KR20010035155A - Vehicle inspection management service method and device using wireless communication - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: An automobile inspection-management service method is provided to safely utilize an automobile by automatically inspecting a condition of the automobile though a driver do not care. In addition, a maintenance company or an insurance company goes looking for the position and takes measures after checking the position of the automobile through a wireless communication if a problem is happened. CONSTITUTION: An automobile inspection-management service is provided with a plurality of sensors(3), a wireless communication inspection device(2), a server. The sensors(3) inspects various condition of an automobile like an engine oil, a brake, a spark plug, a fuel, an ECU(Electronic Control Unit), an exhaust gas, and an engine noise. The wireless communication inspection device(2) converts an inspected data to a wireless communication signal and transmits the signal to a server. The server converts the data of the wireless communication signal to a database and automatically transmits the data of the database to a driver, a maintenance company, or an insurance company through a wireless communication. In addition, the server provides information about the data through an Internet or an ARS.

Description

Vehicle inspection management service method and device using wireless communication {omitted}

The present invention relates to a service method and apparatus for inspecting and managing a state of a vehicle using wireless communication, and more particularly, to inspect various states of a vehicle using a sensor, and to replace the checked data with a wireless communication signal. When sent to the server, the server converts the data received by the wireless communication signal into a database (D / B) to manage the history of various conditions of the car, and again to inform the driver, maintenance company, insurance companies, etc. necessary data using wireless communication The present invention relates to a technology and apparatus for a service method that enables a car management history to be viewed through an ARS (Automatic Answering System) or the Internet. In general, the technology for checking the condition of the vehicle is various, and various inspection techniques and equipments are used, and they remain at the level of inspection using patented state or simple characteristics.

In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a device called an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which has a technology to check the various conditions of the car through this, but the inspection details cannot be recognized by the general method, but only with advanced equipment. In addition, each car has a different program, which is complicated.

Although the Internet manages data in the form of car service book and provides various additional services, it is cumbersome to input data directly from the driver or maintenance company.

In addition, there are companies that go to the site for maintenance, but drivers need to find and contact directly, and there are places that operate on a membership basis, but it is not easy for general drivers to use due to the high burden of subscription fee.

To prevent theft of automobiles, there are cars equipped with anti-theft devices and vehicle location tracking equipment, but the location tracking equipment is expensive, so it is rarely attached to general vehicles.

The present invention is to inspect and manage the vehicle by using the inspection sensor, the wireless communication technology and the technology for converting the wireless communication signal to the data of the server in order to solve the above problems.

It is possible to continuously check the vehicle manually by using various sensors, and to manually record the checked data to the server book or the Internet by using the wireless communication technology. To do that.

The server 4 automatically programs the wireless communication signal into a database to automatically manage the inspection details of the vehicle and retransmits the details to the wireless communication checker, the driver, the maintenance company, and the insurance company using the wireless communication technology. In addition, the server (4) intends to provide these data to drivers, maintenance companies, insurance companies, etc. using ARS (Automatic Response System) technology and the Internet data providing technology.

If the data of the vehicle (for example, engine oil viscosity, oil amount, brake wear, fuel amount, etc.) are checked using various sensors 3, the wireless communication checker 2 sends the data to the wireless communication checker 2. The monitor 5 mounted on the vehicle monitors the status from time to time to the driver and transmits data to the server 4 through the wireless communication part 8. The server 4 converts the sent data into computer data using an internal program to build a car management database (D / B).

The data to be sent back to the vehicle is converted into a wireless communication signal from the server (4) and sent to the wireless communication checker (2) of the vehicle for the driver to check.

When the state requiring maintenance is confirmed in the server 4, the driver is automatically notified through wireless communication. The driver checks the contents directly contacted by the communication such as the display 5 or the mobile phone, and presses the call button 6 of the wireless communication checker or requests the server 4 by the communication such as the mobile phone to request maintenance. ) To check the location of the car using the location tracking device (7) of the wireless communication checker (2) and to automatically contact the nearest maintenance company or insurance company using wireless communication. The server 4 automatically organizes all of these processes in a database and provides these data to drivers, maintenance companies, insurance companies, etc. via ARS or the Internet.

As described above, the wireless communication checker (2) can automatically maintain and manage the state of the vehicle without the driver's concern, and the wireless communication checker (without having to manually record the checked data on the account book or the Internet) 2) can be automatically sent to the server (4) to continuously record and manage the status check history of the car.

If a problem occurs, the wireless communication is used to automatically contact the driver or the maintenance company to take action so that the driver can check and manage the condition of the car without any concern.

If you want to see the details of the vehicle inspection and management, you can use the ARS (automatic response system) of the server 4 or the Internet.

Claims (3)

Various conditions of the vehicle are automatically checked using the sensor (3) and sent to the wireless communication checker (2) mounted on the vehicle. The wireless communication checker (2) transmits this data to the server (4) by wireless communication. Automatically organizes the data, and sends the collected data back to the wireless communication checker, driver, maintenance company and insurance company through the wireless communication of the server (4). The data collected on the server (4) is a car inspection management system provided to drivers, maintenance companies, insurance companies, etc. via ARS (Automatic Response System) or the Internet. A device that converts the checked data into a wireless communication signal using the sensor 3 and sends it to the server 4, and shows the data sent from the server 4 to wireless communication to the driver. The data sent to the wireless communication from the wireless communication checker (2) establishes a database on the computer and converts the data into a wireless communication signal and sends the data to the wireless communication checker (2) and the driver and maintenance company. Server (4) devices providing data to the Internet
