A vehicle identification information integration service method of the vehicle black box according to the present invention constructed as above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of Figs. 3 to 6. Fig.

3, an image in the corresponding direction is captured by at least one camera of the front camera 11a, the rear camera 11b, or the side camera 11c connected to the vehicle black box 10 installed inside the vehicle (S1). The control unit 17 of the vehicle black box 10 receives an image photographed by one or more cameras attached to or connected to a black box toward at least one of the front, rear, or side of the vehicle, And then stored in the memory unit 16 (S2).

The control unit 17 detects whether an impact is detected by the impact sensor 12 during the process of recording the shot image of the shooting unit 11 in the memory unit 16 in step S3. It is determined whether the impact amount is detected to be equal to or greater than the set threshold value. When an impact is detected from the impact detection sensor 12, the control unit 17 performs the flow of FIG. 5 to be described later.

The control unit 17 detects the vehicle image from the image data stored in the memory unit 16 (S5). The detected vehicle image is compared with the vehicle type data stored in the vehicle type DB 21 using the vehicle type recognition algorithm installed in the control unit 17 to read the type of the vehicle (S6). That is, the control unit 17 repeats the process of reading the type of the vehicle using the vehicle type recognition algorithm for the image data of the vehicle image photographed by the photographing unit 11 and stored in the memory unit 16. At this time, the control unit 17 reads whether the read vehicle is approximately equal to or more than 50%, preferably equal to or more than 80% of the vehicle stored in the vehicle type DB 21 (S7). Furthermore, the vehicle type recognition algorithm extracts the direction and angle of the photographed vehicle as a three-dimensional image and reads the vehicle type. However, if the image of the vehicle is captured at 50% or less, a message indicating that the vehicle type can not be read is displayed through the display unit 18 and the warning unit 23 (S8). The control unit 17 stores the read vehicle type information in the memory unit 16 (S9). The vehicle type DB 21 includes information such as a domestic car, an imported car, a personal use, a business use, a passenger car, an SUV, a taxi, a bus, a truck, a special car,

The control unit 17 detects the license plate from the image data recorded in the memory unit 16 and then extracts the car number information by dividing the license plate into characters, numbers and colors by using the car number recognition algorithm installed in the control unit 17 S10). That is, after recognizing the old license plate or the new license plate, the license number recognition algorithm recognizes characters included in the license plate, ie, letters such as Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gan, Na and special characters, numbers such as 0 ~ 9, The color of the character and the color of the character, that is, the color such as green, yellow, white, or black, are distinguished from each other. The car number recognition algorithm should be programmed so that even if the identified car license plate is in a certain direction and angle, it can be extracted. However, if it is impossible to distinguish characters, numbers and colors from the license plate, or if it is impossible to decode at least letters and numbers, a message informing that the license plate can not be read is displayed through the display unit 18 and the warning unit 23 (S11).

When the number information of the license plate is extracted, the controller 17 compares the number information with the car number data stored in the illegal car number DB 22 (S12). At this time, the control unit 17 basically compares numbers and characters from the license plate to determine whether they match or not (S13). Then, it compares the background color with the character color of numbers and characters to determine whether they match or not. At this time, when there is no matching number between the car number information stored in the car number DB 22 and the extracted car number information, the control unit 17 displays a message indicating that there is no matching number on the display unit 18 and the warning unit 23) (S14). If the extracted vehicle number information matches the vehicle number information stored in the vehicle number DB 22, the control unit 17 stores it in the memory unit 16 (S15).

When detecting the vehicle type in the vehicle type recognition algorithm, the control unit 17 detects the vehicle license plate even if the vehicle image is less than 50%, or if the vehicle model name or emblem attached to the vehicle surface is recognized by the vehicle number recognition algorithm It is read out and stored in the memory unit 16. When the vehicle type information read out by the vehicle type recognition algorithm and the vehicle number information read by the vehicle number recognition algorithm do not correspond to the illegal vehicle information, the control unit 17 stores the vehicle type information stored in the memory unit 16 And the car number information are stored until the capacity of the memory unit 16 is full, and if data is continuously inputted beyond the capacity of the memory unit, the data stored first according to the first-in first-out method is deleted. If there is a format of the memory unit 16 artificially, all of the stored data is forcibly deleted.

4, the control unit 17 generates and displays an alarm through the display unit 18 and the warning unit 23 when the vehicle number information matches the vehicle number data stored in the illegal vehicle number DB 22 ( S16). The control unit 17 connects to the remote management server 40 through the communication means 20 (S17). At this time, the control unit 17 of the vehicle black box 10 logs in through the security authentication already stored in the member information DB 41 connected to the management server 40 when the management server 40 is connected. The control unit 17 transmits the illegal vehicle information data including the type of vehicle, the vehicle number, the photographing position and the time stored in the memory unit 16 to the management server via the communication means 20 after connecting to the management server 40 (S18).

The management server 40 again compares the illegal vehicle information received from the black box 10 with the information stored in the car number information DB 44 (S19). That is, the management server 40 determines whether or not the information stored in the car number information DB 44 matches the received illegal car information (S20). If the management server 40 does not match the information, A message indicating that the box 10 does not match is transmitted (S21). That is, when the illegal vehicle information received from the black box 10 does not match the information stored in the car number information DB 44, the management server 40 sends an error message . The error processing for the illegal vehicle information will be the case where the information is erroneously processed in the corresponding black box 10 or the information is not updated.

