arriving at a section where the vehicle equipped with the system of the present invention is blocked in advance, based on the direction of travel of the other vehicles currently driving on the surrounding road and the vehicle density on the route. By predicting the condition, it finds a fast way (bypass) that bypasses a predetermined route, monitors forward traffic conditions, and provides emergency traffic information to the driver in real time.

The data generator 310 collects images and traffic information captured by a closed circuit camera, which is installed on a vehicle's current speed and direction, which is environmental data collected from a currently running vehicle, a direction currently progressing on a current screen, and surrounding major road conditions. Data collected through the device may be used to predict traffic volume and generate traffic data.

The database 320 records and maintains the generated traffic data. Since the traffic data may be changed in real time, the database 320 may record and maintain newly generated traffic data in real time or at regular intervals.

The data provider 330 provides the traffic data stored in the database 320 to the terminal means. The terminal means is a navigation equipped with a map application, which is the same as described above.

The application providing unit 340 provides a map application for processing and managing the provided traffic data in the terminal means. Since the map application is the same as described above, description thereof is omitted.
