The present invention relates to a system and a method for detecting theft of a shipment by detecting the location information and transmitting the location information to a mobile terminal and a management server.

Delivery of liquids such as oil or live fish is generally delivered to the consumer from the production base / reservation base / seller by using a storage transport tank of a tank truck equipped with a tank containing liquid. As described above, in order to transport goods such as liquid or live fish such as gasoline, diesel, etc. by using a tank van, a cover installed at the inlet and outlet of the tank top plate is opened, the liquid and the corresponding item are put in the tank, and then the cover is transported. have.

Recently, due to the rise in the price of goods transported by tank trucks, theft of goods such as oil, live fish, etc., filled in tanks of tank trucks frequently occurs, which is a social problem. Tank storage capacity of the tank truck for transporting goods such as oil has been produced in a large capacity, there was a problem that can not be easily caught when a small amount of the goods filled in the tank. In particular, oil or live fish filled in large tank vans rather than small tank vans have been the target of theft. Therefore, when the driver of the tank truck eats a malicious feeling and opens the cover of the tank top plate in the middle of the goods transportation and draws a small amount of oil or live fish filled in the tank, there is a problem that cannot be easily caught.

As a conventional technology for solving the above problems, the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0081781 (2010. 07. 15) 'fluid theft detection system' (hereinafter referred to as "patent document 1") and published patent publication 10-2009-0084154 (2009. 08. 05) There is a "oil anti-theft device" (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 2").

Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are configured to detect a change in the amount of fluid filled in the storage tank using a level sensor, and if the change exceeds a preset amount, it is configured to transmit a burglar alarm message to a preset location. For example, when the storage tank has a large capacity, it is highly accurate to detect a change in the amount of fluid. Therefore, the configuration is complicated and it is almost impossible to use in a tank truck carrying live fish. In other words, in the oil tank with a storage capacity of 20,000 liters, when about 20 liters of oil are oiled through the inlet of the top plate, the level change in the tank is very small and it is not easy to detect the change in the fluid volume. There was a problem that should be.

Referring to FIG. 1, the delivery goods theft alarm system 10 of the tank truck is an opening / closing detector 12 installed in a cover for opening and closing the entrance / exit formed on the tank top plate of the tank freighter, and receiving a GPS signal transmitted from a GPS satellite. And a position sensor 14 for outputting position information. Here, the inlet and outlet of the tank top plate means a large hole used to enter and exit the article inside the tank.

The opening / closing detector 12 is attached to the inside or outside of the cover, the tilt detection sensor for detecting the inclination angle of the cover when the cover is opened, respectively installed in the inlet and outlet of the tank top plate and the cover is the tank top plate It can be used by selecting either magnetic switch or photo coupler switch that outputs cover opening signal when it is separated from inlet and outlet of.

The position sensor 14 receives a latitude and longitude coordinate information and time information (commonly called a GPS signal) from a GPS satellite and responds to a GIS generation control signal and a GPS receiver 14a for outputting current position information. To a geographic information generation unit 14b that generates GIS information such as a current address (address), a road name (road number), a surrounding building number, and an address number based on the current location information output from the GPS receiver 12. It is composed.

The open / close sensor 12 and the position sensor 14 are connected to the MCU 16 to which the IOD 18, which is a human interface, is connected. The IOD 18 has a keypad for inputting information, a display for displaying text data and graphic data, and visually displays information input from or outputted by the user to the MCU 16.

The user may change the operation mode of the MCU 16 by using the keypad and the display unit of the IOD 18, input a password or the like, or search for a destination to store coordinate values of the destination in a memory. The storage of the coordinate values of the destination can be performed in the same manner as the destination setting of the navigation.

The MCU 16 may use an ATMEL processor having an 8-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) structure. The ATMEL processor includes a data memory, a central processing unit (CPU), an analog to digital converter (ADC), and the like, such as a ROM, a RAM, and an EEPROM.

The memory in the MCU 16 is masked with a program for detecting and alarming the stolen goods of the tank truck. At this time, the program compares the current position information detected by the position sensor 14 with the destination coordinates set by the user in response to the opening detection signal of the cover, and converts the GIS information and the unique identification code into SMS / MMS according to the result. And packetized data, and transmits the stolen information or the arrival information to the URLs of the manager portable terminal 7 and the management server 9 which are preset through the wireless transmitter / receiver 20.

In this case, the wireless transmitter / receiver 20 may use a CDMA modem that can access a wireless telephone mobile communication network, and the network 5 is a wired / wireless internet network including a wireless telephone communication network. In the above configuration, the manager portable terminal 7 is a mobile phone such as a mobile phone or a smart phone, and the management server 9 is a computer which can be connected to the wired or wireless Internet by TCP / IP.

The operation of the delivery goods theft alarm system 10 of the tank van configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

When the shipment article theft alarm system 10 of FIG. 1 is operated, the MCU 16 searches whether it is in the setting mode in step S12 of FIG. 2. Herein, the setting mode means filling oil, sea water, live fish, etc. in the tank of the tank van, and inputting information of the delivery destination.

When the user changes the operation mode of the MCU 16 to the setting mode using the IOD 18, the MCU 16 displays a message to the IOD 18 to input a password in step S14 to receive the password. When the password is input, the MCU 16 determines whether the password input by the user in step S16 matches the password previously stored in the internal memory.

If it is determined that the two passwords match in the step S16, the MCU 16 displays the destination input window on the IOD 18, and when the destination is set from the IOD 18 by the user in step S18, the step S24. Stores the coordinates of the destination in internal memory and sets the watch flag (WF). If the destination is not set for a certain time (step S20), the MCU 16 performs steps S20 and S22 to display an error message as the IOD 18. At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, the destination may be set as a name search, an address search, a phone number, or the like.

