[ When the power is turned on, the fixed terminal 300 outputs the electronic map and the position information through the fixed terminal display 320 or the communication command with the battery 120 formed in the fixed terminal display 320 on the initial screen is output to the set switch Or icon. Accordingly, the fixed terminal control unit 310 determines whether a switch or icon for which a battery communication command is set is selected through the fixed terminal display 320.

The information requesting and receiving step S330 is a step in which the fixed terminal control unit 310 controls the fixed terminal local communication unit 330 to inform the battery communication unit 140 of the battery state information And receiving the request. Here, the fixed terminal control unit 310 controls the fixed terminal local communication unit to request battery state information from the battery member 100, and receives battery state information through the fixed terminal local communication unit 330.

The warning message may include, for example, 'the voltage of the battery 120 is insufficient and there is a possibility of stoppage during running'.

In addition, the driving step S300 of the fixed terminal may transmit the overdischarge information to the portable terminal 200 in the overdischarge determining step S350 and the warning step S360. This is for the case where the user is unable to recognize the over-discharge warning signal output from the fixed terminal 300 when the user is located outside the automobile in the start-up state.

In the server transmission determination step S440, the portable terminal control unit 210 determines whether a transmission command is applied to transmit the received battery status information to the central server 400. [ Here, the user can input a server transmission command of the battery status information through the application output to the portable terminal display 220.

The battery state information transmission step S450 is a step in which the portable terminal control unit 210 controls the portable terminal long-distance communication unit 240 to transmit battery state information to the central server 400. [

The notification message reception step S460 of the server calculates the service life of the battery 120 through the battery state information transmitted in the server transmission determination step S440 and transmits a notification message of the central server 400 including the replaceable time Receiving and outputting. When the portable terminal control unit 210 receives a notification message including the battery replacement information indicating the replacement time or the remaining life of the battery 120 through the portable terminal remote communication unit 240 in the central server 400, To the portable terminal display (220).

The over-discharge determination step S470 is a step for determining whether the portable terminal control unit 210 receives an over-discharge signal of the battery 120. [ Here, the overdischarge signal of the battery 120 is transmitted from the battery unit 100 to the fixed terminal 300 and transmitted from the fixed terminal 300 to the portable terminal 200 when the automobile is started and the user is located in the vehicle. Or the battery over discharge signal is transmitted to the portable terminal 200 from the battery unit 100 or an overdischarge signal is received through the fixed terminal 300 if the vehicle is being started and the portable terminal 200 is located outside the vehicle It is also possible.

Also, it is preferable that the overdrive signal is directly transmitted from the battery member 100 to the mobile terminal 200 if the automobile is turned off.

The service information request and reception step S480 is a step in which the portable terminal control unit 210 transmits service information and / or an emergency dispatch request signal to the central server 400, Or the service information including the contact information or the dispatch message of the service center. Here, the portable terminal 200 may transmit its own position information together with an overdischarge signal. The location information may be received from the fixed terminal 300 as described above or may be calculated by its own program.

Accordingly, when the overdrive signal is received from the portable terminal 200, the central server 400 transmits the contact and position information of the service center or service center that can replace or repair the battery 120, The mobile terminal 200 can transmit the location information received from the mobile terminal 200 and request emergency dispatch.

In the case of emergency dispatch, the central server 400 returns a message including an emergency dispatch message to the mobile terminal 200. Or service information including the location information and the contact information of the service center or the repair shop in the vicinity of the portable terminal 200 when the service is not urgent.

As described above, according to the present invention, a fixed terminal 300 including a battery 120 installed in a car and a navigation device fixed and / or fixed to the car, and a battery (not shown) 120) By checking the status information from time to time, the user can check the battery life or replacement time from time to time.

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 as defined in the following claims And changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
