BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, It can be easily carried out. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a driver's convenience providing system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the driver's convenience providing system according to the present invention includes a wearable device 10 and a convenience-providing device 20 mounted on the vehicle.

First, the wearable device 10 may be implemented in various forms, but it is preferably implemented in a form that can be worn on the wrist as shown in FIG.

Specifically, the wearable device 10 includes a wireless charging coil, a Bluetooth antenna (BLE ANT), a display (LCD), side buttons for menu selection (biometric information and control) Lock / Unlock / Trunk), and a smart key LF antenna (SMK LF ANT).

In addition, the wearable device 10 includes a battery, a G-sensor for motion correction, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor, and the like at a portion in contact with the skin.

The configuration of the wearable device 10 is as shown in Fig.

On the other hand, when the wearable device 10 receives a lock release request from the driver, the wearable device 10 transmits a driver's skin temperature to the convenience-providing device 20 together with a request to unlock the door through RF (Radio Frequency) communication.

In addition, the wearable device 10 performs Bluetooth pairing as it enters the LF (Low Frequency) communication area of the convenience-providing device 20, and transmits the biometric information (amount of activity, sleeping time and oxygen saturation) 20). At this time, the wearable device 10 can detect the activity amount and the sleeping time through the G-sensor and can detect the oxygen saturation through the photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor.

Further, the wearable device 10 transmits the EMG value to the convenience-providing device 20 as it enters the LF area located around the trunk of the vehicle.

Further, the wearable device 10 vibrates according to the vibration signal from the convenience-providing device 20. [

When the wearable device 10 receives the pulse measurement request signal from the convenience providing device 20, it measures the pulse and transmits it to the convenience delivery device 20 via the LF communication part 22, The pulse measurement stop signal is stopped.

Next, the convenience-providing device 20 provides various convenient functions to the driver in cooperation with the wearable device 10 having various functions.

Hereinafter, a convenience device will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an apparatus for providing a convenience according to the present invention.

2, the convenience providing apparatus according to the present invention includes an RF communication unit 21, an LF communication unit 22, an air conditioning driving unit 23, a warning unit 24, a trunk driving unit 25, 26).

First, the RF communication unit 21 receives the driver's skin temperature together with the door unlock signal from the wearable device 10, and transmits the vibration signal to the wearable device 20.

Next, the LF communication unit 22 is a module that communicates using a low frequency band (for example, 125 to 134 KHz) mainly used by the smart key system. The LF communication unit 22 receives, from the wearable device 10 entering the LF communication area, Sleep time, and oxygen saturation.

Next, the air conditioning driving section 23 drives the air conditioning apparatus of the vehicle under the control of the control section 26. [ Here, the air conditioner includes an air conditioner, a heater, and the like.

Next, the warning unit 24 warns the sleeping operation of the driver under the control of the control unit 26. [

Next, the trunk driving unit 25 performs the opening / closing of the trunk under the control of the control unit 26. [

Next, the control unit 26 performs overall control so that each of the components can perform the function normally.

In particular, when the controller 26 receives the skin temperature of the driver through the RF communication unit 21, the control unit 26 controls the air conditioning driving unit 23 in consideration of the difference with the room temperature of the vehicle. That is, the heater is driven when the skin temperature of the driver is higher than the indoor temperature of the vehicle by a threshold value, and the air conditioner is driven when the skin temperature of the driver is lower than the indoor temperature of the vehicle by a threshold value.

Further, the control unit 26 further controls the air conditioning driving unit 23 based on the amount of activity, sleeping time, and oxygen saturation of the driver received through the LF communication unit 22.

 That is, if the sleeping time is less than the reference time, the control unit 26 determines that the drowsiness driving possibility is high and lowers the warning criteria of the drowsiness driving prevention system (not shown).

If the amount of activity (exercise amount) does not exceed the reference value, the control unit 26 sets a destination which is spaced apart from the destination by a predetermined distance so as to be able to walk to the destination in cooperation with the navigation system (not shown).

In addition, the control unit 26 controls the air conditioning driving unit 23 to operate in the outside air inflow mode in which outside air flows into the vehicle when the oxygen saturation does not exceed the reference value.

When the driver is located in the vehicle, the control unit 26 requests the wearable device 10 to measure the pulse, receives the pulse signal from the wearable device 10, and determines whether the device is in dangerous operation based on the pulse signal. That is, a warning is given through the warning unit 24 or a vibration signal is transmitted to the wearable device 10. [

In addition, the controller 26 may interlock with the autonomous vehicle traveling system (not shown) so that the driver stops the vehicle on the shoulder when it is determined that the driver is in a cardiac arrest state.

When the wearable device 10 senses the wearable device 10 via the LF antenna located around the trunk of the vehicle, the control unit 26 requests the driver's electromyogram value from the wearable device 10 and opens the trunk when the acquired value exceeds the threshold value. And controls the trunk drive unit 25 to drive the vehicle.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a driver's convenience providing method according to the present invention.

First, the RF communication unit 21 receives the driver's skin temperature from the wearable device 10 (501).

Then, the control unit 26 primarily controls the air conditioning driving unit 23 in consideration of the difference between the skin temperature of the driver and the room temperature of the vehicle received through the RF communication unit 21 (502). That is, it determines whether to operate the heater or the air conditioner.

Thereafter, the LF communication unit 22 receives the driver's biometric information from the wearable device 10 (503).

Then, the control unit 26 performs the secondary control of the air conditioning driving unit 23 using the biometric information received through the LF communication unit 22 (504).

Meanwhile, the method of the present invention as described above can be written in a computer program. And the code and code segments constituting the program can be easily deduced by a computer programmer in the field. In addition, the created program is stored in a computer-readable recording medium (information storage medium), and is read and executed by a computer to implement the method of the present invention. And the recording medium includes all types of recording media readable by a computer.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the drawings.
