Hereinafter, a vehicle collision accident notification method using the vehicle crash alarm system of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a collision notification method in a car parking status, in particular, among the notification methods using the automobile collision notification system of the present invention.

First, the vehicle crash alarm notification system is installed in a car C and includes a control unit 100, a storage unit 110, a crash sensor unit 120, a communication unit 130, a GPS unit 140, (150).

In addition, a vehicle black box unit 200 for providing image information on the running of the vehicle can be provided.

It is assumed that the collision accident notification method in the car parking state of the present invention, which will be described with reference to FIG. 2, is performed commonly by the victim vehicle side and the assailant vehicle side.

First, when the driver starts the car C, power is supplied from the internal power outlet of the car C to the power source unit 170 of the present invention crash alarm notification system 10, The storage unit 110, the collision sensor unit 120, the communication unit 130, and the GPS unit 140 of the terminal device 10 while the power is supplied from the battery power source itself to the power source unit 170, , And the vehicle driving information collecting unit 150 are activated (step S 101).

Next, the control unit 100 reads the identification information of the vehicle such as the vehicle registration number and the vehicle type of the car C stored in the storage unit 110 or the unique number of the terminal of the present invention system (step S 102 ).

At this time, the control unit 100 may also read the driver's personal information such as the name, address, etc. of the owner of the car stored in the storage unit 110. [

The identification information of the vehicle stored in the storage unit 110 may be input by the driver through the display unit (not shown) of the present invention as described above. Preferably, The identification information of the vehicle stored in advance in the mobile communication device 400 owned by the driver of the vehicle C is transmitted to the communication unit 130 of the automobile collision accident notification system 10 It is automatically transmitted to a wireless communication module such as a Bluetooth module and stored in the storage unit 110.

Also, when the owner carries the personal information of the owner of the car stored in the storage unit 110, the personal information such as the name or address of the owner stored in advance in the mobile communication device 400 owned by the owner It may be automatically transmitted to the communication unit 130 (more preferably, a wireless communication module such as a Bluetooth module) of the automobile collision accident notification system 10 of the vehicle collision avoidance system 10 and stored in the storage unit 110.

In addition to the identification information of the vehicle or the personal information of the owner, the actual information of the actual driver who carries the car C can also be stored in the storage unit 110. For this purpose, when the actual driver boarded the car C The personal information such as the name and the address of the driver stored in advance in the mobile communication device 400 possessed by the driver is transmitted to the communication unit 130 of the automobile collision accident notification system 10 of the present invention (more preferably, Module so as to be stored in the storage unit 110 so that it is possible to easily determine who has driven the car C at a specific time even if the same car C is used . In order to automatically update the driver's personal information, a mobile communication device 400 of a driver of the automobile C receives a driver's personal information and stores it in a memory device of the mobile communication device 400. [ (So-called " smartphone application ") can be embedded and executed.

Then, the identification information of the vehicle read by the controller 100 or the unique number of the terminal is transmitted to the server 300 through the wireless communication module of the communication unit 130 (step S103).

At this time, the server 300 can receive the personal information of the owner of the vehicle together with the identification information of the vehicle, and confirm whether or not it matches the personal information of the owner registered in the database 310 interlocked with the server 300.

That is, when the owner's personal information received from the automobile collision notification system 10 of the present invention matches the owner's personal information registered in the database 310 linked to the server 300, If the information is inconsistent, the server 300 recognizes the information as abnormal and can take necessary measures.

Here, the necessary measures that the server 300 can take include, for example, a message of a legitimate owner registered in the database 310, a message asking the driver to confirm the identity of the driver driving the car C, It is possible to prevent an unauthorized driver who is not registered in the server 300 from operating.

Of course, matters concerning the actions of the server 300 when the driver is inconsistent may be arbitrarily set by those skilled in the art depending on the use purpose of the automobile collision accident notification system 10 of the present invention.

If the vehicle identification information is omitted, a collision signal is generated from the collision sensor unit 120, which will be described later, and the vehicle collision occurs. When the information is transmitted to the server 300.

Next, the control unit 100 monitors whether a collision signal of the car C is received from the collision sensor unit 120 provided in the system 10 according to real time or at a predetermined time interval (Step S104) .

At this time, when a collision signal is generated from the impact sensor unit 120 due to an impact from the outside of the automobile C, the control unit 100 receives the collision signal generated, and at the same time, Information on whether the starting of the vehicle C is turned on / off, the number of revolutions of the engine (rpm), the speed information of the car, To the server 300 through the communication network N linked to the communication unit 130, the image information on the vehicle provided by the unit 200 and the identification information or the terminal unique number stored in the storage unit 110 Step S105).

Hereinafter, when a collision signal of an automobile is detected as described above, all information related to collision of the corresponding vehicle transmitted to the server 300 by the control unit 100 is referred to as automobile collision information.

