The face estimating unit 320 may include an image storing unit 321 and an image determining unit 322 as shown in FIG.

The image storage unit 321 is a database in which existing sample images are stored. The image storage unit 321 samples and stores a plurality of face images by gender and age.

The image determination unit 322 compares the face image transmitted from the camera module 310 with the sample image stored in the image storage unit 321 to determine the sex and age of the passenger.

For example, the image determining unit 322 may determine the sex or age of a passenger by comparing the presence or absence of a whisker, the length of a head, and the like included in the face image with a sample image of the image storage unit 321.

The face estimating unit 320 may be provided in the control server 400. Alternatively, the face estimating unit 320 may be included in the display unit 200 together with the camera module 310. [

Accordingly, the control server 400 can maximize the advertisement effect by providing the image data matching the gender and the age of the passenger estimated by the face estimating unit 320. [

The control server 400 may include a communication unit 410, a storage unit 420, a content providing unit 430, and a control unit 440 as shown in FIG.

The communication unit 410 communicates video data of the black box 100, running record data including GPS data, digital running record data of the OBD module 150, camera module 310, And transmits the video contents to the display unit 200. [

The storage unit 420 stores the image data of the black box 100, the running record data including the GPS data, and the digital running record data of the OBD module 150. The storage unit 420 may store the data in the private cloud server 400a as shown in FIG.

The contents providing unit 430 transmits image contents such as an advertisement image, a moving image, and an IPTV image to the display unit 200. [ In the content providing unit 430, the above-described face estimating unit 320 may be configured to provide image contents matching the sex or age of the passenger.

The control unit 440 transmits and receives data while controlling the communication unit 410, the storage unit 420, and the content providing unit 430, processes the received data, and provides the processed data to the user.

The control unit 440 calculates the driving record of the vehicle such as the vehicle condition at a specific position through the data received from the black box 100 and the OBD module 150 and accumulates the driving record in the storage unit 420 . The control unit 440 loads the accumulated driving record and displays the accumulated driving record on the electronic map executed by the user's PC 10 or the smart phone 20,

In addition, the control unit 440 compares the calculated safe driving index with a predetermined reference index, and when the safe driving index is below the reference index, the control unit 440 sends a warning message to the smartphone 20 of the driver or the black box 100 of the vehicle Can be transmitted.

Meanwhile, the controller 440 may estimate and calculate the real-time traffic volume. Specifically, the control unit 440 estimates and calculates the traffic volume at each vehicle location based on the data transmitted by the black box 100 and the OBD module 150 installed in a plurality of different vehicles, and calculates the traffic volume To the smartphone 20 or the corresponding black box 100 of the driver.

A vehicle operation management method according to an embodiment of the present invention including the above-described components will be described with reference to FIG.

The control server 400 receives and stores the driving record data of the vehicle and the design driving record data of the vehicle transmitted from the black box 100 and the OBD module 150 installed in the vehicle (S100).

Based on the received data, the control server 400 calculates safe driving indices and traffic amounts such as vehicle speed, steering status, and failure status at a specific position, speed information, and the like, To the smartphone 20 of the driver (S200).

Accordingly, the driver confirms the information necessary for driving, such as traffic volume, through the electronic map executed on the smartphone 20, and transmits information such as the current safe driving index and the failure state of the vehicle to the black box 100, (20).

On the other hand, the display unit 200 senses that the passenger is seated in the passenger seat and operates (S300). When the passenger is sensed, the display unit 200 outputs the advertisement image or the image content transmitted from the control server 400 to the passenger ).

At this time, the camera module 310 photographs the passenger seat in real time and transmits the photographed image to the control server 400 (S310). The control server 400 judges whether or not the face image is included in the photographed image, (S320).

The control server 400 classifies the plurality of sample images by gender and age and detects the presence of passengers and stores them in the storage unit 420 at step S330. The sex and age of the passenger are compared with the image (S340).

Accordingly, the control server 400 transmits the image content to the display unit 200 through the content providing unit 430, and provides the image content matching the sex and age of the determined passenger to the display unit 200 (S400).

As described above, in the vehicle operation management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the image data of the vehicle by the black box 100 and the running record data of the vehicle provided by the OBD module 150 are provided to the control server It is possible to calculate and manage the safety driving index for the driver as well as the image data of the vehicle and to operate the display unit 200 mounted on the vehicle according to the detection signal of the passenger sensing unit 300, In addition, the passenger detection unit 300 can estimate the gender and the age of the passenger through the face image of the passenger, thereby providing the advertisement image or the image content corresponding to the sex or age of the passenger.