When stolen goods in the tank occur during transportation after storing the goods such as oil and live fish in the tank of the tank truck by the above operation, the location and time information of the stolen goods are converted into SMS / MMS and packet data. It is converted and automatically transmitted by the IOD 18 to the administrator's mobile terminal telephone number and the management server's URL which are previously stored in the memory in the MCU 16. The operation process is as follows.

If not in the setting mode in step S12 of FIG. 2, the MCU 16 searches in step S26 whether the monitoring flag WF set in the memory is set. If the monitoring flag WF is not set in the above state, the MCU 16 determines that the tank is not empty or the shipment is stolen. If the monitoring flag WF is determined to be set, the MCU 16 determines S28. It is determined that the monitoring mode in the process to read the output of the opening and closing detector 12 to search whether the cover installed in the top plate of the tank is open.

When the cover opening is not detected in the process of S28, the MCU 16 repeats the above-described processes of S12 and S26 to monitor the cover opening state at regular intervals.

In such a state, when opening the cover installed on the tank top plate for the purpose of stealing the oil or live fish contained in the tank, the open / close detector 12 detects the opening of the top cover and outputs to the MCU (16). In this case, the MCU 16 determines that the cover is opened in step S28 of FIG. 2, and acquires information of the current position through the position sensor 14 in step S30.

In the present invention, the information of the current position is a GPS signal such as the current time, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the current position recognized by the GPS receiver 14a, and the geographic information generation unit 14b based on the recognized GPS signal. The generated geographic information may be included, and may include both signals. Here, the geographic information includes a street number (address) based on latitude and longitude coordinates, a road name (number), and a building name near the corresponding location.

In step S30, the MCU 16, which obtains the location information through the position sensor 14, compares the destination coordinate value and the current coordinate value stored in the internal memory in step S32, and if the current coordinate and the destination coordinate do not match, theft is lost. If the two coordinates match, it is determined that the goods delivered (transported) by the tank van have arrived at the destination, and the process proceeds to step S36.

In step S34, the MCU 16 combines the detected location information, the GIS information, the unique identification code, and the phone number of the manager mobile terminal 7 stored in the internal memory and the URL of the management server 9 in advance. And inputting the packet data stolen information into the CDMA modem 20. FIG. Meanwhile, in step S36, the MCU 16 combines the unique identification code with the phone number of the manager mobile terminal 7 stored in the internal memory and the URL of the management server 9 to convert the SMS / MMS and packet data to the CDMA modem. After inputting to (20), the monitoring flag WF is reset. In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an example of transmitting SMS / MMS and packetized stolen information or arrival information to a predetermined phone number of a manager mobile terminal and a URL of a management server has been described. SMS / MMS or packet data can be selectively transmitted by selecting the phone number or URL of the management server.

The CDMA modem 20 transmits the theft information / arrival information to the wireless mobile communication network of the network 5 or includes it in packet data in response to an input of the SMS / MMS to the phone number of the manager mobile terminal included in the message. Theft information / arrival information is transmitted to the wireless mobile communication network of the network 5 based on the URL of the management server.

The SMS / MMS transmitted to the wireless mobile communication network of the network 5 is transmitted to the manager's mobile terminal 7 by the call routing path of the wireless mobile communication network, and the packet data is transmitted to the management server 9. At this time, the manager may monitor the theft status or arrival information, including the theft time, theft location, etc. of the goods carried in the tank truck via the mobile terminal (7) by text. In addition, the packet data transmitted to the management server 9 is used to display the location information contained thereon on a map to more accurately determine the location and time at which the article was stolen / arrived.

3 is a control flowchart of a method for alarming a stolen goods delivery of a tank truck according to another embodiment of the present invention. As compared with FIG. 2, it can be seen that S27, S29, and S31 processes are further included.

According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the tank top cover of the tank cargo is opened in a shaded area in which no GPS signal is received, the pre-set of theft of the transport item has occurred in the location information received just before. It is shown that the user's mobile terminal is sent to the management server.

Specifically, only the difference from FIG. 2, when it is determined that the monitoring flag WF is set in step S26, the MCU 16 may output current position information output from the position sensor 14 in step S27 of FIG. 3. After obtaining and storing in the internal memory and performs the process S28.

If it is determined that the cover of the tank top plate is opened in step S28, the MCU 16 searches whether the GSP signal is received from the GPS receiver 14a in step S29 of FIG. If it is determined that the GPS signal is received as a result of the search, the MCU 16 performs the above-described step S30.

However, if it is determined that the GPS signal is not received in step S29, that is, if it is determined that the GPS signal is not received while the cover is open, the MUC 16 may remove the cover of the tank top plate from the shadow area where the GPS is not received. In operation S31, the controller 120 acquires the location information stored in the internal memory in step S31, and performs the above-described process.

Therefore, when the tank truck is stopped in a GPS shading area such as a tunnel and the cover of the tank top is opened, the GPS is transmitted by comparing the location coordinates immediately before being located in the GSP shading area with the coordinates of the destination to transmit the stolen or arrival information. Theft in unreceived shadowed areas can also be effectively prevented / detected.

As described above, the present invention compares the current position and the target position coordinates by opening the cover formed on the tank top plate of the tank truck to detect whether theft / normal arrival, and transmit the information of the situation to the manager / server The stolen state of the goods delivered by the tank truck as well as the arrival state of the delivery value can be known in real time to prevent theft such as oil, live fish, etc. in advance.