Then, the server 300 stores the vehicle collision information received from the collision accident notification system 10 of the present invention in the interlocked database 310, and transmits the collision information of the vehicle to the server 300 It is determined whether the vehicle is the offending vehicle or the victim vehicle (step S 106).

In the embodiment of the present invention, a method of determining whether the vehicle is a perpetrator vehicle or a victim vehicle by the server 300 includes determining whether the vehicle start / (Rpm) information provided by the engine revolving system of the automobile C, and the speed information of the automobile provided by the speedometer of the automobile (C).

That is, when the vehicle is parked, the start of the vehicle C is turned off, or when the engine speed (rpm) of the vehicle C is zero or when the speed of the vehicle C is zero, If the start information of the car C is OFF, the engine speed rpm of the car C is zero, or the speed of the car C is zero, the corresponding vehicle can be seen as the victim vehicle being parked.

On the other hand, if the start information of the vehicle C is ON in the vehicle collision information, the engine speed rpm of the vehicle C is not 0, or the speed of the vehicle C is not 0, It can be seen as an assailant vehicle that caused a collision with the victim's vehicle.

At this time, the embodiment of the present invention assumes a case where the speed of the assailant vehicle is stopped after the collision and the engine 300 is turned off or the speed of the engine becomes zero, and the server 300 determines that the vehicle When the collision information is received, the vehicle and the victim vehicle are discriminated.

The server 300 determines whether the vehicle is a perpetrator or a victim's vehicle of the automobile in which the server 300 transmitted the automobile collision information. If the automobile is the perpetrator's car, the server 300 searches the database 310, (Step S 107).

On the other hand, if the vehicle is a victim's vehicle, the corresponding vehicle is registered in the database 310 as a victim vehicle (step S 108).

Meanwhile, when the server 300 determines whether the vehicle is a perpetrator or a victim vehicle, the controller 300 may determine whether the server 300 refers to the image information on the vehicle traveling from the black box unit 200 of the vehicle.

Next, the server 300 refers to the time information of the vehicle collision information of the one of the assailant vehicle and the victim vehicle and the position information of the vehicle, and determines whether the collision time and the collision place recorded in the corresponding vehicle collision information are the same The offender vehicle or the victim vehicle is retrieved from the database 310 (step S 109). If the collision time and the collision place of the two vehicles on which the collision information is received in the server 300 are identical to each other, it is obvious that the two vehicles collided with each other.

Therefore, when the assailant vehicle and the victim vehicle that are the same as the collision time and the collision place recorded in the vehicle collision information are retrieved from the database 310, the server 300 refers to the contact information of the driver stored in the database 310, The identification information (vehicle registration number, vehicle type, etc.) of the vehicle of the vehicle is transmitted to the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the vehicle through the communication network N (step S110).

The server 300 refers to the contact information of the driver stored in the database 310 and stores the identification information of the victim's vehicle (the vehicle registration number, the vehicle type, etc.) in the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the assailant vehicle, (Step S111).

Then, identification information of the vehicle of the assailant vehicle transmitted from the server 300 is displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the victim vehicle, and identification of the vehicle of the victim vehicle transmitted from the server 300 Information is displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the offending vehicle (step S 112).

Therefore, the driver of the victim who is in the parking position can easily grasp the car that has collided with his / her car, so that a car accident by the so-called hit-and-run vehicle can be prevented in advance.

At this time, it is preferable that an application program (so-called 'smartphone application') embedded in the mobile communication device 400 is executed and personal information of the driver is displayed.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of notifying a collision of an automobile in a mutual running state, in particular, of a notification method using the automobile crash alert system of the present invention.

As described above, the automobile crash alert system is installed in the automobile C and includes a control unit 100, a storage unit 110, a crash sensor unit 120, a communication unit 130, a GPS unit 140, The information collecting unit 150 may be a terminal for managing a car.

In addition, a vehicle black box unit 200 for providing image information on the running of the vehicle can be provided.

In addition, it is assumed that the automobile of the present invention, which will be described with reference to FIG. 3, is commonly performed in both vehicles having a collision accident.

First, when the automobile of the present invention is in operation, the steps S 101 to S 105 described above with reference to FIG. 2 are performed in the same manner in the two vehicles (integrated into the 'A' Step S 101, step S 104, step S 105 are performed)

Hereinafter, the steps after the collision of both cars in operation and the collision information of the car from each of the cars to the server 300 (step S 105) will be described in detail.