The management server 40 makes a connection to the remote police server 50 when the illegal vehicle information received from the corresponding black box 10 matches the information stored in the car number information DB 44 at step S22. At this time, the management server 40 will be able to connect with the security authentication set in advance for connection with the police office server 50. When the management server 40 is connected to the police agency server 50, the illegal vehicle information is transmitted to the police server 50 (S23). The police office server 50 compares the illegal vehicle information received from the management server 40 with the information stored in the illegal vehicle information DB 51 (S24), and determines whether the illegal vehicle information is matched (S25). When the illegal vehicle information received from the management server 40 is not identical to the information stored in the illegal vehicle information DB 51, the police agency server 50 transmits an inconsistency message to the management server 40 together with the error processing S26). However, when the illegal vehicle information received from the management server 40 matches the information of the illegal vehicle information DB 51, the police server 50 transmits the illegal vehicle information to the situation room server 60 and transmits the illegal vehicle information to the police station, (S27). Accordingly, the situation room server 60 causes the illegal vehicle information received from the police agency server 50 to be displayed through the integrated situation control system 61 (S28). The integrated situation control system 61 via the control room server 60 displays the photographed image, position and time information of the illegal vehicle in real time.

With reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the payment of points for compensation and award to the member who has photographed illegal vehicle information on the management server and transmitted the information. In the present invention, although the compensation or prize point payment is set as a basis, it may be possible to pay in-kind or cash.

5, when the management server 40 receives illegal vehicle information from the black box 10 of the member (S30), the management server 40 transmits the illegal vehicle information and the illegal vehicle information stored in the car number information DB 44 After comparing with the information data (S31), it is judged whether or not it is a matching car number (S32). If there is a match, the management server 40 sends the corresponding message to the black box 10 of the corresponding member in addition to the error processing (S33) 41 in step S34, and transmits the payment information of the rewards point to the black box 10 or the smartphone 30 of the member (S35).

In addition, the management server 40 receives information on whether or not illegal vehicle information is utilized from the police office server 50 (S36). When the police server 50 does not utilize illegal vehicle information, (S37). Then, the management server 40 detects that the illegal vehicle is arrested by using the illegal vehicle information at the police station server 50, thereby determining that the award has been decided to the information provider Upon receipt of the award, the management server 40 issues a reward point to the member in accordance with the reward rules generally paid by the NPA, and stores the reward point in the member information DB 41 (S38) To the black box 10 or the smartphone 30 (S39).

6, when the impact sensor 12 of the vehicle's black box 10 senses the impact of the vehicle but it is impossible to extract the vehicle type or vehicle number, The black box 10 installed in the vehicle can be separated and the corresponding vehicle can be manually photographed.

3, when the impact is sensed according to whether or not the vehicle senses an impact from the outside (S3), when the impact sensor 12 is not operated due to a slight contact, (S4).

Therefore, in the case where an impact amount exceeding a threshold value is detected in the impact detection sensor 12 or in the manual shooting mode by the driver, the flowchart is the same as that of FIG.

That is, the control unit 17 of the black box 10 extracts image data for a certain period of time before and after the impact of the vehicle when the vehicle experiences an impact equal to or greater than a threshold value, and stores the extracted image data in the memory unit (S50). If the driver of the vehicle manually shoots the front or rear of the vehicle in the manual shooting mode, the control unit 17 stores the photographed image data in the memory unit 16 (S51).

The control unit 17 detects the vehicle information using the vehicle type recognition algorithm installed in the control unit 17 from the image data extracted and stored in the memory unit 16 (S52). Then, the control unit 17 compares the vehicle information detected by the vehicle type recognition algorithm with the vehicle type data stored in the vehicle type DB 21 (S53). The control unit 17 discriminates the type of the vehicle from the comparison of the vehicle information (S54). At this time, if the type of the vehicle is not discriminated, the error message and the corresponding message are displayed through the display unit 18 and the warning unit 23 (S55). When the type information of the vehicle is determined, the control unit 17 stores the type information in the memory unit 16 (S56).

The control unit 17 detects the vehicle license plate using the vehicle number recognition algorithm installed in the control unit 17 from the image data extracted and stored in the memory unit 16 and then extracts the vehicle number information (S57). At this time, if the vehicle number information is not extracted, the message is displayed along with the error processing through the display unit 18 and the warning unit 23 (S58). When the number information of the vehicle is extracted, the control unit 17 stores the information in the memory unit 16 (S59).

The control unit 17 connects the vehicle information data including the vehicle type read out from the vehicle type recognition algorithm, the vehicle number extracted from the vehicle number recognition algorithm, and the photographing position and time to the management server 40 via the communication means 20 The security authentication is performed (S60). Then, the control unit 17 transmits the extracted vehicle information data to the management server 40 (S61).

The management server 40 stores the vehicle information data received from the black box 10 of the member in the member information DB 41 in step S62 and transmits the vehicle information data to the police server 50 or the black box 10 of the member (S63). The black box 10 is connected to the insurance company server 71 of the insurance company to which the vehicle belongs.