In the case where both vehicles collide with each other during operation, information on whether the vehicle C is turned ON / OFF, information on the engine speed (rpm), and information on the speed of the vehicle are transmitted from the vehicle to the attacking vehicle It is difficult for the server 300 to automatically perform the judgment of the victim's vehicle. In this case, the server 300 does not determine the assailant's vehicle and the victim's vehicle, and transmits the judgment to the driver's mobile communication device 400 By transmitting only the identification information of the opponent vehicle, it is possible to easily confirm the opponent's vehicle to the driver of the opponent vehicle that caused the collision.

That is, when the server 300 receives the vehicle collision information from the two cars that are in operation, the collision information of the corresponding vehicle is stored in the interlocked database 310 (step S 206). Based on the stored vehicle collision information, Refers to the time information of the car collision information of the vehicle and the position information of the car and searches the database 310 for the other vehicle or the victim vehicle whose collision time and collision place recorded in the car collision information are the same 207). As described above, if the collision time and the collision place of the two vehicles in which the collision information is received in the server 300 are the same, it is obvious that the two vehicles collided with each other.

Thus, when two vehicles having the same collision time and collision place recorded in the vehicle collision information are retrieved from the database 310, the server 300 refers to the contact information of the driver stored in the database 310, The identification information of the vehicle of the other vehicle is transmitted to the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the vehicle through the communication network N (step S 208); The identification information of the vehicle of one vehicle is transmitted to the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the other vehicle through the communication network N (step S 209).

Then, the identification information of the vehicle of the other vehicle is displayed on the display screen of the driver's mobile communication device 400 of the one vehicle, and the identification information of the vehicle of the one vehicle is displayed on the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the other vehicle (Step S 210).

Therefore, even in the event of a collision between two vehicles, the driver of the two vehicles can easily grasp the other vehicle in the collision, and the occurrence of the accident and the consultation in the compensation process can be performed more smoothly Of course, the collision information of both cars stored in the database 310 of the present invention can be usefully used when judging a perpetrator's vehicle or a victim's vehicle.

4 is a flowchart of a collision notification method between a car and a pedestrian among the notification methods using the automobile collision accident notification system of the present invention.

As described above, the automobile crash alert system is installed in the automobile C and includes a control unit 100, a storage unit 110, a crash sensor unit 120, a communication unit 130, a GPS unit 140, The information collecting unit 150 may be a terminal for managing a car.

In addition, a vehicle black box unit 200 for providing image information on the running of the vehicle can be provided.

Further, it is assumed that the pedestrian carries the mobile communication device 400.

First, when the car and the pedestrian of the present invention collide with each other, steps S 101 to S 105 described in FIG. 2 are performed in the same manner in the automobile. (Integrated into the 'A' step, preferably at steps S 101, S 104 and S 105)

Hereinafter, the steps after the car collides with the pedestrian and the car collision information is transmitted from the car to the server 300 (step S 105) will be described in detail.

In the case where the vehicle and the pedestrian collide with each other as described above, the information on the ON / OFF state of the start of the vehicle C transmitted from the vehicle, the information on the engine speed (rpm) It is difficult for the server 300 to automatically perform the judgment of the abuser and the victim with the speed information only. In this case, the server 300 does not determine the perpetrator and the victim, And transmits the identification information of the collided vehicle to the mobile communication device 400 of the pedestrian so that only the other party's identity can be mutually confirmed to the two parties that caused the collision.

That is, when the server 300 receives the car collision information from the car, it stores the collision information of the car in the linked database 310 (step S306).

In addition, when the pedestrian collides with the automobile, the information of the collision position with the time when the pedestrian collided with the automobile from the mobile communication device 400 possessed by the pedestrian is transmitted to the server 300 and stored in the database 310 S 307).

The transmission of the collision time and the position information of the pedestrian can be performed through a program of an application built in the mobile communication device 400 possessed by the pedestrian. For example, the impact sensor An application program is running that is capable of automatically transmitting collision time and position information when a shock or gravity sudden change in a gravity sensor (not shown) or a sudden change in gravity (sudden collapse of a pedestrian) is detected Or information of the collision time and collision position of the pedestrian can be transmitted to the server 300 through an application program having an input window so that the pedestrian can directly transmit the collision time and the collision place to the server 300 have.

Then, the server 300 refers to the time information of the car collision information and the location information of the car based on the stored car collision information, and determines that the collision time and the collision place recorded in the car collision information collide with the same collision time A pedestrian having information of the position is searched from the database 310 (step S308).

As described above, if the collision time and the collision place of the vehicle in which the collision information is received in the server 300 are the same as the collision time and the collision place of the pedestrian, it is obvious that the car and the pedestrian collided with each other.

Therefore, when the automobile and the pedestrian having the same collision time and the collision place recorded in the automobile collision information are retrieved from the database 310, the server 300 transmits the contact information of the driver of the car stored in the database 310 to the pedestrian The personal information of the pedestrian is transmitted to the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the vehicle through the communication network N (Step S309), referring to the information. The identification information (vehicle registration number, vehicle type, etc.) of the vehicle is transmitted to the mobile communication device 400 of the pedestrian through the communication network N (step S 310).

Then, the personal information of the pedestrian is displayed on the display screen of the mobile communication device 400 of the driver of the vehicle, and the identification information of the vehicle is displayed on the mobile communication device 400 of the pedestrian (Step S311).

Accordingly, the driver and the pedestrian of the vehicle can easily grasp the personal information of each other, so that the driver can fulfill the obligation of driving attention such as timely reporting of the collision accident, It is possible to prevent a hit-and-run accident that causes a sudden departure from the scene. In addition, the collision information of the automobile stored in the inventive database 310 can be usefully used when it is determined whether or not the automobile is a perpetrator.

FIG. 5 is a control flowchart of an automobile travel distance accumulation unit of a vehicle collision accident notification system for integrating the traveling distance of the present invention.

First, the control of the vehicle travel distance integrating unit is performed by a control unit 100, a storage unit 110, a collision sensor unit 120, a communication unit 130, a GPS unit 140, a vehicle driving information collecting unit 150, It is presumed that the terminal device is a car management terminal device having a distance integration section 160.

First, when the driver starts the car C, power is supplied from the internal power outlet of the car C to the power source unit 170 of the present invention crash alarm notification system 10, The storage unit 110, the collision sensor unit 120, the communication unit 130, and the GPS unit 140 of the terminal device 10 while the power is supplied from the battery power source itself to the power source unit 170, , And the vehicle driving information collecting unit 150 are started (step S401).

Next, the control unit 100 reads identification information of the vehicle such as the vehicle registration number and the vehicle type of the car C stored in the storage unit 110 or the terminal unique number (step S 402).

At this time, the control unit 100 may also read the driver's personal information such as the name, address, etc. of the owner of the car stored in the storage unit 110. [

Then, the identification information or the terminal unique number read by the controller 100 is transmitted to the server 300 through the wireless communication module of the communication unit 130 (step S403).

In the case where the vehicle identification information is omitted, the vehicle distance information integration unit 160, which will be described later, integrates the vehicle distance information of the automobile in step S402 and S403, And is included when the non-usable information is transmitted to the server 300.

At this time, the server 300 can receive the identification information of the automobile as well as the personal information of the owner of the automobile.

Next, the vehicle travel distance accumulation unit 160 provided in the system 10 of the present invention is connected to the on-board diagnostics of the vehicle (step S 404).

Then, the vehicle travel distance accumulation unit 160 receives the travel distance information of the vehicle from the on-board diagnostic device, accumulates the accumulated travel distance information in an associated storage module (not shown), and stores the accumulated information (step S405).

In this state, in order to operate the traveling distance information of the automobile of the automobile in such a state, the power to the inventive system 10 from the power source unit 170 is cut off by disconnecting the battery or turning off the power source from the power outlet, Alternatively, if the communication between the system 10 of the present invention and the on-board diagnostic device is interrupted to disable the vehicle mileage distance accumulation unit 160 (step S406), the control unit 100 controls the power supply of the system To the server 300 through the wireless communication module of the communication unit 130 (e.g., time information on the time when the communication with the onboard diagnostic unit is stopped or information on the time when the communication with the onboard diagnostic unit is stopped) Step S407), and the server 300 stores the vehicle mileage accumulation disabled information in the linked database 310 (step S408).

When the power of the system of the present invention is restored or the communication between the system of the present invention and the onboard diagnostics is resumed and the function of the vehicle travel distance integrating unit 160 is resumed (step S409), the vehicle travel distance integrating unit 160 From the on-board diagnostic device, the travel distance information of the vehicle while the vehicle is in the disabled state of the system of the present invention, and stores the accumulated information in the interlocked database (step S410).

Therefore, since the disabled state of the vehicle mileage accumulation unit 160 of the present invention is stored and managed in the server 300, it is possible to accurately measure the mileage information necessary for estimating premiums of the used car transaction and the mileage linked automobile insurance, It is possible to prevent the manipulation of the traveling distance information of the automobile and the forgery modulation in advance.

In the auxiliary step of receiving the travel distance information of the vehicle while the vehicle travel distance accumulation unit 160 is in the disabled state of the system of the present invention in step S 410, The traveling distance of the automobile can be calculated using the information of the vehicle.

That is, since the traveling distance of the automobile = the speed v of the automobile x the time t, the car traveling distance integrating unit 160 receives the current time information from the GPS unit 140, ECU and receives the speed information from the ECU and calculates the distance information according to the travel distance formula, thereby performing the auxiliary calculation of the travel distance information of the vehicle while the present invention system is disabled.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, , Changes and substitutions are to be construed as falling within the scope of protection of the present invention.
